This is a want ad for the Seoul, South Korea setting of the site.
[[Mod Note: While most of the characters in the Seoul setting would be talking in Korean most of the time, this is an English language site, so all role playing will take place in English with other language words as flavor text with translations provided in the post (or thread if it is recurring usage). There are some common words, such as honorifics, that may be contained in the setting info, and they do not need to be translated every time.]]
While Thomas has had positive interactions with many of his classmates, he's made precisely one close friend since coming to Korea, and she's not someone he would have necessarily expected to make friends with.
Kim Misuk
Gender: Female
Birthday: Anywhere from Fall 1997-December 1998
Member Group: Ox or Tiger
Sexual Orientation: Lesbian
Residence: Lives at home, off campus but not far from Seoul National University where she is a student
Suggested Face Claim: Jung Eunha (Jung Eunbi) of Gfriend [this is entirely negotiable, but should be right around the right age and Korean]
Occupation:
- Was a university student at Seoul National University, who double majored in Mathematics Education and Studies in East Asian Humanities (or something similar enough that it makes sense that there was a term she shared her schedule exactly with Thomas) during the same time frame as Thomas, graduated shortly before him
- Probably has some sort of part time job / a job not in field
- Was involved in mentoring programs at Seoul National University (and maybe in community as well), continues to do ones she doesn't need to be a student to do
- Yuseong fansite (specifically Taehoon) [this means that she is a fan who takes pictures and posts them publicly on the internet, she is a "big name" enough fan that Taehoon knows who she is (though there's a second reason for this), and a lot of other fans know who she is, though not necessarily by anything other than screen-name]
Personality Notes:
Misuk is in general pretty calm and composed. She got to know Thomas in the first place because she was part of the Yuseong fans crowds on campus who he noted as being chill and reached out to in an effort to help control fan behavior around Qiwang while he was at school. It worked in large part because of Misuk. She's a good leader, likes to mentor people, and is very big on personal privacy/personal space.
Interests, Hobbies, and Talents:
- She likes photography and is pretty good at it
- She's working towards a teaching career, though she may not be sure that that's what she wants to do long term (it may be a compromise between her interests and what her parents want of her)
- She has an electric scooter and used it to commute to and from school
- She's a good mentor and likes taking people under her wing
- She likes languages and cultures to the point that she did an extra major to take more classes in it
- She likes music (specifically pop music, specifically Kpop, specifically Yuseong) and probably dance (considering Taehoon is her favorite Yuseong member, though that may be more personality than skill)
Family Notes:
- Misuk lives with her parents
- She may or may not have siblings (up to you), but if she does, they're probably either younger than her or much older
- She doesn't believe (correctly or not) that her parents would accept her if she came out
- Parents probably have pretty high expectations of her in general
Interactions with Thomas:
- Started out as collaborating to get the fans to give Qiwang (Yuseong member) more space while he was on campus for his classes because Thomas had identified her as one of the fans of Yuseong on campus who was good about space and the others seemed to look to as a leader
- They had all their classes together second term and ended up doing a bunch of group work together
- Ended up pretty good friends, especially because Misuk doesn't push him to tell her about Yuseong, or let her meet them in some way
- Thomas is close enough to her to call her "Misuk-noona" though he may not technically have to refer to her as older if she's born after the Lunar New Year in 1998 (he's born before the Lunar New Year in 1999, so weird age timing for Korean age stuff)
Extra Notes:
- I have a backstory bit about why she is specifically Taehoon's fan that I would want to let you put in your own context
- I have an idea for the thread where she comes out to Thomas, but again, I want to let you put it in your own context (this would probably need to be a backdated thread)
- I also have some ideas for directions that this character could go in the future, some of which are more obvious with her major than others (and some of the less obvious ones provide potential tie ins to other Seoul plots)
If you're interested in the character, please PM me, reply, or message me in Cbox so that we can discuss options!
