[oculvs]

alright kiddos let’s get this started ! first of all , sorry this is late - i work full time & even if i didn’t this would have probably still been posted late lmao . i’m liza , 20 , & i’m in the pst timezone ! under the cut you can find more about my baby demon , arden !  (tw : drug mention / use , exploitation )

( hwang yeji, cisfemale, she / her, 21. ) — ARDEN WU, better known to the authorities as OCULUS, has been working for the kumiho for around TWO YEARS as a LOOKOUT. rumor has it, they can be INNOVATIVE & RESOLUTE but also DITZY & IMPETUOUS which is why red stained fingertips, bruised hips, neon - lit silhouettes, & white - powder lines makes me think of them.

born in washington dc to an affluent family ( ik shocking ) & as an only child . her mom was practically already a socialite & her dad was climbing the social ladder because hint hint he was already involved in criminal activity when she was born ( as was her mom , but her career was more a front to cover for the fact ) . 

her dad was heavily involved in drug trade , not necessarily like . . . crime family related but he had a reputation & people knew him as a  ‘ drug lord ‘  to those within their VERY inner circle , even though i don’t really have a better way to put it lmao . even now she never really questioned how her dad got involved in this kind of business ? just assumed that it was a generational thing . or that he got involved with the wrong people before she was born & never wanted to fix his affiliations .

her family actually created a charity organization for them to funnel money through without suspicion . including laundering , writing off books , etc . you know , the whole deal of a scam ! this basically helped her family create a front of respectability within the media & painted them as people who could do no wrong . definitely something she will take advantage of when she gets older haha !

arden got involved in this stuff from a young age . when she was fourteen to sixteen , her main purpose was to be the face of her family’s charity . speaking about the cause & how much donations & its volunteers were helping keep them afloat . she obviously knew what her family was doing at the time , but even when she was a kid she was kind of groomed to accept this as her reality . her entire life she kind of became good at putting on specific faces depending on who was with .

her family moved to seoul when she was seventeen only because her father wanted to expand their so - called ‘ charity ‘ & make it more global . it was basically his way of making their family untouchable in their trade . it was also when she was seventeen she started to resent her father for using her as nothing more than a face for his mission ? there was only so much she would be willing to take before it became too much , & it was when she was eighteen did she start looking for ways to act up . arden even started to experiment with her dad’s supply when she was around this age because it felt almost natural for her ?  -  it never became a habit , but she still uses from time to time . no one really knows about this except for a select few . 

became a part of the kumiho when she was nineteen , & the role of lookout actually suits her perfectly because believe it or not , she enjoys being in the background . it allows for her to see things & people that normally wouldn’t show their true colors in front of others .   -  ie , her codename : oculus . also a HUGE part of her involvement is because she wants to beat her parents at something . . . anything .

her persona is extremely . . . ditzy lmao . not necessarily dumb , but she pretends to not be the smartest person around for the very purpose of people thinking she’s not capable . honestly , she has an obsession with proving people wrong & being underestimated ? phew babey ! she also doesn’t open up her real personality to many people because she doesn’t want people to see her as a threat ? she’s obviously not a physical threat lmao , but she has no problem with hurting those who wrong her if it came to it . 

huge issues with authority , i mean . . . huge . probably will ignore rules & warnings until she absolutely has no choice but to follow them . i’m almost sure she loves to create problems that don’t exist but do with that what you will ! 

idk what else i’m missing but that seems to be the gist ! please just plot w me . . . i’m desperate . & don’t be afraid to make it ugly 🤠

anyways like this to plot ig . or add me on discord : STREAM HIT BY SVT 🤠#5875 if that’s ur jam !

i have connection ideas too but i’m not gonna list them out bc this is frankly long enough & i am Tired

but yah hello let’s GO .

#kumiho.intro #spare plots please ... spare plots ? #im sorry this is so messy but i rushed n i have been up since 6 am kdsnflkds

[dvinitys]

hi everyone !! my name is j and i’m really excited to be here !! this is my tortured soul, dohyun, and he was absolutely based off of hades when i made him for my indie and i wanted to bring him into a group setting !! below i’ve left his about + some possible connection ideas, if anyone wants to plot just give this a lmk !!

( jeon jungkook, cis-male, he/him, twenty-two. ) — DOHYUN LIM, better known to the authorities as GEMINI, has been working for the kumiho for around FOUR YEARS as a THE RUNNER. rumor has it, they can be LOYAL & PASSIONATE but also DETACHED & ARROGANT which is why red wine, the burnt smell of blowing out a match and broken glass at a bar makes me think of them.

BIO

dohyun is the last person on earth who should have money, he is the last person who should be allowed to be in control of anything. yet, somehow he is both rich and powerful. a terrible, combination.

he grew up wealthy, thanks to his dad who for majority of his life was a crime boss. he showed dohyun the life of drugs, sex and karma ( reminder to always pay your debts ). 

dohyun is addicted to money, so instead of being in the family business he started his own, now the owner a night club called OLYMPUS. strippers, booze, and VIPs only, no one would ever know that the mobsters he knows work down in the basement, paying him a nice amount of cash every week to rent out his space and to look the other way.

he was rich and he was soulless.

CONNECTION TO THE HEIST

olympus is his pride and joy and he opened it at 18, and he knows how to be a criminal because of his dad. he didn’t join the crime life that his dad wanted but a few months into owning it, and seeing the illicit activities going on down in the basement, he was itching to get back. missing the thrill of it.

one of the guys he knows knew how to get into kumiho and he gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse. a RUNNER who was deeply connected in the mafia + the city, able to get them whatever they wanted, no cost. his golden ticket in. 

he’s been working for them for 4 years and tries to come across as an introverted millionaire who is too busy giving back + running a business to have any time on his hands.

POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS

OLD FLING - he doesn’t date, he’s never been in a relationship, he has no feelings. but he LOVES sex. maybe a one-sided crush that ended badly between the two of them ??

CURRENT FLING - someone he’s currently having causual hooks up with. nothing more than that

WORKER - someone who works @ olympus with him, thinks he’s the worst boss ever and hates his guts

anything else that’s not boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other bc he’s never been in a relationship

( park chanyeol, male, he/him, twenty - five. ) — CHO JAEHWAN, better known to the authorities as ANGEL, has been working for the kumiho for around FOUR YEARS as a MEDIC. rumor has it, they can be ASTUTE & METICULOUS but also MOODY & FACETIOUS which is why tired but focused eyes, powder blue surgical gloves, blood - soaked gauze and perfectly aligned medical tools remind me of them. ( jovi, she/her, 24, pst. )

okay so this is going not be poetic or like ... anything just. a bunch of rambling LMAO

born in gangnam on february 11, 1994 to two nationally renowned surgeons and all his life, it was believed he would follow in their footsteps. he was well on his way to the medical field for as long as he can remember, his parents filling his head with medical textbooks, saw his first cadaver when he was eight, even had him watching surgery tapes when he was barely thirteen years old. blood  &  guts were something he became  immune  to, even  fascinated  by. to the point where he was unfazed by some of the goriest scene. horror movies soon became his favourite genre, stephen king books lining his shelves at home as a teenager. posters from cult classics like nightmare on elm street, saw, scream plastered upon dark grey bedroom walls. his passion for the arts was of course shot down by his parents, so he put it aside to please them.

his parents always thought it was strange, but they couldn’t do much about it---- they were constantly working. in fact jaehwan would argue the housestaff had more of a hand in raising him than his actual parents did, but he keeps this to himself--- he keeps most things to himself. despite his upper class upbringing, jaehwan never carried himself with proper etiquette : used profanity rather often, and some might say he has a resting bitch face--- while he did manage to maintain perfect posture, he always looks disinterested in whatever’s going on around him and to a certain extent, that was true. he was always very much aware of the fact that everything he had in life was handed to him, and he often felt bored of that. 

high school he fell into the popular crowd considering his status, but he was always that mysterious and brooding type. he never intentionally tried to include himself, he was just often invited--- everyone wanted to be friends with him, and he never considered any of them close enough for the title. not that any of them really had a chance considering he spent most of his time studying. his parents put a lot of pressure on him to have perfect grades, which he achieved, and this inevitably helped him get into a prestigious university in seoul to study pre-med.

college was when jaehwan started to experiment more with socialising: drinking more, getting high, sleeping around ( this is also the time he realised he was bisexual, and there was no hesitation in coming out, though his parents hardly reacted / do not ever address it ) and he was finally figuring out how to enjoy himself. he enjoyed the freedom. his parents even invested in a house for him close to the university, and he would often host parties ( his halloween parties were the best the campus had ever seen. ) but even with so many people surrounding him, he often found people shallow and he lacked interest in forming actual friendships with anyone. it’s not that he thought he was better than everyone else, he just found it hard to relate to people. he could smile & laugh along with them, even dance and look like he’s having the time of his life, but that would be thanks to the alcohol. as soon as it fades away, he’s back to a closed off and distant persona, standing around with his arms crossed and sighing defeatedly at just about everything.

college was mostly a breeze though, always the top of his class, but jaehwan never felt that any of his achievements were fulfilling ---- it always felt like life was happening to him rather than him taking any sort of control over his life. so instead of following through with his first year surgical internship, he ended up dropping out--- why? because by the time he was twenty-one, he had gotten involved with the kumiho.  becoming involved with the kumiho was more of a strange way of compromising with himself, because he knew he had a gift--- he just didn’t want to waste away in the hospital setting. see, jaehwan gets bored easily, and the life the kumiho offered him was so much more thrilling. 

his decision to opt out of becoming a surgeon left his parents wallowing in disappointment, causing a rift within the family ( not that there was much a difference, they were never that close anyway )  ----  but he hasn’t looked back since.

he’s extremely organised, and tends to wash his hands more frequently than one really needs to. his house is always pristine, and half the time it’s his own work rather than hired maids.

he loves rainy / cloudy weather, anytime the sky looks particularly gloomy.

he has glasses but often switches between them and contacts.

he switched his major to study film ( much to his parents’ dismay ) and now has a degree and is currently seeking inspiration for his first project, and he gained a large following on social media after finally pursuing art as a hobby. 

he has an eye for dark / grungy ( ? ) aesthetics and people seem to enjoy his posts / insight.

he’s lowkey weird.. but he’s hot.. so..  LMAO

he is ... not exactly ready to settle down quite yet so he’s good for casual flings but not a serious relationship or anything like that

( kim chungha, cisfemale, she/her, 23. ) — SOJIN GODFREY, better known to the authorities as IVY, has been working for the kumiho for around TWO YEARS as a MAGICIAN. rumor has it, they can be CHARMING & INGENIOUS but also SECRETIVE & RECKLESS which is why well worn sneakers, loud music playing from someone else’s headphones, scuffed knees, & stick and poke tattoos makes me think of them. ( opal, she/they, 21, est. )

sojin was born in seoul but whisked off to london, england days after just entering the world. her mother was a 17-year-old who put her up for adoption as soon as she was well and able enough. sojin says that it was her destiny to be “abandoned” because she wouldn’t have gotten the chance at life that she did with her adoptive parents

her life was a fairly normal one. she grew up with two loving parents and two younger (also adopted) siblings. sojin had everything she wanted and nothing to complain about yet she always felt she was missing something. from a young age sojin always had the urge to be free

sojin was their child in almost every sense of the word but she always felt she owed them something. like she wasn’t completely there. when she was 18, fresh out of high school sojin told her parents that she was moving to seoul to study. and to potentially find her birth parents. she loved and appreciated her parents for everything they did for her so leaving was hard for her especially since they were the only thing she knew. they always encouraged her to follow her gut so follow she did.

sojin always had a knack for getting away with things she shouldn’t have been doing. even if she’d been caught red-handed she had a way to get out of it and get away with what she came for. she had started out pick-pocketing people when she first moved to seoul. once she realized how easy it was to swindle people she’d moved up to full-on thievery in plain sight. a smile here, a flutter of eyelashes there, a kiss to seal the deal and it was all hers.

for a while, sojin did focus on her studies but they quickly took a back burner when she realized she could literally make a living off of other people. she’d never really had to take initiative for herself because her parents always took care of her. but now that she finally felt that sense of freedom she’d been yearning for, there was no telling how far she’d go.

EXTRAS

sojin is probably the biggest goofball ever. it’s rare to see her without or smile, or trying to make somebody laugh. she’s not afraid to make herself look like a clown if it means the people she loves are smiling

she’s obsessed with fashion and knows all the latest styles and clothing. will not hesitate to drag you shopping with her and make you try on everything in the store

she’s currently working on getting her degree in psychology. she stopped going for a year after becoming obsessed with money and joining the kumiho and decided to go back after she made enough money to completely pay for it herself

ignores her problems until she can't anymore,,, literally avoids them at all costs

avoids confrontation too. good luck trying to fight her because she’ll just look at you and laugh

yeaaah thats p much it

i have wanted connections that i’ll probably have up soon

if you wanna plot feel free to lms or message me on d*scord wanna funk?#1622

hey guys it’s your neighborhood loser, j, back with another character !! this is my ( other ) son baekhyun ( dohyun... baekhyun ... im sensing a theme ) anyway, i’m really excited for him and just like dohyun was based off of hades, baekhyun is based off of heracles bc im a heaux for greek mythology, if u want to plot give this a like or a drop me a line on d*cord dia's baby#4655 !! 

TW: DRUG USE & CAR ACCIDENT & DEATH

( park seonghwa, cis-male, he/him/his, twenty one. ) — i hear that BAEKHYUN CHOI has been living in seoul for around 21 YEARS and works as an OLYMPIC ATHLETE. rumor has it, they can be RATIONAL & TALENTED but also BOSSY & UNRELIABLE which is waves splashing, wax melting and the smell of chlorine makes me think of them.

BIO

baekhyun choi was meant to be an olympic athlete, ever since he was a baby he loved to be in the water and basically spent his life there. ever since his parents realized of his talents he’s been enrolled in swim lessons, and was on the swim team, breaking local and national records in his sport. he was someone they always had an eye on.

greatness only comes once in a lifetime and baekhyun knew that, which is why he was being scouted for the olympics already by the age of 13, coaches knowing they needed to train him to be the best that he could be. and he enjoyed it, until it became a chore, and until just a few months before his olympic team try out he decided to let loose.

he was 16, a kid, but his first sip of alcohol and his first puff of smoke, it gave him that same high as being in the pool — maybe even more than that. it became a regular thing with his friends, and even as he started to show up to practice less and less, his talents soared way beyond and he was picked for the olympic team. he would be compete for a gold medal at 16 years old.

they say what happens at the olympics stays there, that there’s a bunch of partying behind the scenes that no one brings up. cocaine, ecstasy, unlimited alcohol — you name it, someone was supplying it. it’s how baekhyun slipped down the slope even further, and hey — how cool was it to be doing lines off your gold medal ??

too bad for baekhyun that it became a habit, an addiction of sorts. he was trying less in swim and trying more for partying. sex. drugs. anything to give him that sort of high. which is why when the pictures of him snorting cocaine and participating in group sex once he was 18 leak to the press, his whole world has suddenly been outed.

he was a disgrace to his family, and to his country. a life that he was addicted to, one that he couldn’t get enough of was one that he had to apologize for. his parents made him hold a press conference, tried to watch what he was doing. and although baekhyun put on the good boy act — nothing was getting through to him. no, he was just falling more and more into a hole that he would never be able to get out of. and more pictures leaked, and more conferences were held, and the more he ruined his reputation the more he wanted it. it was a never ending cycle

at the age of 20, by some miracle, baekhyun was asked back to participate in the olympic team trials, and by some even bigger miracle, he placed the fastest in all of his events. by some grace of whatever God, he was on the team. and after he snorted a line, he went out and did the best press conference of his life, putting the faith back in him and his abilities.

gold medals are fun to win, and even more fun when you’re celebrating with your teammates. but, who knew the rain was going to be that bad ?? who knew that the bus would lose control ?? who knew that all of his teammates would die in that accident and baekhyun, by some stroke of luck, would be the only one alive ?? with survivor's guilt no less.

a year has passed since the accident, and it’s the only thing that has woken him up. he’s starting to get sober, although not completely, he’s trying to become a better person. his parents are constantly reminding him how lucky he is to be alive. and he is constantly fighting with the idea of being the only one alive, and finally living his life the best and healthiest way he can.

POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS

unlike dohyun, baekhyun is actually able to fulfill 99.9999% of wanted connections !! he’s bisexual and thriving so come plot with him !!

TW; Violence, Blood, Death, Cancer 

Born the illegitimate child of a Russian government-working father and a Korean graphic designer mother, Kai grew up in the blankets of wealth his parents never had - the boy was grateful enough to realize the state of comparison to the families around him, and from an early age he develops a humble and high-minded personality. Thanks to his father’s well-paying job, Kai receives personal schooling and is able to indulge in as many side-activities as he chooses, although the prior solidifies a slight awkwardness in approach to other children his age due to him not being as active in their social circles. Still, Kai is avid in his hobbies - the boy seems to be able to pick up many talents with little effort, most especially being wood carving and singing. Kai takes an extreme liking to the latter, and upon his parents noticing, begins to receive vocal training that will benefit his future. The boy was as happy as happy could be, and never once did he find himself breaking out of the childlike innocence that holds him to the moment. 

Innocence….a beautiful word. But innocence does not save Kai from the heartache to strike him at 11 years old. Too young to realize the exact intricacies of his father’s job, Kai moves on with his life while his father struggles to keep a scandal behind the scenes. Indeed the senior had made a mistake in some financial suites, resulting in the loss of a few tax funds that made anyone but pleased in the matter. His father was able to clean up the mess with no major issues, however, some people were still not satisfied.(edited)Their revenge was solidified when young Kai and his parents were out walking in a park late at night after viewing a recent showing of the boy’s favorite musical, The Nutcracker. Stopping briefly in the cold winter night to pick up a frosted-over flower, Kai was met with the sounds of screaming and bone cracking clattering against his eardrums as he watched on as a group of men surrounded his parents and beat them mercilessly with metal clubs and baseball bats. 

 And then it was over, just like that.

In less than 10 minutes, Kai’s entire life was ripped from his fingers, no inquiry given to why he was spared but only to the beaten and bloodied corpses of his mother and father. He never learned who carried out the act and who gave the orders, but as he watched on at their government state funeral decorated too lavishly for his own tastes, his hands clenched tightly at his sides, he swore he would find out.

Although inheriting all of his parent’s money, young Kai is unable to take on the mantle of responsibility due to the mental weight the incident left on him, and instead leaves Russia to live with his aunt in South Korea, his mother’s homeland. It is luckily for him that he ended up where he was and not in some random orphanage - most of his mother’s immediate family had renounced her for being with a foreigner and having a child before being married, all except for her sister whom had held steadfast in their family ties. After the murder of his parents, the last thing Kai would have wanted was to move thousands of miles away to a country he had never been to, yet he had little say in the matter as he said goodbye to the snow-topped buildings of Moscow and hello to the monstrous sun-lit skyscrapers of Seoul. 

He grows fast, although he never forgets the incident. The once outgoing and playful boy becomes a shell of his former self, a silence filling him as he takes on an icy approach. Kai is grateful for the kindness shown to him by his mother’s sister, and despite meeting her at such a disastrous time, grows fond of the woman and becomes attached to her. She teaches him Korean and English, languages he manages to pick up easily due to his mixed heritage, and he in return teaches her Russian for when she might want to visit his mother’s grave. The two grow to have a nearly inseparable bond, and although he will always hold a place in his heart and mind for his parents, Kai begins to slowly move on and finally heal. However, even at 19 years old, it seems fate is not yet done in sharing with him some of its tragedy. 

It happens quickly - one day she is as bustling and happy and ever, and the next Kai is standing over her body in a hospital bed as a doctor pulls the plug. Pancreatic Cancer, he hears them say, and almost in the blink of an eye he is back in a full circle of grief and mistrust as his heart is shattered before him. The simple pleasantries he has access to thanks to his wealth become insubordinate in comparison to the depression that sets upon him, and if not for an opportunity to present itself to him, Kai thinks he would have let himself rot away without meaning. 

From the flames of promise he had made to his dead parents in finding the perpetrators, so did rise a need to make clear of it. If not at that moment, then at some point would he make sure their heads hung from aged ropes in the winter wind. For the time being, though, his focus switched to something else; the mind. A bullet could get the job done, but Kai more so found himself wanting to understand and bring justice in other ways. Methodical and closed off from the rest of the world, he entered university for psychology and swept through with flying colors, hardly concerned with what other people dwelled on, there were hardly any distractions he allowed to take time away from his work. In the end, Kai graduated valedictorian and was immediately employed by the city’s law force as a criminal psychologist on the side of his own practice, unaware that the very man they were having understand delinquent’s minds was one himself with guarded secrets. Analyzing subjects before court cases, deeming insanity, attempting to extract information....Kai did it all, yet to him no crime was too great, and in every one he saw one of the masked men who had beaten his parents into the ground. This twisted mentality earned, in his eyes, swift punishment ― and with a silver tongue, intrusive methods, and hidden intents, he easily convinced many to initiate their own deaths or sent them to fates worse than death.

Because to him, no price was too great, and no crime too small.

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐎𝐍𝐄.      ／      HISTORY

alright, this is going to be a little all over the place since he’s a new muse but expect this to be updated later to look a little nicer

let’s buckle up, yeehaw 🤠

he’s somewhat inspired by lelouch vi britannia from code geass

haneul was born and raised in seoul, south korea with a silver spoon in his mouth and everything he could have ever wanted at the tips of his fingers. his father is a wealthy chaebol executive, and his mother a socialite whom were arranged to be married to solidify an heir to the lee family hotel chain

he’s got a little sister, hana, who is now seventeen and haneul’s favorite person in the entire world. when she was diagnosed with blindness and paraplegia, their father saw these medical conditions as imperfections and sent her away to jindo island to be raised by a staff of people. the girl’s as gentle as a flower and watching their own father throw her aside like she was nothing made him incredibly bitter towards his family, especially when their parents refused to visit and simply acted as if she never existed

growing up, he was allowed once a year on her birthday to visit her and spend the day but those visits stopped when he reached the age of sixteen. their father believed it was time for him to start learning about the family business and visiting hana was a distraction that he felt was holding haneul back when really it was one of his biggest motivations

i haven’t thought up how exactly he was recruited and maybe i’ll leave it that way since haneul is a private man. if you asked him how he joined, he’ll probably give some kind of story that sounds like it could be true but will change it when you ask again because he’s a smartass. the important thing is that he dropped out of business school in his last year due to some health complications of his little sister and despite coming from money, his parents definitely would not pay for any kind of medical assistance, so he joined the kumiho at first to pay the expenses but has since stuck with it

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐓𝐖𝐎.      ／      PERSONALITY

haneul got the code name dionysus so y’know this man is hedonistic as the god himself

he’s v flirty but at the same time he’s picky when it comes to those he actually gets into bed with???? like don’t think anything of it if he makes a pass at you tbh

he usually has a poker faced expression and keeps his actual feelings quite hidden

lowkey views everyone as somewhat of a pawn

a manipulative little fucker who knows how to get what he wants

shameless af but classy

he cares about the crew members ( as much as someone like him can or will admit ) and tries to look out for them even when it doesn’t involve a heist. i’d think of him as that person you go to for any kind of advice ?  he’s more of a listener than anything else but when he does call shit out he won’t sugarcoat anything, he’ll be straight up and won’t hesitate to tell you when you’re being a dumbass ... unless you not knowing you're being a dumbass benefits him in some way

tough love ? nope, it’s just tough with him bc love is a romantic concept which he hasn’t quite grasped

[ofchaeyoungs]

(  im jinah,  cisfemale,  she/her,  28.  )  —  i  hear  that  AHN  CHAEYOUNG  has  been  living  in  seoul  for  HER  WHOLE  LIFE  and  works  as  a  DETECTIVE.  rumor  has  it,  they  can  be  COURAGEOUS  &  RESPONSIBLE  but  also  STUBBORN  &  VINDICTIVE  which  is  why  red  bottom  louboutins,  coffee  lids  with  lipstick  marks,  messy  buns,  and  the  clicking  of  a  keyboard  makes  me  think  of  them.

               hello  there,  it’s  your  favorite  korean  …  ness,   again,  and  i’m  bringing  to  you  a  whole  new  muse  !  she’s  going  to  be  kind  of  tough  to  plot  with  but  i’m  willing  to  work  out  something  if  y’all  want  to  send  an  IM  or  add  me  on  discord  @  dumspter fire#4281  because  i’m  too  scared  to  approach  first.  i'll  probably  add  more  to  this  later.

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐎𝐍𝐄.      ／      HISTORY

the beginning of chaeyoung’s life was not filled with happiness as her birth caused complications for her mother that ultimately led to her passing away. it was a terrible tragedy that her father had to power through, mentally, in order to be there for his daughter.

being a single father was tough and he’d work late nights often but his boss would allow him to bring chaeyoung to the station. she grew up calling his coworkers her aunts and uncles, all of them taking care of and seeing her as their own. she had relatives other than her dad so the other officers quickly became somewhat of an extended family for her.

in school, she didn’t hesitate to speak her mind or call someone out if they were doing something wrong which somewhat intimidated the other students. being popular and having a lot of friends definitely wasn’t at the top of her priorities list as she didn’t see the need to change herself to fit in more. she was also quite smart and managed to score at the top of her class.

being a part of law enforcement has been her dream job since she was a kid. she was practically raised by her father and his colleagues so it came as no surprise when she enrolled in the korean national police university. it was tough being a woman in a field of mostly men which meant that she would always have to go the extra mile to stand out. she graduated and completed her mandatory rotation work before deciding to pursue a career in the investigative field, eventually working her way up to a detective.

her entire world was turned upside down three years ago when her father was caught in the middle of one of the crew’s heists. he was taken as a hostage and unfortunately, things went south and he ended up getting killed in the line of fire. it was the worst day of her life and she still hasn’t completely recovered from it, instead choosing to throw herself into her work and take on the kumiho case.

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐓𝐖𝐎.      ／      PERSONALITY

chaeyoung is a no nonsense™ kind of woman who hates wasting time

it’s incredibly hard to get her to open up whether she’s sober or completely drunk off her ass, she’s a very private person and never let’s anyone close because she’s not very sociable

the few that she has grown attached to are those she would lay her life on the line for in a heartbeat and without hesitation

she used to be more of a hot head but has since learned to channel her emotions through meditation and kickboxing

a workaholic and coffee addict that probably hasn’t had a healthy amount of sleep in years

#kumiho.intro

[bahkdown-blog]

( kim namjoon, cismale, he/him, 24. ) — BAHK GEUN, better known to the authorities as TARTARUS, has been working for the kumiho for around ONE YEAR as a JANITOR. rumor has it, they can be TRANQUIL & AFFABLE but also DISTRAIT & OBSTINATE which is why marked up calendars, cigarette butts, tangled headphones, and untied running shoes makes me think of them.

hello friends i am very late to this party but i’m amber and this is my babey geun !!  i’m from the est and i prefer she/her. i’m planning on putting up a bio page after i get out of work so there will be more info there asdfgfjgrse pls enjoy the show .

// HOW DID HE GET HERE ?? //

he’s lived in seoul his whole life; his mother is a biochemist and his father who has his own law firm

although he has an older sister, he is the crown jewel of the family for his keen interest to follow in his mother’s footsteps, but with a tWiSt~

geun excelled in science during his school years and traveled to america to enroll in college (stanford btw)

his sister also came to america with him to study fashion in california as well

their parents wanted her to be a stem major so they gave her enough money to go to school but told her to never come back

obvs shook by this info, geun told her he would take care of her (spoiler alert: he means it)

instead of being a biochemist like his mom, he decided to major in forensic biology bc the art of evidence he found... fascinating aka he wanted to know why people were stupid enough to leave a trace behind

after graduation, him and his sister decided to fly back home, but remember when she couldn’t return?? well, here’s where it gets juicy...

his parents paid for his housing until he found a lab that he felt comfortable working in, but their condition was that she was not allowed there and they would not pay for her housing

he’s broke!! no job yet!! and his parents won’t help his sister!! so he does what any low key genius would do

after swiping some materials from his mother’s lab (careful not to leave EVIDENCE duh) he started taking a lil peak at his mom’s bio notes as well as things he learned from school

he took capecitabine and extracted some molecules from it to just have the effect of loss of finger prints in a nonpainful way

bottled it and looked into different forums and back alley markets to sell it to criminals and made some profit from it (handsome profit)

when he saw the money he was making from it, he began to experiment with other chemicals and start his own lab at home - for instance, currently working on a lil something something to powderize blood that also acts as a strong bleach/peroxide (that doesn’t show up under luminol/blacklight)

he had the money to house his sister eventually; he started at a forensics lab in seoul and all was good

the money was too nice to stop (although his parents tried to dump boatloads onto him so he wouldn’t have to worry... he only takes a lil bit bc hey free money)

after a few months of selling his Walter White ™ chemicals, he went to go meet up for a sale of cheeto fingers (what he calls his fingerprint thing bc he babey) and that’s when he met.. The Mastermind

the rest is history... he was given an opportunity and he took it !! bc he loves forensic science but he loves being untraceable even more  !! (due to having to hide his sister and bc it’s just pretty cool ok)

// WHO IS HE ?? //

here are some basic facts about him -

they call him tartarus bc he is the black hole that traps all sinners 

he is calm and very friendly, hard to get mad u know, doesn’t yell... certified Baby ™

despite his attention to criminal detail, he forgets EVERYTHING even your name if you told him two seconds ago

he is also stubborn due to being a certified Princess ™ (he can double major... he has the range) so the only time you will ever see him angry is if he doesn’t get his way and it is NOT PRETTY

he is allergic to cashews and latex

he’s always listening to music BUT with only one earphone in so he can chat with people if they like

music is what gets him focused during his clean up jobs so do not be surprised if you catch him using a mop as a microphone

he likes to think he can make friends easily but he doesn’t understand that some people are Like That and he don’t like it

very family oriented, but only his sister he would ride or die for, so sister-oriented??? help??

that’s all for now folks tune in for the actual bio !!  he is soft angel child with hard head that has lowkey amnesia!! like dory!! like this if you want to plot so i can approach y’all!!

#i wrote this at WORK this morning!!! #kumiho.intro #(( ooc: geun )) #like this so i can plot with you!! #this ended up being longer than i thot and #i am iconique for it

born 4 may 2000,  in melbourne, australia.  their parents weren’t really ready for kids,  despite already having one child,  who was significantly older than artemis  (  about 5-8 yrs  ).

moved to korea just after they started primary school,  knew virtually no korean at that point.  attended an international school at first,  moved to a regular private school in middle school.

got into coding in middle school because they had fewer friends  &  a lot more enemies.  also became more jaded and generally quick to assume the worst of people.

during high school,  became lazy,  unmotivated and bored  (  artemis’ personal theory is that they’re just mildly depressed,  but that doesn’t really change anything.  )  and their parents thrust more responsibilities re: the family business on them in order to stop that.

it didn’t really work,  just made artemis more frustrated  /  bored with their life,  which led to them beginning to hack things.  they started small,  changing attendance records and generally improving their school’s computer system...  but quickly moved on to bigger and better things.  after they redistributed over six million won from their parents’ business partner’s company to struggling countries & charities,  the kumiho took notice of them and got in touch.

needless to say,  artemis accepted their offer,  and it was extremely beneficial for their mood.

they’re currently pursuing a degree in economics,  as well as spending almost all their spare time attending functions and arranging charities and suchlike.

honestly i’m down for anything  !  i’m really bad at plotting a lot of the time,  especially if i don’t have a clear feeling of how our muses might interact,  but once we start a thread i’ll probably come up with a ton of ideas.  i’m also a huge sucker for angst and platonic stuff,  and you’re welcome to just spam my ims with ideas.

some specific things that might work,  though,  are  :

that one member of the crew that they just really hate for no reason  (  or for a kinda dumb reason  )

partner in crime  /  bff

gaming friends  /  general friends

legit anything soft or angsty or both

fake dating  (  legit or ends in romance  )

rivals to friends  (  to lovers  )

                                                BIOGRAPHY.

born  and  raised  in  daegu,  south  korea.

parents  were  both  incredibly  well  known.  one  being  a  lawyer,  one  being  a  ceo  of  a  multi-million  dollar  corporation.

they  weren't  around  a  lot  due  to  how  busy  their  schedule  was,  so  minwoo  was  mostly  raised  by  the  nannies  /  maids  that  were  always  around.

there  was  a  tiny  bit  of  resentment  that  minwoo  held  towards  his  parents  for  never  being  around  that  he'd  take  that  out  on  the  nannies,  so  much  so  they  had  a  hard  time  keeping  a  full-time  nanny  hired.  they'd  constantly  quit  their  jobs  due  to  how  minwoo  treated  them.

after  a  while,  though,  the  choi's  were  able  to  find  one  nanny  in  particular  that  didn't  take  minwoo's  attitude  personally  &  didn't  allow  it  to  effect  their  job.  in  fact,  they  started  to  reprimand  min  for  the  way  he  was  acting  out.

at  first,  of  course,  minwoo  didn't  take  well  to  that  at  all.  he  got  more  angry,  started  getting  more  of  an  attitude.  but  after  a  while,  he  grew  tired  of  it..  finally  breaking  down  &  it  was  then  that  the  nanny  figured  out  why  he  was  lashing  out  at  every  person  that  happened  to  be  doing  the  job  his  parents  were  supposed  to  be.

minwoo  started  to  calm  down  after  that  day,  finally  starting  to  realize  that  it  wasn't  the  nannies  fault  that  his  parents  were  always  working  and  couldn't  be  around  to  raise  him  like  he  really  wanted  them  to  be.

it  was  then  that  his  grades  started  to  get  better,  attitude  improving  almost  completely.  sure,  there  were  days  where  it  still  got  to  him,  but  for  the  most  part  he  stopped  taking  it  out  on  everyone  but  the  people  actually responsible  for  the  way  he  felt.

his  school  days  after  that  went  really  well,  acing  all  of  his  classes  and  staying  at  the  top  of  his  grade  the  entire  time.  things  got  different  around  high  school,  though.  his  parents  started  breathing  down  his  neck  about  either  becoming  a  ceo  or  a  lawyer.

neither  of  those  things  is  actually  what  minwoo  wanted  to  do,  fully  unsure  of  what  he  wanted  to  do  with  his  life.  but  he  didn't  want  to  let  either  of  them  down,  so  in  his  free time  he  ended  up  studying  for  both  things.

completely  letting  his  'free'  time  go  in  order  to  please  both  of  his  parents  caused  him  to  start  building  up  his  aggression  &  resentment  once  more.

he  couldn't  take  it  for  much  longer,  his  parents  constantly  yelling  at  him  to  get  his  shit  together  caused  him  to  hate  school,  hate  studying  for  both  things  that  he  doesn't  want  to  do...

so  one  day,  he  snapped.  his  father  bursting  through  his  room  as  he  was  taking  a  break  only  to  start  yelling  &  instead  of  falling  back  into  line,  minwoo  got  up  &  got  in  his  father's  face  and  began  yelling  back.  telling  his  father  that  what  his  parents  wanted  him  to  do  wasn't  what  he  wanted  at  all.

his  father  didn't  take  too  kindly  to  that,  basically  telling  minwoo  that  if  he  didn't  want  to  do  either  of  the  things  his  parents  wanted  him  to  do,  he  could  move  out  and  deal  with  life  on  his  own.

to  prove  a  point,  that's  exactly  what  minwoo  did,  moving  into  his  aunt's  house  as  he  finished  high  school,  finding  multiple  part-time  job  that'd  pay  the  bills  he  needed  to  pay  as  well  giving  his  aunt  some  for  rent  just  because  she  willingly  let  him  in.

those  were  also  something  he  didn't  want  to  do,  but  he  did  them  anyways  just  to  be  able  to  have  some  sort  of  income.

after  he  graduated  high  school,  he  had  tons  of  colleges  that  wanted  him  to  join  them  just  because  of  how  good  his  grades  were,  but  that  also  didn't  seem  to  be  something  he  wanted  to  do.

he  declined  each  and  every  one  of  them  with  little  to  no  regret,  his  aunt  supporting  the  decision  even  though  she  wanted  to  see  him  do  something  better  with  his  life.

those  words  stuck  with  him  as  he  finally  moved  out  of  her  home  &  into  a  small apartment,  busting  his  ass  to  constantly  be  able  to  pay  bills.

it  wasn't  until  he  met  someone  at  the  bar  he  worked  at  that  his  life  started  to  take  a  turn  for  the  better.  the  mastermind  happened  to  frequent  the  place  he  worked,  always  giving  minwoo  a  hard  time  about  doing  better  things  with  his  life, only  for  minwoo  to  brush  it  off.

but  one  night,  min  finally  got  curious,  asking  the  mastermind  what  that  meant.  that's  when  the  offer  to  join  the  kumiho  was  set  in  place.  the  mastermind  had  seen  how  determined  minwoo was,  overheard  min  talking  about  the  four  shitty  jobs  he  had  to  work  in  order  'survive'  just  because  he  didn't  want  to  even  touch  the  money  his  parents  constantly  kept  sending  him  just  out  of  spite.

minwoo  actually  started  out  in  the  kumiho  as  a  runner,  getting  things  that  the  crew  needed  &  hiding  in  plain  sight.

however,  the  second  that  the  mastermind  found  out  about  minwoo's  studies,  they  were  quick  to  suggest  something  more,  explaining  the  difficulties  of  being  a  coordinator  &  explaining  why  they  thought  minwoo  would  be  perfect  for  the  job.

minwoo  was  skeptical  at  first,  though  it  only  took  a  few  days  of  debating  with  himself  before  he  agreed  &  ever  since  then,  he's  done  his  best.  he  wanted  to  make  sure  that  the  mastermind  was  proud  of  the  choice  they'd  made.

                                            PERSONALITY.

most  of  the  time,  minwoo  seems  pretty  cocky  &  sarcastic.

can  be  extremely  blunt  when  it  comes  to  certain  things,  even  if  his  words  might  happen  to  hurt  someone  else.

extremely  selfish  for  the  most  part,  always  looks  out  for  himself  before  he  looks  out  for  others...  but  he  does  still  care  about  others,  even  though  he  barely  shows  it.

also  loves  to  "one  up"  others,  it's  the  competitive  side  of  him  but  he  usually  does  so  in  a  playful  /  teasing  way.

he's  deep  down  really  goofy  &  loves  to  have  fun.  loves  to  explore  &  goof  off  whenever  possible.

has  the  tendency  to  hate  commitment,  so  whenever  feelings  start  getting  involved,  his  knee-jerk  reaction  is  to  run  &  avoid  it  at  all  cost.

is  one  of  those  people  who  pretends  to  hate  everything  &  be  really  serious  but  will  dance  around  his  room  in  his  boxers  when  he  thinks  no  one  can  see  him.

a  very  two-sided  person  but  not  in  a  way  that  could  be  seen  as  fake..  he's  just  got  a  very  serious  side  of  him  vs  the  goofy,  fun  loving  one  that  doesn't  get  to  be  seen  as  often.

extremely  serious  when  it  comes  to  his  job,  though.  will  call  people  out  on  the  smallest  of  mistakes  if  he  thinks  it'll  effect  any  of  the  heists.  he  really  has  no  issue  with  confrontation  &  will  do  so  if  he  thinks  it's  needed.

absolutely  loves  to  cook,  picked  that  up  when  he  was  living  with  his  aunt.  he  started  cooking  dinner  and  meals  so  that  his  aunt  didn't  have  to  whenever  she  got  home.

also  a  tiny  a  bit  neat  freak  so  he  gets  a  tiny  bit  stressed  out  whenever  headquarters  is  a little  bit  messy  and  will  either  just  clean  up  the  messes  or  get  snippy  with  everyone  until  he  figures  out  who  did  it.

loves  fashion,  constantly  is  seen  going  to  fashion  shows  to  try  and  keep  up  with  the  latest  trends  &  constantly  is  buying  clothes  &  accessories.

also  loves  cars,  will  buy  the  latest  and  greatest  models  of  each  and  every  sports  car  that  comes  out.

his  'socialite'  side  comes  out  the  most  during  events  where  he's  around  a  bunch of  people,  creating  new  ties  with  whoever  he  can  knowing  connections  like  those will  help  him  gain  new  followers  &  things  like  that.

known  for  modeling  &  his  instagram  /  social  media  posts,  gaining  a  following  just  because  of  his  'ootd'  posts  as  well  as  the  snapchat  videos  he  posts  about  his  daily  life.

( yang yang, cismale, he/him, twenty six. ) — ZHANG HANRUI, better known to the authorities as ODYSSEUS, has been working for the kumiho for around FIVE YEARS as a MAGICIAN. rumor has it, they can be OBSERVANT & IMPERTURBABLE but also FLIGHTY & AVOIDANT which is why the crack of a new deck of cards, impish grins, & the ebb and flow of the tide makes me think of them.

basics——

full name: zhang hanrui

nickname(s): henry ; odysseus

age: 26

hometown: hong kong

gender: cismale

pronouns: he/him

orientation: demisexual panromantic

occupation: professional magician ; magician for the kumiho

language(s) spoken: mandarin, cantonese, korean, limited english.

zodiac sign: libra

hogwarts house: ravenclaw

mbti: entp

background——

tl;dr: awkwafina’s character in oceans 8 meets shin lim???? yikes lol

born to a upper-middle class family in hong kong, hanrui’s thing was always music, particularly the piano. 

he started learning when he was four, and it became clear very quickly that he had prodigious talent. his parents——who weren’t bad parents, per se, but certainly weren’t ready to give up their high-powered jobs to settle down with a kid——encouraged his pursuits, enabling him to study the piano internationally. this was a pursuit that eventually led him to england, where he attended the purcell school for young musicians.

the magic thing actually started as a joke between him and his roommate at purcell, who thought that learning magic tricks would help them pick up girls ( or, in hanrui’s case, girls and boys lol ). hanrui realized that he actually really enjoyed doing magic, and kept up the practice even after the boys realized that literally nothing could help their chances.

hanrui ended up in seoul to attend a music conservatory, where everything was going great for him . . . until his senior year, when he developed acute carpal tunnel syndrome from over-practicing.

he took a sabbatical from his conservatory, but decided to stay in seoul. his parents wanted to him to work for one of their subsidiary businesses, but he didn’t?? want to?? 

as punishment they decided to cut him off financially; he took to busking magic tricks on the street bc transferable skills whomst?

and by busking i mean doing tricks but also swindling his audience bc tbh the rent isn’t gonna pay itself.

one day he made the unfortunate decision to try and scam the mastermind

and the rest, they say, is history.

( it’s actually not quite over; he eventually made the decision to drop out of school and pursue magic full-time, and he’s actually become pretty famous as a magician. and pretty infamous as a magician. )

personality & hcs——

very lowkey but honestly kind of a Big Drama Queen

exudes a lot of old man energy(tm) but it’s like kind of a front; is basically down for whatever after he gives a cursory “i’m too Old And Tired” argument

picked the name odysseus bc he feels like he’s Gone Through Shit

have i mentioned that he’s Secretly Dramatic

good at flirting his way into trouble,, not good at dealing with trouble

uhhh there are definitely more things i had in mind but they’re SLIPPIN and i gotta go to class!! but !! uh!!!! pls love him and also me sry this got q q long aaaaa

(  chae hyungwon,  cismale,  he/him,  25.  )  —  LEE  HANEUL,  better  known  to  the  authorities  as  DIONYSUS,  has  been  working  for  the  kumiho  for  around  THREE  YEARS  as  an  ADVISER.  rumor  has  it,  they  can  be  DECISIVE  &  CHARISMATIC  but  also  CAUSTIC  &  VOLATILE  which  is  why  gucci  cologne,  silk  ties,  glasses  of  wine,  and  bodies  tangled  in  sheets  makes  me  think  of  them.

               hello  there,  it’s  your  favorite  korean  …  ness,  and  i’m  so  excited  to  interact  with  y’all  !  i  use  the  pronouns  she/her  and  i  also  live  in  the  eastern  standard  timezone.  i  really  like  chemistry  but  have  a  few  things  in  mind  for  connections  so  if  you’d  like  to  plot  something  then  don’t  hesitate  to  send  me  an  IM  or  add  me  on  discord  @  𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐒 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐋𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐆#5752  because  i’m  too  scared  to  approach  first.

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐎𝐍𝐄.      ／      HISTORY

alright, this is going to be a little all over the place since he’s a new muse but expect this to be updated later to look a little nicer

let’s buckle up, yeehaw 🤠

he’s somewhat inspired by lelouch vi britannia from code geass

haneul was born and raised in seoul, south korea with a silver spoon in his mouth and everything he could have ever wanted at the tips of his fingers. his father is a wealthy chaebol executive, and his mother a socialite whom were arranged to be married to solidify an heir to the lee family hotel chain

he’s got a little sister, hana, who is now seventeen and haneul’s favorite person in the entire world. when she was diagnosed with blindness and paraplegia, their father saw these medical conditions as imperfections and sent her away to jindo island to be raised by a staff of people. the girl’s as gentle as a flower and watching their own father throw her aside like she was nothing made him incredibly bitter towards his family, especially when their parents refused to visit and simply acted as if she never existed

growing up, he was allowed once a year on her birthday to visit her and spend the day but those visits stopped when he reached the age of sixteen. their father believed it was time for him to start learning about the family business and visiting hana was a distraction that he felt was holding haneul back when really it was one of his biggest motivations

it was then that haneul began truly living and following in his father’s footsteps quite literally, spending most of his time outside of school sitting in on company meetings and watching his father work. ( tw: abuse ) he’d often talk back and refuse to cooperate but that’d only end in bumps and bruises at the hands of his dad. haneul soon learned that there was no point in fighting his inevitable destiny that’d been set in stone before he was born.

i haven’t thought up how exactly he was recruited and maybe i’ll leave it that way since haneul is a private man. if you asked him how he joined, he’ll probably give some kind of story that sounds like it could be true but will change it when you ask again because he’s a smartass. the important thing is that he dropped out of business school before graduating due to some health complications that suddenly popped up for his sister and despite coming from money, his parents definitely would not pay for any kind of medical assistance, so he joined the kumiho at first to pay the expenses but has since stuck with it

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐓𝐖𝐎.      ／      PERSONALITY

haneul got the code name dionysus so y’know this man is hedonistic as the god himself

he’s v flirty but at the same time he’s picky when it comes to those he actually gets into bed with???? like don’t think anything of it if he makes a pass at you tbh

he usually has a poker faced expression and keeps his actual feelings quite hidden

lowkey views everyone as somewhat of a pawn

a manipulative little fucker who knows how to get what he wants

shameless af but classy

he cares about the crew members ( as much as someone like him can or will admit ) and tries to look out for them even when it doesn’t involve a heist. i’d think of him as that person you go to for any kind of advice ?  he’s more of a listener than anything else but when he does call shit out he won’t sugarcoat anything, he’ll be straight up and won’t hesitate to tell you when you’re being a dumbass ... unless you not knowing you're being a dumbass benefits him in some way

tough love ? nope, it’s just tough with him bc love is a romantic concept which he hasn’t quite grasped

#kumiho.intro

[forgedqueen-blog]

helloooヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ i’m glucose ( 20, she/her, gmt+8 ), and i love birdwatching, drinking really cold drinks and writing poems that i never seem to finish ! nothing spells disaster more than creating a writing account a week before uni starts but here i am with narcisa aka CHAOS !

under the cut is bio, traits and wanted connections - leave a like if you’d love to plot !

NARCISA JIMINEZ ( alba flores, she/her, 32 ), better known to the authorities as CHAOS, has been working for the KUMIHO for around FOUR YEARS as CROWD CONTROL. rumor has it, they can be COERCIVE & SANGUINE but also BLIND-SIGHTED & IRRATIONAL which is why dichotomies, like how despite her modelesque gait, the manicured grip on your arm is unrelenting; like resolve and confrontation swathed in expensive, expensive silk as she haggles for the plumpest chicken in the wet market, so she’s definitely going to make you think of her.

BIO*

�� born to spanish parents and one older brother in madrid sometime in the 80s, narcisa grew up around her family restaurant, her papá’s famous salsa and the warm comfort of coming back to a hearty meal every night. yeah, so she’s a self-proclaimed fried chicken gourmet !

• and since young she’s into fashion, cutting out models from glamour magazines and keeping them sandwiched between books. at age 20, narcisa secures an internship position at a reputable fashion magazine as a journalist. she worked hard and fast and quickly rose through the ranks to be within the orbit of higher-ups.

• narcisa became a model herself after the director noticed her ‘really defined features’, but it became her go-to cash-grab job, really. jimmy choo handbags, clothes and cocaine all cost money, don’t they ! but not expensive restaurants; narcisa always ate at home.

• narcisa meets a guy. so it’s an acquaintance of a photographer who decidedly tags along at a party thrown by someone’s friend, alright? they have a few drinks, spend a night together... she gets pregnant and he hauled ass, and of course she can’t walk the runway with a baby bump !

• maybe narcisa doesn’t pretend the crumpled five dollar bill unearthed from her back pocket’s a lifesaver when she has to pay for the groceries because, damn it, milk powder’s just so damn expensive and they’ve even got that shit behind the counter. maybe this is how adulting feels like, narcisa thinks.

• so she begins reselling some of her old stash. it’s bad rep but she reasons its better than using it anyway. they’re well off for a moment, and just when narcisa thinks things are starting to look up again, she gets caught with a packet of E in her hands and jael’s taken away from her.

• not a second lapses without her thinking of her son. she rejoins the ranks of the entertainment industry but this time as a director... until an envelope reaches her desk, and she’s suddenly halfway across the world in a chillier country with pretty cafes and expensive, expensive boutiques. to powerhouse fashion agency kumiho — except it isn’t really what she thinks it is. 

• and then she signs the contract, because what else is there to do other than making enough money to buy back her son from whatever foster parents or system he’s trapped in ? make that her life mission. it’s not like she’s hurting anyone intentionally. she’s going to be the crowd pleaser, not crowd controller. just that this time, she’s shepherding hostages, and not hostesses. 

read an alternative version of narcisa’s / chaos’ bio here !

PERSONALITY*

+ deludedly optimistic even in dire situations, like there could be police waiting to bust in outside and she’ll still be waltzing around humming bella ciao. 

+ her energy’s infectious, or maybe it’s charisma or masterful manipulation... or that she’s just the pied piper amongst the hostages when they’re too frightened to do anything else. 

+ definitely a mood setter. is absolutely a party animal when she’s down for it. the happy drunk kind that’ll sling their arms around your shoulders even if she’s just known you for five minutes.

+ won’t take things lying down, will stick up for whoever’s being oppressed, bullied, discriminated because her mama didn’t raise a quitter !

- hotheaded and volatile when cornered, impulsive and irrational when desperate. she’ll claim that pablo escobar’s a distant cousin and she has leads in exchange for immunity or a reduced sentence. 

- tends to fixate on details for an extended period of time, like making sure the numbers in her bank account are always rounded off to the nearest thousand at all times. 

CONNECTIONS* ( do message me if interested, or we can plot something out anytime ! )

right off the bat I'd imagine narcisa being real close to the women of kumiho, maybe make a few alliances or simply have someone to enjoy a quality face mask with.

someone who she d e s p I s e s with a passion but has to take orders from / work with anyway in kumiho, like boy if she ain’t staring daggers in your back it’s bc she has a real one concealed in her hands.

it could be anyone, but they’re the apple of her eye. her achilles heel. if she’s a fruit then they’re her soft spot. it doesn’t have to be a romantic thing, but she cares. 

someone who works hand-in-hand with her crowd control tactics during a heist, preferably someone who’d let her do the talking. 

a confidante. it’ll be a mutual thing, the kinds where even the walls have their ears slashed off. i don’t like the kind of porn our hacker’s watching, or, do you think korean food tastes a bit lacking without cumin ? kind of exchange.

a fuck buddy. you’ll-scratch-her-back-and-she’ll-scratch-yours type deal. let them love on each other, but they’re not actually in love.

a romantic interest, but it’s probably gonna be short-lived anyway. 

she could definitely do with a leg-up in her stay in Korea bc she’s a foreigner, after all. could be an agent from a modelling agency who knows jackshit, a friend in the police force, a landlord, even the kindly student cashier in the convenience store, etc.. you see, she’s not taking advantage; she’s grateful.

––––––「  helloooOOOooo ( lmao again ) it’s rose and this is my new bby xiaosi !! he’s twenty-one and has worked for kumiho as a distraction for just over a year now. he honestly can come off as super shy and soft spoken but i promise this boy just wants everyone to be happy okay adsfgdg under the cut is more about him !  」

tw: drug abuse, reference to homophobia

                                                   B  A  C  K  G  R  O  U  N  D  –  !

xiaosi was born in shanghai, where his father was a successful trading exec, and he grew up bouncing between different prep schools across the uk and china.

he honestly preferred being at a boarding school than being at home, because home was where his siblings seemed to always look for their next opportunity to torment him. as a child, they quickly labeled him as gay ( and often some terms that are much more ... harsh ) and constantly bullied him for it. 

xiaosi started playing the violin at the age of three. originally, it was just from his parents determination to be kept in high regard amongst their elite peers by making all of their sons exceptional, but it quickly was clear that xiaosi was gifted with music.

desensitized to most of the world around him, his image as the nerd who kept his head down made it easy for him to later pick up many different habits without anyone even noticing; often leaving school under some pretense or another to get to the nearest city and do whatever ( or whoever ) he could get his hands on.

just like his sexuality when he was at home, xiaosi always denied his drug use and hid it from everyone around him. his family never questioned his behavior, and he rarely ever was close enough to his peers for any of them to suspect him.

xiaosi originally moved to seoul to attend a music conservatory in the city, and soon afterwards performed regularly at concerts and high class events to make some amount of his own money.

he first encountered the kumiho while playing an event almost two years ago; xiaosi glanced up from playing and noticed a few members moving covertly throughout the party, but none of the rich people they were stealing from were too distracted by each other and the music.

every so often, xiaosi would notice the same activity again –– and the kumiho noticed as well. a high up member of the group invited him to be an official distraction for them a few months later.

xiaosi barely hesitated before accepting the offer. he was so fed up with other rich people being just like his family, only caring about their reputation and appearance instead of others’ wellbeing, that he was happy to now be helping change that with the kumiho, even if he knows he plays just a small part in their operations. 

                                                 P  E  R  S  O  N  A  L  I  T  Y  –  ! 

even though he’s been in the kumiho for over a year now, xiaosi is still incredibly shy. he rarely shares any information about his life before joining or his family, and his happy whenever it goes without saying.

xiaosi honestly is just incredibly lonely ?? like he’s lived practically his entire life with no one caring about him that he’s practically been starved of any positive reinforcement or relationship in his life smh

he doesn’t always show it but he genuinely loves being a part of the kumiho. on top of loving that they take away from the rich and greedy and use it to actually help the less fortunate, the group itself is really the first time he’s had somewhere that he belongs

( xiao dejun, cismale, he/him, 21. ) — FENG XIAOSI, better known to the authorities as VIBRATO, has been working for the kumiho for around ONE YEAR as a DISTRACTION. rumor has it, they can be ADEPT & PERCEPTIVE but also TIMID & DISTRUSTING which is why resin caught within fingerprints, curtains shifting in late night breeze, & a gaze glued to marble floors makes me think of them. ( rose, she/her, 19, cst. )

( byun baekhyun, male, he/him, twenty-seven. ) — JEON IK, better known to the authorities as ICARUS, has been working for the kumiho for around FIVE YEARS as a SAFE CRACKER. rumor has it, they can be ADAPTIVE & INTREPID but also OBSTINATE & DEAF which is why the dial tone proceeding four telephone rings, a kitchen clock stuck at 15:00, two unpacked school lunchboxes and the sound of water in your ears makes you think of them. 

hi hello my loves i'm brie ( she/her, 20 ) and this is my babyyy jeon ik aka icarus... life is short, like this post and i’ll figure out a way for your muse and him to meet ✧・ﾟ:*

a proper bio is in the works and i don’t wanna give away too much but the gist is...

• jeon ik had a pretty rough childhood in america where he lost both parents in different ways • an unpremeditated gas explosion caused him to lose 85% of his hearing • he can still hear in muffled sounds, but for the most part has to wear a hearing aid (which he hates) and becomes a social recluse • eventually moves back to seoul with his sister, enrols in uni and takes a major in chemistry, hoping to join forensics • is rejected bc of his disability and red flags were uncovered in background check • jeon ik throws himself into gaming as an escape and gets pretty good at it • a reputable gaming company picks him up and so jeon ik games competitively while studying: a dream. gains a large cult following bc of his skills, impairment and good looks • is approached by the kumiho on the day he graduates (with honours!!!) bc they were interested in his chemistry knowledge for safecracking... seriously? • jeon ik accepts on a whim bc he knows his gaming career is likely short lived, and he needs a sustainable income to support himself and his sister • he’s ok with being a popular gamer and streamer simultaneously to divert attention from it all but he doesn’t care much for celebrity status tbh • sees nothing glamorous about blowing safes apart either, but he supposes it’s the adrenaline rush that gets his blood pumpin’ • has been running with the kumiho for 5 years ever since, is content with calling them his family

name: jeon ik alias: icarus / ikarus   age: 26 birthday: 23 october, 1992 gender: male orientation: bisexual currently in: seoul, south korea profession: streamer / professional gamer role: safecracker (in kumiho)

important! he only puts on his hearing aids during heists / events / streams, but he can read lips well. he’s ok with sign language tho, but i'll make his intentions clear through writing. otherwise he's thankful safecracking doesn’t require talking.

jeon ik likes... shooting games / cream-filled dorayakis / convenience stores / rainy days / solitude jeon ik dislikes... bathtubs / azuki bean dorayakis / food gone cold / afternoons / caffeine / speaking
