description :
They say patience is a virtue. Well, rael sure agrees with them (whoever 'they' are). His patient self has gotten him through most of the annoying and tough times he had to face. When things were looking bad on his end, he would still keep his cool and control. The people around him, in rael's opinion, have been doing a remarkable job in testing the limits of his patience, with the things they do and say. However, rael seems to always keep his anger and frustrations in check. Being easily fazed or panicked wasn't really his style. Patience is also one of the things that people find positive about him. Something that a lot of people think he lacks of. When someone has one of those annoying friends who are just asking for a kick in the , they would usually avoid or even leave that friend. rael on the other hand, is more tolerable of others than most people. He would be loyal to those who are close to him and tolerate their frustrating and ty selves (to an extent of course). All in all, Rael gives out this easy going vibe to those around him.
Another trait that people would notice if they got to know rael is his sloth like self. His has mastered the art of lazyness. It's not because he lacks stamina or is terminally ill. It's just that you better have a damn good reason for forcing him to part with his couch. If you do, then he'll most likely do it (or may not). Sometimes he's even to lazy to grab a bite to eat. Putting alot of effort into something he doesn't feel like to isn't really his cup of tea and everyone he knows acknowledged it. This trait of him is actually because his lack of motivation in well just about everything. rael doesn't really care about financial and materialstic things, so he wasn't really the type of person who would compete for a high paying job or things like that. He only has motivation for the things he loved and on the top of the list was music. rael's parents couldn't believe their eyes when he started learing the guitar. Sadly, those motivational push wasn't placed if fields that rael's parents had hoped for, like accounting or law.
Though a little anoyying, rael is actually quite a charming person. He has this approachable aura around him. One of his charms is his artistic side. If someone saw him playing his guitar and sing, they would see someone who was oozing with passion, creativity and talent. His years of practise and hardwork could be heard with his amazing playing and singing. Music's one of the rare things that rael had enough motivation to put his heart and all in to. Besides music, his other charm is the fact that he's quite a jokester and most times the mood maker. He loves to entertain those close to him with funny jokes and mischiveous pranks. Apparently funny people attract a lot of people (not that he's complaining). Another one of his charms that facinates people about him (well, according to him anyway) is his eccentric self. A lot of people laugh at his odd ways and compliment (maybe sarcastically) his unique thinking and ways of doing things. Whatever! rael doesn't really care about the labels people give. In fact he doesn't like labes at all! He doesn't care if people call him weird. Where's the fun in being just like everyone else?
Under all that easy going and joking exterior is a withdrawal person with trusting issues. Rael tends to keep his distance when letting people get to close to him. He wasn't always like this when he was younger. In fact he was the exact opposite; a child who easily trusted others. Later he learned what a fool he was for trusting others so easily. A betrayal by his close friend traumatized him and made him close up himself and be wary of those around him. He became very secretive and aloof when it came to getting to know the real him. You could have a conversation with him for two hours and would only know his name and gender. He would avert questions about himself and then change the subject to the person who was asking the question in the first place. If people pushed him too hard to open up quickly, rael would get his defenses up, which is his sharp tongue. He's afraid of people knowing too much about him and his emotions. No one has really seen his scared self, because it's all covered up under his jokes, pranks, and his easy going demeanor. But if you see and listen closely (and I mean really closely) to him playing guitar and sing, you would notice the frightened boy he really is.

background :
Rael was born in san francisco to a korean father and a chinese mother. he was the youngest of three and treated lovingly. well with the occasional slavery, "get me this...", "get me that...", "you're the youngest. so you should do it". all that maknae of the house things. it was sometimes irritating for rael, but it was okay. his sibilings always looked out for him and his parents were always caring.
Rael's childhood was filled with moving from place to place and making new friends. he lived in san francisco for a couple of years, then moved to shanghai, then seoul, and then to manhattan. He moved to the big apple to attend university at nyu. when he got his degree he felt he had made a home there and decided to just stay and get a job.
Rael's family consists of five people. His dentist father, james yang, is strict and discipline towards his kids, but is sometimes quite loving. His accountant mother, Celine Yang, cares a lot for her family. His lawyer older brother, henry yang, is responsible and intelligent. His architect older sister, dory yang, is independent and quirky.
they all have jobs with stable income, so when Rael voiced out his wants to be a musician it was shot down by his parents and doubted by his siblings. they tried to steer and push him to other occupations, something that could actually give rael a paycheck every month. Rael picked to be a market research analyst. it was something that he was actually okay with and something that settled with his family, but nothing could put out that need rael feels to perform his music in front of people.
Rael sometimes likes to perform at cafes or parks, just to get his fill of performing. but it's getting harder and harder for him to get a chance to perform. other aspects of his life are fighting for his time and energy. can he fulfill his dream and become a profesional musician? or does he have to give it up and just do as his family had told him?

lifestyle :
Rael's apartment is pretty decent and he has enough money for a drink or two every week, but that's thanks to the help of his parent's money. his parents give him a monthly allowance and in exchange he must stay at his office job as a market reserach analyst. the pay check he currently gets doesn't give him the luxury of three meals a day. if he quit his job and try to pursue music on his own, he might not be able to pay for a meal, let alone a roof over his head. though it's not his number one choice of occupation, he does try to give acceptable performance at work. at least it's an office job that he's quite good at. when he's not working, he likes to hang out with his friends and maybe perform a little here and there. he seriously wants to pursue a career in music, but is too afraid to try. not only for the unstable and uncertain pay, but also afraid of disappointing his family.

why did you decide to move here? : "it's actually a pretty nice place. it's affordable, not far from work, and has this wicked cafe downstairs. maybe i can get a discount or something since i'm a tenant. plus i can have some fun performing in the cafe"
describe a typical day in your life is : "on weekdays i usually drag myself through my morning routine, which is basically get up, try to look presentable, scrape for food in every inch of my place, then go to work. I don't really do much of anything after work. either i perform at the cafe if the manager lets me or just chill in my room. Weekends are usually filled with my friends dragging me to do something or go someplace with them. i miss my bed.."
say something funny : "where do animals go when their tail fall off? ... the retail store" *ba dum tsss*
"i don't even have a pla"
