face claim wen junhui
backup face HUANG ZITAO
appearance quite the tall fellow, at 180 cm, he struts his slender figure through the halls of blanc with a model-esque walk. many often mistake him for a girl due to his long, ebony hair and demure facial features, but with his fox-like eyes and grin, people often have to reconsider. as he's still somewhat growing, his body type is slightly getting bigger but only around his arms due to having to use them extensively while styling hair.
other varying from pictures, hunter's skin tone is slightly more tanned than a usual chinese guy, despite the trend being one having porcelain skin. he does wear makeup to cover his blemishes and lines his eyes with kohl liner only on the bottom of his eyes to make them stand out.
fashion sense
— hunter is a man's man but also wants to be considered a top notch hairstylist, thus he primarily wears black, fitting clothing. the only thing that spices up his wardrobe of black and white tees, leather jackets and skinny jeans are his collection of colorful flannels that he wears bothh as a top and as an accessory around his waist- as if the shirt was a makeshift apron.
— his sense of accessories, beyond his flannel shirts, are very minimal. he owns a silver watch and wears a long chain with a pendant given by his FATHER on this 18th birthday. though he doesn't wear them as much as he should, he has a variety of silver rings that he'll occasionally stack on top of one another to give him another layer of effortlessly cool chic.

elaboration
— meet hunter li: with long hair and a piercing gaze, hunter li is your 19 year old guy that acts older than he looks. in general, hunter is passionate about the art of hair (and sometimes make up) due to the big influence his father has over him, as he previously was a stylist and teacher before hunter was. through learning about styling he's become very organized in almost every aspect of the art and in life to the point of being obsessive over it, but he's often too stubborn to admit it. when people think of hunter they either come to the conclusion that he's very outgoing, very difficult to get along with or very obsessive of himself. regardless of what anyone thinks, hunter keeps his chin up and strives to aim for the goal of being the best of the best and will make friends along the way whether he wants to or not.
— what does the fox say?: first off, the fox doesn't make any noises for all he's concerned- maybe a yelp or two- but it's not much. thankfully, hunter is not a fox. however, this doesn't mean hunter is quiet; actually he's very talkative, for the best and worst of him. always taught to express himself and never hold back on what he believes in, hunter is the type to never back down in an argument and never let someone have the last word. for that, people admire him for his audacity and blunt tongue, but for the rest of the population that know him it can be quite annoying. as he is still young, though it shouldn't really be an excuse, hunter has no filter in wht he says which leads him into being in compromising situations where 10/10 he gets in trouble. he isn't afraid to curse someone out nor isn't afraid to be insensitive to others. he doesn't like to be censored especially when he knows he isn't the only one that feels that way. usually if he does cross the line with the things he's said he has some courtesy to retract back and apologize for such abrasive behavior. But overall you can never fail to have an interesting conversation with him and he'll never let a dull moment pass by with how colorful his language is and entertaining his body language is when he is talking.
— large and in charge: if it wasn't for the fact that jessica , krystal, and ethan were the boss, some people would probably mistake hunter for being someone in charge. part of it being he's a natural control freak and other part being that he can't stand disorganization, hunter is one that craves structure so much that if no one is going to do it, he'll make it himself and make it known that everyone should religously follow it as well. he's kinda that kid that always would volunteer to be the leader of team projects and would be on your back if you never gave him an update on where you are, primarily because he doesn't want to have that anxiety of having to finish everything himself. mostly due to his outgoing personality, he's never really had a hard time being able to lead others to success and help others if they have trouble, and feels the most comfortable when people listen to him. his approach may be strong, but he only means well, as his primary goal- like others- is just to see success in the horizon.
— STICK TO YOUR ROOTS: of course with the saying "there's no i in team" this doesn't mean he can't work well in groups. when he isn't a leader, it's just very strange to see him work cooperatively. in terms of the role of being a team player, he's the kid that's initially difficult to work with- due to his ego being so big you can't see anything else- but eventually when he gets in the hang of things, he's your biggest fan and helper. HE'S NOT TOTALLY NATIVE TO THE FACT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS FROM TIME TO TIME- ESPEICALLY WHEN PEOPLE ARE TRYNIG TO HIDE IT. HE'S ACTUALLY VERY OBSERVENT OF OTHERS, HALF JUDGING AND HALF NOT, AND ACTUALLY WILL BE WILLING TO HELP OTHERS WHEN THEY NEED IT WHETHER THEY WANT IT OR NOT. IF GIVEN THE CHANCE, HE'S THE KIND OF GUY TO GIVE YOU ADVICE THAT'S REAL AND STRAIGHT- WHETHER IT HURTS PEOPLE'S FEELINGS OR NOT. HE FIGURES THAT BEING REALISTIC AND HONEST IS BETTER THAN GIVING FALSE HOPE AND BEING IN DENIAL LONGER THAN ONE SHOULD BE.
but overall, hunter is kind of the real deal- the person most people are too afraid to be. he's very open about everything, from what he's eaten in the last 24 hours (most of it being alan's cooking, a couple slices of pizza from the shop down the street, and at least a cup of coffee) to when he pooped last (maybe like 3 hours ago), and loves himself a lot. maybe too much. yeah, too much, but its ok. his narcissism does get in the way of him noticing others sometimes, thus reflective surfaces should not be given to him at any point of the day, but he means well. its definitely guarenteed that what you see in him is definitely what you get.

present
— currently hunter resides in SAN FRANCISCO IN THE CHINATOWN DISTRICT, BETWEEN TWO CHINESE RESTAURANTS. living with his single father, his dad's cat (heebum) and best friend for a million and a half years in a fairly big studio appartment, life is easier since he lives with people he can stand to bear with for more than 12 hours each day. unfortunately, living with people means that everyone becomes too comfortable with each other, thus its typically up to hunter to be the one to act like a mother and clean up every mess that is found in the apartment, WITH ALAN BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR FEEDING EVERYONE, AND FRANK PAYS FOR THE RENT BECAUSE HE'S STILL KINDA WELL OFF FROM TEACHING COSMOTOLOGY FOR FOREVER AND A HALF.
HUNTER IS IN HIS LAST YEAR OF COSMOTOLOGY SCHOOL, THE SAME ONE HIS FATHER TAUGHT AT A COUPLE YEARS AGO, AND IS MAJORING IN HAIR STYLING. PREVIOUSLY, HE HAD ATTENDED THE SCHOOL WHENEVER HIS FATHER WOULD ALLOW HIM TO TAG ALONG SO HE'S PRETTY WELL KNOWN IN THE SCHOOL. HE DOESN'T REALLY HAVE ANY OTHER JOB EXPERIENCE AS HE'S NOT OFFICIALLY LICENSED YET, BUT HAS DABBLED IN THE PRACTICE ON PEOPLE THAT WERE WILLING TO LET HIM EXPERIMENT, AND USUALLY HIS RESULTS WERE VERY GOOD. HE OFTEN TAKES PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION (MOSTLY BUSES) BECAUSE HE HASN'T PASSED HIS DRIVERS TEST, WHICH IS EMBARRASSING AS HE'S ALMOST 20 YEARS OLD. OCCASIONALLY HIS FRIEND OR DAD WILL DRIVE HIM TO WORK, BUT THE STUBBORN MULE IN HIM WOULD RATHER TAKE OTHER ROUTES THAN BE CAUGHT DEAD NOT DRIVING.
A TYPICAL DAY IN THE LIFE OF HUNTER LI WOULD COMPRISE OF WAKING UP AROUND 7 AM, UNLESS IT WAS SUNDAY IN WHICH HE'LL GIVE HIMSELF AN EXTRA TWO HOURS, BEFORE FACING THE WORLD. ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS HE GETS TO CLASS AT AROUND 10 AM AND DOESN'T LEAVE THE CLASSROOM UNTIL 6 OR 7 PM AS THE PROGRAM DOUBLES AS A INSTITUTION AND A MINI SALON FOR THOSE THAT ARE WILLING TO LET UNLICENSED STUDENTS WORK ON THEIR HAIR FOR FREE. ON EVERY OTHER DAY, BUT SUNDAY, HE'LL HEAD INTO WORK AT AROUND THE SAME TIME (10-11 AM) AND GET READY TO BE GIVEN ANY ASSIGNMENT JESSICA OR ETHAN GIVES TO HIM, WHETHER IT'D BE COLOR CORRECTING MODELS HAIRS OR COMING UP WITH A HAIRSTYLE COLLECTION FOR THEIR NEW BRAND COMING UP. FOR WORK HE'LL LEAVE AT RANDOM TIMES OF THE DAY DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH HE IS NEEDED FOR ON THE DAY. AT NIGHT THE SCHEDULE WILL DEPEND ON IF HE'S MADE PLANS WITH FRIENDS OR HIS DAD, BUT TYPICALLY END UP WITH HIM WORKING ON HIS OVER COMPLICATED SKIN REGIMINE BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP. HIS SUNDAYS ARE LITERALLY DAYS OF PURE RELAXATION, SEEING AS HE'S BUSY 6 OUT OF THE 7 DAYS OF THE WEEK.

relationships
— FATHER • Li xiaofeng "frank" • eternally 21 (he's 40) • EX-cosmotology teacher, Professional bum • having a child when you basically are a child is one of the hardest things to overcome (besides coming to terms that you can't marry yourself). but frank li- with HIS good looks and hidden talent with makeup brushes and a pair of scissors- was able to raise Hunter into the self absorbed but talented boy he is now, all by himself of course. FRANK IS WHAT ALL COOL DADS SHOULD BE: LOVING AND FORGIVING BUT SASSY AND KINDa ANNOYING TO DEAL WITH. he's not one to ever shut up and is the first to say what's on his mind. sometimes he's a bit rude and has no manners, with his side eye game being teh strongest any girl or guy could compete with. but over everything, He deeply cares for his son since he was the only family figure hunter ever really had- with his own mother and grandparents walking out on the both of them- but its not like hunter ever really minded anyways. his dad had a cool job working with pretty girls and boys and let him stay up watching tv shows and eating candy. FOR 20 YEARS FRANK HAD TAUGHT THE TALENTLESS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE OTHERS LOOK PRETTY BUT AS HE GETS OLDER, HE GETS LAZIER, PREFERRING TO STAY ON THE COUCH THAN ON HIS FEET. but hunter is okay with that too, now that he's trying to work for blanc & eclare he'd rather work to support him and his father than vice versa. • infinity /10
— Big brother/bEST FRIEND/ROOMATE • kong huizhong "alan" (fc: zhang yixing) • 21 • culinary student • hunter thinks that if his dad been more careless at a younger age, he would probably have made a child similar to alan. as if they were seperated at birth, hunter and alan are alarmingly close despite having a two year age difference. first meeting in middle school, where the younger had stumbled upon the wrong classroom, alan was always there to guide him to the right place before giving him a reassuring smile and going back to his own class. their relationship continued from there as alan became hunter's surrogate older brother, always looking out for the younger as he would find himself in trouble for his sassy mouth, and the younger would reciprocate his love by giving alan a place to live as his parents returned to china to live a happier life there. the older male is very much the opposite of hunter: very kind, carefree and patient with a permanent sleepy face at all times of the day (occasiionally confused with being 'high' but lets not discuss his recreational use of such substances). he is very supportive of hunter and his dreams to be a great stylist like his dad, even going to the lengths of occasionally driving hunter to blanc prior to either going to school or work at the restaurant down the street from blanc. • 9 /10

[ ] barista — [ ] busboy / busgirl
[ ] fashion assistant — [X] other: hairstylist or personal therapist to lower your ego but boost his own
AVAILABLE START DATE
— "Well, I'm not gonna say I can start anytime because I have classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays so I'd prefer not to start then. Maybe the closest Thursday we have when you guys pick me I can start then?"
DAYS AVAILABLE TO WORK
[ ] sundays — [x] saturdays
[ ] mondays — [x] tuesdays
[ ] wednesdays — [x] thursdays
[x] fridays — [ ] no preference (we can assign you a schedule)
HOW DID YOU LEARN ABOUT BLANC & ECLARE?
— "First off, I'm from LA, so anything whispered about fashion stores and trends can be heard from miles away. Obviously everyone was talking about rumors that this was going to happen, and with Jessica being who she is, the anticipation and expectation bar was held high. Even my dad was talking about it and he doesn't usually care abotu anyone but himself (and our cat). So naturally, you guys had to have me here."
PREVIOUS WORK EXPERIENCE (IF ANY)
— "If working at your dad's old beauty school counts, I guess I have to mention that, right? Sometimes I was the one that had to wear the wig and let students cut my hair, other times I schooled them and showed them how to cut and style hair properly."
"But other than that I had a temporary shop in my studio loft home prior to applying here; my clients include my best friend, our cat, the auntie next door and some random classmates I knew of from my classes at university."
"But other than that I had a temporary shop in my studio loft home prior to applying here; my clients include my best friend, our cat, the auntie next door and some random classmates I knew of from my classes at university."
DESCRIBE YOUR WORK ETHIC
— "In terms of personal work ethic, I like to get things started immediately and work very hard with cleanliness and precision until it's in my standard of perfection, or the standard you guys believe is perfect as well. In terms of teamwork I'm very vocal and sometimes will take leadership if no one wants to. If things won't get done, I'll make them get done. Also I'd prefer to work in small groups or else I'd rather rip off my head because with too many people, the coordination becomes sloppy. I can't stand messes, really. That's not how hair should be (unless its the trend of the moment). But I'll cooperate if I have to, I guess."
DESCRIBE YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
—"My strengths are literally strength- being able to carry heavy things- and looking good. Also I'm told that I'm pretty creative and think out of the box. My weakness is my self, so if I'm complimenting myself or looking at the mirror for too long, tell me. Oh, because I'm very social and vocal I tend to get in trouble a lot due to a lack of filter, so sometimes I need to be reminded to think before I speak."
WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU?
—"My dad thinks I'm special, so I think that's a valid enough reason for you guys."
"Also, you need someone to fix your whole hairy situation, literally. Clothes, makeup and cute pastries may be the trend, but I don't see any bald models making any great fashion statements and movements, so someone has to deal with the hair, right?"
"Also, you need someone to fix your whole hairy situation, literally. Clothes, makeup and cute pastries may be the trend, but I don't see any bald models making any great fashion statements and movements, so someone has to deal with the hair, right?"
HAVE YOU EVER COMMITED A CRIME OR FELONY?
— "If you mean arrested for being too good looking counts, then no I haven't... yet."
WHY DO YOU WANT THIS JOB?
—"Dad left his job at the beauty school so we're going to be potentially broke if he continues to buy stuff for his League of Legends account."
ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH SURPRISES???? pls say yes
— "I guess I am- unless you're surprising me by popping out of dark corners, then no I'm not."
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PASTRY?
— "Anything with apples. Apple muffins, apple pie, apple turnovers, whatever."
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR???
— Red, despite wearing black and white 24/7
OUT OF CURIOUSITY, WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE IN THE ROYAL TRIO???
— "To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that Hunter loves himself, he'd have a pretty big crush on Krystal. While Jessica is great because Krystal's definitely perfect in my eyes because of her boyish air to herself and how carefree she can be."
FAVORITE STARBUCKS DRINK JUST IN CASE THERE'S AN EMERGENCY COFFEE BREAK
— A Venti iced green tea latte, sweetened, light on the ice.
CLOSING TIME; ending notes
— farewell, blanc & eclare. jessica bids you sweet sorrow.
— farewell, blanc & eclare. jessica bids you sweet sorrow.
comments / questions I literally wrote this in maybe a total of 5 to 10 hours, with long breaks in between, but overall i have no idea what this character is. i know he has a short personality but a long everything else but i'll work on it. i'm lazy haha. enjoy this little head.
scene requests
— the one where he plays with hair: when hunter is hired, he literally goes through each employee and takes the time to critique each and everyone's hairstyle because he's neurotic like that. he deems that jessica's hair needs to be redone within a month or two, ethan needs to stop dying his hair or else it'll get damaged for ever, and krystal's is the best of them all. he causally offers hair appointments to some of the staff and half of them look at him weirdly while the rest kinda coo at how cute and demanding he is.
— THE ONE WHERE he's forever alone but its ok: a scene between him and an applicant that's like deeply in love with someone and they talk about it and eventually get into a discussion on why he's single. he then explains how he's not really interested in anyone in himself bc #tooyoungtocare and that even if he was the only one single in the company he wouldn't care because it's more fun listening to people's drama than having his own problems with love.
