The Visuals
Faceclaim ♦ Lee KiHong
Back-up Faceclaim ♦ N/A

Measurements ♦ 182 cm || 66 kg

Style ♦ Mostly he dresses rather well, if only to keep up with Hyosung's appearance. His style is clean and sophisticated when he is teaching, wearing mostly collared or button up shirts with a jacket thrown over top during colder months. He wears either darkwash jeans or black pants when wearing lighter colored shirts but will wear khakis if wearing darker colors. He tends to wear a lot of blues, greens, and purples concerning colors because he thinks that he looks the best in those colors. Though he looks well put together when he teaches, when he is at home or alone with Hyosung after school, his fashion sense does almost a complete 180. He wears a lot of camo, cargo pants that he has from being in the military and hardly ever wears anything more than a white tank top. It has caught more than one unsuspecting female student by surprise when he is lounging in Hyosung's office after hours. He's never been the type to go for the more expensive things (though there was a time when he felt like he didn't match Hyosung's family style so he tried to take better care of his appearance until she told him he was fine the way he was comfortable so he immediately switched back) but rather goes for the things he thinks he looks best in. As for accesories, he has a matching ring to Hyosung (having given her one before going off for training) and still wears his dogtags all the time, unless he is taking a shower or sleeping. He has a simple banded watch that he wears on his right wrist. He also has 3 tattoos: 
"약속한" (Promise) that he has tattooed on his right pinky (matching Hyosung), the ROK symbol on his left shoulder, and the words άγἀπη and 사랑해 tattooed just above his heart (both meaning love/i love you in greek and korean respectively).

Appearance ♦ JongKi is tall with the muscular structure to match. Growing up in a military family as well as joining the military himself, it isn't any wonder why he is so fit. He keeps himself very healthy and thus his attributes fit that style. When he was in the military, he had to keep his hair short during training but once he rose to a high enough position, he grew it back out to what he had as a teenager, longer on the top and shorter on the sides, always spiked up in the front by copious amounts of hair gel. He has full lips and dark brown eyes that get a mischevious glint when he smirks, which is usually his expression when he isn't being professional. He has quite a few minor scars from training and his earlier clumsy days but no large scars because he was lucky enough to never get shot. His skin is slightly tanner than average as he enjoys spending time outside more than inside. His posture is rather formal, never slumping his shoulders when he stands, but when he relaxes, he usually has his arms folded across his chest and is leaning up against a wall or a piece of furniture. 
The Soul
Traits ♦ 
+ || Protective, Kind, Supportive, Polite
- || Has a habit of shouldering everything himself, Arrogant
? || Sarcastic, Hopeless Romantic, Short/Blunt

Personality ♦ 
If there is one way to describe Choi Jongki from the viewpoint of someone close to him, it is a sarcastic little . He is always smirking and teasing the people who are closest to him (Hyosung getting a lot of this). He protects those he loves without a second thought but he also loves to be the one to antagonize them. If there was one piece of advice to give to people who are meeting him for the first time, it is not to mess with his friends or Hyosung. Usually he is rather reserved but if you make a wrong move in that respect, he will turn on a dime and be one of the worst enemies you have ever encountered. He has the strength to be a leader but chooses to help from the sidelines instead of being in charge, mainly because he isn't a big fan of having the spotlight on him. He'd rather be on the front lines next to his friends than sitting in an office waiting for something to happen. This attitude is what got his company and leaders in the military to love him and move him up in rank. 

He can be a bit of a flirt, not usually overly or intentionally, but he flirts without realizing it sometimes because he is a generally nice person and enjoys making other people smile. He also can come off as slightly arrogant because he enjoys talking about himself and bragging about his achievements, mostly to try and encourage those who need that little push to reach their highest potential. When he is at work or with people he does not know well, Jongki is very well put together and shows the proper respect when it is needed. He is a hard worker and does all he can to get things done in the proper way. He is organized and can give orders in a direct and efficient manner as well as keeping the important information clear. He usually can keep a clear head (unless it comes to something with Hyosung) and can give advice when needed as well as listen with an open mind. His orders are given in short words and he makes sure that everyone understands what is going on before anything is done.

When you get deep enough into a relationship with him, he shows some of his weaker side. He is actually a rather nervous person when it comes to opening up his heart but he does have a sensitive side that he only shows to Hyosung at best. He is a bit of a hopeless romantic and doesn't like the fact that the two of them have to hide their relationship from her family but hopes that they won't have to some day. He is a very affectionate person with the girl he cares about and whenever they are together, he will touch her whether it is holding hands, an arm around the shoulder, cuddling or even having his head in her lap. Hyosung is the only person to have seen him break down from stress.

The Blacksmiths
Background ♦ 
JongKi was born the second son of a ranking officer in the Korean Air Force and a quiet librarian. His older brother, five years his elder, was a little irritated and pouty about having a younger brother when he was just born. The family lived on the military base with his father working as an officer and his mother being the head librarian of the military library. JongKi's childhood was rather normal and typical of a military family, rather strict upbringing but still lax enough that the children didn't feel pressured. His father spent as much time at home as he could and usually he spent most of his time in the library with his mother when he was very young. The relationship between him and his older brother was always a little strained but in their younger years they were pretty close. His home life helped him to have respect for others as well as humility and being able to work hard for something that you want. 

He was pretty good in school, better at science and math because of influence from his father while his brother was better at the more social aspects of school. When he was old enough, his father started to take him to some of his trainings with him that he was allowed to attend. He was immediately taken by what his father did and decided at a young age that this was what he wanted to do when he got older. He started to work harder in order to understand that job that came with working in the ROK and how he was going to be able to get in without his father's help to get in. When he was 13, he met Hyosung. He was immediately drawn to her and would every time she came to the base and found himself happy when she started showing up more and more often, ending up with them becoming best friends. [FOR MORE ON THIS SEE HYOSUNG'S RELATIONSHIP SECTION IN HER APPLICATION]. Given the difference he felt in their social statuses, he only worked harder, now not only to be viewed as able to get into the Air Force but also to feel like he was an acceptable partner for her. When the two of them turned 17, he confessed to her about his more than best friend feelings and the two of them entered a relationship behind her family's back. 

When he was 19, he was accepted into training in order to be a part of the ROK and couldn't be happier. Of course, his parents were thrilled but his older brother put him down at every turn. His older brother was already in school for law in order to become a judge advocate and sneered that his little brother's only goal was to follow after their father. This put him down for awhile and he decided to go to school while in training and major in Physics. He graduated in the upper portion of his class which was incredible considering he was also in the top of his class in his training. He wasn't really close to anyone besides his roommate and partner, Do Baekho. Before Hyosung graduated, there was a time when he was sent off into small battles that caused him to being having nightmares of being stuck in the cockpit or being shot down or losing Baekho. It caused him to become even more withdrawn and more focused on being able to protect the people around him. When he moved in with Hyosung, it felt as if a barrier on his mind had been lifted and she could take away his pain. He was able to move forward with her around and was ever more grateful for her being there. He maintained his job at the airforce but was moved to more of the weapons training on land than being a pilot, which he was estatic about. When Hyosung told him that she had been scouted to be a counselor at an academy, he was a bit confused at first and every day he had free time he would go and bring her lunch or go and talk to her, wanting to make sure this place wasn't taking advantage of her powers. He found himself finding a different place than he was used to but with the same feeling of belonging. When he was visiting one day, someone in the academy noticed that the mark he had always assumed was some sort of birthmark, was actually a zodiac mark. With a few tests, he was offered a place at the school as a physics teacher as well as on the team as the sniper. The academy particularly liked him because he was a human with a mark that didn't treat Ens any differently than how he would treat another human.

The Resume
Plotline ♦ Sharp
Species ♦ Human

Elaboration of Occupation ♦ Coming straight from the military, it didn't surprise him when he was chosen as the sniper of the team. He has the keen eyesight and patience needed for the occupation but he also likes the role because it allows him to protect everyone. He was one of the most accurate shooters in the military and holds many records at the local shooting range. When he isn't on missions, he works as a physics teacher for the academy and also is the advisor for the martial arts club, though sometimes he skips out on that duty to hang out with Hyosung in her office. 

Appointment ♦ When Hyosung told him that she was moving from the police force to go and work at an academy, it peaked his interest. He was the only one that knew about her special abilities before this and now that she was saying she had found a place that would help her to understand her powers better, he wanted to make sure that she wasn't heading straight into a trap. After going there a few times to bring her lunch, he found that he was rather drawn to the place. It was more of a push for Hyosung to bring him in to see if he fit the bill of what they were looking for for their team than her actually suggesting it to him. When it was pointed out that what he had always thought of as a birthmark was actually a Zodiac mark, he was tested further by the academy before being brought on the team.

Task ♦ #6281
Spy Name + Zodiac Mark ♦ Kratos + Ox
(
). JongKi's mark is located just above his collarbone on the right side of his chest. It isn't very big but looks generally like a birthmark of the symbol

Other Skills ♦ 
Stamina - Very high, from his days in the military as well as just generally being an active person. He enjoys being active so he was able to keep up his stamina even when he was out of the military and teaching at the academy.
Strength - Very high physically. He has made himself strong in order to protect himself and those he cares about from any harm. When he was younger, he felt threatened by the fact that people could hurt the ones he loves so he built up his strength through daily training. He has mid level emotional strength because he is easily thrown off by particular comments and finds it hard to come back from bad days. Mental strength is mid to high level as he is fairly intelligent but he can have his days of complete airheadedness and lose himself, especially when he is around Hyosung. 
Weaponry - He is extremely skilled in all types of sidearms and military guns, particularly sniper rifles and handguns as compared to machine guns. He has always had keen eyesight which makes looking through the scope of a gun easy for him to focus on. As for other sorts of weapons, he is skilled with a knife and rod but he would choose a gun over those two.
Accuracy - Incredibly accurate. He can shoot an empty can from over 100 yards away and hit it directly in the center. He trained this in order to let him take down his targets with minimal suffering on their part, of course if he believes they deserve more pain he can accurately miss as well. He has 20/10 eyesight in his right eye and 20/15 in his left eye, his right eye is the one that usually peers down the scope of a gun.
Pilot - Though not particularly useful at the academy, he did come out of the Korean Air Force and thus is a rather skilled pilot even if he isn't too keen on being in a cockpit because of how small it is. If he is needed to, he can fly almost any sort of aircraft he is needed to.
General Health - Very healthy. He keeps himself in top condition as best he can even though the time he used to spend working out is cut into with teaching and grading. He tends to endulge himself a lot more often than when he was in the military but he enjoys being healthy so he keeps himself in good shape.

The Interview
"Hi, introduce yourself?" Choi JongKi, reporting for duty...ahhh...-rubs back of neck and relaxes posture a bit- Sorry guess I'm still not used to being out of the military. I'm Choi JongKi, currently the physics teacher here at Johak Academy after my zodiac mark was discovered. 

"What do you feel of the crew in general?" There are a few rough spots that could use some ironing out but in general, I think we work rather well together. I feel like the younger ones could use more discipline than they are used to but Vague keeps me in check. 

"Who is the most likeable teammate?" Vague or Mapper. They are the two that I spend the most time with after all. Vague because she is around my age and we get along really well, considering we grew up together and our current relationship...-slight blush-. On the other hand, Mapper is my partner out in the field, it's more of a had to like that turned into true like after I got to trust her..though I guess liking and trusting are a bit different...

"Who is the least likeable teammate?" I'd have to say it's between Doubt and Pillar but for completely different reasons. -furrows eyebrows- I don't like the way Doubt treats the Ens of the group, I don't know what she has been through or anything much about her past but she needs to cool it with how she treats other people if she wants to actually learn about them. -fidgets uncomfortably and shifts his weight to his right foot while biting his lip- On the other hand...I don't like they way that Pillar affects me, it makes me uncomfortable and I don't like my personal life being under such scrutiny. 

"You had any specific goals?" Protect the people that are close to me and get the job done. There is no other goal considering...

"Last question! If you go to lunch, which food do you take in?" Usually leftovers that I've made the night before or whatever I have left over from cooking with Hyosung the night before. I always have milk candy stashed somewhere though... -grins childishly-
The Call
Scene requests ♦ I don't have any T_T sorry my brain is kinda haywire...I guess JongKi having nightmares?

Thoughts ♦ Sorry I made this application and Hyosung's so intertwined...it only worked if I did it that way but feel free to choose a different Sharp character if he doesn't fit what you are looking for :) Also sorry for it being so late T_T I thought I would be able to finish it earlier but school work got in the way
