— NOW YOU SEE HIM.

FACE CLAIM — Guk Jangmun (Link to Gallery)  // Jung Daeun (Link to google images)
APPEARANCE — This monster  dwells in lively forestry as he himself is a green giant. In his true form Jangmun stands nearly 204 cms tall thus to avoid being easily detected he remains and blends in within the woods. At birth Jangmun's skin was slightly sky blue with a hint of white but as he drew and in the forest's evil and bad energy, the monster soon developed his current skin color—an ugly and weed-like green.  Not only was the shade of his pigmentation a good disguise,  the creature's whole left arm is sowed with vine, weed, and even bark which spread to his shoulders and upper body. His left arm even appeared to be longer due to all of the layers on it. Jangmun's face is literally a swirl of nothing but green sponge that can fool any eye as fungus/fungi. 
Unlike his unattractive Wendigo form, Jangmun possesses handsome features as human. He has silky, straight black hair, dark brown pupils, large and reliable hands, and a proud height of 185 cms. Along with his youth Jangmun looks his age and very healthy. Often he's cladded in simple black, tight clothes such as a long sleeve shirts, whole jeans, and tennis shoes with no socks on. If possible Jangmun would prefer no clothes as they limit his movements or distracts him. Say a stain on his shirt would make him want to get it off somehow, hence pulls him away from his tasks at hand. The lad also and is always seen with a belt wrapped around his waist, chained and tucked in his belt is his weapon of choice, a gun. 
 
— THIS IS HIM.

PERSONALITY
♚ Artful,  Astute, Calm, Puncutal, Self-Reliant, Tactful
♚ Asocial, Blunt, Deceitful, Predatory, Uncaring, Ungrateful

PERSONALITY — Jangmun is in general trouble. When clever, calm, and ill intention mixes it can easily endanger those nearby. His artful, skillful ability allows him to pick up and easily obtain new skills. Old skills, then, are enhanced. Jangmun is astute, he has the ability to accurately assess situations and/or people and turn it in his favor. Say he sees a couple fighting, the chances of him splitting (being tactful) or them splitting apart will be very beneficial for him. Afterall he prefers as much alone time with his target as possible. With this mind and skillset, Jangmun is then self-reliant. He solely does not rely on others for his next meal. In fact the idea doesn't even occur to him as it wasn't normal. To live and survive, his punctuality then kicks in. Every move, meal, and plan must all be fixed on time. Any small mistakes would only waste time and delay the next event.  And he hates being late to just about any and every thing. The lad cannot stand tardiness either, whether it was on his or someone else's part. (Ways he can split up a couple: he waits for them to go their own way first before following one into a less busy place. 2.) He turns into his Wendigo form and waits in the direction his target is heading toward. Then from a distant he tried to everything his direction, sometimes ripping purses or pieces of clothing off to get his victims heading his direction. 3.) He's no stranger to his good human looks, so for starters he tries to get the women's attention. Then he stare at them until they either become annoyed, paranoid, or interested in him. Then naturally he'd leave first, a tactic to see if the woman will follow him or if he needs to find a high spot to look forward to which route she will take.) 

To a certain extent Jangmun is asocial, but it's no surprise to a fellow that prefers the company of wildlife to human interaction. In fact to defend himself, Jangmun must keep his distance. However, when he does communicate and converse, he's blunt to the core. The lad has no social skills and does not necessarily listen to what others have to say as he simply do not care. Uncaring and ungrateful comes hand in hand and unfortunately for others Jangmun possess both traits. Due to him being self-reliant and believing every successful plan by far were  owed to his own effort, it evidently led him to believe it was truly all thanks to him that he's able to survive on his own for so long. Thus he's not at all grateful toward others.  Instead he single everyone out, triggering his predatory trait, to oppress and harm them.  He does it in the name of practice or for the certainty that he still hadn't been found out yet. At moments in time, this would expose his deceitful side. If he has to, the lad will mislead others for his own safety. 

TRIVIA 

♚ When he's in his monster form, his eyesight isn't the best. He relies heavily on sound and exagerated movements when that's the case. To make others move for him, Jangmun would fired shots in the woods which echos and becomes hard to track for his victims. 
♚ Due to his lack of power and strength, Jangmun naturally picked up a weapon of choice to make up for it. Therefore the gun.
♚ He carries a variety of guns, mainly commonly-used guns that he trades with.
♚ After he has traded them guns out to other parties, Jangmun then goes out to kill his victims with the same type. It then causes confusion between the authorities of who the real killer may be. So he gets away with a lot of his murder cases.
♚ His occupation as a trader started as he became rich with his victim's possessions. The handling and trading of guns started after he killed a gunslinger in the target's weapon shop (when he was 16, just shortly after his grandfather's passing).
♚ His favorite bone to pick flesh off at are the ribs. 
♚ He suffers from a condition where his left arm (only in human form) will go numb for no apparent reason (for seconds to hours at a time). In his true form, his left arm is heavily covered in plants and whatnot. So in human form, he somehow is burden with the weight though it is not visible.
♚ Because he is not charismatic, he tend to use force hence would result in his own injuries.
♚ Wildfire survivor. Because he lives in the woods, one time when a wildfire broke out it nearly killed him.

♚ His weapons: The gun locked to Jangmun's belt is a multi-barred pistol/handgun. Around the handle is where the chain was forced through then chained to his belt. The chain is only three feet long (long enough for Jangmun to hold it out, his arm fully stretched in front of him). As a gun bearer, Jangmun mastered the skills of making his own bullets and even an outerlayer for his guns (to hide its type of pistol, so basically a gun over another). Jangmun carries one or two extra guns, those of the same type he has been preparing to trade with. Example, he manages to obtain ten AK-47s. He carries one around in hope of getting his next meal. If he uses the AK-47, then on the same day he trades all 10 out to other traders, buyers, etc. If he doesn't use the guns, he keeps them hidden in the woods, each gun stocked just trees from one another.  Jangmun does this to avoid conflict with the authorities. Guns to Jangmun is like an arm and a leg, he cannot be without a gun.

Jangmun's Theme : Beautiful and Dangerous (Infinite Second Tour Teaser).. 

— HE IS NOT ALONE.

FAMILY — The only family Jangmun knew was his grandfather from his father side. During his upbringing, in a town setting with other Wendigos, he was told that his parents participated in the battle to  obtain the Ephemeral's crown and died there. His grandfather who has witnessed loss after loss wept for Jangmun's deceased father, yet indirectly encouraged Jangmun to follow his parent's footsteps. His grandfather last wish was to see Jangmun win and have their race rule over the great Ephemeral. 
However, at the age of 15 his grandfather came down with a terminal disease and even on his deathbed he still spoke to Jangmun of the crown. A year after the elder's death, Jangmun naturally sharpened his skills and prepared himself for the battles to come. The next four years would either be amazing or again disappointing for his race.

FRIENDS — Jang Hyunmi, basically the friend who got Jangmun into wanting to participate in the game. Jangmun knows Hyunmi is not fond of Wendigos, thus has been keeping his true form a secret from her. Knowing she is the mentor of Goblin representatives, he somehow got involved with knowing multiple goblins. Though Jangmun is not particularly the friendly type or one that puts up with another being for too long, somehow Hyunmi's personality is able to sway him. Hence they'd meet up on friendly terms.
Jung Yein, the teen Wendigo that would not leave Jangmun alone. Yein and Jangmun met in the forest where Jangmun supposedly "saved" her from werewolves when she accidentally climbed a sleeping Jangmun thinking he was a tree. Their relationship developed as Yein admired Jangmun's skills and tagged along with him. She participated in the battle and almost (or she did) spoiled Jangmun's identity to Hyunmi. Yein's appearance: She looks a lot like her human form, except around the eyes she has large, round dark circles hence looks like batman.. Yein's bare and raw skin is the color of  pinkish blue, to a certain degree her bones are also visible under her thin layer of skin; her skin is almost see-through as well. When they first met, Jangmun was 18, Yein 14. Yein is jealous of Jangmun and Jinah's relationship, she wanted Jangmun all to herself. 

ENEMIES — Jangmun does not necessarily hate a race. Though he can despise individuals, however he does not care enough to hate or like a whole race. Though the one participant he can't stand  is a member of the elves as he cannot understand their stradegy and logic (I'll leave who this elf is to you, when you get some elves participants :D). 

— INTERVIEWING THE OC.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT EPHEMERUS' FOUR YEARS RULING SYSTEM?
Four is better than three or five.

WHAT WAS YOUR PAST LIKE?
Lonely. But when you're a Wendigo who thirsts for flesh and bones, do you really expect company?

WHY DO YOU WANT TO JOIN THE BATTLE AND COMPETE FOR THE EPHEMERAL CROWN?
Just to see what's so special about it for some, like my parents, to put their lives on the line for. 


WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES?
For starters I assessed each scenrio carefully and thoroughly before making my first move. And with darkness, evil, and my forms are on my side I am confident of them as strengths. Though I have my strengths, my weaknesses kicks in randomly in all shapes and sizes. I tend to underestimate the capabilites of others which normally results in my own downfall. Also as I'm not physically strong for a Wendigo it can be use as either strength or weakness. Especially if one measures race on physical traits, because then it lowers the chance of him/her believing I'm anything but Human. 

WHAT ARE YOUR STRATEGIES IN THE BATTLE?
Great numbers is a given in games, so the best way to win is to play your enemy against one another to eliminate players (refers to the battle as a game thanks to Hyunmi). In a world where many races are constantly at war and hateful towards one another, it would be best to avoid conflict and have them battle it out first. Also if Wendigos has any plans of ruling, they must first learn from the victorious winners. What are the goblins doing and what did they do to win the last round? I plan to hide and disguise myself to observe which participants do not like each other first. Hate is a powerful emotion in all races, I will use their hatred to my advantage. (In other words, Jangmun is hate-free xD Hating is a tiring emotion)

♚ Jangmun's swirled-like-monster-face is basically a whirl suction. He gets his victims close enough before transforming (which can take up to two minutes as it can be a slow process depending on his condition at the time) in his Wendigo form then in his victim's head to block their airway. His arm of a branch aids him in locking down his victim from too much moving. his targets dry is only first priority for weaker beings (such as humans and elves). For werewolves and/or much stronger opponents, he must shoot and injured them first before any suction attempt.

— IM JINAH .
SNSD Yoona

AGE — 27
RACE — Human
CLASS — Archer
OCCUPATION — Bartender at a well-known Tavern (Maybe Sungjong's Tavern? xD)

STATS
STR — 12
DEX — 26
CON — 15
INT — 25
WIS —15
CHA — 10
TOTAL STATS — 103 out of 180

SUMMARY — Jinah was born into a family of servants, currently her parents serve the goblin King. Jinah however chose not to serve the current rulers and instead works in a tavern to serve each and every race. As a human that live among all sorts of dangerous creatures, Jinah learned how to keep herself safe and learned of each and every race strength and weaknesses. As a bartender she is also given the chances to eavesdrop and soon became comfortable in the presence of just about any race. Jinah is headstrong, daredevil, and brave in a way, sometimes she'd find herself stoppng bar fights from escalating (by aiming her bow and arrows forged by elves blacksmith to those pushing for a fight. Her weapon is kept under the counter she works at) and even putting herself in danger for the sake of keeping the peace. As she has seen how wild and capable each race are, Jinah is upfront about getting to know her customers. Jinah participated in the battle because she thought she could at least keep Jangmun safe as a human who knows a lot about others. Jinah seems perfect and flawless, but  she is afterall just a human who bears bow and arrows. If anything she's the one in danger even when she's the one initiating the threat. 


Jinah's Theme : Walk of Pride (Infinite 7 in 1 teaser).. 
 
— THIS IS LOVE.

FIRST MEETING — They first met when Jangmun came into the tavern in search for his next meal at the age of 18. He had his eyes on a female human while he sat at her counter. The lass's direct question caught his attention as she question his true form. At first Jinah thought Jangmun was a werewolf in disguise as he showed no elf ears, he was not small in terms of body frames like goblins, and though he appeared human there was always a chance that he wasn't. The tavern was also commonly used by werewolves. Though Jangmun did not confront Jinah right there and then, she came to discover his true form just days later. 

RELATIONSHIP — Jangmun's thirst for human blood and flesh is nonexistent around Jinah. She is a friend and someone he treasures more than anything. Their relationship started off rocky as Jangmun, who has no social skills, and Jinah who is exhausted from being part of too many social parties  could not meet eye-to-eye on many levels. Jangmun thought Jinah cared too much, and she believed he has no care at all for anyone. Their second meeting took place when Jangmun was in his Wendigo form, ready to devour a human toddler separated from his mother. Jangmun was in town as it was a holiday for the humans. During this period, Wendigos often disguise and party along the humans until they've separated their prey from friends and family. Such carnivals used to occur later in the evening, but as many lives were taken by Wendigos, these celebrations were moved to mornings.  Though the number of deaths decreased, people were still partying. And when people parties, some aren't fully aware of their surrounding. This made children and elders easier targets. After taking the toddler from his mother, Jangmun went down to an alleyway and was ready to eat his first meal of the day. Jinah who was passing by to get to work noticed and followed the lad. As she caught up to them, 
Jinah warned him to stay back with her bow and arrow ready to fire. Instead of fleeing, Jangmun transformed into his human form with his gun pointed at her. Jinah who recognized him from the bar backed down instead and talked Jangmun out of his meal. Jangmun had his first human-food meal ever through Jinah. Though it wasn't as bloody juicy and tasty as flesh, Jangmun was slightly fond of how much easier it was for him to stuff himself. Plus, it's not like he enjoys the hassle or takes pride in going through with the whole ordeal of hunting and killing own his meal. Slowly Jangmun moved closer to the town Jinah lived in and he would often come in for food. Naturally their bond grew and Jinah made the first move to ask him out. Jangmun was 20 then and Jinah just turned 24. Jangmun was new to this whole idea of dating but regarded it as also having a mating partner. Jangmun did and does not understand the expression of love, so he loved Jinah but was not  in love with her. 
In the end, Jinah felt the need to protect her love more than he did her. So when he told her he was going to partake in the battle, she eventually made up her mind to join as well. Jinah does not necesarily care about who would rule, she just wants to make sure he doesn't die.
 
— THE END.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS — I truly, really love you for this Mel xD Here's my pled to you, if Jangmun must die, please kill him in the most brutal way you possibly can! I want him tortured until his last breath! Ah and I sort of had to rush this so if I can think of anymore things to add, I'll add it using color coding and inform you then! <3

SCENE SUGGESTIONS — The scene where Jinah confronted a Wendigo Jangmun as explained above would be nice. It may even be a nice hook at the end to have them pointing their weapons at one another xD

PASSWORD — Royal Class~! Rangers that are basically hybrids in other words.  Other possible classes are voodoos (poison caster), taoist, shaolins xD

And here I was thinking no one would wanna become a wendigo. I should've worried about my beloved goblins instead XD

- OMG, he is so tall. Goblins would hate him for that reason alone XD Love the description about his appearance btw! Lovely~
- "Say he sees a couple fighting, the chances of him splitting (being tactful) or them splitting apart will be very beneficial for him" Does this mean he will turn up his charms and seduce the girl to break the couple up? XD
- Okay, I am sorry.. This is seriously my crack side acting up.. But I have the biggest temptation to write a scene where a character gives him glasses when he is in his monster form, to help him see better. HAHAHAA XD (i won't though, i shouldn't)
- Can you give details about the gun? Name? Or picture maybe? How many does he carry?
- Is the condition where his left arm goes numb for both his human and monster form? And how long will the numbness last?
- Woww, Hyunmi's charm must be really high to befriend him then XD Hahahahaha
- All wendigo hates elves? How did you guys all came up to that agreement? XD
- Oh nooo! I feel useddd!! Did he befriend Hyunmi because she was a previous winner??? Hahahaha
- OMG with such a brutal head killing action, you don't even need a gun! XD (but keep the gun, this is just a random side comment)
- I love how you're cmbining everything together already from other applicants. Bartending at Sungjong's tavern? *thumbs up*
- So are Jinah and Jangmun dating already? Their story is so cute thoughhh~ So it seems Jangmun has great self control over his appetite and what he eats, right?

Yesss, you know how the drill goes. You know appfics better than me anyway~ Hahahaha And thank you so muchh for applyinggg!! It was fun right?? Thank u for reading over other's app and referencing about it here <3
