FACE CLAIM — Choi Seohee (

APPEARANCE — Don't let this
140 cm goblin fool you with her miniture, child-like form! Gyura in one able to pull off an innocent (picture above) and very y look (under "This is Her" right. So the make it does it for her xD). When she's under each disguise, others think she looks familiar but can't pin-point who she truly is (often only remembering after the fact that she was long gone). She has long, straight, dark hair that she has up majority of the time. The only time all of her hair is down is when she sleeps. Her pupils has a glint of red to it, so it gives her a wicked and abnormal look. This goblin is often dressed in comfortable, layered (front, back) clothes when she's not at work or home. Her wardrobe contains clothes that can easily get caught but at the same time protects her body by having that extra extra layer. Gyura loves fur as it keeps her warm if she has to sleep outside, therefore she wears furry jackets for outings. At home, Gyura is dressed in long one pieces (here). She hates the cold so whenever she gets the chance she'd cover up. 
 

— THIS IS HER.

<--SAME-PERSON-->

PERSONALITY

Sincere, Outgoing, Independent, Playful, Tactful/Problem Solver, Listener
♚ in/considerate
♚ Shameless, Irresponsible, Critical, Apathetic, Assertive/Prideful, Cunning

PERSONALITY — Believe it or not, Gyura is actually quite sincere/genuine when being friendly for a goblin. She has no trouble approaching another race and even challenges them (of course she don't intend to harm them, but a little playing and trolling can't hurt). This makes her playful and as she's also very outgoing, she has no trouble expressing herself to any one or any race so she tends to play her heart out. Due to her friendliness and jolly personality, others would think she's foolish or obnoxious, but it's all just for fun and games. If one takes away her friendliness, playfulness, and outgoing side she can be a very good listener and tacful. Most of her moves and actions are already thought out and she's constantly trying to problem solve for in-case scenerios. Yes, she may approach a wendigo but she's always prepared for the worst.

Gyura can be in and considerate in certain situations. If she doesn't know someone, she doesn't normally consider their feelings and emotions. If she knows and are close to them, then she tends to be on her best behavior or at least would be serious and careful around them. (However, this only applies to those she respects or knows their personality well enough to be good around them).

This child-like goblin can be very shameless to the point where she'd challenge another race or goblin in public. She's even more shameless when someone she's close to is with her, she'd openly tease or talk down to others in front of that individual. Due to this, she's also very irresponsible and inconsiderate. Responsibility is just not in her book, though others (friends and family) believe it's because of her young age. When something (responsiblity) is expected of her, this turns her off. In other words this makes her apathetic, where she can be very negative or shows no interest in someone or something, at times she'd even look and talk down to the one expecting of her. This then kicks in her critical side, allowing her to express disapproving comments, judgements, etc. Bottom line is Gyura is cunning and can be assertive to just about anyone.

TRIVIA 

♚ Gyura was gambling with a group of goblins when a fight broke out that one of the goblins was cheating. The verbal fight nearly got out of hand a werewolf sitting at another table got involved (the goblins started throwing things at each other and a werewolf was hit) until bartender Im Jinah at Lee Sungjong's tavern interupted them with her bow and arrow aimed at the goblin doing the accusing. The fight died down and Gyura was able to take every coin and gold that was out on the table when everyone were too busy fighting and stopped by Jinah. 
♚ Gyura loves snacking on apples. In fact she carries a bag of them across her shoulder and chest. She'd munch on them after cleaning them against her sleeves. 
♚ Her pet peeves are: individuals/creatures who take things too seriously, when someone expects something out or from her, and when someone uses the word 'um/hm' or 'like' too many times in ONE sentence. 
♚ Gyura doesn't have the heart to tame an animal. She'd rather have a mutual relationship with one instead of controlling it as its master. 
♚ Gyura's weapons are handmade explosives and flares. Around her waist is a waistband/holster that conceals her good-handful-size bombs (ranges from smoke [gray in color], fire [red], nuclear [black and bigger/heavier], and lightening [gold]) flares, lighter, and a brown flaregun. She gets the materials to make them by trading or purchasing the products to make it from gold. Hence having gold is very important to her.

♚ Gyura is able to outrun and escape Wendigos by lying to them that she's no good to eat, that she carry diseases that has killed Wendigos before, etc. 
 
Gyura's soundtrack: 
 
— SHE IS NOT ALONE.

FAMILY — Gyura has always been in and out of her family lives. Ever since a child, she's always been a wanderer who did not really rely on her parents and family support. Of course Gyura and her family acknowledge her as part of the family, but she just didn't want to live at home (one reason being her brother). Instead she stayed with an aunt and was raised in the city where all races mix. Gyura is none other than Nam Woohyun's troublemaking little sister. Growing up, she always thought her family favored Woohyun more but little did she know his plate was just as full as hers. Though Woohyun has attempt to care for and make Gyura happy, she just wasn't interested in making him happy. At first she saw it as a way to get back at her family, but later on she does it to keep his attention. Woohyun was an older brother who never gave up on Gyura, and will always put her well being before his and anyone else. After turning 15, and with the death of their aunt (who passed due to natural causes) Gyura moved back home. There she became closer to Woohyun and soon opened up to him. They begin playing pranks on one another and Gyura went to the extreme with a particular prank (she was 16). She joked that she was never apart of the family and when they weren't falling for her trick and playing along, she went to get her surname changed to her aunt's, who was a Go. Sadly she couldn't get her surname change back because after admitting to the system that she did it as a prank, they punished her by requiring that she lives as a Go for another decade before they can make any changes. And that they hoped she had learned her lesson. 
 
Her parents are proud goblins who take no shame in making or rather taking money. They also mine from time to time if words get out that a gold mine has been discovered and/or nearby. Her parents do not believe in the four year ruling system. They think the goblins should rule Ephemerus permanently as it enriches the land and races. Plus, who doesn't like money? Her parents are not aware of her wanting to join the battle, though Woohyun is. Gyura has asked that Woohyun kept her participation a secret from their parents as she doesn't want to hear it. She doesn't want them to encourage or discourage her from joining. After all it's her life, she should be able to make that decision without them interfering.
 Nam Woohyun, Elf, 26
When Woohyun participated in the last battle, it somewhat inspiried Gyura to train harder and joined as well. Among elves and certain creatures from other races she is known as Nam Woohyun's younger sister. However, if she participates and win, she'll like for others to refer to Woohyun as Go/Nam Gyura's older brother. Woohyun gifted Gyura a necklace and can be open to play music. (I hope you don't mind: here)
 Go Ron, Male, 5
Ron is not only Gyura's pet but her best friend. This beautiful husky was born into the arms of a rather reckless Gyura at the age of 15. Gyura was out in the forest, testing her new bombs when she heard growling and what sounded like a dog fight. Following the chaos, Gyura discovered an injured female husky being targeted by a large black werewolf. Gyura did not waste any time to hop in and saved the dog. After scaring the beat away, she rushed the dog to a nearby vet seeing that it could bleed out. Before the female dog died she gave birth to one puppy, Ron. Like Gyura, Ron has a strong personality. If he doesn't get things his way then he'd whine and "talk" over Gyura. However, Ron is always seen beside Gyura and the two are inseparable. Ron doesn't like Mozarella, he's jealous of the dragon when Gyura shows him too much love and attention (if Ron can talk, and was human he'd act like a jealous boyfriend). * Ron also replaced the void in Gyura's heart after the passing of her aunt. Also Gyura tends to introduce herself as "Ron's mom/mother"

FRIENDS
 Jang Hyunmi, Elf, 26
Hyunmi is like a big sister to Gyura. Gyura is most confident in talking back and down to Woohyun when Hyunmi is around. Though they'd end up ganging up on her. 
 
Song Aera & sheriff team. From the sheriff team Gyura hates it when the others get into an altercation. She hates being expected to choose sides so she tends to avoid the drama. She's pretty neutral with all of the girls. And she first joined the group as the messenger to other race's land when she was 18. She likes Aera as a team leader and respects the lass. 
 
Gyura loves Jang Dongwoo's company. Dongwoo is one of the few who Gyura can't bring herself to prank and misbehaves around. He's just too lovable, kind, and always right in Gyura's eyes. 
 
Gyura and Saengmin are same-age friends. The two are in touch with their creative and artistic side thus was how they first met. They're also a lot similiar in terms of personality so they got along great. Gyura often shows Saengin her bombs and if she have came up with any other creation. Saengmin and Woohyun are also both assassins, so Gyura learns a lot of agility skills through them. (Though she doesn't like to admit that they play a part in her ability to move quick and quietly)

ENEMIES — Rather than enemies, Gyura doesn't necessarily like werewolves because of what one had done to Ron's mother. Her strong dislike towards them lessen after she met her current love interest.

— INTERVIEWING THE OC.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT EPHEMERUS' FOUR YEARS RULING SYSTEM?
*coughs coughs* lame *coughs*. Sorry but you asked. (Reason behind it?) Well isn't it dumb to rack up some of the best of each race and have them kill each other off, just for a seat? Wait, let me rephrase that. It's dumb and lame to kill each other for a seat!  

WHAT WAS YOUR PAST LIKE?
Oh, it was whatever. Really. I grew up in a typical goblin home that couldn't keep their hands off of gold and wealth. And somehow I was driven to madness under their roof so I moved out. Well, maybe run away from home is more accurate. I wander for a while and picked up bomb and explosives through texts and books left behind by previous makers. You can say it all started because I couldn't stand the cold. I needed fire and I had to find something to keep me warm. My first bomb was a fire bomb, of course they were loud as heck but they kept me warm at night. At some point my mother got my aunt to come for me and to take me in. I was 13 and I was getting tired of the danger that lurks in the shadows. Finally after my aunt passed, I found Ron and travelled back home. Except my first stop wasn't home. You see I passed werewolf dens, forests notorious for wendigos, and even other goblins gold mine. After getting myself back home, I thought how fun it would be to learn of each land. To discover shortcuts, hiding spots, and much more. Each land was rich, whether it be food, materials for my bombs, or just more gold that were easier to get to. So I moved to the city that houses the King's palace at the age of 18 and I thought what other better way to learn of each land if I had the backup I needed and reasons to travel through as a messenger and town sheriff?

WHY DO YOU WANT TO JOIN THE BATTLE AND COMPETE FOR THE EPHEMERAL CROWN?
Don't get me wrong, me participating doesn't mean I don't think this whole system is wrong and flawed. I want to join because I want to see what world of a difference it'll make whether I lose or win. Also I want to try something new and thrilling and the battle just sounds like the right place to do both. 

WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES?
I'm at a point where I can put together a bomb in less than five minutes. It won't kill my enemy but it could hurt or distract them. I'm very good at keeping my cover, though if I do blow it I would have an escape plan ready. I'm not afraid of any race, not even those blood thirsty Wendigos or those goody two shoes Elves. My weaknesses are, I'm vulnerable when it comes to magic. I cannot physically and mentally break myself out of a spell I'm not familiar with. (She has seen other goblin and elves casts certain spells and learn how to break out of them). I'm also a range attacker, so I cannot engage in any short range attacks. I am weak and powerless against strengths like werewolves and wendigos, and some body builder humans. 

WHAT ARE YOUR STRATEGIES IN THE BATTLE?
In battles you have enemies, your team, and allies. My idea is to team up with the humans by bribing them. Humans are greedy and helpless when it comes to money. Elves are too smart and do not care for gold as they have a lot already. Wendigos and werewolves aren't exactly gold hungry. Humans can be very handy as resources and for set up for bait. Our chances of winning is high. I've learned a lot through my brother and Hyunmi of how the battle work.

— LEE JANGJUN.
EXO KIM jongin (kai) - I know Jangjun hasn't debut yet but I'm hoping it's him instead xD


AGE — 24
RACE — Goblin - Half werewolf
CLASS — Swordman
OCCUPATION — Giggalo

STATS
STR — 25
DEX — 17
CON — 22
INT — 15
WIS — 15
CHA — 23
TOTAL - 117

SUMMARYFearless and proud giggalo Jangjun hits on just about anything female that appears rich. He loves, loves money and would go to the extreme to get and have them. Jangjun is flirty and very manipulative, as well as tactful and inconsiderate. He's also very streetsmart and is a fast-learner. His beautiful yet dangerous personality allows him to win over just about any woman's heart so he can take from them. Jangjun was a goblin who always stayed and blended in with other race (he also had family issue), he didn't like that all goblins liked and wanted the same things as him.

At the age of 16, Jangjun was fooled by a she-wolf who led him deep into the forest as she promised him gold and rare treasures.  Far from everyone and a stranger in the woods, the she-wolf then attacked Jangjun and bit him. Though Jangjun was lucky to have escaped with his life when he slipped into a tree's hole made just right for his size, the she-wolf turned out to be a female alpha of an unknown pack. And if an alpha bite doesn't kill you, it turns you. She fled the scene when she noticed a wendigo watching from the trees. Jangjun who remained hidden felt the bite and suffered all night due to it. On the following morning, Jangjun woke up with his injuries gone. Vanished, as if nothing had happened. Though he couldn't understand how and why, he soon learned when the next full moon rose and he could feel the torture of his skin being stretch out and fur growing all over his body. 

Jangjun's new form were discovered by his younger brother, who immediately told their parents and close goblins. His parents disowned him after seeing how he couldn't control his emotions and temper as a black wolf. Afraid of the unknown, Jangjun tried to turn to anyone who could help him control himself. Unfortunately he encountered a wendigo who had just had his meal. The wendigo knew Jangjun was an interesting case, goblin & werewolf. So he tricked the desperate halfling into believing that he must turn to dark/black magic. However, Jangjun must sacrificed something of value whether it be trasure or a life. Jangjun returned home that night to search for something of value to him, but he was in such a hurry to get in and out without getting caught that he was completely clueless to the wendigo who have been following him. Once Jangjun took what he thought was good enough and left, the Wendigo came out and killed his family in their sleep. 

Without knowing this, they met back up in the forest where the wendigo promised to help Jangjun with dark magic if he keeps the monster well-fed and rich with food. Jangjun did not object to the idea and for three long, hard days and nights he drew in the evil energy in the forest and possessed black magic. For another year he kept the wendigo stuffed from beautiful, gulliable women and riched. Eventually he was able to control his transformation, though he couldn't see clearly (wasn't clear-headed, not necessarily that he had bad eye sight) and would attack random bypassers. Finally at 21, he wanted to return home and show his family and others that he was not a threat, and that his family were wrong for disowning him. In the same week he fled from the wendigo he called 'master' after discovering what the monster has done to his family. 

At 21, he returned to the town where he first roamed for the first 16 years of his life. In order to make a living, he soon picked up his old career as a giggalo. Because of his past, Jangjun grew less considerate and manipulative. He also practiced black and white magic as well as trained with a sword. When he swings a sword, it releases stress and he would often calm himself down (that way he wouldn't turn into a werewolf to unlease his anger).

* he's currently hiding from the Wendigo - though he looks and acts worry-free, the lad is afraid and cautious that the Wendigo may find him one day. Jangjun has seen the Wendigo around a few times and believes that wendigo is after him. 
* Jangjun is starting to lose his magical abilities as his wolf form isn't allowing him to cast spells. 
* Jangjun trained for the battle at first because he thought if he can win then he can get rid of the wendigo or keep himself protected from the monster. His reason change a little after he fell for Gyura.

Jangjun's soundtrack: "Drought"

 
 
— THIS IS LOVE.

FIRST MEETING — They first met when Gyura came into a tavern (Sora's tavern), the lass was beautifully dressed and dolled up. Though she was attractive, he couldn't stop eyeing and calculating the worth of all of the gold she was wearing. At first Jangjun thought he should head over and make a move on her, little did he know he was her target. 
 
Gyura & Aera's group got Jangjun surrounded in the tavern, they were there to arrest him after getting a report that he has been scamming women. When they took him, in cuffs, to the jailhouse, Gyura was in charged of interrogating him. Jangjun eventually fell for Gyura right there in then, she was stunning, well-spoken, and direct. The interrogation lasted for twenty minutes, most of it contains Jangjun flirtatious comments regarding Gyura before she got him to admit he did take from the women, but he claimed they willingly paid him for his time. He went on to reveal that he's a "legal" giggalo, so he had no need to scam as it was his job to be pay for his time.  

RELATIONSHIP — Gyura and Jangjun hit it off as friends. Jangjun's charisma was hard to resist and Gyura's overall strong personality was hard to miss. As they were from the same town, it was hard to miss each other when they're both active. Most of their meetings always kicks off after Gyura has called out an individual or she was in the middle of some challenge she has started. Gyura came to learn of Jangjun's other half under a full moon, the lad said he wanted to show her something (this was a little before they started dating). He showed her his other form and some of the dark magic he still possessed. Gyura was impressed by it but warned him to be careful as black magic was prohibited. Jangjun finds it cute when she looks out for him. Being flirty, Jangjun is also a romantic and he would initiate skinship between them. They started dating after a year of being friends. When Jangjun found out about Gyura joining the battle, he told her he has been training for it as well. One being the wendigo that is chasing him. This somewhat causes conflict for Gyura as she wanted Jangjun safe but at the same time she wants to win.
* After dating Gyura, Woohyun warns Jangjun to quit his career as a giggalo if he wish to be with Gyura. Jangjun started working for a deaf human blacksmith to make some money afterwards.  
 
 
 
— THE END.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS — Oh I hope you'll like Gyura xD ALSO I plan to add soundtracks for Gyura and Jangjun but I'll hold off on that for now heh heh.

SCENE SUGGESTIONS — Honestly I'm brain fried once again lol. Trying to finish everything before I go to sleep (it's almost 7 am and I've just got off work at 2 am so working on this right after a ten hour shift isn't helping xD) Girl I'll let you know if I do think of something (I will try to think of something) later on :D
Okie I thought of one xD The necklace with the song, maybe a scene where Gyura uses it to lure away her chasers/attackers.

PASSWORD — Gosh I have to think of another class? xD Hm, I'll say muron!

- Hah, 160 is actually still considered tall XD
- Goblins are all actually very friendly. It's just hard to differentiate who is genuine and who is working their charms to their advantage.
- Wonder how Ron would act with Bacon. I realize the pet names I come up with are all food.. XD
- "Gyura is most confident in talking back and down to Woohyun when Hyunmi is around. Though they'd end up ganging up on her. " LOLOLOLLL I can see this happening! No actually, Hyunmi would most probably defend Gyura.
- How did she pass forests notorious for wendigos? If she encountered one, it is unlikely for her to return alive.
- Who is Jangjun? The name is very similar to Jangmun actually. So even if i were to choose both, one would have to change its name. But we'll see..
- Oh man.. There are so many "one race turns into another race through this" plots going on i am starting to get confused myself. Okay.. That's okay.. It's because I didn't give explanations. Thanks you for more suggestions XD hahahaha

Yeah I feel my comments are seriously getting shorter and shorter.. You know the drill~ XD
