— NOW YOU SEE HIM.

FACE CLAIM — Ahn Jiho (
Link to Gallery)  // Won Jongjin (Link to gallery)
APPEARANCE — 180 cm tall, pale, and elf-like. More than not Taekhwan often hides his face and nice build under loose, raggy, hoodie capes. This werewolf stay in his human form majority of the time (he doesn't like to get his hands dirty). In his human form, Taekwan wears light make up, to make him prettier and as he believes to protect his skin. It would hurt to get sunburn and then turn into a werewolf, which would likely stretches his skin. Normally under his grey, black, dark blue capes are tighter clothes. He adores short and long sleeves over his black tank tops, and tight jeans that are a little too short for him (jeans that he's too tall for so it will expose some of his skin between his feet and knees). Finally he completes his outfit with sneakers and a black (he hates gold, it hurts his eyes) watch on his left wrist. 
In his true form Taekhwan is a red-brown wolf with a large white spot around his tummy. On all fours he's at least 130 cm tall. Compare to most werewolves, Taekhwan is smaller despite his tall and strong human frame. This creature has golden eyes with a hint of red. In wolf form, he has a visible scar across his stomach for trying to go against an alpha male. The scar is near his abs in human form. 
 
— THIS IS HIM.

PERSONALITY
♚ Determined, Brave, Clever, Loyal, Versatile, Productive, Attentive
♚ Psychopathic, Obsess, Moody, Insincere/Sarcastic, Aloof, Foolish, Evil

PERSONALITY — Taekhwan is bottomline a psychopath, with some "good" traits. This sinister being is determined in all that he does and never backs down or up from any situation.  Even to the point where he's brave yet foolish. He's basically a jailbird if he's ever caught, but he hasn't yet. He hasn't been caught yet because his pack never enters another race's territory to cause a scene. If anything bad had to be done, it would be done on their own land. Taekhwan is clever and intelligent and those are dangerous traits to be mix with evil, this allows him to easily pick up and learn by using all of his senses once. Being clever Taekhwan often uses the fear and weaknesses of others to get what he wants or need (this does not include kidnapping to torture his enemy's love interest and family members. There's too many stories of these enemies coming to save and jump the bad guys. If he's going to kidnap someone, he makes sure to get rid of them first and foremost before he does anything else. He doesn't delay a killing unless it's someone or something he knows will not be saved by another). Despite his bad deeds this werewolf is productive and always on the go, whether it's plotting out future evil plans or keeping himself busy with bad things (torturing helpless animals, traitors, outcasts from other race), he never sits at home and do nothing. If anything he's far from being a couch potato. He is also attentive despite being aloof. He pays close and special attention to just about anything and everything even if it didn't matter to him in the end. Taekhwan's intelligence makes him versatile, if the upperhand has decided to make changes to a plan on the spot he doesn't question it and instead try to figure out its new motive (which comes to him pretty fast). Because he trust that the upperhand and authority must have another, better plan; thus he never questions it and just goes along with it. Taekhwan is very loyal, he doesn't talk bad of those he serves and definitely do not disobey them. 

Taekhwan is a psychopath, he's violent, aggressive, and bad in nature and loves it when others get hurt through or because of him. He even gets the thrill of making others suffer and takes no responsibility for it. Taekhwan can be very obsessive with materialistic creations or another creature, especially things or others that poses a challenge. For example the Crown or even his own master. Taekhwan has an obsession towards his masters, he believes he has every right to do whatever to make sure they live well as long as they favor him. His aggressive side tends to win everything in his favor. He can also be very moody. (He is bipolar.) One can never predict when he will next lash out, because randomly Taekhwan tends to think a lot and would argue with himself in his own mind. Most of his actions toward others are not sincere, especially if he doesn't serve them. Every move he makes, he expects something in return. And if he doesn't get something of value, he becomes violent and forces it from the other. Most of Taekhwan's actions and thought process can be seen as foolish. Many believes he's a fool for serving the pack that killed his biological pack. Others sees his insane loyalty in general as foolish.

TRIVIA

♚ Taekhwan used to be a trafficker. He'd trade or promise "protection" and/or an "eternal life" to humans so he can pass those humans to the wendigo they serve and let him feast till he's satisfied. Taekhwan's targets ranges from children to young adults. Most of his targets were through kidnapping, only very few are confronted and offer the deal. He only kidnaps when someone is alone or he knows they're outcasts. 
♚ Though his pack and he serves a Wendigo that practice dark magic, Taekhwan himself also serves the leader of all Wendigos. Since the goal is to make Wendigos the next winner, the Wendigo leader himself isn't against this movement the werewolves have started. 
♚ Taekhwan chews gum when he gets nervous or angry. It keeps him occupied and the gum flavor soothes him so it calms him down. He only chew grape flavor gum.
♚ Taekhwan is trying to create an incurable disease or poison that he can use in battle. (He's trying to make a colorless liquid that he can brush/paint over food, materials, etc) This poison is only poisonous if consumed or if it enters the body somehow. 
♚ As he's a scientist, he knows very well about the body, plants, elements, etc. He tends to speak with heavy scientific, advanced, formal terms because of this. 
♚ He started his career as a scientist ever since the age of 23. 16-22 he was a trafficker. 
♚ Taekhwan has been in a few relationships with werewolves and he's always the one to dump or ignore the women. Of course because of their temper, he rarely dates anymore and only have one night stand. 
Taekhwan has been told he has fathered a child but he hasn't met the child and claim it's not his. He claimed he cannot have children because he doesn't want nor like them. (He's in strong denial there)
♚ Taekhwan's big toe is longer than the rest of his toes. 
♚ Taekhwan is a great cook. He likes his food cook despite being Werewolf and surrounded by Wendigos. He's picky and does not like raw or insects (maggots) on his food. 
♚ It rarely shows but when Taekhwan gets super happy or excited, he claps like a seal. 
♚ The Wendigo has been Black Moon's master for nearly sixty years. At first he did not have any intention of sharing his magic as that was what kept the werewolves loyal to him. However, for Taekhwan who was raised to become Black Moon's leader after Sewook's death, had potential 
Despite his craziness, Taekhwan has not yet killed anyone important or in an area where he'll leave clues, so he has not been caught yet. 

♚ His weapon is a staff personally crafted by a wise and evil elf who has fallen to Changmin many years ago. The staff's top looks like a face with it's jaw dropped and pulled down, that's where the magic comes out from. Without the staff, Taekhwan cannot do magic. 

♚ Like every werewolf, Taekhwan was not born with the gift to cast magic. However, the Wendigo who casts black magic open up a way for Taekhwan
through the staff. He also trained under the evil elf on how to control and use his magic.
♚ Spells and what they can do:
♚ Coma - He can put someone in a coma but it's a once in a year spell. If he tries to cast it twice in the same year before he can recover, he can hurt and paralyzed himself.
♚ Manipulates blood - blood magic. This allows him to control blood movement within a body, clog veins, blood clots, stop blood flow and leaves others paralyzed. To use this spell Taekhwan must make sure his own fresh blood is on the staff, so he may have to cut his hand and hold the staff to cast the spell.
♚ Shapeshifting - he can transform into a pigeon by default. but to transform into something different or larger, he will have to bite it to death (or kill it somehow) and taste its blood before he can transform.
♚ Necrokinesis - he can revive the dead. If the dead does not have any kind of magic energy in them then he can revive as many as long as his own energy allows him to. If the one he tries to revive is more powerful than him in terms of magic and energy level then it can be deadly and dangerous. He can even die from it. Taekhwan has only brought back fallen werewolves due conflict. He doesn't just bring back anyone. (This is normally done in a dark, isolated cave. The dead body must be present for Taekhwan to call upon the lost soul and bring him/her back. When these beings are revived, they will come back in the state that left them dead. Except instead of dying, they'll recover.)
♚ Summon/Contact the dead - a risk Taekhwan takes when contacting the dead is that if the soul is strong enough they can take over his body and mind and uses him as a vessel. Contacting the dead is only necessary to find out information. Taekhwan would cast this spell to question the dead about the battle and its history.

Fox Rain - Taekhwan's Theme

— HE IS NOT ALONE

FAMILY — Family, other than his foster parent (Nari's father, Shin Sewook) and masters Taekhwan does not sees anyone else as family.  He also doesn't care for or accept the fact that he once belonged to another pack. And though he acknowledge Nari's as his step sister, he doesn't care for her well-being and existence. After the attack on his pack, Taekhwan was taken in by Black Moon and raised in place of Nari. He was given the best teachers in the pack though would often outsmart them even when he couldn't overpower them. His intelligence won him favors from his father, master, and teachers and soon, at the age of 12, he was introduced to dark magic. He mastered the basics: shapeshifting and blood magic at the age of 16. This is when he picked up his career as a trafficker for the wendigo Black Moon serves. During this time he was third in command. He was promoted to second in command after he killed off his youngest uncle (Sewook has two younger brothers) and faked his uncle's death. His uncle has gotten soft and wanted to stop serving the wendigo, this became a source of bad influnce to lower rank members, so Taekhwan's father promised to promote Taekhwan if he kill off the youngest and make it look like an accident.
 
The accident: Taekhwan's youngest uncle was in charged of the hunting party that night. Taekhwan asked to tag along and help out the small group. Though his uncle was in charge, Taekhwan convinced them he knew of a good hunting spot. He has discovered the spot in his pigeon form, it's what he called "The Pool of Darkness", it was a large body of water that no one truly knows how deep it is. Dragons has come to bathe and at times would drown in it. During the hunt, the group was frightened by a fire-breathing dragon and splited up. Taekhwan who got injured after taking a swing/brush by the dragon uses the moment to end his uncle life by manipulating his blood, while the older was trying to protect him from the dragon, Taekhwan paralyzed him and allowed the dragon's attack to take its course. Thinking it was an accident, the rest of the pack fled after seeing the commander eaten and torn in half. Days later Taekhwan was promoted.
 
At 18 Taekhwan was in charge of trafficking still and leading hunting parties, but he could not get comfortable with it. It required too much energy to feed the massive pack and he hated getting dirty. So he swap places with his middle uncle after getting the wendigo to approve of him focusing on dark magic. Soon he learned from an evil elf who was rival of his wendigo master. Thinking Taekhwan would be the elf's apprentice, he taught Taekhwan for four years. (Taekhwan also fooled the elf by telling him that Taekhwan was seeking revenge on the Wendigo. During this time Taekhwan carried the deceased elf's staff and lied that the passed was his master. Until Changmin, the Wendigo, killed him.) Until he discovered Taekhwan worked for the wendigo and tried to kill the lad. The elf eventually died and was killed off by the pack. Under the teachings of the elf, Taekhwan also learned about science, the spiritual side, and a little bit about medicine.
 
Taekhwan was raised and trained for the battle so his pack was very supportive of him participating in the battle. However, Taekhwan's job is to make sure the Wendigos win as long as he lives. Taekhwan has never truly come across an opponent he cannot win against so he thinks the battle will be a piece of cake. It also doesn't matter whether he lives or dies in the arena, he just wants to kill as many of his enemies as he can before he dies. His family wants the Wendigos to rule for the first and last time, no more four years system, no more battles, just Wendigos rule. 
 Shin Nari
This stepsister of Taekhwan is nothing but trouble. Her running away and living with another race is a shame to their pack. As children Taekhwan and Nari were quite close until she started acting out. While she was focuse on trying to escape, Taekhwan would train harder and harder. For a while Taekhwan tried to convince his pack that Nari was a traitor and a coward but no threat. His father took his words for it thus the searching for Nari soon stopped. Until they heard that she plans to participate in the battle. 

FRIENDS
Shim Changmin (Max of TVXQ) is the wendigo who uses dark magic and is the prime protector of Black Moon. Changmin is at least a hundred years old but possesses the looks and body of a man in his mid-20s. He and Taekhwan started out as master and student, but soon became friends as Taekhwan's intelligence became one of Changmin's weaknesses. Changmin loathed elves (though his human appearance was purely taken after one), but he was more afraid of Taekhwan turning the whole pack against him. Though Changmin was more powerful, he treated Taekhwan as equals once Taekhwan became a scientist. Sometimes, out of fear, Changmin would keep Taekhwan by his side so the other couldn't plot anything out of his sight. Taekhwan mistook this as a sign that Changmin admire and was very fond of him, he also believed Changmin truly favors him. 

ENEMIES — Certain werewolves, humans, elves, goblins. 

— INTERVIEWING THE OC.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT EPHEMERUS' FOUR YEARS RULING SYSTEM?
It's a dying if not yet dead system. It's made to keep cowards alive. If everyone is so worried and interested in who rules then why not go all out and go to war? Who's stopping us? 

WHAT WAS YOUR PAST LIKE?
High expectations. Pressured. Lonely. But who cares about my past. I'm here now. What matters is the present.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO JOIN THE BATTLE AND COMPETE FOR THE EPHEMERAL CROWN?
I wasn't made to want to join, I was made to join. Without my abilities, the Wendigos will never rule. I only partake in such childish games to give my master and his kind their time to rule. The Crown, it's time we return it to the rightful ruler. The Wendigos must rule, I will make sure of it. 

WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES?
I'm simply a dog that practice forbidden magic. What more could you ask for? 
Weakness. I've yet to discover my own. (He's useless without his magic wand)

WHAT ARE YOUR STRATEGIES IN THE BATTLE?
The thing with my kind is that they think with their paws and not with their heads. Idiots. I plan to manipulate my kind into indirectly protecting my allies, the Wendigos, by taking advantage of their strength. In other form, wipe out the opposing parties before narrowing it down to just Wendigos and Werewolves. Once the battle arrives, I would have fully recovered and abled to cast certain deadly spells.

— KO BOGYEOL.
I chose an actress, but if you prefer RV Wendy works too xD
AGE — 18
RACE — Werewolf
CLASS —

SUMMARY — Bogyeol is Class A stupid. (Her parents dropped her when she was a baby.) She's overly friendly yet stubborn, and very clumsy. Bogyeol had a decent childhood growing up, she was always surrounded by other werewolves though she couldn't tell if they liked her or were making fun of her. And she didn't bother to find out. She was just happy to have talked to them. Boygyeol is a member of the Wood Tree pack. A very small yet strong pack that lives (hid) deep in the woods. Though it's a defense mechanism that keeps them safe from the wild and other race, her pack is also hiding as their pack is often bully by other wolf groups. Mainly because they have never truly contribute to the race and has never had anyone good enough to particpate in the battle. Last time Wood Tree sent a participant was fifty years ago.

Bogyeol is an excellent tree climber as her pack kept watch from tree tops. Her favorite food are monkeys, squirrels, and koalas. Bogyeol has a dog pet, a Blue Nose Pitbull name "Yeollie"

Yeollie - 2 years old.
Bogyeol has two younger sisters who are twins. They are twelve. Her twin sisters often play pranks and jokes on her, they also laugh at her stupidity as well. However, one thing no one near her age can measure up to is her skills at handling guns, and impressive picture taking skills. Bogyeol has great eye sight and aim, she rarely misses her targets. Bogyeol picked up the gun from her father who was a big fun of automatics and weapons in general at age 12. She has been shooting and practicing since. 

Bogyeol wants to participate in the battle because she wants the werewolf to rule. Her and her family believe that if werewolf rule then their pack can come out of hiding, and if they know she's from Wood Tree then they'll be able to restore the faith that their kind has lost in the. 

If Boygyeol survived, she wants to travel certain places and takes photos.
She carries the camera in a small pouch around her waist. She has two guns, one around her waist (opposite of the camera) and another strapped around her thigh below her camera. 


Meet Him Among Them - Bogyeol's theme
 
— THIS IS LOVE.

FIRST MEETING — They met on the battle field. Bogyeol came charging in with guns blazing, trying to save Taekhwan from a wild creature (you choose). Little did she know he had the situation under control until she ruined it. By angering the dangerous, little creature, Bogyeol ended up getting saved by Taekhwan and afterwards he was clear about keeping distance. However, Bogyeol who wasn't used to being alone followed Taekhwan and the other wolves closely. 

RELATIONSHIP — No one would have guessed them being the same race would bring them together, romantically. At first Taekhwan was annoyed with Bogyeol, she talked too much and was too stupid for her own good. Taekhwan ended up babysitting Bogyeol as he thought it was best to keep her alive, so at least they'll have their numbers when going against their enemies. From the very beginning Taekhwan told Bogyeol he was not interested in the werewolves winning and ruling, because she had thought that every werewolf who were in the game wanted their kind to win, therefore they shouldn't stick together. Despite his bluntness towards her, she continued to stick around. Unlike his magic, which he has to recover from to use, Bogyeol's gun didn't require a lot of energy and work. So Bogyeol would bring in kills for them to eat and would "guard" Taekhwan as he rests. Their relationship grew as they had each other backs and though Bogyeol was useless when it came to planning, she was at least good at keeping Taekhwan company. At a certain point, Bogyeol begin taking pictures of Taekhwan whether it was from afar, while she was following him from behind, while he sleeps or when he's busy planning and working. Taekhwan made the move on a crying and terrified Bogyeol when she thought he was going to die, after they got into a bad confrontation with the enemies. 
 
 
 
— THE END.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS — Finally I is done! xD I had to squeeze out my brain juice for this app (gotta make it memorable somehow xD) so I hope you have fun reading Taekhwan. I hope he's got that sort of psycho-path you were looking for xD If you want, he's not exactly cold, he's can be more of a goodball (if he's chosen of course). Fighting to everyone else and to you! Can't wait to see which characters you choose!

SCENE SUGGESTIONS — A scene where the werewolves made a kill and was eating it raw, while Taekhwan make a fire and roasted his piece over it and didn't care for their judgemental gazes. xD
- Bogyeol takes a picture of Taekhwan cooking for them. He came close to burning her camera.
- Bogyeol accidentally take out her camera instead and flashed her enemy
- Someone talks ill of Taekhwan and he sneezes. 
- Taekhwan chews gum while talking to someone, it pisses the other off
- A scene where Taekhwan was thinking about washing himself in a large body of water. He heard movements behind him and know it wasn't Bogyeol as she have went off to hunt. So knowing he's being watched, Taekhwan stripped himself down to his underwear. He thought it would scare the spy away. 

PASSWORD — Hm, another class... LOTUS! Healers~!

Ah, I though I had forbidden you :p

- First of all, hate to say this, but werewolves can't do magic. And seeing how he has so many connections to all evil wendigos and elves and being a psyhcopath, how is he not caught yet? Why is he so valuable to the wendigos that they are willing to sacrifice something valuable to themselves in order to let him attain black magic? Hmm.. Personally I would prefer if you chose another class because the idea of giving magic to others does not sit with me so well. Plus, it could then be used to any other race which make it less special for the elves and some goblins to posses. Unless you can come up with a reason that will entirely blow my mind.
- Who are his masters?
- Could you provide some alternative classes for Wendy (Yeah i prefer Wendy) that are more werewolf-ish. Meaning, something short range that is heavy on power.
- She was dropped when she was a baby though! HAHAHAHAA
- So Wendy doesn't know Taekhwan wants the wendigos to rule?

Okay that's it for this one. Quite a big change that needs to be made... But.... I'm sure you can hink of smtg XD Hahaha thank you againn

I like Taekhwan e u e Especially how he can get away with everything despite doing all sorts of crazy nonsense xD His obsessive loyalty kinda reminds me of Hitler's loyalty somehow. The skills are really interesting and YES, A WENDIGO HELPER!! Let's dominate the world together! HAHAHA
