APPEARANCE — Seho is human with a body build like a werewolf, unblemished skin and outstanding height like an elf. Precisely he stands 184 cm tall and is considered the tallest in his neighborhood. His natural Asian dark hair is always sticking up and out in all directions. The left side of his temple is always exposed where his bangs split, allowing some light to shine upon his manly, bushy black brows. Below them are his killer, double eye fold and milk chocolate pupils. Follow by a flawless nose bridge and fine, thin lips. Seho's most noticable physical features are his adam's apple, busy sideburns, and keen jawline. Despite his godly appearance, Seho screws himself over by wearing nonsense. His everyday outfit consist of an ugly long sleeve, yellow-brown loose shirt and dark brown harem pants. Ultimately he runs around in sandals with socks on. Fastened around his left index finger is a skyblue bracelet his parents gave to him since birth to differentiate him from his identical twin brother (the brothers wore them around a chain as necklaces as babies. His brother's ring is snow white). On very hot days, Seho protects his head and face with a straw hat.
PERSONALITY —
♚ Lazy, Detached, Dogmatic, Ruthless, Unpredictable, Secretive
PERSONALITY — Seho is the type that appears to be of noble blood, raised to be smart but distant. Being clever he's slick, he's able to learn quickly and mimics with little to no effort, thus from an outsider perspective Seho is highly skilled and intelligent. Every six months Seho lives on the road (in the forest), which has made him survival savvy. He's able to catch his own meal either through spearing or traps and he's fast at starting and making fire. Being on his own and learning to survive since his younger days, he's more mature than most his age. He's able to take care of himself and does not blame others for his own downfall. However, when he does blame others, he's very precise and accurate with where, when, and how they have wronged him. In a way he holds grudges. For example if an animal has wander into his trap and is caught, and a bypasser come by to set it loose or takes it where Seho has seen it happen, he'd follow that particular person or creature down until he gets what he has lost. Though he's a herdsman, Seho is good at tracking down non-human beings. Mainly because being in charged of protecting a herd of bull elephants has made him sharper when noticing possible danger. Ever since young, Seho has taught himself to read people and others before jumping to conclusion or assuming. He's astute in this way, with careful reading and examination he can turn the situation or person to his own advantage. Prime example, say he can tell that a man is a wife beater and alcoholic based off on the color of his skin (because he drinks a lot, he probably beats his wife as his knuckles are also bruised), the condition of his eyes, and shade of his cheeks. By knowing this, he can either gain something from the man or threaten the man with it (if the man threatened him first).
Distant and detached, Seho doesn't allow himself to become attached to someone emotionally. One reason being that he does not want to be responsible for the feelings and emotion of another (if he becomes attached to someone, it's natural for him/her to want some sort of contact with Seho. And if Seho doesn't follow through, the other will and may be upset by this). Seho is in a sense ruthless as well because of him being detached from another being. He rarely expresses any sign of pity or concern over anyone or a lost elephant. He lives in a world where he believes one should be able to take care of themselves if they're born capable. Unfortunately this includes animals as well as he would argue "Well if werewolves, who are animals, are capable than why is an elephant be any different?" Due to his ruthless side, he's also inclined to always speak the truth or what he believe to be fact when someone's wrong. In other words he has a tendency to correct others. This makes him unpredictable to a certain extent. There's time where he'd choose to remain quiet or randomly speak against something he doesn't think is correct/right. It's also hard to read him as some of his actions don't always match what he says. For example he'd preach about responsibility, but when an elephant goes missing, now he's not responsibile for the animal's whereabout and condition. Seho can be very secretive, he rarely lets the cat out of the bag unless someone mentions it or gives him the okay to reveal something.
Despite being good and great at nearly everything, Seho is lazy. He treasures peaceful naps and sleep more than anything. On a daily, he'd nap instead of keeping an eye out on the herd he's in charge of (which is why sometimes these male elephants disappear and Seho would have to track them down and find out what has happened to them). Normally Seho sleeps for ten hours and would nap for three to four on the same day. He's lazy to the point that he only eat one meal a day and mostly snack on fruits and nuts when it's nearby. His laziness also keeps him away from doing everything he had plan to do on that particular day. The only time Seho isn't lazy is when he has to track down someone or something.
TRIVIA—
♚ Bookworm - He loves books. During his free time (and when he's not sleeping), he would always have his nose in a book and relaxed somewhere out of plain sight to enjoy it. He loves to read up on history and mystery.
♚ Seho loves carrot juice. He can live off of them.
♚ Some find Seho funny (because of how picky he can be, he's great at pickering and putting others down) but he doesn't see it. He's always composed and serious, so in a comedy scene, his seriousness can be misunderstood as him trying too hard not to enjoy himself and others find it funny. How he can be so keen about staying serious.
♚ Hates attention.
♚ Hates being woken up during his sleep and nap. Can get cranky.
♚ Hates being or getting prank.
♚ Is afraid of cats.
♚ Loves the color blue.
♚ Being a herder, he has encountered all sorts of enemies and rivals, but Seho never hated a whole race because of a few individuals.
FAMILY — Seho was born into a family of five to farmer and elephant herder Song Jinwoon and Song Miran. He has an older brother, Song Sewoon (26), and an older identical twin Song Sehyun. Seho's family runs an elephant farm where they own about 120 acres of land. They raise, breed, sell, and slaughter the elephants at the farm. Because young adult males (aka bull elephants) are known to get kicked out or leave their herd, Seho was in charge of following and protecting the isolated group. He protects and looks after twelve bull elephants who stuck together after becoming outcast to the main group of elephants at the farm. Seho's job is for six months he has to look after each and every one of them outside of their property, then he'd lure them back to the farm and have them sold off as mature males ready to mate and find a group of their own. Sometimes these large mammals are slaughtered instead for their tusks, skin, and meat. For another six months, Seho's family would separate the new growing males on the verge of getting kicked out. Then Seho would repeat the cycle of watching out for them in the forest nearby.
FRIENDS — Though Seho isn't necessarily close to another being. He do consider Jinah a friend as he would visit Sungjong's tavern often and be serve by Jinah. At first Jinah mistook him for an elf until Seho showed her his very human ears. Seho also knows Biah and Hoya through mutual friends they have with Seho's father. Apparently they've been told that the couple loves farming very much and would love to visit their elephant farm one day.
ENEMIES — Seho's biggest enemy is himself. He hates wanting to get stuff done but never doing them because of his laziness. Other than himself, he does have a distaste toward Goblins. He have heard stories of them being all sorts of mayhem and mischief. Seho despise those type of beings.
— INTERVIEW WITH SEHO.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT EPHEMERUS' FOUR YEARS RULING SYSTEM?
I don't think much of it. It's neither horrible nor special. It must work, otherwise it wouldn't be a system.
WHAT WAS YOUR PAST LIKE?
-Sigh- Everyone and everything around me was always bigger. I could not measure to my household members' height nor the elephants and livestocks we own. But as I got taller and bigger, I became interested in my grandfather's scythe. He was a storyteller, he have told tales of him going against and defeating dragons fifty times his size. At a certain age I realized there's more to the scythe than it just being farming tools. I could protect myself and the herd with it. So every year, half of the year I'll travel with the herd, then on the other half I'll attend a private class that teaches humans to become assassins and martial artists. I was 17 then and though I joined late, I rose up in rank pretty fast. My first assignment was to assassinate a ex-convict who has become a leader of a gang. I was 19. I quit attending the class because it was requesting and requiring too much time. Plus I didn't want to kill just anyone. I only wanted to kill those who has wronged me.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO JOIN THE BATTLE AND COMPETE FOR THE EPHEMERAL CROWN?
For my brother and family. My parents had high hopes in Sehyun, before the incident they were supportive and even encouraged all three of us to join. Because then we can look after each other. However, after seeing how my brother have lost his identity after the accident, I felt I should participate for the both of us. It's something I should do for him.
WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES?
My laziness can get me killed. Even if I sense danger, if my body and mind won't move on their own will then I may sink into the hands of my enemies. As I am human, magic and strength can be the death of me. My strength is I'm good at reading people and planning ahead if I must.
WHAT ARE YOUR STRATEGIES IN THE BATTLE?
Survival should come first. That means getting used to the battle field and knowing good hiding and escape routes. To escape from a werewolf, a small place would be nice. Same goes to Wendigos when they're in their monster form. As for Elves, the ground is the best place when trying to fight, escape, or hide from them. They are tall and when they try to strike downward, they lose some of their strength and power thus making the attack weaker. Some even squat or get down on their knees to fight with Goblins. As for Goblins, they will most likely try to trick or lure you into some sort of trap, if they can't overpower you. My strategy is not to associate or speak with any goblins I come across. They can be very manipulative. However, my strategy is also to make sure to keep Wendigos at a distant. They love human flesh and it'd be bad to get caught by one of them.
FAMOUS LAST WORDS — Last applicant! WOO! I didn't think or want for Seho to have a love interest just because xD I feel like his character isn't capable of loving someone else, so there's really no need for a love interest.
SCENE SUGGESTIONS — Hm, I'll let you know if I think of anything interesting and out of the oridinary.
PASSWORD — Gosh I think I've listed and named every class I can think of in my other apps xD
