He has brown-coloured eyes and skin that is quite pale for a guy. His collarbones are sharply visible, and he has a slim built which is enhanced by his height. Long and graceful limbs are blessed upon him, completed with slender fingers and small feet. Seungwoo and his sister both has a tattoo in memory of their mother, a white lily in the inside of tbe wrist. 

 
 

⟪ PERSONALITY ⟫

Positive traits ⋮ Ambitious, caring (even though he doesn't show it), loyal, determined, intelligent, honest
Neutral traits ⋮ Mysterious, independent 
Negative traits ⋮ Sarcastic, foul-mouthed, hot-tempered, closed-off, distrustful, stubborn, unpredictable

Seungwoo is a person who has mastered the craft of hiding his emotions behind a carefully-constructed mask. He believes that people cannot be trusted, nor do they show their true selves to others. However, even though he goes strictly by the phrase 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth', most of the time he says what he has on mind, but he doesn't bother filtering or sugarcoating his words so others find him quite offensive. And frankly? He doesn't care.

Due to certain events in his childhood, he suffers from extreme mood swings and bipolar disorder that he himself is not aware of. Seungwoo is also hot-tempered, which causes him to lash out at those close to him when fustration is boiling within him. He refuses to explain anything or hold his temper back at the heat of the moment, but would later apologse (if he's in the wrong) or at least try to make amends secretly and privately. 

Even though his words aren't filtered, Seungwoo is actually a caring person who gets very concerned with someone's well-being and would help  them until the end, even if it's something major and requires moving the world. He acts like a mother hen to those close to him, letting bits of his true personality shine through his mask to those whom he truly trusts, yet he never lowers his guard unless he's around his sister or Yixing. 

Seungwoo also aims for extremely high goals. He believes that nothing is impossible, and always strives for the best until work takes a toll on his health. While he is good at taking care of others, the same cannot be said for his own self. His determination cannot easily be quelched unless someone gives him earth-shattering advice, or when emotions get into his way. 

Because he's such an emotional person, sometimes his emotions control his actions and gets the better of him, so he loses quite a few people due to his harsh words and secretive nature. However, only those who truly knows him and those who he lets into his inner circle knows how good of a person he really is. 

⟪ BACKGROUND ⟫

Seungwoo was born in Gwangju, South Korea, but was raised in Hong Kong by a single mother due to his father's gambling issues. He however had an exceptionally well childhood, as his mother is the heiress to a small fortune. Unfortunately, his mother started having hallucinations and fits somewhere around his sixteenth birthday, and he had to take care of his younger sister who is afraid of their only parent.

From a young age, he shows intelligence that is unusual for his age as well as a stubborn nature. Seungwoo is encouraged by his mother to participate in various competitions in chess, hence nurturing his logical thinking. He also attains good academic results at school, but doesn't try his best and is often chided for doing so. Instead, Seungwoo spends his days writing, reading and questioning things, his curiousity often taken the better of him. Because of this, he speaks and asks a lot of questions, and unfortunately he endured ten years of school of being scolded for talking cheekily or out of turn. Due to this, Seungwoo becomes withdrawn and fustrated on a daily basis.

His mother travels frequently for business, and hence she brings along her children, thus the two of them never stay in a place long enough for anyone to get close to them. Seungwoo has travelled to many different countries and cities, experiencing various different cultures, and so developed a mature way of thinking that aids him when their mother is unable to take care of them. 

Seungwoo started having extreme mood swings when he is ten, due to unfair treatment at school as well as continuous betrayal by his so-called friends. It becomes so severe that his mother started getting scared of him, and so he feels lonely and abandoned. Luckily, his sister never minds, and she stayed close to him, and it was thanks to her that he managed to drag himself back from the brink of insanity.

Around the age of fourteen, their father suddenly appeared and invited his mother to live with him again, despite him housing a concubine under his roof. His mother, torn between the decision of taking care of her children and her pride, finally decides to accept their father's offer and went back to Korea. 

Unfortunately, their father started abusing her, causing her endless periods of mental and physical pain. The concubine, who claimed that their father loves her more, jeers and looks down on their mother. After a few months of this, Seungwoo has had enough and lost control of himself and his anger, setting off a fire in the house's balcony, and fled with his mother and sister. 

With the help of his aunt, the family moved to the States in order to escape from the father as far as possible. When he turned sixteen, an eligible age for working, he dropped out of school in order to take up part-time jobs as well as teaching sessions to earn money for the family and to survive. His sister helped him by taking care of their mother, who started to have hallucinations and screaming fits in which she throws and destroy things. 

Despite him working earnestly, Seungwoo somehow found time amongst everything and managed to get into college, studying mathematics to become a math teacher initially but poured his efforts into language. Upon graduation, he went back home and found his house in chaos, his sister lying unconscious and in a pool of blood which thankfully wasn't hers, and found out their mother had committed suicide due to depression. 

The siblings decide to move back to Korea, where Seungwoo takes up a teaching job and his sister continuing to study. He meets Zhang Yixing there, a former memory lingering at the back of his mind from his days in Hong Kong now coming back in full blast in the form of a dance club coordinator and PE teacher at his school. The two maintained a polite and awkward distance, unfortunately having neighbouring seats, until Yixing spills coffee over him accidentally one day and offers to buy another, the two then starting to develop a relationship, which soon turns into something more.

⟪ OCCUPATION ⟫

Seungwoo's an English teacher at a co-ed high school, but secretly takes up translator offers as well as is currently writing his own book. 

⟪ LIKES ⟫

  • Music. It is one of the only things that keep him sane along with several cups of coffee in the morning, and he adores hip hop and R&B especially. Sometimes he dreams of composing his own songs, but pushed the idea to the back of his mind due to lack of time and financial issues. 
  • Silence. Seungwoo is extremely sensitive to noise, and he snaps easily when something or someone noisy is around. He enjoys silence and solidarity, and sometimes takes walks beside the sea or outside of the city to calm himself. 
  • Coffee. The one thing he cannot live without is the sluggish mud-like substance that is served at his school. He demands high-quality coffee though, and goes out for secret dates with Yixing to Starbucks because even though it costs him a fortune it's worth it. 
  • Sleep. Napping is one of his luxuries and he does so whenever he isn't between marking papers or teaching. 
  • Cats. He has a pet at the apartment he and his sister shares, whom he insists upon calling Moonlight. Seungwoo thinks cats are mysterious and independent creatures, so the both of them won't have to constantly look after it.
  • Singing. One of his few joys and a way to express himself indirectly, he often sings to de-stress himself and has a really good voice. 

⟪ DISLIKES ⟫

  • Children. This seems absurd, but in contrast with Yixing, he absolutely loathes the little creatures running around on two fat legs and screaming whenever they feel like it. He has an extreme dislike for children, which is a reason he steers clear of parks and playgrounds whenever they're dating. 
  • Noise. Seungwoo has extremely sensitive (and I repeat, extremely sensitive) hearing, so he hates noises with a passion and wear headphones nearly 24/7. 
  • Liars. He tries to be as truthful as possible to show how he would like to be treated, but liars linger in every corner of his life and frankly he hates them. Seungwoo never trust someone who had lied to him once, and never will again. 

⟪ HABITS ⟫

  • Face-palming whenever Yixing blanks out and asks the exact same thing a second later.
  • Scratching the back of his neck or his tattoo when he's fustrated. 
  • Grinding his teeth secretly when someone disagrees with him in a rude way. 
  • Fighting with his sister over stupid things because who doesn't. 
  • Flexing his fingers when his hands gets tired from marking or writing comments on students' assignments. 
  • Singing when he thinks no one is around, but Yixing secretly hears everything. 

⟪ OTHER TRIVIA ⟫

  • He loses track of time when he's really concentrated on doing something, and pulls all-nighters without any sign of fatigue in the morning.
  • He has a coffee mug with ' you' written on it in a large font from his sister.
  • He at dancing so much Yixing gave up teaching him. Seungwoo's style of dancing is described as a 'bear wallowing through mud' by his boyfriend.
  • Him and Yixing converse in either Chinese and Korean, and switches between the two unconsciously.
  • He swears in other languages around his students so no one can report him or accuse him of cussing. 
  • He hates mornings. Really. 
  • His Chinese name is Li Fenghua(Mandarin spelling)/Lee Fungwah(Cantonese spelling), meaning 'maple bloom'. His English name is James Li. 
  • His pen name is Alastair Runegard.
  • He plays the piano but his skills are getting rustier due to lack of practiice. 
  • He can't really hold his liquor well and ends up talking a lot about himself, also saying things he shouldn't be about others, displays open affection with Yixing when he's dead drunk. 
  • He's off-limits to his sister's room, even though Suhyo sneaks into his to steal borrow stuff. 
 

⟪ FAMILY ⟫

Sister, Lee Suhyo ⋮ 20 ⋮ outgoing, friendly, sarcastic and hot-tempered ⋮ one of the people he's truly close with, Seungwoo and his sister has a special relationship as they had to survive on their own when Suhyo's still pretty young, and he takes care of her. The two constantly argues over trivial and stupid things just for the sake of it, but when tough times hit, the siblings are always for each other and they pull through every obstacle that comes flying at them in life. 

Mother, Chan Liwah/Chen Lihua ⋮ 50 ⋮ caring, loving, patient, strict ⋮ the siblings' mother who takes care of them when they were little. Seungwoo's memories of her are the clearest because Suhyo was too young to remember certain things. They had a close relationship before her mental illness hit, and he still carries the guilt of not being in her last moments on earth to this very day. 

Father, Lee Sungman ⋮ 58 ⋮ greedy, irresponsible, selfish, abusive ⋮ Seungwoo absolutely loathes his father and would murder him if it was legal by law. Because Seungwoo sees everything their mother does for them, he hates the man who abandoned his wife for a concubine. Their father never bothered to know his children, so none of the siblings formed a relationship or attachment to him. 

⟪ FRIENDS ⟫

Best friend, Han Sanghyuk ⋮ 23 ⋮ quite outgoing, good-natured, tolerant ⋮ Sanghyuk is someone who can chatter on for hours, especially since Seungwoo is so quiet. He often wonders how he can tolerate such a noisy person, but that disappears when they meet up and talk. They met when Sanghyuk was a student-teacher under his guidance, and Seungwoo considers the other to be his younger brother more than a friend. 

Best friend, Kim Wonshik ⋮ 24 ⋮ sensitive, quiet, good-natured ⋮ Wonshik has a similar personality as Seungwoo's, so the two of them clicked when he first met him at Suhyo's campus, where Wonshik was picking up his sister from school as well. Because of Wonshik's occupation as a musician, Seungwoo is naturally curious and often drops by his studio to hang out. Seungwoo considers Wonshik to be a pillar; someone to lean onto when troubles arose, troubles that he can't talk to his sister with. 

Pen-friend, Jung Daehyun ⋮ 24 ⋮ outgoing, talkative, friendly ⋮ The two has never formally met, and their relationship started when Daehyun was writing letters to others and accidentally sent one to Seungwoo. Shockingly, he responded, and they just sort of started writing letters back and forth. From what Seungwoo can deduce from his letters, Daehyun has quite a large circle of friends, and he's outgoing and friendly with strangers as well. 

⟪ OTHERS ⟫

Cat, Moonlight ⋮ 2 years old ⋮ mysterious, independent (extremely), cross when a stranger touches her, affectionate to her owners⋮ Seungwoo absolutely adores her because of her personality, especially since she seems to hate Suhyo. He got her as a present from when he was staying in the States, as his dorm mate's cat just birthed a litter of kittens. Seungwoo refuses to have anyone except himself and Suhyo to touch her, and she's extremely wary of strangers, nearly scratching Yixing's face when he visits. She's a Turkish Angora.

 

⟪ WHERE ARE THE MIRRORS IN YOUR HOUSE/APARTMENT? ⟫

"I've got one of those small ones - what? They're called compact mirrors? Oh, so you know. How thrilling to have someone smarter than me nearby so they can act as a human dictionary. Absolutely exciting - on my desk, a hanging one in my room, a large one in the goddamn toilet, and one or two in Suhyo's room. I don't know because I can care less. Thank you for wasting two minutes and ten seconds of my life. I owe you so much."

⟪ BACK UP ⟫ Zhoumi 

 
loveint

⟪ PERSONALITY ⟫ Zhang Yixing is a very passionate and determined person, who, like Seungwoo is very dedicated to his work, which often takes a harsh toll on his health and body.

He teaches dance classes in the infamous 1Million dance studio, as well as does choreography for several artists when needed. He is stubborn as well, and sometimes refuses to take Seungwoo's advice to rest because he just can't. (as he claims) 

However, Yixing normally is a forgetful yet sweet and caring person. He is quite shy around people he doesn't know, but showers affection on those close to him. 

One of his weaknesses is his memory. Tell him something, and you can bet he will forget it within ten minutes. Because of this, Seungwoo sometimes gets fustrated and annoyed, but calms down quickly.

Another is his grudges. Unexpectedly, even though he has poor memory, Yixing can hold a grudge for a very long time. He refuses to give in to the other person, even if he had done wrong. His pride stands in the way of apologising, so that sometimes causes him to lose valuable people in his life. 

Yixing is by nature, a healer. He cares for Seungwoo even more than he does for himself, and is extremely sweet to his boyfriend. 

⟪ ANY LAST COMMENT FOR THE EARTH-REALM CHARACTER ⟫ Seriously, Yixing and Seungwoo fits so well I'm dying and fangirling

also Yixing is a monster in bed if you really want to add this

⟪ EARTH-REALM SCENE REQUESTS ⟫ Please write a scene where Yixing spills coffee over Seungwoo and they just went to Starbucks with Seungwoo being really quiet and seemingly withdrawn while Yixing was sort of flustered.

Or scenes that Seungwoo repeatly face-palms himself when Yixing forgets things

 
 

⟪ RELATIONSHIP ⟫

On the surface, the two of them seem more like friends than lovers because they don't really argue that much in public or initiate skinship. However, in private the two have a very intimate and loving relationship, where Seungwoo leans against Yixing, the both of them in silence as they watch a movie or taking a walk somewhere.

Yixing knows Seungwoo from inside out, and the same can be said for Seungwoo. Because of this, Yixing often teases his boyfriend and enjoys seeing him flustered and embarrassed, or Seungwoo pulling pranks on his boyfriend, petty things like putting salt in his coffee. 

The both of them takes care of each other deeply and are by nature mother hens or healers, so they often bicker over the other's health and concern for the other's habit of overworking himself, usually resulting in one of them storming out in anger or the apartment being filled with loud silence. One of them would bound to be upset because he thinks the other doesn't care about his own health, and arguments between the two of them would last for days, the longest one for months because of their stubborn and prideful natures. 

However, if that bond is initiated properly, Seungwoo secretly enjoys being babied and fussed over by Yixing, sometimes purposely doing so just to have the other being concerned over him. Yixing, on the other hand, accepts whatever Seungwoo has to offer him, small things such as adding extra sugar or cream in his coffee with extreme gratefulness, and cannot keep his hands off his boyfriend afterwards. 

Yixing is one of the reasons Seungwoo is still living. Because of trauma and memories that haunt him, he still wakes up drenched in cold sweat and frightened, nightmares chasing up with him. Whenever his mood swings or bipolar disorder strikes, Yixing has an endless amount of patience and pots of coffee to offer, and his warmth is enough to calm Seungwoo. 

Together, the two shares an inseparable bond. 

⟪ FIRST MEETING ⟫

Seungwoo has been working at Daeil Foreign Language High School for a year when Yixing arrives. Since the desk next to his was just recently cleared, it has been offered to Yixing. The two barely talks except for short conversations about trivial things, until one day Yixing accidentally knocks the other's cup of cofee coffee over his lap and tries to compensate by buying coffee for him. 

(actually, their first meeting was when Seungwoo was still living in Hong Kong and Yixing was there for Chinese New Year. Seungwoo was playing in his grandmother's garden when he sees the other, who is riding a bicycle. Driven by curiousity, he goes up to the other boy and asks if they can play together. However, none of them remembers this clearly, so the spilling coffee thing is counted as their first meeting) 

⟪ TRIVIA ⟫

  • Yixing composes songs whenever he's free, and asks Seungwoo to listen to them and give constructive critism before releasing the tracks. 
  • Yixing steals Seungwoo's accessories while he takes Yixing's hoodies. 
  • Their dates usually consist of sitting together and watching movies with takeout, or wandering through mysterious and unknown paths in the city. 
  • Yixing has long since given up on teaching Seungwoo how to dance, even though he insists upon it. 
  • When they sleep together (as in, in the same bed and not ing), Yixing always drapes his limbs over Seungwoo's body or pulls him close when both of them are knocked out. 
  • They either drink coffee or alcohol during their dates. Well, water too but somehow it ends up being vodka.

⟪ BIRTHDAY ⟫ November 7
⟪ AGE ⟫ 23
⟪ HOMETOWN ⟫ Unknown (border between White City and City of Hearts)

⟪ POSITION ⟫ Aries tactician

⟪ SPECIES ⟫ 3/4 human and 1/4 elf
⟪ WEIGHT, HEIGHT ⟫ 70kg, 185cm

⟪ FASHION STYLE ⟫ Seungwoo in the Mirror-Realm can care less about what he wears, contrast to his Earth-Realm persona, but when he gets mad or is in a foul mood, his clothing somehow drastically changes. 

Granted, he's not a warrior so he won't have to be ready for the battlefield at all times, but he still wears clothes that are comfortable yet tight, because loose clothes are a bother in case an enemy's blade get caught. 

Normally, he wears a dark shirt combined with a jacket, usually a gray hoodie with pockets so he can stick supplies inside, such as pencils or chess pieces. Seungwoo prefers sweatpants or tight pants with a stretchy fabric than jeans, coupled with a weapons belt. Trainers are easy to fight in, and in case he has to run, the boots sitting in a dusty corner of his room would certainly result in a sprained ankle. 

On days where he's in an exceptionally foul mood, Seungwoo wears a turtleneck or a dress shirt with a blazer, because he claims they help him concentrate more (as his anger often takes over when he gets mad or annoyed), with tight jeans that looks uncomfortable and a knitted jacket that falls to his knees. He also wears combat boots and refuses to acknowledge the uncomfortable squeeze, as well as the fact that he may hurt his feet. 

Seungwoo still likes his accessories though, even if his collection had diminished in size, consisting only of beanies and necklaces which he sometimes shorten to form chokers. He also wears gloves when he is using his guns in battle. 

⟪ APPEARANCE ⟫ He stands at a height of 185, with a slim built and slightly muscular body, as well as long and lithe limbs. His hair is a brownish-red colour, and his hairstyle is messy as if he just rolled out of bed, so he often claps a beanie over it to make it less of an eyesore. He has almond-shaped blue eyes, but frequently wear red contacts because he hates his natural eye colour. Also, he either wears a scowl on his face or deadpans. 

 
 

⟪ PERSONALITY ⟫
Positive traits ⋮ Determined, ambitious, loyal, intelligent
Neutral traits ⋮ Independent, secretive, persuasive, competitive
Negative traits : Ruthless, cold, pessimistic, rude/foul-mouthed, sarcastic, unpredictable, hot-tempered, distrustful, extremely stubborn, irritable

Outwardly, Seungwoo is a rude person who never plays by the rules. He likes to add a sarcastic comment after every word others say, resulting in him having a bad reputation as well as the hatred of the others.

However, all of that is a facade. In reality, he buries deep inside his feelings of resentment, fustration as well as pain that he knows no one would be able to understand. Seungwoo chooses not to have attachments with his faction members because, deep down, he knows that they're bound to die and that he could be sending them to their death in every battle. 

Seungwoo also can't control his emotions well. He is driven purely by impulse and anger, acting on his extremely strong emotions that sometimes causes mistakes and misunderstandings to occur. Even though he manages to keep the fire inside of him down half of the time, when he explodes, it's not a pretty sight. 

Trusting someone is a difficulty for him. Due to his childhood, he constantly traps himself in a cage of pessimism that is best described as a great dark cloud, and refuses to listen to anyone else's advice except that of Yixing's and Jimin's, but only grudgingly and under obligation. Seungwoo believes that he's the only one capable of doing certain actions, hence overworking himself as well, but never let others see his weaknesses. The amount of distrust in him is also another reason that he's mainly isolated from the other faction members.

Once on the battlefield, however, he pushes his personal feelings and emotions all aside, letting his mind take over and planning strategies for the soldiers, and more often than not they always succeed, so the faction members feel safe even though their lives are grasped in the hand of someone they hate. He's a mastermind, and he shows no mercy to the opposing side, the battle plans always resulting in tragedy for the other side. He deems emotions useless in battle as well. 

Despite this all, Seungwoo is loyal to his faction, and he hates those who speaks badly of Aries or jokes about leaving. He is good with words as well, weaving hidden and possibly dark meanings inside consuling words to persaude his faction members into doing something dangerous or violent in battle, regardless of how they feel in the situation. 

If he, in whatever circumstances have to step onto the battlefield, his abilities would certainly not be mistaken to be that of a tactician's. Seungwoo never backs down from a challenge, especially if it seems impossible and is willing to fight toe and nail, and wouldn't go down without causing sparks. 

"Feelings? What are they? Food?" 

⟪ BACKGROUND ⟫

He doesn't remember anything from his childhood, but he has flashes of a pair of green eyes that are filled with fear and hatred, and the cold, cold feeling of either snow or rain hitting him when he was but a newborn. 

His memories started from approximately the age of ten, when he recounts a woman whom he calls his mother taking care of him and raising him to the age of fourteen, when she passes away from a stray bullet to her heart. 

Fueled by anger and the desire for revenge, Seungwoo wanders around in the City, collecting snippets of gossip as well as information by brokers, whom he tricked by promising money and running away. Because of this, he started to live using his own strategies, becoming nimble as he often has to escape from different people. He also changed his name several times, and had carved his own onto his arm in order not to forget. 

At the age of seventeen, when Seungwoo gathered enough information to deduce that the woman who raised him was killed by the Deimos faction, he began devising a plan to skirt around in the mountains to reach the City of Hearts and to bestow hell upon those who killed his only family - or that he knows of.

On the mountains, he met a boy named Wonshik, who was running away from the battlefield in the City of Hearts and to safety in the wildreness, who told him that there was a family in the City who has the same eyes as his, a bright shade of blue. Filled with doubt, he continues to ask the other for information until he realises that the family could possibly be his own. 

Seungwoo believes that both of his families - the one he knows and the one he has yet to encounter, are under the control of the Deimos faction. He then brings Wonshik to the White City to start his new life, and was prepared to sneak into the City of Hearts and murder the leader when thankfully, a scout from the Aries faction found him, persuaded him to join Aries in order to seek revenge on those who took away pieces of his life, and he accepts without a second thought. 

At the age of eighteen, when he was sent on patrol duty with a few other members of his faction, Seungwoo stumbles upon a broken mirror shard, and he tracked the piece to the original mirror and passed through it after completing his reflection.

A few months later, he meets Jung Daehyun and tried to murder him with his dark aura, only to find that he failed - for the first time - and grudgingly gave in to the other's sunshine smiles and horrible jokes. Despite his complaints, Seungwoo is internally grateful for the other's company, and when there's no one around he lets parts of his true personality break through and becomes truthful to Daehyun, who insists upon staying by Seungwoo's side even though his friends kept telling him to leave.

Fast forward to the summer he was twenty. Seungwoo was retrieving an arrow he shot when Chaerin sneered at him for using a bow and arrow because it was so damn old-fashioned. He shot back a few insults of his own, and the two started aruging until a member of the team managed to break it up. They decided to view each other as enemies, but one day the both of them started to simultaneously argue with a person who insulted Seungwoo. (Chaerin decided that she would be the one to bring him down ever since their argument from day one). Since then, he views the other in a different light, though they do engage in verbal battles now and then. 

The winter he turned twenty-one, Seungwoo was assigned to be the tactician of his Division, and met Zhang Yixing for the first time after he got injured by a stray throwing knife when he was training. Yixing managed to convince Seungwoo into not killing the person who threw the knife, as well as speaking up for him when Jimin asked. Since the two of them does most of the behind-the-scenes work, they understood each other better than the others, thus forming a deep relationship. 

⟪ TRIVIA ⟫

  • He challenges Jimin to chess battles frequently as he believes the Division leader is the only one who matches him in terms of brain power. 
  • Whenever he's strategizing a plan, Seungwoo likes to place chess pieces on maps on on a chess board to indicate the different positions of the opposing side. 
  • He's a sadist.
  • He loves the rain, especially if it's pouring and there's a storm outside, and likes to sit and stare at the rain for hours on end.
  • Drinks a large amount of coffee to keep himself going. 
  • Never sleeps for more than seven hours, yet manages to keep his head clear.
  • He enjoys playing with others' mind, often engaging unsuspecting victims in his own mind games. 
  • He listens to Jimin most of the time, but defies orders just for the heck of it and because he knows they can't get rid of him as no one can replace him (that sounds him being full of himself, but that's true) 
  • Learnt survival skills and how to fight when he's wandering alone. 
  • Loves the quiet. A lot. 
 

⟪ FAMILY ⟫

Unknown sister, (Lee Suhyo) ⋮ Unknown (20) ⋮ Unknown (sadistic, cruel, dramatic, outgoing, friendly) ⋮ Seungwoo doesn't know his sister as they're seperated from birth, with him believing his whole family is forced to live in the City of Hearts. 

Unknown mother, (Kim Dahyun) ⋮ Unknown ⋮ Unknown ⋮ She is the woman who gave birth to Seungwoo, yet her son has no idea who she is except for the pair of green eyes flashing up in his memories occassionally. 

Unknown father, (Lee Sungman) ⋮ Unknown ⋮ Unknown ⋮ Seungwoo has no memories of his father, but he is eager to meet him due to the lack of a father figure in his life. 

Adoptive mother, Kang Mina ⋮ 46 at death⋮ kind, patient, loving ⋮ She found and raised Seungwoo from a bundle of crying tears to a strong young man, and he is forever grateful for her guidance and patience. However, her death was sudden, and it fueled Seungwoo into becoming what he is now. 

⟪ FRIENDS ⟫

Best friend, Kim Wonshik ⋮ 24 ⋮ quiet, sensitve, mature ⋮ They met up in the mountains, with Wonshik trying to start a new life in the White City. Because he had helped him, Seungwoo decides to bring him to the city. After he joined the Aries faction, he bumped into Wonshik once in the city, and they still meet up when they have time. Seungwoo sees Wonshik as a father figre and the elder brother he will never have. 

Best friend, Jung Daehyun ⋮ 23 ⋮ loud, outgoing and friendly ⋮ The only person in Aries faction that truly accepts Seungwoo for who he is, and is not afraid of his rude and cold demeanor. He considers the older as his best friend and vice versa, mainly because Daehyun feels he couldn't form a deep and lasting relationship with the others. Seungwoo is grateful for Daehyun's company, because he fills up the lonely silence he endures most of the times, and he doesn't care when he gets angry and lashes out at him because Daehyun knows what Seungwoo is going through. 

Close friend, Lee Chaerin ⋮ 22 ⋮ sassy, ruthless, pretensive⋮ Seungwoo and Chaerin are close in the sense that neither of them gives a flying about what others say about them. Their personalities are similar, and through hatred of others grow close, somehow. The two of them enjoys talking about the others, as well as arguing in their free time. Though when either of them are in need, the other would help. 

⟪ ALLIES ⟫

Aries faction

Suspected love interest, Zhang Yixing ⋮ 25 ⋮ caring, patient, determined ⋮ One of the only people who stands by Seungwoo's arguments and rants regardless of how annoying, stupid, ruthless or crazy they are 
 

⟪ ENEMIES ⟫

Deimos faction 

Opposing tactician, Kim Sunggyu ⋮ Seungwoo considers Sunggyu as his personal enemy, even though the both of them have never met and probably never will, mostly because the two of them are the team's tacticians and...that's basically it

 

⟪ WEAPONRY ⟫

Seungwoo uses a bow and arrows, but mostly prefers firearms such as guns as bullets are easier to carry and they pack more destructive power. He also brings daggers and throwing knives with him. Also his mind. His mind is the most deadly of them all.

⟪ FIGHTING STYLE ⟫

He prefers to fight long-range instead of short-range, though Seungwoo can also fight close combat. Because of his excellent aim, he usually takes down enemies from a distance using firearms, reloading it quickly after every shoot, hence possessing the nickname 'death-shot'. He also carries twin revolvers with him, firing round after round before reloading, a bullet either to the heart or the head. Whenever he uses his firearms, he's efficient and quick in killing his enemies without ever touching them, causing his kills to be swift and painless. 

Originally, Seungwoo used bows and arrows because he loves the taut stretch of the string when he pulls the arrow back, but quickly realises that retrieving arrows are a pain, and a quiver can only hold so many. Since then, he prefers the gun to the bow. Throwing knives is another of his favourite weapons, but again he doesn't like to use it as he needs to retrieve them. The only reason he carries the throwing knives with him is because they don't cause a sound when thrown, contrast to firearms which emit a 'bang' that could give away his location. 

In a way, he's more of an assassin than tactician when he's on the battleground, because he delivers lethal and swift blows from a secret and unknown location, so no one can be able to track him down. 

While he's skilled in long-range fighting, Seungwoo can also defend himself pretty well by close combat. He knows a few skills in hand-to-hand combat due to his years in the wild, but can also fight quite well with a dagger. However, his way of fighting is more based on instinct than tactics, something he's known for, so he wouldn't engage in hand-to-hand combat unless absolutely neccessary.

Even though he's skilled in handling weapons, he prefers to stay in the back than up front mostly because fighting is 'a waste of energy'. Saying that he's cunning and merciless is an understatement. Seungwoo leaves little to no room for discussion whenever he presents his battle strategies, and originally sees his divison members as pawns until Jimin put a stop to that and demands him devise plans that ensures the safety of the members. Seungwoo agrees grudgingly on the surface, but is secretly glad because he sure as heck doesn't want to be responsible for his team members' deaths. His plans and tactics are still ruthless and dangerous, but at least he's more concerned about the others' safety and gives them an escape route instead of charging them straight into the enemy base like he did before. 

⟪ EQUIPMENT ⟫

- a chipped off piece of mirror from the one he first used to traveled to Earth-realm 

- weapons belt where he places his twin pistols, throwing knives and dagger 

- at least one chess piece (and more often than not, it's either a knight or a pawn) 

- pencil because his hands are usually restless

- a pouch strapped to his weapons belt where he places his bullets

⟪ STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES ⟫

Seungwoo has an extremely powerful mind, and coupling with his ruthless and merciless nature, his greatest strength would be his tactics. Basically, his intelligence.

Stealth is also one of his strengths. He hides in secret places on the battlefield to have clear view of the situation, as well as to find places to have a clear shot. 

Paired with his intuition, Seungwoo would be practically indestructible if not for his weaknesses.

While he has the ability to block emotions, his hot temper is one thing that stands in the way. Seungwoo can get fustrated and angry easily, especially when he's under high pressure and often loses sight of his goals when that happens. He is also afraid of physical pain (even though he refuses to admit it), so he doesn't like being on the battlefield and prefers to stay in the back instead. 

Seungwoo is also sensitive to noise, the slightest gunshot (when it's not from his own) able to break his concentration. However, he refuses to wear earmuffs as they dull his senses, so he thinks he's better off the battlefield than on it.

⟪ POWER ⟫

He melts things when he's agitated or angered, and freezes things when he's upset, but can't control the power properly. (this comes in handy when trying to detect his mood) He also has enhanced eyesight, which is extremely helpful when he is on the battlefield, using his guns. 

 

⟪ HAVE YOU EVER ENTERED EARTH-REALM? ⟫

"Oh, you know, the times when I accidentally tumble through and lo and behold, I'm in somewhere that's not caught in the middle of the war and . Earth-realm is an amazing place if not for the people, it has a lot of quiet corners that I really want to explore. Plus, my earth-realm self learns a lot from me so I have to visit regularly or else that kid's going to lag behind." 

⟪ WHERE WOULD YOU LIKELY GO IN EARTH-REALM? ⟫

"Pretty sure it's going to be the forest trails or some mysterious place no one knows. I love the sea though, it's calmer than the one at home. But seriously, nothing can beat the libraries. It's always intriguing to know what the s over there think of their world as well as their history. Earth-realm self? Meh, we just talk in his room."

⟪ PERSONALITY ⟫ Yixing's best asset is having an endless amount of patience, showcased when he has to control Seungwoo's temper or when he has to heal others. 

It is obvious from the amount of time he spends in his time that he is determined as well as passionate. Yixing doesn't pay attention to time when he works, hence often resulting in his mental and physical health taking a toll. 

He is also polite, respecting others and takes care in his words so as to not offend others, and usually doesn't question where the warriors get the wounds because he regards this as rude and a blow to their pride.

However, once triggered, Yixing can be annoyed or mad at the person for months on end, and he never ever forgets someone who wrongs him. While he doesn't act in any particular way to that person, he also doesn't heal them completely when they're injured, such as only going as far as bandaging a deep cut instead of utilizing his powers.

He actually has a short temper, but never shows it unless someone had really pissed him off. Yixing usually lets out his daily pented fustration on training, or tidying up his medical supplies. Sometimes though, when he's boiling with anger, his emotions show on his face and his expression turns stony or indifferent, lips set in a thin line and eyes narrowed. That's when people know to run when he walks out of his infirmary in quick and long strides for whatever reason. 

At times when he's simply exhausted though, his expressions are the same as that of when he's angry, so only those close to him can properly distinguish between the two and offer company or comfort when he needs it. 

⟪ WEAPONRY ⟫ He is very capable of fighting bare-handed, but also carries around a traditional Chinese double-edged sword, sheathed and hanging from his belt. 

⟪ FIGHTING STYLE ⟫ Yixing combines both of his weapons; first, he delievers swift blows to the opponent using his bare fists, sweeping them off their feet and then pins them to the ground using his sword. He normally engages his opponent in hand-to-hand combat so he can access the other's fighting style, something he learnt from Seungwoo and using his blade afterwards.

Yixing's fighting style can be best described as agile, as well as versatile as he can adapt to the enemy's fighting style pretty quickly, then delivering his own lethal strike. 

⟪ EQUIPMENT ⟫ Medical supplies which consists of at least two rolls of bandages, a small bottle of alcohol and at least two pots of ointment, water bottle, sword, and gloves (which he wears). Sometimes he forgets his medical supplies though, and so he uses his medical powers which can drain him. 

⟪ STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES ⟫
Strengths: Yixing is selfless and patient, healing those who go to him. He also uses his powers for others even if it makes him tired afterwards, and takes good care of his divison members. 

In battle, he's agile and nimble, moving swiftly to dodge the enemy's blows and analyzing the other quickly all the time, so this shows his ability to multi-task as well. 

Weaknesses: He holds grudges and gets pretty fired up when he does. Yixing never forgives nor give a chance to those who wrong him to apologise, so there could be misunderstanding along the way that he refuse, in any way to solve and clear up. 

Having a selfless nature, Yixing offers everything he has to those who are hurt, and unfortunately only a handful of them appreciate his efforts. He tries to convince himself to see the good in others, and gives so many chances he ends up being stepped over and hurt, one of the reasons why he doesn't look back when he decides to cut ties with someone. 

⟪ TURN-IN ⟫
BACK TO STORY ⟫ 

⟪ ANY LAST COMMENT IN GENERAL ⟫ Please just kill me this is so long, and took me like a century to finish. 

Seriously though, I really love your idea and filling this in, because it's really well-planned and *showers applause*

The reason I left out so many details about Suhyo is because I'm planning on filling in another app for her (if I have the patience and the creativity; but I'll try my best :) 

Also thanks a lot for tolerating my endless flow of questions <3

⟪ MIRROR-REALM SCENE REQUESTS ⟫ Do write at least a scene on them spending quality time together, but if there's none it's fine as well

⟪ RELATIONSHIP ⟫

The two would've been in a romantic relationship if Seungwoo admits to his feelings for the other, but he is extremely stubborn and takes that as a sign of weakness. 

However, they're extremely close to each other, as Yixing is one of the few people Seungwoo listens to without complaints and opens up to. The two of them have quite a few similarities, such as the tendency to stay up working and their short tempers, so they have quite some time to themselves, and understood each other quickly enough. 

Yixing had hinted at feelings for Seungwoo, and he has neither denied nor confirmed those feelings, so the two are in that tiny space between friends and lovers, walking back and forth. Yixing also showers affection on the other, as he knows the long hours he works and how fustrated he is on a daily basis, being a pillar for him when he is close to breaking apart due to stress. 

Seungwoo knows that he can't repay Yixing in the same way, so whenever the healer is going through a hard time, his temper rising due to different reasons, he stays quietly by his side, sometimes linking his fingers with the others' to show that he''s there for him. Since Seungwoo is bad at expressing his emotions due to his distrustful nature, he shows his support and feelings via actions, something Yixing accepts as well. 

⟪ FIRST MEETING ⟫

Seungwoo was training, practising his aim by throwing knives when someone's knife went off-course and impaled itself in his left arm, luckily not a deep wound but he swears the other out and basically intimidated the hell out of the poor kid when Yixing passed by, heard the quarrel and dragged Seungwoo to bandage him up, but gave up and used his powers because the tactician had refused to stay still for more than ten seconds. 

Later, the kid told on Seungwoo to Jimin, who immediately went and questioned him. Since Yixing had been on the receiving end of his anger for the past half hour or so, he explained the whole situation to the Division Leader, who is doubtful after that but decides to accept it because he trusts Yixing's word. 

⟪ TRIVIA ⟫

  • Seungwoo loves cuddling and leaning his head on Yixing's shoulder on the rare occassions they have free time together, either watching rain pouring or the moon (which Yixing loves) quietly, just sitting there. 
  • Yixing has a habit of massaging and playing with Seungwoo's slim fingers absent-mindedly when they rest on his lap. 
  • The two of them spar when either of them gets fustrated, to enhance their skills but also to take out their anger. The battles usually end up with one of them injured, and the other one bandages them up, using special ointments Yixing makes himself to heal others when it's not severe enough to use his powers. 
  • Seungwoo learns basic medical skills from Yixing, and Yixing the skill of analyzing an opponent before attacking recklessly from Seungwoo. 
  • Seungwoo often brews a pot of green tea for Yixing to keep him healthy, and even if it's slightly bitter Yixing still loves it. 
  • Yixing at making coffee and Seungwoo bluntly told him to 'stop making that muddy substance you call coffee or I'll kill you'
  • Yixing is often on the receiving end of Seungwoo's empty threats, both the ones when he's awake and when he's just sleep talking. 
  • Yixing sings Seungwoo to sleep on the rare occassions when he's stressed about his strategies, and Seungwoo rubs the pads of his fingers on Yixing's stiff neck and shoulders, or scratches his scalp to soothe the healer to sleep.
