other name(s)  Zack Ryu 젴류 (he's not foreign, but since he was born and raised in Canada, he got referred to as Zack)
nickname(s)  
- The Canadian meme: You know the memes about Canadians being really friendly and apologising way too much? Well, Zack is the embodiment of those memes.
- Crybaby: Zack is the biggest crybaby of the group, he beats the others with a boatload, seriously. He cries so easily so the others often call him that to joke around and bully him. At least he looks kinda good while crying.
- Friendly giant: Okay, he is not THAT tall, but at least he passes the 180 cm mark, it is mostly how broad and muscled he is that made people call him the friendly giant. He looks very intimidating at first, but he's just a big softie.
- CCG: short for Cotton Candy Gangster. No one knows why they use it but it is probably made up by the weirdest member of the group.
- Frost king: Being a true canadian, Zack is used to the cold, being able to handle cold weather really well while he really can't handle hot weather at all. He also just loves cold food and drinks the most, hence why they call him the frost king, when they are drunk, it changes into Elsa.

birthdate  05.14.1994 + 23
birthplace  Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada
hometown  Whitehorse, Canada & Seoul, South Korea

language(s)  
- English: native: English was Zack's first language, but since he has been living in Korea and speaking more Korean than English recently, his English skills are slowly decreasing.
- Korean: fluent: Since he's fully Korean, his parents have teached Zack Korean ever since he was a toddler. So when he moved to Korea he pretty much had no troubles communicating.
- French: conversational: In Canada, many people speak French, so Zack has learned some in class and from his best friend as well.

faceclaim  Bigflo's Lex (bu: Cross Gene's Sangmin)
ht & wt  182 cm & 74 kg

(LOOK AT THIS DUDE HE'S SO RUDE UGH)

appearance  His fc is smaller and skinnier but I decided to make him even more intimidating than he already is so just imagine his face on Shownu's body. Broad, muscled but also a bit chubby. He also has some tattoos. One on his side, on his arm and on his thigh. He didn't show off his body yet, so fans currently only know about the one on his arm. He definitely has a great booty as well. He has always had black hair and sometimes wears blue lenses which everyone up.

fashion  Zack has a very clean and simple style, which is often surprising because the stylists usually style him as a bad boy in leather to increase his looks. He likes to wear shorts though, as long as his tattoo on his thigh is hidden, and since he is used to cold weather, Zack is very sensitive to heat and pretty cold resistant so if they did a contest of who could wear shorts with the coldest weather, Zack would definitely win. Even more: at the dorm he always walks around in his boxers, he needs to let his body breathe and be free. And on top of that, he sleeps . Do NOT pull off his blankets during a dorm waking up mission, it will... be a disaster, to say the least. He does allow other members to cuddle with him while he's cause he loves sleeping with someone else but when they don't want that he'll become disappointed and at least put on some boxers.

personality  
(+): friendly, caring, polite
(0): emotional, shameless, flirty
(-): clingy, easily discouraged, possessive

"Come here and give me a hug!" "For 's sake Zack, you're ."

- Friendly and caring: He might look as intimidating that even children might run away from him, but poor Zack is just a little bean. Not literally, he's certainly not little, but he is a bean. He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever need, very open and friendly to anyone he meets. he cares deeply about anyone around him, even if he doesn't like them, which already is pretty rare. He may look like a gangster, but once he shows his friendliness, people will think he's as sweet as cotton candy. That's why the weirdo of the group started to call him Cotton Candy Gangster. Que the canadian memes, everybody.

"Oh, did I scare you? I'm terribly sorry."

- Polite: Even though this dude likes to disturb most of the groupmates (or make them thirsty) by just liking to let his body free and show it off, he's a very polite man. Zack has amazing manners, and even though he didn't grow up in Korea and never really understood honorifics, he still uses them constantly and talks politely without any cursing, most of the time. He sometimes even uses polite Korean when it's not needed.

"I'm not going to make it, might as well give up..." "Dude we're literally going for five minutes."

- Emotional and easily discouraged: Here comes the cotton candy again. Zack is one big softie, like seriously. He cries so easily of both sadness, anger and joy. Even when he's mad he'll just burst into tears. He's also easily discouraged and the groupmates often have to drag his sad along if it doesnt work out from the first few times. If he ends up succeeding in the end though, he'll feel extra happy and will probably cry again, from joy this time.

"Boy, are those space pants? Cause your is out of this world!"

- Shameless and flirty: Even though he's generally a fluffball, Zack knows his sneaky ways to show off. Cheesy pick-up lines, lots of winks and really fluffy compliments are part of his daily vocabulary. Not only to the one he likes, but to basically everyone in the group and some friends as well. He just loves to play around and show off how good he actually is at flirting, and maybe he also wants to just make his boy jealous. He's also brutally honest, even when it might get him into trouble, he just doesn't believe lying is beneficial.

"Hey!! That's my boy you're touching!! Shoo! Shoo!"

- Clingy and possessive: He's not just a bit clingy and possessive, but so much that it might become annoying. He'll cling and cling and constantly ask for love and attention like a child, and when he won't get it, he'll whine. And once he gets it, he won't let go. He won't get anyone get close to the one he's cuddling with at that time. Seriously. Because of this, he'll get pissed easily when someone touches his boy Kitti. It's not only with people, but stuff like food, moisturiser, pretty much everything is labeled. He writes his name on everything that is his and if you see 'Zack' on something, you better not touch it.

background  Zack was born in the beautiful, dreamy town Whitehorse in northern Canada. A lovely, small city where it is possible to watch Northern lights. Zack and his little sister grew up together in the small city, living the happy, normal life and just loving to play outside in the snow. But snow and northern lights wasn't the only thing he loved, while his little sister loved science, Zack himself was in love with music since he was a toddler. It was really odd to his parents, because none of them were actually interested in music. It came out of nowhere, they thought, but it was actually his best friend that always loved to make him listen to music. He wasn't particularly good at singing, dancing or rapping, no, he didn't even explore it, he rather focussed on playing an actual instrument, the guitar. Zack was a guitar genius, learning way faster than his best friend Sam. From a young age, the boy had a great sense of rythm and was great at improvising on his guitar. His singing was on tune, his dancing was average, but nothing more, nothing less.

When Zack was 15, in 2009, his friend suddenly came running to him. He was Korean, his best friend was fully Canadian. But the one who discovered kpop first was his best friend. It started with Wonder girls and T-ara for his best friend, but Zack only warmed up to it when he listened to U-kiss. He got really into kpop and he started to create covers, for himself, of course, Zack didn't dare to actually reveal them to anyone other than his best friend and sister. When someone asked him what he wanted to become when he was an adult, what his dream was, Zack always replied: "I don't know." He never knew what to do with his life, because he liked music the most but never thought he was actually good enough to make it his career. Until his best friend Sam said: "Dude, why don't you become an idol in Korea? You have the music down, you don't have to be that good to be in a boy group, and you certainly do have the visuals!" And Zack actually started thinking about it. When he turned 19, he left for Korea, he wanted to go earlier but his parents were worried because even though he was legal in Canada, he wouldn't be legal in Korea yet.

Arriving in Seoul was a culture shock for him, and damn, it was hot! He really wasn't used to Korea even though he is fully Korean. After lots of tries for auditions and often being told that he wasn't good enough, Zack gave up after months of trying, and just went to study guitar at the conservatory instead, where he was praised for his skills. But he did decide to stay in Korea, because well, he might want to try again, right? But he got his chance when he got street scouted in 2014 on a hot summer day. Way too hot for Zack, but he was looking damn good on that day (even though he always looks good). The scouter was of beau entertainment, and offered him a trainee spot. And of course, Zack accepted. He finished that year of conservatory while combining it with his trainee life. Zack had never really explored what he could do, but while being pushed by the staff and other trainees, they actually discovered that he was more than average in rapping for sure, and maybe his great sense of rythm helped him develop a sharp rapping style with a great flow.

relationships

- Little sister / Lisa Ryu (fc: kim chungha) / 20 / Little Lisa is a bright girl who is currently studying chemistry at college in Canada. Zack loves his little sister a lot and just like him, she's an intimidating person who ends up being a complete softie. He calls and skypes her a lot and they sometimes play games together. She teases him a lot and has lots of sass as well.

- Best friend / Sam Brown (fc: Logan Lerman) / 23 / Sam, referred to as Sammy by Zack, is the one who was the start of all of this, pretty much the reason why Zack is now debuting in New moon. He's a freelance songwriter in America and often comes to visit.

- line / Weizhou (fc: haejoon/rubin) / idk, see his app if it's ready / They don't know each other that well yet, but they got known as the line of the group for obvious reasons. (this dude is youngandmenace's character but she's kinda stuck with her background atm lmao)

stage name  Zack, everyone literally calls him Zack so why pick something else?
persona  Wild chestnut, rough appearance, but actually soft (and delicious, wink wink nudge nudge)
position  Eclipse (bu: Mare, Breccia (both require to be half-Korean so if he will be one of those, he'll be Korean-Canadian)
talent twins  
- Vocal twin: Bigflo Z-uk (Bigflo Lex, Bigstar Feeldog)
- Rap twin: Bigflo Z-uk (n/a, Bigstar Feeldog)
- Dance twin: Bigflo Lex (for everything)
- Crying & variety twin: Bigstar Raehwan (he cries like all the ing time! Even worse than Lex himself!)

trainee years  4 years at Beau entertainment
trainee life  He got street scouted because of his visuals, but while he was decent at everything, he didn't really have a stand-out talent because he just never explored it. After working hard and exploring his potential with the trainers and other trainees, they discovered he was a stand-out rapper, so he got the lead rapper position and worked hard to polish his skills, because he was like a rough diamond. Sometimes when not getting a dance down or something, he'll want to give up, but his fellow trainees will drag him out of it.

predebut  N/A
scandals  I seriously can't come up with any, it also depends on how you'll handle the relationship between him and kitti, i'll add some when I come up with them but you can also add some yourself. He's too soft lmao.

love interest  Wichitchuea Kitti + New Moon + Bambam
backup  none/another member

personality  I don't know him as well as you do so imma leave this blank

love story  How they met? Simple, they trained together. Idk when Kitti joined Beau entertainment, but since Zack was there pretty early, I bet he was earlier? (I don't mind if it's the other way round though). I bet Kitti might've been intimidated at first (like almost everybody) but Zack didn't dare to approach Kitti because he was like really cute and made him nervous all the time? But they ended up talking to each other somehow anyway, I feel like I should let you decide on how they meet and whatever you want them to do, cause Kitti's your character and this is your story so I'm fine with anything.
interactions  They can go from bickering to cuddling and being really lovey dovey. There's always some tension between them, either the one you will like, or bad tension because Kitti can be such a misbehaving child to deal with. He definitely teases Zack a lot with his softness, that's for sure. Zack always gets nervous around Kitti because yeah he always gets distracted by his cuteness. Again, you can write this out how you want it as well.

status  cuddle buddies with lots of tension
ending  I'm leaving this up to you!

relationship trivia  
- Zack will definitely call Kitti kitten
- will probably write his name on Kitti at some point
- share their kinkiness but Zack tries to hide it and goes in denial?
- they HAVE to adopt some cats together!!
- idk you can add to this as well since this is not only my thing
- Zack really, really wants to watch the northern lights with Kitti
- he wants to teach Kitti how to snowboard as well (that would be ADORABLE)

comments  I'm so sorry if I included too many gifs but Lex is just too handsome ugh he's such a visual. I was talking to Nele who dragged me here and I was like 'I'm feeling like using Lex' and actually when I saw that plotline I laughed cause it was perfect for Lex. He is such a friendly goof and is actually the biggest softie and crybaby of Bigflo lmao. Anyway I hope I did well with him and that he'll be a good man for your little baby. I left the LI kinda open cause I would feel weird if I decided everything by myself.
scene req  
- they definitely have to go do some winter sports cause Zack wanted to and most of them would horribly fail while Zack just has the time of his life
- Zack crying over something really stupid
- Everyone being shook when Zack walks around in his underwear (or ) for the first time and some lowkey thirsting over his yummy body.
- okay but what would the rest think if they found out both of them are lowkey lmao
- ZACK CRYING OVER SOME DISNEY MOVIE AND ALL THE REST WOULD BE LIKE WTF I THOUGHT U WERE STRONG AND INTIMIDATING
- drinking contest!

password  Your light in the dark night, new moon! (pls kill me I at these)
