BOYS FOUND FOOTAGE : CHOI GIN
HOMETOWN Tokyo, Japan.
Born in the cold winter of Japan, Gin was hardly a joyful addition to a family of one, now two. His mother, young and inexperienced, shunned for getting pregnant as a teenager, had fled her country and decided to start over, but she was way out of her depths. Life was harsh for them both; being a single mother was no easy feat, so the woman - girl - would find her way to older men who could support her financially and she switched through them quickly. As a result, Gin was carried from house to house, never having a true home, as they were all homes of strangers. his mother did settle down, though they both would have probably preferred it if she had not. The man she married, after nearly a decade of wandering with a child on her hands, turned out to be no good. Stuck in an abusive relationship, she saw no hope of escape or life getting any better.
10 It was yet another night of absurd behavior in Gin's life. The man he was supposed to call his father screamed at him for something he probably did not do and he had to just stand there and take it. He was good at handling the screaming, but he did not see the fist coming. It was the first time the man had hit the boy. The target of his physical violence was usually Gin's mother, the poor woman never let the man get close to her child. A moment later she was between them, taking the beating herself. It did not matter whom the man hit, as long as he got his satisfaction.
Whenever this happened, Gin would hide behind the couch, so as to avoid being detected. He did not want to leave them alone and, peeking from behind the piece of furniture, he watched them. This night seemed to be no exception; The man would throw a few fists around, pull his mother's hair, slap her a few times and then proceed to do whatever he did other than beating her. Yet the man did not seem to stop. He got angrier with each hit. He did not seem to be satisfied with Gin's mother on the floor, quietly sobbing and begging Gin to stay where he was. Fists clenched tight, Gin stayed put. He trusted his mother to get through this, because she always did. The man continued to hit and he continued until the woman no longer breathed. only after her body had become bloody and unrecognizable did he seem to feel better.
Fear is a strong emotion and it controlled the 10 year old boy. He stayed put behind the couch, shaking and trying his best to keep himself hidden. However he no longer needed to hide as the man injected himself with heroin and no longer seemed to be there. Gin did not know what had shifted in the man that night, but he knew exactly what he needed to do. The now dumbed out man kept a gun in the master bedroom, so Gin went to retrieve it. He took it carefully, even wrapped a cloth around it to keep himself clean of it. The act was filthy after all. He walked back to the living room and grabbed the man's right hand, carefully wrapping his fingers around the handle. He though for a bit as to how he should place the gun and then decided to put the muzzle right under the man's tilted back jaw, the handle facing upwards. Gathering all his strength, Gin pressed down on the man's finger and consequently the trigger. The gun went off, splattering the man's brains on the wall behind.
After that everything was easier. Calling the cops, crying his heart out for his miserable mother. Life would go on.
Orphanages and foster homes were never satisfying. Gin made no effort to connect with anyone and he did not feel like he belonged in any of the homes he was placed, no matter how kind or rough he was treated. So he ran and found refuge on the streets, where he had no bed to sleep in, no roof over his head. This felt more like home than anywhere he had been before, maybe except his mother's arms.
17 Now Gin was successful, or as close as a kid like him could get to success. He had a job, he had a roof over his head, he had a girfrield, whom he loved. He did not need anything else. Sure there were flaws in everything listed above. His job required of him to get beaten up and beat other up; His apartment was one basement room; and he had to try and hide his relationship, because the father of his lover was a big shot in some yakuza he did not want to get involved in. Of course no secret stays hidden for long and the flaws catch up with him, when his "father-in-law" walks in on him ing his daughter doggy style. He feels extremely embarrassed to be first seen like this by the man he should be trying to impress, so he flees the scene as peacefully as he can.
Surely, the man was pissed, but he did not expect to be cornered by a bunch of his men after one of his fights. Gin fights well and he fights dirty, but he is no match for around 15 armed men, who also fight well and dirty. He is beaten until most of his body is bruised and he is stripped of his manhood, defiled, just like the man thought he had "defiled" his daughter. He is warned to stay away and he has learned his rather undeserved lesson.
The next few days are hard. That night and the day after, he lays in his room curled up and crying for his mother, because everything is just too much. His phone continues ringing and he knows exactly who is calling and what they'll say. He wants to hear none of it. On day 4, he feels more like himself, or more in touch with reality. He can't swallow any of this, he needs to reaffirm himself and the best way for that, he decides, is to eliminate the head of the snake. Another 4 days and he has a well thought out plan and a plane ticker he does not remember where to. He executes his plan, his lover's father dead and flees the country.
18 Gin is now part of a gang. He has recovered most of himself, except his will to live. He is not actively suicidal, but he has gained self-destructive tendencies he did not have before. He becomes more and more reckless, only working on improving his physical abilities, so he can up as many people as he can. He fights and fights, until he can no longer hit, but he keeps overcoming that limit too, meeting new physical obstacles and working hard to overcome them as they come
- complete health nut. does not drink, does not smoke, takes no drugs. Eats as healthy as he can, plenty of protein for his muscle.
- he spends his free time, meaning time spent away from training and fighting, reading books he borrows from others.
- Favorite music - deep lyriced rock or senseless electronic music
- He speaks Japanese, Korean and English. All of them learned from interactions with various people as he only attended school before he ran away from his last foster home.
- is a no go for him at this point in life, for obvious reasons. As mentioned before he likes harmless flirting, but as soon as things get past that, he backs off. His uality is not determined. He had never been strictly straight, gay or anything. He believes that what matters when it comes to this is personality and at that point gender has no importance. Casual has never been an option either.
- Very low alcohol tolerance as he does not drink it. He used to get drunk with his ex girlfriend, she was a first for him in many things, and he knows from then that alcohol is not his friend.
- He quickly climbed up the ladder in the gang of resistance as his physical abilities are formidable and he works hard - obsessively- to better himself in that department, thus he now is pretty famous around the gangs,
- in most of his fights he goes mad. he fights loud and rough, bold, but calculated movements. At first he might seem like a dumb fighter, all brawn no brains, but that is also an advantage to him, as he is more than that and that impresion gets his oponents to get over-confident.
- The complete 180 he pulls from the kind and smiley, seemingly harmless "how is he even in resistance" boy to the mad man who just wants to get his hands bloody and beat someone to death stuns 'em all.
