Thelifeofacarny --

Chosen role: Reflections

Clothing style: 

  • "Work": He wears black trousers and a white shirt tucked neatly. He wears his special shoe- a worn out white sneakers that his father gave him on his 15th birthday.
  • Leisure: He wears printed tee with skinny jeans, covered up with a black hoodie and high-top all-black sneakers. Sometimes he wears long-sleeved tees and knee-length jeans with his slip-on canvas sneakers.

Background: Since his childhood, the Carnival has always been a part of his life. The House of Mirrors fascinated him. He was amazed by how a mirror can change him so much. Since his sister left him for her "new life", he becomes extremely distanced, and hides in the House for a long time, only to come out for supper and slumber. His father and mother was unable to pull him back to reality for several years, and he rarely visits home. But when he did, after a long time, visited his house, it was dusted. He immediately felt guilty and started to live there again. His obsession came back again when his father died. He sulks and never left the House of Mirrors. His friend Starlight, after hours of searching him, finally found him hidden in a difficult corner, passed out, with tears still b on his eyes. After that, he became distracted from conversations and is usually found out staring into space, ignoring the world, and lost in his thoughts. Ever since he found out about the mysterious notes that is located in the House of Mirrors, he is becoming more social.

*What about family? Do you have any? What happened to them, and where are they now?

  • (Byun Jae-sun / 47 / OC / none / Father / Office Worker / Slight wrinkles, but smiles plastered onto his face - Stern but humorful / Dead / Desperatis Memoriam Cemetery)

    Byun Jae-sun was none other than Baekhyun's father. He is stern, but if he likes you he will always make you laugh with his amusing jokes and his grinning face. He died at the age of 45, when Baekhyun was 15 years old. He was killed in a hit-and-run car crash. Baekhyun was extremely devastated by this occurance. He mildly dislikes Baekhyun's sister because of her snobbiness, but he tried to help her regain her original personality. He is an honest man and has a large view of what is good and what is evil.
  • (Byun Ah-reum / 41 / OC / none / Mother / Office Worker / Beaming everywhere, everlasting inner beauty / Alive / Baekhyun's hometown)

    Byun Ah-reum is Baekhyun's mother. She is famous for her "eye-smile" and her independent side. She is slightly hostile to all rich and snobby families because her first love, who was a snobby rich kid, proposed to her and then immediately took it back for another rich and snobby girl. She was more devastated than Baekhyun about her husband's death, but she quickly regained her strength and encourages her children to do the same. She is still trying to have her daughter's original personality back. Very close to Baekhyun.
  • (Byun Hwa-young / 21 / looks based on C.L / Sister / Model / Snobby, arrogant, too stubborn for her own good, degrading and under-estimating people, but when she opens up, she's extremely clumsy. She is not a playgirl, she is bluntly honest and faithful to her current lover / Alive / Her boyfriend's mansion)

    Hwa-young is a misdirected girl, and she is also Baekhyun's sister. She is blinded by love and jealousy, and the desire to be known and ultimately, to be loved. She may look like a playgirl to you, but in reality, she's not. She never loved her boyfriend, at all, it's just that she wants herself to be known. Distances herself from her family, because she feels that they don't understand her opinions and her ways. Results in meeting her family usually ends in bickering and slamming the doors. She was sad her father was dead, but after his memorial she went out to a nightclub to forget all her worries.

Personality: Baekhyun is generally a really nice guy. He is honest, but when he thinks his comments would hurt the particular person, he keeps it to himself. He is a bright man with a genuine smile plastered on his face. But if you notice, he seems distracted all the time, and is usually seen staring in the space, lost in his thoughts. He believes that in every person, there's a light side of him/her. But he finds it now difficult to grasp on because of his father's untimely death, that is caused by a hit-and-run accident, and the person who did that was plain sinister. He keeps his imperfections to himself and hides it very well. He is a mild Perfectionist to everything that he sees.

What do you value in life? Love. Honesty. Perfection.

  • Love: Baekhyun has never under-estimated the power of love. He believes that its strength was more powerful than the power of hatred.
  • Honesty: Baekhyun prefers dark truths than bright but deceiving lies. He dislikes being kept in the dark, he hates it. 
  • Perfection: Baekhyun values perfection- even though he truly doesn't know what it is really. His current view of perfection: sweet, nice, innocent, pure, good-looking.

    He hated, feared speeding cars from the moment his dad died. He always thought that all of it was reckless, not caring about any other. His fears was also that his whole family would be killed by a passing, speeding car.
  • Imperfection
    Who doesn't? He was always scared that his "Perfect" image will be ruined by his various humanly "imperfections". 

     

*More random facts:

  • Baekhyun was close to his older sister before she left for fame and richness. He secretly hoped that she would come back, and tell him that all these years it was just some stupid joke she invented for her family, and hug him again.
  • Baekhyun can be hostile and sarcastic if he is in his bad mood. He is also sometimes lazy and arrogant. At those times, he usually tends to forget his "Perfection". He will usually punish himself by not going out of his house and not eating.

 

Comeone,comeall --

Platonic relationships:

Which of the other 6 carnies are you close to? Chasing Fate, Round and Round, Sweet Sale, Ticket Vendor

*Why/How? What do you guys do together? 

  • Chasing Fate: Baekhyun usually sits in her tent and waits patiently for her to read his future. He knows that she makes baseless predictions on love, so he didn't ask her for that. They occasionally sit down and talk about their lives.
  • Round and Round (Delusional): If Baekhyun passes her, he would always offer his help carrying the few spare parts she carries everywhere. Round and Round usually brushes him off, saying "It's my job, not yours" but Baekhyun always insists on doing it. Baekhyun sees her pouting and angry face as a symbol of a sarcastic "thank you", even though it's a pure hate and annoyed look.
  • Sweet Sale: She accepts Baekhyun as a regular customer and gives him regular discount and sometimes, free Cotton Candy. Baekhyun is concerned about her health but she laughs and just brushes it away.
  • Ticket Vendor: Baekhyun meets her almost everyday. She always smiles warmly when she sees him approaching the Ticket Booth. She is the one who gives all the information about the new attractions in the Carnival to him.

Which of the other 6 carnies do you dislike? Targeted

*Why/How? What happened? Baekhyun always dislikes Targeted. He doesn't like the way she deceives the Audience and pick on their hard-earned money. But, as Baekhyun, being perfect is worth anything. So he forces himself to enjoy her shows and fake his smile to her.

*Any other acquaintances? (friends, coworkers, bosses, etc.)

  • (Annie / 20 / OC / Close Friend / Part-Time Fashion Designer / Bubbly yet awkward, straightforward / Alive / Overseas)
  • (Chanyeol / 18 / Idol / Best Friend / Student / Hyperactive and Blunt / Alive / Current whereabouts of Baekhyun)
  • (Choi "Starlight" Min-hee / 17 / OC / Best Friend / Performer / Curious and Blunt / Alive / the Carnival)

 

Passionate relationships:

Love interest 1: ("Alice" / Unknown / OC / Reflections / Secret note-poster)

Personality: Everything about her is unknown but her sweet and comforting words that is scattered around the House of Mirrors. She introduced herself as "Alice" in the notes. Her words were able to snap people's delusion with a caring and sweet ways. Many people searched the House of Mirrors for hours just to find her sticky notes. The notes would always be replaced by new ones by the next day.

Love interest 2: (Choi "Starlight" Min-hee / 17 / OC / Freak Show / Performer)

Personality: Somehow cold, but opens up when you yourself is open to her. Doesn't know much about the outside world because she was raised inside the carnival, extremely curious and blunt. She has a weird power-- to produce light-- and her eyes are a mix of amber and jade-- and hence the nickname "Starlight".

 

Behaviour:

How do you act around people you like as a friend? Extremely bubbly, smiles alot but somehow distracted.

How do you act around people you don't like? Cold and mildly hostile, fakes and forces to smile.

How do you act around a crush? Clumsy, awkwardly cute, smiles sheepishly, twiddles fingers.

Habits:

  • Happy: Smiles alot and somewhat giddy-ish.
  • Sad: Solemn, poker-faced, but inside, he's tearing up. If it's really extreme, he will not hesitate to bawl his eyes out.
  • Angry: Breathing quickens, sending glaring daggers everywhere, quiet and stubborn.
  • Bored: Stare at the space, face unreadable.
  • Nervous: Rubs the back of his neck and his eyes are set to stare on the ground.

 

Goingonce,goingtwice --

*Anything I've missed? Starlight will die in one point. Alice will open herself up. AND THEN CONFUSION! You decide. Or really, just go with the flow. I'd like that. Now that you've mentioned "are you sure" on the received app lists, I'm really scared ;_; Pfffft. I think it'll go like this: Starlight dies in one accidents of a rampaging Freak Show performer, Baekhyun glooms himself up and become depressed, Alice will open herself, feeling sorry for him and then-- Alice is Starlight ok to the people reading the app so sorry but I think this is a spoiler. And OH I actually forgot to tell you that Starlight is actually Baekhyun's best friend. Silly me. 

Meh. I decided the idea isn't good, either. Probably Alice will ultimately fall into a deep depression instead. Her notes will become dark and gloomy, she's writing about the absurdity of 'perfection'. And god, Baekhyun will be depressed, too. He thinks of her words as the right thing, a guide. And her notes will just leave another reason for him to hate himself. And Starlight became so immersed in her work, she'll fail to notice how easily distracted and his hostile mood. Baekhyun will distance himself from everybody. Annie calls him and she's worried about him, and she sends Chanyeol to help him. And then he meets with Chanyeol, and they have a massive, big fight. When Chanyeol heard about his idea of perfection and imperfection, he suddenly know why Baekhyun is like this all the time; because of his distorted views.

Chanyeol says to him that he has to go and vanish again, but he leaves on tip: find Alice and question her why she's writing all of that.

*Suggestions/Thoughts: Please, please, please no switching between POVs! If you've never wrote in a 3rd person POV (Author's POV) consider this as a challange. No really, I beg you. Please? :< I really like the storyline! And don't forget to add the "Timeless" era on the description to avoid any further confusion, k? I really hope I'll get the chance, but- I'll just hope for the best.

*Give me a song! - Karakuri Pierrot - Hatsune Miku OTL I'm sorry for suggesting a J-Pop song. Look at the translation, really. It's like totally cry-worthy about the tragedy of love.

Did you read the rules? "Ticket purchased."
