                               Let's Take a Look Under the Hood



Personality:
Ava naturally has this tough and intimidating aura she gives off. She seems to always have this mean look on her face, that or a 'Are you ing serious’ expression. She’ll let a smirk, eye roll or smile escape every now and then and you get the impression that she is a cold person, until you see her freeze, then all hell breaks lose. Ava is a person who doesn’t have the best control over her temper. She will either attack with sharp words or heavy fists. She has been described as a drama queen although her argument for that is “ Listen, I only react like that if are disrespectful towards me and think you’re better than me, okay?” She will go from 0 to 60 in a heartbeat if she feels that you have disrespected her and is not afraid to fight anyone, female or male. She hates when people look down one her, So, if she feels like someone is challenging her, even someone much stronger than her she stupidly goes at it. She is a stubborn person and will not quit no matter how many times she is stomped down. Ava knows that she has a bad temper but she doesn’t think it’s uncalled for. She will not stand for disrespect, whether they disrespect her, her family or some random person walking down the street. She knows right and wrong and cannot stand when someone feels like they can just treat some people like because they think that person is beneath them. The reason why Ava has such a temper is that she is a very sensitive person when it comes to what others think of her. She feels like she has to prove herself to everyone and make them respect her, she does not care if that respect comes from how well her first impression is or how hard she smashed someone’s face in. The difference between other sensitive people and Ava is that Ava’s reaction to being looked down on is not depression or sadness, it’s rage. Like I said, she is a very sensitive person when it comes to how others see her, she wants people to look at her and see someone equal to them.

Because of Ava’s temper and intimidating presence many people find it very hard to approach her. Ava screams 'foreigner' from a mile away. Even though she has been living in Korea for almost 5 years she hasn't gotten rid of those foreign traits. Ava walks like an American, talks like and American and dresses like an American. Ava also has a very sarcastic, dark and American sense of humor. She is reserved though so it may take a while for her to warm up to someone unless she feels that instant click with you. With her small group of friends she loosens up and is somewhat warm towards them. She finds it very hard for herself to show how she is feeling and to show love. She's that friend who you have to force into a group hug and will make a face and try to pry herself away. Ara is definitely a bully. That’s just her way of showing her love to people. She is always talking to someone or making some y comment. All out of love, of course. Her friends always complain about what a smartass Ava is. She has also been described as a diva since she can't control her facial expressions and if she thinks something is stupid or just plain ridiculous you can always tell by her expression what she is thinking.

Another word that Ava has heard herself being called since she moved to Seoul is 'manly' since she tends to talk very strongly and sharply. She voices her opinion and if she doesn't want to do something or if she thinks something is wrong she will say it then and there. But just because Ava seems like she wouldn't have any feminine traits doesn't mean its true. Even though she comes off as a crazy animal Ava actually has a very girly side to her so when she feels like people perceive her as a tomboy and ‘one of the boys’ it bothers her for days. She actually loves to go to the salon and be pampered and feel like a princess even though she doesn’t look like one. She always has her nails fixed and her hair taken care of, she takes good care of her skin and uses any remedy she can to make all the scars she has gotten from fighting smaller. She has to go get her nails done weekly and if she misses an appointment she will be overly dramatic and think that the world will end. Most of her friends and the rest of the team find this part of Ava’s character very surprising and funny. Whenever she announces that she’s going out to get her nails done or hair they always give her a look and she responds with a scoff and ‘What? A can’t look good too?” Before, Ava never really cared to much about being called a tomboy, sure she got annoyed since she didn't think she was one but never really gave it much thought. But as she got older and started to yearn for romance and a love interest her appearance began to matter more to Ava. This is actually her biggest insecurity, she feels like if she is just seen as this tomboy no guy will ever take an interest in her so she always has her hair and nails fixed and take extra care of her skin, even though she doesn't have that milky skin she at least has a certain glow to it. It’s kind of funny to see someone like Ava be the most insecure about her looks and how men see her.



Background: Ava comes from a multicultural family. Her parent’s met when they were both in  high school and got married soon after graduating. For Ava, it wasn’t a big deal being mixed until she moved to Seoul, that was the only thing that she saw different from L.A and Seoul. Ava lived in L.A until she was 16. Her childhood in L.A was happy. Her parent’s did suffer from financial problems so cutting back on certain things were a normal thing for Ava. But coming from a working class family didn’t seem to hurt Ava in the slightest. She was a little monster, always being loud and running around. She was a happy little punk. One of the things Ava recalls most from her childhood is her parent’s always working, that and the smell of cigarettes. Both her parents worked long hours 5 sometimes 6 days a week so it was up to Ava’s older brother Mark to get Ava ready for school and made sure she stayed out of trouble. But trouble was always around the corner, growing up where they did it was normal to see a bunch of guys huddled around a street corner, fights happening in alleys and falling asleep to the sound of helicopters. 

It had always been Ava’s dads dream to open up a wood shop back in Seoul and when Ava was 16 he finally managed to get enough money to buy a small property in a run down neighborhood in Seoul so the family moved to Seoul. It wasn’t much different for Ava, she still saw shady looking people, she still heard fights happening and still saw her older brother hanging out with the same sort or people.  The only thing that changed was how people saw her. When walking down streets or going to school people would often stare and whisper to each other because she obviously looked mixed. It was worse in school.  She was met hostility because of her skin tone and the fact that she wasn’t ‘pure’.  At first Ava was shocked, she honestly never experienced this at all so her reaction was to not say anything. She was still trying to sort this situation out, the fact that her being mixed was such a big issue. But it didn’t take long for Ava’s anger to get the better of her and she got expelled from her high school for getting into a fight. And she kept getting into fights, in and out of school because she promised herself she would never let anyone get away with disrespecting her. 


How did you get involved: Since Ava had always been around that type of thing, drugs, fights, all that good stuff she doesn’t really have a bad opinion about this sort of thing. A couple of months into moving to Seoul was when Ava realized the activities going on around her. The reason why it took so long was because she was stuck on her problem at school and it actually was on the day that she was expelled when she began to notice some of the cars certain kids had that sounded like they were possessed. But unlike her brother  and his two best friends, she wasn’t that entranced by them. It was 2 years later, when Ava had just graduated high school when her dad’s wood shop ran out of business. And  2 months later the family was hit with another blow, years of smoking resulted in Ava’s dad getting diagnosed with lung cancer. Mark was the most affected with learning about his dad’s lung cancer, all his time had been consumed by Street Lethal, but hearing this news gave him a new responsibly. He started to distance himself from Street Lethal and mainly focused on racing and his fights in the fight club. Anything to bring in extra money to his family. But it still wasn’t enough, he didn’t always win every race or every fight and his dad’s medical bills seemed to be getting more and more expensive so he decided to get Ava involved. 

Ava new what her brother was up to. She knew what he did and would cover up his lies. She had been working as a waitress to help out the family but was fully aware that it was not enough. When Mark came to her with the idea of her participating in the fight club she said hell no. Sure, Ava was used to getting into fights by then but the type of fighting they did in the ring was more than just throwing fists. In the end, Ava’s brother convinced her to join him as a member of Street Lethal since she didn’t want to participate in the fight rings. So, he taught her how to race. Ava actually never had an attraction to racing, sure the cars were nice but it never called to her until she got to experience what it was like. The thrill was what got to her. But, even though Ava found this new found love it turned out she wasn’t all that good. And that was when Ava caved in and began to participate in the fight ring. Mark began to teach Ava different fighting styles to help her out.  Ava is sometimes approached to lose some fights for a large amount of money and she usually takes up the offer. It worked out very well for Ava, she got the chance to bring in big money plus she managed to get out her anger. Even though Mark decided to leave Street Lethal since he decided his attention was needed somewhere else, his girlfriend was pregnant and he needed to start building a life for his new family, Ava decided to stay with Street Lethal as a member. 


Where do Your Loyalties lie: 

The Crew: [ ]

NOZ (Nitrous Oxide): [ ]

City Streets: [ ]

Street Lethal: [ X]

How is life with your team: Since Ava  isn't the best at racing, she's better at short races rather than long races she is always teased and that compltely pisses her off. Even though her older brother was the first member of Street Lethal the team doesn't give Ava any special treatment. The boys see Ava more as one of the guys rather than a little sister so they do tend to and play rough with her, but since she is one of the few members to still participate in the fight ring, they figure she can handle it. Mark's connections have become Ava's connections now so her role is to basically get anything that the team needs, new cars, extra tires, new engines whatever it may be. 

Occupation/Education: Ava is a student, she takes some classes at Soyu, a local community college along with some of the other team members to keep her parent's happy. Ava get's her money either from 10 second races and the fight ring. 

Family: 

Father | Park Hyun Ki | 49 | Does not work | Liberal, fun, loud, supportive, free spirited | Ava and her dad have a very good relationship. He made sure his kids were prepared for the world instead of protecting them from it so he trusts them completely. Ava was always close to her dad but once she found out about his cancer she became extra protective of him. She hopes to one day be able to buy him another shop so that he can have another goal at his dream. Even though his kids try their best to hide what they do and beleive that they have successfully kept the secret from their dad, Hyun Ki knows exactly what his kids are up to. 
Mother | Park Lena | 48 | Nurse | Stern, protective, stubborn, smart, | Ava and her mom had a more rocky relationship. Her mom didn't like how Ava was becoming more rebellious as she got older so they had many fights. Lena just wants her kids to have a better and more stable life. The past 3 years Ava's and Lena's relationship have gotten better. They both try to fight less. Even though Ava and her mom have had their differences, there is no doubt in Ava's mind that Lena is the strongest person she has seen. 

Older Brother | Park Dae Ho (Mark ) | 25 | Quick, responsible, easy going, charming | Mark is the person who Ava trusts the most, she knows he will never let her down. They have a very close relationship. They dot end to argue a lot, though. No ones escapes Ava's temper, including Mark.

She will burst out with random information in the middle of a conversation. She is also described as an ahjumma because of the way she talks. But she is also someone who does fight with depression. 

P.O/ Ava looks at P.O like a little brother. Even though he is one annoying mofo she can't be mad at him for too long. This kid is really something.

                                                                       Love Life



Love Interest: Kwon Ji Yong 

Jay Park

Bang Yongguk 


Personality: 

Relationship status: Single

How did you meet: Ava met Ji Yong when she went over to his body shop. Now this was both a huge mistake and incredibly dangerous since Street lethal and NOZ are rivals and almost ever see eye to eye but Ava heard on the streets that This guy who calls himself G Dragon is quite possibly the best at fixing up cars and Ava felt that her baby needed a new paint job. Why would she even make up her mind to go to the enemy and ask for help, you may ask, well because she wanted someone who would do a good job. She obviouslydidn't think this through. The majority of the members from Street Lethal don't really care that they have old paint jobs or dents in their cars but Ava knows when her car needs a little change. She was very careful in not alerting anyone to where she was planning to take her car. She had hoped that this guy would be reasonable but all that went out the window when he saw what he called dents and scratches on her car and refused to work on a car owned by someone who he claims has no consideration for their car but that he expected no less from someone from Street Lethal.  Ava said that atleast she didn't have any food stains on it and stomped out before she did something stupid like punch him in the face and cause a bigger problem. God, she hoped no oe ever found out about this. 



                                                     That's a Nice Set of Wheels



Car: 2010 Ford Mustang GT                                                                                    

                    



                                                                      Any Extras?



Questions/Concers/Comments: Nope

Anything else you want me to know: Nope

Any ideas you have for your role: Since gambling is becoming a problem for her, maybe have her be caught counting cards?

Hey there! Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about this apply fic. I just have a question. In regards to Min, Sunhwa, Zinger, and CL were you intending to have them as racers? Either in a gang mentioned, or not, or an independent racer? Or, you know, none of the above.

Okay, it's a wonderful application, but I'm gonna let you in on a few things. I already had plans for who's going to be Seunghyun's friend and co-founder, I do apologize. But, I can, if you're accepted, make it so Mark was a mutual friend of both Seunghyun and the other co-founder and was the first to join up (before it could really be considered a gang).
And for the love interest section, just to make sure, you don't know who you want as a lover/boyfriend/etc, correct?
