restugenos u awesome, so dedicated, this is hard as to write, i couldn't even finish it all in one sitting OTL

jiho: jiho when he's being himself, zico when he's being the leader

best traits: confident in his own abilities and skills, and makes a great leader because of it. though he's not always sure what the right thing to do is, he thinks fast and is almost always able to come up with a good solution. is incredibly creative and can create something from nothing in a very short time; despite his love for fans and fame, the creative process is his favorite part of being an idol.

flaws: uses his confidence to cover up his insecureties to the point that he seems cocky. he hates being seen as weak, because of a lifetime riddled with surgeries and illnesses, and so tries his hardest never to do "weak" things, like cry, not have a plan ready, or concede to someone else with more authority. he can only really be himself - a quiet, honest, poet-type teenage boy - when he's alone or around his childhood friend kyung; around everyone else, he holds onto his confident, brash, rapper persona.

kyung: kyung no matter what

best traits: is always smiling. willing to help anyone with anything; has a very motherly type personality and feels responsible for the well being of those around him. is very romantic and sees love as one of the most important things in life. gives good advice that is hopeful and optimistic without being unrealistic and is good at easing the tension and finding solutions in tough situations. makes nice even with people he doesn't necessarily like.

flaws: runs himself ragged trying to make everyone around him happy and bottles up his own feelings to take care of other people; it's hard to know he's mad at you until it's too late. finds it incredibly hard to confide in others, even jiho, and ask for help because he feels that their problems take presidence over his. often struggles with the feeling that he's more like jiho's second in command and less like his friend and wonders if he would have started rapping at all if not for him; is a follower who has trouble making his own decisions because he's afraid it will come out wrong.

jihoon: pyo as a nickname, jihoon for more serious moments

best traits: very bright and bubbly despite his tall and masculine appearence. almost naive, but is very quick to learn, and has an almost inherent, unspoken understanding of certain situations. unlike most people, he doesn't wish to be seen as an adult; he just wishes he was able to act his age without people thinking it was an aegyo act. he is very caring and will do pretty much anything to take care of his hyungs.

flaws: can be incredibly difficult if he doesn't get his way, because of his affluential background and the way his parents spoiled him when he was younger. in the same vein, he sometimes tends to make mountains out of molehills and freaks out about the strangest things. when he feels out of his element, he becomes very awkward and refuses help from anyone he doesn't know very well, trying to bumble through the situation on his own. his cuteness, because of its perceived fakeness, can sometimes be extremely annoying and hard to be around.

taeil: taeil most of the time, taeillie to those trying to annoy him

best traits: softspoken and stays out of other people's business. he doesn't coddle people with false placations, but will help out if someone confides in him. relies on logical thinking to get him through problems and is great at explaining things. an incredible singer who loves what he does. very easy to be around, because of his aversion to making a big deal of things, as long as you realize when he's joking.

flaws: has major self esteem problems and cannot accept a compliment. sometimes doesn't understand other people's feelings, especially when he's gone too far with a joke and hurts someone by accident. gets annoyed pretty easily and values alone time more than he enjoys the company of others. sometimes wonders why he even became an idol, as everything feels like too much pressure, but in the end doesn't regret it. hard to get close to, though he will defend you to the death once you're his friend. is very complex and doesn't understand his own feelings sometimes.

jaehyo: jaehyo usually, hyorange to those teasing him

best traits: doesn't have many worries or insecurities; is very simple and just goes with the flow. loves technology and can spend hours working on a problem or just surfing the net. realizes how attractive he is without flaunting it (except in a joking way) and sees the beauty in everyone else and  wishes they could feel the same. is very good at cheering people up because he's not afraid of making a fool of himself for a laugh.

flaws: sometimes doesn't understand the underlying theme or problem in a situation. is very absentminded, loses things very easily, and sometimes blames his own self made problems on other people because of forgetfullness. can be very possessive because he feels like he deserves what he has and no one should take that away from him. teases people mercilessly when he gets the chance to, just because he wants to see the tides turned. can sometimes make a compliment seem like an insult because it comes along with advice.
