Pick one character from any of your fanfic and answer the questions about him/her.

You can answer these questions as many times, but one set for one particular character.

Alright, let's go with my favourite - straight/soreloser!Jiyong (his OC name being “Lucifer Tsang”) who is the villain/antagonist of the Seungri (OC name of “Thierry Jean”) x Mihyo (OC name of “Myna Seo”) arc. He is loosely based on “G-Dragon” Kwon Jiyong, but more so in terms of appearance and position in society, and not so much his personality (because I doubt GD would be hyper or smart enough to do half the he does).

1. What do you know about this character now that s/he doesn't yet know?
He knows it but has yet to fully realise that this is the motivation and reason behind all his actions and meddling - Lucifer is, as a matter of fact, in love with Thierry. Not Myna.

2. What is this character's greatest flaw?
Lucifer has several flaws – being selfish, proud, rude, unfaithful, backstabbing, a traitor, having zero morals, manipulating those who care about him along with their feelings, using people, and much more. It actually seems to be that his attractive appearance is his only good point (not necessarily true, though). However, I would say that Lucifer’s greatest flaw is the fact that he’s really not as smart as he thinks he is, yet kind of still is. It’s like those people you knew in school who seemed so ditzy, gullible and just plain ing stupid, but actually turned out to be the year’s Valedictorian with effortless top marks in everything. Similarly, Lucifer can be so cunning and sly when it comes to his schemes, but he’s so stupid that he thinks he can force his feelings to change if he just believes and pretends to be the way he wants to be. Case in point example: he goes around trying to proclaim his desire for Myna in an attempt to force himself to have feelings for Myna instead of Thierry – proving he does actually know the truth. In that sense, Lucifer’s other greatest flaw is yet another contradictive – he can be so brazen-faced, shameless and forceful, but is actually an absolute coward in refusing to confront or accept the truth of his feelings.

3. What do you know about this character that s/he would never admit?
I would say his true feelings, but I know Lucifer’s going to burst like a dam someday. I would say…something that’s really trivial, like a silly habit, but personally embarrasses and mortifies him because he’s so proud of his manly man swag status or something. Ah, actually no – there is something canon along this line in the forecoming stories (but it’s not necessarily embarrassing).

Something I know about Lucifer that he would never admit is something again contradictory. In Lucifer’s character/fanbase profile it should state that he despises sweet foods, as he goes around proclaiming his detest of such. This is actually not entirely true – yes, Lucifer greatly dislikes sweets. He emphasises and goes around saying this to refuse all his fangirls’ chocolates sent to him on Valentine’s Day to look like a “cool heartbreaker”. However – Thierry brings him Peppero over from a trip to South Korea (“Look, Luciel! Fake Korean Pocky!”) as a present to cheer Lucifer up when his suicidal depression takes over quite severely one year. Lucifer, on the verge of realising his feelings for Thierry, doesn’t have the heart to refuse or diminish his best friend’s efforts and earnest attempt to help his state in any form possible. He accepts and (as willingly as possible) eats the candy, trying not to vomit after every bite.

In short – Lucifer does indeed hate sweets, but can actually withstand the taste for the sake of those he cares about.

4. What is this character's greatest asset?
Lucifer’s greatest asset would have to be the fact that he is hard-working and never, ever gives up. He’s determined to achieve what he wants and shape his life the way he believes it should be. No matter how selfish, impossible or inconvenient it may seem, what Lucifer wants, Lucifer gets.

5. If this character could choose a different identity, who would s/he be?
Lucifer is so self-centered and seemingly adoring of himself that he wouldn’t change himself or his identity for the world. Maybe Superman or something LOL.

6. What music does this character sing when no one else is around?
Since Lucifer, similar to the real Kwon Jiyong, is the leader of an extremely successful music group, The AZN Party. He is highly skilled in music, and is definitely not one to shy away from the mic. So what I’m saying is that Lucifer sings often. However – the difference this question poses is whether or not he can sing certain songs around others.

Due to his erratic and selfish behaviour, I view Lucifer as a bratty kid who never grew up, even when in his twenties. Therefore, I can see him sometimes doing some child-like and somewhat lonely things by himself when no one is around, such as quietly singing little rhymes or songs he learnt during his childhood to cheer himself up or keep him from feeling abandoned or unloved.

7. In what or whom does this character have the greatest faith?
In all honesty, I would have to say himself. He just views everyone around him as a nameless, faceless doll to manipulate into action whenever he finds a use for them. The masses mean all to him, and those close to him are the ones he trusts the least since they have the strongest potential to deal the most damage were they ever to him over. Lucifer believes that the only one you can rely on is yourself.

8. What is this character's favourite movie?
Hmmm. I imagine Lucifer wouldn’t have much time nor the attention span to sit still and stare at a screen for 90 minutes plus. However, I think he would have some select favourites that artistically fascinate and resonate within him. I had a think, and I would say Kiss of the Spiderwoman. I get this feeling if asked why, Lucifer would play dumb and say “because the girl’s pretty and the guys’ friendship is really cool”, like he hadn’t watched until the end (Lucifer thinks watching TV makes him sound uncool) and didn’t know the two male prisoners’ relationship becomes romantic and is consummated. However, in actuality, it is because of the fact that Molina and Valentin become so close that their relationship also naturally turns romantic that Kiss of the Spiderwoman really strikes a chord within Lucifer in terms of him and Thierry [SPOILER]. Lucifer does also actually admire the femme fatale and film noir feel of the film.

9. Does this character have a favorite article of clothing? Favorite shoes?
Also similar to G-Druggin’, Lucifer adores fashion – particularly high fashion. Unlike GD, who claims to not discriminate against low end brands and accepts anything he’s fond of, Lucifer is forever a snob and sticks strictly to the traditional luxury labels. However, his favourite article of clothing would actually be the industry coat he used to wear when he worked in a coal factory as a teenager – the same coat he personally hand-customised and modified to wear at his debut stage.

10. Does this character have a vice? Name it.
Every single one of the seven sins. Rude. Cocky. Overconfident. Self-centered. Narcissistic. Shameless. Proud. Disloyal. A cheat. A backstabber. A traitor. Selfish. Delusional. Greedy. Manipulative. Heartless. A show off. Full of himself. Harsh. Cruel. Cold. Two-faced. Sly. Annoying. Sadistic. Violent. Aggressive. There’s probably more.

11. Name this character's favorite person (living or dead).
Undoubtedy, Thierry [FUTURE SPOILER].

12. What is this character's secret wish?
To not be alone. To be loved for who he is, not just by the millions of fans who have no idea who he truly is. Not just by the masses of women who only see his striking looks and bank account statement. And certainly not out of pity.

13. What is this character's proudest achievement?
Making it this far and showing off his skills to the world. Lucifer’s success is the only real thing that personally gives his existence any meaning. He would be absolutely nothing without his talent.

14. Describe this character's most embarrassing moment.
Lucifer literally feels zero shame and is so full of himself that it’s hard to imagine any sort of situation that would personally be embarrassing for him. It would have to be something that deeply mortified him and his image of himself.

I think it would be an incident where he was clumsy or did something really “uncool” by accident. I’m imagining something like where he slips or trips by accident, and ends up falling in a pool or something, and it’s caught on camera for TV, which quickly goes viral. All the girls go crazy and scream at the sight of a drenched, dripping wet Lucifer and the cute, adorable clumsiness of the leader, and as he emerges from the pool, he says something smooth like, “Guess it’s a good excuse as any for me to show off my six pack, right?” So then the fans get even more worked up at the sight of a shirtless, soaked Lucifer. HOWEVER – inwardly, he’s dying a slow and painful death of ultimate mortification at doing something so unbelievably stupid (and actually so like him – Lucifer is really quite clumsy) such as tripping AND ON NATIONAL TELEVISION AT THAT. His manager laughs and congratulates him on his smooth recovery of “coolness”. But the next day, Lucifer sits at home in his penthouse, furiously scanning social media and all the video comments to ensure his “cool” reputation is not up in smoke, and to instant replay the moment of total mortification over and over to re-analyse his every move LOL.

15. What is this character's deepest regret?
Even though he knew it was for the best for both of them and the truth, pushing away Thierry after he rejects Lucifer’s confession [FUTURE SPOILER].

16. What is this character's greatest fear?
Dying alone, forgotten and meaningless to anything or anyone, no matter how much work he’s put into his career or “attempts” at relationships.

17. Describe this character's most devastating moment.
Forcing himself to exile Thierry from his life forever after Lucifer was rejected by him.

18. Greatest achievement.
I suppose Lucifer’s personal proudest achievement does somewhat differ to his greatest achievement in terms of his development of character. I would say his greatest achievement would be accepting the truth of his feelings and then getting it together to confess to Thierry, even knowing the outcome would be negative [FUTURE SPOILER].

19. Greatest hope.
The greatest and most unlikely hope Lucifer has is Thierry will one day reciprocate and return his feelings. However, Lucifer himself knows best that it would be something of a miracle, and is probably the only impossible thing for him to ever attempt to achieve.

20. Obsession.
Thierry, but more specifically, the pursuit of Lucifer’s genuine, true, final, one love/other half – whoever that may be.

21. Greatest disappointment.
Thierry’s rejection. Lucifer knew it was coming, but actually hearing it from him in the flesh absolutely killed him.

22. Worst nightmare.
Losing everything and everyone; becoming a nobody with nothing to his name.

23. Whom does this character most wish to please? Why?
Before the Confession AKA [FUTURE SPOILERS] arc, 100% Thierry. Anything and everything Lucifer did involving Myna was an attempt to impress or please Thierry. Not even that – anything Lucifer did related to Thierry in any form was always to make Thierry happy. After the Confession Arc, since Thierry is no longer in his life, Lucifer reverts to being a selfish, heartbroken bastard only intent on pleasing himself and himself only.

24. Describe this character's mother.
Both of Lucifer’s parents died in a car accident when Lucifer was young; too young to form or process any memories – he therefore knows nothing of them. He was placed in a care home, but ran away several years later, burning and leaving behind any trace of himself or what he could have found of his family. Lucifer survived on the streets, equally fighting and joining gangs throughout his childhood. Penniless and constantly starving, Lucifer worked in manual labour to earn a form of a living – hence owning an industry coat from working in factories. When he wasn’t at his jobs, Lucifer would busk on the streets, singing and dancing. He became infamous in the underground music scene, but soon enough, sometime during his early teenage years, a certain music company CEO (cough YG replica cough) scouted him. Said CEO held the intent of grooming him into showbiz’s finest performer with a core of such natural, raw talent, along with promises of a safe place to stay and life’s necessities without having to sweat it in a mineral factory. Lucifer immediately accepted, and the rest was history, with Lucifer rising to the top instantly upon debut as leader of The AZN Pardy, his five member musical group (of which included some of his fellow underground musicians). Leading such a luxurious life of fame and fortune for many years, Lucifer takes great pride in the fact that he came from nothing, hence wearing his industry coat at his debut stage on TV. However, the irony of the matter is that his family was actually already incredibly wealthy; old money deeply rooted in high society. Lucifer doesn’t have a single clue regarding this, since he swore never to turn back to his family’s origin the day he leapt out the window in his room at the care home. 

25. And father.
Same as above. However, since the president took Lucifer in when he was so young, and looked after him and treated him so well as such an apparent favourite with high hopes, Lucifer considers him somewhat a father figure, despite his cold heart and greedy intentions. Similarly, the money-obsessed CEO raised Lucifer like his own son since he had no children, installing Lucifer’s further jaded values and lack of morals. The two make a good team, and they both know they’re never going to stop making dollar for as long as they’re in the business.

26. If s/he had to choose, with whom would this character prefer to live?
With Thierry. Undoubtedly. Unfortunately, since that’s 100% impossible, at every single one of his penthouses, mansions and villas around the world, Lucifer remains living alone.

27. Birth order, and effect of that.
Only child. Perhaps things would have turned out differently if Lucifer had an elder sibling to take care of him and raise him properly; to teach him responsibilities and about making the right choices. However, since Lucifer was alone, he went and did his own thing. It’s probably for the best that way, otherwise there would be no story - and certainly no success.

28. Describe siblings or other close relatives.
Since there’s zero siblings and zero relatives, let’s talk more on the CEO. Head of Ying&Yang Records, the president raised Lucifer into the man he is today. The president is the one who taught Lucifer to have such a cold, calculative mindset of manipulating every single person he can use, yet  to keep a cool and charming exterior. The president cited it the secret to success. However, Lucifer learned so quickly and efficiently because, having toughed it out on the streets from a young age and worked his way up, he had already twigged it’s better to leave the world as an than as a doormat. The two immensely emphasise their relationship as an affectionate father-son relationship to the public, to gain increasing attention and adoration from the fans. Then, behind closed doors and between themselves, they insist to one another their relationship is business and gain-gain only. However, the truth is that the two truly have developed a parent-child bond with one another. This may be due to the value Lucifer now holds as an international superstar to the president and the company, or also due to the fact that the CEO took Lucifer in when young and made him to be who he is in the present, practically a surrogate father figure. Regardless, it’s a pretty good relationship.

29. Bedroom. Three cherished items.
Out of all of his various houses around the world, Lucifer’s favourite is his skyscraper penthouse in his hometown of Hong Kong in Central. The penthouse is sparsely decorated with bare walls and minimalist statement artwork, emphasising more on the glass views of the sparkling city below. Similarly, his bedroom is also pretty close to an empty space – a rounded oval of a room zooming in on the ice white super king size bed in the middle. On the lone bedside table on the right side of the bed (also white) sits a little hinged wooden box with a lock on it – cherished item number 1. The box has a white porcelain heart stuck on the lid of the box, with the words “Friends are like stars – you don’t have to see them to know they are there” engraved on it (ironically, Lucifer keeps the box in his Hong Kong penthouse not only because is it his favourite house and hometown, but because one cannot actually see the stars in the sky in downtown Hong Kong due to the extreme levels of pollution). The box is a gift from Mark (AKA T.O.P lmao), fellow The AZN Party member and also previous underground rapper who has known Lucifer from when they lived on the streets. The two frequently worked together in finding ways to survive, and often bunked next to one another at night – leading them both to refer to each other as their ‘childhood neighbour’ when older. When Lucifer was struck with radical depression quite a few years after the debut of The AZN Party, Mark gave him the box that very same Christmas. Despite not knowing anything about or even beginning to understand depression due to his if-you-don’t-laugh-you-cry attitude, he gifted the box to Lucifer to show that he was always there for his childhood neighbour no matter what. After recovering, Lucifer found the box to be something very dear to him. He keeps papers and mementos inside the box, which bring us to cherished item 2 – if all of the items can be classified as that. This includes his first backstage performer pass at his first concert, medical certification papers for his first tattoo, ex-girlfriends’ addresses haphazardly scrawled on scraps of paper from one of his first songbooks, a letter from Judas (fellow The AZN Pardy member whom he met during his trainee days and therefore refers to as his ‘classmate’ (AKA Youngbae lol)) on his first birthday as a trainee, a key long forgotten as to what or where exactly it unlocks, and several other items of memorabilia such as notes, tickets, and the like. Cherished item 3 sits between the lone bedside on the right of the bed and the bed itself. Hidden under the snow-like blanket of a duvet, lies a Beretta92 – Lucifer’s first ever gun. He used the weapon continuously through his childhood when living on the streets, and trusts it to death to protect him. 

30. Birthdate, and does this character manifest traits of astrological sign?
Lucifer learnt in the care home from his medical records that his birthday is August 9^th. However, in an attempt to remove every trace of his family ties, Lucifer pretends not to know what the date of his birthday is. Upon feigning ignorance to the president on this topic as a young trainee, the president immediately devised a new birthdate for him. The president decided July 7^th was to be Lucifer Tsang’s official ‘lucky’ birthday, gimmick marketing his decision as, “the world’s favourite numbers for the world’s favourite musical prodigy”.  Unsurprisingly, the president’s equally lucky prediction immediately became true upon Lucifer’s debut. Nobody but the CEO, Lucifer and Mark (Lucifer told Mark when they were younger that he had ‘no birthday’) know that July 7^th is not Lucifer’s real birthday. Lucifer is the only one who knows when his real birthday is, no matter how hard he tries to forget the date or trace of his origin. Accordingly, Lucifer doesn’t care much for his birthday, real date or otherwise. However, he is forced by the president to celebrate his fake birthdate every year to gain as much hype as possible on social media from fans and fellow artists.

Trivia: Lucifer’s birthdate is the second alteration of his personal details decided by the president - his first alteration being Lucifer’s last name of ‘Tsang’ (since he also threw away his last name upon abandoning his family ties). The president chose ‘Tsang’, partly because it was a fairly common enough name in Hong Kong and wouldn’t seem fake, but mainly because it rhymed with the ‘Yang’ in ‘Ying&Yang Records’; further endorsing company gimmicks and advertisements.

31. Six months of seclusion, name six items to bring.
Studio mic to record his hit tracks, laptop to edit and release said hit tracks, guitar to experiment with sounds and ideas, phone to broadcast six months of seclusion for Lucifer Tsang (#s!xclusion) on every single social media platform, absinthe to help the creativity flow, and Thierry because Lucifer and Thierry.

32. Why is this character angry?
He feels so unlovable, especially after getting rejected by Thierry. Coincidentally, Lucifer is also especially angry at Thierry for rejecting him and not returning such ardent feelings. He also feels angry at himself for making himself so unlovable in that the only thing people seem to love about him are his looks, fortune and fame because he was the one who emphasised such values in the first place.

33. What calms this character?
That moment when he’s finished mixing a track - the vocals, instrumental and effects have been tweaked to perfection, and it’s all just come together to form the final, flawless end product.

34. Recurring dream or nightmare.
[Before the Confession Arc] Lucifer sometimes has reoccurring nightmares with the same continuous theme for a minimum of 4 consecutive nights. He senses his other half (ultimate/final lover for life) in the dream, but never sees them. Every time he tries to turn to them or go after them or talk to them, his other half ignores him and constantly tries to disappear.

[After the Confession Arc] Lucifer occasionally has the odd nightmare about Thierry. Sometimes he sees Thierry and faces him head-on, sometimes he pretends not to see Thierry and runs away, and sometimes it’s just a memory of Lucifer and Thierry together. Throughout every dream/nightmare Lucifer has of Thierry, Thierry is always angry and upset at Lucifer for ‘leaving him behind’, and wants to talk to Lucifer about it. However, in every single dream of Thierry, Lucifer finds he is unable to speak.

35. Choices, not circumstances, which led character to current predicament.
Since the current predicament is after the Confession Arc, the most obvious choice Lucifer made was choosing to confess to Thierry that led him to the current predicament of losing Thierry.

36. Circumstances over which this character has no control.
Thierry’s feelings, or rather, lack of feelings, for Lucifer. Also, when or how Lucifer will ever meet his other half.

37. What wakes this character in the middle of the night?
During that one year, his depression. Nowadays, however, it’s either the CEO alerting him of an impending PR crisis regarding the group, Mark drunk dialling with an insistent request that they do nothing but drink wine and eat ice cream in their next music video, or Judas calling to tell Lucifer to wake the up and get his downtown already because they’re about to do some seriously crazy within the hour, and he wouldn’t want to miss out, would he?

38. How would a stranger describe this character?
It depends who the stranger is. The typical male would give an envious portrayal of ‘a douche, such a , so gay, is like the Asian Kanye West, can’t even sing/rap/dance/compose/produce, zero talent, annoying, needs to shut the up’. In comparison, the typical female would give an overwhelmed portrayal of ‘so hot, so talented, such a great singer/rapper/dancer/composer/producer, y as hell, so funny, amazing body, heartbreaker, great style, so cool’. It all just depends.

39. What does this character resolve to do differently every morning?
On his days off; try to sleep in longer. Due to his hectic schedule, Lucifer is accustomed to running on little to no sleep. Because of this, on the rare day off where he hasn’t gone to bed in the early hours of the morning and then been forced to wake up practically an hour later, Lucifer finds it hard to sleep for longer. He tends to wake up early even if he has nothing planned, when he really knows it’d be better for his health if he could try to continue sleeping. However, since Lucifer is so restless, once he’s awake, he seldom goes back to sleep.

40. Who depends on this character? Why?
The CEO, not only as his pride and joy, drawing in the most/an unbelievably large amount of income to the company, but also as his only “son”. All members of the The AZN Pardy not only as the figure of “leader”, but also on behind the scenes work as producer, lyricist, composer, mixer, and unofficial stylist. And finally, Lucifer himself. As Seungri would say, yes, he’s had a lot of help from a lot of different people, but at the end of the day, it’s all thanks to him – it certainly wouldn’t be possible without him.

41. If this character knew s/he had exactly one month to live, what would s/he do?
Not much. Probably blow all his money. Party even more than ever before. Do some crazy like go skydiving, or break as many laws as possible. Do whatever the he felt like doing – the only thing he’d have left to his name after would be the legendary legacy of Lucifer Tsang. And, of course, without a single doubt – find Thierry and spend every last second of his final month with him.

42. How would a dear friend or relative describe this character?
I’m guessing either the CEO or The AZN Party members would be the only ones to qualify for this category. As a general opinion (since each individual would have something different to say about him) they would probably emphasise his all-rounder talent, how he’s an unstoppable force, absolutely one of a kind, a very strong/tough person, and somebody incredibly valuable not only to them, but to modern society.

43. What is this character's most noticeable physical attribute?
His front-facing profile shot in general. From the chocolate-almost-hazel eyes larger than life itself, to his constantly changing hair, down to his full, bruise-like lips and the sharply protruding collarbones, the hollowed cheekbones, the cutting jawline, then back up to the slightly crooked nose (broken twice in fights when he was living on the streets, but refused to get cosmetic surgery because yet again proud of his survival).

44. What is this character hiding from him/herself?
His earnest desire to find his true other half, along with the fear that he might never find them.

45. Write one additional thing about your character.
[ULTIMATE MAJOR SPOILERS OMGF no but seriously there are extreme spoilers that have yet to be thought out properly but will be ing awesome if weaved in cleverly enough]

Lucifer’s parents are, in fact, not dead. They faked their own deaths in order to flee society and return to the underworld of organised crime. With them, they took Lucifer’s identical twin brother to lead a life in underworld – leaving the other to lead a life in “everyday” society. Again, since Lucifer was too young to form any memories, he has no idea that he has a brother, let alone an identical twin brother. Lucifer also has a younger sister, who was born two years after their parents disappeared. If this concept is introduced, it will be through his parents deciding to retrieve Lucifer to bring him back together for a ‘family reunion’.

This might be an AU separate story, but it’s a pretty interesting concept already by itself simply added on to the same story; “Unrequited love – it really does go from bad to worse when you next receive a call from the dead…”
