Personality
Because aside from his actve avoidance of negativity, Baekhyun is really a very simple person. He's often times just not capable of understanding the bigger picture, or of thinking outside the box. The obvious answer is the only one he can conceptualize, and his world is very black and white because of it. This leads to him being a major drama llama over honestly ridiculous things as he's not capable of grasping anything other than what is immediately in front of him. Asking Baekhyun to be helpful in a tense situation is like asking a cat to fetch. It may occasionally happen, but you can be sure it wasn't in any way intentional.
At his core though, Baekhyun's greatest drive is an absolute terror of being alone. He's all but incapable of even vaguely resembling a productive human being if he doesn't have someone else nearby to keep him grounded. Baekhyun uses people as an emotional crutch, and more than that he's desperate to make himself likable. He is happy to do whatever asked so long as he doesn't have to be alone for any lengthy period of time. And while any person will work to keep his happy mask firmly in place, he is best when with close friends and family, because those are the ones he most fears will leave him. He's emotionally dependent, but is conversely very scared of making any meaningful connections for fear of getting hurt again, leading to an unhealthy oxymoronic life.
tl;dr - Very bright and friendly kid, always happy and trying to make friends, keeps a positive mindset because a negative one would give him an internal crisis of faith, terrified by the idea of being alone, can't focus on more than one thing at a time, thinks the obvious answer is the only one because he's bad at thinking outside the box, so pathetic he's endearing
Background
Shortly after Baekhyun's seventh birthday his parents divorced. Everyone around had seen it coming for a long time, but for Baekhyun it was a complete blindside. Even worse for the developing child, neither parents wanted to raise him for fear of it preventing them from starting their new lives without each other. And so Baekhyun ended up in the adoption system. At first he was confused, and tried to figure out why his parents didn't love him anymore. Finally he realized that he'd never listened to them about being a "proper little boy". And so he strove to fix himself.
However, as a seven year old, the chances of Baekhyun being picked up for adoption were extremely low. He did have a few interested parties, but nothing ever panned out. But Baekhyun was learning with each rejection. He learned that people liked little boys who were polite. They liked little boys that were cute. And most of all they liked little boys who were happy. And so he strove to stay cheerful in every situation, to show how perfect he was and how he deserved love. And by some miracle, at age ten, an older couple adopted him.
Beakhyun's life went uphill from there. His adoptive parents were sweet and supportive, and he remained cheerful and polite to make sure they'd keep loving him. His life went back to being quite normal, with the addition of him being a bit more clingy with his family. He made friends in school and was noted to be a very cheerful and friendly person, though some teachers also noted an inability to work by himself. But all in all his life was good again. Then one day, when he was seventeen years old, he was out shopping with his mother when a scout from Amuse Korea started chatting them up. His mother had always loved music, and when she heard that the scout thought Baekhyun could be an idol she became quite excited. It wasn't something that was too interesting to Baek, but he wanted to make his mother happy so he cheerfully agreed to an audition.
By some miracle, possibly his cute face and upbeat personality, he passed the audition and was offered a contract at Amuse Korea. He signed with no hesitation when he saw how proud his mother was, and when they told his father that night he was proud as well. But when training actually started, Baekhyun started to wonder if he'd made the right choice. He wasn't very good at singing, dancing, or rapping, and though he did his best improvement was slow. But when he got home after long, exhausting days of training and saw how excited his mother was to hear all about it he'd put on his signature smile and tell her it was wonderful. And so training continued, until two years later when he was placed in a project group and for the first time he actually became excited about the whole "idol" thing.
tl;dr - born in a regular middle class family, life was good (until the fire nation attacked) until his parents got divorced. Ended up in the adoption system for three years until a miracle happened and an older couple adopted him. Got into music at age 14 thanks to his mom and was scouted by Amuse Korea when he was 17. Training but his parents were so proud of him so he kept at it until he debuted at age 21.
Likes
♛ Cuddling, or any kind of physical contact
♛ Rapping, it's why it's his best skill - he put more effort into it rather than singing or dancing
♛ Memes, particuarly being one. He intentionally tries to be ridiculous when the cameras are on him in hopes a meme will be born
♛ Dogs! They're all the best boys!
♛ Crossdressing though he'd never admit how much he enjoys it. Dresses are just so flowy and fun!
Dislikes
♛ Crying in front of people (though he absolutely will if he wins)
♛ Talking about his mom much, her death still hurts and he hasn't really come to terms with it properly
♛ Fireworks - they're loud and suddent and it freaks him out
♛ He's terrified of bugs and will shriek and jump away if one gets near him
♛ Being alone
Habits
♛ If there's a drum beat he's tapping along to it
♛ Constantly running his hands through his hair - the stylists have given up on giving him any hairstyle other than ruffled because it's going to end up that way regardless
♛ He tends to lean on whoever is closes to him without really realizing what he's doing. He'll stop temporarily if asked but he always ends up falling over again at some point.
Hobbies
♛ He likes watching let's plays on Youtube - the more commentary the better
♛ He still plays pokemon go and if he's bored he'll whip out his phone and see which pokemon are around
♛ He's always trying to convince their manager to let them adopt and actual dog. He does it enough that it probably counts as a hobby at this point
Special talents
♛ If being able to walk up to literally anyone, anywhere, and start a conversation with them is a special talent then he can do that
♛ He can also do a somersault (basically he has no talents but he also has no shame so that tends to balance)
Random trivia
♛ His motto is "every cloud has a silver lining" and he clings to it for all he's worth
♛ Despite fitting certain stereotypes Baekhyun is actually straight, not that he's given romance all that much thought
♛ He hasn't been to his mother's grave since the funeral and he honestly isn't ready to go see it - he still really hasn't taken time to sit down and mourn
♛ He is a massive once. LIke, he's got all the merch, the records, everything. If he meets a twice member he's going to probably faint from hyperventillating in excitement, the boy is a hot mess for those girls
Yoon Jeong-Hee
Adoptive Mother ♛ Lee Hyomin ♛ 67 at death ♛ Elementary School Teacher ♛ Clever, witty, controlling, Extroverted, Loving ♛ 10/10
Hyomin was a bright, enthusiastic woman who did everything as if there was a fire under her . Nothing was boring around Lee Hyomin, as she went out of her way to make it as ridiculous as humanly possible. She had a knack for humor and socializing, and both worked to her favor with her elementary students. This is the part that Baekhyun loves to remember, the woman who affectionately refered to him as her "little Beagle" and acted out his bedtime stories. But Hyomin was also a highly controlling and borderline manipulative woman who wasn't afraid to hit below the belt to get what she wanted.
Baekhyun adored his mother with every fiber of his being, and she adored him right back. He always tried, and still tries, to emulate her in every situation and to do everything in his power to make her happy. He held her on a pedestal and she never did anything to change it. She did love him dearly though, and under everything she genuinely wanted him to be happy - she just tended to lose sight of what were her dreams and what were his. Though to be fair, so did he.
Baek Yun-shik
Father ♛ Cho Nohil ♛ 71 ♛ Retired School Counselor ♛ Quiet, observant, Laid-back, Passive, People-oriented ♛ 6/10
Nohil is a very quiet man, especially when compared to his wife of 27 years. He's a thinker more than a doer, preferring to watch life go by and enjoy it while he can. He's not particularly motivated, but he does what he likes and puts in effort to make people around him happy. He's a family man at heart and he's happiest when taking care of those he's closest to.
Baekhyun loves his dad, but they never connected the way he did with his mother. Nohil of course cares about his son very deeply and tries to take care of him in small ways, such as calling him at all hours of the day if he seems stressed or tired in his interviews (and Nohil makes sure to watch every single one - he even learned how to use TVO to make sure he could record anything he might miss) and sending small care packages. Nohil recognizes a lot of Baekhyun's problems, but isn't sure how to approach his son after years of minimal communication.
NCT Doyoung
Groupmate ♛ Kim Habin ♛ 22 ♛ Idol ♛ Cocky, Determined, Generally loud, Whiny ♛ 7/10
Habin is the maknae of the group by a wide margin so the entire group tends to look after him like a little brother. BAekhyun especially loves fussing over him though Habin appreciates it a whole lot less now that he did back when he was a teenager. Habin is also the recently promoted main vocalist of the group, though they haven't had a comeback in which he can really flaunt his new position, which he's incredibly proud of. He's also the group's visual though they aren't a very pretty group to begin with. He's still equally annoyingly proud of being the prettiest though. (High4 Twin: Myunghan)
Winner Seungyoon
Groupmate ♛ Han Yein ♛ 25 ♛ Idol ♛ Relaxed, Friendly, Passive, Gullible ♛ 9/10
Yein, stagename Bass, is easily Baek's best friend in the group. Aside from being closest in age they also were in Helix's sub-unit Double Strand together so they've gotten to know each other quite well. Yein is very easy going and is always ready and willing to give Baekhyun the attention that he contstantly needs. Since Woosik's departure he's become the group leader. (High4 TWin: Alex)
cnblue Jungshin
Former Groupmate ♛ Oh Woosik ♛ 28 ♛ Vocal Coach ♛ Passionate, Just, Anxious, Tired ♛ 5/10
When he was still with Helix Baekhyun adored the group's main vocal and leader. He was just, considerate, and easily the most passionate about being an idol of them all, having trained in multiple companies across eight years. But come 2016 Woosik was finally starting to get tired. and Then the company informed them they would be going on an unofficial hiatus, "perhaps we could do a sub-unit?", and that was the final straw that broke him. He'd had an offer from another company to be a vocal coach, and he formally handed in his resignation from Amuse Korea, determined to start a new life before it was too late and the idol world had completely ruined everything he had. He was very open with his group about his decision but both Baekhyun and Habin were and remain quite hurt by his choice. Yein isn't happy either, but he's more understanding of where Woosik came from. Either way Wooshik hasn't maintained much contact with his groupmates since the split. (High 4 Twin: Sunggu)

Trainee and idol life
As a trainee Baekhyun was known for being cheerful, but also for being pretty flighty. He never stuck with one group, jumping around between friends on a regular basis (mostly so he could tell his mom about as many "friends" as he could so she wouldn't worry about his social life being ruined by his training). So when he was put in a project group, he actually made his first real friends in years. He ended up attached to the others, and was their biggest cheerleader even before they officially debuted. He wanted the group to succeed (for his mom) so he did everything in his power to make sure that would happen. And when they finally released their debut song Headache he felt like he was really accomplishing something great.
Then the debut song completely bombed, and Baekhyun was heartbroken. Nonetheless he soldiered on as best he could, practicing for their next comeback and talking to his mom every night to remind himself why being an idol is so important. And then one night his mother didn't pick up, and Baek was left with no one. It was a rough two months, and his groupmates did what they could to help him through his grieving process. He managed to pull himself together by the skin of his teeth in time for their next comeback, and although that failed miserably as well he had new determination. He had to succeed for the memory of his mother. No matter what. So when, after a nearly 2 year hiatus following several more failed comebacks, the opportunity to go onto Lost Legends was offered Baek jumped at the chance. He had to save his group.
