APPEARANCE

despite being of average height, most of isaiah's height is in his legs. isaiah's hair is naturally a dark brown almost black color and hasn't dyed it at all in his life. he prefers to keep it that way, but he is open to dying it (since it's inevitable after all). isaiah is known for his sparkling eyes and soft dimples, features that everyone loves about him. his body is kept in good condition from working out, nice abs and whatnot that he keeps hidden under his clothes.

if talking about extra features, isaiah's body is bare of tattoos. maybe one day in the future he'll get one if he has a story to get one. his ears are pierced a few times in which he'll either put in simple studs or boring loops.

despite his body being bare of tattoos, isaiah is not bare from scars. his fingers and hands are littered with scars from biting them when he didn't have pillows. most of the scars aren't noticeable unless in light, but he usually puts heavy duty foundation on the deeper scars.

STYLE

isaiah's fashion style is very simple. he honestly doesn't care about he wears, but he knows not to look hobo. pastels are a major staple in his closet along with simple sweaters and jeans.

PERSONALITY

​​​​​​POS　mature, observant, altruistic, dedicated
​​​​​​NEU　paternal, quiet, mellow
NEG　forgetful, stubborn, perfectionist, awkward

at first sight, isaiah is a mature young man. he is determined to do whatever he can to keep people from falling out into silly arguments and nonsense. he's happy to listen to new and challenging ideas and view points without accepting or rejecting them blindly. isaiah is definitely quick notice things when they happen. it's like he has eyes in the back of his head, being able to know someone behind him even when they are trying to sneak up on him. extremely selfless, that is what isaiah is. all he wants is everyone's happiness and nothing in return. because everyone's happiness is his happiness. whenever isaiah's given a specific task, he becomes dedicated to the project. whether it's coming up with new choreography or simply doing the dishes, nothing will stop him until he gets done with the job.

because of being a big brother to three siblings, isaiah developed a fatherly attitude when comes to people younger than him (whose he kidding, he acts like a dad to the older members too). giving advice, always being there for members when times are tough, the total dad package. isaiah is a very quiet person, hardly ever making noise or announcing his presence every time he walks into a room. he prefers to keep to himself and let people naturally find and seek him out rather than make himself known. underneath his motherly exterior, he's actually a soft guy, mellowed out by his early maturity. he lets things go with the flow (unless something disrupts the flow, then he'll go and fix the problem) and hardly lets things anger him.

despite his maturity, isaiah is very clumsy and forgetful. do not leave anything precious or breakable in his hands as they will break one way or another. he has gotten better keeping his butter fingers from ruining things, but he tends to forget his own clumsiness whenever he sees something pretty. isaiah is definitely stubborn. there are a lot of times when his stubborness gets in the way like whenever he really DOES need help, but refuses to ask for help. he's stubborn like that. isaiah is very much a perfectionist. if one little thing is misplaced, he will do whatever it takes to put it back in it's place. because of his forgetfulness, he does tend to be a rather awkward person. especially when he forgets about certain things he was told about and when you go to talk to him about it, he'll stand there with a blank face until you give him all the information. he doesn't know where his forgetfulness comes from as he is only twenty-three.

BACKGROUND

isaiah lim was born in fairfax, ia to a loving beta couple. he was their first born, both betas loving him instantly. his birth wasn't the only one and soon enough, the family grew larger and making isaiah the oldest brother of two sisters and one brother.

as isaiah grew up, he learned of the world's secondary genders, but he honestly didn't care. a person is a person, no matter their gender. even after finding out his own, he still didn't care. though he family was surprised at him being an alpha, because his parents were betas from families of betas. but isaiah knew this wouldn't change him. he wasn't going to let being an alpha change his entire being.

as he continued to grow, isaiah was the perfect son and brother to his siblings. he studied his best in school and was always there for his siblings.

despite studying, isaiah grew to love dancing. he was always dancing as a child that his parents thought it would be a great idea to take him to dance classes. that's when isaiah's ballet background began. for years, he took ballet and soon enough other types of dance.

it wasn't a surprise when rapping became another dream of his. rapping became a natural ease when he danced as it helped him keep the flow and tempo.

his family were amazed every time they saw him on stage at dance recitals and it wasn't until the family went to a korean cultural festival that isaiah was really introduced to the world of kpop.

the music drew him in, he could feel his body wanting to dance along with the music. he watched the big screens showing groups doing intricate dances and he was sold. this was his dream all in one.

being a kpop idol would be able to showcase his skills to the world. be the reason for fans to smile. that was his dream.

and when he began to look up ways to fulfill his dream, it was answered with one global audition from royce corp.

»　 his lips ... like all the time

»　biting his fingers and hands when he has no pillows during his ruts (to keep him quiet)

»　chewing on the ends of his pens and pencils

FEARS

»　losing his family ... this is the one major thing he is afraid of the most

»　losing his control on his alpha instincts. he may have the best control out of most alphas, but he still has a fear that he'll lose control one day

»　any of the members of elite getting hurt and or jumped (especially if it's the omega members)

TALENTS

»　control of his alpha scent. the pine in his scent is his alpha scent and he can mask it with his sandalwood scent which makes people think he's a beta.

»　dancing without music ... it's like he has his own music playing in his head.

»　ballet, he was one of the best dancers in his class.

»　the fixer upper of elite. whenever something breaks, the members go to isaiah cause he can fix anything.

TRIVIA

»　isaiah was a early bird when it came to him learning his sub gender. he was thirteen when he woke up one morning to the beginning of a rut.

»　unlike most alphas, he actually gets embarrassed of his ruts as he doesn't  like being reminded of his sub gender.

»　he knows when his ruts are coming, he feels it a week in advance. he'll close in on himself and lock himself up so the omegas of myth won't have to see him so weak to his hormones.

»　he is actually sensitive to scents so he can sense whenever an omega is about to go into heat or an alpha going into a rut even days before they know. he's pretty good at letting them know early on so they can plan ahead.

»　despite being one of the older members of elite, isaiah becomes flustered whenever he senses an omega in heat. he doesn't know why he turns red as a tomato when the scent hits his nose, but it does.

»　doesn't like showing too much skin despite the fact that he works out on a daily basis and has the muscles to show off. he just doesn't like to show off.

»　another reason as for why isaiah doesn't like his ruts is because he's particularly loud while rutting. he has ruined a lot of pillows during his ruts from trying to keep himself quiet. #rippillows

»　before isaiah told them that he was an alpha, many members thought he really was a beta.

»　the maknae line are his precious babies (even though they get into so much trouble).

»　hates cucumbers with a passion. they make him gag.

»　isaiah is one of the mediators of the group. whenever there is a discord between the members, he steps in with a calm demeanor and resolves as quickly as he can.

»　carries a pack of post-it notes to help him remember things. he also leaves post-it notes everywhere in the dorm as well.

»　the members absolutely love it when isaiah speaks english. he doesn't know why, but they do.

»　he tried being a vegetarian before, but he loves meat too much so he stopped.

»　carries around medicine and extra snacks wherever he goes just in case the members need anything or get hungry.

»　prefers white chocolate over dark chocolate.

»　if isaiah didn't want to become an idol, he would either want to continue his ballet classes or become a daycare teacher.

»　has a big appetite due to his fast metabolism. usually always found with food.

»　he's very interested in choreography, usually is the one to go for since he learns choreography very easily.

»　prefers to dance barefoot.

»　tendency to smile through his pain.

»　fully supports lgbt+ and also a big supporter of sub gender equality.

»　his eyesight is good, but it strains when it comes to small fonts so he carries reading glasses on him when fonts are too small.

»　looks completely different when he wears makeup and is extremely handsome. without makeup, he's a soft dad.

»　turns into a different person when he dances. he can do y and sensual dances with ease which contradicts his personality.

»　isaiah has two social media accounts: facebook (which is under his english name) & instagram under @softdadsh. his facebook is private and only used for his family, so it's been under hiatus mostly since training in korea. his instagram is mostly filled with pictures of the members with only a few selcas of himself.

RELATIONSHIPS

HENRY & MELODY LIM　father & mother

a very loving couple who loves their children very very much. they also very open and would still love their children for having out of the norm attributes (like them loving the same gender, etc). henry is a technician while melody is a nurse at a pediatrician's office. isaiah considers his parents his role models since they were the ones who taught him not to judge people on their genders.

SARAH LIM　younger sister, 2003

the second oldest who can be described as the odd one of the family, but everyone still loves her very much. she's blunt and says what's on her mind. she is not quiet about her preferences, but the family still holds her very dear. she's currently a theatre major in college. isaiah doesn't really worry about her as much because he knows she can handle herself because she is strong for an omega.

fc. 다현, twice

MARY LIM　younger sister, 2007

the third oldest of the family who is as cute as a button. it really wasn't a surprise when she was revealed to be an omega. though just because she's cute and an omega, it doesn't mean that you can run over her. she actually has a sharp tongue and not afraid to say what's on her mind. still in high school, she seems to be just like isaiah and likes to study. isaiah is more protective of her since gets her in unsavory situations a lot.

fc. 여진, loona

BENJAMIN LIM　younger brother, 2009

the youngest of the family and the one that is protected at all cost. despite not being identified yet, everyone knows he's going to be an omega. out of everyone in the family, isaiah is the most protective of his brother. there was one time when he brother was almost jumped by a bunch of alphas and ever since then, isaiah protects ben with his whole life. ben is one of his inspirations in being a kpop idol, wanting to be the best brother he can look up to and brag to his friends. isaiah is the bestest big brother after all.
