A Strong Body

Picture:


Appearance: Jin-Eun is of average height and weight for a boy his age. He’s isn’t as built as he could be, but there’s no question that he’s toned in terms of muscle. He has paler skin that tans just a bit over summer. His eyes are hazel-green and he keeps his dark hair cut short, bangs framing his face. On any average day, Jin-Eun wears winged eyeliner in a variety of colors. His nails are painted similarly in pastel colors and he has both ears pierced.

The way Jin-Eun dresses can be described as pastel goth. You’ll see him wearing thing like ripped and tattered pants, but in lighter colors and with odd prints on them. He veers towards wearing torn up tank tops and sweatshirts with varying sleeve lengths for tops. Most of his shoes are either some form of work boot or high tops. Rings and necklaces and earrings are also usually included in what he wears. If he’s working with his father at the Song family’s mortuary, he changes into more suitable clothes that are generally all black.

Height: 5’8”

Weight: 149lbs

Fighting Style: Jin-Eun really doesn’t know how to fight, so he tries to mostly wing it if it comes to that. He never had the time to pick up a martial art or anything, but the time he spent dancing gave him enough control over his movements and muscle tone to at least give him a chance. Jin-Eun is good at moving out of the way, but all he can really think of in a fight is to throw punches, try to get out of the way before the opponent hits him, throw more punches, rinse and repeat. He tries to be quick and keep moving.

Personality:
Serene. A glancing look at Jin-Eun is that he is a kind and gentle soul, and he honestly is just that. He smiles easily and has a light-hearted laugh that makes him appear as though he doesn’t have a care in the world. Jin-Eun is easy to talk to for most, open and friendly even to strangers, and always willing to help should he be asked. He’s laid back almost to a fault, and he really isn’t fazed by much. Jin-Eun is all around unflappable, you could march a parade of purple elephants in tutus in front of him and he would probably only remark that it was cute.

That isn’t to say that Jin-Eun is in a constant state of calm though. He definitely appears as such and generally manages to be so, but he is a person that usually feels far more intensely than he lets on. He does this purposefully as a way of keeping his emotions in line so they don’t disrupt his thinking process, especially if he happens to be in a fight. He is level-headed and usually has no problem in thinking clearly, finding the most favorable path to follow and traversing it as best he can.

But that’s not to say that the façade doesn’t break at times. Jin-Eun is still a person, after all, and everyone has their bad days. Under extreme stress, cracks will definitely start to show in his calm demeanor, but even when he breaks his emotions are still shown in a way that appear reserved. Anger comes with a cold shoulder and a sharp tone of voice, sadness creeps through as silence and subdued weeping. Fear is one thing that Jin-Eun rarely experiences, very little being able to truly scare him, though on the rare occasion that this happens you will know because he will freeze.


Inside the Soul

Weapon form:
Jin-Eun’s Weapon form is that of a Dangpa, a Korean Weapon. Roughly seven feet long, the main shaft appears as polished wood. There is a metal wrapping at the base. The top end has a three-pronged tip similar to a trident. There is a weighted lavender tassel tied at where wood meets metal at the pointed end of the Dangpa.

Partial Form:Jin-Eun’s partial form takes over his right leg form the knee down. In addition to its location being hilariously useless, his partial form is also the blunt end of the Dangpa, i.e. the bottom end with the metal wrapping meant to rest on the ground when being held idly.

Abilities:
Siren Soul: Jin-Eun possesses a Siren Soul. The general abilities of it apply to him. Because of this, his wavelength has a compelling quality to it that calls and sooths his partner’s wavelength. It also compels Meister who are unpartnered towards him, at least for as long as he is unpartnered.

Hobbies:

Singing – Jin-Eun has always been musical and continues to be as such. He hums if he’s idle or working on things, and he’ll sing in random instances. He’ll sing sentences rather than just saying them sometimes, and he’ll also occasionally just make up random songs on the spot about what he’s doing, even if they don’t rhyme well or make sense. He doesn’t miss being an idol, but he still loves to sing and continues to do so.

The family business – The Song family is a family of morticians and has been on his dad’s side for about as long as they can trace the records back. His father started taking him to work with him when Jin-Eun was around six to see if he had a potential heir to the business, and it turned out that he did. Jin-Eun has been watching his dad work on corpses and dealing with grieving families since he was considered old enough to help, and he started learning how to actually work with bodies and chemicals once it was considered safe. He goes to the mortuary after school most days to help out and has every intention of carrying on the family legacy as the best morticians in town.

Horror – If the whole mortician-in-training thing wasn’t a tip off in and of itself, then here’s the only other one you’ll get. Jin-Eun adores anything and everything within the horror genre, whether it’s movies of books or videos games. He’s been into ghosts and monsters and the like since he was young, and it’s a hobby that’s only continued over the years. At least he doesn’t scare easily.


Likes:
- Anything of the horror genre whether it be books, movies, or otherwise
- Music
- Sweets
- Singing
- Kimchi

Dislikes:
- Feathers
- Bitter tasting foods
- Peanuts (he’s deathly allergic)
- Yellow
- Excessively rainy days

Aspirations: Jin-Eun’s main goal in life is to follow in his father’s footsteps and take over the Song family business as a mortician someday.

History:
Jin-Eun was the first son that Donna and Yun-Seung Song would have, Jin-Iseul comning along four years later. His early years were spent in the vast nothingness of Oklahoma, he and his younger sibling the only Asian kids in town and bored out of their minds with the nearest anything being hours away. But that wouldn’t last too long. When Jin-Eun was only six, the family picked up and left the tornados and tumbleweeds behind, morning back to Seoul in Korea to help care for their ailing grandfather. He was a mortician just like Jin-Eun’s father and could no longer run the business on his own. He passed away only a year after they arrived, but the Song family decided to stay, Jin-Eun’s father already having been carrying on the family legacy while he was in America. All that had changed was the surroundings.

Jin-Eun was around eight when his life took a turn for the interesting. For one, his father starting taking him to work with him at the family mortuary. The other interesting part was that his four closest friends had been talking for a while how it would be fun to become famous. Most of them could sing, and two had already been groomed for the spotlight their entire lives, but thought a two-man group would be boring. Four was nice, but it would be nice if they could get one more member, so they pitched the idea to Jin-Eun. They knew he could sing, and he did love to do so. They were his friends, so he agreed and the group of five managed to enter into the entertainment industry together the following year.

His life changed drastically from this point onward. Jin-Eun spent very little time at home except on weekends, and even that time was insanely short. The boys attended school together during the day, and received dance and vocal training and lived together at night. It was difficult and stressful, but they stuck it out, all of them determined to become idols together. The agency they had a contract with trained them for years. In the midst of it all, Jin-Eun proved to be cut out of it. He had an incredible voice, picked up dance routines quickly, and also had a knack for song writing.

In the midst of all the chaos from running to school to vocal coaches to home and back again, Jin-Eun would encounter his Weapon blood for the first time when he was eleven years old. While they got little down time, on this occasion specifically he would catch a break. He technically shared a room with another member of the group, Jun-Hye, who he was closest to. The two were taking the rare opportunity to just be kids, throwing pillows and pulling deliberately horrid dance moves. Jin-Eun would throw a bit too much into a spin and lose his balance rather sharply, tumbling backwards and noting that his right leg from the knee down didn’t feel quite right. Upon inspection, the lower portion of his right leg was now what appeared to be a blunted metal wrapped around the end of a wooden peg. Jin-Eun and Jun-Hye both promptly screamed and woke up their manager and their other friends and group members, who were at a loss as to what the hell was happening. So, they called his parents.

Jin-Eun’s father drove out the next morning after getting a frantic call that something was wrong with his eldest son. Having panicked and though he was sick, he promptly started laughing when he arrived and learned the real issue. Taking Jin-Eun aside, he explained that what had happened was something he could and would need to learn to control: a partial transformation. Jin-Eun’s mother and father had once been a team at Shibusen, his father being the Weapon in the form of a Jangchang. With some effort, Jin-Eun did eventually learn how to transform fully into a Dangpa, but it was a slow process, and once he’d achieved that he never really did more with it. Shibusen sounded cool and all, but his life as an idol and his devotion to his friends came first, at least for now.

Fast forward, and Jin-Eun and his friends would make their debut as official k-pop idols at the age of fifteen. They were instant sensations, well worth all the time and money spent training them and developing a huge fanbase within weeks. Their fame may have been a great payoff for their years of hard work, but it wouldn’t last very long, and Jin-Eun and Jun-Hye would be why. In the idol world, it’s a general industry rule that group members are not allowed to date. They would break that rule and then some when they fell for each other. What with living together with the other members of their group and always being busy, hiding their feelings and relationship both was extremely difficult. It was only a matter of time before they were found out, though tried to prevent such a thing, not that it worked. When one of the other members found out about it, word spread like wildfire and all hell broke loose.

The five boys had known each other and been friends since childhood, but this fiasco had them all turning against each other. Their manager was furious, and rumors were already spreading outside the studio into the media. Blame was cast everyone, nobody trusted each other anymore, and Jin-Eun nd Jun-Hye had broken one of the big rules of being idols. The fact that they were gay only happened to worsen things in the public eye. Only a year and a half after their debut, the group disbanded. Jin-Eun and Jun-Hye broke up. The drama had been an intense whirlwind, one that made Jin-Eun happy to return home alone even if he was clearly shaken and upset by the whole event.

All he did for weeks was mope around the house. He couldn’t go online or turn on the television without seeing something about what had happened, and it clearly got to him. Jin-Eun felt like all that had happened was his fault, that he’d ruined everything he and his now former friends had worked so hard for, and it had him feeling like a failure. Sick of seeing their son act so down and be punished for something as simple as falling in love, his parents decided it was time to move along. Still, they didn’t want to do anything without asking Jin-Eun first, afraid they might do more harm than good by forcing the family elsewhere if it wasn’t what he wanted. They talked things over and weighed their options. Shibusen hadn’t appealed to Jin-Eun in the slightest when he’d first discovered he was a Weapon, but now it seemed like a welcome change of pace.

So, the Song family moved back to America, specifically to Death City. His mother and younger sibling focused on unpacking the house. In the meantime, Jin-Eun helped his father open up the new Song family mortuary. It helped to take his mind off of what had happened by giving him something else to focus on. He helped set things up and also began assisting once the business was up and running again. It took some time, but Jin-Eun seemed to gradually adjust. He started to gradually act like his old self again, not that there wasn’t an air of caution and a hesitance in his actions that certainly hadn’t been there before. Six months later after he turned seventeen, Jin-Eun began attending Shibusen.

Extra Notes:
- Jin-Eun has a fierce sweet tooth and usually has some sort of candy on him at all times.
- Due to being around formaldehyde for a good portion of his day, Jin-Eun keeps potpourri bags in his dresser to make sure he isn’t walking around smelling like chemicals. Instead he usually smells like roses and lavender.
- When speaking Korean, Jin-Eun’s quotation marks will appear as <<>> rather than “”
- Sloppy makeouts in the recording studio!

RP Sample:
Somehow it wasn’t as hot in Nevada as Jin-Eun had anticipated. Thinking back to his childhood in Oklahoma, he wondered how he and Jin-Iseul had managed to survive the hellish heat and boredom. Seoul was no comparison, the climate was far more tolerable, but even so it seemed that his tolerance for heat hadn’t waned in the slightest. He supposed he should be thankful given that on any average day in Death City carried with it a risk of heat stroke-inducing warmth, the sun looming overhead laughing away as heat from its rays bore down on those below.

Six months since their arrival and the Song family still wasn’t entirely unpacked. Jin-Eun was as guilty as everyone else, but now he was really starting to pay the price for it. His first day of school at Shibusen was tomorrow, and he couldn’t find his schoolbag. His room had been tidy enough that morning, but now Jin-Eun sat in the middle of a circle of boxes, some still unopened and some cast sideways as he searched. Determination set on his face, he sifted through his belongings. Shirts? No. Old good luck charm from that fortune teller he’d seen when he was nine? No. His hand landed on a CD case and he stilled.

For a brief moment, Jin-Eun flicked his eyes over the cover, the image of himself and his four former friends all smiling and standing around each other. In a blink he set it aside and kept looking. Now wasn’t the time for moping or being nostalgic, now was the time for work.

<<What are you doing?>>

Jin-Eun tilted his head back and to the left. His little brother sister stood in the door way, still running a brush through her hair yet managing to look wholly disapproving of his room’s current state, <<Mom’ll go into convulsions and start speaking in tongues if she sees your room like this.>>

<<I know that, but I’m looking for something so right now the mess is necessary chaos,>> Jin-Eun said, casting aside an old scarf he hadn’t worn in years. It was far too long and far too yellow for his tastes. Besides, this was Nevada. Who wore scarves in the desert? He shook his head and looked to Jin-Iseul, <<You haven’t seen my old schoolbag, have you?>>

She smirked, pausing in brushing her hair to lean against the doorway, <<You mean the one you packed and put near the door three days ago to be sure you wouldn’t miss it?>>

He sighed in relief, a smile slowly spreading as he nodded, <<Yeah, that’s the one. I’m glad it’s not lost, I was ready to turn the place upside down looking for it.>>

Jin-Iseul rolled her eyes as she turned and disappeared from the doorway down the hall. Jin-Eun slowly lay back against the floor, folding his arms behind his head and ignoring how the sun was hitting at just the right angle to send glare through the curtains right into his eyes. He just closed them, breathing deeply for a moment. Tomorrow he took the next step in starting over. He knew no one save for his family in Death City. He hoped tomorrow would change that, specifically for the better. Slowly, Jin-Eun’s smile turned into a grin. He couldn’t wait to begin.
