Jaewoo, Park
17 Dec. 6, 2002 Student Gryffindor 5th Year Muggleborn Hogwarts | PERSONALITY: Laid-back, charming, bold, friendly, outgoing, protective, competitive, earnest, compassionate. Jae is the type of person who immediately susses out who he can befriend and who simply won't like him. He's an excellent judge of character, tending to rely on his gut feelings about a person upon the first meeting. He's been wrong a few times, but not often. He's one who collects friends like some might collect stamps, simply getting to know people he likes and learning about them. Somehow, he manages to remember details about all of them. Whether it's that one person seems to like wearing pink or another has a pet pygmy puff, he'll store those away to remember later. Of course, the closer the friend, the more he knows. He enjoys giving gifts and doing little things to make them happy. Earning a smile is always one of his greatest goals and he'll often go out of his way to do so, especially if the person seems down in some way. Following his time spent in Accona, it took him a long while to rebuild himself. He's just now really returning to his cheerful self, and he still has his moments of fear and anxiety when he remembers what went on in the prison. ASPIRATION: He thinks being an auror sounds really good, especially after the prison. It would ensure that he wasn't an easy victim again, at least. Barring that, maybe he'll go into creature and muggleborn rights. There's progress being made, but he could probably help. He could also try for pro Quidditch... | LIKES: - Spicy food - A good laugh - Sports - Game nights with lots of people - Crowds with good energy DISLIKES: - Silence - Being isolated - Bigotry - Full moons - Sour things |

CHILDHOOD. | Jae was the youngest son of a perfectly normal immigrant family. His father was an accountant who worked a normal office job. His mother was a baker who supplemented income from a small bakery. The family lived in a flat above the bakery, where Jae shared a room with his twin siblings until they were all too old for that and Iseul was giving a space of her own in what had been the flat’s storage room. He helped in the bakery, attended school, achieved decent grades, and played on his school’s soccer team. Even at a young age, Jae was well-liked by his peers and teachers. He was charismatic and helpful, a good athlete who took time to teach those around him when they struggled. As kind as he was, as charming as he was, there was still something weird about Jae. Things would just happen. A tray of bread once stopped in midair before it could hit the bakery floor. One of his opponents on the soccer field suddenly found his shoes untied. A bully in the bathroom insulted his friend and water sprayed out of the toilet to hit them in the face. Strange little things happened around Jae Park, and he would laugh them off or joke that he was cursed, shoving down the wondering if he actually was. |
SCHOOL YEARS. | The Hogwarts letter seemed like some sort of elaborate prank until a full-grown wizard showed up at the bakery to take Jae school shopping. At first, it was like a fever dream. Magic? Wands? Owls? (He’s still very perplexed by that one in particular. Why owls?). It wasn’t until he actually had the items and was directed to show up at King’s Cross that it became real to him. Leave his family? Go to a magic school? His parents were as confused as he was, but the wizard insinuated that not attending would result in Jae’s innate magic spiraling out of control- meaning the strange happenings would get worse and potentially become dangerous. Unwilling to let that happen, Jae packed up and departed for Hogwarts. He quickly found that wizard school wasn’t too terribly different from regular school, at least as far as the social aspects went. He found friends on the train, learned who to avoid, and realized that his being from a non magical family was a bit odd to some of the others. That was fine. They were just as odd to him for having grown up with magic. He was sorted into Gryffindor and fit in rather well within his house. His classes were fun and engaging. His first year went by in a blur of wonder and excitement. That excitement doubled when he realized that the wizarding world had sports. He quickly became an avid Quidditch fan, all but devouring every book and magazine he could get his hands on. He proved to be a decent flier and worked hard to become a very good flier. In his third year, he joined the team and rather enjoyed himself even as a reserve player. Unfortunately, his plans for playing again in his fourth year were offrailed by the Cremation. Jae was taken early on, having made a few pureblood enemies among his classmates when he refused to back down from any challenge they presented him. He was unafraid, and that made him a target. He quickly learned to be afraid. He learned that the adults in the Prison were by far much worse than his classmates. By the time the rescue came, he was a different person than he’d been when he went in. They had done something to him, something unnatural. By the time he emerged, he was no longer human. It was that change that kept his parents from simply ripping him from the wizarding world. He had been missing, he had not been protected, and they were furious. But he was different, he wasn’t safe. He was reluctant to return to Hogwarts, but it was the best option for himself and for his family. He would be safer among the wizards- where there were countermeasures for people like him- than he would among the muggles. He spent his repeated fourth year working to regulate himself again. He was reeling, a kite tossed in a storm. Nothing was right anymore. He didn’t join the team, choosing to practice with small groups of friends or by himself to keep himself out of his own head. Piece by piece, he began to fit together again. His grades steadily improved, his skin regained its color, and his mood brightened. At the start of fifth year that he allowed himself to join the team again, finding another piece of himself in the slow road to recovery. |

RP SAMPLE (200 words min.)
Her touch was startling, a sudden prod of warmth where previously he had been numb. He blinked at her, the light returning fully to his eyes as he became present again. Right. It wouldn't do them any good to return to that beach- no matter how often their minds took them there.
And then it was his turn. His turn to place his hand over hers and squeeze just slightly to draw her back to the present. Control. That made a good deal of sense, given what he already knew. He could do that. He'd become rather experienced in training fey over the years, though he'd never thought he'd be teaching her.
"I think we can manage," he said with a weak imitation of his usual boyish grin.
It disappeared quickly, as though the effort of keeping it there taxed him too much to do so. He wasn't ready to truly smile again. Not when grief still squatted on his chest to reach inside and wring his heart.
Don't let me hurt you, too.
A telling statement, and one that he decided not to unpack. He gave her another nod, another squeeze, and then pulled his hand back.
"I promise."
Another potential lie that fell too easily from his lips. Another whisper that he was foolish to ever believe he could make any promises at all in these times.
"We'll start this evening, yeah?" he said, refusing to linger.
