about​

The rebellious behavior began when he was young. Unsupervised and with no place to call home, he never had many friends. His parents moved around a lot, and being corrupt as they were, it left a lasting impression on Namgi. Early on, middle school maybe, he fell into the “wrong crowd,” being introduced to drugs, alcohol, and petty crime. It was fun while it lasted, but it left him a penniless drug addict. Eventually, he dropped out of school and moved to more serious crimes, involving himself in a plethora of illegal business: art theft, drug dealing, even dabbling in prostitution.

He goes into life head first, laughing, knowing everything turns out the way it’s supposed to no matter what decision he makes. There’s no real line between good and bad for him; he’s found sometimes doing the right thing brings a negative outcome and vise versa. He no longer dwells on tough decisions and leads with his heart.

While he can be quite the charmer, he doesn’t hold back, speaking his mind clearly. He isn’t afraid to offend someone and can even be a bit cruel for a good laugh. When going into a job, he downplays the seriousness by over-explaining or changing the subject. He does this, not for himself, but for those he’s working with. He’s dealt with so many ansty people, he feels it’s better safe than sorry.

However, he isn’t all business and is extremely fun to be around. He has an alluring edge to him; dirty mouth, sly and humorous. Namgi is welcoming, warm, and cracks jokes with people he doesn’t even know. Forming friendships or romantic flings have never been difficult for him -- at least with like-minded people it hasn’t.

“I’ll steal a whole five-star meal for you.”

Emotional with fits of rage and outburst of hilarity, Namgi isn’t the most stable person around. He’s a junkie -- paranoid and sick. He’s tried quitting before, but he couldn’t stand the mental gymnastics, and the cold hits of nausea. His emotions are always present on his face; colors drain from his complexion as soon as he’s struck by fear and confusion manifest within his devilish eyes and brows if you puzzle him.

“I could gun it -- But I would probably just end up dead.”

bits and pieces​

- Lives in a rundown apartment not far from the strip, but he hardly stays there and can usually be found in the basement under the pawn shop.

- He doesn't have one set job. It's dealing drugs one day and his body another. However, he prefers the big jobs with guns and an almost movie-like quality. It's a real rush.

QUICK FACTS

[ Name ]
Dae Kang

[ Age ]
23

[ Gender ]
Male

[ Sexuality ]
Bisexual

[ Occupation ]
Bartender At Neon Lights // Criminal

[ Personality ]
A cool and level-headed guy, Dae is determined and a bit of a facetious guy. Despite joking all the time, he is prone to sarcasm and stating the obvious. He tends to show his excitement for a big challenge and rarely backs down from anything. He is eager to train and fight, often to a fault. If he ever gets injured, due to a fight or something else, he will repeatedly express interest in moving around despite being unable to.


Criminal Involvement
From a young age, Dae was always a sort of troublemaker and enjoyed taking things that didn't belong to him and lying to people. While most of the time he did it for his own enjoyment, sometimes he did it because his brother coerced him into doing it. The two were a pair and always planned to get what they wanted no matter what how. They would lie to people, saying they didn't have enough money to get paid for, or mooching off of them without actually needing it. If anyone actually caught them they'd be called and labeled as con men, but they have only been caught a handful of times. As a way to get more and better things, Dae took up a job at Neon Lights, hoping to target rich people that could easily give him money and valuables that he would go on and sell. While his brother didn't join him in the profession, they still work as a team and give each other money and enjoy each other's company.​

personality ─ ⋅✧

to most, jihoon appears like a fairly serious person. he's not one to make light of things and most of his humor tends to be a little dry or cynical. due to his upbringing, he has a hard time letting his guard down, feeling as though it's best for him to just be responsible and mature at all times instead. it's natural for him to take on the 'parent' role of his social circles, even if he isn't exactly the best role model.

aside from having poor judgement, at his core, he cares for the people around him deeply. he has a hard time suggesting what's best for them, occasionally offers risky advice, but he's always there to listen or lend a shoulder to cry on.

to strangers, this would come as a surprise, though. despite coming across as a tad aloof or cold, jihoon is terrified of being alone and would do anything possible to avoid that. he gets attached quickly and struggles to walk away from things that aren't good for him.​

───────── ⋅ ✧ ⋅ ─​

─────────────

history ─ ⋅✧

jihoon is the middle child of three sons and spent the majority of his upbringing without much guidance. raised by narcissists, he never had much of a connection with his parents as a child. instead, he grew to resent how they were so busy traveling the world and buying lavish things that they forget to support their children.

shortly after his older brother's eighteenth birthday, their parents took a trip that they'd never return from. leaving behind nothing more than a note and $500, the couple explained how the responsibility would be passed on from them to their eldest son now. jihoon was only fourteen at the time and his younger brother hadn't even finished primary school yet, leaving the eldest with a bulk of responsibility he wasn't prepared for.

as the years passed by and the pressure continued to grow, jihoon's oldest brother fell into a deep depression, one that'd lead him down the path of drugs and alcohol. while watching his new guardian begin to decompose, jihoon knew he had to take over as the head of their house. but juggling an education, two jobs, as well as taking care of his brothers soon became too much to handle, and jihoon chose to drop out of school to ease the burden.

in his young adulthood, jihoon discovered that not only was painting something he enjoyed, it was something he was extremely good at too. self-taught, he learned by mimicking other's work, discovering the world of art forgery through this pastime. he begun to copy the styles of famous painters and sell his work under their names for a large profit, even going as far as creating a fake persona for himself as a well respected art dealer.

jihoon knows this is a risky game to play but it's difficult for him to give up a source of money that's been keeping him afloat more than anything else has. the guilt and fear weighs on him at times, though, and eventually, he knows it'll all catch up to him. he's on his own now, sending money back to his younger brother, but trying his best to distance himself from his past. he's fearful that things are too far gone for him to fix himself now, though.

[Shadow Alpha]

Name -
Moon Jae In

Nickname -
Cerberus

Age -
24

Gender -
Female

Sexuality -
Homosexual

FC -
Jung Whee In

Occupation -
Chef at Mother's Favorite/Runs an illegal escort service

Personality -
JaeIn has always had such a bright and cheery disposition that many people often wondered if that was her true nature or some sort of mask she wore to please those around her. She is always prepared to greet new people with a smile and has been described as having 'puppy-like' behavior. There is a slight twisted aspect of her personality where the friendly smile takes on a more dangerous appearance while her eyes deliver something akin to murderous intent. Those that have wronged her in the underworld business refer to her as Cerberus because of no nonsense attitude when dealing with business. She may appear to be some fragile 5'4'' girl but she has been trained in various forms of martial arts since she was a child although back then it was just a fun hobby her parents wanted her to be involved in, not a means to garner respect from men twice her size.

In the sense of her relationship history, she's known as a natural born flirt and rarely has meaningful relationships. They are somewhat of a hassle to the girl and she cannot stand the idea of submitting to anyone. The few serious relationships usually ended once they witness JaeIn's darker tendencies. Before that being exposed, the girls were often infatuated with her cute possessiveness and clingy nature.


What are they involved in crime-wise? What led them there?
You couldn't say that JaeIn's life was rough or somehow problematic as she grew up in a mid-high class family that didn't have to worry about money but also weren't spending it without a second thought. They were smart with their finances with her mom being university professor and her father was a professional cellist. Being the youngest of 4 brothers really took a toll on her tomboyish ways and how she always had more guy friends. Even as a child she was just as rough, if not worse, than her friends and was always ready to fight. In an attept to channel that excess energy, her parents suggested she take up jiu jitsu which somehow led to an intense interest in MMA once she reached her teens.

Life went on with few occasional spats here and there until the day one of her closest friend asked JaeIn to accompany them because they didn't feel safe alone. This was the introduction into the world of escorts as she learned the various things her friend did and the money she brought in. It was very alluring and different compared to the cushy life she had lived and wanted to know more about the underworld and its systems. After a few weeks of convincing and aggressive puppy dog eyes, the friend allowed JaeIn to meet the Boss. She started off as part of the team that would rough up unwilling customers that tried to bail without pay and soon became the Boss's loyal dog and apprentice. The Boss placed more responsibility into JaeIn's care to the point where she was the one people met in order for the Boss to remain unknown. There were a few other side ventures such as drug smuggling here and there but she couldn't bring herself to mess with the stuff herself. Her drug of choice manifested in a love of alcohol that has led to some pretty wild situations when she gets out of hand. After finishing school while keeping up with her passion for cooking, she realized that having a 'real' job would look less suspicious than her just constantly having a steady income with no known source. JaeIn found Mother's Favorite after a business meeting and had discovered that they were in search of cooks so she jumped at the opportunity. It's been 3 years since she's started and it has been quite beneficial in creating more connections with people that stop by after visiting the Velvet Lounge and Neon Lights nearby.

• personality

  
  emiko carries herself with a sort of tired, cold dignity as a result of daily existence. flippancy and irony are regular visitors in her speech, often to the point where it's hard to tell if she's serious or just toying with you, just to entertain herself. she is quick to defend herself and even quicker to hide the hurt done to her, knowing that if your enemy knows they got to you, you've already lost. emiko has a spark of mischievousness resting in her soul, making her prone to teasing and poking fun, crossing into the realm of insults at times. however, emiko never fails to make it up to those she has hurt, especially those close to her. she is self-aware of the damage her words could do and is actively trying to cure this nasty habit. she is a sharp-eyed, creative spirit, finding beauty in broken things and charm in the ugly. she notices peculiar, almost minor details and acts as if she perpetually knows something you don't, and most likely never will.
  
  

  criminal background

  
  for much of emiko's early childhood, home was where her father's many enemies were not. being the daughter of a man knee-deep with the yakuza and a long-suffering Korean wife, love and laughter were a rare commodity. at school, emiko was a lonely child, ostracized for being an ugly duckling and for her father's less than stellar reputation. emiko witnessed much emotional, verbal and physical abuse from her father towards her mother, which soon turned towards her. however, right around emiko's thirteenth birthday, emiko's mother gathered the nerves to leave her husband, fleeing back to her home country with her daughter.
  
  in south korea, just as it was in japan, emiko had a hard time fitting in. she did not know her mother's native tongue very well and her loneliness swelled to new levels. she found no solace in her mother, who, after being suppressed for so long, was too busy building a career for herself. but there was a place, a little business with a little sign in bold letters that emiko's eye was always drawn to in the mornings going to school. and every free afternoon, emiko took the time to enter the shop and find fascination with trinkets and thingamajigs and comfort with their owner, the warm-hearted Kim Jaeho.
  when highschool came around, emiko flourished in all the wrong ways. driven by the zeal of being able to form a new identity for herself, emiko found herself in the company of the kinds of men her father had spent her childhood running away from. like any blossoming damaged young adult, emiko had her fair share of party craze, engaging in forms of petty vandalism, theft and even illegal tattoo artistry (which she promptly dropped because she sucked ass). it was late around this experimentation period that emiko realized she liked a woman's kiss as much as she did a man's, though she would never confess this to her stoic, cold mother, who valued tradition above all else.
  if you asked emiko how she started into the fake id business, the 'usual' answer (after a dry smirk) would be that 20 was too long an age to wait for and life too short to let pass by. she had a knack for it, she would continue to tell you, and people paid good money, so why the hell not? some of you will nod with her and think nothing of it. but the more perspicacious of you will know that there is more to that story, a dark, twisted detail that only emiko knows that you don't and most likely, never will.
  
  when emiko graduated, she knew that she could never fit the proper university nine-to-five lifetime mold her mother expected of her. she also knew that her fake id business was not consistent enough to keep up her expenses; there were expensive apartment bills to pay, cats to feed, and a makeup obsession to cover, so emiko picked up a job at the one place she could truly be herself: the pawn shop. despite his aging, Kim Jaeho was quick to not forget the little girl that came to his shop every afternoon and gladly accepted her. within a span of two years (and lack of candidates as well as an aging owner), emiko found herself promoted to assistant manager for her twenty-third birthday. for a while, emiko was in a better place than ever before.
  
  but in her happiness, emiko forgot one crucial thing she had learned early in her childhood.
  all good things come to an end.
  
  it was a heart attack that took her mother. brief and painless for her, but worlds of pain for her daughter. so little said, yet so much to say, with no chance for the latter now. no more than a year has passed, and emiko is facing her first birthday without her mother.
  
  first time facing the world, truly alone.

임가영

the queen

name — im ga-young
age — 22 years old
gender — cis. female
sexuality — bisexual (male leaning)
occupation — waitress at mother's favorite

height — 5'5"
hair — platinum blonde
eyes — dark brown
scars — she as various ones on her knuckles and one that goes through her left eyebrow

personality — ga-young is someone who wears many masks, knowing that it's easier to hide your true self when you're involved with a lot of shady people, and this shows whenever she leaves mother's favorite. at the restaurant the girl is very friendly and welcoming, always having a funny joke to tell customers or simply listen to them rant about their day while she cleans off a table. she is a favorite there because she really acts like a sister to those that come in and treats everyone like family. however, outside of it she is quite different. ga-young doesn't trust anyone outside of her younger brother and makes it quite apparent when interacting with others. she has an abrasive attitude and is known to swear and be unfriendly if she's approached by someone.

not necessarily violent, she still radiates the energy of being on the defensive and isn't afraid to get physical if she needs to. she has a lot of anger and spite towards the people in this part of seoul and doesn't take kindly to people getting involved in her life. very secretive, she rarely gives any information besides her name, not even mentioning the fact she has a brother. ga-young is overprotective of her brother and this often causes her to be a bit controlling in his life and disapprove of his job choices. but she means well and tries to provide for him as much as possible. the woman is very independent though and never relies on anyone other than herself, knowing that she's able to get the job done while other people mess up.

family — list form
im gyu-ri (brother) | alive | 18 years old
park hana (mother) | deceased | 33 years old
im geun (father) | unknown | 45 years old

crime — introduced to crime at a young age, she quickly understood her place in the world. due to her mother's severe drug addiction and attraction to dangerous men, the family was often short on cash so ga-young had to provide for them. she took up prostitution for her main source of income but she could only do it four days a week, two days being set aside for school and housework, the final day being used for an underground fighting ring she had found out about. she got her ass handed to her in the ring, but after she dropped out of high school, she put more time and effort into training and began to bring in a lot of money. the girl ended up getting hired at the velvet lounge when she was 17 (she lied about her age but they didn't press it thankfully) where she quickly climbed the ranks as an escort.

she had quite a few regulars, one of them becoming quite obsessed with the girl, spending a lot of money on her. eventually, it was in her best interest to quit as he found out about her personal life so she took up a job at mother's favorite when she turned 22, where it was calmer. ga-young now does various odd jobs for friends, most of them from the lounge. she got back into the underground ring once again, mostly because she can make a lot of cash in a short amount of time. she stays away from drugs, especially the hard ones, but it's not uncommon for her to deal as she has plenty of connections and uses them to her advantage.

other — she's able to afford a two-bedroom apartment, super anal about spending money and is obsessive when it comes to saving money, she is allergic to bees, taught herself to give herself and others stitches, she refuses to get involved or try drugs, she used to work under the name ari at the lounge, her old clients still try to get in contact with her because she disappeared so suddenly, dropped out of high school in her second year, her mother died that same year, she takes dance lessons in her free time to help keep her in shape

RANG JU-AH

✿ scroll baby ✿

✿ Personality ✿
Ju-Ah can be described as being most akin to a fox. She spends a lot of her time thinking and evaluating people for several reasons. Moreover, she doesn't rush into things, and takes her time before acting. As a result of this, she doesn't speak much which often leads to a multitude of assumptions being made about her. The woman simply speaks when spoken to. She hardly ever says more than she needs to and keeps a sort of calm, cool, demeanor about her. With the life that she's had, she's found it better not to draw too much attention to herself. One of her many strategies is to make herself seem small and insignificant to the average person.

Stranger's perceptions of her vary from person to person. She could either be an elusive woman that's difficult to figure out or a fragile and beautiful flower whose only purpose is to look pretty. Thus, she's very adaptive and tends to mold her personality to fit her surroundings. Had you watched her through a lens, you'd think she had become several different people throughout the day! You could say that with time and getting to know her more, you come to realize the true Ju-Ah, but that isn't always the case. Her lips are tightly sealed, and she keeps a watchful eye on pretty much everyone.

Coupled with all of this comes her stoic attitude. Ju-Ah's life doesn't allow for whiners and complainers to flourish and thrive. She's had to go through hell and back and with that came the realization that she couldn't always sit and cry. Along the way, she learned to cope in not so healthy ways, although they did have a part in how she was able to keep herself stable. Even if it was just a moment.

Despite her "agreeableness" she is a very bitter person. She's held onto a lot of pain and finds it really hard to trust people. Unchanging and set in her ways, she is also confident in herself and her abilities. So much so that it veers on narcissism.

✿ What are they involved in crime-wise? What led them there? ✿
Ju-Ah was born and raised with a silver spoon in her mouth for a short time in her life. Her family was very well off, belonging to a large conglomerate that definitely had to step on more than just a few heads to get where they were.

Sometime down the line due to one too many poor choices on her father's part, her family became one of the many cast aside in exchange for profit. Her family became desperate, and long story short, she received the same treatment. They had given her away to a wealthy business man that had offered them a large sum of money in exchange for their daughter. The environment that they had been in for so long had greatly influenced their decision to give her up so willingly.

Said business man introduced her to velvet lounge which was how she got her start as a female escort. Since that day he had brought her to the lounge, she hadn't seen him since. Ju-Ah finds herself having this disgusting conflict within herself as she feels almost grateful to this man for inadvertently helping her find a job. It paid well of course, and it came with a high price. However, she didn't have a choice.

Along the way, one thing led to another, and she murdered one of her clients. It wasn't something that came easy to her. Some sort of rage and resentment built up within her. Maybe he was just the tipping point. Her field of work wasn't the most glamorous, and the men she encountered were absolute scum.

✿ Relationships ✿
Min Namji ✿ The two of them are neither friends nor enemies. Ju-Ah keeps her distance from him as she has no reason to interact with the man.

Dae Kang ✿ Seeing as Ju-Ah is a regular at Neon Lights, she recognizes his face but the two of them aren't on speaking terms.

Jae In ✿ These two have history. The two of them hung out on and off in their childhood but with her family being ostracized, they were separated. Now that all this time has passed, they have a hard time going back to the way things were.

Ga-young ✿ For quite a while Ju-Ah only knew of Ga-young as this well-known figure in the velvet lounge's escort business. Upon meeting each other, Ju-Ah pushed more than a few of Ga-young's buttons and it resulted in a confrontation she was ill-prepared for. Ju-Ah heavily envys and resents her not only for lashing out at her but for being a former female escort, now able to live a "normal" life.

Kang Yejoon ✿ Ju-Ah and him have quite the complicated relationship. The two of them first met at Neon Lights, spilling their guts to each other as a consequence from drinking too much. Any stranger would have thought that they knew each other well and were best friends. However, Ju-Ah wasn't swayed so easily. When she came to realize who the man was and how she met him, she found herself embarrassed and disgusted with herself. For a while she kept her distance from him but eventually found a reason to stay around him by hiring him as her bodyguard. Now, she's more so indifferent to him.

Cassandra Kovacs ✿ Ju-Ah only hears murmurs of Cassandra's heists from the grape vine. Many of her clients are businessmen and office workers who happen to be victims of some of her burglaries. As for her opinion of her, she's neutral. She had no attachment to those men, nor did she feel any sort of admiration for the woman for stealing from them.

Hwang Jihoon ✿ After the two had met, under embarrassing circumstances, Ju-Ah just thought of him as an excessively nosy stranger. She doesn't go out of her way to speak to him but often finds herself having to interact with him lately as it seems he's been keeping an eye on her.

[Jiyoon]

Almost done! Just need to polish this.

Name: Song Nari

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Occupation: Pawn shop employee

Nari likes to cut to the chase and has no time for nonsense as she is a firm believer in the saying "time is money". Thus she has blunt and cutthroat attitude when doing business and finds little reason to placate with people just to make a sale. If they don't want what she offering she'll go on until she find someone to buy.

Emotions are something she hasn't felt in years after seeing what it can do to people in this cut throat world. You have to have tough skin, don't let your boss see you cry, ignore the insults he throws your way, don't get too happy about another person's, never give in to the feeling of wanting revenge in the form of spilling secrets. That doesn't mean she is an emotionless robot but more of heavily guard door decorated with locks, a key pad, and a large army. Nari cares about people but doesn't need them to care about her, loves people but feels she doesn't deserve it and provides but is self sufficient.

What are they involved in crime-wise? What led them there?

Nari comes from a small town in the countryside where not many get an opportunity to get out but, when they do they won't let anything or anyone stop them. Unfortunately Nari was that someone that halted her mother's plan to leave and start a new life in the city with her scholarship. It was a mistake that happened at a party after graduation and while she loved her daughter she couldn't help but regret her decision to go to the event instead of celebrating at home with her family. Nari's mother, Jinyoung, tried her best to raise her but eventually the shame got to her and soon she was on the next train to Seoul. All that was left in Nari's memory was the faint vision of a taxi reversing out of the driveway.

Left with her grandparents, they all struggled as her mother was the only one who had a stable job in their household. At a young age it was up to Nari to take up odd jobs and when she was 15 she made the decision to leave school to work more hours. Her grandfather hated it wanting her to experience her childhood longer but his wife was the exact opposite thinking it was the only option. From the start she was treated like a burden and made to earn her keep through chores at first but as soon as she got working age she was off to find a real job. One step out of line resulted in severe punished usually in the form of starvation.

When she was 17 Nari decided to sneak out sick and tired of the harsh conditions and sought out the city in search of her mother. In her dreams she saw tall buildings piercing the sky, beautiful people gracing the streets and bright signs illuminating the sidewalks. Needless to say her dreams were shattered as soon as she arrived on the outskirts seeing that it was filled with old homes, shady alley ways, people in large hoodies slinking around the crevices. After strolling around for a few days it was time to address the rumble that rattled her rib cage. She searched for anything on her that could be sold. Her hand found their way on her neck and tugged at the necklace while conveniently finding a couple arguing and took advantage of the situation. The man desperate to win back his love bought it for a decent twenty-five bucks and she was able to afford a few hot meals.

Her skill didn't go unnoticed and she was hired as a drug dealer but also scored a job at the pawnshop.

Conceited - When you know how awesome you are and you are rewarded due to your awesomeness it breeds a guy like Yejoon. He knows he is good at what he does but he's confidence has turned into narcissism and he had become a pain to be around. If he can change (and that's a big if), he will be much easier to be around.
Deceitful - Yejoon lies. He lies to anyone who could put a stop to everything he has done over the years. His crime spree has never stopped and he will never let anyone get into his head. His secrets are to remain that way.
Uncaring - If Yejoon doesn't know you, he won't care for you. He doesn't give people his faith and heart without knowing who they are or feeling anything for them. He is an immovable object only shifting for the willing.
Inferiority Complex - If he meets someone especially a guy more awesome than him he feels like his sense of identity has been stripped away from him. He knows he's awesome but he must be the most awesome in his own head or he will crash.
Virtues:
Bold - Yejoon has a very strong and confident personality. He is unafraid to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. He is also calm enough to maintain composure easily. If this wasn't criminal, he would probably be a great role model for others.
Loyal - Gaining the respect of a man like Yejoon is extremely good as he takes who he cares about and holds them tight. If you mean something to him he will protect you even if that means taking punches.
Leadership - Despite the messiness and often harshness of Yejoon it is safe to say he would make a good leader. His persistence heavy, no nonsense work ethic has helped him make money and his bravery is a charm that leaders have. If he wasn't a criminal he'd be a great CEO.
Nerdy - Yejoon likes a wide variety of things and is obsessive when it comes to his interests. He is opinionated and strong-willed but he'd hate to admit how much of a geek he really is.
Likes: Night Time, Poker, Cheesy Music and TV, Spicy Food
Dislikes: Beer, Mint Ice Cream, Early Mornings, Aggressive Hip Hop,
Fears: Going Back to Prison,
Habits: Tapping his feet, Sticking his tongue out

History:
Yejoon grew up pretty poor. His parents were always struggling to make ends meat and he never really had any time with his parents that left a lasting impression on him. He was tossed between his parents friends whilst they worked and he didn't think he had anyone to go to. He mainly spent his free time listening to music and watching series and movies. It was like this until he reached around 11. Yejoon matured much faster than regular kids. He tended to hang around with the older kids that liked to have brave, tough people around them. They had a gang mentality; undying loyalty and used their numbers to intimidate people. They all had their own street names. His was Aqua for his calm and simple look yet powerful presence when let loose. He may or may not have named himself that. Nicknames tend to stick no matter how hard you try to shake it.

Their rebellious life went on for a while and the kids quickly developed almost thug like thinking. He was in and out of the station all the time as a kid. He wasted his childhood thinking he could make a living being a gangster but he was too small back then. He got into fights with kids his size and one day he aggravited the wrong teen. A rich kid managed to get him put away for 3 years. He missed most of middle school and would have never went to high school (as if he wanted to go to high school anyway). It was inside that his family actually started to care about him. He thought perhaps the crushing realisation that their son is unstable made them love him as they should. He was happy to at least have a relationship with them. He was about a year into his sentence when he met a group of teen drug pushers. These guys really fucked up and had balls of steel. These kids would be inside for a long time if they didn't give information that could lead to Seoul's drug cartels ending. These drug pushers intrigued him. Making money, doing the crime but not having to act tough twenty-four/seven. Yejoon was into it and once he was released took over from these boys inside and became a drug dealer.

It was difficult at first but he grew and became very good at it. He's been doing this for 5 years and he wished that is was more difficult. He was a natural to the point where he got bored of having all this money and nothing to do with it. He was around 17 when he started playing poker and was used to various card games inside juvie. He wanted to get back into it. He gambled away any money he didn't want to spend or save. Sometimes he'd win big, other times he'd have to steal jewellry and watches to pawn just to pay his family's rent. He was addicted. Nothing else gave him that thrill. At first it was violence, then it was drugs and now gambling. He even gained a reputation in the gambling and drug scene for his large variety of blue fitted face masks and blue card deck. He doesn't hide easily in a crowd when he has these on him. He embraced the name Aqua that he once hated and continued living his life as happily as he could.

He still lived with his parents and they were scared. They knew their son was up to no good but they were working less due to the influx of money every now and again. He loved knowing his family was secure but if they ever found out what he was doing he'd be back inside for a long time. At least there they can keep an eye on him. He didn't want that so everything had to be secretive. He kept the drugs and switch blades hidden behind a loose ceiling panel in his closet whilst the burner phone was kept on him all the time and hidden whenever his parents were around. This kid had a system. He hoped nothing would happen to disrupt it.

• Personality
  Cass has three distinct personas, but only one of them is her actual personality, the other two are just convenient masks for showing the world.
  
  The Waitress: The Cass that serves at Mother's Favourite is easily dismissed as a foreign student attending the university and working at the restaurant to earn some extra cash. Her broad Australian accent is the thing people first notice about her. She always seems to be in a positive mood, having realised long ago that a positive server gets more money than a sullen, exhausted one. She's quick with working out bills in her head and quick to notice if somebody is trying to short change her. She keeps up a front of approachability and kindness, but doesn't flirt with customers or let their flirting with her get very far. While she may seem to talk a lot, she carefully works the conversation away from herself and her life, giving away very little information. Her natural agility allows her to easily navigate the crowded restaurant. This front is skilfully maintained and hides her true emotions, mental and physical state from normal customers, but her real friends can see right through it.
  
  The business front: The Cass that deals with clients and sells on stolen goods is a hard, cold woman. She's learned that crime is a cut throat world and to survive not only do you have to be tougher, you have to be smarter. Cass uses her military experience to her advantage, adopting the authoritative tone and confident body language she saw in the superior officers at the military academy. She makes it clear from the very start that just because she's a woman doesn't mean she can be cheated or manipulated easily. In the rare event somebody does try anything on her, she will use violence to make her point, aiming for the most painful points to keep the confrontation as short as possible. Over the years she has learned to haggle and will never accept a first price. Among both traders and clients she has a reputation as a professional who can get into seemingly impossible places who does not tolerate fools. When planning an operation she anticipates for every angle she can think of and is meticulous in her planning. Her Australian accent completely vanishes when she talks.
  
  The real Cass: The true Cass is somebody rarely seen, except to those close to her. Her sense of humour is morbid, relying on sarcasm, gallows humours and self depreciating jokes and this makes most think she has a bleak outlook on life. Cass tries to maintain a realistic mindset, balancing the good with the bad. Cass says little on her past outside of the fact that her family are dead and she was in military academy for many years. Before a job she is with drawn as her tunnel vision comes into play as she focuses all her brain energy into planning. She doesn't get nervous, just withdraws more into herself. When Cass goes too long without a job she gets restless, for one simple reason, she's an adrenaline junkie and loves the high of danger. When Cass goes too long without a job she climbs the walls. Literally. She will find a skyscraper, bridge or electrical tower and free climb it, enjoying the thrill of being up so high and living on the edge. She is completely confident in her free climbing and thieving abilities and will argue that point with anybody who dares think otherwise.
  
  Her Aussie accent slips in and out when she's relaxed. She doesn't take drugs (as they impair her acrobatic skills) or smoke, but she does occasionally drink. Cass is determined and stubborn once given a job to do. Her loyalties are conflicted, she works for money, but prefers the thrill. She has no loyalties to customers, and it is hard for anybody to gain her trust. But for those friends who do she is extremely loyal. She has a great interest in sci-fi and horror movies and could be described as nerd when it comes to things like that. She's a decent video gamer and football player too. She also knows a surprising amount about planes.
  
  
• Criminal activities and Background
  Cassandra was born in Australia, and both her parents were active military pilots. As her parents were often away from home her grandfather played a big role in raising her so she was always mature for age and used to fending for herself. She was a tomboyish kind of girl with a wild streak and would spend afternoons after school playing football, swimming, climbing trees or exploring the ranch her family owned. Cass was tall for her age with dark hair and this coupled with her natural tree climbing ability earned her the nickname of 'spider'. Up until age twelve her life was fairly normal.
  
  Shortly after her 12th birthday her family was shattered by the death of Cass' grandfather due to a heart attack. Unable to live on the ranch alone Cass was sent to live with her aunt, uncle and two cousins (who didn't really want her, but once her parents promised to pay a fixed amount each month for the expenses of her upbringing, they suddenly became more willing to take her in). The family weren't exactly neglectful, just didn't really care as long as Cass stayed out of their way as much as possible they were happy. She began hanging around with a rougher crowd and learned how to pick pockets and locks for thrills. After only a couple of months, her life was shattered by death again, this time both her parents who had been shot down and killed on duty.
  
  As soon as the funeral was over, Cass was shipped off to military academy and forgotten about by the rest of her family. Cass knew full well she was being gotten rid of and spent the first few years in military academy being hostile, abrasive and filled with anger that prompted her to lash out at people (physically and verbally). She refused to follow rules and could often be found on the roof of one of the watchtowers, smoking and taunting those down below. Even the addition of barbed wire didn't stop her and when it did injure her, she took it as a badge of honour. She also got her first tattoos at around that time, representing her dead parents and grandfather. Eventually the academy leaders realised they could focus her aggression into hand-to-hand combat and weapon work and use flight hours as a reward for good behaviour. And it worked, with her focus on self improvement Cass became calmer and more manageable, though she would still climb the tower.
  
  As for how she entered a life of a crime? Being accused of murder was the catalyst. When one of the academy instructors was found dead and strung from the barbed wire of the watch tower, eighteen year old Cass was suspect number one. She didn't wait around to be locked up and knew that the only way to be safe was to get cash and get out of the country. The other cadets had locked her in one of the storage huts, but it was easy for her to make an escape. She broke into the main office, stole as much cash as possible along with valuables to trade, some weapons, food and chose a single-seater plane as her getaway vehicle.
  
  Cass paid to be smuggled into Asia. The first year was tough as she adapted to life on the streets, constantly on the move and relying on her wits and skills to survive. But once she realised that cat-burgling was a lucrative skill and in high demand (mainly from gangs) she began to hire herself out, operating under the name Zhīzhū (Chinese for spider). She learned how to find shady places and how to advertise for clients without attracting the attention of the authorities, moving from place to place in search of work. She rocked up in Seoul on her motorbike and quickly fell into the underworld via The Crackhouse. She took a job as a waitress at Mother's Favourite' and has been in the city ever since.
  
  Cass specialises in burglary, getting into and out of houses and apartments undetected. She works on commission mostly, steals cash, drugs, documents, jewellery, heirlooms and the occasional piece of artwork. Her speciality is hard to reach places, climbing up seemingly unclimbable walls, skyscrapers, telephone poles and even vents, using a mix of free climbing and her customised climbing gear. Skyscrapers, research buildings and official buildings are what she is most know for, but she also does regular house and apartments too. She plans her own heists solo, only recruiting somebody else when she need a hacker to bypass alarm systems she can't do herself. On occasion she accepts jobs that involve her gaining access to an area to let in a further gang of crooks. Having been in Seoul for so long, she knows the ins and outs of the city (smuggling routes, safehouses etc) and has recently started hiring herself out for advice. She sells her stolen goods mainly through The Crackhouse with less suspicious items going to The Pawnshop. While not a murderer or assassin by trade, Cass has killed on a job and will no doubt kill again.
  
• Skills
  Lock-picking/locksmithing
  Pocketing and basic sleight of hand
  Free climbing (give her a structure and she will do anything in her powers to climb it)
  Parkour
  Some basic hacking skills for alarm systems
  Acrobatics
  Hand-to-hand combat
  Light aircraft piloting
  Gun and knife training (through she prefers the latter)
  No fear of heights at all
  
• Relationships
  Ju-Ah: Cass has never properly crossed paths with Ju-Ah, she's seen her while lunging around in the basement, but the two have never actually talked. As a result Cass has no opinion of the girl and can just about match a name to the face.
  Yejoon: Yejoon is Cass' closest friend without a doubt. While they don't share very many details about their personal or respective crime lives (opting for a policy of 'I'm really not your therapist, but if you're in deep I'll give advice') their friendship is strong and simple with no strings and built on a mutual love of cheesy TV shows (either 90s or 70s), criticising bad horror movies and a mountain of junk foods. Both night owls they can be found in the basement at night watching whatever late night television, dodgy streaming and bootlegs have to offer. They bicker over absolutely everything, trying for hours to turn the other their way. They do care about each other in a strictly platonic way, but never really say it.
  Ga-young: Ga-young and Cass are far more similar than either woman knows or would care to admit. Their friendship is a work one, born of convenience more than a genuine connection. They know each other from Mother's Favourite, both working as waitresses and putting on a mask of a happy, approachable girl. As soon as they leave work they go their separate ways. Cass knows from the scars on ga-young's knuckles that there is more to her than meets the eye (they are similar to her own fighting scars after all) but has never bothered to find out anything more about the other girl's life.
  Jihoon: Partners in crime is an apt phrase for these two when it comes to Cass' work in art theft. They have been working together since Cass came to Seoul, the partnership started as a once off team-up, but the two quickly realised that their combined skills and reputations would make for an excellent mutually beneficial partnership. Jihoon knows other dealers and clients Cass can pass her things along too, as well as insider information on galleries. Cass has the skills and is both reliable and discreet.

Had someone told young Li Na that she wouldn't be living the high life after she turned 20 and she would have laughed, hard. From a young age, she had her entire life planned. A wonderful, rich, boyfriend and a top floor apartment in Amber Park, and a wardrobe to die for. She'd be adorn with admirers, and spend the rest of her life living in luxury. It didn't exactly happen, of course, but it's still something she's shooting for.

With the high expectations of her family, Li Na was expected to obtain a business degree at Seoul National University, and with a dedicated staff of tutors, the student got in. Despite her efforts, however, she hated every moment. Her tutors were paid to assist her further, helping her with everything, from her understanding, her chores, and her Korean. The stress wasn't to her liking, and far more effort than she had ever wanted for herself. Still, at the age of 21, she graduated; not entirely top of her class. She still graduated! That had to count. Still, it was during this time that she found herself running free with the changing street fashion, often spending more money on clothing than she did on food each month. Of course, this meant mooching shared meals off her friends - offering to split a meal under the suggestion of lessening calorie gain; rather than expressing her decision to buy a new pair of sneakers over meals for the week.
Li Na's exuberant spending did get her into a small amount of debt, although some smiling, and financial advice lessons later, her parents agreed to cover her debt and the young woman was free to slowly accur the amount once more.

Her collection of friends were happy to show her the sights in the city and eventually leak her to Neon Lights; which became a personal favourite hang out. The lights. The noise. The life. It was almost everything she'd ever wanted - expect the money, the condo, and the rich boyfriend. Her own opinion would lead her to believe her life was entirely mediocre. Despite her cheerful and outgoing personality - something of which changes when she hears a familiar accent to which her outgoing attitude explodes, and she's happy to speak her natural tongue at speeds unknown to man.

When it comes crime, Li Na isn't a criminal. Not entirely. She's a woman with an eye for money, and getting her Amber Park, her luxury and her wealthy boyfriend! It didn't take long before she noticed she had an eye for spotting those with extra cash to splash. Her interests lead her to spot the key accessories, and so she would ever so casually introduce herself, bump into, act so lonely, in order to get their attention, slide her way in, and be the short term girlfriend they had always dreamed. At least until they got tired and stopped responding to her messages. There wasn't ever many who were willing to spend their every waking dollar on her.

It was during this time that she discovered her talent for spotting the value in each brand of credit card - a skill she's gotten down to the brand, name, and colour at this stage. Ask her one and she'll tell you the minimum and maximum, credit limits, and perks of the more expensive brands. Li Na's pursuit lead her to try to gather the attention of an slowly aging median of men, subtly knowing they'd be more likely to spend just to keep her attention; after all, how often were they likely to obtain the attention of someone half their age. It wasn't directly fraud, but one might argue she was happy to lie her way into the pockets of almost anyone.

Slowly, her attempts at obtaining luxury grew to something that could be described as "sticky fingers". Often choosing to spend the night laughing over cocktails and slipping away with a card. Of course, she never had long until they were cancelled but it was a short thrill of early morning shopping that left her all fuzzy inside.

Li Na spends most of her time either dancing eyes in Drink Up! - eyeing the attendants for someone worth her time, or flirting with students in Neon Lights.
