born as the youngest of three children, suyeong was the final child that seo sung-il and nam areum would choose to have while living in terra. while many might believe that choosing to have a child in a virtual world as their own was an act of love, for the couple whose name would be known in headlines, in fact it was an act of brilliance in furthering themselves into the lives that they wanted.
each child cultivated to specific standards by their parents, ensuring that each child would be a benefit to their father's burgeoning political career. one son to carry on the father's legacy, a singular daughter to push into a socialite like role and eventually marry into another prominent family and cement new ties through marriage, and a final son to support the endeavors and ambitions of their eldest son to its fullest.
by the time that suyeong was born or rather plugged into terras, sung-il had rose past his previous lower standing and in the sphere of politics he was ever on the rise. it was only the beginning of the restriction and a life that suyeong's parents would work their hardest to craft for him to further themselves.
growing up, there were a lot of expectations put upon the boy and his siblings, it did not take long before hours of play turned into the extremes of ensuring they had the best education. tutors and teachers outside of school that meant a ton of extracurricular activities including learning to play an instrument, finding a physical activity or sport, and learning additional languages that they hardly needed when there was an easy button to push on one's panel to translate into their own language.
as the years went by and the success of sung-il in the political realm, suyeong would see less and less of his parents and more and more of the nannies that would watch over them instead of the parents that decided to bring them into terra. the idea of fatherly and motherly love became less and less and though he would claim these days it had no effect on him, well he would be lying.
while suyeong's siblings easily fell into their expected roles and flourished in the expectations, suyeong felt more and more like he was a bird in a gilded cage. for a time he felt aimless. the hobbies and interests he would develop would were not something his parents approved of once they learned of them. gaming was especially one interest that his parents thought very little of and saw as nothing more than a useless distraction that their youngest son was for some reason obsessed with.
after school suyeong would sneak away to vr rooms to play the latest games that had caught his interest. when asked of where he had been after school, then the young boy would easily lie that he had signed up for additional tutoring at school and that was enough to satisfy the hawk-like expressions for the moment.
it should come as no surprise that of the games offered in terra, iron fist, the most prominent fighting game on the market would catch his attention. he had started out as a casual player like most, but the more he exposed himself to the game and played with the generated characters the most he fell in love with it and the adrenaline rush he felt from it.
throughout his teenage years, suyeong would continue to sneak out and play the game at any given moment. he never gave his parents a reason to suspect or question as he kept his grades in school at levels expected of him and never shared where he was with his siblings so they couldn't rat him out.
in college it was harder to continue to play, but suyeong would sacrifice sleep to not only ensure that he earned a degree that was expected of him but to also to continue to grow in his skills as a player of iron fist. this would be the start of his immense caffeine addiction and a constant supply of coffee auto-shipped to his apartment in one of the gated districts once he had a place of his own away from his parents.
after graduating with a degree in communications, suyeong had since upped his dedication to iron fist, so much so that it got him noticed by orbit gaming around the age of twenty three. one thing lead to another that ended up in suyeong signing a contract with the company and becoming one of their newest professional players.
needless to say, suyeong's parents do not approve of him becoming a professional player especially when his siblings have done everything expected of them. to them they cannot understand why their youngest has turned out to be the disappointment of the family.
outside of his professional gaming competitions and salary from orbit gaming, suyeong has started something of a modeling career. due to his natural looking aesthetically pleasing avatar in terra, companies have reached out to him to be involved in ad campaigns for sought-after products in terra. he doesn't mind modeling at all, in fact it has added to being able to live without his parents' money or inheritance.

suyeong's randomly generated fighter would come to be known as striker. striker is a gun-wielding individual whose lore is based upon his past of once being a high-ranking member of the military. striker is adept with a plethora of guns at his disposal but being in the military doesn't come without its sacrifices. time in war has lead the character to suffer from poor hearing and is vulnerable to stealth based attacks. despite this when suyeong is playing as striker he has become adept at being far more aware of his surroundings than most and relying on his other senses while fighting to cover for his weaknesses. ( celebrity ranking 2.9 stars )
while orbit gaming has claimed that none of these game effects are supposed to be felt outside of the game, suyeong has been having moments of hearing issues. sometimes like a spontaneous ringing in his ears that is shrill that he knows shouldn't result in a what he surmises as a splitting headache. for the most part he shrugs it off, but since the two years that he has been playing as striker, the harder it has become to ignore.

suyeong is something of a contradiction when it comes to the things he wants and the things he allows himself. as said earlier, a lack of parental love in his life has had an impact on suyeong's own self worth. if a parent whom had decided to bring him into the world of terra could not show him love, then why would another person ?
as such suyeong isn't the easiest person to open up to others and has developed a reticent nature despite the fact that one of his love languages is physical touch and quality time. those who somehow manage to push past his barriers will find the damage his childhood has done to his heart and his relationships in life.
to a select few they see that he is quite intrepid and enjoys a good rush. he's not willing to let things hold him back once he has set his mind to something as he is especially stubborn in nature. for the most part he is kind and passionate and can even be generous but not everyone gets to see that side of him. instead fooled by his supposed introverted nature.
he pretends to have a tight grasp of his feelings, but the truth is that he holds his emotions tightly to his chest to the point of bursting. when it all becomes too much does he fall and fall hard into his emotions that rarely feel cathartic because of how much he has repressed them.

as a given, connections with people who work at orbit gaming and/or other professional players of iron fist. i'd love to see different kinds of dynamics with them, good and bad, give him some animosity with another player that has been spun in the media for fans. maybe give him someone who was like a mentor when he first started out.
a close friend or two growing up. maybe someone who lived in a similar rich family as he did. two who grew up with a lot of expectation and without each other they couldn't have really gotten through it like they did.
a close friend that is entirely opposite of him, someone who is very different to him both in personality and in lifestyle. someone he wouldn't have met if he had continued in the realm his parents had kept him in for years.
an ex that broke his heart, perhaps someone who only began to date him when he first rose to prominence as a professional player, flings, enemies to lovers, anything romantic i'd be up for plotting.
nothing catch your eye, we can definitely plot it out !
