⌕ . ˚ ⅋. 「 jung hoyeon. thirty. cis woman. she/her/hers. 」 kang min-ji was recruited as a phantom for the libertalia nine years ago and was given the codename: calypso for their devoted but indignant behavior, typical for the scorpio. while preparing for a heist they listen to she’s my collar by gorillaz and don’t dare to leave without their most trusted item: a golden choker necklace centered with an uncut ruby.
hi, hello ! my name is lauryn and i use she/her/hers as pronouns. i'm twenty-three and i'm currently in the cst timezone ! below i have an expanded tldr for min-ji, and a massive biography linked at the way bottom if you'd like to know more ! i know introductions can be overwhelming, so i tried to condense info as much as i could ! to try and make matters a little easier, i've also linked a connections page below that has some ideas. thanks in advance and i'm so excited to be writing with everyone !
BACKGROUND . . .
[ ! ] TRIGGER WARNING : child neglect, poverty, theft, burglary & robberies, legal system
⸻ ┊ 0 0 1 › min-ji was born in fort pierce, florida. her parents were basically mariners and weren't prepared for a kid, financially or otherwise. to keep the family afloat, her parents worked a lot and min-ji was often left in the care of others. this left min-ji with little surveillance and a lot of independence from a young age.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 2 › grew up around lots of water and learned not to make a ruckus. quietly acted out by stealing, which she got really good at doing. sadly, min-ji had to really be the one to look out for herself in her childhood. she became very sneaky as a result, and loved to see what she could get away with.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 3 › her desire to figure things out and trick the public culminated in reading mystery novels and lock picking. she snuck off to the port a lot and was more conspicuous but had less surveillance as she got older. min-ji also made a friend! his name was mateo
⸻ ┊ 0 0 4 › cue heartfelt tale of childhood friends with similar circumstances and interests. then, min-ji and mateo started doing delinquent stuff and spent a lot of time at the port. eventually, they met william jr, an older teen who did boat tours. BAM get rich quick scheme: find blackbeard's treasure
⸻ ┊ 0 0 5 › william sr got in on this and what started out as a dumb idea actually got super serious (tons of context and logistics in the biography + a heck of an adventure story) eventually, the group took off to north carolina after min-ji graduated.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 6 › they eventually found blackbeard's treasure on portsmouth island following a wild adventure where each member had a specific role. min-ji's role was mostly gathering funds in the early stages by illegal means, and later getting the group through difficult places without getting spotted.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 7 › north carolina laws say you can't keep treasure, so they stashed some away for themselves and fenced/laundered it through a shady lawyer that also represented them in their legal case to have a legal claim on the treasure that they left behind. the other three members of the group were pretty hellbent on having some notoriety from their finding and doing the right thing which is why they didn't take it all for themselves... min-ji, not so much
⸻ ┊ 0 0 8 › after this, the group went their separate ways and min-ji felt abandoned. she began committing robberies out of bitterness and playing that old childhood game of how much can she get away with, and it turns out... a lot. but she was lonely and sad. the group lost their legal battle and edward teach's treasure was left in possession of the state of north carolina.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 9 › at that point, the group reunited for a drink and min-ji admitted to her recent criminal activities. she was chastised for it and the wills + mateo admitted that they parted ways because they had trouble dealing with the guilt and fear that came from their stolen treasure and subsequent criminal activities. min-ji seemed to seek out these situations and she was angry at them, and angry at the system that failed her.
⸻ ┊ 0 1 0 › the day after the case was settled, she was recruited for the libertalia (age 21). she accepted within a day after being given assurances of the legitimacy of the group. min-ji joined because she wanted to belong and feel valued and use her talents. she missed being a part of something. and she was good at what she did!
⸻ ┊ 0 1 1 › in the nine years since then, min-ji has really grown up. she enjoys being a part of the group and thrives in her position. a mentor took her under their wing and really honed her skills. her strengths lie in gear-oriented things like climbing, as well as traversing security-heavy, cramped, or difficult to navigate paths undetected. she is happier nowadays, naturally charismatic and playful. min-ji can be soft spoken before you get to know her. has a reputation for scaring people by sneaking up on them and messing with people when she's bored. she is a sneaky (kinda manipulative) gal and a wonderful ally, but a horrible enemy to have.
PERSONALITY . . .
⸻ ┊ 0 0 1 › min-ji is a menace. they’re destructive and often don’t have the best moral compass, so they tend to do things for themselves or those that they’re loyal to. she can also come off as a little angsty at times. she has a narrow world view in the way that people that don’t matter to her, they don’t matter at all. her childhood was rocky and involved absent parents, and all she really wants is to fit in. the libertalia has been a dream in that regard, and min-ji is fully devoted to the group as a whole, and its members. if you ever need to hide a body, she’s your gal.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 2 › when she does find people that she cares about, min-ji is compassionate and doting. she will often act playful and easygoing around familiar faces. while min-ji may have bad intentions as a whole, her intentions when it comes to her friends are pure and wholesome. her kindness is highly selective. though a lot of her socializing is often about what she can get out of it, she tries to make sure others have their needs met as well. in a way, people are just entertainment to her, but they are necessary in order to keep her content and relatively well behaved.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 3 › min-ji’s demeanor can change depending on who she is interacting with. if she isn’t familiar with them, she is more likely to be standoffish. min-ji can also come off as a little weird, as she isn’t afraid to speak her mind or act how she would like to. sometimes this involves pranking or scaring people for her own amusement. she possesses a confidence and self-awareness that has led to a strong knowledge of her own identity. as a result, tearing her down or trying to manipulate her isn’t likely to work. min-ji, herself, can be incredibly manipulative, and enjoys messing with people and making them squirm.

part two: questionnaire.
001. the professor provides every member of libertalia a unique codename that reflects their personality. each codename is derived from various forms of mythology, folklore, or literature. why do you think the professor chose that name for you? do you agree or disagree with his decision?
the professor has always been an idol of luca's and joining within libertalia's first year is something he looooves to brag about. he was codenamed dionysus and though a bit stumped at first, he realized that the professor must have known about his sticky fingers expensive alcohol bottle collection ... or maybe he just has a sense of humor and was already well aware of luca's drinking problem. there's much more to the name than luca understands - a man of intense passion, both known for his excitable attitude and anger. either way, luca has never really cared to know, especially since he likes to imagine the professor does have a sense of humor... and for that reason, he loves the decision.
002. gaining an invitation into libertalia isn’t an easy feat. what do you think made you special enough to get handpicked by the professor?
luca usually chalks it up to being young and lucky enough to be on libertalia's radar early on. he hadn't planned much at the beginning and had been reckless on his heists, going into hiding after a bank robbery went wrong and he was separated from his partners. for whatever reason, he was given a second chance when it seemed like his life was over and for that, he'll always be grateful.
003. the captain’s crew is the highest position at libertalia. do you desire to graduate to this level? if you’re already a member of the captain’s crew what motivated you to change your position?
as a current captain's crew member, the position has been on his mind since he learned it was a possibility. he has no desire to be in a true position of leadership like the professor, but luca owes everything to libertalia and his allegiance has only strengthened over the twenty plus years with the group. he used to love joining on adventures but as he's gotten older and faced injury after injury, his focus began to shift to the potential of heist planning - whatever he needed to do to remain useful to the organization. he fears that his intelligence isn't as good as his physical skills but is doing his best to make sure no one notices.
004. although many members of libertalia don’t know each other’s personal lives, it’s rumored that many members came from suspicious backgrounds. who were you before joining and what was your life like prior?
joining libertalia was an impulsive decision, one made without the knowledge of his wife. she was always in the dark about his thievery and criminal background, some he even completed while they were married. they'd known each other since high school and she only discovered his extracurriculars once he was already in libertalia. luca had grown up having to make his own way in the world and refused to change for anyone, but it cost him the opportunity of having the family he'd always wanted. libertalia was his purpose after that and he's refuses to think about the past anymore.
005. what was your primary motivation for joining libertalia? was it for the riches or for the thrill of adventure? or is there something else motivating you to continue working for the group? what do you hope to achieve?
the primary motivation had always been to see what the world had to offer. a simple curiosity of what else there could be and a desire to scratch an itch of thievery. he hadn't expected much, truthfully, as far as profits go - but once the money started showing on paper, that helped too. now that he's lost the other side of the life he had, libertalia has essentially become everything to him and he hopes to help it flourish with the years he has left. he loves the idea of passing on all the wisdom and experience he's learned, a main reason he's apart of the captain's crew.
006. how would the other members describe you? would you consider yourself to be a team-player or do you prefer to work independently?
never serious, always joking, mouth never not open. not usually seen without a drink in his hand. he's got a contagious laugh and that can either soften the view some people have toward luca or infuriate them. always loves to be the life of the party and at every single funeral, he's made the "i put the fun in funeral" joke to someone. doesn't know how to read a room very well but he's got the best of intentions. works well with others... but usually gives them a headache at some point.
007. libertalia is anonymous, therefore necessitates secrecy outside of the group. how do you balance your personal life outside of this, granted you have one? is there a clear separation between libertalia and your personal life?
luca used to be able to balance everything perfectly within the first few years of libertalia - after his wife discovered he'd been lying about a business trip and knew he couldn't lie to her anymore, it went downhill from there. after a messy separation, luca's personal life became more or less existent. his thirties were spent jumping from mission to mission, becoming almost obsessed with his work until a bad back injury made him replan his future. now he's just focused on remaining valuable.
008. henry avery’s treasure has been lost since 1695. even with the brightest minds on the case, all leads to find the treasure haven’t turned up. avery’s treasure is the professor’s white whale and after several years of searching, many believe the treasure ceases to exist. do you believe the treasure exists?
luca is certainly skeptical but leans toward hopeful.
009. do you trust the professor? do you trust the libertalia?
yes and yes - with his life.

⌕ . ˚ ⅋. 「 DAVID CASTAÑEDA. 34. cis man. he/him. 」 ENRIQUE CASTILLO, otherwise known as LAERTES, joined the libertalia nine years ago as a NAVIGATOR. around libertalia, the CANCER has a reputation for being GENUINE & OVERPROTECTIVE perhaps because they're best known for pulling a successful car chase during the mectozuma ii’s feather headdress heist of which they are most proud. while preparing for a heist, they listen to BULLETPROOF HEART by MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE. makes sense considering they remind me of: the roar of a car engine that goes with accelerating speed, an old pair of jeans stained with oil and grease, a family picture tucked safely in his pocket.
biography.
( cw: mentions of fire & parental death )
truth be told, enrique had been an accident. javier castillo & isabella espinoza were a pair of high school sweethearts who had every intention of marrying each others and building a family together. what they hadn’t planned, however, was isabella getting pregnant so soon after turning 20. needless to say, this was a huge surprise to the couple — a joyous one by their books, but also one that had changed the plans they had for themselves, especially when their parents had no interest in supporting their decision to keep the baby.
when enrique was born, both Isabella and javier had graduated from community college. yet, instead of going to university like they had intended, javier decided to start working full time at the mechanic shop he had been working at through college. meanwhile, isabella had gotten herself a receptionist job at a local pediatric clinic. it was rough to build a family when you had come from close to nothing, but they still tried their best to give their son what he needed.
if enrique had to describe his childhood, he’d say it was quite a happy one. he had parents who showered with affection constantly — his father, who always made time to play catch and later taught him how to work on cars when he said he wanted to learn; and a mother, who would get little treats after school when he got a nice score in a test and cheered the loudest when he hit a home run during his little leagues games. he was, for the longest time, an only child who received all his parents love. so when the family had find stability in all sense and his parents decided to have another child, they were concerned with how enrique would react especially with the significant age gap. yet when ariella was finally born, he had adored his sister from the moment he peered into her crib at the nursery. and so, a married couple lived with their two children in their small apartment in the bronx. like any other families, they had their fair share of rough patches & teenaged rebellious antics to go through — but for the most part, they had been happy.
the family went on a trip to celebrate enrique’s 18th birthday, and it had ended with a hotel fire that turned his life upside down. though he and his sister has sustained some degrees of treatable injury, his parents had succumbed to theirs and died, leaving the siblings with each other. while he had previously babysat for ariella, acting as her guardian had been an entirely different thing — one that essentially shifted him to act more as her parents than her siblings.
in another life, enrique would have been a freshmen at university that fall, eagerly starting his study in aerospace engineering. but in this one, he was working at the same auto shop his dad had worked at. it had seemed like the only thing that made any sense, considering he was good at tinkering and modding your own car. the job certainly helped to bring food to the table and kept a roof over their head. still, enrique knew he had to earn more for the sake of his sister’s future, especially when she her teachers were raving about how she has such a brilliant mind.
as much as he loved his sister, he would be lying if he said that the stress of being a breadwinner didn’t get to him at all. and when he was stressed, he fell back to the bad habit he had kept secret since his teen years — he’d sneak out at night in his car and drive, fast. you’d even go to meet up with your friends sometimes and race them, often enough that they’d try to drag you to the local street races happening around town. you had always said no then, but it wasn’t until this expectation to earn money did you start going. he had his fair share of losses, the cash he got when he won were enough to keep enrique coming back.
as he began building up his rep as a driver in the scene, enrique would sometimes get approached for offers that were even less legal than his racing. a driver, that was the only gig he’d ever willingly take, and that was the only capacity he’d be willing to serve during these time. none of the people who approached him had any issues with it, since it meant he’d get a smaller cut from the job. not that enrique minded much either, because he still got a decent enough pay.
to this day, enrique still had no idea how his existence had made it into the professor’s radar. but he supposed some of the small time robberies and heists he managed to pull off was enough to earn him an invitation to join libertalia. but enrique did decide to accept it, even if it was solely for the share he would be getting. his involvement in the libertalia was something he had kept secret from ariella, and he had promised himself he’s quit once she was through with her education. yet, as he got more involved in the heists, he couldn’t deny how much he enjoyed the fact that he could travel to all the different places and the adrenaline rush that came with each jobs. now that time was almost up… well, he wasn’t sure if he wanted to hold himself accountable of that promise anymore.

part two: questionnaire.
001. the professor provides every member of libertalia a unique codename that reflects their personality. each codename is derived from various forms of mythology, folklore, or literature. why do you think the professor chose that name for you? do you agree or disagree with his decision?
⸺ “i remember the guy from my history classes, but only vaguely. he was nice and all, if you forget the questionable parts of his methods…” galen shrugs, pouring out more coffee on his mug, and continues. “it's kind of what i do here, be a little nice and very questionable. anyway, i think the professor is just calling me a nerd in a different language, but i will pretend that it's a flattering way to say i am a scholar or something.”
002. gaining an invitation into libertalia isn’t an easy feat. what do you think made you special enough to get handpicked by the professor? and what qualities do you think allowed you to join your position?
⸺ “promise me you won't think i'm being arrogant or anything, but,” he pauses, as if telling a secret “i'm really good at my job.” and then he laughs, lighting the weight of the previous statement. “but it's true, though. after so many years studying and being out there in environments that are less than ideal, having a doctor like me that is perfectly capable of handling emergencies and not freak out when, let's say, someone gets bitten by a snake or hit by a car is pretty valuable. it gets ‘easier’ to do dangerous things when you know that you won't die from the lack of immediate support.”
003. the captain’s crew is the highest position at libertalia, they are the select few who are aware of the professor’s identity. do you desire to graduate to this level?
⸺ “they're a bit like gods, aren't they? yes, it would be nice to know this organization's greatest secret, an honor, ever. it is a big responsibility though, a long, long term goal and not something that i can put in a five steps plan, unfortunately. i am happy to be where i currently am, with my fellow surgeons. maybe one day, who knows the future.”
004. although many members of libertalia don’t know each other’s personal lives, it’s rumored that many members came from suspicious backgrounds. who were you before joining and what was your life like prior?
⸺ he clicks his tongue, thinking before saying: “i was a doctor, always had been, and when my mother died, i knew i needed a change in my life. i joined a program of the brazilian government, in circa 2014, that takes foreign doctors to places in the country that need medical attention – that's how i ended up living in pará for years now and knowing so much about the amazon region.” galen says it softly, drowning in good memories. “i quitted when i got invited to join libertalia, though. i love primary care, but i need more in my life, if you know what i mean.”
005. what was your primary motivation for joining libertalia? was it for the riches or for the thrill of adventure? or is there something else motivating you to continue working for the group? what do you hope to achieve?
⸺ “first it was the money.” he confesses, with a timid smile crossing his face. “i really wanted to move out of the small apartment i had for my first years in the country. then it was just… what else am i going to do? i could go back to academia, maybe finally finish my doctorate, but it wouldn't be as exciting as the challenges that being a surgeon here is. some say that ‘knowledge is a reward in itself’, and i believe it is true in my case.”
006. how would the other members describe you? would you consider yourself to be a team-player or do you prefer to work independently?
⸺ “god, i hope i am good enough for these people.” a grin appears in his face as he makes the joke. “i couldn't imagine myself not being a team player, i mean,” he points to his equipment at the nearest table, “not trusting your doctor is a terrible way to die, in my opinion.
007. libertalia is anonymous, therefore necessitates secrecy outside of the group. how do you balance your personal life outside of this, granted you have one? is there a clear separation between libertalia and your personal life?
⸺ “i have the same policy since my college days: just because i helped with a bandage, it doesn't mean you need to follow me into eats and drinks later. i am here to help, that's all, no need to bring my problems from home to the group and vice versa. as much as i like to chat away about many, many things, i need to focus, as it is literally a matter of life and death sometimes. but, who knows, maybe if i trust you enough, one day i will let you know my mom's old quesadilla recipe.”
008. henry avery’s treasure has been lost since 1695. even with the brightest minds on the case, all leads to find the treasure haven’t turned up. avery’s treasure is the professor’s white whale and after several years of searching, many believe the treasure ceases to exist. do you believe the treasure exists?
⸺ “heavens, no.” a quiet chuckle escaped his lips. “i'm sorry, i know it's this group's lifelong dream, and i know it's important to have a target to shoot for, but there's a difference between ‘looking for a rare painting that was sold a couple years ago’ and ‘looking for a centuries old lost treasure using vague clues’. call me a pessimist, but i'd rather spend our resources in real things, not in… whatever this is.”
009. do you trust the professor? do you trust the libertalia?
⸺ he ponders the question while sipping the last bits of his coffee. “maybe.” galen chuckles, barely audible. “just because it's my job, it doesn't mean i have to blindly trust the professor. one thing is to trust my coworkers, or the captain's crew; another thing, completely different, is to blindly trust someone i don't even know the name.”

001. the professor provides every member of libertalia a unique codename that reflects their personality. each codename is derived from various forms of mythology, folklore, or literature. why do you think the professor chose that name for you? do you agree or disagree with his decision?
a smirk tugs at her lips, before she takes the screwdriver from where it’d been held between her teeth. “so van helsing, right? infamous vampire hunter, the character practically immortalized due to more recent works making him out to be this action hero. when in reality he was so much more, as written in bram stoker’s dracula. a philosopher, doctor, lawyer, professor, metaphysist…but most importantly, a scientist. i guess my background in science, philosophy and dabbling in metaphysics gave way to my codename. and honestly i enjoy it.”
002. gaining an invitation into libertalia isn’t an easy feat. what do you think made you special enough to get handpicked by the professor? and what qualities do you think allowed you to join your position?
"i feel like i'm going to sound like a right arse for answering this, talking all high and mighty of myself." she snorts, leaning forward in her chair. "but i digress. i'm fairly good at thinking on my feet, i was able to get my old crew out of some hairy situations with some on-the-spot concoctions. my engineering professor said i have a wild mechanical aptitude, which i figure helps me with a lot of what i do for the libertalia. whether that be reworking the weapons, coming up with a new way in or out, or just plain ole chemical engineering. my brain just has a way of working problems from multiple angles before landing on the best possible solutions."
003. the captain’s crew is the highest position at libertalia, they are the select few who are aware of the professor’s identity. do you desire to graduate to this level? if you’re already a member of the captain’s crew what motivated you to change your position?
“maybe one day, i think it would be fun to figure out the plans for the heists and such. that being said, i truly enjoy what i do. i wouldn't have gotten into, or stayed in this field of expertise if i didn't. so i suppose i'd miss making things go boom personally if i managed to move up the ladder to the captains."
004. although many members of libertalia don’t know each other’s personal lives, it’s rumored that many members came from suspicious backgrounds. who were you before joining and what was your life like prior?
"i feel like this is one of those questions you're not actually supposed to answer...or rather answer with 'i'm not at liberty to disclose that information." helsing smirks before waving her hand dismissively. "i'm kidding. i had my own crew i ran with, ever since i was 16 until i joined the libertalia. it was fun, they were essentially my second family. i flourished under them and i owe a lot of what i know about the criminal world to them. before that it was just a simple life in london with my parents and two older brothers, who i still keep in contact with. i mainly got into crime after a fire burned down the family bakery and we needed the money, ever since i've sent some back from whatever i make."
005. what was your primary motivation for joining libertalia? was it for the riches or for the thrill of adventure? or is there something else motivating you to continue working for the group? what do you hope to achieve?
"honestly? the thrill of adventure." she laughs. "i know! i know, it's cheesy. my old crew ran your run of the mill heists but the whole premise and mystery of libertalia really intrigued me. and so far i haven't been disappointed. riches are neither nor there, i love my job even more now than i did then. so if there's anything i hope to achieve out of all of this, it’s to continue to get better at what i do. and c'mon, finding henry avery's treasure? that'd be such an awesome thing to put on the hypothetical resume."
006. how would the other members describe you? would you consider yourself to be a team-player or do you prefer to work independently?
"100% a team player, even if i'm more of a 'tell me what you want done then let me do it in peace' type." helsing admits with a grin and shrug. "i'll do whatever i have to do to keep my team safe and make sure they get back in one piece, blow things up first and pay for the damages later. 9 times out of 10 you'll find cookies in my lab for when anyone swings by, i have an open door policy unless the 'do not disturb' sign is explicitly up."
007. libertalia is anonymous, therefore necessitates secrecy outside of the group. how do you balance your personal life outside of this, granted you have one? is there a clear separation between libertalia and your personal life?
"i feel like it's a bit of a cliché, but my family actually think i work for the british government." she rolls her eyes before laughing, holding her hands up in defense. "i'm serious! i have a friend who works at mi5 that i managed to convince into covering for me when i first got into my more shady work. they're in a lower level position, so if my parents call their office my friend will cover for me and let me know they called. we have a whole set up, real movie worthy. i have a few friends from outside of this business that i get together with. i'd say i keep my personal and libertalia life fairly separate, unless i get together with one of the crew outside of work."
008. henry avery’s treasure has been lost since 1695. even with the brightest minds on the case, all leads to find the treasure haven’t turned up. avery’s treasure is the professor’s white whale and after several years of searching, many believe the treasure ceases to exist. do you believe the treasure exists?
“sure, why not?” she mumbles, mouth quirking to the side. “we haven’t found any proof yet to suggest otherwise, so i feel it does exist. just because something’s been lost for such a long time, doesn’t mean that it changes it legitimacy. let’s just hope this white whale doesn’t kill us like ahab’s did him.”
009. do you trust the professor? do you trust the libertalia?
chewing on the end of a twizzler, helsing shrugs. “i trust everyone until they give me a reason not to. i find it’s almost easier that way. so far, neither the professor nor the libertalia have given me any reason to distrust them. so, until further notice, they have my full loyalty.”
part three: the biography;
jaya nadar grew up the daughter of two fairly basic london individuals — a history professor at oxford and a 4th generation bakery owner. two older brothers meant she had two protectors who also taught her how to take care of herself when they weren’t around. “you fight dirty,” rishi, the oldest, always told her “and never assume they’re going to fight fair.” she was a bit of a quirky scrapper growing up, and a nerdy one at that. meaning if the resident bully tried to take the lunch money off of one of her fellow nerds…she’d just take it right back, grinning as she’d hand it back, wiping the blood from her lips. her parents wanted her to make more friends, not that she lacked any...but the ones that she did probably weren't exactly the kind that they'd had in mind. after a science experiment unintentionally actually went right, jaya gained the attention of a crew looking for a new explosives expert. and she became it. she was 16 when she joined the crew, and they taught her everything else that she'd need to know to run with them; weapons proficiency, better tactics with explosives and chemical engineering, even mechanical skills that jaya took to easily. the crew stayed together up until 7 years ago, when the democratic way with which they ran started to fracture right in front of jaya's eyes. different ideas and point of views made them split, and jaya left broken hearted before it could (ironically) blow up in her face. that's when she got the call. she joined the libertalia in a heartbeat, not asking many questions because really, who wouldn't want to join a mysterious organization eh? she doesn't take herself too seriously, but she does everything in her power to be the best at what she does, for the sake of the rest of the group. she'll do whatever it takes to make sure they can get back in one piece, even if that means blowing things up first and paying for the damages later. 9/10 find her sitting upside down, with a screwdriver clutched between her teeth as she tinkers with a weapon or figures out an equation. she’s always experimenting and tinkering with the weapons, never wanting to fit the crew with any old equipment. she’s a good listener, witty, and a wicked shot. always been a plucky one, she'd prefer to go through a wall than jump over it and honestly does try to talk her way out of situations...but isn't afraid to resort to whatever tactics are necessary to help her coworkers or self out. also 10/10 will cook for you if you had a bad day okay.

part two: questionnaire.
001. the professor provides every member of libertalia a unique codename that reflects their personality. each codename is derived from various forms of mythology, folklore, or literature. why do you think the professor chose that name for you? do you agree or disagree with his decision?
------" it's not because i'm hairy. " his laugh was humorless, body language somehow both more tense and more relaxed than it should have been, both at the same time. " lawrence talbot was a troubled man who sought to do what he perceived as the right thing, met strange circumstances and ultimately died. maybe the professor can see the future. " he shrugged, though his eyes never left the interviewer. not unlike a cat, he only blinked a few times during the exchange, " i'll agree with it. i'm a horror fan and talbot has always been a figure i enjoyed. can't change it, anyway, so ultimately it doesn't matter what i think. " 002. gaining an invitation into libertalia isn’t an easy feat. what do you think made you special enough to get handpicked by the professor? and what qualities do you think allowed you to join your position?
------" i have no idea, honestly. i just did what i was told in the SEALs until i was offered a position here. " he shrugged, trying to recall the exact time he'd been informed by his CO that he would be discharged when his tour was done. it was young to be let go from a special unit like that - talbot had been curious at the time, but long since let the notion go. " i know i worked my ass off in the military. always strove to be the best ... but everyone will tell you that about themselves. there must've been something about my best that was better than the next person's i worked with. maybe he liked my spunky upbringing. " he was a thief as a child, and a silver-tongued one at that. but weren't most kids?
003. the captain’s crew is the highest position at libertalia, they are the select few who are aware of the professor’s identity. do you desire to graduate to this level? if you’re already a member of the captain’s crew what motivated you to change your position?
------his head shook, even one hand rose from where it rested on his thigh to gesture, as if he were refusing a refill on a drink. " no. that sounds like responsibility. the less i know about the people i currently work with or for, the better. i don't want to know anyone's real names or identities, where they come from or why. i just want the professor to point me in a direction and shoot.
004. although many members of libertalia don’t know each other’s personal lives, it’s rumored that many members came from suspicious backgrounds. who were you before joining and what was your life like prior?
------" i was a navy SEAL from louisiana. my mother was anything but that and i never knew my father's name or met him. never got in trouble with the law but i broke it more than a few times. for a long time i was told when to wake up, when to sleep, when to eat and what, when to shit, how to dress ... they spent a lot of time rewiring my brain to be a weapon and gave me purpose. i don't necessarily agree with it, but they didn't pay me to agree. they paid me to get information and occasionally kill. " a pause, " that good? "
005. what was your primary motivation for joining libertalia? was it for the riches or for the thrill of adventure? or is there something else motivating you to continue working for the group? what do you hope to achieve?
------talbot shifted in his seat. his shoulders relaxed a bit, lips parted as he sighed - mind combing the right words for the answer. " adventure, i guess. money only matters while you're alive. once you're dead ... " another shrug. " i like the opportunity to flex some of the skills i otherwise had or were trained for, but seldom got to use. i'm a big boy, i don't get to be sneaky very often. don't get to charm my way into information often either, not since i was a kid back home and people there were dumb as hell. " his head canted to the side slightly, blond hair shifted into his lashes, " just here for a good time. "
006. how would the other members describe you? would you consider yourself to be a team-player or do you prefer to work independently?
------he snorted, " ask them. cold? distant? they don't really know me. i prefer that. i like working alone better, i can trust myself. look, everyone is here because they're skilled at what they do but i know myself. i won't fuck myself over for personal gain, i know what i'm physically and mentally capable of. relying on other people like that? it was easier in the military but these people aren't a unit like that. you're not trained and taught to rely on them. they're potentially here for purely selfish reasons ... and i respect that. so i'd rather play alone than wind up in a snag. "
007. libertalia is anonymous, therefore necessitates secrecy outside of the group. how do you balance your personal life outside of this, granted you have one? is there a clear separation between libertalia and your personal life?
------" easily. my personal life is personal. i treat myself like a ghost - don't exist outside of the group, so people don't ask questions. it's shit for your credit score but it ensures you don't fuck up somewhere. " another pause. light blue eyes narrow, " work is work. everything you're doing when you're not assigned something or actively searching for treasure is not work. it's very easy to separate the two, so yes, there's a clear separation. "
008. henry avery’s treasure has been lost since 1695. even with the brightest minds on the case, all leads to find the treasure haven’t turned up. avery’s treasure is the professor’s white whale and after several years of searching, many believe the treasure ceases to exist. do you believe the treasure exists?
------" unless it has mythological or fantastical ties, it exists. so ... no sword from the lady of the lake. but a real person's treasure is really somewhere. just a matter of finding the right people, the right clues. i mean, if something like that was under speculation and you were one of ... if not the only person who had even a shred of evidence of it ... would you tell everyone? or would you leave it to yourself and maybe one other person ... to find it? lessens the chance of some other person going after it, doesn't it? "
009. do you trust the professor? do you trust the libertalia?
------finger raised, pointed at the interviewer as if they'd made an excellent point of something and talbot was agreeing with it. "that's a question. i trust the professor with information and giving me a task to complete. with my life? no. " one final pause. any tenseness in his body had dissipated over the course of the questioning, and now only a cocksure expression painted his otherwise emotionless features, neutral body language, " the libertalia? not even a little. "

𝒄𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 ⸻ 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐚 . . .
⌕ . ˚ ⅋. 「 rachel mcadams. forty-five. cis woman. she/her/hers. 」 islan ardor was recruited as a captain’s crew for the libertalia twenty-four years ago and was given the codename: pandora for their magnetizing but deceitful behavior, typical for the aries. while preparing for a heist they listen to glory and gore by lorde and don’t dare to leave without their most trusted item: a gold-plated garland-esque bracelet fashioned with small purple amethysts made to resemble lilacs, a silver star charm hanging from it.
hi, hello ! my name is lauryn and i use she/her/hers as pronouns. i'm twenty-three and i'm currently in the cst timezone ! below i have an expanded tldr for islan, and a massive biography linked at the way bottom if you'd like to know more ! i know introductions can be overwhelming, so i tried to condense info as much as i could ! to try and make matters a little easier, i've also linked a connections page below that has some ideas. additionally, please heed the trigger warnings as islan's biography contains dark themes. do not hesitate to come to me if any of those triggers are particularly hard for you; i will happily work with you to provide you a tldr that is more accessible to your needs. thanks in advance and i'm so excited to be writing with everyone !
BACKGROUND . . .
[ ! ] TRIGGER WARNING : infertility, emotional child abuse, mention of intentional self-poisoning and running away, theft, divorce mention of addiction
⸻ ┊ 0 0 1 › islan is from hiawassee, georgia. she was a miracle baby as her parents had struggled to conceive for years. her birth was celebrated by locals and friends with affluent gifts and praise. she was dubbed a wonder child: a miraculous conception who hit each infant milestone early, was always in good spirits, and was even born with teeth. people swore that islan's presence brought them luck, a superstition that her parents would cling to.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 2 › her parents were professors, and insisted on homeschooling islan as education in hiawassee was average. she was offered proper socialization, and thrived in her early years of academics. superstitious witnesses claimed that islan used all of her good luck on her early years, as she hit a standstill around the age of seven. her previously quick progression was stunted, and her status as an anomaly was dwindling. with this, her parents' interest dwindled, as well. it appeared her parents had been more interested in what islan could provide for them than what they could provide for her. her "fortune-giving" abilities seemed to stand still with her progress. islan would later recall three distinct stages to her adolescence: the golden days, the grey days, and the red days. these were the grey days.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 3 › her red days offered chaos and misfortune. contrary to her past, islan was locally regarded as a bad luck charm in her teenage years following unfortunate events that happened in her presence. she also began acting out in an appeal for her parents' attention. islan magnetized people and adversity in equal amounts. her parents' indifference evolved to resentment, and islan was given harsh curfews in an attempt to stave off the bad luck. her seclusion bred rebellion, and islan began dating a neighbor in secret. the relationship lasted six months before islan was caught, and was no longer allowed to leave the house without parental company.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 4 › this led to islan's chain of attempts to sneak out, each thwarted as her misery increased. more info on specifics of these things in big bio but things got bad, then she went through a period of acceptance. and then she was done accepting her circumstances. a carefully devised plan involving intentional self-poisoning and safe cracking offered her freedom, a successful means of running away. she fled to ocala, florida.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 5 › ocala provided independence, liberation, freedom. it was the birthplace of islan's criminal proclivities. perhaps emboldened by her years of stealth in her hometown, she started small. she began pickpocketing locals, stealing from shops. islan also obtained her ged, a waitressing job, and a drivers license here. she weaponized her magnetizing nature, finding a thrill in convincing others to assume risk for her when it came to thievery. islan was angry at the world for her mistreatment. after attention placed on her grew too conspicuous, islan returned to her hometown in search of closure. she also began to experience a crisis of identity between a teenager who experienced childlike wonder and a young adult capable of finding joy in thievery and manipulation.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 6 › her return did offer some degree of closure, and she left six months later to bed-stuy with her forbidden first love, arlo. the novelty of their romance wore off quickly for islan, and he grew concerned and tired of her growing criminal presence and activities. she realized she romanticized things too heavily, which is a common theme no matter the part of her life, and he left shortly after they had moved in together. blah blah blah many details but islan really became thief woman in this time and led her own expert heist/thief crew that pulled increasingly risky and lucrative jobs at her direction. her notoriety in the underground grew and she got her offer to join the libertalia at the age of twenty-one
⸻ ┊ 0 0 7 › the beginning was more focused on honing existing skills and creating new ones. islan was a natural in many fields and highly adaptable and willing. she was a master of her craft in no time and really threw herself into the libertalia. when she was twenty-six, she started to crave a little bit more of a normal life, so she stopped primarily staying on bases and letting her role consume her life. she got a bungalow in london, made friends, did her own lil criminal things, manipulated more people, indulged in her wealth, and wanted to find a partner. she did when she was 30.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 8 › within a year, islan had eloped in canada with her new wife, jade. happy love times + nice marriage and great addition to her life. it was also around this time that islan advanced to take a place in the captain's crew. jade and islan wanted to start a family through surrogacy, with islan designated to carry the child as jade had no interest in pregnancy. but numerous fertility experts conveyed to islan that she wouldn't be able to carry a child to term, and islan also began to realize she was romanticizing the life of being a mother. it wasn't actually something she wanted. so, when jade mentioned adoption, it caused a rift and islan was adamant in not having children. jade grew to be resentful, while islan wanted to work through things. a little bit before their fourth wedding anniversary, jade took off with part of islan's personal fortune and was never heard from again. this left islan fragmented.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 9 › the divorce took two and a half years, as jade vanished. islan really took a turn for the worse: working out excessively and partaking in underground fighting, coercing people for sport to a higher degree, developing a penchant for wanton violence, and struggling heavily with addiction. she was a walking tempest with a magnetic nature that brought others into the eye of the storm. her personal struggles did not impact her work, which she threw herself into, at first; she threw herself into her career in the libertalia. she had been regarded as a sort of good luck charm on jobs, and that did not change until she was forty. she usually showed restraint, but islan had overindulged before a job and it was an incredibly costly mistake. and also a wakeup call
⸻ ┊ 0 1 0 › cue a short hiatus from the group, some vacations, and some self-discovery. islan checked herself a lil and came back to the libertalia with a new sort of calm. she was still batshit under the surface, which was kinda apparent, but she was more likely to show restraint before acting emotionally. islan came off a bit more indifferent, and her chaotic and destructive habits stuck around but slowed.
⸻ ┊ 0 1 1 › ok fast forward to now islan is 45. lives in a beautiful home in london and is sort of in her adult grey days where there is some semblance of stability that she can appreciate. it's very hard to get close to islan, and she is more inclined to connect with those she is already familiar enough with. they may occasionally see a softer side of her, one capable of affection and childlike wonder. islan is deceitful, charming, reckless; a masterful, thoughtful thief keen to impose her disdain of the world onto their mission. it is not wealth she lusts after, but the thrill. the libertalia is an outlet for her need to engage in wickedness, but it's also a family and a home. she is ready to sink with the ship, if need be. after all, what goes up is destined to go down. such a fall is fated, and grows closer each day.
PERSONALITY . . .
⸻ ┊ 0 0 1 › islan is highly manipulative, and preys on those who may be more susceptible to coercion. she carries a confidence befitting of someone who has been the object of desire for the majority of her life; her ego borders on being out of control at times. this is due to her magnetizing nature that naturally draws people to her side, with those who are unsuspecting aiming to please her by any means necessary. for better or for worse, islan is incredibly charming and charismatic. she is shameless and unafraid to speak her mind, with the courage and ferocity to back up any potential conflicts that may occur as a result. there is a level of instability evident in islan, a volcano waiting to erupt. in a way, she has an on and off switch. islan can go from being cordial and playful to violent and destructive in a fraction of a second. her moods are unpredictable, and she emits a certain capability and danger that is enough to instill a hint of fear in others. much like any other charming individual, islan can appear in an entirely different manner when she chooses to. often, if she is trying to elicit a particular response from a stranger, she takes on the role of an almost shy seductress. there is no soul that has come across islan that has not been on the receiving end of a coquettish remark... or ten.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 2 › where most people appear a bit more unstable as you get to know them, islan is the opposite. she radiates demented energy, and all who meet her seem aware of her chaotic, flimsy nature. it almost creates an air of mystery around her; perhaps that’s why getting to know islan demystifies much of the mayhem. it could be a defensive mechanism that drives islan to hostility with new acquaintances, but she can be soft once someone gets to know her. islan can even be affectionate towards those that she has developed a connection with. when she lets her guard down, one might witness a childlike spirit, the same girl that stood in awe of lilacs. vulnerability is saved for those that she is closest to, a select few that have experienced enough of her gentle side for her to be comfortable with displaying honesty and amenability.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 3 › at the forefront of islan is adaptability, just shy of resiliency. islan is capable of acclimatizing to harsh circumstances, but truly bouncing back from them is where she lacks. in a professional setting, islan shows remarkable talent in picking up any skill or task that you throw at her; she truly is a natural. if you were to catch islan in her natural habitat, typically a club or any underground setting, you would meet an impetuous, frisky daredevil that is likely to procure an unbelievable story before the night’s end. islan is a truly restless spirit who will seek thrill at any cost. her intelligence is not to be underestimated, as islan is guileful and self-willed. often, she is praised for her quick thinking in unpredictable situations and her ability to recognize unlikely patterns and options. there was a point in islan’s life in which she had virtually given up; overcoming this, she seized life and then some. that drive is what fuels her, the need to chase the high.

* intro
greetings im yuri and i come bearing a nerd🖖.......his name is doyoon aka change --- a shapeshifter, ha. he’s the biggest nerdiest nerd there ever was. anyway bio is here and plots will be under the cut, heres all u need to know tho: (like this to plot?or....im on discord @ osh#9308 x)
doyoon (aka change) -- 23, shapeshifter
a libra
poor control of his powers...virtually useless....can only turn into a grandma or a child
pushover doormat shove him against a locker step on his throat all that
wears glasses b/c his eyesight is inconsistently wonky....he’s as clumsy as he is big
very keep to himself awkward aloof doesnt know what to do with his hands or where to look when he’s talking to someone kind of guy
trying his best
his life in a nutshell: orphan ofc he is.....bullied all through his life, was homeless for a couple of years before xavier took him in, HES HERE NOW<3
plots!!!! these are some preset plots off the top off my head B U T i’d love to brainstorm things w/ u all to shape his experience at the school and make it more idk personal, like he’s being given a clear slate here but he still doesnt know what to do with it u know.....so like is he still gonna be the ugly duckling or are people gonna be nice to him or whats gonna happen he just doesnt know yet!
also fair warning that the stronger the connection w/ him(either negative or pos), the more likely he is to develop the ability to copy someone’s form so....,much to think about. without further ado:
mi casa esu casa: the one or three friends he somehow managed to make while he was virtually homeless. they gave him a place to stay, maybe some food. you might not remember him. he might have come to you as a 60 year old nun or a chubby 6 year old child, neither of whom look like him at all. but he remembers you all too well.
off putting: first actual friend he made at xavier. you initiated, of course, with a hello or how are you or do you want to have lunch? you were all too friendly and he was all too quiet. and although it went all too well, it freaked him out that someone was being so so so nice. out of the blue, he just started avoiding you
bad lands: people aren’t inherently good -- it’s an idea that doyoon tosses around. sometimes, he likes to think it’s a lie. but then people like you come along, shoving and pulling and pushing, and he starts thinking about it again. (id love a mean prank type of thing during any one of the school events tbh......like bus prank or homecoming prank idk something publicly humiliating and mean spirited is the vibe here....)
hike: on a whim, or because you don’t have friends as well, you decide to go with him to the city. subsequently, his sense of direction and street smarts exceed your expectations (which were: none.)
quiet: you sit in comfortable silence, and you might be the best friend he’s ever had.
uncharted: love!!! feelings!!! what is it????!!??!? he has never felt it before!!!! he’s very much the type to be so shaken up by someone being nice to him that he overthinks it and gives himself problems. so this could just be a nice one sided someone being nice to him and hes being in his head about it, or someone actually liking him, or....idk w/e its something ab soft feelings.
innocently, softly: youre not malicious, maybe you even actually like him. but you’re a big personality and he’s just a wee cricket waiting to be smashed under your shoe -- gladly, though. (a rel to emphasize how much of a pushover he actually is tbh)
why are you me, im me: he likes pictures and buildings and baked goods....somehow you like a lot of the same things.

Pleasure to Make Your Acquaintance
Hello lovelies, it’s so great to meet you all~. You can call me Tay, and this is my son Dohyun/Sungjong :3! I can’t wait for you all to meet my him! His about page and power explanation page are both up and running! I’m currently trying to piece together a plots page (ineedmorecoffee), but until then here are a few points about Dohyun~
TL;DR Bio Points
Born and raised in England by his parents (both Korean citizens who had moved there for work related purposes)
First discovered there was something different about him when he was 8 years old, while playing monopoly with a group of friends
Secretly researched and practiced his craft, taking care to keep it a secret from his parents (who made it more than clear that they didn’t approve of mutants)
First began slipping into a darker lifestyle at age sixteen when they moved back to South Korea. Snuck out of the house and frequented illegal gambling organizations as a means to practice his craft
Moved away and cut ties from his parents once he amassed enough money from his winnings
Soon became consumed with greed and the desire to win, leading him to make riskier and more questionable bets. This caused him to live more dangerously and recklessly
His last match up resulted in tragedy when he noticed his powers didn’t seem to work against his opponent. This caused him to grow increasingly frustrated and resulted in his powers working against him.
Joined the academy to avoid legal repercussions, learn more about his powers, and figure out how he can further develop them.
Character Fun Facts~
Has a collection of dice that he has been keeping ever since he moved back to South Korea, and he never leaves home without one tucked safely in his pocket (he may or may not coordinate his outfits to match the die in his pocket).
As a result of his teen years, he has a sizable fortune tucked away, but takes care not to flaunt or use it (he became quite paranoid after his little accident)
Despite his efforts not to, he admits to sometimes using his ability to turn minor inconveniences in his favor (such as skipping ahead in line, or tricking a vending machine into giving him two candy bars instead of one)
#at:intro#{{:It's been a hot minute since I last rp'd so i apologize in advance:}}#{{:Currently fixing up my plot page but until then I'll be reaching out heh heh:}}

hiiiii, hello hello! so this is rosé with my first son song daehyun, aka plague. as always, i suck at introducing myself so i’m going to jump straight into the intro. as usual, if you would like to plot, come and click the like button! or if you have discord, i’ll be at rosé.#6236, which is a better way of contacting me. i also have twitter and you can ask for the username. trigger warnings for the content below: mental illnesses, parental death, parental neglect, implied murder. also, this is going to be long, so brace yourself and prepare some popcorn.
000. born to a mother that passed during the labor, he was raised by a single father who was never quite there, often found mourning over the death of his wife. seemingly blamed his son for it, although jongin inherited some of his mother’s looks, which caused his father to pay occasional attention towards him, in the most distanced ways possible.
001. he started developing a sense of hallucination, seeing his mother as an imaginary friend, which was scratched off as something typical of a child. this worsened to the point where he fought his peers over being called out for hallucinating his mother. untreated, this apathetic tendency never reached his father until it was too late, in a sense, and that was the beginning of the fracture in his sanity.
002. his ability began to manifest at the age of eight, and the first time was how fresh flowers wilted under his touch. he blamed it on the darkness that surrounded him, thinking that he was haunted. paranoia infected him, and his father disregarded the fact that his son grew even less and less coherent by day, making him pretend he was normal whenever guests came around. being an heir to a multibillion company, he was turned into a puppet on strings for his father’s convenience, left in the backstage whenever the limelight was over.
003. hallucination continued, and abilities blossomed as he grew up. it took him years to comprehend the mechanism of his own powers, experimenting through touch onto the beggars that he seemed to pity. when the beggars died of mysterious diseases, he started to understand, and he thought he was doing them a favor, for there was no use living such pitiful lives. and that was when he realized how his mind had disintegrated, alongside the hallucination and paranoia.
004. when he was fourteen, he began to deviate, forming atypical moralities. he differentiated himself from the rest of his friends, experiencing the pit of his illnesses to the point where he eventually broke. this tipping point was when he became unfeeling, and started pretending. when he was brought to a therapist, it was too late. he never attended the next sessions, hiding behind fake smiles and false truths.
005. eighteen, and he basically transformed into a full-fledged malice. he still battled with himself, trying to salvage what little was left from his humanity, but the violence streaks simply triumphed over the smidgens of his morality. this was when he started terrorizing people without them realizing, spreading diseases unprompted. the idea of becoming “plague” didn’t develop until he was around twenty, however.
006. and a year later, he started donning the plague doctor attire whenever he needed his “release”, walking around the city to spread unnecessary terrors. at this point, his powers have developed so much that he didn’t need direct touch to spread diseases anymore, although certain physiologies still required it. twenty-two, he was still doing his round as “plague” while harnessing his powers, as well as scopes of self-defense that his powers do not cover. he knows, nevertheless, that his powers corrode his mind, and he doesn’t truly let the fact perturb him. eventually accepted the enrollment offer to xavier’s considering that he’s been found out by them, he ensures his father that he’ll return to his responsibilities after his schooling is over.
007. living up to his alias, kim jongin is a plagued mind through and through. the state of his mental and moral is currently questioned, even by himself, and the truths about his own abilities do not help but faltering his own beliefs in regards to his sanity. this, however, bothers him less and less by day, and it’s indubitable that he’s over halfway to succumbing towards this instability. amoral, apathetic, atrophic.
008. he relishes in schadenfreude, liking the facts that he can make other people suffer, although on the front he would be anything but. charming to the point where some would think he’s genuinely a kind soul, he is twisted with a lot of lies spilled easily from his mouth. a complex personality, he’s often seen as a friend by many, an enemy by some. as “plague”, he was fully disguised in the plague doctor attire, that many do not seem to know his true identity.
009. also a cunning intellectual, he’s made of a lot of tricks to sate his violent mentalities. he is not above simple blackmailing, disguising it as various kindness, although the motives behind it are anything but. he enjoys moments with fellow intellectuals, talking about anything and everything. has an open view of the world, although he’s certainly opinionated, although he doesn’t push his opinions on others.

omg HELLO everyone i’m so excited to be here!!! ok so my name is liv, i’m 19 & in the gmt-2 timezone AND this is my baby boy SIWON uwu he’s a dear honestly..... kind of overexcited about most things and extremely clumsy and awkward but his ability is flight so it’s likely that he will NOT seem like the same person when he’s on air ( bc there’s nothing for him to trip on lmao ) ANYWAYS i do not have any wanted connections just yet ( i’ll have some soon...... hopefully ) but you can find his stats HERE and his full background/info HERE ( or in the nav page in siwon’s blog, which can’t be linked ). also, i’ve summed up a bit of everything you do need to know about siwon under the cut, so if you wanna plot with us, like this post and i’ll come to you. also, if you prefer to talk over discord, you can find me at fox#3071 & that’s all! ♡
tw: mention of parental death.
siwon was born and raised in seoul by his father, since his mom died while giving birth to him
his dad also has the same ability as him; flight. he was the one who taught siwon everything he needed to know as to not accidentally use his ability in public or just crash onto a neighbor’s wall or anything like that
siwon has slightly above average control of his ability because of the many MANY lessons his father gave him, because he himself didn’t have anyone to teach him when he was a little kid
according to his dad, his grandmother also was a mutant, but her ability was enhanced speed, which translated a bit on how fast both siwon and his father turned out to be
he’s extremely fast while flying through the air, but on the ground, he’s got some issues. ever since he was a little kid, he never had much luck with moving around freely, bumping into things a lot and falling on his face more than once ( which involved a lot of crying ), and during those moments his father could only wonder if he was also a mutant, just like himself
he sure as hell doesn’t know what to do with his feet when they’re planted on the ground, so he can often be seen just slightly floating a few centimeters above it, which has actually prevented a lot of incidents
he’s very smart regarding school things, but he’s not as street smart as he probably should be. being raised out in the middle of nowhere and having few friends hasn’t made it so he can freely talk to new people, but he does his best. although, he enjoys people-watching and is just generally interested in everyone’s lives ( not in the gossip meaning of things )
OVERALL, just imagine a child who’s started learning how to walk and then suddenly the child shoots up into the sky and does fifteen consecutive back flips. that’s literally siwon
he’s a darling and seems a bit naive most of the time but he does not take anyone’s shit
okay that’s all pls be his friend

greetings everyone! my name is vicky, i’m in gmt and i am happy to introduce to you all my new muse jeon jaehyun aka clover. i have yet to manage the wonders of getting up a plot page, but i do have an about and a background for you to peruse through at your own time and i’ll also leave some other stuff under the cut you can read through as well. i would love to plot with all of you! so do make sure to give me a poke if you want to thread.
currently 18, though tbh he’s nineteen on the 17th so let’s just say he’s 19
the luckiest bastard you will ever meet #thankyoumutation
aka he has luck manipulation and is just generally a very lucky person without even trying
his whole family died when he was seven, he survived because #luck and was adopted two months later because, again #luck
golden boy, hard worker in school, ex-class president of his high school, loved by teachers and classmates alike
no, he can’t make you lucky or share some of his luck so STOP ASKING. no, he also won’t win the lottery for you, either.
no one ever wants to play cards with him or play games of chance because 99.9% of the time he will win
had no idea he was even a mutant until he was approached by a scout from the school telling him so
basically just a good kid who wants to be friends with everyone
still planning a hard working at all his classes and can usually be found asleep on top of a textbook somewhere
don’t bring up his birth parents or he’ll start crying because he as now realised he’s probably responsible for one of them dying seeing as he survived with very little in the way of injuries
‘why won’t you love me?’
has mastered the look of a kicked puppy when something doesn’t go his way

beep, beep. this is rosé again, coming with my second son, hwang mino aka nox! i’m also the mun of daehyun in case people are wondering. so, in comparison, mino here is the sweetheart notwithstanding the tsundere tendencies... compared to daehyun who’s like, the spawn of satan. he has shadow manipulation and is roomed in 101. if you’d like to plot, please like this and i’d message you from daehyun’s account to make it less confusing for me since i have a small attention span. my discord is rosé.#6236 if you’d like to add! now, onto the background since his biography is kind of... cryptic. trigger warnings that apply: suicide, parental neglect, infidelity, violence, and mental illnesses.
he’s an only son and at the age of three, one of his first memories was of watching his mother commit infidelity with another man. he didn’t decipher it until his teenage year, when he understood what sex was, but by that time the family has been too fractured for him to do anything about it since his father knew about it.
his father is also a mutant that is against revealing himself to the world, so he shied away from the idea of forming xavier’s in seoul even when he had the means to do so, to join forces with the rest of the mutants. mino, on the other hand, found his gift when he was around twelve, and has been harnessing his power in silence since. he didn’t know about his father’s gift until recently — he never tells his father about his either in fear of being shunned.
and along that vein, his father is a workaholic, letting him be whatever he wanted to be. he joined the wrong crowd at sixteen, and began his venture with underground fighting since then. he’s more lithe than he is brute, and it carries until now. he was good enough at controlling his power so as not to accidentally use it against his opponents. at the end of his school year, his mother committed suicide after long-strained relationships in the family, and that threw him off the loop for a while.
when he finally got his shit together after he graduated high school, he decided to pursue a career in digital arts, which he did out of leisure, since he didn’t know what else he was interested in. he took a gap year in-between to travel with his father’s hard-earned money ( well, his father is $$$ ), before returning to seoul.
there was a period of relapse where he eventually succumbed to underground fighting again. he was approached by xavier’s very early in june 2018, and didn’t really know what to do with it. he let the offer stay there for a while until he accepted it in december.
