#not sure if i should tag this as an intro buuuut... mayhaps...

[cageddoves]

i have quite a bit of dms to get back to (aaaand dossiers/bios to post rip), but i figured i'd throw my new baby out there real quick. wanted connections and deets on him below. like this if you’re interested in plotting with him!

this is not proofread so i'm sorry in advance for the typos-

𝑨𝑵𝑮𝑬𝑳 𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑻 — the runaway ˗ˏˋ ꒰ he/him, cis man, works for a ship manufacturer, pan. ꒱ ˎˊ˗

tw: mentions of violence 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 : i will save y'all some of the depressing details, but essentially ángel used to live in spain with his loving family. after they fell on hard times, he got caught up in prizefighting in his late teens. he would get a sizeable cut of the betting pool each time he won, which he used to help support his family for years. after one fight went too far, it finally clicked for ángel that he couldn't continue living this way. he left spain to escape his old reputation and has been here for two years under a work visa.

𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒅𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒉𝒊𝒎 :

his name is said with the spanish pronunciation which sounds like ahng-hel. he genuinely hates the english pronunciation of angel, so if someone struggles to say his name properly they can call him hart or ahn.

chose his job partially because he had the experience, but mainly because he would have his face covered 99.9% of the time. anonymity is very important to him.

is so so so guarded with his personal life and honestly paranoid that someone will recognize him from a blurry fight video or something.

surprisingly a flirt, and good at it. he was popular with women back in spain and despite some language barriers he still manages to flirt well.

𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 :

the teacher(s) — ángel's grasp on korean is decent as he learns new languages rather quickly, but he absolutely needs a couple people to help him improve his pronunciation. in exchange, he can offer to pay them with money or through favors. (taken by nam haesol and seo taewoo)

the ghost of you — a muse that reminds him of his friend that passed years ago. they will catch him staring a little too long, and likely notice his guarded personality doesn't seem to apply to them.

the 'friend' with benefits — it's unclear if either of them consider each other to be friends, but it is clear that there are benefits. at times, ángel stays with them a little longer than he would if they were strangers. (taken by ki eugene)

the gem — he genuinely finds this muse too pure for the world, and gets the nagging desire to protect them however he can. hopefully he doesn’t scare them away in the process.

the petty — they mispronounced his name one too many times, and now they have beef.

the catalyst — this muse manages to get under his skin a lot, and may see the old ángel make a return. (taken by son hyunjae)

the crew — in ángel's pursuit to find himself outside of the life he used to know, he's discovered that gaming helps him let off steam. these muses are who he often games with, and has developed a quiet attachment to them. (taken by sejoon lee, ki sooji, more spots open!)

the respite — this muse notices that he leans into their innocent touches often. ángel has an unspoken softness towards them found in the way he puts some of his weight on them when they're side-by-side, or rests his head against their shoulder when they're watching a movie, or his fingers linger on the cup being passed. truthfully, being so guarded has him touch starved and he feels comfortable enough with this muse to seek small moments of comfort.

the reason — someone that invites ángel out a lot to things like parties and concerts to force him to let loose. (taken by isla kwon)
