Background: 21 year old American-born Jungmin aspires to be a fashion designer.
Aspires, but isn't really very good at it.
He never really knew what he wanted to be when he 'grew up' (never really planned on doing that whole 'growing up' thing, anyway). He was one of those students in school who was average at everything and seemed to have no real interest in something specific. He tried a bit of everything, but nothing just really grabbed his attention enough to make him go 'woah, I want to do this when I leave school'.
That all began to slowly change when his family moved to another city and Jungmin changed highschools. One thing that he had always been good at was making friends, so moving to a new school and even a new city never really bothered him. Although he was slightly obnoxious and rather immodest and just plain weird most of the time, people just seemed to like him anyway. He didn't think that too weird - after all, he was Jungmin, why wouldn't people like him?
He slowly began to take an interest in designing clothes, mostly sparked from a friend who's mother did it. She would often design and make clothes for her daughter's friends, Jungmin included. Jungmin thought that was the coolest thing in the whole world.
After leaving highschool, Jungmin moved out of home and with the money he had earned (some of it through actual working, the rest through ... well, he'd like to call it Skilfull Persuasion, some people might call it Swindling) he got himself a little apartment and a room-mate (chosen after very intensive interviewing). She's two years older than him but they get along great, she is like the sister that Jungmin never had. He also got into college as a Fashion Design major, also taking Asian Studies and Illustration for Children's Publishing - even though he's not very good at that, either, but it's kinda fun so that's all that really matters.
He's tried to get people interested in some of his clothing designs but so far it he isn't having very much luck. Even his teacher doesn't think too highly of his designs. Jungmin is determined though, and won't let 'a few people with bad taste' put a stop to his genius ideas, and continues on despite what everyone else says.
To earn some extra cash he works one night a week on a phonesex line, and the rest of the time he works part-time as a proofreader.
Jungmin has a faint inkling that he has some weird special power. Growing up, he never really thought too much about the fact that people he was physically close to always just seemed to go along with his every whim and fancy ... he just figured that they knew a good idea when they saw one, or trusted in his brilliant taste. But during the final year of highschool he developed a huge crush on his very straight classmate, and during prom put his hand on the guy's arm and joked that "You should totally dance with me". He had expected to be laughed off, but the guy left his date to go dance with Jungmin, and they ended up kissing.
After that, Jungmin began to wonder if maybe he was just so awesome that even straight guys wanted him, or if he had some weird kind of super power that would turn people gay.
Either way that was pretty awesome.
Over the next few years, he began to notice more little things like this. People he had physical contact with were more likely to go along with his ideas than people he never touched. Strangers he put a hand on were more helpful than the ones he never touched. He could influence people's attraction or disinterest in him, or that's what it's seeming like, but it required touch and the effect always seemed to wear off after a while. He's slowly piecing it together and experimenting a little bit with it, seeing what's effective and what's not.
But he still likes his original thought, which was that he can just turn people into fags for himself.
