Human/Mutant/Vampire: Mutant
Ability: can speak with animals in their own language (think Dr. DoLittle)
Background:
Minhwan was born in Korea into a middle-class family. His father was a vet and thus little Minhwan found himself surrounded by animals all the time. As a young boy, he did nothing but play with those animals and didn't discriminate; whether it were pigs, parrots, cats or even the worms he found when digging into the earth, he all loved them. At that time, he found animals far more interesting than humans and spent all his days talking to them.
Unaware that humans weren't supposed to be able to communicate with animals, Minhwan grew up to be a normal, albeit a bit introverted boy. His parents didn't think much of him talking to the animals; he was a child, plus Minhwan's father thought that talking to animals was a quite normal thing to do. However, Minhwan could actually understand what the animals were saying in return. His parents waved that off with the excuse that children had a lively imagination.
His mother got pregnant once more, yet she fell down the stairs and ended up having a miscarriage. Minhwan was only 8 years old when his father decided that it was time for a new start and so they moved to New York city. During the move, one of the cats they had at home came to Minhwan and told him that it had been no accident; Minhwan's own father had pushed his mother off the stairs.
Unable to talk to his parents about this, Minhwan left Korea with the bitter knowledge their family wasn't what it seemed. In New York, they found and apartment and Minhwan felt miserable because of the lack of animals surrounding him. His father found a new job at a veterian centre and his mother eventually picked up a busy social life. Because of this, his parents are hardly ever home.
Now Minhwan is 21 years old and still lives with his parents for the time being, but he is saving up to find a place of his own. At the moment he has a job as an animator and cartoon artist and designs several animations or images for websites. Usually his creations are animal-themed.
Although Minhwan comes across as having a shy personality, he is actually really outgoing, friendly and pure-hearted. Unfortunately, he doesn't trust many people, so this happy side of him is more or less reserved for animals. He spends his days in parks with his laptop, just sitting on the grass and listening to the birds that tell him stories from all over town.
Another big hobby of his is music, because it takes his mind off of things when he is pondering too much. He even got himself an electric drum kit, but because the mice in the attic kept complaining, he doesn't play it too often.
And to add some random facts; he is a vegetarian, has a pet hamster named Bumblebee, likes milk tea and all sorts of sweets and cakes. His favorite color is red and he's not quite sure whether or not he wants to continue making animations the rest of his life.
Preferred RP Style: paragraph over IJ would be best.
