What are they from? Shinhwa~
Human/Mutant/Vampire: Mutant
Ability: Shapeshifting
Background:
29 year old JunJin is Eric's cousin, their fathers being half-brothers who were fiercely competitive with each other. Eric's father was the older brother, the only child of the mother's first marriage. After Eric's grandfather died of a heart condition, his wife remarried shortly after, and gave birth to JunJin's father. The two brothers were fiercely competitive with each other from the start, and it only got worse as they got older. JunJin's grandfather treated Eric's father as if he was his own son, which fueled even more JunJin's father's jealousy of him - especially when the company was passed onto Eric's father.
The younger of the two brothers was given a place on the Board of Directors, but this was never the position he had wanted. He had always believed that despite being the younger of the two, the fact that he was his father's son would have granted him the company. It had never, ever crossed his mind that the company would be given to his half-brother.
Sibling rivalry turned into barely concealed vindictive rage, and the only thing keeping JunJin's father from slowly bringing down the company from the inside was the hope that maybe, one day, he would still be able to make the company his own.
The two brothers had their own children, and their sibling rivalry was passed down onto Eric and JunJin. Although growing up in a similiar enviroment, with both families being very wealthy, and despite being only one year apart in age, the two cousins were completely different in personality and mindset. Eric sees himself as no better than anyone else despite being rich, and he's carefree and wants nothing more than to just have fun. JunJin, on the other hand, firmly believes that he is better than everyone else. He's a rich, pompous ass, who knows he's a rich, pompous ass, and he embraces it.
JunJin attended the best schools and one of the best universities, and with a carefully balanced mix of charm, aggression, persuasion and skill, he is able to either woo or intimidate almost anyone to any of his ideas. As a boss, he can and will be brutal to anyone who works beneath him and does not meet his high standards - but no-one can ever deny that he is the best at what he does, or that he holds himself to those same high standards. As a rival, he will use any means necessary to crush his opposition. He knows when to kiss ass, and when to kick ass.
It also helps that as a mutant with shapeshifting abilities, he is able to manipulate situations when things aren't quite going his way. A brief appearance as someone else at just the right point in time, making a quick phonecall to someone in another person's voice ...
The ends justifies the means, and since JunJin deserves the best of the best, he figures all methods are justifiable.
After highschool, he attended a university in Europe, and after graduating with flying colours he was given a job with a popular French fashion magazine that was owned by the family publishing company, swiftly rising up the ranks to become Editor in Chief. He loved Europe, he loved his job and he loved his lifestyle, but a year ago he recieved word that his uncle had died, and that his father wanted him to return to America - his father has plans on making sure that Eric would not be the owner of the company for very long, and that the company would return to the 'rightful side' of the family.
It took several long months for JunJin to decide whether or not it was worth coming back to America just to bring his cousin down, and another few months for JunJin to wrap up loose ends in Europe, but now he is in New York, and after spending the past two weeks settling in to New York life again and finding his feet, he will soon be starting work at Eric's company (still as Editor in Chief of his magazine), and making his cousin's life a living hell.
As for his mutant powers; changing his voice is the easiest. He is able to perfectly copy the sound of someone else's voice, but its only the sound of their voice - their actual way of speaking would be recognisably different unless JunJin knew how the person talks before mimicking them. He is also able to change his appearance and identically copy the form of someone else, but he would need to know the person before he would be able to mimic their behaviour or body language. If he's tired then it's harder to hold an appearance change for longer periods of time, and it also takes a lot more energy from him to be able to change into a form that's very different from his own (such as a woman or a child). But he has been able to shift faster and hold it for a lot longer the more he 'trains', since he is a very competitive person even against himself.
