Human/Mutant/Vampire: human Ability: n/a Background: junsu was born to a middle-class family in korea, though he didn't spend much of his life there. his father worked for a big company that specialized in technology, and he transferred to the new york department when junsu was four. junsu was very close to his father, inherited his love for technology and science, as well as his brains. junsu grew up under his father's wing, learning everything he could eagerly. though his father and mother weren't fluent in english, they did the best they could, and put junsu through the main schooling system so he could better himself in the language. he learned english, as well as korean from his parents, fluent in both.
when junsu was fifteen, his father was brutally murdered, the only signs of violence being his neck, sliced open at the jugular. junsu was never the same. once happy-go-lucky, brilliant and full of life, junsu soon began to distance himself from others, afraid and alone. his mother could only do so much. he delved deep into his schoolwork, determined to become the best he could be and find what killed his father, avenge his death. at 17, college followed immediately after high school, a full ride scholarship brought by high marks and diligent, though socially harmful, studying.
however, studying wasn't all he did. he began to take martial arts, working as hard at these lessons as he did his scholarly ones. once he completed these necessary lessons, at night, he began to frequent the streets and shadier bars, listening to the whispers of people, the rumors. rumors of people with canines sharper than the ordinary human's, perfect for slicing open the necks of innocents. rumors of people unusually fast and strong, with a thirst for blood. vampires. junsu began to change. he roamed the streets every night soon after, became someone else completely, left kim junsu behind and hid behind an alias known only as xiah.
in time, junsu found that not all vampires were like the rogue, or rogues that killed his father. he learned that they did not need blood to survive, and most lived relatively simple, normal lives, like most humans. junsu hated them with a passion, but he was not ruthless, wasn't going to lower himself to the rogue's level.
at 21, junsu's just graduated with his bachelor's degree and is about to go back to gain his master's degree. his father's company has already offered him a part-time job, remembering him from days he used to come with his father to the office. junsu's accepted and is often seen there, doing what he loves most. however, he's also seen at night, still roaming, yet to find the vampire that murdered his father.
Preferred RP Style: paragraph, present tense, over ij is my preferred choice, definitely. :) Anything Else: umm, i guess i could describe what he wears as xiah? usually he's in mostly black. casual jeans, snug but not tight, though they're darker than regular wear, black boots. he wears a black wifebeater beneath a longish black jacket (think angel, that vampire show? XDDDDD had to do it, that was a sexy jacket).
also, i took a lot of liberties with the background, so let me know if it's okay/not okay? D: it's been a while since i had to do a background story in an rpg.
