Minho was born in Maui, the youngest in his family of five. His childhood was pretty much average, although with two older brothers, 'average' involved many pranks and much teasing on Minho's behalf, and several embarrassing predicaments (including the time his brothers dared him to steal a pair of their next-door neighbors underwear, and the usually friendly older lady had caught him at it). And if he was just a little spoilt by his parents at times for being the youngest, well that was 'average', too.
Whilst he's never been stupid, Minho's talents didn't include academics; he never excelled at any particular subject in school, except for physical education, but the only class he ever outright flunked was Chemistry (it just made no sense!). And straddled the thin line between flunking and passing when it came to English. And History. But that was okay for Minho, because there were other areas where he did excell. He'd discovered that, not only did he enjoy swimming, but he was actually really good at it, and all throughout high school was part of the swim team, and he was one of the best, too.
It was during his senior year of high school that Minho discovered something that wasn't quite average. It happened when he was trying to sneak back into the house after a night out, and as he came quietly through the front yard the garden sprinklers had come to life. Minho had not been impressed, but as he'd looked on, what was coming from the sprinklers hadn't been water anymore, it was snow. It melted soon enough, and he was able to make it safely, and dryly, into the house without being detected, and straight away tried to find out how that had happened. With some secret experiments, and a couple of strange accidents, Minho came to discover that he could freeze things. And not just liquids; he'd found that part out when he accidentally froze a moth (it had startled him).
Minho graduated high school with mixed results, but good enough to get himself into a college. He'd picked the easiest and least costly course available to him, regardless of his actual interest in the subject: hairdressing. He didn't really enjoy it, and it certainly wasn't an ambition, but Minho turned out to actually be pretty good at it all the same, and so kept up with it till he graduated.
It wasn't until a couple years into college when Minho had his first, real, relationship. He'd met Sunny on a beach, and things had just happened from there. She was interesting enough to keep Minho's attention, and cute enough to capture his heart. It was pretty serious too, but after a year things started to go a little pear-shaped, when Minho couldn't accept one of Sunny's 'jobs' as an exotic dancer, and after breaking up, she simply disappeared.
It was quite heartbreaking, and he cried once or twice. And then he threw all of his time into college, college parties, and swimming, until his eventual graduation. After that, Minho decided he wasn't ready yet to settle down and be serious, and certainly not to use what he'd spent all those years learning. So it was that he saved up money, and decided to move to New York, the city of fun and parties and not settling down and growing up - to his mind, anyway.
And that's where Minho is now. 22 years old, and newly arrived in New York, ready to live it up to the fullest. He's just signed into a job agency, not looking for anything excessively permanent just yet, and awaiting the first job they'll give him.
Minho, in a nutshell, is a big kid who tries to act like a grown up. He's got a stubborn streak, and a temper - quick to flame, but quick to die out too - and he has a tendancy to get his words (especially his sayings) mixed up. He's prone to tripping up, and he's afraid of bugs. He likes to look good, and has a particular thing for skinny jeans (because they make his legs look amazing, he thinks). And he's still learning to control his power, which always flares up when he feels particular emotions strongly. And through all that, inside beats a giant, fluffy heart that just wants some attention.
Preferred RP Style: dirty, your room ;D Anything Else: I have been coerced into this D: and I feel kind of nervous claiming someone I know little about. Some of him is kind of Gu Jun Pyo-ish, but in my defence, he said somewhere that he and Jun Pyo are very alike 8D and that is ALL I need for a valid excuse for all of this >_> and if I ever make another claim again, I'm resorting to bullet points D:
