hi, finally! this might end up being a lot shorter than planned because i'm starting to get a headache and i need to go lay down, but let me throw down some basics for you all so hopefully i can get lines fleshed out before saturday adds.
this is cameron kotchanan, 22 years old and born in chiang mai to a thai-american mother and a native thai father. they all lived in thailand until cameron was about ten years of age, and that's when cameron's mom ended up getting a job in us politics so they packed up and moved to washington d.c where his father ended up opening a small, humble little restaurant. cam was a pretty awkward teenager so he didn't have too many friends throughout elementary school, and really only had close ties with ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) muzi (who should be around here soon!) once he and his family moved to dc. the two of them shared interests and dreams which led to them making a pact at probably a really adorable sleepover that they'd head down the same road together and move to korea once they both graduated.
cam's had skills in drawing since a young age, but he knew that drawing alone wasn't where the money was so he decided early on to get into coding and creating technology for people to share. shortly after graduating high school, he finished his first mobile game app which was wildly similar to flappy bird. it unexpectedly gained a ton of traction and was the most popular game in the app store for quite a while. cameron loved the success, but once the death threats started rolling in from people who couldn't beat the game, he decided it would be in his best interest to delete the app off the face of the earth. now he lives comfortably (and paranoid) from the money he made thanks to the apps short success.
so yeah, i don't think i actually stated it anywhere above because i'm tired and my head is killing me but cam is an independent mobile app designer/developer alongside muzi and jinjja but we're still ironing out a lot of details, so stay tuned for those!
he's in korea on a student visa, attending snu and playing soccer on a scholarship for their team. he loves sports, and could ramble on and on about soccer so please don't entertain it or his quiet nature will suddenly be replaced with his annoyingly chatty alter-ego. the same thing happens when he drinks, though, so that's much more advised. get him drunk pls. but speaking of drinking, cameron is also a divorcee lmao. he fell in love with a girl shortly after starting college at snu, and they eloped on a vacation to las vegas. said wife disappeared the next morning, leaving cam to move on with the annulment that same afternoon. woosh.
i have so much more here but i'll probably end up editing it to death before saturday anyway since i'm still figuring out the finer details with ~muzi and ~jinjja. i could use any lines for him besides two best friends and co-workers. i'm not sure if anyone else here played soccer, but it'd be fun to have that one friend on an opposite team who he'd only get to see during away games, fellow snu students, a roommate, people who he thrusts his new app ideas on, fellow star wars fanatics, artsy types he can relate to, ex-flings (m or f) that didn't end up working out, or maybe someone who was turned off by the fact that he was married for a day, anyone who has dogs he could cuddle, foodie friends, maybe a fun group of people to take annual trips to thailand with, fellow dumb americans, etc.

hello apts! i'm still getting things together so this is all a bit up in the air, but i was hoping to fish for lines while i figure out the rest of his things? this is dominic woo, he's 24, and living in seoul for the moment (his words) and originally from london. he's the youngest of two and his parents divorced when he was around nineteen with his mom going back to live in korea after the split. he's only been living in seoul for about a year now in an effort to reconnect with his mom but to also write about his travels, which is his career of sorts though it's mostly him wandering around and writing about what he sees, hoping a publication will pick it up. he's been writing since he's graduated university and though he doesn't have an exuberant life by any means, he makes enough (barely) to get by and to write more. he's not sure if he wants to stay in seoul permanently but is making a point to travel around korea and is probably in it for the long run until he feels like he needs to pack up and see somewhere else at length.
that said, he does tend to float around a lot and is very solidly an introvert. he's definitely a wallflower and needs a bit of a nudge in social situations, but he certainly tries his best. at most, he's kind of directionless and drifted towards seoul after exploring england and europe for awhile and in a lot of ways is trying to find himself without the 'eat, pray, love' kind of scenario (except that it kind of totally is). he's mostly trying to get to know his mom again and korea since he didn't get to visit often when he was younger.
but! he could use about everything! things i'm hoping for him: a roommate, a travel friend, seoul tour guides, beyond seoul tour guides (like jeju, busan, daegu, gwangju, etc.), neighbors, english speakers since his korean is a bit shaky, outgoing types to help him out of his shell, maybe once upon a time flings or exes (of both genders)?
