hiya lovelies, the name is sun (19, she/her, gmt) and i am absolutely ecstatic to be here with my kiddo kwon taesoo, who is a thief for silent vipers as well as quite possibly the most passive aggressive person there can be !! i havent finished all his pages yet, but here is his bio and statistics page for now. under the cut is an unnecessarily long tldr and i cant wait to plot with you all ♡
kwon taewoo, 20 years old, level 7 thief for silent vipers
so basically he grew up in a poor household with parents that didn’t really have enough time to take care of him as they were more occupied with working, thus leading him to have very damaged relationships with them
(even though he understands that their distance from him was by desperation and not by choice, he still resents them deeply as he practically had to raise himself)
learned from a young age that being dirt poor meant that he had to work twice, thrice, four times harder than most people and so dedicated a huge amount of time in his life to just studying and trying to become better than everybody
flew through school with flying colours ... never really dropped from always being first in the year but developed a sort of bratty personality that people either loved or hated (spoiler alert it was mostly the latter) and learned how to not snap under intense amounts of pressure
read: he has been bottling everything up for two decades now
towards the end of junior year one of his friends managed to get their hands on alterscape and so they both logged in together to try it out of boredom which, unsurprisingly, led them to get trapped inside the game
they got separated pretty quickly and taewoo hasn’t seen them since, but he’s written them off as dead and has made zero (0) efforts to find them
rose through the levels using a mixture of skill, wit, charms and stealing and now sits at a comfortable level seven! he found a bow and arrow during his second day and has been using it ever since, with his skill being fire arrow (so his arrows shoot fire or burst into flames, although it can be used for a limited amount of time)
sometime during his second year in the game when he was halfway through stealing resources from a group, he was found by the silent vipers who took him in, thus giving him a sort of home he never expected to find or actually ever had in the first place and so has a stubborn sort of loyalty and affection for any member of the guild
and that’s pretty much it! now that he’s in his third year of the game and twenty years old, he’s almost (key word: almost) given up hope on ever escaping alterscape (even if he knows that he could have an incredibly bright future if he did) and focuses more on working with the silent vipers and generally raising hell for kicks/entertainment
personality wise: incredibly intelligent, a bit jaded and distrustful of new people, but always hides his suspicions and plans by coming off as bratty which causes people to undermine him, as well as his fairly young age. ambiguously flirty with every person he meets, but that’s more to do with his boredom than anything else. a key trait is that he absolutely absolutely ADORES the silent vipers and he sees their as his solace, like a sort of comfort he can always return to and would probably do almost anything for them
the embodiment of ‘here for a good time not for a long time’
““My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Nothing beside remains: round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
