sometimes , if not most times , suyeong was mindless with his words . no one was worth his genuine thought or care , thus how he ended up in yet another conversation he wasn’t even sure what was about . the other person was speaking intently , surely they were passionate about this .
did suyeong seem passionate about it too ? maybe that’s how he’d ended up in a conversation he wasn’t looking to have… “ wait —- what’d you say ? ” a quite blatant but still kind way to say i wasn’t fucking paying attention , if you asked suyeong .
while suyeong wasn’t the type to trust men , nor to take an actual liking to them , he often surrounded himself with them . he was gay , sure , but he hated men —- that didn’t make him blind . and of course , didn’t make him abstinent . sometimes it wasn’t all about manipulation , sometimes ——-
he bumps softly into the other , and the giggle that falls from his lips is much too sweet and much too innocent for a boy with his intentions . “ i’m sorry , i didn’t see you… how could i have missed you though ? you’re quite a sight to see . ” and his smile is as honeyed as his words . sometimes ? he just wanted to have some fun .
whiny . whiny was certainly a good way to describe the way suyeong was acting — the way he acted quite regularly , really . he was quite used to getting what he wanted , even if he used alternative measures to get it . even if he usually whined to men that were weak and gave in at the simple blink of his beautiful lashes —
something just shy of an actual whine leaves the boys mouth as he damn near pouts . “ come on , please ! do it for me… ” bargaining , of sorts , is what he’s resorted too . it’s much harder to convince someone that you can’t ( or won’t ) drop onto your knees for to do your dirty work . he thinks for a moment he should stick to manipulating men...
“ you bake me one little cake , whatever curse you want — something small , just enough to be annoying , and i’ll never bother you again . ” his hands tug softly at the flowing sleeve of her long dress , “ pretty please ! ” if anything , he could annoy the girl into baking him a cursed cake .
they say opposites attract , that they complete each other in some way or another , but jinhyuk could not disagree more . opposites did not attract & the opposite of him was absolutely insufferable . the opposite’s name was suyeong & jinhyuk couldn’t fucking stand him .
from the moment water boy had stepped into his room , the room he’d been alone in for almost three years after everyone refused to be roomed with the hotheaded boy who would probably singe their hair in the middle of the night , jinhyuk wasn’t fond of him . maybe it was because of his intense hatred for his space being taken over or that him & water didn’t mesh well , maybe it was even that suyeong was too beautiful for his own good & he fucking knew it .
long story short . the two didn’t quite see eye to eye on most occasions .
today wasn’t any different . jinhyuk was exhausted , his body ached , the faint pulsing against the burn scars littered across his body didn’t help the situation . all he had wanted was to lie down in his bed so he could doze off & forget the world for seven hours until he had to face it again .
of course , his roommate didn’t have the same plan .
upon walking in , jinhyuk tried to ignore the two voices in the living room . one of them was suyeong’s & the other some poor boy he was sure was getting screwed over right about now . feeling his blood boil , he toes off his shoes , throwing his bag onto the table before making his way into the kitchen hands gripping down on the counter , “ suyeong , sweetheart , ” he grits out , “ get that boy out of our place before i physically throw him out myself . ”
before coming to avengers academy , suyeong hadn’t met many other mutants . he grew up with his human mom , spent most of his time with humans , doing mundane things . sure , he’d encountered mutants now and again , but hardly at the mass he did once he got to the academy . unlike most mutants , suyeong didn’t know much about the mutant world or which powers could hurt him most —- he’d been foolish . he wasn’t foolish anymore .
suyeong understood now more than ever that jinhyuk had the ability to hurt him worse than most did . he was perceptible to flames & heat —- he was weak to them . it made his body go into overdrive and his powers lose their edge and god forbid he burn himself on a pan or he’d have hell to pay . jinhyuk knew this too , of course , but he also knew suyeong could hurt him just as badly . suyeong wonders sometimes , in rare moments of contemplation about the two’s relationship , if that was the only real reason they had to hate each other so much . even wonders if maybe it was a fear of being weak due to more than just their powers . opposites attract , after all .
those moments were easily outweighed however by moments just like this one . his legs on either side of some boy whose name he can hardly remember , it’s just on the tip of his tongue which is conveniently about to be in said boys mouth until he hears jinhyuk’s voice . he continued to lean in , unafraid of jinhyuk . they’d lived together for three years and aside from holes in his favorite shirts he’d never once been hurt . of course , the boy he was seconds from sucking face with did not seem to have the same sentiments .
a quick i have to go , a muttered excuse that suyeong didn’t even bother listening to . they all trembled at his touch , at his lips on their skin and his back on their beds , but they trembled even more at jinhyuk’s words . they were petrified of him . suyeong , however ——-
hands wrap themselves onto jinhyuk’s unfairly well defined chest , a dangerous game suyeong is playing now but he loves to play anyways , “ now that was not very nice baby . if you wanted to be in his place you simply could’ve asked . ” he feigned an innocence much too soft for what he was implying , and then simply let out a high pitched laugh as he retracted his hands from the other . leaning himself against the kitchen counter , he continues to speak , though this time his words aren’t honeyed . “ you’re acting like a fucking prude . i can’t believe you scared off my kill of the night . ----- mind your business next time , firefly , or i’ll flood the whole room . ” it’s an empty threat , sure , but he still says it with plenty of venom dripping from his words .

THE BASICS
faceclaim’s name and occupation: hwang hyunjin of stray kids .
avenger’s name: nam suyeong .
hero name: siren .
date of birth and age: 08/16/8699 .
birthplace: jeju island , south korea .
power: hydrokinesis is the ability to create , shape & manipulate water , and a number of other liquids , in any form . this power is also known as water bending or water manipulation .
strengths:
the user can manipulate water in any state , be it liquid , gas or even solid . this gives the user the ability to manipulate ice and gasses to an extent .
the user can harden water to form tangable things such as shields , weapons or walkways .
the user can draw strength from water , and even heal most of their wounds with it . they can also heal other’s wounds , though it’s more draining .
the user can summon mass amounts of water from surrounding areas .
weaknesses:
while the user is able to manipulate any form of water regardless of state , the user is not able to create ice nor gas .
the user has a lower resistance to fire , thus burns easier and much worse .
when the user creates water using their own body , like things such as water blasts , this can quickly dehydrate the user due to the water being pulled from within them and thus is dangerous .
summoning or shaping mass amounts of water also significantly weakens the user , and often requires rest for recuperation .
hydrokinesis is useless when used against stronger hydrokinetics . all attacks made can be redirected as the stronger hydrokinetic can take control .
the user is less useful in fights against pyrokinetics due to their powers being counteractive & their increased chance of serious injury .
the user is less useful in areas where water is less abundant or where there is no water around .
the user is unable to create water out of thin air . the user needs a source , even if it is a small amount that he can make larger or water from within himself used to “ create ” water . in anycase , the user can’t just make water appear when there is none .
years in the academy: three .
occupation: student .
IN DEPTH
origins: TRIGGER WARNINGS — abuse , mentions of sexual abuse & rape , mentions of suicide , descriptions of method of suicide .
nam suyeong was born and raised on jeju island in south korea . he was primarily raised by a single mother , his father having left them when he was too young to truly understand that he was never coming back . he spent a lot of his childhood into his teen years watching his mother want for things she couldn’t have . whether it was jobs she couldn’t seem to get , a dress she couldn’t afford , or most probably , a man who just wouldn’t stay . you see , the men in suyeong’s mother’s life never stayed . and she always , always wanted them to .
suyeong spent most of his life watching men walk in and out of his mother’s life , and his own . at first suyeong would get attached to each man , craving the love of a father that he so desperately wanted , but soon enough he realized wanting things doesn’t get you anywhere . look where it got his mother . man after man using her , and throwing her away . soon enough , suyeong didn’t find himself easily attached to anything or anyone — everything in this world was temporary anyways .
he began to lose his trust in people , too . some days he wondered if anyone had any good left in them at all aside from his poor mother . seeing men that would scream at her at the top of their lungs and beat her black and blue… and it didn’t help when some of her lovers took quite a liking to him instead . the longer the man stayed , the worse he showed himself to be . whether he was beating them up or sneaking into suyeong’s room most nights while the boy said nothing because his dear mother just wanted to be loved — they’d never have a happy family . he’d never have a picturesque life .
suyeong never really knew his father , but he , like his father before him , was a mutant . his mother was human , helpless and frail and needed to be protected . his father had always said he’d protect her , protect their son — but he lied how most men did . suyeong didn’t spend much of his older years wondering about his father , not until his powers began to truly manifest , of course . they’d always sort’ve been there . his mother had always known , from the moment he was making shapes from water during tubbies . but he didn’t , until he needed to .
the worse the man , the worse the wounds . he doesn’t really remember the first time he found his mother crying over her split lip and bruised cheek but he remembers how it felt so natural as he helped clean her up to use the water to heal her . to fix those wounds . not how other’s did , no . he didn’t just cleanse her skin with the water but he could use it — use it to stop her pain . on the worst nights , he’d pass out trying to make her stop hurting .
suyeong was scouted by the avengers academy when he was sixteen years old and recently orphaned . he’d found his mother days prior in the tub of all place , blood pooling around her . he tried , he tried harder than he ever had but with no proper training it was no use and by the time she got to the hospital , even with all the healing he’d done , it was too late . he blames himself , blames that he wasn’t powerful enough to save her , wasn't strong enough to save her , wasn't ENOUGH to save her . of course , it was what ended up putting him in the sights of the scouts . someone with such healing ability from their hydrokinesis at such a young age — thus he began to attend the academy . he had no place else to go , after all .
suyeong is now somewhat of a condradiction . while he doesn’t seem harmful or ruthless , and while he seems to take quite a liking to men being gay and all , his sunshiney smile and feigned innocence is often used against the men he takes to bed . he doesn’t trust most men , and has few genuine close friends of either gender but is much less trusting when it comes to guys . of course , that doesn’t stop him from sleeping around . he often takes pride in making men want him when they can’t have him , making them feel how his mother did . after all , that’s all men ever did to her .
he isn’t always nice , and doesn’t really pretend to be . but he isn’t evil , either . he’s had it rough , and anyone who sticks around and looks hard enough can see it in his eyes and the way he closes almost everyone out . he’s pessimistic when it comes to most things and doesn’t dare tell anyone everything about himself lest they know too much and use it to hurt him , or worse , leave because of it . but he has some close friends who know just enough that he cares for genuinely .
above almost all else , he’s cocky . he holds himself in high regards , at least outwardly . especially when it comes to men , he’s sure everyone wants him and isn’t afraid to act like it . he doesn’t ever seem self-doubting or as though he has a war waging against himself inside but looks , looks can be quite deceiving .
aside from his history and personality , there’s his powers . his grasp on his power is much stronger now , his control and use of his ability has significantly improved during his time attending the academy . if anyone were to ask him , he’d say he should be a senior . he’s talented , powerful , intelligent — but what the director sees is that he’s emotional , even if he tries to hide it . his feelings rule him in the worst ways and he can lose control due to it . one day he’ll be ready , one day he’ll be a wonderful and useful assest for seoul , but not today .
