background .
christian kwon grew up in laguna beach , california to a pediatrician and an optometrist , so his life was pretty comfortable from the start . he grew up near the beach and in a home that was bigger than what was needed for the three of them , but that was his parents making life comfortable for him .
growing up , christian was the kid who had everything , but never treated people as less than . granted , he went to school with the kids who had larger than life homes of dreamed of getting a mercedes for their sixteenth , but he had friends who didn’t have that kind of lifestyle , and never treated anyone other than the way he wanted to be .
his parents were constantly putting christian into various after school clubs to keep him busy , and this was where he discovered his love for music . he started out with learning how to play the guitar , but then he eventually found himself being pulled towards the drums . christian wasn’t a prodigy by any means , but he took the instrument quite easily .
it was no surprise that during high school , christian decided to start a band . it took a lot of trial and error , and for about six months the band didn’t even have a name . during those six months , the band worked together to find their sound and constantly wrote music together until they eventually found themselves with a small gig where they debuted as after laughter .
the band continued to work towards their dreams , eventually recording their first album ( all we know is falling ) and being a part of the lineup for the warped tour following their graduation from high school in 2011 . following the tour , the band began working on their second album in 2013 ( riot! ) and this was the album that catapulted them into mainstream success due to the singles crushcrushcrush , misery business , and that’s what you get . the album went platinum , and they were nominated for their first grammy .
the group went on their second tour , and took a short break before diving into their third album . they were soon releasing brand new eyes in 2016 , and they were off on their first world tour . during the tour , the band released their ep singles club , and finished their tour a few months later . deserving a bit of rest , the band took a year’s hiatus before returning to the music scene in 2018 with their album paramore . the album spawned four singles , and one of them , ain’t it fun , went on to win the band their first grammy .
later in that same year , the band released their self - titled album after laughter , and went on a nine month tour to perform both albums .
exposed .
during his time in the band , christian found himself a committed relationship . the couple were together for about two and a half years before christian finally proposed , and they were both excited to be getting married . their engagement had been a blissful one , and within two years they were ready to get married . the day came , and christian found himself with cold feet , thus deciding to leave his fiancé without so much of a goodbye before heading out of the country .
christian’s name had been slandered due to his decision , and his management team wasn’t sure of how to fix the error of his ways . therefore , when the opportunity rose , his team had him cast on the show in a way to help clear up speculations about him and as a way to fix the tarnished image he obtained following the end of his engagement .
temperament .
he’s a bit of an asshole . not a bit , he is . christian is very much a smooth talker and knows how to get what he wants due to his charisma . definitely the ‘ mr steal your girl ( or boy ! ) ’ type of smooth talker because that’s what he does best . he’s wildly charismatic and has a very strong habit of saying things he doesn’t mean in order to get what he wants .
his emotional and romantic stunting mostly stems from him purposefully putting up walls that he makes nearly impossible for people to break down . after the ugly ending to his engagement ( and joining the cast of exposed ) , christian has shut himself off from others not only for his image , but because he simply can’t deal with it anymore .
can be quite the meme sometimes . never truly knows what’s going on , but somehow manages to put two and two together . has a really loud laugh when he truly finds something funny , and probably radiates himbo energy like there’s nothing to it . not really a point of his personality , but he’s always finding a way to make something musical ? whether it be drumming his fingers , constantly humming a tune he can’t get out his head , or randomly singing a song when he hears a word from the lyrics .
headcanons .
christian identifies as cis male and as non binary . this is mostly due to the fact that he that he doesn’t identify to any gender , but he acknowledges that he has been socialized as a man . he is fine with someone using he / him / his and they / them / theirs pronouns when speaking to or referring to him .
very much so romantically and emotionally stunted , therefore he bides his time with casual sex and noncommittal acts of romance . typically can be found slipping out of beds in the middle of the night , never returning texts / calls ( or blocking the number entirely ) , and at times ( and considered to be his worst trait yet ) will pretend as though he doesn’t know who the other is .
don’t ask him about technology because he doesn’t know ! despite being twenty - seven he can be quite ... behind the times . the only reason he has the latest gadgets and such is because his management team ensures that he has it .
his stage fashion and off - stage fashion styles tend to differ greatly . when on state , christian can often be seen sporting the typical drummer attire : half - opened button downs , form fitting jeans , vans , and looser tees . in short , he likes for his shirts to be loose as he really gets into playing . as for off - stage , it ends to be a little more refined . he can be seen wearing a touch more designer and he likes layers even when it’s hotter outside . still an avid fan of half - opened button downs , but instead of jeans , he’ll replace them with shorts depending on the weather .
his signature within the band is often dying his fair various colors , with the most common being pink and blonde . he tends to get a perm because he likes his hair to be curly / fluffy , but a slick back with an undercut hairstyle ? chef’s kiss .
he only uses a variety of customized drumsticks and he cannot see ! do not ask him to look at anything when he first wakes up because chances are he will have to get super close in order to see it . typically alternates between his glasses or contacts .
hi everyone ! i’m gonna be a bit late to plotting / opening since i’m trying to remain on top of my homework , but i promise to be here with my intro in about an hour or two’s time !
