WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH MY CHARACTER?
(an ask game!)
Understanding a characterโs flaws is key to making them well-rounded and believable, so send me a number (and a character, if thereโs more than one option) and Iโll tell you:
a trait they have too much ofย (ex. too much pride = arrogance)
a trait they donโt have enough of (ex. too little pride = insecurity)
a trait they express in the wrong way
a trait theyโre ashamed of
a trait theyโre not ashamed of (but maybe should be)
a bad habit
something they do that hurts themself
something they do that hurts others
a reason (or excuse) they havenโt improved on any of the above
OR
a way that they are improving on any of the above!
โWill you shout me a coffee while Iโm at it?โ he asked, as if he couldnโt just buy it himself. Free food was somehow more satisfying.ย โShit, man, no wonder you donโt look good. Iโve done thatโฆ more than I should admit. Not much of a study sort of person, are you?โ
โ Yeah sure, whatever you want mโdude. As long as I dont have to move from this spot to get it.ย โ He pulls out a few notes and sets it on the table, before leaning back into the comfortable position he had been in.ย โ Should be enough there for both of us, keep the change if you want. Thanks dude, just what I needed to hear. Kidding, kidding, at least itโs finished. Not the best I couldโve done but itโs done and I donโt have to deal with it anymore. Ahh, in general? No. With art? Itโs a bit more complicated. I love it but art history is so boring and critiques can be awful sometimes since you usually hate your pieces anyways, so hearing about whatโs wrong with the piece is depressing.ย โ Heโs rambling at this point but shrugs. โ Speaking of that actually, how does this look? What do you think? Brutally honest opinion welcomed.ย โย
Emery had gone straight to the library after finishing work, needing some silence to work on one of his assignments. It wasnโt due for another few weeks but Em hated leaving anything to the last minute; besides, he always worked better straight after work because he was wide awake and hyped up. โI donโt have any coffee but if you move over and let me use half the room, Iโll point you in the direction of the best coffee machineโ, he offered.
Jihyun made a small groan grabbed his portfolio and bag before moving over to give Emery space. He was finished anyways, just needed a quiet place to sleep before his next class.ย โ Youโre literally the best person ever. Total live savior !!ย โ Heโs more upbeat than he though he could manage but quiets down afterwards.ย โ Getting a late start too?โ
โif i donโt feel like going to get me a coffee, what makes you think that i want to go get one for you? you look like you could do with one, though. rough night?โ
โ because itโd make you a decent person? Besides, iโll pay you for doing such a kind, charitable deed.ย โ heโs half joking about paying the other but itโs not like he doesnโt have money to spare, so he couldnโt care less whether or not he takes the offer.ย โย You could say that, decided to try and finish a monthโs worth of work the night before itโs due. โ
did he stay up all night finishing multiple art projects that are due today because he waited until the last minute? absolutely.ย is he regretting it? definitely. is he gonna do it again next week? you bet!
โ if you insist on turning on the lights, the least you could do is get me a coffee.ย โย
What was his happiest memory? He doesnโt remember much before the age of 7, aย part of him knows itโs because he doesnโt want too but the other part knows he wasย just too young to remember, but thereโs a fond smile at the thought of his parents andย his grandmother as he thinks upon the question and his answer.ย โ iโm not really sure, iย donโt have a lot..canโt remember much,ย โ he pauses for a brief momentย โ but there wasย this one time.. a couple months before my parents passed, they took meUiyaji Baramย Maeul, it was cold and there was a lot of snow but just being there and spending timeย with them.. i think thatโs my happiest memory.ย โ itโs not like he hasnโt seen snowย before,ย but it was the first time heโs seen it in abundance and itโs the only memoryย where he can clearly picture his parentsโ faces.ย
Is that LEE MINHYUK on campus? Oh no, thatโs KIM JIHYUN. From GWANGJU, SOUTH KOREA, the 22 year old has come to study ART. Rumor has it they are PLAYFUL and AFFECTIONATE, but FINICKY and INDULGENT, which is why they are known as THE HUMANIST. They reside in YORKโS RESIDENCE HALL and canโt wait to graduate.
Was born to two loving parents whom died in an accident when he was 5. He doesnโt remember much about them, though his Grandmother tells him everything and anything he wants to know.ย
Lived with his grandmother up until the age of 18, when he decided he wanted to travel to America and attend University. He skypes or calls her daily to make sure she knows heโs okay and safe
Before attending Monarch, he lived with his best friend (whom moved to America with him) and did not start going to monarch until he was 21 as he spent two years just exploring the cityย
his family is very wealthy and has no problem indulging on the the things he wants. he doesnโt care about money and often gives it away to homeless people on the streets, charities or friends in need.ย
Jihyun has no problems making friends with anyone he meets, he likes meeting new people but prefers the company of his best friend over others.ย
When he was 16, he realised that he didnโt look at girls the way other boys did, heโd much rather ogle at other boys when he was out and about, more specifically his best friend, whom he has feelings for. He struggles with this and isnโt fully out as gay. The only person who knows is his grandmother as he couldnโt hide anything from her. **Jihyun is also non-binary -- he dresses very androgynous ( and also loves skirts, dresses, makeup, heels, etc, etc )ย
He loves ART, any type or piece, he loves it. He likes spontaneous trips to museums or art galleries, fashion shows, you name it && heโs probably already on his way. He loves to draw and paint, and his clothes are usually covered in paint or charcoal. ( He has ruined designer clothes without a single ounce of remorse.ย ย
