— bio
easton cho, born in canada and lived in his korean-canadian household pretty much right until starting uni. in his last year of compsci – thank god, because studying is so damn boring.
had the most amazing & supportive father, which almost made up for missing a mother. almost. neither parents had an anomaly, so after he was born his anti-anomaly mother couldn’t cope with trying to care for a baby she couldn’t see and dipped. it’s okay though, he doesn’t remember and doesn’t feel like he needs to.
grew up in a small port town, locals didn’t hate him but they didn’t love him. he had trouble learning about his anomaly at first. so they teased him by calling him a ‘ghost’ because of certain aspects of his invisibility that people could catch on to. like the faint shadows, footsteps, his form getting caught on camera.
but that didn’t bother him. he caught on from a young age that keeping his cool kept his visibility in check, too. he grew up to be pretty apathetic. not because he’d learned how to forgive and let go and all that peaceful stuff, but he realized it was just too hard to care for so many things all the time.
there was one thing he cared about though.
video games. why else would he pick a tedious, awful major like compsci. east was pretty chill most of the time but when he played video games he was a different person.
his favorite was league of legends. make of that what you will. bro gets tilted. it’s honestly refreshing to see him show some emotions when that happens.
later on his father suggested sua and east couldn’t find it in himself to argue or look for another promising school.
so off he went 👻
— personality
he is so chill. too chill. like when you get mad at someone because they just seem like they don’t care about anything– that’s east. be careful. if you missed your exit on the highway he wouldn’t tell you.
things just seem so easy for him because he doesn’t take anything too seriously. got a test tomorrow? no worries. he studied for 80 hours already and can lend you his flashcards if you need them. he just does what he’s gotta do. because if he doesn’t finish that first he can’t play video games. and his goal is to play the games.
90% of the time he’s like this. just living life. but there is the 10% where so much has built up he just explodes. in a good way or a bad way. nothing can hide forever, and emotions are no exception.
so… he grew up in a male-only household. yeah. he doesn’t really know how to talk to girls. not in a misogynistic way you know but he’s pretty damn awkward at first. in fact, he’s probably awkward as hell to most guys too. he spent most of his social development years screaming at his teammates on league.
please try not to cry in front of him. he really doesn’t know how to make you feel better. a pat on the back? or like… offering you a tissue? he’s pretty apathetic, which doesn’t bode well for most of his past friendships, but he can’t help it. this doesn’t mean he’s ill-willed though. he does have morals. and tries to be a good person. but he’s probably not the best you’ll ever know.

he is kinda like a ghost sometimes.
sometimes he’ll stand really still and try to make the couch disappear with his intense focus. this has never happened though. but he won’t give up.
switches in and out of invisibility pretty often as it’s gotten easy for him. and will probably forget which one he is if he doesn’t look down to check.
but honestly he feels most comfortable when no one can see him. probably something to do with his pretty lonely past.
sometimes he’ll photobomb normal human’s photos for fun. it is especially effective when they happen to believe in ghosts.
i’m not gonna lie invisibility is pretty self explanatory and simple. so to recap things that are different about his invisibility: only visual. can still be sensed with touch, smell, hearing. still emits body heat. still casts faint shadows in light. can be captured by cameras, infrared, etc. heighten perception can detect his presence too.

well of course gamers. someone who finds out just how tilted east can get.
study partner
maybe someone is in trouble and east holds their hand and now boom no one is there to be in trouble
east being a little creep & watching someone but they happen to have higher perception so they’re like wtf???
someone causing the 10%. east has never felt so many emotions in his life but your muse just pushed him over the edge
a ~romantic interest~ east is bi. but it would be interesting if he is in denial about the men part of it. not homophobic but maybe more self sabotaging.
