( Han-sol Vernon Choi ; male ; bisexual ) — Hartley ‘Hart’ Andrew-Kook is a nineteen-year-old who is known as hartattack on youtube for their gaming videos. he is described as being charismatic but distrusting.
Guess who’s back? Back again? Aye it’s Reed and I’m trash so I picked up another charrie. Meet Hart, he’s a gamer, and kind of an ubran legend. He doesn’t use a facecam or anything (Yet) so very few people know what he looks like, so when meeting people here they’re the first people to put a face to the name. But this kid is basically a class A genius, he went to a school for gifted children, specialises in logic and math, and uses that while he games. It makes him a ghost, he’s scary good, like there’s an urban dictionary page dedicated to this guy because he’s cult famous in games and no one knows if he’s human, a hacker, or AI. But he’s just good. Anyway read up on him below the cut!!
History
Alright, so Hart’s father (Micheal Andrews) is an English teacher, and in the beginning of his career he was teaching English in South Korea, where he fell in love with his neighbour (Eujin Kook). They got engaged while working there and when he had to move back to America Eujin went with him.
They had Hartley two years into their marriage, and he kind of became their pride and joy. It became obvious from a very young age that Hart was smart, he learned how to speak and walk before all the other kids, never forgot anything that was told to him, absorbed every piece of information given. But it wasn’t until he was 5 years old that he was actually labelled as ‘Gifted’,
Throughout his whole life he attended a special government funded private school for ‘gifted children’. Hart himself had a knack for things logic and math based. But he got pretty bored with all the stuffy guys in suits, and hated that he was expected to become like them.
When he was eleven like a lot of kids he started playing video games, and his knack for logic and mathematics is a great aid in that department. He figures out angles, trajectory rates, reaction times, click delays. It made him a ghost in the online world, the guy who’d show up in game lobbies, and completely wipe out the other team, and then disappear. He has an ubran dictionary page dedicated to him, and only recently started a youtube channel under his normal gaming tag and is waiting to see how long it takes before people realize that he’s not a ghost or AI. But he still has yet to show his face to the internet.
His parents aren’t very happy with his choice to play video games instead of going to university, he was given a full ride to pretty much any Ivy League school he wanted but turned them down to do his own thing instead. So he pretty much gets texts on the daily telling him how he’s wasting his potential.
Oh and never take him(or always take him) to a casino, this fucker counts cards.
Personality:
Hart knows how people work, he studies them, and has picked up on what to say, and how to say it to get the best reactions. Everything in his head is down to logistics and even social interaction is a system for him. He’s a little arrogant, just because he knows he’s clever. But he’s also very distrusting because he’s had people trying to get him to do things for them for years, so he thinks everyone wants something from him and never just likes him for him. He’s pretty lonely, and goes through waves of depression.
Plots:
Gaming Plots
KO: They’re someone who’s been in a game lobby with him before, and have seen first hand why people think he’s either a hacker or AI.
I found: They’re someone who actually has spoken to Hart, though never met him in person. One of the few people on the internet that actually knew he was a human before he made his youtube channel.
Power Duo: Be the tank/healer to his Sniper/Archer (Idk what game they’re playing, but he’s best at being a sharpshooter), so they’ll be pretty much unstoppable.
Challenge: Someone who challenges Hart to all different kinds of games and it turns into a mini series of just trying to find the one that they can beat Hart at.
Misc
Neighbours: They live next door to Hartley, and get to listen to his rambles and cursing through the wall.
Morning Coffee: They get coffee with each other in the morning (when he actually wakes up before noon)
Family Disappointments: They’re both letting their family down in some way, and they bond over that.
Strange Relations: Someone who makes a different genre of video, but they get along really well with.
Mail Messups: The post man keeps mixing their mail up, and it’s become a running joke of delivering it to each other.
