information will forever be the most valuable currency to jiho, especially so when the sun goes down.
the very moment jiho decided he would go rogue, he signed an unspoken agreement that morality is hardly a concern for his vision. his definition of justice was his alone to debate, something he’s long since come to terms with. it’s a bit thrilling, he’d have to admit, being face to face with someone who had such a reputation among villainous activity in the city. chef had answers and that’s precisely what jiho needed.
the route to shaping plates was becoming more and more familiar with each trip. their last meeting lasted only a few moments, jiho given the task to successfully collect dna of the particular crooked businessman he’s had his sights set on for a while now. it took tedious trial and error, absolutely, but it was done. and jiho was ready to gloat.
jiho didn’t bother knocking, his presence surely wouldn’t come as a surprise. he knew all chef had to do was take a look at his mask to know who he was. it helped ease the worries that plagued his mind, the fact that chef only knew him as selene. if they ever found out of his identity... things would turn sour quickly.
being a sidekick meant that he had to have his eyes and ears peeled at all times, always alert and ready in case something were to happen, a villain (or villains) were to appear and cause chaos. one thing jungwon liked to do, was monitor the cities. he liked to consider himself an all rounder, really. he didn’t stick to one specific city. if there was danger, if he was needed then he would be there as quick as one could be. the spare room in his apartment now turned into a little study room where he could do all sorts of research. but today, he didn’t feel like being cooped up in his apartment, so he decides on a trip to the library.
bag full of notepads, books, his laptop, he has everything he needs as he makes his way to the library. of course, jungwon has to stop by the red bean to get his usual coffee, not being able to do his work without it. the library is relatively quiet, the odd few students around who look like they’re about to yank their hair out from stress. the corners of his lips tug upwards, remembering how that was once him. he finds himself a empty table in the rear corner of the library, out of obvious sight and was actually the table that he had been sitting at ever since his student days. and if you were to look close enough, you’d be able to find the small initials of his name indented into the table. working away, he doesn’t notice the presence as they walk to the table, and it’s the squeaking of a chair that pulls him from his focus. “fancy seeing you here.”
if there was one thing jiho misses desperately from his days as a student, it would definitely be the countless of hours spent in the library. there was just something wordlessly therapeutic about it. jiho, definitely someone who enjoys the gentle thrill learning brought him, could lose himself in chapters and pages.
to the outsider looking in, jiho looks like any other student here cramming for the next test. in reality, he was researching a particular quirk he had encountered a few nights before as selene. jiho picks out just the right collection of books, nodding in satisfaction before finding a place to settle in for the next couple of hours. much too entangled with his own thoughts, jiho hardly notices the man across from the seat he chose. he immediately offers him a gentle smile in greeting, saluting the other before taking a seat. “guilty. kinda needed my weekly dose of old book smell.” jiho made sure to speak in a soft whisper, not wanting to disturb anyone near them. he began to spread his own books out, his curiosity getting the best of him as he glances at jungwon’s workspace. “hero work?”
hi! i go by axel, she/hers and i’m late. that’s going to be a usual thing. introducing resident moon lovin’ vigilante/flower enthusiast/horoscope extraordinaire - min jiho. jiho’s vigilante name is selene by night (yes i’m a sucker for motifs) and by day he runs a quaint flower shop. his quirk allows him to utilize the moon’s energy according to the lunar cycle. you can check out his background and quirk. give this a like and i’ll come to your ims. for plotting and general chatting purposes, i’m always on discord, just lmk if you’d like it. below are just some of my musings, possible connections and a tl;dr for jiho!
jiho’s background can be summed up as the son of a lovingly hippie, happy go lucky mom who blasted ~ vintage music in her flower shop constantly and taught him the meaning of flowers before he could even figure out 2+2=4
in trying to raise him as carefree as possible, he eventually began to shoulder on most of the responsibility of their lil family of two
money was Tiiiiihggght
his dad died before he was born while on the pro hero job, something he used to really look up to
he was well on his way to being a hero at 18 when his mom passed away in the scuffle of a hero diffusing a ~ violent ~ situation (if anyone wants angst, we can figure out a connection here bc,,, jackpot for jiho)
now at 22, he’s a u.y dropout, seemingly just a flower shop owner... Only Not Really
ever since his mother died, he became fixated on avenging the deaths of civilians at the hands of heroes And villains
in his eyes, no living life is worth more than the other, which fuels him to use his quirk at nightfall to figure out the Truth and get revenge... muahahhah
he keeps his identity as selene completely a secret, i can only imagine very few people knowing his double life as flower shop boy
kinda shy by day, badass fuck u fuck ur shit fuck the system by night. u know the drill
personality ~
jiho wants to be perceived as just the quiet flower shop owner from the outside looking in, as it makes it much easier to be selene at the end of the day
he trusts the moon more than anyone/anything else, so it’s only natural he loves astrology and horoscopes. he checks his horoscope everyday without fail and Yes, sometimes he does Fortune Fridays at his shop using his trust hand me down tarot cards. he also will ask within the first 5 minutes of meeting someone (he cares about) what their sign is
he reaaaaaally loves flowers :’) they make him so happy and manage to calm him down when he’s riled up
he loooooooves old timey music (thanks to his mom) and he really adores giving mixtapes to those close to him. he used to sing a lot, but ever since his mom died, he hasn’t done so :(
he’s generally a man of few words, doesn’t believe in speaking just to fill the silence
once he’s comfortable with someone, the mischievous side of jiho emerges. he loves bickering, absolutely loooves it and will provoke ur muse for it (pls give me a bantering plot thats it)
selene is rlly his alter ego, selene is all sorts of witty and crafty and jumping off roofs
jiho has Big problems accepting the two sides of himself and has yet to come to terms that they are both part of Him
basically he’s just a lost boy looking for answers as to why his mom was taken from him.... he also researches similar cases and each night pursues the involved heroes/villains for information
connections ~
give me someone that comes to jiho’s flower shop and lets jiho wax poetic about the meanings of flowers!! jiho would make your muse special bouquets every time they come around :’)
some pals wld be nice... he doesn’t have very many, maybe your muse knows jiho as jiho or as only selene? possibilities are endless
for heros/villains/vigilantes: good ol enemies... your muse sees selene as a nuisance and selene will stop at nothing to prove just that
jiho and your muse like to create mix tapes together!
jiho is most of the time alone and tends to burn out after using his quirk really often, mayb a neighbor who reminds him to stop fuckin bein an idiot???? and drink some water?? and to not skip dinner?
someone who tends to the flower shop with him! he’s a pretty ok boss tbh ur muse gets free snacks constantly
a tarot card pal!
i cannot stress this enough: enemies, frenemies, confidants, all for that and anything and everything else! i’m always down to plot!
