tw. misled childhood, implied violence.
unfist your rage; children festering violence in their sternums do not deserve to call themselves as such anymore. a monster is born and made; so are you—tell me all of your teething demons and name them in your glory... you do not simply run away from your bestial nature to call your skin human. you weren't, you aren't, and you will never be.
as the last son of three raised among the wolves of the wealthy, xavier, or more of han iseul, had a lot of expectations towards him growing up. a prodigal son with an astute take on his surrounding, he would say that his childhood was normal among the chaebol society, with his parents an amalgamation of two powerful families—the han name was a giant in automobiles and shipping industries, and the kwon name consisted of those dwelling in hospitality and service.
it wasn't all that odd until he was eight, when he was christened into the world that his father was truly in. his older brothers had all followed the same paths, cleared into the underground secrecies that they were told to carry for a lifetime. money laundering, art swindling, and constant briberies to name a few. to stay on top, being corrupt is just a means to an end.
as much as he tried running, his father indoctrinated him as soon as he could. it wasn't that a child was deemed ready for the sight of violence at such a tender age, but it was more of a child being old enough to internalize all the lessons going forward. it was said that the top of the chain died last, as iseul could see in their family, safe and sound as they occupied the throne. as much as he detested it at first, he learned to relent. there was, is, the kind of brewing brutality that nestled in the pit of his stomach since the moment he witnessed these. he hated the fact that his father could see through him, and he hated the fact that he'd succumbed to his rage many, many times to justify his father's judgment on him.
out of the three, and he was the most violent. insung, nine years older than him, did best with micromanaging everything to the point of meticulous execution, including the detail of each bullet puncturing the much-needed discussion. ilhoon, six years above, had the kind of intellectual prowess to back up his silver tongue, carrying out different tasks for the family. and iseul, with his fists, chose to run to a small city in the us, just so that he could find peace with himself.
he was a year into his tertiary education studying computer science when he discovered that there was a way to perhaps undo the strings of fate around his fingers. he unfisted his rage, telling himself that for once, he could use his brain rather than brawn to prove that he wasn't this beast raised in the cage of gilded gold. all the while, ignoring his family's calls to bring him home, he promised that in five years he'll be back to the family business. a lie, in splinters, but all that matters is today, and all that matters is now.
fig i. // personality.
unless they come from sk, not many would have known why xavier has a lot of money, living in the skyscraper of an apartment—a bachelor pad not typically accessible to people his age when they're not palpably working for something extremely lucrative. he has a lavish lifestyle and doesn't shy away from it; sports cars, two to be exact, alongside branded items and endless cards. he will treat people to food regardless of their standings, and while he questions none if someone tries exploiting him for his money, he isn't one to indulge in that for long.
he is flighty, to say the least. his friends are plenty, but he doesn't have too many close ones. he loves leaping from one group to another, mainly due to his tendency to be easily bored. he is adaptive, easygoing, and overall a simple person to get along with. he will mould himself based on his surroundings, but it might make many question which side is the real him.
in the organization, xavier is that talented yet infuriatingly either: a. complacent with his work so he'd do nothing for a while after accomplishing something, or b. dedicated to whatever his current project is to the point where he'd be irked at any slightest disturbance. to sum it up, he's moody yet productive. it's no secret that he's intelligent, willing to learn despite his front. considering his violent streaks, sometimes people might think of him as a field agent, or training for it, but that's the point.
fig ii. // abilities.
his primary line of wave manipulation has multiple applications, with some others being developed alongside the training. in its final form, he surmises that there will be a massive array of possible areas he can control, but currently, he's most trained in these:
force-field generation: he is able to create either a shield or a sphere, which can protect anyone behind it from physical attacks or even energy forms. in other applications, he can also imprison others in it, in case he needs that. it performs like a barrier with the strength heavily reliant on his stamina levels as well as clarity of his mind. for the time being, he can create a field that lasts for about an hour, with the distance spanning around a twenty-foot radius from him.
life energy detection: while the final form of this will be for him to be able to manipulate life force, it's still in the process of development, so all that he can do is detect others' presence and power level at will when activated. it can drain his own energy depending on whether his target's life energy is being cloaked, but for the most part, it helps him know whether or not he can outpower his opponents.
soundwave control: combined with the force-field generation, he is able to create a form of transient domains to lock people in, creating a makeshift interrogation room of some sort. he is able to manipulate sound through its shape, especially when the waves are linear. he can amplify, silence, distort, or redirect sound when the qualities match his required control, which can be weaponized by inducing confusion in others using the surrounding sounds.
fig iii. // connections.
best friends [ 0 / 2 ... any ] -- he's not the easiest to get along with to this extent, but he can be a fiercely loyal friend once he's certain that these people won't forsake him. it can be a group of three or just two separate friends being close to him on different wavelengths. he'd need those who would understand that he can be a bit of a dipshit when the mood drops, and those whom he can pester when he is into hanging out after midnight, especially after cracking codes for work. celebratory drinks, anyone?
crush [ 0 / 1 ... m ] -- let's say that for someone who's into monogamy, xavier isn't the easiest to be in a relationship with. it depends on his whim, really, so when he actually likes this person enough for the past few months, it might lead to something steady eventually. he's a raging homosexual. this can be a feeling that the crush sparked first, xavier did first, or both at the same time, but this doesn't have to be an endgame even if they end up being a relationship from this.
sparring partners [ 0 / 3 ... any ] -- these are those who will help him loosen up after hours or even days of being fixated on the screen. xavier has always had this violent tendency, apparently so, and he's an extremely trained, extremely adept fighter for someone who claims that he ~ does it for fun ~ since he's been technically fighting for nearly two decades, with his father sending him to the best martial arts and weaponry training as a child.
frienemies [ 0 / 2 ... any ] -- he's competitive, and too much of a brat that it's actually intriguing for some to prove him wrong. it's not that xavier is unable to admit his mistakes, but it takes a whole week to get him to do so, because he will prove to himself first that he's actually wrong. these are the people who keep him grounded in a friendly manner; the type to learn and teach him the ropes in both life and career. yes, he's annoying, but he also puts up a good fight, with a fiery temper to match.
intel colleagues [ 0 / ? ... any ] - those who get lunch together with him, those whom he will pester at work, those who think of him as nothing but a pest, those who can see through his talents, those who might surmise his internal struggles, and those who like gossiping with and about him. anything goes! he's not the hardest colleague to get along with, but definitely not the easiest either with how volatile he is.
