it’s me back at it again for the third, snarkier (and significantly cuter tho just as viral) iteration of mayday’s resident cf and variety kween yerim!! very sexy of me ik. third time’s the charm?? not much has changed, honestly. the main difference is that rather than acting, she’s got big unofficial center energy and has more work stacked up than she can handle - all in the name of cementing herself as a household name, poor thing. it’s better to be booked, busy, and popular than doing Nothing though so . wins and losses. otherwise!! she’s still a chaotic sweetheart who just wants to live out her dreams and see the world smile while also being stupidly self-gratifying and ambitious, and looking for the best in all of the wrong people.
i’m probably gonna call it a night soon but!! like this post and i’ll dive back into your ims to plot when ive rejoined the living~~~ ^____^
... And it’s me again, Alex, this time bringing you the walking dumpster fire Kang Chanyeol! He is basically the anti-christ anti-Tae in every way possible, and though changes to his character were minimal there were still a few that seemed worth mentioning. As before they’re listed under the cut alongside a brief introduction for anyone not familiar with him. His pages have also been revamped (It was stressful enough getting one theme to work so I may or may not have just reused it) and you can find them all here!
Again I’ll be reaching out to people I’d previously plotted with soon to see what you’d like to do, and other people shortly after to get some new things moving, though it’ll probably be on Taewoo’s account because the notifications on Chanyeol’s are notoriously inconsistent. If anyone has any ideas or a use for this punk though please feel free to hit me up on either account or on Discord (alexmcrw#7717)!
Member claim dropped: Win on a rap survival show purchased by company
So the biggest change with Chanyeol is that he no longer had a win bought by the company on a rap survival show pre-debut. This had previously been a pretty major reason for his resentment for 99 and the downward spiral of his attitude, but since both this and his solo career were tied to member claims I had to chose between them and figured the latter would allow for more interesting interactions and character development. He still has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to 99, but this is now attributed more to general perceived mismanagement of Poizn and their treatment of him.
Major scandal change
Given that scandals play a pretty big role in Poizn’s narrative I was still keen to have at least one major one in Chanyeol’s history. Now rather than it being the above, and blowing up at a fan meet when it was mentioned, it is a particularly heated interaction with a saesang fan caught on film. Rumours of his attitude problem are also a lot more prevalent, and there’s plenty of evidence out there for people to latch on to.
Changes to solo career and new VC: Loco
His career as a solo artist is also much better established now, with two singles and a mini all promoted by the company. Of the three viable claims Loco seemed like the best fit, offering a lot of variety in his discography as well as a less traditionally “K-pop” sound.
Attempted image rehabilitation
This is something I was kind of nudging towards and subtly hinting at before the revamp, but since he’s been playing their game and running down the clock before contracts expire Chanyeol has been relatively scandal free (By Poizn standards at least) Midas are trying to rehabilitate his image and present softer edges to the public. Still the absolute worst behind the scenes though
.
And now a brief introduction for those unfamiliar with this trashbag.
Comes from an extremely privileged background - parents own a successful fashion company but were never really present.
Tried to buy his affection
Struggled connecting with people because they were only interested in his money - still struggles to trust people now
Winds up in a band playing punk rock and falls in love with music.
Offered an audition aged sixteen and sails through - later discovers that his parents paid for him to be seen
Gets a slightly easier ride than his fellow trainees (again paid for by family) which breeds resentment against him
Hate / hate relationship with the company. He seriously despises them and all the decision they’ve made at this point.
Can’t shake the stigma and is seen as a fraud - attitude and outlook take a serious nosedive. decides that if they want a villain, he’ll give them a villain.
If you do right by him he’ll do right by you, but if you windup on his shit-list better get comfortable because you’re not coming back off.
Wants to be a good person - convinced that he’s fallen too deep into the character for that to be possible
All of his scandals are because of his attitude - doesn’t win him many friends
Brutally honest and will pull no punches to spare your feelings
Values authenticity and honestly above all else.
An ego the size of the moon. Will take any excuse to feed it.
Stopped caring for a long time, but now that Poizn are being dragged back into the spotlight something is waking up in him again.
Launched a solo career quietly that he’s treating as an audition tape for other companies, because the chances of his current contract being renewed are laughable.
Hey all, Alex here bringing you the return of the first of my two losers Lee Taewoo! He’s still the same exhausted marshmallow as before, but because of the revamp a few things have been switched up. Under the cut is a list of changes, as well as a general recap of his character for those not familiar. Alternatively I’ve revamped his pages to look at least semi decent (Sorry that they’re nothing fancy, but as someone with no clue about HTML I’m still pretty happy with them), so you can find everything here! No plots yet because the idea of spending more time looking at code this early in the morning / desperately Googling to figure out how I’ve broken something makes me want to burst into tears, but hopefully soon!!
I’m gonna be reaching out to people I’d previously plotted with shortly to see if you want to continue or rework our plans, and I’ll also be reaching out to others over the next couple of days to try and get some new stuff going. If anyone has any ideas or a use for Tae feel free to come shout at me here or on Discord (alexmcrw#7717), I’m always down for brainstorming ideas and writing with new characters!
Group change: Nitro > 1nferno
So it’s probably best to start with the biggest change. Since Nitro have been wiped from the site Taewoo was in need of a new home, and 1nferno seemed like the best fit. Midas tend to be more aggressive with their promotions which fits his storyline, and stylistically the inspo groups are probably the closest to those of Nitro. This means that rather than being in one of the more senior groups, he is effectively a rookie again.
Age change: 26 > 23
Because of this I also figured that it would make more sense to de-age him a little, and as such he is now three years younger. I’ve also adjusted the amount of time spent as a trainee to account for the companies stricter standards, and because realistically working multiple jobs would definitely have slowed his progress, and so he has now spent 6 years training rather than 4.
Slight image / personality change
Before the revamp Tae was very insular and prone to taking a back seat both on and off camera, and whilst I enjoyed writing him in that way, it also made plotting a little trickier. The change isn’t massive, but given his new activities outside of the group he has no choice but to be more present on screen. The way I’ve been describing it so far is a little less Got7 Mark and a little more Monsta X Shownu. When the cameras are shut off he’s still a tired, bumbling idiot with no social skills and very much living in a bubble, but that bubble has now been expanded quite considerably.
Focus on CF modelling
Outside of the group Tae is now known as a prolific CF model after a clip went viral and sales of the product shot through the roof. He has a wide ranging portfolio and is pretty in demand. Sometimes feels a little icky about it, but it’s also probably the quickest way to get his trainee debt cleared and start being the breadwinner for his family again.
Vocalist > Rapper
Perhaps not the most important change, but Tae is now a rapper rather than a singer. His main focus is still squarely on dance, and that’s probably what he’s best known for, but I’m mentioning because I know some plots that I was discussing with people relied on his vocal talents.
And now a brief introduction for those not familiar with this mess of a man!
Lee Taewoo - born Feb 24th, the eldest of three kids
Started out with all the charisma of a damp rag - Vastly improved over the years but still socially inept
Didn’t really have friends as a kid, and still doesn’t have a very wide circle
Despite this he has a compulsive need to seek validation and others approval, and honestly just wants people to like him - will agree to anything with little convincing
Works himself too hard and doesn’t know when to stop
Relaxation? What is that? Taewoo knows only work.
Dating? What is that? Taewoo knows only work.
Fun? What is that? Taewoo knows only - you get it.
The signs of exhaustion are starting to show but he just shrugs them off and refuses to accept them.
Terrified of everything falling apart and not being able to provide for his family if he slows down
Live is a state of perpetual fear of disbandment or being removed from the lineup
Often feels inferior to his peers - not something that he would ever vocalize
A doormat in every possible way - others can walk all over him with ease
Painfully optimistic and positive - rarely seen with anything other than a smile (Unless alone or behind closed doors)
Comes from a seriously disadvantaged background and had to claw his way to the top
They were effectively destitute at one point. Went without food, power,etc.
Started out as a street performer - Taught himself how to dance before sneaking into classes and eventually paying for his own lessons
Worked multiple part time jobs during his training years to support his family
Spent six years as a trainee, decidedly average, and burnt out a month before his debut date.
The second he starts getting paid every cent will be funnelled back to his family.
Knows how to speak three languages and plans to learn more.
A full 164cm tall aka a literal gnome. Will swear that he’s 172cm until his dying breath. Even then will only admit to being 168cm
Values 1nferno above anything else, and will do whatever is necessary to keep things running smoothly
Doesn’t really know what he’s doing. Barely holding himself together, but trying his best.
Hojun has gone on a fucking journey man. At his root he is still the same conniving, POIZN hating, pink onesie wearing self, but a lot has gone down with his revamp, particularly as he has now been around for the past four years (and I made him Jin’s actual age). But yeah, go check out his plots and like this post so I can message you. Alternatively, add me on discord: CrystalSnow#8754 or message me on any of my three accounts here.
Things that have stayed the same:
Still an only child to a single mother who got grey hair because of him
Was an iljin in school
Complex relationship with religion
HATES POIZN
Still stuck around with 99 (for whatever reason)
Bakes like a boss
Privately refers to his dreaded alter ego as “Honey”
Things that are different:
Is now lead vocal instead of main rap
Was only a trainee for four years instead of five (good for him)
Got a stagename: Adam
Debuted four years ago
Is now 26 instead of 23
Does a little variety, but is mostly focused on CF modeling
Also has a YouTube Channel that is basically him dragging others in to bake and chat with him (it’s essentially eatjin with baking)
Jia, the witch of Nightmare, is now the witch of Divinity. She is still, at her core, the same child, but she leans into the “creepy” much less now, on the account of the whole magical girl route they are taking. Check out her plots and like this point so we can talk about some potential threads. Add me on discord: CrystalSnow#8754 or message me on any of my three accounts here.
Born to a Puerto Rican/German father and a Korean mother in Los Angeles. Has three older sisters. She is the weird one.
Moved to Korea when she was twelve after her grandfather developed cancer. Big culture shock for her.
Was a child actor and continued acting when she moved to Korea. It helped drastically improve her Korean.
Speaks Spanish, English, Korean, and German.
Koala.T is intent on marketing her as an actor, but they don’t really let her show her range.
She is a big fan manga and anime, but kind of has to keep her love of horror on the dl now.
Has been around for even less than before, so she is FRESH on the scene.
A bundle of fluff. Very shy, very quiet, has a reserved idol image. Good little Catholic girl.
Will read your tarot if asked. Not that she believes in that nonsense.
Her stagename is now Circe because turning men to pigs is much more chill than murder.
hi hi everyone. it’s me anna, mother of mijung, danny and nari. imma ‘bout to hit your dashes with three intro posts so prepare yourselves lol
aaannyway, mijung is back and better than ever. she’s more or less the same (brick wall emotionally, obsessed w/dance) but finally, she’s getting what she deserves. well, as best as she can, being in 99. the biggest changes are that she’s finally debuted and that she studied abroad in australia for a few years. more details are under the cut, but please be sure to check out mijung’s revamped bio and profile pages for even more info. like if you want me to slide into those ims and check out mijung’s plots page if you have the time! mijung needs lots more connections now that she’s a debuted idol.

Good afternoon everybody, it is Crystal, mother of Wei, Hojun, and Jia about to hit you up with three intro posts. I decided to start with Wei as he literally changed the least of all my kids (because he insists he is perfect as is or something). Here are some plots we could do or like this intro and I’ll slide into your DMs. Add me on discord: CrystalSnow#8754 or message me on any of my three accounts here.
Born in Hong Kong, moved to Korea when he was four, identifies as such culturally at this point.
Chinese father, Thai mother.
Father owns a large business conglomerate, which he was disowned from after becoming a trainee.
His parents are divorced and hate each other.
Does not have a good relationship with his dad at the moment, but gets along with his stepfamily fine. His mom is a bit in the middle.
Both families are rich as hell and he is very much a snobby baby.
Smart af and a model.
Very big on fitness. Is also known for being practical and pragmatic.
Commonly known as “Father Wei” because he’s the voice of reason in B.rite.
That’s the big difference really, he is now the lead vocal, lead dance of B.rite instead of the main vocal in 1nferno
Will lecture you until the cows come home.
Kind of a snake and secretly believes no one will ever love him for him, but it’s chill
lmao i feel like i did nari’s original intro like last week this is weird
okay so nari didn’t really need much changing except to do w/divinity’s concept. she’s still the same cute, sexy, fake af girl she’s always been. more info can be found under the cut and also on her bio and profile pages. my girl is in desperate need of plots, so please check out her wanted connections page i’m begging. like his post if you want me to im you and pls add me on discord so we can talk there, too: annamorgause#4485
she’s still nari
still a fame hungry snake
but she likes her group’s concept more now
kinda
she doesn’t like how unconventional it is or how long it took to debut
but she’s grinning and bearing it like a champ
she still runs her beauty youtube, this time with more company support
she tries to get all the idols she can to get on it
desperately wishes she were in a bigger, better company
and that she didn’t have to share the spotlight w/other divinity members
she’s gr8 at pretending to be sweet and happy tho so most ppl aren’t aware
nari is always looking for an angle to boost her fame
so watch out lol
but for real pls give her some plots she has like none lol
