Forum:Song Chanmyeon (2)

The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

At first glance, Chanmyeon seems like a highly innocent and well-mannered boy. Often appearing as if he's in his own world, he's very quiet and speaks very little which an observed preference of avoiding most social interactions. Despite being so quiet and strikingly antisocial, it seems he intentionally puts himself within the presence of people constantly regardless. In an odd notion, almost as if he's comforted by the presence of other people even if only silence penetrates the air. With a naturally small stature, a charming smile and masked eyes, he seems to radiate an aura that just sends out the message of "protect with your life" to everyone he meets.

Unfortunately, that is not the true persona of Song Chanmyeon. A case of a wolf in sheep's clothing, once unmasked, Chanmyeon is brutal and vicious. Cold-hearted and often toted as a pathological liar, the only person he works for besides himself is his younger brother. His younger brother is one of the few things he still loves in life and would literally kill for, save you even briefly endanger the life of Chanjoo. Not to mention, he is quick with his tongue. Stocked with petty rebuttals and witty remarks, he doesn't let much go and always finds some time to hand back what was given to him, sometimes physically with a punch to the face.

While manipulative and deceptive, Chanmyeon doesn't presence guilt the same way as everyone. In his mind, as long as it's for the greater good of both him and Chanjoo, anything goes. While he still has an established set of morals (like don't kill anyone), when needed, he'd easily bypass these morals to protect himself and more importantly, Chanjoo. Can they really be called a moral system if he barely lives by them? Probably not, but he likes to think he isn't too much of a monster. He's also a kleptomaniac, although he's managed to tame his urge to steal anything within sight to levels where its become more bearable to live with.

Chanmyeon might as well just be stamped with the label "Mentally Unstable" five times over because he really isn't in his right mind a good majority of the time. It seems like it, as he often pertains a persona of normal human behavior to keep attention off him and pedal money to his younger brother, but he's in dire need of therapy or some type of psychological care. Suffering from a tragic combination of Disassociative Amnesia, PTSD, and occasional Psychosis, he spends a good chunk of his time just mediating to keep his troubled and broken mind at bay.

Regardless of his mental state, you have to admit the kid's a genius. Much more intelligent than many give him credit for, he has a way with, well, everything that bends it to his will in a matter of minutes, maybe seconds. Showed him one fun programming trick? Now he knows how to create a whole entire illegal website from scratch and mask himself in the deep web while he sells things on the black market. Cast a spell in front of him once or twice? Now he can do every spell that begins with the same letter. A dedicated and determined learner, he picks everything up instantaneously, so quickly it's become quite problematic.

Chanmyeon's intelligence has led him to do some clever things to evade suspicion of not only his activities but his crumbling mental health. By assuming the position of a quiet and innocent boy, he has effectively blended himself into the background. If that doesn't work, he simply scares them off with rumors of psychopathy (which are all started by him ironically). While some find it annoying to be underestimated, Chanmyeon delights in it, enjoying the ability to surprise his opponents with his skills. Evident by his surprising physical physique despite his size. He appears to be very nonchalant and apathetic regardless of which story you believe about him, both are untrue anyway.

As he usually operates under a high level of anxiety and instability, Chanmyeon regularly suffers from mental breakdowns, which for his own sanity, he titles "visits from his 'friends'". They can occur once to three times a week and usually prey on one of his biggest fears: his claustrophobia. Chanmyeon hates small spaces with every fiber in his being. If he can't fit in between somewhere with at least a little bit of wiggle room, he freaks out and has a panic attack (which only makes the situation worse, but what are you supposed to tell him?). This also contributes to his overall cynical nature and negativity.

With the ability to perform both nonverbal and wandless magic at the same time (due to immense practice, almost every night of Sixth year spent up till three AM trying to cast basic and intermediate spells without his wand and eventually nonverbally) if he focuses hard enough, he's certainly a force to be reckoned with. Let it be known, his sleep schedules are highly irregular and he's pretty much just been reduced to sleeping when he has the time. This merely worsens his overall health and makes him quick to irritation on a daily basis. At this point, he essentially lives off of energy bars, sarcasm, and the blood of his enemies the knowledge of his brother's wellbeing.
