WHAT FORM WOULD YOUR DAEMON TAKE?

Mustelid

ㅤYour daemon would take the form of a mustelid! Those who have weasel daemons are sneaky and inquisitive people who don't take no for an answer when there's something they want. They aren't afraid of breaking rules to get to where they want and are naturally subtle and cheeky individuals.

Specifically, a Stoat

ㅤYour daemon would take the form of a stoat! You are an independent and strong-willed individual with no lack of confidence. More so than others with weasel daemons, those with stoats have a nervous and energetic energy, and are forceful people who would rather ram right into conflict than avoid it. They aren't the hardest of workers, but they're exceptionally stubborn and have an impulsive streak.

WHAT FORM WOULD YOUR DAEMON TAKE?

Cavitave

Your daemon would take the form of a cavitave! Those who have cavitave daemons are proud and talkative people who are natural showoffs. They thrive in the spotlight and are naturally charismatic and admirable people, though they aren't known for particularly particularly patient or sincere.

Woodpecker

Your daemon would take the form of a woodpecker! You are an observant and determined individual who likes to achieve. More so than others with cavitave daemons, those with woodpeckers tend to overthink things and become consumed with their passions. They are sociable and generous to their own people, but competitive to those outside their group. When deciding on your daemon's appearance, consider your woodpecker's coloring and species. Typically the more bright a daemon's plumage, the more flamboyant and intense the individual. Most woodpeckers have bright coloring, indicative of their person's stereotype of being ambitious and competitive, but duller-colored species like gila woodpecker may be more subdued. Finally, give your daemon a name. Daemon names can be any length but are typically something unique. Play around with names and sounds until you find something that speaks to you!

Fox Your daemon would take the form of a fox! Those who have fox daemons are cunning and sly, socially savvy but preferring to work behind the scenes. Their expertise is charm and seduction, and their mastery over words combined with their playfulness makes them natural tricksters.

hi-hi, i'm EG (or eggy, whichever) and i was here a few months back with a muse i was really stoked about and had a lot of plans for, but life kind of prevented me from investing as much time into her (and rp, in general lol) as i would've liked! but, fortunately, the new year is basically a free hack for more downtime, so here i am again, with a plate that is significantly less full :3 i have every intention of bringing #her back, but i figured i'd start off easy this time with a veteran idol who can forge more temporal connections and work my way back to a rookie, and then, eventually, a staff member! so, without further ado, this is gong huiseok! extremely-reluctant-morally-ambiguous-nepo-baby and idol-actor. to know him is to.....know him. below the cut is a "brief" rundown of him as a person, pretty soon i'll have some pages linked that are mostly self-indulgent but definitely help paint a more comprehensive picture for his celebrity profile and his history in the industry, as well as his familial background. do-too-much gene, chronic world builder disease, etc. etc. but this should be a good huiseok starter pack while i'm work-week lazy!

personage

—— welcome to infinite entertainment! it's GONG HUISEOK, who is the MAIN VOCALIST of INDIGO. i’ve heard whispers that the 25 year old is pretty INTROSPECTIVE but lowkey PRIDEFUL. also, doesn’t he remind you of LEE MINHO (LEE KNOW)?

— gryffindor as a person, it’s not a secret that huiseok is someone with strong bravado and determination, but he’s also someone who likes to play the hero and challenge the status quo - maybe not always for all the right reasons, but who said that gryffindors were always the good guys? he’s daring, nervy, charismatic and every bit the puffed up jock type underneath all his pretty boy persona. reckless and impulsive, he has a tendency to get himself into tricky situations, but never falters in his confidence that he’ll make it out on the other side - no matter who he has to take down on the way up. he’s independent and guarded in all the ways the world has taught him to be, but has a not-so-easily-hidden naïveté that betrays the untouchable image he’s created for himself in his personal life and his perspective of the world. — daemon: cavitave in the world of daemonologie, huiseok tests out as a cavitave. according to the science itself, people with this classification are natural showoffs. like others of his kind, huiseok thrives in the spotlight and has a particular affinity for garnering admiration. while his gryffindor sensibilities cover the bases for his compassion and that pesky desire to help others (whether the reasons for that are entirely pure of heart or not), his daemon is a reminder that regardless of his surface-level charms, as a person, huiseok is dynamic in his perspectives and motives, but is generally pretty consistent with regards to his core values. or lack thereof. — infp-a (assertive mediator) introversion, intuition, feeling, perception. despite his larger than life perception of him and his appreciation of attention, huiseok is quite introverted and values his alone time a lot. he prefers close, smaller friend groups to massive ones (admirers excluded, obviously! but, really, only from a distance, thank you) and his strength in this regard speaks to how quickly he had to grow up while still somehow never really growing and his fluctuating ability to see the “bigger picture” in most situations. he sees things through to the absolute end, almost to a fault, and takes things a little too personally. he’s emotional but reticent, expressive but subdued. in all matters outside of music and performance, he’s not quite as detail oriented as he probably should be and more often than not lets his impulses guide him. his idealism could be his downfall but the other elements of his mbti suggest that a big enough fall could knock some sense into him. — type 8: the challenger the powerful, dominating type: self-confident, decisive, willful, and confrontational. despite the way he presents himself, huiseok is deceptively fragile, but outwardly very strong-willed and -minded. he’s the kind of person to speak his mind, even if it means stepping on a few toes, when it goes against his own beliefs and well-being. he has a strong desire to be self-reliant and to prove his strength as an individual after spending so much of his life being perpetually taken care of and wilting under his father’s shadow, and has a hard time coming to terms with the fact that sometimes being vulnerable is okay.

bare-bones bio TW DEATH

huiseok looks just like his father. even if he didn’t already think so himself, more and more as he gets older, he hears it often enough that it must be true. he thinks maybe it’s their way of comforting him, but it’s been years and his dad lives on in his mirror; in the pictures that cover their family home; in the comments that people leave under everything he does, good or bad. he lives. and sometimes, when huiseok has a particularly rough day, when the people around him go out of their way to make him feel like he’s as good as wearing his father’s skin, he kind-of hates him for it and then hates himself for hating him for it. all of the best things that huiseok has wouldn’t even /be/ his, if it weren’t for the industry “in” he’d had by virtue of his parentage. he’s gong hanwook and choi sunhui’s only son, the sole carrier-on of his father’s legacy, and that means something. it means everything, actually. he starts young, a fresh face on a children’s show, a child in the presence of adults who make all the decisions for him. he’s cute and he’s charming, and obedient in the way that all introverted little kids tend to be. he takes direction like a champ and they decide, before the velcros are even off his shoes, that he’ll be a star. he is his father’s son. mercifully, they give him his youth, and it’s of his own volition that he comes back into the industry, first through acting and then, finally, through music. becoming a member of indigo feels like the first thing that he ever really does on his own. with acting, he’s a name and a face, but as a member of a group…okay, he’s still a face, but he has his merit, too; his voice, his dancing, his words. that much feels true. for a while, at least — and, for years, it is. he does “music” and takes on acting roles when time allows to appease the tiny voice in his head that still, always, wants to make his father proud. his father dies in an “accident” in late 2019 during the early unfolding of a scandal. huiseok does not take it well and neither do his father’s fans. he feels suffocated. people are a lot more forgiving than he deserves when he lashes out about it. there’s headlines about him partying, getting belligerently drunk and causing scenes that are only ever documented through hearsay, the year after it happens and people respond with pity. he’s a boy without his father, afterall. he’s 22 and that ship has long sailed, but he lets them think that they understand what things were like between them. it’s complicated and, more than that, none of their business. maybe it’s guilt, a sense of obligation (the persistence of millions of middle-aged women who want to relive their glory days,) or just time that leads huiseok back onto the screen. he couldn’t tell you for sure himself, but his big return to acting following the passing of his father is a major role on a drama. the comments are about what he expects him to be, but he learns to tune out the part of his brain that aches with the comparisons and copes with the money he rakes in from brand deals, more roles, growing publicity, higher demand; the lucrativity of a pretty face - his father’s face. it makes his mother happy. (he is his father’s son.)

THE FATHER (and MOTHER!)

his father, Gong Hanwook, is a household name, an actor who rose to fame in the early 90s, first through a popular drama and then eventually for his visuals and multiple roles in deeply culturally impactful movies and media. there was a point in time where he was more or less the equivalent of a brad pitt, a tom cruise or a leonardo dicaprio in hollywood and, to this day, he's always a part of the "great actors of south korea" conversation. his wife, huiseok's mother, Choi Sunhui is a retired supermodel who rose to prominence around the same time as his father with a career more comprable to a devon aoki or a kate moss in terms of iconography. her star has faded some, but she's still someone that young women look up to for visual inspiration and it's fairly often that pictures of her modeling, and even off-duty, in the late 90s early 00s go viral. huiseok was always closer with his mother than he was his father and that really only worsened as he got older, tossed into the spotlight, and people began to compare the two of them visually. his father's passing unearthed a lot of really complicated emotions about this and coming to terms with those emotions has been one of his more complex points of development

tldr A lister parents, daddy issues

random anecdotes

he trained for six months, haters speculate that it's because the company was eager to push him after news of him signing with them dropped to capitalize on his name, but fans argue that he was just that talented upon arrival — the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

every now and then, a cover he did of grind on me by pretty ricky when he was like 17 makes its rounds through the fandom. people argue about it being spread because he was a minor and the subject matter is objectively super suggestive but others say it's funny, so it's something people fight about for forty days and forty nights whenever a new gongdoongie unearths the clip again lol

despite his focus these days being on his acting and honoring his father's legacy (and self-promo tbr...), he posts cover (dance and vocal) videos to the group's official youtube channel every now and then. he's also, in the last year or so, opened up a youtube channel of his own, but it's heavily curated and a lot more focused in Gong Huiseok the brand and legacy than it is on gong huiseok, the guy

plots

huiseok went out on a limb during their relationship and said the quiet part out loud, while muse, either unprepared for the seriousness of a love confession, hung up on another lover or not ready to say it at all, left him hanging. it’s not easy to be the first one to say the l-bomb, and after taking a chance on their relationship, only for muse not to say it back, huiseok ended things, ego bruised, but head held high. years on, wounds healed and seeing each other being an inevitability considering how small their world is, huiseok is willing to pursue a friendship. forreal this time. it’s just that… old habits are so hard to break, aren’t they?

in their rookie days, reckless and, quite frankly, cynical, huiseok and this muse went out on the town and made quite an event of things. so much of an event that pictures leaked onto forums and started quite the conversation. the only problem is that, in all of the commotion, muse wound up being the only one to take the heat. things were never quite the same after that. it’s been ages and huiseok wishes they could just move on, but that’s really easy for him to say.

something about this muse breathes life into huiseok's drearier days, they’re a breath of fresh air at the end of a particularly rough work schedule, and a warm reprieve from the coldness of the industry. it’s impractical to see each other all the time, but huiseok makes it a point to see them as often as possible. with no siblings and his mother constantly on the go, it feels nice to have someone that feels as good as blood in his corner and he hopes that, in some way, he makes them feel that way, too.

huiseok and this muse have been hooking up pretty regularly, both content to keep things mainly transactional while they blow off steam but the more time they spend together, the more they find they have in common. and what’s worse, they’ve started working together now, too.

huiseok and this muse are industry rivals, filling a close enough niche in the market that it causes constant comparisons between the two of them. fortunately, (or unfortunately, depending on who you ask,) the rivalry translates into a beef that’s withstood both the test of time and petty match-ups during variety show specials. they pretend to get along to keep things from flying into a media shitstorm, but if they were anything but celebrities, it would probably be on-sight.

huiseok overheard a conversation in the waiting room of a music show that put a bad taste in his mouth. now, he looks at this muse with something half-way between disdain and confusion. for muse’s part, they don’t have the slightest clue what could have caused this animosity and have taken to believing that the rumors of huiseok being cold and difficult to approach behind the scenes are true. on both ends, this is all a terrible misunderstanding, but it’s hard to clear up when neither of them has a clue in the world what the other’s problem even is.

someone who initially hated huiseok for being the kid who got put into the lineup through connections, not merit, but has come to understand him a lot better due to their forced proximity over the years - he’s still kind of a brat who got into the group with an unfair advantage, but he’s more than proved himself a capable and valuable member of the team (more than likely an indigo member but i’m open to exploring other idols having some initial wariness about his relatively easier path to debut)

someone who saw huiseok through his spiral in 2019 following his father’s passing; they offered him a reliable shoulder to cry on, someone to come to when everything felt like too much, a genuine friendship, and usually cleaned him up after his benders. huiseok loves and respects this person, and has spent the years since paying all of their love back

they’ve done a special stage together (award show, music show, any of the gayos)

they’ve appeared on variety shows together

they’ve bonded over often staying late in the company building

they initially only knew of each other but grew surprisingly close over the course of the tour

a mutual friend of theirs has set them up on a blind date once or twice to varied success

they think that huiseok is someone up his own ass who doesn’t respect his seniors after a misunderstanding made it seem like he ignored them altogether in passing

they’re a fan of one or both of huiseok’s parents (his late father was an actor and his mother is a retired model) and huiseok feels awkward about it

Daemon Test for JAMIE TARTT

A dæmon (day-mun) is a type of fictional being in the Philip Pullman fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials. Dæmons are the external physical manifestation of a person's "inner-self" that takes the form of an animal. ... Dæmons are usually of the opposite sex to their human, though same-sex dæmons do exist. 

Cavitave

Your daemon would take the form of a cavitave! Those who have cavitave daemons are proud and talkative people who are natural showoffs. They thrive in the spotlight and are naturally charismatic and admirable people, though they aren't known for particularly particularly patient or sincere.

Toucan

Your daemon would take the form of a toucan! You are a gregarious and dominating individual who is focused on your image. More so than others with cavitave daemons, those with toucans are blunt and impulsive people, optimistic souls who don't care much what others think. They are devoted to their passions and successes, and they have a fiery temper when pushed.

When deciding on your daemon's appearance, consider your toucan's coloring and species. Typically the more bright a daemon's plumage, the more flamboyant and intense the individual. Most toucans have bright coloring, indicative of their person's stereotype of being talkative and confident, but duller-colored species like toucanets may be more subdued and thoughtful.

OH she is PERFECT for Jamie, full stop! Her name is Prinscilla or ‘Princess’ as a nickname.

Was wondering what ur analysis would look like of a barbet bird, a bearded barbet specifically? (Unsure if theyre all that different personality wise than other barbets)

oh i love these little birds so much, if i saw one in real life i'd probably die from joy.

i'm going to copy the quiz description of barbets and then elaborate more because i think it's a good jumping off point!

You are a self-focused and adamant individual with an assertive streak. More so than others with cavitave daemons, those with barbets are introverted and highly selective people, loyal to those who share their perspective but otherwise quite removed and critical. They have pride in spades — external validation doesn't mean much to them, as they know their self-worth without having to jump through anyone else's hoops.

unlike their cousins the toucan, most barbets (not all -- see below) are actually relatively solitary birds. they glean insects but also are frugivores with a huge range of diet. they're not very good fliers (though they are excellent seed dispersers in their forest habitat) and nest in wood holes, using their strong legs and talons to grip onto the bark and climb. most notably, they're incredibly noisy. these birds will have duets back and forth, but they're definitely not songbirds. the coppersmith and the tinkerbird are most notorious for this... they have this repetitive call that sounds like a metronome!

the bearded barbet is an african barbet and is one of the more social species, though they're still relatively independently-minded. they're known for their "SCRAWK" call, which sounds a little bit corvidish if you've never heard it before. like other species of barbet, their bills are perfectly adapted for cutting fruit stems, cracking palm nuts, and digging into soft wood to make nests. they will enter plantations and yards to pilfer fruit and their large size makes them conspicuous. their courtship comprises of tail-flicking and food offering, and both parents as well as other members of the flock will help incubate and feed the hatchlings.

someone with a bearded barbet soul would likely be cliquish but particular, quite opinionated and curious within their comfort zone. they have a natural self-confidence and take things in stride; they're generally not the anxious or wary sort, and approach life with a steady demeanor. what sets them apart from other barbets is that they're more group-oriented and seek out likeminded individuals. their altruism and dedication to their loved ones also sets them apart. it may be more accurate to characterize these individuals as helpful and driven rather than sentimental and emotional, but certainly it's up to individual interpretation of the behavior. they're clever but less boisterous than other barbet species are. compared to other barbets, bearded barbets are relatively quiet — this may indicate someone who doesn't always feel the need to speak their thoughts, or reserves that part of themselves for their loved ones. they're certainly not shy though they may come across as more introverted around strangers. they carry themselves with ingenuity and pride; adaptable within their comfort zone, they enjoy variety without needing ambition or notoriety. it's most likely that they're perceived as warm and easy-going, self-driven and curious, as well resourceful and creative. they remind me of xSFPs — Se/Fi or Fi/Se.

Hornbill

Your daemon would take the form of a hornbill! You are a social and bold individual who likes to be at the top of the heap. More so than others with cavitave daemons, those with hornbills know how to lay on the charm, especially when protecting what they love and have worked for is at stake. They are slick people who are good at navigating conversations, more observant and manipulative than most think. When deciding on your daemon's appearance, consider your hornbill's coloring and species. Typically the more bright a daemon's plumage, the more flamboyant and intense the individual. Most hornbills have bright coloring, indicative of their person's stereotype of being ambitious and confident, but duller-colored species like black hornbill may be more private and scheming.
