BIOGRAPHY.

NEGLECT TW

You were unwanted from your first breath. Born of an affair between your father and his assistant, your presence was never anything more than a stain on the Seon family's otherwise pristine legacy. if your mother had gone quietly and accepted the hush money offered to her, maybe you would've lived a life without the Seon household, but your mother was never the type to idly by and allow fate to take its course. No, she demanded acknowledgment of her son, and after a drawn-out legal battle, the acknowledgment was what you received. It didn't matter that your mother was never seen again, or that you never asked for this spotlight. No, you were officially a Seon, so clearly you must be grateful for the luxuries now at your fingertips.

Being the son of a financial services CEO meant you were gifted with the best tutors and education money could buy, but the role of bastard meant you missed out on the love a son was meant to receive from his father. No matter how hard you studied or how many extracurriculars you signed up for, your family never praised or acknowledged your success. All the attention went to your older brother Hyeon, even if he was nothing more than a mediocre version of you. Still, you held onto the delusion that, one day, your success would be recognized by those around you.

The opportunity came a few years after you graduated from university. Your father announced that he was going to select an heir to eventually take over the family company. The competition would be between you and your brother, and for once, you truly began to believe you had a shot at beating your brother. You were always good at finances, and after lurking in the shadows for so many years, you were able to pick up on "trade secrets" that others would've missed. You knew you would make a better CEO than your brother, but there was a small part of you that had doubts. After years of being ignored, was your father finally opening up to the possibility of you? Or was this another way to remind you of your true place in the family?

You wished you were surprised when you discovered your father had never truly considered making anyone other than Hyeon the CEO, but the rejection still stung The realization that all of your hard work was pointless began to eat away at you, and after a while, you found yourself rebelling against your life. What did high grades and ambition matter when you never got a chance to prove yourself? Why try when someone less worthy will end up with the crown anyway? That mentality led you down a dark path, and you found yourself getting more involved with the underbelly of the city.

You never intended to go down the path of corruption, but once the Burning Gods approached you with an offer to join their team, you couldn't resist fading into the shadows of the underworld. As you worked your way up the ranks, your ambition not only came back--- it grew more twisted. You became more invested in white-collar crimes and found yourself on a mission to destroy your family's corporation and similar entities. Why should they continue to thrive after all the neglect they offered you? It was only right that they suffered the same pain you felt all those years. Only time will tell if you complete your quest for justice, or if you end up becoming even more corrupt than the entities you decided to target.

WANTED CONNECTIONS.

Childhood acquaintances: Haneul grew up in the realm of upper-class New York. He didn't have many friends growing up, but he would most likely know socialites or other nepo babies who grew up around the city. Bonus points if your character was/is close to his brother, or if they're something spicy like the brother's fiance or Haneul's ex gf/bf. Anything related to rich assholes sticking together would be sexy honestly.

Enemies: This connection is pretty open-ended-- could've been someone who got banned from the casino and holds a grudge against the higher-ups, someone who got screwed over by Haneul or the Burning Gods during one of their crimes, or just someone who doesn't appreciate Haneul's arrogance or attitude. Haneul definitely has a complex about him from years of watching his brother get all the spotlight, so he has no doubt rubbed a few people the wrong way.

Ex-Fiance: I don't think Haneul has ever truly known love, but this would've been the closest he got to that feeling. This one can be developed through the dms, but it would be sexy if it was with a member of a rival gang or maybe a red eye member. Perhaps your character was using him to try and discover the Burning Gods' weaknesses, or maybe he was connected to your character's target and being with Haneul was a way to get closer to them. Anything that ended with betrayal and grief would be great.

I’ll probably add more ideas later but honestly down for anything :)
