                                          — On the wicked wings of time, thy kingdom comes

Meet [ Kim Minseok ]

He is a [ twenty-five ] year old [ manager at chapter one ] currently residing in [ sunhwa apartments, #304 ]. Visit  and greet  him today!

Personality:

Minseok has a bit of a resting bitch face which really hides the way he is. He is a care taker at heart, he will do what he can to make the people closest to him smile even just for a moment. He is stubborn in his ways though, when Minseok has decided you have to be a very special person to get him to change it. He knows what he likes and knows what he doesn’t. He isn’t hard to please. He enjoys the trivial things in life, he likes the way sunlight makes shadows when it peers through trees. He likes that his cat, Mittens will come and paw at him at 3am every morning for food but his therapy dog Puddles won’t ask for food. Minseok is very observant, as someone who enjoys the details in life he takes note of little things people do.

Minseok has a few nervous habits that include his hands. He drinks out of plastic bottles or plastic glasses instead of glass because he will freeze glass much more easily. He hides his hands in big sweaters and sweatshirts to not show his purple/blue knuckles. He doesn’t wear tank tops because the scars on his shoulder make him feel exposed. Minseok will always have white roses in his house, no matter the season. They were his late mothers favorite flower, its his way of thinking of her on the daily.

Spirit: Boreas, God of North Winds and Snow

Powers: Cold manipulation

+ Able to make small snow flurries by cupping his hands and blowing into them.

+ Able to freeze things using his hands, not able to freeze plastic, not able to freeze people the most he can do is cause a stinging sensation

Weaknesses:

-          Hot, as in temperature foods, he can eat them, but it makes his abilities harder to use and it makes him feel sluggish

-          Due to his accident his left shoulder/elbow are quite weak, he still can’t lift over 20 lbs.

-          Direct sunlight for long periods of time makes his abilities harder to use and begins to hurt his eyes

Biography:

{7}

Minseok is only 7. He remembers the dinner, the lack of conversation that night. He remembers the unsettling silence as it washes over him. His Father begins to speak. “We are getting divorced.” Minseok thinks he knows what that means.  Separation. He does not understand why his parents would want to separate. Its all that was said that night. {10-14} Minseok learns how to travel between houses. Mom’s House and Dad’s House. He does not travel between homes. His Father forces him to learn Chinese, play the piano. He won’t have a failure of a son he says. He Wont. And he doesnt, Minseok performs perfectly, but that is only thanks to the fact that he gets some relief from his mother. His mother does not force him to do much of anything. She lends him books, teaches him about flowers and the language they speak. She congratulates him and loves him and is nothing like his father. {15} Its when he is 15 when things begin to change for the first time. It’s when his piano teacher strikes him on the hand for the last time. Causing him to bleed and then pass out. He goes to the hospital and learns two things. One,he is anemic. Two, his mother did not know what was going on at his fathers. His mother is revolted, claims full custody of Minseok and he never has to see his father again.

{15-18}

Minseok begins to take iron supplements. It comes less of a routine and more of a habit each morning. His mother continues to encourage him in school, though he thinks its a waste. He gives up the Chinese lessons but surprisingly continues with the piano. At age 17, Minseok discovers that men as well as women are beautiful. He meets a boy named Jinyoung and he falls so head over heels its sicking. Jinyoung doesn’t mind Minseok’s cold hands or his blank stare. But Jinyoung does seem to mind other people as well as Minseok. “It’s not like I never loved you or anything, its just…I dunno we are young? Dont be so serious.” This is the first time Minseok has had his heartbroken. He continues on with many different types of relationships, he graduates. Top of his class and his father is not present.

{18-20}

College begins and slowly Minseok begins to fall into some sort of routine. Every morning he wakes up, takes his pills, goes to class, goes to work (a small part time job as a cashier) and then goes home. On the days he doesn’t have work he does homework. His mother slowly begins to get ill. Minseok has to make a choice. Continue on with the education, he doesn’t think will go anywhere or work and help his mother. He chooses his mother. Minseok drops out of college at 19, not even completing a degree much to his mothers dismay. He says he has to work hard to pay her hospital bills. On June 25th, Minseok takes his mother for a routine check up. It’s supposed to be a normal check up. “Kim Jae-hye, your mother, Minseok she only has around a month left in her… The cancer, it’s speeding up faster then we thought.” Minseok does everything in his power in 30 days to make his mother happy. He buys her flowers everyday. He plays the piano for her, knowing how much she loved the sound. They would go on short walks on her better days. On the better days when his mother didn’t seem sick. When the month that ticked away didn’t feel like anything.

Death is a funny thing. Minseok almost feels like he felt it coming. He knew it was coming of course, the doctor had said so. July 27th, he goes to his mothers room only to see her to be peacefully asleep. He walks over to her body and grabs her hand. He feels no pulse. The funeral was a short one. Minseok chokes up when he is asked to speak about his mother. About how much she meant to him, she was the ray of sunshine in his life. His Everything. Minseok swears he can see his father in the crowd.

{21}

A year after his mothers death, Minseok falls into a deep depression. He lives off of the money his mother left him, which isn’t much. He doesn’t eat, barely sleeps. Minseok discovers booze, discovers it’s numbing affects. He gets drunk more often then not. Stumbling into his house early one morning he discovers a note of his late mother. “ Dear Minseok, My Dearest Son, I know that I am going to pass soon. We both know I only have such little time left. I’d like to write this letter to thank you for being the best son I could have ever asked for. I know that life with me and your father hasn’t always been easy. I know that. I just hope that I could have been a good figure for you. I hope so. Please continue living life to best of your ability. Don’t let this cold world tear you down. Love, Your mother”

Sobering up is different for everyone.

{22-23}

Minseok cuts back on the booze, on the clubs. On the loud bars, the numb feeling of stumbling home to no one. He works, oh god does he work. He saves up all his money, well, expect for the GSX-R 600 on his birthday. He decides he is going to move. Moving to Seoul may not be the best idea that Minseok has ever had but he holds his head held high with the words of his mother in his heart. Along the way he tries again at love. The first couple times it doesn’t work. They say he is too focused on everything but them. He doesn’t disagree. On his 24th birthday he has enough money to finally move to Seoul.

{24, The Accident} After finally moving into the apartment complex he has looked at forever Minseok feels as if a whole new world as opened up for him. He is in a new area! A new life! March this year is a cold one, the snow has yet to melt and it feels as if spring will never appear. On a one last trip to Guri, his home town, his rental car is packed with the very last few things he owns. Its nothing really impressive. Minseok never really had the chance to really collect anything that he thought was important. He is still nervous about foreclosing the house though. It’s a long process the people who know alot more about this then he does. Thats what they said. He just wished it would hurry up already, that and he hoped his father wouldn’t try to take the house. In his daze, he gets t-boned on the highway, throwing his car off of the road and rolling into the snow banks on the side. Minseok is trapped under the car and has no way of escape. He tries to crawl his way out, only sliding open the right side of chin and his lip. Bleeding and freezing, he thinks hes going to die. Going to die just before he could start over. Before his very eyes, a figure appeared. It was a tall man, with a long beard laced with frost. “I will save you,” It began and Minseok thought he saw God this was his enterance into heaven. It turns out God, or A God, was Boreas. The God of North Winds and Winter. Passing itself into Minseok as the next vessel. Minseok passes out in the snow. When he awakes much later, he is no longer trapped under a car. He is in a hospital hooked up to IV’s with at least a half a dozen people around him. They say It’s a miracle he survived. He decides to not tell them of the God or the fact when he holds his water the swirls of frost that pass over it.

No miracle is without sacrifice it seems.

He has to get stitches on his right lip and chin. Frostbite had already taken ahold of his left shoulder and was moving down his arm by the time he was rescued. Long scars that look like fingers or ice cracks ghost his collarbone down his left shoulder, stopping right before his elbow.

{25-present Minseok}

Recovery takes awhile. Minseok has to go to physical therapy twice a week for 3 hours. His left shoulder is still quite sore and he cannot lift anything over 20 lbs. Minseok adopts the stray kitten who he sees near his apartment complex. She is white with black feet, he names her Mittens. He also gets a small therapy dog. A black and tan Shiba Inu, who, despite all his trying, only comes to the name Puddles. Puddles is there on his bad days, his stay in bed all days. Minseok finds he really likes working at Chapter One. His mind feels at ease and its not too much physical labor. He discovers rapidly what he can and cannot do. Wood will not freeze unless its wet, dont touch people, he will sting them. Even if he doesn’t mean too.

These days Minseok is just looking for someone to break down his ice walls, someone to look past his blank stare and cold hands to see the warm heart within.

BASIC

NAME: James Patrick Macnair NICKNAMES: Most of his friends and acquaintances call him Jamie, and that’s his preferred name. His mother and sister call him Jack at home, and his father calls him James and nothing else. His maternal grandmother called him ‘Little Dolphin’ or ‘Little Shadow’ when he was young. AGE: 24 years old BIRTHDAY: 13 May, 1993 GENDER: Cisgender Male PRONOUNS: He/him/his

FAMILY

( miscarriage tw / death tw )

MOTHER: Emma Cecelia Macnair, née O’Conlon   FATHER: William Charles Macnair FAMILY: The Macnair political dynasty, Jamie’s paternal line, rivals the Bushes, or their great rivals, the also Irish-American, liberally-minded Kennedys, save for one thing: no Macnair has ever successfully taken the White House. They’ve been senators, and lieutenant governors, and diplomats, and Patrick Macnair, Jamie’s paternal grandfather was a mere ten million votes from the vice presidency, but none of them have ever succeeded at what truly matters. If William Macnair does not reach Washington, then one of Jamie’s cousins, or Jamie himself, will. They have to.  The O’Conlons are a Boston Irish Brahmin social legacy, and the union of their brightest, most beautiful star, the intelligent, bull-headed, gorgeous Emma O’Conlon with the ambitious, hungry, handsome William Macnair was the reversal of their fortunes, their physical wealth squandered on a series of ill-advised investments by one of her uncles, a mistakenly named patriarch, in the seventies. At first, the couple’s clashes seemed catastrophic, but Emma played the part of Will’s wife easily, and as his own star rose and hers dimmed, she found herself no longer arguing. ‘For the sake of their children.’ Her father died when she was young, she was extremely close with her mother, Bridget, and prior to her mother’s death in 2011, Bridget made it clear to the O’Conlons she believed her child had been replaced by an imposter, a wolf among them.  SIBLINGS: Isobel Bridget Macnair, his twin sister, younger than Jamie by 58 minutes. Their parents had two miscarriages after their birth and did not have any more children after the twins. They refer to Jamie and Isobel as their ‘miracle babies’.

FAMILY EXTENDED

FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY: He loved the beach even as a child, and their family used to have picnics on the dunes that he misses as an adult.  FAVORITE CHILDHOOD TOY: A stuffed elephant named Babar, after the children’s book character. EMBARRASSING STORY: His mother likes to tell the story of his first word anytime she wants to embarrass him. His first word was not ‘mommy’, or ‘daddy’, but ‘Is’, and Isobel’s first word was ‘mine’.  FAVORITE FAMILY MEMBER: Before she died, his grandmother Bridget. A STORY ABOUT THAT FAMILY MEMBER: She was the closest thing to Indiana Jones you could find in a woman with small children, and rumour has it she was a spy for the OSS during the Second World War. She knew how to pilot small aircraft but never renewed her licence after her youngest child was born.

PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES

RACE/ETHNICITY: White / Irish-American (with some French and Scots ancestry) NATIONALITY: American HEIGHT: 6′1″ ( He considers his height to be a problem ; Isobel is quite tall as well, 5′10″, as are their parents. ) BUILD: Slim and muscular TATTOOS: One, a little star on his ankle to match someone else’s PIERCINGS: None, but Isobel nearly convinced him to get his ears pierced once HAIR: Always neatly cut, and nearly always soaked in seawater FACIAL HAIR: He can grow a beard easily, but is more likely to be clean-shaven than not, as there’s a belief in his family that stubble is more ‘unkempt’ than ‘handsome’ HAIR COLOR: Brown, lighter because of the sun EYE COLOR: Brown as well DOMINANT HAND: Right-handed, like his mother, his father is left-handed, and Isobel is ambidextrous ( self-taught )  ANOMALIES: An array of freckles ( some might call them moles ) and a prominent birthmark on his neck as well as one on his cheek, slightly above his jaw ACCENT: He would call it standard American, but he tends to use Southern Californian slang as a result of his upbringing there PHYSICAL DISABILITIES: None, though he’s had a number of physical injuries over the years, including numerous concussions, two broken ribs, a fractured wrist, and a torn ligament in his right leg that left him with a limp for quite a while LEARNING DISABILITIES: None, though there was a time he and Isobel were suspected to have ADHD ( Isobel may actually have it, their father didn’t carry on with the evaluation as he believed it would be putting a stigma on them far too early ) ALLERGIES: Some types of pollen, kiwi fruit DISORDERS: Anxiety disorder ( unacknowledged, though he self-medicates with refills of the klonopin prescription he got for ‘a short episode’ a few years ago ) FASHION: Jamie does pride himself on his appearance ( the result of being born into a family that places so much value on appearances ) and he does consider himself to have cultivated a decent, classic wardrobe, when he’s not wearing a wet suit or boxers and a grey t-shirt that was originally white. He uses those looks for campaigning.   NERVOUS TICS: Pushing back his hair, not meeting the person’s eyes QUIRKS: He would consider his favourite food to be ice. Once he specifies granitas, it makes more sense, but he says, quite plainly, ‘ice’. Can crack a coconut open with his bare hands if he tries hard enough.

LIFESTYLE

HOME ADDRESS: He lives in Malibu, in a home he shares with a roommate ( or two, depending on whether the second is away ) situated right on the Pacific RESIDES: Los Angeles, California, United States BORN: Lennox Hill Hospital, Manhattan, New York City RAISED: San Francisco, California, though his family moved to Los Angeles when he was seven, as his father believed he had a better chance in that voting district, considering how deeply, deeply liberal San Francisco was ( not that Los Angeles was really much better, but it was better than San Francisco ) VEHICLE: Tesla Model X he shares with Isobel when she’s home. Their father used it as a pawn for his campaign, seeing as there were certain values he needed to display to be elected in California, and from those values, he chose ‘support of alternative energy sources’. His environmentalism, especially as it concerns global warming and the rising seas, and trash in the Pacific, and landfills, and everything Jamie really cares about, is nearly nonexistent, but he can still point to the electric Tesla his children received for their birthday !  PHONE: iPhone 6, though he has an Android for ‘more secure communication’ he never uses, partially because he’s not a politician and he has nothing to secure. Yet. LAPTOP/COMPUTER: MacBook Pro, 15 inch display, and a Windows tablet for no particular reason. PETS: Two dogs, Alpha and Uno, the former is a labrador-dominant mutt, and the other is a border collie, both were rescued in Los Angeles. Uno is being trained as a search and rescue dog.

HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION: Jamie and Isobel are graduates of the Harvard-Westlake school, the best education that money could buy in Los Angeles, and the personal hell of anyone who breaks under pressure  COLLEGE EDUCATION: University of California, Los Angeles. Though his first choice was Georgetown, he decided to go to UCLA in order to remain with his family and have a view of the ocean ( the Potomac was nice, but he couldn’t live in it ). MAJOR: Neuroscience MINOR: Spanish CAREER: Medical Student at UCLA, semi-professional surfer EXPERIENCE: He is two years into medical school, and intends to become a surgeon, if he can survive residency at a major hospital without imploding. He’s been surfing for almost 15 years, inexplicably drawn to the Pacific and given his first board by a man who saw something in him, and he can’t be torn away from his boards no matter how hard some people may try. 

POLITICAL AFFILIATION: The Republican Party, through his affiliation with his parents RELIGION: Lapsed Roman Catholic, he was raised in the church with his sister for appearances, and was baptised and took communion but he can’t bring himself to return to Catholicism now, not with all of its cruel scandals and blatant lies BELIEFS: He finds himself praying to a higher power, to God, in his times of great distress, but he feels, logically, as though God’s existence is not possible, leading to an internal conflict only worsened by the vitality placed on religion by the Republican Party MISDEMEANORS AND FELONIES: None. He values his future far too much.  TICKETS AND/OR VIOLATIONS: A few scattered parking tickets that were resolved promptly and without hesitation. They’re impossible to avoid when you’re parking in LA. DRUGS: Klonopin for anxiety, as needed, but he was prescribed it.  SMOKES: No, he needs his lungs to swim ALCOHOL: He drinks ‘socially’, but it’s becoming less and less social DIET: He doesn’t eat red meat and seems to be lactose intolerant so he avoids milk as well

ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: He doesn’t like to label this, he believes he could love someone of any gender. SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Like his romantic orientation, he doesn’t like the idea of labelling himself, especially during a time when he’s quietly experimenting with his sexuality. MARTIAL STATUS: Single, with a few scattered flings, and, his worst fear, he’s coming to like the Zealot in a way he could never have imagined. CHILDREN: He doesn’t have any, and has not ( knowing or unknowingly ) fathered any, but he would like to have some in the future, he thinks. And he would like to adopt whether or not he can conceive with his partner.  AVAILABILITY: If he was in a serious relationship, he would not be, given his deep disdain for cheaters. LOOKING FOR: Someone who will make him feel the way the saltwater does.

LANGUAGES: Jamie took Spanish in high school and liked it enough to continue it in university, and it’s politically advantageous for his parents that he speaks it. He wants to learn Arabic or Farsi to really rile them up, and because he’s always been mesmerised by that script and the way the syllables flow from open mouths. Making his parents angry is small in comparison to understanding poets in their native tongues.

PHOBIAS: He fears death, first and foremost, and has numerous other little anxieties he can’t quite seem to shake ( his fear of nuclear war is quite profound at the moment ). HOBBIES: Surfing, swimming, biking, hiking, soaking up the sun like a lizard, anything that allows him to be outside instead of caged inside. 

ONE BAD HABIT: He leaves cups everywhere, all over his house. ONE GOOD HABIT: He’s very clean and believes strongly in good hygiene, especially as a future surgeon. ONE HABIT THEY CAN’T BREAK: He’s trying to break the cycle of social media addiction and stop checking his phone so often, but he kind of has to, doesn’t he? ONE THEY’VE BROKEN: He’s finally managed to put sunblock on every time he goes out. 

FAVOURITE

LOCATION: The beach behind his house in Malibu SPORTS TEAM: Golden State Warriors on the West Coast, Boston Celtics on the East GAME: He doesn’t play very many, probably Pokemon or Mario Kart because he used to play those with Isobel when they were younger MUSIC: He loves just about every kind of music there is, including country and classical, and has the extraordinary luck of always finding something on the radio he likes SHOWS: His favourite TV show is probably Game of Thrones, because it’s so dramatic and absorbing and it’s a show basically everyone else in the world watches so you’ll never run out of people to discuss it with MOVIES: His all time favourite movie is also Isobel’s favourite movie, ‘Spirited Away’ RADIO STATION: He doesn’t have one, but his favourite Spotify playlist is the ‘Late Night Love’ one, or ‘Poolside Disco’. FOOD: Jamie really loves Thai food, and has attempted to replicate his favourite dishes despite being absolutely shit at cooking. Mangoes are his favourite fruit. He also loves tapas.  BEVERAGE: A Moscow Mule if it’s alcoholic, good old water or cranberry-grape juice if it’s not COLOR: A bright, sunny shade of orange

CHARACTER

MORAL ALIGNMENT: Lawful Good, though he fancies himself Chaotic Neutral like his twin sister MBTI: INFJ with some fluctuation between Thinking and Feeling  MBTI ROLE: The Advocate ENNEAGRAM: Somewhere between Types One and Two ENNEAGRAM ROLE: Between ‘The Helper’ and ‘The Reformer’ TEMPERAMENT: Melancholic  WESTERN ZODIAC: Taurus CHINESE ZODIAC: Rooster PRIMAL SIGN: Beaver  HOGWARTS HOUSE: Gryffindor or Hufflepuff ILVERYMORNY HOUSE: Thunderbird TAROT CARD: The World TV TROPES: Boy Next Door, Creature of Habit, Sugar and Ice Personality, Pacifist, The Cynic, Guilt Complex, Broken Ace, Affectionate Nickname ( Jack ), Big Brother Instinct. SONG: ( that represents them ) Bad Religion, by Frank Ocean

IDEOLOGIES: People deserve to be paid a livable wage for full time work, people deserve health insurance, everyone has the right to dignity, abortion is not murder, global warming is real and a serious threat, America is imperialist. Essentially the exact opposite of every view his father is running on, the views he has to publically support.
