WILL THE REAL SLIM SHADY PLEASE STAND UP?? nOw that i got your attention, hello there you cute frickin’ beans!! i’m anthony (or you can call me slim shady, juSt kidding), a twenty year old nerd, residing in the eastern timezone! anyways, i’m really excited to be here and to bring namjoon to life (i haven’t stopped thinking about him, yikes.) okay before i literally embarrass myself anymore in this because it’s about that time, i’m gonna move on to telling you about [pitbull voice] mr sunshine, aka oh namjoon (i just really love the name namjoon know that), simply known by one name, namjoon (wants to be beyonce so bad), main vocal of decipher! 

by the way, under the cut there will be mentions of a car accident, death of parents, and ptsd. if you are triggered by any of these subjects, please skip points 4, 5, 6, 7.

a full stats page can be found here and a plots page can be found here, if you’re interested!

namjoon was born on christmas day in 1992 to young parents, se-ah, a man who had just finished getting his business degree and started working an office job, and jangmi, who was still in school because she was studying medicine to become a pharmacist. two younglings who were so in love and now loving their brand new baby boy.

because jangmi fell pregnant before they were even engaged, namjoon was involved in their wedding, so there’s a bunch of pictures of him at about three years old in their wedding, it was stinking adorable. 

everything went good in the beginning, you know?? they were incredibly happy, excited to come home to their son everyday. but suddenly, when namjoon was about seven years old, his life took a turn for the worst. 

it was a normal, sunny day, and se-ah, jangmi, namjoon, and his cousin, sa-rang were on their way to the beach for the day. it was gonna be fun, especially since sa-rang was there, even though she was sixteen and capable to be by herself at home while her parents were away. but, she decided to send the day with them. they were on their way, but they never actually got there. 

this is something that’s still clear as day to namjoon, something that still haunts him. it was all so sudden and unexpected, they got into a really bad accident because of a reckless driver, whom smashed into the car at a high speed. the car hit jangmi’s side of the car, killing her on impact. namjoon was in the seat behind her, only hitting his head against something and knocking him out for a while. the car had flipped over. 

unfortunately, the only ones to survive were sa-rang and namjoon. se-ah died some time after jangmi did. sa-rang and namjoon came out with starches and bruises on their body, as well as a bump on namjoon’s head. sa-rang did the unthinkable as a fifteen year old, as she had gotten namjoon out of his seat, where he woke up in the middle of it going on, and she had gotten him out of the wrecked car. he still believes to this day, that he owes her his life for putting him first that day. 

of course, namjoon survived from ptsd after that and life before the accident was a bit of a blur due to the accident, the ptsd, and because he bumped his head a little bit. 

his grandparents raised him from when he was seven to twelve, they’re just about the most important people in his life. 

he started to get more into music to help cope from things, he found out that he was really good at it and it seemed to come easy to him. it was something that he took really seriously. 

when he was tweleve, he was in the mall with his guitar, and he was sat there, singing and strumming along to the guitar as people walked by. though, he noticed that a woman was there, recording him, and watching him sing. after, he was approached, and she told him that she was a rep for bc entertainment and that he was incredible and she really wanted him to audition. she gave him her card and off she went. 

he really thought it was a scam, but he just decided to give it a chance. so, he set up the audition and awaited the day. once it came, he went to the bc entertainment building to audition, even though in the back of his mind it still seemed like a scam. bc entertainment wanting him? that was crazy. 

though, once he was there to audition, people knew who he was, and that made him realize it wasn’t a scam at all. he went into the audition room with confidence, a happy nature, and he sang with his guitar, the popular american song, waterfalls by tlc (he has an obsession with 90s western pop music fyi) 

they truly loved his audition, the way he sang with an emotion and how well he did in front of them, they were impressed. the only thing was that they needed to work on his technique because they didn’t like the technique taught to him by his own personal vocal coach. 

he signed the contract there and got his grandmother to sign the papers, due to her being his legal guardian. but also, because she was the one to encourage him to chase his dreams. his family was a huge support system in this. she’s truly his biggest fan??? like she has everything decipher and frames a lot of things. 

trained for four years before debuting in decipher (btw shinee can have my soul) as the main vocal, which he’s still grateful for because he got to show off his vocals, like he’s just really proud of himself?? but not in the cocky kind of way, if you know what i mean?? being able to sing and debut really helped his self-confidence and self-worth. 

he’s truly just kind of a ball of sunshine?? like he’s very caring and he’s nice. everyone tends to think he’s adorable?? but also he’s that type of person that could literally go from adorable to sexy on stage and it leaves you shooken tbh. also he’s known to be pretty sensitive and stuff like that... like he’ll lit cry every time decipher gets a first win and when they win awards so. but he knows how to stand his ground if needed. 

also is really an embarrassing sunbae to everyone in bc entertainment?? like if he sees you at an event or something like for example if he saw lipstick he’d run over to lipstick and take a picture with them and then post it like “oh my god!!! i’m with lipstick!! i can’t believe it!!” and just be so embarrassing you’re gonna wanna pretend to not know him. so you know, bee, knight, lipstick, charm, and wish + the solo artists, ur gonna wanna watch out for him.  

it’s obvious that he likes the gym?? like he went from small and that gradually started gaining more muscle like ok slow down mister

he took college classes and is graduated, he has a degree in psychology, and a degree in creative writing. if this idol thing doesn’t go for longer (even though he knows that he’s truly going to be doing stuff like this for a long, long while most likely) he’d like to become a therapist to help kids (and adults) with mental issues.

has a lot of osts to his name, he played the lead male in hoot! by lipstick ( he was the guy spy who was played by choi si-won,) was in the musical  “in the heights” in 2015 and then again 2016-2017 as the main character, benny. he was also in the musical “all shook up” in 2016 as the main character, elvis. he was an mc for “singerella” and he plays the main character, lee shi-kyung, in the tv show, andante. ( yes this is the show kai is gonna be in because i’m uncreative don’t @ me ajknkjafk )

also another thing to note, he’s fluent in korean, english, and ksl. no one knew about him being fluent in ksl till he was seen at a fan signing interacting with a deaf fan through korean sign language, something that was highly praised by media and fans. 

anD that’s all for this really long intro im sorry?? i tried my best to summarize like.. 11 paragraphs i think i wrote for the bio kajkfnakaj

also here’s a rl pic of me about being here and being excited to rp w u all

Who are your characters friends and family? Who do they surround themselves with? Who are the people your character is closest to? Who do they wish they were closer to?

LOL so many questions in one ask so everyone has to suffer through1500 words about Julian’s personal life

I’m surprised that there isa question about Julian’s family, especially since between me, Ally, and Kyle,we kind of beat Oliver and Heidi to death already, though I suppose those discussionshaven’t been on the dash. Oliver is still Quidditch obsessed as we’ve seen himin the books, though our interpretation of Oliver is a little darker than whatJKR wrote. It’s fine that he’s demanding early morning practices from hisfriends, but his kids were younger thanten and he’s already building them up to have these really successfulcareers. Oliver is so focused on the game that whatever other needs his kidsmay have needed were never really addressed – that’s always sort of been Heidi’shalf of the parenting.

In contrast, Heidi was more logical of the pair; she’susually described as quicker and cleverer than Oliver (at one point I think I’vewritten that Heidi was the only one who could out-score Oliver). So despite thebad press and the rocky divorce, she’s going to recover quickly – especially becauseshe had been working on her passion projects for a while already, which is fashiondesign. Even though Julian dresses like he hasn’t had a wardrobe update in adecade because his self-sufficiency is more important to him than dressingproperly for a good first impression.

Speaking of the divorce though, I don’t think Oliver andHeidi had a relationship like Marcus and AnaJoy, where they only marriedbecause they ran out of luck. Oliver was damn impressed with her, but Ienvision the two to have rushed into their marriage. I think Heidi might havefigured out that Oliver was in the closet for a while so I doubt that she wouldhave been surprised at the fact thathe was gay. No, I think what caught her off guard was the fact that MarcusFlint basically gave Rita Skeeter an exclusive.

Then you have Ethan. As the second child, he’s probablyJulian’s favorite brother. My absolute favorite headcanon was that Ethanlearned to fly before he learned to walk. Julian was learning how to flyhimself for the first time but baby E just wouldn’t have it and would cry everytime Julie flew too high, so Julian pulled his brother onto the broomstick withhim and let him hover. There’s another one that you can read on Julian’s andEthan’s bio where Ethan broke his leg and Oliver told him to walk it off – and that’swhen Julian begins to question that Oliver’s making decisions that are actuallyfor the best.

Aidan never got to play Quidditch with Julian at school, sinceJulian had quit the team to become Gryffindor Prefect in his fifth year whenAidan tried out for the team during his second. The two aren’t as close, especially since Julian hadthree years at school before Aidan had come, and Aidan was making friends backhome while his brothers are gone (and btw for anyone reading this, Aidan’s beenpractically begging for someone tofill his best friend connection). Plus by the time Aidan had come to school,Julian was already in silent treatment mode as since that was the year he quitQuidditch.

The issue with the Woods is that no one knows how to talk to anyone because Oliver just made everyonedeal with their shit in silence. A lot of the problems Julian had, he broughtupon himself because he didn’t know howto solve them, because he never learned that talking about his feelings isn’t a bad thing? Literally, here’s howit would go, if Julian had just talked to Ethan and Aidan in his fourth year:

Julian is feeling stressed about the attention he’s gettingfrom Gryffindor House during Quidditch matches. He expresses this anxiety tohis younger brothers, and while Ethan wouldn’t totally empathize, he cares about Julian enough to try to find asolution. That solution would probably involve yelling at people to leave himalone, or at the very least, attracting more attention in the common room andin the pitch so that Julian can keep his mind on the game. Aidan would insiston practicing with just the three of them even though he wasn’t allowed to havea broom yet because fuck the rules and we all know that they’d probably use the‘oh you let Harry Potter have a broom in his first year’ excuse because Oliverwould use that excuse to make his kids tryout for Quidditch in the first year. 

Julian wouldn’t have felt the need to quit Quidditch especially since hisbrothers are his hype men and would eventually become Quidditch Captain insteadof Head Boy since he’s pretty good at making strategies and leadership suitshim when he’s doing something he’s actually passionate about. And he probablywould have ended up on Puddlemere, which obviously gets Ethan and Aidan intoPuddlemere, and you now have the Unstoppable Chaser Team™ that Oliver alwayswanted. They would literally be the Quidditch version of the Jonas Brothers andhave a really strong fan following but Julian is Kevin and retires intoobscurity as a strategist for Puddlemere while his brothers pursue much moreoutrageous careers.

Julian surrounds himself with academics because his currentoccupation is basically the one-to-one mapping of a college professor to a Hogwartsteacher. He’s kind of just stuck withthe people he works with, so there’s not really a choice with who he surroundshimself with. I could say that when he first started teaching though, he spenta lot of time with Roxanne because she was also teaching at the time while shetried to figure her shit out too.

Now that we have a lot of the Ministry people at the schoolthough, Julian most often talks to people who are intellectual – after all, a lot of what he wants to do is make learning easier for students (despite the factthat he’s aware that it’s a lot of thankless work that he’ll probably neverquit because no one else would do it right), so it obviously helps if he’strying to learn a lot about how other subjects work, not just his own. Probablythe main reason he eventually got along with Roxanne was because they were bothstarting to become more interested in each other’s subject matter. Finley focuseson charms, but Julian can make suggestions based on what he knows. Julianhelped Talia with her Animagus, even though her primary subject is magicalcreatures.

Unfortunately for Julian though he’s not really close with anyone; he was best friends with Roxannefor a few years after they both finished their formal schooling, but Mr. I Can’t Talk About My Feelings overhere threw a temper tantrum when she decided to leave to pursue her Cursebreakercareer somewhere else. So I think he hasn’t really tried to reach out to anyonein a while, except for Valentina who happened to be around and Pippa who was just as passionate about Potions as he was about Transfiguration, because he doesn’t think he needs anyone and he’s obnoxious arrogant loudmouth bother.  But he does realize that he’s talking too loud, he gets overexcited and shoots off at the mouth, and he’s never had a group of friends before so he’ll promise that he’ll make them proud -- 

He does wish hewere closer to Roxanne though, because they really had a nice friendship goingon and despite all of these awful situations they’re thrown into, theirfriendship is still a salvageable raft in a never-ending storm. Julian thinkshe’s also really getting somewhere with Finley, though he’s fucked that up by totallyembarrassing him in front of Vivienne – but she seems nice, and Finley didn’tseem too incised by Julian’s accusationthat he’s forgetful especially if he offered to have Julian chat with Kingsley.It also helps that Finley is just as eager to keep Julian a friend as well, butJulian’s not aware that they’re on both sides of the same coin. I suppose there’sroom in the future to be close to his brothers again, but none of them are gonnabudge on that silent treatment. Here’s how it would go, if Julian ever gotalong with his brothers again:

Once Julian has a new curriculum in place, Ethan and Aidanwould probably ask him for advice on how to get good press – especially since Julian’s made some front-page news whileshaking Kingsley’s hand. So Julian makes them donate shit tons of galleons tothe school and makes them sit down and watch Gryffindor Quidditch matches. Ritaeats it up, especially when Julian gets his brothers to do some demonstrationsfor the first years. Maybe it wouldhelp them behave knowing that they’ve got eleven year olds looking up to them? Whoknows. 

Julian also gives some tidbits on how to play other teams because Julianreligiously follows the teams to the point where a lot of them are reallypredictable. Eventually Ethan and Aidan become scouts and/or coaches and atthat point I’m sure Julian’s gonna end up being headmaster, so obviously theyget first pick of the lot coming out of Hogwarts every season. Julian nevergets punched in the face ever again and they all live long happy cooperative lives.The end.

that’s it lol thanks for coming to my ted talk
