Tae-Myung Park

"There's nothing special about me. I'm just a shuttle"
-Tae-Myung Park
Tae-Myung Park is a 16 year old human mage from Pyongyang, the monarchical capital of the Royal Korean Republic. Born to an impoverished family riddled with drug and debt problems, he has lived most of his life with his grandmother, an old, frail woman who sells food from a small cart in one of Pyongyang's many poor districts. 
He was friends with Dae-Seong Gwan, a famous k-pop singer. The two used to practice singing together often during middle school, but when Dae-Seong was scouted by a music company, he left for Seoul to perform while Tae-Myung was left behind. Dae-Seong requested that Tae-Myung come with him, but the music company declined because he wasn't deemed attractive enough to perform, even though his voice was better. 
Tae-Myung was constantly bullied throughout his high school career, only getting away from his job as the school bully's shuttle when he decided to become a mage for the White Cross. 
Tae-Myung suffers from bulimia nervosa, which causes him to eat and then throw up his food. He developed the disease in a desperate attempt to become more attractive, but it only left him weak and frail.
At some point he accidentally came across Dae-Seong Gwan while his band Radon was performing in Nagasaki. After meeting Dae-Seong, his desire to perform grew, and during the 2122 fightfest he decided to perform to show that he could still sing. He approached Raihan about a method to help him perform, and the demon offered to give him a mask that could boost his confidence. In exchange, Tae-Myung would have to gather ten souls for him. Raihan later revealed that the mask was just a mask with no enchantments. Tae-Myung responded that he knew because he had it checked, but it had helped his confidence anyways. In payment, he gave Raihan multiple postcards from "Seoul".
