Kang-Dae

"I did better on my own, but I never wanted to be on my own."
Kang-Dae was a player from the Second Week(end) Seoul of The Reaper's Game. Even though he managed to beat the GM, who was a reaper that was hellbent on wiping out both players and the other reapers, he didn't get the option to come back to life. He chose to live on as a Reaper, than give up entirely.
==Appearance==
Kang-Dae has soft pink hair, dyed hair, that is straight with a slight curl that he keeps tied up into a high ponytail. When let down, it reaches all the way down past his butt. 
His skin is fair and pale, but he retains features indicating his Western heritage. He's got a very lanky but firm look, retaining a figure of a trained dancer. 
His eyes are bright blue, again bringing up his Western heritage. He wears eyeliner and light eyeshadow that is only a shade darker than his skin tone, to give his eyes a mood 'hooded' appearance. 
He dresses in black button ups with a long white overcoat, with black slacks. He also wears a black necklace that is snug against his neck with small studs in his ears.
As a new idol, he tends to wear more punk attire, but he has been seen wearing fashionable attire. His clothes are loose enough to dance but tight enough to hug his figure.
==Personality==
Kang-Dae at first, before his fee had been taken, was friendly. However, it was in a way that he was welcoming and warm, but also putting people at arm's length. He would chat and be engaging with others, but to the point of allowing himself to make bonds, but also seemed to have a wall between himself and others. He was confident with himself and considered him highly skilled, often times, thinking little of others. However, when people have proven themselves, he is a little more accepting of others. 
After the fee was taken, being his charisma and welcoming personality, his more cautious persona takes hold. He hasn't lost any of his confidence, having become a bit more narcissistic in his talents. However, he is more stand-offish and aggressive. He tries to pick fights with those seemingly testing them, the Reapers, to see if they really are there to test them. He is trying to survive them, on his own, so that he can win. 
However, as the weekend progressed, the reapers, V in particular, made him face his insecurities and he eventually lessened his caution with the other players. He allowed them to help him, and it allowed him to depend on them. He became more helpful, aiming to work with them to survive. This trust allowed him to bond with them as a means to fight the GM. 
==Noise==
His noise form is a large owl with a crown made of blue ice, feathers light pink in tone with hits on white and blue, with bright blue tribal marks for wings. It's brilliant blue eyes glow when ready to strike. 
He is called Chillwave Bing Olppaemi [Ice Owl], while in this form.
==History==
===Pre-Game===
Kang-Dae had always had a desire to become an idol since he was very young. While in high-school, he and his friends formed a group. They made accounts all over, so as to spread their fanbase and gather as much of a following as they could. They had fun, thinking up new routines, and finding songs to dance along to. 
Sadly, because of his ambition, he kept trying to reach higher and higher, pushing himself to the limits. He kept on trying to get his friends to do the same routines as him, at the same speed, the same level as him. It ended up causing a rift between himself and said friends. They told him he was too much, that he pushed them too hard. 
He thought they were just being lazy. Eventually, he thought they had no talent, unlike when they first formed their group. And before their group could garner any real following, they abandoned him. They left him to form a new group. 
He never forgave them, for leaving him, for giving up. He didn’t care, he was better than them. He’d prove it. He’d be the best. When he was returning one night from intensive training, he was caught in an accident. He can’t remember how he died, just that he did.
===2nd Seoul Weekend Game===
His game was different from most, it would seem. It was a strange competition between them that ended up being a completely different game entirely. There were two other players with him, both of whom he didn’t care much for, both before and after his fee was taken. They were just people he had to do better than, so as to win back his chance at life again.
After his fee was taken though, he found himself nervous and even more so, apprehensive of all those around him. Regardless of the fact they were there to help him, he didn’t trust them. He was too scared of being betrayed again, of being abandoned. As such, he kept his distance, and didn’t do anything reckless that might result in his early erasure. 
However, as time went on, he found it harder and harder to continue on his own, but too stubborn to ask for help. Eventually, one of the reapers that were ‘helping’ them, set him straight, making him face his insecurities, his reluctance to rely on others.
Then the game changed. It wasn’t a competition anymore, it was a race for survival. One of the reapers, said to be there to help them, ended up turning his back on them, revealing his true nature. He was the one who they had to fight, to win against. And if they lost, he was going to wipe not only them, but everyone else out as well, the reapers included. 
He, as well as the other players, weren’t about to let that happen. They worked hard to find all the clues they could, as to this GM’s motives. Turns out he wasn’t that much different from Kang-Dae. Abandoned by his friends, his team, he grew resentful and began to see everything as a competition, one that he had to win. He was sympathetic, but not so much that he’d just lay down and die. As such, he fought, with everyone at his side. 
Sadly, even though the great evil was defeated, Kang-Dae wasn’t considered good enough for revival. He couldn’t return. He would never be able to be in the world of the living, as one of the living. He had to become what he despised, a reaper. But it wasn’t so bad, as the others tried to tell him. So, he tried to see the bright side of it. Perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad.

==Relationships==
===Jeanette Steele===
Jeanette "Jeanie" Steele was a player like him, who was much younger than him and the other player, but proved she had some talents considering her age. At first viewed her as only someone who had talent, but thought nothing of her. As the game went on, he eventually found himself depending on her, and even going so far as to think of her as someone he wanted to continue contact with him, even with her coming back to life. 
===Kim Min-ho===
Kim Min-ho was the other player for the game, who he thought as someone who had no drive for life or anything. He had the chance to meet him before the game, before Min-ho actually died, and considered him of little merit. However, he found Min-ho had more talent that the other let on, his mimicry and memorization placing him much high in his regard. He considers him a close friend, especially with Min-ho still wanting to work with the Reapers even with choosing the resurrection option. He looks forward to working with him.
===Moon Ken-Chi===
Moon Ken-Chi is a reaper that had said he was there to help them, the players. Ken-Chi also seemed rather interested in forming a group, though Kang-Dae thought little of it, deciding that being on his own was the better option. As the game went on, he actually thought Ken-Chi was more than the 'dim' persona the other put on. Now he works with him to help him learn the ropes of being a Reaper, especially an Idol Reaper.
===Fa Valentine===
Fa Valentine "V" is another reaper who he found little interest in, disliking his closed off personality. He considered him a poor example of an idol, as an idol was one who was to inspire others and V had little of that appeal. However, he found that he actually started to depend on V, even with his steely walls that surround the man. He considers him an able teacher and a skilled dancer. Though he still finds it amusing to continue to poke at him on occasion.
===Enzi===
Enzi was the final Reaper that had introduced to them as a 'helper'. There was always a strange reluctance to Enzi, to do anything aside what was likely considered the bare minimum to help them. So when Enzi revealed as the true face of the opposition against their fight for survival, he wasn't all that much surprised. However, what really surprised him was Enzi's aim to even wipe out the reapers, who were supposedly his allies, simply because they were 'competition'. At the end, he actually pitied Enzi, realizing that the reaper was similar to him. Despite that, he didn't hesitate to end the reaper in order for himself, and the others, players and reapers alike, to survive.
===Minji===
Minji was someone who manned the shop Lodi Rose while he was a player, someone who was very kind and understanding towards them as players. Kang-Dae considered her very helpful, in both providing them with food but also the means to fight, as well as words of encouragement. However, he always felt there was something off about her, not entirely sure what it was that made that feeling. He is a little sad he hasn't been able to find her again, and that shop in which he was been in charge of has simply disappeared.
===Jae-won and Tae-jin===
The shopkeepers of Critical Caliber, a shop that also helped them out during the week. He considered them both a little too intimidating to be manning a shop aiming to help others. However, he did like their fashion and their little gacha that was set up outside. However, he never got to talk to either of them too much, considering he found that not speaking was the better means to shop than striking up a conversation.
==Trivia==

*Kang-Dae's hair is actually light brown, but he likes bleaching it and dying it soft pink. 
*Kang-Dae's grandmother was French, which is where he gets his lighter hair color and blue eyes. However he is still Korean, by nationality standards.
*Kang-Dae used to be apart of a group of friends but they could never catch up to his routine's speed, this resulted in those friends leaving him, resulting in his insecurities about making friends.
*Kang-Dae has always wanted to be an idol since he was little, loving the idea of providing happiness to others. It became more of a selfish dream in having people like him, being lonely.
