**Do-eun Yi (이 도은)** is a member of the Bam Agma and part of its Dokkaebi Team. She was formerly a freelancer born to the life of a mercenary thanks to her father's occupation, and found herself joining the Bam Agma as her father's advice before he died. A highly skilled sniper, Do-eun combines both modern weaponry and the old rituals and techniques to turn herself not just into a deadly sharpshooter, but also an unexpected long-range healer.

## Background

Do-eun was born into the life of a Freelancer. Her father was originally from the Eight Courts of Crimson, specifically from the Thunder Court, until he had a falling out with several influential magi, and had a hard time finding allies, as there was bias against him for being Korean. He was forced from his workshop and studies through political intrigue and made to serve as an Enforcer, with the express goal of having him killed in action. The opposite occurred and he ended up becoming rather successful in integrating old Joseon-era magic into modern Enforcer techniques. It was there where he met Do-eun’s mother and the two became lovers. Unfortunately, Do-eun’s mother would be killed in action when she was just three. Her mother sacrificed herself to save her father, and Do-eun’s dad would soon realize that the mission they were sent to do was a set up meant to kill him. Enraged, he deserted the Eight Courts and became a freelancer instead, bringing the young Do-eun with him across the world wherever he could find work. Do-eun was taught everything she knew about using magic as a mere tool, as well as unorthodox skills for a traditional magus, like firearms and improvised explosives. She particularly excelled as a sniper and frequently became long range fire support for her father early in her life. She first scored a headshot from a mile away at age 11.

The Yi father-daughter combination continued to do freelance mercenary work for both magi and non-magi. They stole targets from other bounty hunters or organization enforcers and also performed assassination and private military contracts. The life of constant danger and traveling from place to place left her highly distrustful of most people, especially those affiliated with the Crimson Courts. At age 22, Do-eun lost her father when he was hit by a wasting curse by a mage that they were hunting. The duo got their target, but there was no stopping the curse put on her father. For the next two days, his health drastically deteriorated and they couldn't find a way to dispel the curse. In the end, she recieved a final piece of advice from her father.

*"Go to Seoul, find a bar called “Midnight”, tell then that you're the daughter of Yi Sung-won and you're looking for the ghosts stalking the night."*

Song-won Yi died in an unmarked grave somewhere in Vladivostok. Do-eun eventually found herself in South Korea, specifically one of the most common hangouts of the Bam Agma. She essentially walked in, introduced herself as the daughter of a former member, and had the swagger of a cold hearted Freelancer. While her father was in their records, she certainly was not registered. While the Bam Agma was suspicious of an unregistered mage, they chose to recruit her instead of punishing her for the sins of her father in not registering her. After being subjected to a gauntlet of tests, Do-eun managed to carve her way into a membership in the organization, finding a more permanent source of work.

Do-eun found another benefit of joining up when she met one Geumgang upon joining the Bam Agma. She's grown to be a big fan of her seonbae, emphasis on 'bae'. Her affection towards Su-jeong has made her move from her old squad to Dokkaebi Squad, led by Seowoo Hyun. Since them, Do-eun has become one of the most effective snipers in the Bam Agma, with a notoriety for not tolerating incompetent allies in the missions given to her. Although the only thing that melts this icy exterior of hers is Geumgang.

## Personality

A snarky sniper with a grim sense of gallows humor. Do-eun doesn't thrive in large groups, due to the rather distrustful environment she grew up in as a freelancer. However, she is rather engaging in one-on-one conversations. She is surprisingly patient, despite her disdain for working with incompetence. Poor-performing teammates aside, deep down, she's got a patient temperament and is introspective. Despite her being desensitized to the violence and death that she grew up with, she's still silently trying to find a deeper meaning to this existence, to be born as a walking weapon for hire. And despite the cold surface she presents to most people, those who manage to earn her trust gets to see a genuinely thoughtful and concerned person. The only time she cried was when her father died.

Men do not interest her. Combine the fact that most of the men she encountered were lecherous pervs since most of the mercs she ended up encountering were pent up men who can't control their gazes and libidos, and her father constantly reminding her that men in their profession are usually scum (her father really just wanted to have his daughter be as disinterested in men as possible). When she became 18, however, she and her father went to Hong Kong, specifically to Penglai Avenue, where she was treated to a birthday gift. "Choose to your heart's content tonight, Do-eun, my treat". Do-eun enjoyed releasing some pent up "stress" by inquiring for the services of "onee-sans". It was at that next morning that she fully realized that she was a lesbian, specifically older women.

*" Don't ever be ashamed of who you are, Do-eun. (Besides, that spares me from the idea that you'll run off with some man)"*

Upon meeting the Geumgang, who Do-eun quickly saw has "her type", and the cold-hearted sniper's heart started to thaw out. She can't help but feel like some "maiden in love", and would sometimes lose focus when she's providing fire support from a far and she just sees her seonbae during training or combat.

*"Her suit emphasizing her muscles... Goddamn... I wanna touch th- ehem. Nothing. It's nothing."*

Do-eun's distracted thoughts aside, this usually only happens when it's a low stakes mission. She is very focused when a job calls for it. So focused that she can stay unmoving for hours, just her staring down that scope and waiting for the perfect shot.

Because of this Do-eun has found herself doing things she doesn't do, like making homemade chocolates for valentine and planning "totally not dates, just two friends hanging out" outings. However, this side is only reserved for her beloved Su-jeong-seonbae. Most of the time, she's indifferent to the rest of her coworkers at best or downright disgusted at others, specifically male colleagues who can't take a hint, and or get turned on during sparring sessions where she literally is nearly killing them with her chokeholds.

Do-eun is fluent in both English and Korean, however she had a hard time learning the languages of the other countries she and her father stayed in during her freelance years, such as Russia or China. While she treats most targets as mere prey to be hunted down, she's got a strangely honorable code when fighting other snipers. Although she won't hesitate to eliminate enemy snipers, she wouldn't loot her defeated foe's body of equipment or money. She still a at takes a skilled defeated sniper's eyes for her magic. Some might consider it a disrespectful desecration, Do-eun sees it as honoring a fallen foe by putting such good eyes to use even though their original owners are already gone. One of the most skilled snipers she dueled was someone from the Snake Tong and she stated that if she does fight her again and kills her, she'll honor such skill in the proper Yi way. (Using the family magic).

What she hates however, is the aristocratic magi that's obsessed with politics in their organizations, to the point where they sabotage and even harm other to members. This is due to how her father would constantly vilify certain people from the Crimson Courts. This led to her greatly distrusting most magi affiliated with Eight Courts.

## Abilities

### Martial Arts

Do-eun is a skilled martial artist, allowing her to be both effective at close quarters and at long range. She specializes in Holang-iui Subak, also known as Tiger-style Subak, a style that focuses on swift kicks that could break necks with a swift strike as well as rather intense grappling and wrestling. Many degenerates who chose to spar with her would state that its worth the near-death experience just to feel dat thigh choke.

Do-eun truly excels in firearms. You could run out of magical energy and take awhile to regenerate it, but you can always just reload another magazine. That is her view on a magus using a gun. Overall, she's effective with most firearms, but she truly excels at sniping foes from afar. The role of a sniper has been engraved into her mind and body since her youth, and she's in no rush to change that.

Capable of accurately taking out targets from miles away, Do-eun quickly earned a reputation of one of the best snipers in the Bam Agma, thanks to a combination of long term training and experience with the special magic that complements her sniping abilities. She is armed with many equipment given by the Bam Agma, from earpieces that link her psychically with teammates to the "Ghost Shroud", full body suits that provide physical and magical protection thanks to the magical nylon and spandex imbued with mana.

### Magic

Despite the history of the Yi and the age of their magic , Do-eun and her father leaned more on using Combat magic learned from the Bam Agma has made her quite the impressive long-range fighter.

#### Musog (巫俗)

Magic practiced by the Yi since the Joseon era in Korea. Although it was originally a standard shamanistic and spiritual evocation-centric system, the Yi of the 20th century were forced to adopt a more practical approach, especially during the Japanese invasion of Korea. What some would consider desecration and just straight up Necromancy, the Yi simply viewed their new craft as another way of honoring the legacy of their defeated foes.

No body part is useless. The flesh, bones, and blood of fallen foes are simply materials and reagents used for magical artificing such as single-use grenades and bullets. The destructive nature of a human could be crystalized into a mystic code using the Yi’s brand of Musog. Body parts, specifically ribs and skulls, of magi with different Essences allow her to create single-use elemental weapons, from fire bullets to earthen fragmentation grenades.

Do-eun is adept at utilizing this modernized magic , and acts as a self-sufficient artificer, only relying on the more expensive equipment and materials given by the Bam Agma.

Last, but certainly not the least, the eyes of defeated foes are a prized trophy for someone like Do-eun. Similar to the rituals of old that involve utilizing the body parts of mythical Dokkaebi in order to gain physical enhancements, Do-eun can tear out the eyes of opponents and use them in a ritual that enhances her eyesight to supernatural levels. Although one ritual only slightly empowers her sight, the amount of 'trophies' she claimed made it so that she now has abnormally great eyesight that would make her completely effective at long ranged engagements without a scope. Although she still prefers using scopes to preserve magical energy and not strain her eyes too much.

#### Jeonghwaui Bulkkoch (정화의 불꽃)

Also known as “Purifying Flame” was a staple ritual for the Yi during the Joseon era, primarily used to exorcise evil spirits or dispel the influence of malignant beings made of magical energy. But when the Yi ended up fighting people, especially other magi, instead of spirits, the Jeonghwaui Bulkkoch was repurposed to be a lethal and non-lethal weapon, and a surprising support spell.

Basically, the Purifying Flame engulfs a target in intense burning pain that also weakens magical energy around a target for the first 10 seconds, before engulfing them in an aura of restoration that completely undoes the damage. The healing was accidentally discovered centuries ago when earlier Yi used the flame on a human instead of a magical beast or spiritual entity. Do-eun uses bullets made with bones ritually imbued with the Flames and would use it for three purposes. First purpose is to kill an opponent and dispel any magical effects near him. Even if the Purifying Flame bullets could heal you, a shot to the head is enough to end a life quick enough before the healing could begin. Second is for non-lethal takedowns, usually aimed at limbs. Sure, an arm or leg could be shot off, but at least the wounds will fix themselves up in a few seconds. Sometimes, the shock of the sudden pain and fire surrounding a foe is enough to knock someone out.

When shot at an ally possessing a Nullifyer, an enchanted amulet specifically made by Do-eun to counteract the impact of the bullet and the initial harm of the Purifying Flame, with this, she doubles as a long range healer.
