social sample
*seongsik has never been hugged by anyone but hantae before. not since he was a little kid. the feeling of having an adult's arms around him now made him sick, but he was too shell-shocked to tell the nice social worker lady to let go of him. so, he sat there, in her arms, silently shivering. it wasn't cold out, but it was the middle of the night, and seongsik had been drenching wet from being in his family's swimming pool just hours prior. there were tears welled up in his throat but he refused to cry. he knew he wouldn't be allowed the opportunity to while everyone was watching. tragedy or not, his family was still made of snakes, and seongsik's near-death wasn't enough to make anyone suddenly develop a familial relationship with each other. the most comfort he's received from any of his family, was in his younger brother, seonghan, offering him his favorite stuffed animal for comfort (seongsik couldn't believe seonghan still had a favorite stuffed animal, he was nine for merlin's sake). oddly enough, the beat up pink rabbit offered a strange sort of reassurance to it. he didn't realize he had been clutching it to his chest for so long that the water dripping off of him had seeped into the stuffed animal's fur.*

*despite the fact that most of seongsik's clothes were beginning to dry, his hair was still dripping water down the towel wrapped around his shoulders. hantae had made him grow out his hair over the course of the years that seongsik had known him. hantae had said that boys look the prettiest that way—with their hair down past their shoulders. seongsik, naively, believed him whole-heartedly and refused to let anyone cut his hair past a neat trim. over the course of three years, seongsik's hair had grown to reach the small of his back. it was a hassle to take care of, but hantae said it was worth it, and naively, seongsik believed him. seongsik cared to his hair religiously, scared that if he didn't, he would stop being "pretty" and loose hantae's approval. and seongsik was* terrified *to loose hantae's approval. after all, hantae was the only one who had ever shown him any sort of love or care. as terrified as he was to loose hantae's approval, he was even more scared to loose hantae himself.*

*seongsik wanted to cut it all off.*

*he wanted to summon a pair of scissors right then and there, like hantae had taught him, and cut every single lock of hair off. suddenly, he was infuriated. he didn't understand what he had done wrong. he had done* everything *that hantae had asked for. why was he suffering then? why would hantae do this to him? leave him like this? seongsik couldn't comprehend everything. down the line, it would take him years to realize everything he had suppressed about how hantae had treated him in efforts to cope with what his supposed caretaker had done to him. but at the moment, all he could figure out was that he was furious and wanted to smash something, but also vomit. he really wanted to vomit. it was strange, because he hadn't eaten at all that day. he had drunk a lot of liquids, however. mostly because hantae told him to. and then because seongsik wanted to impress hantae, he drunk even more. seongsik can't even remember* why *hantae had asked him to drink only liquids today.*

*"we're getting ahold of your parents, seongsik-ah," the nice social worker lady said, squeezing seongsik's shoulders. the thirteen-year-old boy didn't say anything in return, just shivered some more and curled his body inward. the nice social worker lady had attempted to make some conversation a few times before, but just like this time, seongsik hadn't really given her the time of day. it's not her fault, he was barely responding to anyone. not even the police officers that came to interrogate him about hantae. why were police officers asking him about hantae? why were there police officers in the first place? seongsik's head hurt a lot. he wondered if it would be rude to tell the nice social worker lady that he wanted to lie down. he decided not to risk it, even though he was already struggling to keep his eyelids lifted.*

*part of seongsik wanted to tell the nice social worker lady to not waste her time. seongsik's parents didn't care about him and never have. they've had nine, including hantae, different people raise him since childhood. hantae is the one who's stuck around the longest. the other eight averaged about nine to eighteen months before quitting due to how "frustrating" they claimed seongsik to be. hantae, on the other hand, never gave up on seongsik. he stuck with him for three whole years. of course, before he disappeared, and seongsik awoke to being hauled out of the main family estate pool. seongsik takes that back—they all leave in the end.*

*every. single. time.*

social behaviors
**|| most common emotion**
*dissatisfaction >* while not a workaholic, kayn is 100% a perfectionist and will often stop at nothing to get something done right. this comes across in many ways—from learning a new arcana (video game character) in arcane conquest and perfecting all their combos and animation cancels, to spending as many hours possible trying to optimize the rollout of a product or service of one of the companies he heads. as a result, kayn, naturally, spends a lot of time dissatisfied with things, especially the small things around him. he has a tendency to be very judgmental and nitpicky, and he'll be very outspoken about it too. if he sees even the tiniest of a flaw in something, he'll make it his job to fix it. this makes him a great problem solver, but not necessarily the person to come to if you need to vent. he'll spend more time trying to fix your problem than actually listen to you talk about it.

**|| least common emotion**
*happiness >* straightforward, but unfortunately, very accurate. kayn spends a lot of time feeling just about everything in the book except true, actual happiness. one could attribute it to many things. growing up in a toxic home structure, lack of parental guidance or love, childhood trauma, bad mental health. the list goes on. point is, it's very difficult to make kayn happy, or give him any positive feelings in general that aren't at the expense of other people. yes, he's fun at parties, but that doesn't mean he's having fun *at* the party.

**|| tendency to show affection**
kayn is anything but affectionate. you're lucky to even get a compliment from him. he's not one to flatter and he finds appraisal a waste of breath. if you hug him, he won't even bother to tell you to let go of him, he'll likely just walk away. honestly, he's in desperate need of a cuddle session, but the last time he let anyone touch him was when he was thirteen.

**|| notable quirks**
*long hair >* kayn hasn't grown his hair out since he was thirteen, but eventually, at some point during his last year at mahoutokoro, he began re-growing his hair, and has kept it long ever since. he trims it a couple times a year to avoid split ends, but beyond that, his hair remains largely the same length. at the moment, his hair reaches about his mid-back.

*ambidextrous >* kayn, ironically enough, is not naturally ambidextrous. he more or less forced himself to become ambidextrous when he realized how much more efficient it was to be able to use both hands as his main hand. it's common to see him swap between writing with his left and right hand, with only slight differences in his hand-writing. he was born left-handed.

*hair bands >* due to kayn's long hair, he tends to carry around at least one or two hair bands if he needs to put his hair up at any point during the day. it's rare to see him without at least one extra hair band, after all, he's always perpeared.

**|| mannerisms**
*hair behind ear >* whenever his hair is down, kayn tends to find himself fidgeting with it more often, constantly putting his hair behind his ear among other things. he most often does it when he is apprehensive about something or considering the risks of a certain scenario or situation.
*hair twirling >* channeling his inner valley girl with this one, like mentioned before, kayn is very fidgety with his hair. hair twirling is another form in which this presents itself. he most often does this when he's bored, waiting for something to happen, or he's thinking of a way to stir up some trouble.

**|| when stressed**
**|| when thoughtful**
**|| when jealous**
traits
**|| optimist or pessimist**
he's neither. to really put a label on him, he's a realist who can be a bit of debbie downer, but won't dismiss all positive outcomes, he just doesn't give them much of a thought. if they happen, it's like a pleasant surprise for him.

**|| introvert or extrovert**
*introvert >* kayn has never been extroverted in any way or form, not even when he was a child. he tends to keep to himself, though he can be quite social if he's in the mood. he did use to be more outgoing when he was younger, but over time, he's closed up and become more reserved. he's rare to approach people unless he wants something from them or wants to start something, like drama.

**|| cautious or careless**
*cautious >* almost everything kayn does is calculated, merely as a result of how he grew up. he never does anything without thinking it out and is truly anything but spontaneous. it may be difficult to guess what he's thinking, but rarely is he not thinking at all.

**|| logical or emotional**
*logical >* he acts off of his logic as a result of how emotional he knows he is. he doesn't let anyone see it, but even little things can impact his emotional state by a tremendous margin. this is often why he comes off as malevolent and even cold at times. it's all a mask to cover up how much his environment is affecting him.

**|| warmonger or pacifist**
honestly, kayn truly couldn't care less. the world could burn down around him and he wouldn't bat an eye. kayn likes a bit of drama or conflict, so he can be a bit of instigator in that case, but he doesn't go around campaigning for the end of the world or anything. he's a surprisingly good mediator, but unless the situation has spiraled out of control, you won't see kayn pacifying anything any time soon.

**|| loner or social butterfly**
*social butterfly >* kayn is less of a social butterfly because he wants to be, and more because he just tends to naturally attract people's attention. besides the fact that he's charismatic and physically attractive, people just kind of tend to flock to him, and he can't really do much about it. it's ironic because of how much of an introvert he is, but no matter how hard he tries to give people the idea he's not here to be friends, people befriend him regardless. he kind of just lets it happen now.

**|| early bird or night owl**
*early bird >* kayn has been waking up at six am sharp since he was five. night is a merely a concept to him because he hasn't seen the moon in forever. he doesn't know what it is, but he prefers the morning by a mile. he's not sure if it's just his biological clock or if he's addicted to sunlight, but if there's light outside, then you know kayn is definitely up and about.

**|| procrastinator or productive**
a teensy bit of both. he's usually pretty productive, save for occasionally putting stuff off that he just... doesn't want to do. if he's really not in the mood to work, he can end up putting things off for months.

**|| rigid and organized or fluid and adaptable**
*fluid and adaptable >* kayn is *calculated*, not stupid. he knows when to abandon ship or adjust his plans to work better to the current situation. there's no point being stubborn when things don't go the way he wants, so he's learned to put up with it and get whatever he can from the situation he's in.

**|| big picture or detail orientated**
kayn has the magical ability to be both. he can attune himself to the small details without getting too wrapped up in them, and when he needs to, he'll always remember to look at the bigger picture. kayn is usually the one who tells people to look at it from a different angle, not be the one who needs the reminder.

**|| confident or Unsure**
*confident >* it would take catching kayn at his most vulnerable to catch him off guard, and rarely is kayn at his most vulnerable. he's confident in himself, in his skills, and his capabilities, and when he knows he can do something, you can bet that he will do it. he might have ptsd and is terrible at trusting people, but if there's one person he can always trust, it's definitely himself.

**|| tattoo(s)**
kayn has two tattoos, both on his arms. one of them, on the inside of his left arm, is a rose insignia. the other, on the outside of his right arm, is detailed calligraphy of his tag name "kayn" in a style that imitates a scrapbook font. there's a meaning behind both, but he rarely divulges the story behind it. he got both when he turned 17.

**|| general style**
*boujee >* kayn's not one for modesty, and as a result, whenever he goes outside, he's always aiming to make someone feel poor. dressing in this particular style is casual enough to the point where he's not in full-out formal wear, but still extravagant enough to get the point across.

*casual street wear >* if kayn is genuinely trying to blend in, he'll also opt for casual street wear, something most people don't expect him to be in. it helps him get away with a lot, honestly.

**|| distinguishing marks**
the tattoos on his arms, scatters of freckles that are usually covered up by makeup

ambidextrous, but technically his left

kayn's handwriting is extremely neat, both in print and in cursive; as a result of this, he doesn't write very fast

decent, but definitely not healthy; his unresolved childhood trauma accompanied by his ptsd has made him somewhat of a fragile mind, but it hasn't impacted him enough to make going about day-to-day tasks impossible, just moderately difficult
