Read Before You Approach Me

ೃ★︎ ⟶ FOR PLOTTING. i would prefer if you came to me with a plot in mind, and i will try and do the same. plotting is usually not too hard for me to do, but sometimes i can get quite stumped. winging is fine, but i am still quite new to it so it can blind-side me a bit ghjfd.

ೃ★︎ ⟶ TIME ZONE & PACE. my timezone is gmt8. know that i am very not active with replies lol. i have bouts of intense writer’s block and low muse, so i might “ghost” our thread for some time, but i will try and let you know when that happens. please just poke me politely and respectfully if it has been over a week since you responded, and i will let you know how i am doing (this poke won’t make me reply, just remind me that i have to let you know how i am doing).

know that i might be active in the chat or responding to other threads does not mean i am ignoring our thread or you. sometimes it’s just how it is, and i will not be mad at you for doing the same.

ೃ★︎ ⟶ & DATING. i am 22 years old ooc. however, i am uncomfortable to with people i have never done a plot before with or someone i don’t know well. if we have ted before or our characters are dating, i will be okay with it.

also not interested in our characters having large age gaps if we have any romantic connections (esp endgame). with this character (sungjae, 28), no one older than 34 and younger than 24.

ೃ★︎ ⟶ WRITING STYLE. i tend to get a little carried away with writing so my replies might be a little long. i like to reply in 3rd pov paragraph style and only do script in chat. i might write a lot but you don’t have to mirror the length, but some effort should be applied to the reply, of course. i am more than happy to do starters, especially if i have a good idea on how to start, but please don’t expect me to do it every time, especially if it doesn’t make sense for me to start.

ೃ★︎ ⟶ GENRE LIMITS. with genres, i’m very flexible, i don’t mind plotting out fluff, angst, even romance, but i will not plot out a pwp plot with you. if our non-pwp plot has in it, i will ask you to skip over the scene or speak about it in passing. please refer to above as to why.

ೃ★︎ ⟶ LOCATION. i don’t really mind where our threads are, walls, pms, or rooms. i would prefer rooms just to keep the rp active and getting us both some points, but i really don’t mind wherever.

ೃ★︎ ⟶ BIG NO-NOS. i don't rp things like , , ia, non-con/dub-con, and other taboo subjects of the like. i prefer to stay out of infidelity plots (unless we are close and talk it out a lot beforehand).

The Story

Part I

PROLOGUE I

✦ Yook Sungjae's mother is Yook Yuja, who was a descendant of Athena. Her great-grandmother was a demigod of Athena, allowing for Hermes to be aware of Yuja's existence. Yuja wrote a popular biography detailing her life in a South Korean cult back in the late 1970s as a teenager and how she escaped to America, specifically Seattle, Washington, stealing most of the cult's money and rendering them bankrupt, allowing her to gain Hermes' attention.
✦ Yuja, albeit skeptical of Hermes, or Ha Sungjae as he introduced himself as, when she first met him, eventually grew to love him as they spent more time together. He really loved her and wanted to learn more about her life beyond the biography, as she was noted to be an excellent and comedic writer despite her gruesome retelling of her childhood. However, Yuja did not allow the two of them to get married or have a child until she was 34. She only learned of his role as Hermes before her death.
✦ Sungjae was born in 1995, and he spent a year with both his mother and father, before his father mysteriously left after the three of them were at a soccer game. Sungjae would never learn of his father's true identity even after going to Camp Half-Blood. 

✦ His mother would later tell Sungjae his father passed away in a car accident, not wanting to tell him the truth of being abandoned.

✶ ⁞   important transphobia / dead-naming / misgendering, homophobia, murder, depression, alcholism.

✦ Sungjae and his mother lived together by themselves for around 3 years. She struggled with the loss of her husband and turned to alcohol. It was manageable for the first 12 years of Sungjae's life, and no one around them really noticed.

✦ Sungjae's mother remarried to a man named Samuel Wu when he was 5 years old. Sungjae got along well with his step-father, sometimes preferring his company over his mother's, though he would never admit that outloud. They had a close relationship where they would do things like play baseball and football, but Sungjae would also feel comfortable discussing his feelings with his step-father.

✦ At this time, Sungjae was involved in a lot of sports due to his "above average" athletic abilities, but struggled a lot in school. The only subject he did well in was History, as he found ancient histories, especially that of the Greek, Chinese, Roman, and Egyptian, to be interesting.

✦ When Sungjae was 10-years-old, his mother and step-father sat him down during Thanksgiving and told him that they were getting a divorce. Samuel also told Sungjae that he was transitioning to a woman, and she would now be referred to as Samantha, but Sungjae was free to call her his step-father. Sungjae did not accept this for a very long time.

✦ His step-father left their family, apparently she was also "gay", so she had been sleeping with her co-worker. Yuja knew this when they got together but she did not think it would come to this. 

✦ Yuja's alcohol problem only got worse after the divorce. She was Sungjae's only parent, and so when her liver failed and she passed when he was 12, Sungjae had nowhere to go. 

✦ Apparently, Ha Sungjae, or as he revealed to Yuja, Hermes had showed up before his mother's death. Sungjae did not get to meet him, and so he still believed he was dead.
✦ Sungjae was admitted into the foster system at 13 years old, but that summer, he was attacked by a monster, and was taken in by an older demigod who was looking for kids to take to Camp Half-Blood. This was when Sungjae learned of his parentage.

Camp Half-Blood

Chapter I
✦ Sungjae was put into the Hermes cabin indefinitely until he was claimed. He was deemed not to be a full-time camper so he would go back to being admitted to the foster system after the summer was over.

✦ Sungjae enjoyed his time at the Camp and felt like it was the one place he truly belonged.

✦ He was incredibly depressed to be leaving to go back to the foster system, unsure if he would be able to make it back since Camp Half-Blood next summer due to living across the country.

✦ However, he had been informed by Chiron that a woman named Samantha Wu had submitted a request to see him. Apparently Samantha Wu was also a demigod, of Aphrodite, and so wanted to take him in to live in New York City during the months he wouldn't be at Camp Half-Blood. Sungjae accepted to live with Samantha Wu and be adopted by her and her husband, Steven.
Chapter II
✦ When Sungjae graduated he went into school to become a detective, inspired by his Step-step-father's job as a detective, hoping to find more details relating to his father's disappearance, and to learn more about his mother's relation to cults.

✦ He eventually became a detective and works as one currently.

✦ At 28-years-old he has yet to be claimed, and tries not to take it to heart since he has found a home in the Hermes cabin. He helps out the other unclaimed kids as much as he can, and has a general distaste towards the Hermes kids but he is not quite sure why...

To be continued.

The Vibes

MBTI (ENFP)
ENFP, or Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving, is a personality type characterized by enthusiasm, creativity, and a love for possibilities. They are outgoing and thrive on social interactions, often inspiring others with their energy and passion. As natural brainstormers, ENFPs are adept at generating innovative ideas and enjoy exploring different paths. They possess a strong sense of empathy, making them attuned to the emotions of those around them. ENFPs prioritize authenticity and seek meaningful connections in their relationships.

However, their spontaneity and aversion to routine can lead to challenges with follow-through and decision-making. The ENFP's adaptability makes them open to new experiences but may also contribute to a tendency to become bored easily. Despite these potential pitfalls, ENFPs contribute positively to group dynamics, fostering a creative and harmonious environment. In summary, ENFPs are vibrant, imaginative individuals who bring creativity and warmth to their interactions while navigating the balance between their love for possibilities and the need for structure.

The ABILITIES

HIGH AGILITY & DEXTERITY
All Hermes children have a high agility and dexterity. Sungjae excelled in many sports as a child, particularly baseball (he was a really good at batting and pitching), basketball, and ice-hockey. He quit ice-hockey and basketball after moving to New York City, but continues to play baseball to this day.
enhanced senses & memory
All Hermes children have enhanced senses and memory. This has helped Sungjae a lot in his job as a Detective, but has also allowed him to cheat (when he didn't study) and do well (when he did study) when doing tests.
SLEIGHT OF HAND
All Hermes children have an affinity to steal and not get caught. Sungjae uses this often when he doesn't realize it, his kleptomania is quite low but he cannot deny he has stolen a few smaller things in his life. He particularly liked to steal test sheets when in high school to cheat on tests, and this did particularly well in sports, if they ever wanted to win in an underhanded way (which he cannot confirm nor deny he did a few times). This also helps as a detective as he is able to steal necessary evidences and documents and not get caught, but also disarm any dangerous individuals.
boundary creation
All Hermes children have an ability to create a boundary that no one can cross unless someone is more powerful than a Hermes kid. Helps a lot at his job and during sports when he is dealing with weaker individuals, but it tires him out so he does not use it often.
Sacred animal
All Hermes children have an ability to communicate with and have control over Hermes' sacred animals such as tortoises, rams, and hawks. Sungjae had a tortoise as a child, whose name was Leonardo after the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
adhd & dyslexia
All demigods have ADHD and dyslexia. Sungjae was diagnosed with dyslexia when he was around 6-years-old, and only had a formal ADHD diagnosis after he was brought to Camp Half-Blood. 

Sungjae's ADHD, like all demigods, is used for combat in their heightened senses and aptitude for battle. Sungjae's ADHD made it so studying and school was hard for him, and makes it so his current job (especially the gods forsaken paperwork) is difficult for him to do. He often carries around an eraser or a piece of clay to fidget with.

Sungjae's dyslexia, like all other demigods, is because Sungjae can only read Ancient Greek. This has made it so Sungjae's Korean has gotten extremely rusty, especially since his Korean mother passed away and he lives with his Mandarin Step-Father, who tries to teach him a few things, but he has difficulty understanding.
