⟢ skeletons.

— passionate but unskilled / skeleton

⤷ disclaimer: has no connection to any existing characters, just a character idea i want to see!
⤷ faceclaim suggestions: anyone who looks wholesome, hopefully in their late 20s to early 30s ... a 2nd gen idol? infinite's sunggyu? dongwoo? also sungjin from day6 or nct's taeil could work! taemin of shinee /could/ work but he's probably messing up some signs for fun. (there is no formality to this skeleton idea post my bad)
⤷ occupation: local sign maker (passion project), another day job on the side (to earn money)
⤷ notes: has (or had) a day job completely unrelated to his passion (an accountant or a notary public). his passion making handmade signs! (like the ones you see above shops, made of plastic or metal or painted on cardstock, any sign) ... he is very bad at making signs, or he could be very good at them but is a notoriously bad speller (or just both!) no one has the heart to correct him in gohyang or push away his signs when he gives it to them because he's so friendly and nice. at one point he will misspell 'discount sale' as 'dickscount sale' for an elderly shop owner.

— human noise pollution / skeleton

⤷ disclaimer: has no connection to any existing characters, just a character idea i want to see!
⤷ faceclaim suggestions: seventeen's dk ... no other choices. (or anyone as noisy and energetic but he's the best fc for this)
⤷ ic requirements (?): zumba / aerobics instructor that helps the elderly within gohyang in the mornings!
⤷ notes: one of those characters who is just bursting with energy and probably without a drop of caffeine in him, mid to late 20s, has that clip on mini speaker on his hips and a headset with a microphone and has an extensive knowledge of aerobics and exercise and knows the lyrics of olivia newton john's song 'let's get physical'

raised by blood / skeleton.

   ⤷ status: 0/1 open.
   ⤷ connection: doyoon's younger brother.
   ⤷ faceclaim suggestions: nam dareum (born 2002 irl), or any faceclaim that is similar to dino of seventeen (doyoon's faceclaim) and is within the adjustable age range of dohwan that is allowed within gohyang. (+/- 5 years from 2001, dohwan's canon birth year) faceclaims can be discussed!
   ⤷ ic requirements: name will be cha dohwan (name can be negotiable but this is the placeholder name and the brother's name on doyoon's profile), will have lived in seoul for most of his life and was raised by his older brother, more or less.
   ⤷ notes: please read doyoon's profile for more background on their family and what happened in relation to the divorce! the character would have been raised from early childhood until his late teens by doyoon. they would be very close and have a very positive relationship considering that their mother neglected them both for their half-brother born of the man she cheated on their father with.
   ⤷ family connections by association: none except the npc family members! so his mother and father.

under his wing / skeleton.

⤷ one slot, can be for a new (skeleton) or existing (connection) character! preferably existing.
⤷ relationship: intern to the mayor.
⤷ age / age range: in their 20s, younger than taeyang.
⤷ gender: male or female.
⤷ genre / themes: general, friendship, comedy, mentor and mentee, fluff?
⤷ other prerequisites: would have the qualifications to be a city all intern ic, like being in college or having graduated in something in or adjacent to public administration. or basically anything that just makes sense for them to be working under the mayor / government.
⤷ details:
┊with taeyang's second term as the mayor and his first re-election, he's been carrying so much more responsibility. this has become extra heavy once the town was promoted to a city in line with all the changes the local government has made. he's never really thought of having his personal intern before, only relying on the general younger ones for the whole office but this time he's more open to the idea. it's also the closest he can get to have a younger sibling-type friend that he can teach and take under his wing. hopefully any applicants can match the mayor's goofy and equally serious behaviour.

❛ younger/twin sister ❜　⋯　open
　⋯　21-23 ('01 line) if younger, '00 line if twin
　⋯　female
　⋯　surname roh, would be cool if they shared a matching syllable like min-
　⋯　fc recs: kwon eunbin from clc (would need to be aged down for younger or kept the same for twin), heo yoorim (aisha) from everglow (would need to be aged down for younger or kept the same for twin), kim yerim (yeri) from red velvet (would need to be aged down for both younger and twin). honestly I'm not the best at picking out fcs that look similar so djfkfj anyone would do too >< *also if anyone I mentioned is accidentally problematic, just ignore and let me know TT TT I'm behind on all that

❛❛ minion's younger sister that he's definitely close to and loves to spoil. he's always trying to take you out for the classic "girl's daye" (yeah I'm stealing that from rj on tiktok), and whenever he can't get a hold of his friends, you're probably the next person he's showing up to bother. your choice if your muse also went away for college/job prospects like the older sister or if she remained in gohyang like minjun.

　⋯　their parents are very much the coddling type. would keep all their kids in their family home if their kids let them. natives to gohyang and have never left because they adore the small town. very close sibling relationship, minjun loves to send her memes.

❛ older sister ❜　⋯　open
　⋯　24+
　⋯　female
　⋯　surname roh, would be cool if they shared a matching syllable like min-
　⋯　fc recs: yoo siah (yooa) from oh my girl, kwon eunbin from clc (would need to be aged up), bae suzy. honestly I'm not the best at picking out fcs that look similar so djfkfj anyone would do too ><

❛❛ minjun's older sister who left gohyang the moment she was able to. the main idea was that she attended college (your choice of where) and chose to stay there, but now she's recently returned to gohyang (you can choose the reason). part of why they could potentially have a rocky relationship in the present is because minjun stayed in gohyang after seeing how upset his older sister leaving made their parents, so there could be slight resentment there or they could have had a heart to heart at some point that brought them back together.

　⋯　their parents are very much the coddling type. would keep all their kids in their family home if their kids let them. natives to gohyang and have never left because they adore the small town. sibling relationship would be very close ideally, but also down to talk that out. not opposed to them being on rocky terms.

— a tree that just won't die.

⤷ connection: doyoon's "permanent acquaintance" aka not his friend but also not his enemy... just a constant presence he can’t get rid of because of circumstance!
⤷ faceclaim suggestions: monsta x's son hyunwoo / shownu (literally no other suggestions i see shownu, but possibly someone who has the same vibe is fine!)
⤷ ic requirements: a lumberjack, will supply doyoon and his father with lumber.
⤷ notes: will always be in doyoon's life but it will never develop into close friendship it's just two standing men emojis, basically. they would probably know a lot about each other but out of proximity and with no consent (just heard from other people). anything else about him as a character is up to you!

❝ my beloved brother.
— any age as long as he is younger than soojin, male (obviously)
— fc suggestions : cix's hyunsuk, astro's sanha, anyone who has similar features to iu.
— connection to my muse : soojin's beloved younger brother.
— requirements: has to have 'rang' as their surname. first name doesn't have to match.
— notes : please read soojin's profile for a grasp of their family. besides that, take note that rang miyeon is their cousin and mayor yoo taeyang is his brother-in-law.

↪ you were practically raised by soojin when you were younger with your parents both being far too preoccupied by work. this in turn, resulted in the both of you having an extremely strong bond. soojin is fiercely protective of you and still sees you as her responsibility despite you already being an adult.

❝ just trust me, i can do it.
— college-age or early 20s, any gender, intern for the town council.
— fc suggestions : none but preferably someone who looks capable
— connection to my muse : soojin's intern that she can't seem to trust to do things on their own.

↪ you thought interning for the town council would be fun but as luck would have it, you got stuck with the most competitive one on the team — soojin. she's constantly watching over your work like a hawk. "you need to learn" she'd say, and yet, she's constantly breathing down your neck trying to make sure that you're doing things right. at this rate, you're begging your fellow interns to let you swap superiors with them... even just for one day.
