ABOUT THE CHARACTER
contains potentially triggering subjects: drugs, abuse, homicide, hints at attempted suicide
Won's childhood wasn't the most fulfilling of childhoods. She woke up in the mornings to the sound of her mother's cheerful voice and was prepared for the day asking with her little brother with whatever breakfast the woman could rustle up. Once the two of them were sent to school, Won wouldn't see her mom again until the next morning, being somewhat watched over by a neighbor whenever he could pop in. Won did most of the childcare, raising both herself and her brother, but she was okay with it. Having to mature early, she understood their situation and she never held any resentment for her mother.
By 15, Won was the woman of the house. Her mom showed up less and less and Won and her brother would easily go 4 days without seeing the woman. This was no cause for concern until their mother disappeared altogether. It had been almost two weeks when Won decided something was amiss. She reported her mother's disappearance to the police but the case eventually ran cold, leaving the two Ryu children to be sent to an orphanage. Though plagued by nightmares, Won continued living her life as normally as she could. She kept up her grades and stood as a rock for her little brother until he was adopted by a family in London. She was never adopted and with no one left to stay strong for, Won began changing.
Won's grades slipped and she became isolated from her peers, even the ones she considered her best friends. She eventually turned to people outside for some semblance of companionship. It started with petty thieves and druggies, but all of that stopped when she met one man in particular. He was 10 years her senior and made a sizable amount of money and he was actually interested in her! He seemed too good to be true and he was. If Won had known what she'd eventually be trapped with, she would have stayed with the degenerates. He was the worst thing to ever happened to her.
The man, whose name she refused to ever repeat before losing her past life memories, seemed sweet enough in the beginning. He helped her get her life on track, clothing and feeding her and even getting her out of the drug addiction she had started to develop. He was a dream come true for a struggling 16-year-old but, about half a year into the relationship, he turned sour. The man began abusing Won, both physically and emotionally. She still has scars to this day from his abuses. Won, with nowhere to turn, found herself unable to leave. She was stuck with him for 3 years until she found out that she was pregnant and had miscarried all in the same day. His abuse was particularly bad that night and Won snapped. She hit him over the head with a vase and proceeded to stab the unconscious man over 30 times, killing him.
She sat on the blood-soaked floor for over an hour, letting her actions sink in. Once she regained her wits, she ran. She was never convicted but that man was her only family and Won found herself on the streets at barely 19 years old. She got by at first by stealing what she needed and then she was exposed to the tricks of the homeless world and she got by through much better means. Still, this was barely enough for survival. Won scraped by for a few months until she suddenly got the urge to pack up and leave Seoul altogether. She'd never heard of The Isles of Ivyaki or Viribus at all, but she went anyway since there was nothing for her to lose.
It's been about two years since Won dropped everything to disappear off of the face of the Earth, but its a decision she's never regretted; mostly because she can't remember the life she left. Even though Ivyaki's kind of weird with people having superpowers like some sort of comic book, she actually quite likes it, if that can be seen through her rough exterior. It's a relatively peaceful place compared to the dark city she gets occassional flashes and vauge dreams of and she can't remember a time when she wasn't her personal brand of "happy."
She's recently started to discover her powers, the both of them being rather dormant. Acid blood was an easy one, she'd accidentally cut herself while cooking and burned a hole clean through her already ty counter. Her main ability was a little harder to detect but there have been incidents over the past year or so. After getting into a car accident that should have definitely taken her life, tempting fate on her own one night, and surviving a normally fatal gunshot wound from an attempted robbery at G's, she's starting to think that maybe she just can't die. And she's on the fence about how good that is.

CHARACTER'S PERSONALITY
Won is best described as rose: pretty but will most definitely prick you if not handled properly. From the get go, she's short, sarcastic, and unwilling to form any real friendships in the name of self-preservation. She's not aware of the reason why, of course, but it's due to the fact that the last person she trusted fully nearly killed her. Once someone manages to get past that barrier, she's still very sarcastic but there's no way one could reasonably call her mean. When she cares about someone, she cares completely and with her whole being. Won's got a sharp tongue and the vocabulary of a sailor, but at the core of everything, she's still a 22 year old that didn't get to have a real childhood at any point in her life. With her seemingly sourceless depression and ptsd, she struggles a lot with being genuinely happy, often able to put up a facade that tricks concerned people long enough to get them out of her hair.
She likes lavender (plant and color), raspberry green tea, comfortable clothes, sunshowers, dark chocolate, animals, children, rock and hip hop music, cartoons, and astronomy. She hates being handled roughly, small spaces, coffee, strong perfumes or colognes, being too cold, and the smell of gasoline. Aversion to rough handling, her fear of small spaces,and strong perfumes are all directly related to her past. The scent of blood makes her sick as well and usually triggers memory blips. She doesn't really have many hobbies past the late night walks she finds herself taking to deal with her insomnia.

CHARACTER'S OCCUPATION
Won has a really humble job as a bartender at the G's in Viribus. It was the first job that she could get upon moving to Ivyaki and she's been there ever since. It doesn't pay much at all, but she's only living for herself and can't bring herself to care about living somewhere nicer than where she is now. She does like the job though, seeing as it's a chance for her to listen to the stories from other people when they come around and drunkenly spill their thoughts. Her shift being at night also means she gets to spend her days doing absoltely nothing, which proves to both be bad and good as she's able to have time to herself without being annoyed by others but she's also stuck with just her and her rampant thoughts.

user's ooc notes
01. i definitely prefer plot over wing and PMs over wall so I can keep track of it all. i do expect some cooperation when it comes to plotting as well. i want us to have a plot that we're both happy with. otherwise, it's no fun for someone. if you don't like something/something doesn't work with your character, tell me and i'd do the same.
02. i prefer 3rd, paragraph but nothing incredibly long. two or three solid ones are perfectly fine. i'm also very up for detailed script (1st) that's cool too
03. reply speed varies because i like to give my best and i might be held up with work stuff or just not having an idea of what to say right away. sometimes writing for rpr is just hard because i get burnt out. you don't have to poke me, i'm literally always thinking about it when i haven't replied and i promise to get back to you.
04. if you feel like we need to work out some kinks, get back on track, or completely overhaul because the plot is straying or dying a bit, tell me! i'd do the same for you. we can figure it out together. team work makes the dream work, my dudes.
05. i don't plot budding romance, that has to come naturally between our characters. however, if it's something in the past or already established, that's fine by me. any that happens should NEVER be with minors.
06. finally, when it comes to starting, i don't do any of that "you ask, you start" stuff. if it makes sense for the plot to start with a certain character, that's who should start.
