Part 1: The Basics

-What is your full name?

Roden Hyung

-Where and when were you born?

Korea, Seoul.

-Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)

My mother is Chinese and my father is South Korean. My mother is a model and my father owns a hotel.
My Mum is very.. bossy, OCD, and busy. The house has to be clean all the time. It was hard growing up like that. My Dad is never at him most of the time. But he is very annoying, childish, and lazy. He is always trying to be close to me by acting like a 'friend' it is so annoying. And don't get me started on the dad jokes. *eye role*

-Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?

No I do not. I am the only child. I have friends that are like my siblings.

-Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people?

I live in my own place. Once I was old enough to speak I have been asking my dad for my own place. When I was sixteen he finally gave in and let me move out. He brought my apartment though. Before moving out I would stay in my room most of the time but now I like sitting in the living room with a book.

-What is your occupation?

I was forced into modeling by my mother. But I am a ordinary school student.

-Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks?

I'm 177cm tall and I weighs 45(?)kg. I'm half Korean and half Chinese, my skin is quite pail i think.. My hair color is black, but i like putting red in it. It is my favorite colour. It's short, just over the ears. I have hassle eyes. I wear make up, ever since i was a bit younger. I am just use to it as I would have to use it for modeling as a kid. black eye liner.. Umm....Just google me and you will know what makeup I wear. I usually wear dark colour's, but I wear blue, red and white, also. I like to wear anything that is comfortable. But i am usually forced to wear a suit and tie. They look nice but not that comfortable. I don't have any tattoos, I don't think I will ever get one. It really depends on the design or story behind it. I might find a design I like one day. I studied English in Australia, so I have an Australian accent when speaking in English. I was there for about 5 years. From age 8 until age 12 or 13, I think..

-To which social class do you belong?

Well, I am considered a celebrity in Korea. Not a big one, not like a singer would be. Just someone that gets photos taken for there job.

-Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?

Um.. well I don't open my eyes much. I mean I can and I do. But I mostly like to use my ears.

-Are you right- or left-handed?

I am ambidextrous, I can use both.

-What does your voice sound like?

Well, I talk softly most of the time, so it's not my full range. If I have to yell I won't bother with it.

-What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?

'Can you be a little quieter, please?' 'Can I pet your dog?' 'I wanna go home' 'It's so quiet here' 'How old is the baby?'

-What do you have in your pockets?

Only my phone, keys and wallet.

-Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?

People say I wonder off a lot. If I feel I am not in the conversation I will just find a quiet place to sit.
Another is, I am a clean freak like my Mum. She gave this habit to me.
Oh, I zone out a lot. In my own world. People find it annoying if they are trying to talk to me.
I can fall asleep almost anywhere if it is quiet enough. Also, I yawn a lot too.

Part 2: Growing Up

-How would you describe your childhood in general?

Um, it was good, I guess. I would be brought with my mum when she did her photo shoots. It was really boding though. My favorite part was going to see my grandmother. She loved me the most out of all my family. So she would give me anything I wanted. But most of all she would hug me to sleep. I miss her.

The first time we went to a beach... I hated it. I hate sand.

I am in school now.

My grandmother. My Dad's side by the way.

Sitting in the sun. I got in trouble a lot for it though. Because I wasn't aloud to tan my skin. *sigh*

-As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?

I didn't speak very much. I was always told how to act so when I was with other kids I was a bit lost.

-As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?

yes. Since I was a child model.

-When and with whom was your first kiss?

With a girl in 2nd grade. She did it out of know where. I was so shocked and cried.

No, I hope to never have one.

-When was the time you were the most frightened?

.....My friends?

-Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.

Ryan, is my best friend. We have known each other since I arrived in Australia. He was in the same school as me and was the only other Asian guy there. So we automatically gravitated to each other. Ryan, is funny or trys to be. He is very outgoing and very confident in anything he does. He is not afraid to speak his mind even if it gets him in trouble.

Minwoo, We are 'hair colour buddys' is what he calls us. He has Blue hair. He is a bit clingy. He is the crazy one in the group. He was in the news when he was younger, when his older brother gave him a blue tattoo stripe across him nose, to cover up a scar. His brother got a year in prison for it. but Minwoo begged to keep it.

Leon, we have a lot in common. He is a 'rich kid' too and has the same problems as me with his family. Minwoo, Is sweet and lovable. Very bubbly and easy to approach, so the opposite of me. I guess being in a big family has its benefits, parents don't just focus on you all the time. He is one of 8? Siblings... or was it more then that? I have no idea.

No.

Not really.

I am a follower.

-How do you spend a typical Saturday night? [I did the hole day]

Usually Ryan will call me which will wake me up, cause he is a morning person and I am not. He will then whine about me still being asleep. Then mention he is outside my house and whine about not having a key yet. And all this time on the phone, I have not said a word. I then get up to let him in otherwise he will keep calling me and whining about it. Then he will tell me to put cloths of cause I sleep in my underwear. Then he will whine saying, 'why didn't you put pants on before you opened the door?, I could have been anyone". Then I will think 'I wish, anyone but you'. I will then go and get some cloths on and be dragged outside to do whatever he came over for. And I will hate every bit of it. I will then get home, if i am lucky, at about 5pm. I will then start cooking dinner. Ryan may or may not be still with me. If he is I will then be zoning him out as he rambles on about something irreverent. Then he will notice this and whine some more. As he does that I will place his food in front of him which shuts him up and makes him focus on the food. then he will complement my cooking skills and start eating. With a mouth full of food he will then mention, for the billionth time, how he thinks I should be a cook. He will then leave at 8pm, with much force. I will then proceed to have a bath and brush my teeth, so I can then go to bed. For the same shit tomorrow. And this is why he is my best friend, He gets me out of the house when all I want to do is sleep.

I don't laugh much. Mostly at the stupid things Ryan does.

-What, if anything, shocks or offends you?

It takes a lot to offend me. I am like a rock.

I sleep. Or paint my feelings.

Loud people, loud eaters, fast walkers, ..I don't know, I don't get out enough to have any.

HI! I am Ryan and I will be answering this question because it males Roden uncomfortable.
I would say he is very handsome, very lovable, cute, yeah he can be cute, ummm oh is that three? AWWWW I had so many!
Roden, stop I am not finished. Why are you pushing me? towards the door?? Okay okay, I will leave. your just scared that I might say something embarrassing. You are right to be scared!

-If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character? (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice…)

I'd say; NAWWW sweetie!! You are so depressed and you don't know it. Please talk to someone, I know Ryan knows a lot, but he doesn't know everything. I think you should tell him how you feel and the reason why you like to sleep a lot, that is isn't just you loving to sleep, that it's you thinking you have no reason to get up in the morning. Don't go threw this alone.

Roden
