Background: The place: Earth. The time: our contemporary era; let's call it 2018. A few years ago, strange portals opened all over the planet, sowing worry and confusion. Those concerns became deadly real when monsters came rushing out those doors into a terrified and unprepared society. At the same time, some humans awoke to supernatural strength and magical abilities apparently managed by some video game-like "system." Not only did they become powerful enough to combat the monsters pouring into their homes, these Awakened humans even took the fight to them, traveling through the portals to the fantasy-like pocket dimensions where the monsters spawn. They discovered that routinely clearing these spaces of monsters, particularly the strongest "boss" monster of each area, would prevent the monster population from spilling over into the human world.

Given how similar these mechanics were to those of popular RPGs, humanity quickly repurposed gaming terms for their new reality. The monsters' homes became known as dungeons, concepts like stat windows and skill ranks rose in public consciousness, and the Awakened formed guilds of Hunters. Their job? Raid dungeons, kill monsters, and bring back materials found nowhere on Earth. Soon enough, being a combat-class Hunter was the most coveted, lucrative career in the world.

At least, if you awakened with suitably high-ranked stats and skills. A-, B-, and S-ranked Hunters could take on the world... but what about everyone else?

Personal History: Years before the first dungeon break, Han Yoojin was an average guy completely devoted to raising his younger brother, Yoohyun. The day monsters poured into Seoul, seventeen-year-old Yoohyun awoke as a natural-born S-ranker, instantly making him one of the most powerful beings on Earth--an object of hero worship and fear all at once. Almost overnight, Yoohyun cut ties with his normie big brother, who eventually awakened as a piddling F-ranker, barely any stronger than an unawakened human.

Bewildered by his brother's rejection and jaded by the subsequent eight years of being treated like crap by a society prizing dungeon-diving ability above all else, Yoojin grew resentful and jaded. As an F-rank Hunter with no combat skills whatsoever, the only jobs he could get were exploitative mining gigs. Low-rankers like him died left and right, higher-ranked combat Hunters took over 80-90% of his earnings, and, despite their estrangement, he was frequently accused of mooching off Yoohyun, who by then was the guildmaster of one of Korea's top Hunter guilds. Yoojin also gained an unfortunate reputation

ic permissions
Physical affection: ✓
Physical violence: Check with me! Grabbing/manhandling him is generally fine (and very easy to do), but anything causing injury is something I'd rather work out OOC first.
Shipping: All genders, 20+. Seems like he's always been too busy to date... (and also, g-good luck getting his baby brother's blessing...)
Mind-reading: Totally! He has no mental defenses of his own. Let me know IC- or OOC-ly if your character wants to read his mind, and I'll include his thoughts in my tags.
Magical information: Though Yoojin comes off to both regular and magical senses as pretty much a normal human in most ways, being an Awakened means he's slightly stronger than average and possesses some mana (i.e., magical energy). Also, those who are magically sensitive may notice foreign sources of mana implanted in his body.
IC offensive subjects/triggers that might come up: Parental neglect, parental death, physical and financial abuse, kidnapping, serious threats to agency... possible pseudo M-preg...?
