Player Name: Asher

Referred By: Claire

Character Name: Yoojin Han
Canon: My S-Class Hunters
Suitability: Love is literally Yoojin's superpower. His universe's LitRPG system gave him the title "Perfect Custodian" because of his ability to love and care for even the scariest, most unlovable superhuman monsters in his life, and he continues over and over to find ways to empathize with, understand, and nurture broken and dangerous beings. On his own part, though, he's turned "dodging vulnerability and the mortifying ordeal of being known" into a competitive sport and life is his Olympics. BREAKING NEWS: man who can dish it out (endlessly loving support) can't take it (kokoro --> BWOOF, smithereens).
Age & Romance Preferences: Yoojin is physically 25 and mentally 30, and I can ship him with anyone ages 20+ (though he's more likely to moon over someone older). Gender, sex parts, presentation, etc. don't really matter, but we can call him a male-leaning bisexual in practice. He's also flexible on species, though he's more comfortable with those who look more human.

Character Name & Pronouns: Yoojin Han (he/him)
Character Age: Physically 25, mentally 30
Canon: My S-Class Hunters (a.k.a. The S-Classes I Raised, My S-Ranks, etc.)
Canon Point: Ch. 360 of the webnovel

History:

Youth:
  • Yoojin is born to normal, modern-day parents in normal, modern-day Seoul, Korea.
  • When Yoojin is five, his little brother, Yoohyun, is born. He instantly becomes the center of an adoring Yoojin's world.
  • Over time, the boys' parents get more and more afraid of the superhuman power they can sense in Yoohyun. They spend less time at home, avoiding both their children until they die in an accident when Yoojin is fifteen and Yoohyun is ten.
  • Yoojin drops out of school to work and take care of Yoohyun, hoping to save enough money to put Yoohyun through college. Yoohyun, for his part, puts all his natural talent into studying so he can get a good job and take care of Yoojin in the future.

Dungeon Shock:
  • When Yoojin is twenty-two and Yoohyun seventeen, "dungeons" open all over the world, allowing monsters to burst through into Earth. Humans also Awaken with powers, including Yoohyun. Yoohyun's sheer power earns him recognition as Korea's youngest S-rank.
  • Fearing that various enemies will target Yoojin to get to him, Yoohyun leaves home and cuts off most contact with Yoojin--without explaining the situation to his brother. Yoojin takes this distance suuuuuper well. Not.
  • Yoojin later Awakens with F-rank stats and no useful combat skills. Public opinion, which was never in his favor, turns totally against him. He can only get unsafe, poorly-paid dungeon gigs with low-level parties. Said parties are frequently wiped out with Yoojin the only survivor, which only makes his reputation as a leech and bad omen worse.
  • Yoojin survives these encounters due to a skill called "Final Thanks."

Wish Stone:
  • Yoojin, now 30, tags along on a normal raid in a D-rank dungeon, when a three-headed dragon ranked WAY higher than the dungeon should hold turns up and slaughters his party. Yoohyun then appears, equally inexplicably, and is killed protecting Yoojin. Final Thanks activates, temporarily transferring Yoohyun's strengths and skills to Yoojin at 2x strength, allowing him to slay the dragon that killed his brother.
  • The "system" awards Yoojin a Wish Stone for his impossible achievement, which Yoojin uses to turn back time five years, before he got his Awakening--before everything in his life truly went off the rails.
  • Returned to the body of his twenty-five-year-old self, and re-Awakening with the same crappy stats but new and improved support and resistance skills, Yoojin throws everything into reconciling with his baby brother and steering them off the path that leads to Yoohyun's death.
  • This leads to a wacky series of events where Yoojin makes allies of some of the most terrifying and powerful people in Korea, fudges some details about his Perfect Custodian powers so he can present himself as a monster tamer, gets rich quick, finds himself kidnapped a half-dozen times, blows up several buildings, kills a couple godlike alien beings, adopts like 30 assorted creatures/people, and births a pink fairy dragon.

Current Arc:
  • At Yoojin's canonpoint, he's been partially brainwashed, kidnapped, and physically harmed by a group working with the Chinese military, and so might be slightly less seemingly trusting than normal.


Personality: On the outside, Yoojin's the most normal-seeming, friendly neighborhood twenty-something you could ever meet. Perhaps he's a little down on his luck, but he's cheerful, hardworking, and sarcastically funny, and he's always ready to support anyone he sees having a hard time. He's also the quintessential obsessed big brother, and anyone meeting him will know within two minutes how handsome, smart, strong, kind, polite, and adorable his little brother, Yoohyun, is. Digging in any deeper, though, reveals that Yoojin's a survival-oriented, scrappy schemer with an abandonment complex the size of the planet Jupiter and absolutely no chill. None of that negates how genuinely caring and nurturing he is, especially to young people who remind him of his own hurt and loneliness.

(I know this is supposed to be the meat I'm so sorry I'M LATE I'M LATE FOR A VERY IMPORTANT END OF APP PERIOD DATE)

Abilities:
Weeps. You can find a more detailed rundown here, but for brevity and clarity's sake:

Custodial Skills: Yoojin's Perfect Custodian title allows him to establish a magical caretaker bond with the words "I love you," as long as the words touch the recipient's emotions in some way. This causes the recipient to associate Yoojin with the best caretaker they've ever had (or just makes them fond of him, if they never had someone like that), and enables some of his other growth-boosting and support skills. The Perfect Custodian powers as a whole might need some nerfing in RD's setting, though I'm not sure how to approach it myself; love as a power that embraces, nurtures, and makes you stronger is, like, the thesis statement that Yoojin represents, and I want to maintain that in RD as what he has that's worth teaching.
Mental Skills: Yoojin has skills that let him 1) sneak a peek of people's potential stats/skills, 2) share sensory input among various targets, and 3) create mental landscapes. The first two are easy to opt into/out of, since Yoojin's not very magically powerful, and the third one I'm just going to nerf from the get-go because he doesn't have his mana-boosting item at his canonpoint.
Passive Skills: As a reward for defeating the dragon that killed Yoohyun, Yoojin resists legendary-grade curses, poisons (including benign substances like medicine), and fear/intimidation. He can turn these on and off at will. His skills are also twice as effective against venomous curse dragons, which is such a specific category, I'm not sure it needs to be nerfed. He also has a "mana inscription" along his spine that makes him sensitive to magic, but it's currently canonically nerfed because that input seriously overwhelms his F-rank body.
Stealth: The Hidden Object skill doesn't make Yoojin invisible, but very difficult to detect, even when he's actively being sought. Can be overcome by those with powerful enough senses or magic of their own.
Inventory: Like all Awakened people from Yoojin's world, he has access to a hammerspace inventory. It can only store items found in dungeons or made entirely from dungeon byproducts, and I leave it to mod discretion whether items here in Rosavelle can be stored in it or not.

Bloom Bond Flower:

Forget-me-not: This one's my top choice for Yoojin. He is nurturing and affectionate to those he cares for, that's his whole thing; and he's endured so much and continues to endure in order to see those he loves survive. His story is also very much a narrative about grief, accepting and denying loss, and sheer bloody-minded stubbornness. Memory--his own and those gifted to him through Final Thanks, to name just two types--also play an enormous role in Yoojin's story. Every insane choice he makes is fueled by his refusal and/or inability to let go of the memories that have carved him into who he is, inch by painful inch.
Tulip: That said, he's also all about creating a bright future for his kids. He believes in them, far more than he believes in himself. On the flip side, he's also obviously a sad little pile of regrets that he refuses to address, beneath that candy coating of his. He can also be a little possessive, both when it comes to the people he loves... and money and material goods.
Geranium: Again, as a parental, caretaking figure, Yoojin is dedicated to giving others protection and comfort. Being unable to, always too weak and without resources (until now), he hides a million self-doubts (and internalized put-downs and abuse) beneath his easy, friendly smile and distractable attitude.
