CHARACTER NAME: Haneul Moon CANON: original character CANON POINT: When he's on the plane, ready to cross "New Orleans trip" off his bucket list. CRAU: No AGE: 24 AGENT OF DESTINY: No BACKGROUND:
Gossip was harsh and common when Haneul was a boy. It wasn't just that his mother was young and unwed, though that would've been enough in Gwangju, but when your missing parent is rumored to be a ghost-
Well, tongues wag.
So childhood was a lot of quiet meals in his grandfather's house and quiet days at Mudeungsan mountain. His life was unremarkable until his teenage years, when he started getting flashes of something, images that he didn't want to see. And then they came to him, the spirit that left the limp body on the street, or the tapping of a beak against a window after a bird flew into it. He worried at first, but instinct soon took over, and Haneul led them where they needed to go.
Whether it was a result of Haneul coming into his own as a psychopomp, or spirits seeking him out for his help, paranormal activity started to pick up around their house. His mother urged him not to tell his grandfather anything, and took the blame for it herself. Haneul came home from school one spring afternoon to find a shaman and his own grandparents trying to force the evil spirits from his mother's body. She died at their hands, and Haneul escorted his first human spirit.
At the age of fourteen, Haneul went to live with his aunt in the United States. He felt comfortable with her and the unusual people that she kept company with. He started school, he worked hard to perfect his English, and he started paying attention to the premonitions. Haneul thought he might be able to prevent the things that he saw happening, and maybe put himself out of his weird job in the process. So far it's always ended the same way: too late for the body, but just in time for the person's soul.
What he's seen hasn't really inspired hope or dread in him, though there are times when that final destination seems more on the menacing side, when Haneul has to give the person a nudge. Lingering behind causes a decay of the spirit that's not unlike the decay of the body. Being a psychopomp only made Haneul want to live his best life, and his personal bucket list takes up the better part of a notebook. He's ticked off a few things so far: he's tried all 31 of Baskin Robbin's flavors, he's taken a whale watching cruise, he's gotten over his fear of insects (mostly) by taking a college entomology class. There's so much more to do, and a hundred years wouldn't be nearly enough time for all of it.
POWERS: ability to safely travel between the realms of the living and the dead: It just comes with the job of being a psychopomp. (This ability is sealed for gameplay. Haneul won't be going anywhere.)
brief bursts of clairvoyance where death and danger are involved: This happens with a flash of a vision and a headache that could bring a bull down. There is never enough detail for him to know the full how, when, and where, but it's enough to put him on high alert.
intangibility: Largely connected to his emotions, with negative ones often resulting in this state. It's mostly accidental.
poltergeist activity: Really it's just telekinesis, but a little more chaotic and a little more compact. This ability is ranged to twenty feet in all directions, and limited to moving objects that are twenty pounds or less.
STARTING EQUIPMENT: - his daemon, a crow named moond -a suitcase containing clothes, socks, a toothbrush, and a children's storybook.
EXIT STRATEGY: Haneul was just boarding the plane to New Orleans when the storm hit. It didn't get any calmer during the flight - in fact, it was rapidly tearing up the world below. By the time it hit his plane, Haneul was sure they were going down. He fell through a portal just as the plane was falling apart, and was unceremoniously dumped on the beach of Xistentia.
