Bio __________________________________________________________Ryom was the product of a single-mother and father that was no where to be seen. Despite being poor and living in a rough neighborhood, his mother never made it seem like they were poor and was already to patch Ryom up after numerous playground scuffles. No matter what happened she was always there for him. One day as his mother was washing dishes, Ryom was watching a music show that she had left on. He doesn't remember the day that much but his mother told him later that was when she knew he had a special gift. Soon after that, his mother engaged him in singing lessons and for awhile music filled the hole that his father had left. Ryom used a bit of saved up money to purchase a worn-out guitar at a thrift store and began making videos online of himself singing. That was the catalyst that started his career as a musician, as he began on the street and in venues that would let him play. His mother's health took a turn for the worse and after a trip to the hospital it was discovered she had breast cancer. With medical bills to pay, Ryom took whatever gigs he could get often bringing himself to the brink of collapse as his mother's condition continued to worsen. A once-in-life chance happened when a recording label agent watched one of his shows. From that point on, he became a rising star in South Korea's music industry. At the debut of his first live performance, his mother showed up with a brand new guitar for him. Ryom held show after show and his actions began to worry even his agent, who insisted he needed rest. His best friend, Tae, dragged him along to a comic convention at the behest of his mother. While looking at the various stall, he received a call from the hospital that there was drastic change in his mother's health. Ryom rushed for the exit without saying a word to Tae and knocking over several people in the process. The door the convention center flung open and squeezed his eyes shut at the bright sun above. When they finally opened, his entire world changed. | Personality __________________________________________________________When Ryom sets his mind to something, there is very little that will stop him from doing it. He absolutely hates when people tell him he can't achieve something, it doesn't matter if he has the strength or tools to do it. Foul-mouthed and hot-tempered, Ryom isn't one to sit down and be silent when someone is irritating him or doing something he doesn't agree with. That being said there is a soft side to Ryom. He is fiercely loyal to those he considers family or friends and will defend the poor or innocent even if it means getting himself hurt in the process. Ryom isn't one to sugarcoat words and will speak openly, for better or worse. His true feelings are normally masked with sarcasm and harsh remarks, trying to keep others at a distance. However, he absolutely loves music and talking about it is one of his favorite subjects. Ryom often hums melodies when he is by himself or while when he has to wait. He is quick to think on the fly and adjust his strategies to adapt to the situation he's in. Ryom is not afraid to utilize what others might call "dirty" or "under-handed" techniques and will fight tooth and nail to win the fights he occasionally finds himself in. No matter the odds, Ryom will not leave an friend's side if they are in danger. He is quick to assume the worst in people so he approaches anyone new with extreme caution. |
Physical Appearance __________________________________________________________Ryom is a rather tall guy for a South Korean with almond-brown, medium length length that is in a state of controlled chaos. His wardrobe mostly consists of a few favorite long-sleeve shirts and some pairs of worn-out jeans with a few hoodies and button-shirts that are usually tied around his waist when its warmer out. Ryom almost always is wearing a pair of headphones on his head and when they are not on his head, they are around his neck. Almost as essential to his look, and perhaps more, is his guitar that he nearly carries everywhere he goes. A single, flower shaped tattoo resides on his arm with a date. This, and a single surgical scar in his right torso, are the only markings on his body. Ryom is thin but doesn't possess much in the form of muscles. Small bags have formed under his eyes from over-working and a lack of sleep. | Intentions __________________________________________________________Ryom wants nothing more than to return to his original world. He's willing to pursue any leads if he think it will bring him closer to home. Despite his situation and goals, he does not want to forsake his gift for music and wants to find something similar to his guitar in the short term. In the end, what he wants most in life is to be the best son and make the person who means the most to him proud. |
