Room 500

| L I A M . M A T T H E W S | {⚜}
"You're going to L O L because I know I did."
Roxanne actually met Liam when she accidentally bumped into him as he was leaving his apartment one day. They got into a brief - Very brief conversation about the situation but every time she sees him, she always say hey and that's about it.

| J O S E P H . R I P P L E | {☯}
"He's always wanting to hear me sing and I am not sure as to why."
Roxanne and Joseph have an okay relationship with one another as they always have small conversations, much like his roommate Liam. Joseph always asks her about her singing and she is kind of curious as to why. She wonders if he knows someone that can help her into the business or not.

Room 502

| Z A H R A . H E A V E N | {☮}
"Since you were singing all day, maybe a nice hot tea would be pleasing for you and your vocal cords."
Zay is literally Roxie's sister from another mister. Since the day they met, they instantly hit it off. They met by Roxanne working at a local cafe and Zahra singing there one night. She attended to her and they started talking about singing and Roxie's own passion for singing. Zay constantly nudges her that she gets on a track with her and show her what she can do. But Roxanne is just a little nervous.

"How can I hate my own roommate? I absolutely love this guy even though he doesn't like reality television shows."
Hm, they are roommates but honestly, Roxanne can see them being something more since they do have that sort bond. One that is kind of unbreakable. She loves having Ryan as a roommate and wouldn't trade him for nobody else in the world. She even has a small, well, big but small crush on him, too. How can she not? He's so geeky and adorable and she loves that about him.

"If I ever need to get away from all the dumbasses in the world, this is who I go to."
Roxanne and Archer always like to get together and have an actual intelligent conversation. She adores hearing his opinions, whether good or bad and doesn't mind his two cents every now and then. She loves having Archer around so that she can have some intellect in her life.

Room 509

| R E E D . R I L E Y | {☮}
"I need a drink. Oh and I brought some movies, too."
Their friendship is a bit complicated, to say the very least. Roxanne likes to go over there for the occasion drink and movie night but other than that, she doesn't really spend too much of her time there. But one night, they did hook up and a few more times after that, as well. When she does need a relief from the real world, this is the person she goes to. It may be complicated but right now, she doesn't really care and she's starting to develop a little bit of feelings for him, too.

"What can I say about Rox? She is beautiful, and I enjoy having her as a roommate. Which makes things even harder at times."
Ryan really enjoys having Roxanne as a roommate, even though she has that annoying love of stupid reality tv shows. It helps that she doesn't mind how much of a environmental control freak he is around the apartment. At the same time however, it can be extremely hard to be her roommate, seeing that he has more than a simple crush on her.

Two perfectly great people crushing on each other, and Reed just so happens to be sleeping with one of them, and the other is his best friend. I don't know whether to feel scared or excited for the drama that's going to come with that :P

Min-kyu Lee "Leo"

{“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”}
~Mahatma Ghandi

---

---

Name:
_{Lee, Min-kyu}

Nickname:
_{Leo (he goes by this primarily because most people remember it more easily than his real name)}

Date of Birth:
_{October 27, 1990}

Age:
₂₅

Gender:
_Male

---

---

---

---

Sexuality:
_Heterosexual

Relationship Status:
_Single

Sexually active:
_{No; He poured the last six years of his life into building his reputation within the advertising company, so he never had time for a relationship. Recently, he’s been having second thoughts though}

Occupation:
_{Member of a TV Advertisement Think-Tank}

Room Number:
_TBA

In-depth Appearance:
_{Standing at 5’11 and weighing 170lbs, Leo has a somewhat lanky build. He exercises regularly though, so while he’s on the thin side, he isn’t just skin and bones. His hair is dark and a bit on the long side by male standards, but it is almost always well-kept. He has dark brown eyes as well that appear black in most lighting. As for his wardrobe, it is divided quite evenly between business and casual. When at work, he wears suits and collared shirts, but when out with friends or relaxing at home, he wears t-shirts and jeans. He has no piercings or tattoos, as he prefers to keep his skin clear of any permanent marks. It looks more professional that way, after all.}

• Can’t sleep after watching horror movies
• Toys with the clasp of his watch when nervous or deep in thought}

Hobbies:
_{• Photography

• Puzzles
• People with a good sense of humor

• Mario Kart (it’s the only video game he’s good at)}

Dislikes:

• Horror movies
• Strangely enough, he dislikes peanuts
• Lazy people
• Rap music}

Fears:
_{• Heights
• Snakes
• Failure}

---

Personality:
<sub>Compartmentalized: Leo prefers to keep his work at work and his free time free, so while he has a strong work ethic, he doesn’t let his responsibilities consume his life. Because he puts all of his thoughts in separate boxes, he is also able to prevent discouraging events from ruining his day. He just doesn’t think about them when he doesn’t feel the need to. In a way, this also has a negative effect though. He doesn’t know how to cope with his negative emotions because he ignores them.

Extroverted: Leo loves meeting new and interesting people. It’s the only reason why he goes to bars, since he isn’t much of a drinker. He is a socialite in the truest sense of the word, building relationships with as many people as he can, and maintaining deep, lasting relationships with those he cares most about. He isn’t loud, but he is proud and has quite the sense of humor, which makes him an easy person for others to feel comfortable around.

Optimistic: Leo doesn’t like to let life’s tragedies get him down. He has an infectiously positive attitude that affects almost every aspect of how he lives his life. “Every day has its ups and downs, but the ups are what matter most; Even if today went badly, tomorrow can only be better, right?” Thoughts like these are what drive him to try hard in all of his responsibilities, relationships, and hobbies.

Loyal: While Leo enjoys meeting new people and having casual banter with strangers, he is fiercely loyal of the people who matter most in his life. He gives his all to them, and he’s willing to drop everything (at least, everything he is able to) if they need him. This is a great attribute, especially for his friends, but it causes him problems when conflicts arise between the needs of his friends and the needs of his work.</sub>

Place of Origin:
_{Busan, South Korea}

History:
<sub>Min-kyu was born in South Korea just two years before his parents became naturalized citizens of the United States. They moved to Pennsylvania with him shortly after, and this is where he grew for most of his childhood. In all, he had a fairly uneventful childhood in Pennsylvania. He went to school, made some friends, had the usual teenager angst… Through all of it, though, he developed a strong moral compass and a desire to work hard at whatever he put his mind to. So, when his family moved to New York City (he was seventeen at the time), he was more than ready to take on the competition and make a name for himself.

Min-kyu (now going by his recently acquired nickname, Leo), finished his high school education in the Big Apple and spent the following year shopping his resume around at various advertisement companies. As low/middle-class immigrants, his family didn’t have the money to send him to college, so it was difficult for Leo to find a place that would hire him, but eventually he scored a job at Crossroads Film Inc. The starting pay was low, and he was only given the measly task of holding the boom mic, but it was the stepping stone he needed to get started in the world of advertisement.

Over the next six years, Leo’s combination of hard work and creative ideas won him higher and higher positions in the company. Currently, he is working as part of the Crossroads Film Inc. advertisement think-tank, although he aspires to someday become a director within the company.</sub>

Misc:
_{While the majority of his life was spent in America, Leo can still speak some Korean, and he can read/write Hangul.}

EDIT:
As for relationships... I have none yet. If anyone would like to start off with our characters being friends or acquaintances, just let me know! I think it would make sense for Leo to start off with a couple since he's an outgoing person, but I don't want to just add people at random

[sakurasan]

@HushedWhispers For the rooms, could I be in room 508 with Atsuko since it works out with our chars being besties. I want to start working on my post and I think I just will with that in mind. >>

_{HHave no idea how it was chosen.}
