"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.

"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.

I think it's cute.
I have to admit I can relate to the feeling

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

Maybe a little bit of both. It will be interesting if or when Ryan finds out :p




@HushedWhispers Looks like I finished my CS just in time~
{โNobody can hurt me without my permission.โ}
~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, heโs been having second thoughts though
Occupation:
Member of a TV Advertisement Think-Tank
Room Number:
TBA
In-depth Appearance:
Standing at 5โ11 and weighing 170lbs, Leo has a somewhat lanky build. He exercises regularly though, so while heโs on the thin side, he isnโt 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.
Habits/Oddities/Quirks:
โข Always carries extra change in his pocket to give to homeless people around the city
โข Canโt sleep after watching horror movies
โข Toys with the clasp of his watch when nervous or deep in thought
Hobbies:
โข Photography
โข Running
โข Watching movies
Secrets:
โข Leo is dyslexic, but he doesnโt tell anyone because he doesnโt want to be looked down upon because of his disability
Likes:
โข Almost every kind of food
โข Animals (especially dogs)
โข Puzzles
โข People with a good sense of humor
โข Nice cars
โข Exercise
โข Mario Kart (itโs the only video game heโs good at)
Dislikes:
โข Alcohol (he will drink reluctantly, but he has a low tolerance)
โข Horror movies
โข Strangely enough, he dislikes peanuts
โข Lazy people
โข Rap music
Fears:
โข Heights
โข Snakes
โข Failure
Personality:
Compartmentalized: Leo prefers to keep his work at work and his free time free, so while he has a strong work ethic, he doesnโt 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 doesnโt think about them when he doesnโt feel the need to. In a way, this also has a negative effect though. He doesnโt know how to cope with his negative emotions because he ignores them.
Extroverted: Leo loves meeting new and interesting people. Itโs the only reason why he goes to bars, since he isnโt 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 isnโt 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 doesnโt like to let lifeโs tragedies get him down. He has an infectiously positive attitude that affects almost every aspect of how he lives his life. โEvery day has its ups and downs, but the ups are what matter most; Even if today went badly, tomorrow can only be better, right?โ 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 heโs 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.
Place of Origin:
Busan, South Korea
History:
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 angstโฆ 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 didnโt 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, Leoโs 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.
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
@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.
<Snipped quote by Summer>
Lovely character. Accepted.
Is it okay that I put him in Room 509 with Reed? I want at least everyone to have a roommate because drama.
<Snipped quote by HushedWhispers>
Of course~ I'll update my CS and move it to the CS thread
