Read Before You Approach Me

FOR PLOTTING. I will plot with you, I will brainstorm with you, but we have to be able to have an actual conversation. Do not bother approaching me if you are going to expect me to come up with the plot by myself. If that's the case-- go choose from the plots I already have posted. I am absolutely okay with random starters as long as you stick to the rules in this ooc section.

TIME ZONE & PACE. GMT-8/PST. My pace varies depending on the plot size and literacy, as well as my ooc life and muse. I will keep you updated throughout responses, so please do not poke me before 2 weeks of silence.

OOC AGE & MATURE THREADS. I am 25 years old. In order to do Mature Threads I expect you to be 21+ and will be asking. As for the thread itself, we can discuss the content in the case of choosing to commit to a mature plot.

WRITING STYLE. My style varies between para and novella. Depending on my muse and ooc schedule I lean more towards literate, light novella. Currently I am busy and so I will be writing in semi-literate, multi-para third person. I do not expect you to also use third person, however I do wish for mirrored responses. I too will mirror your responses. If you would like me to start the thread I will, however my starters are always abnormally sized. Please do not base your responses on the size of my starter.

GENRE LIMITS. I will plot anything other than romance. The only times I will plot romance is; 1: I have posted a connection searching for a partner or, 2: I have posted a plot searching for an ex.

TAGGING. I do not want anything on my wall. Threads are to go in rooms and rooms only unless the plot is a mature thread, in which pms are the appropriate location.

BIG NO-NOS. Poking me before 2 weeks. GOD MODDING. Plotted Romance. IC drama involving my characters without prior consent.

The Story

Hyunjin Hwang

Chapter I

In the depths of sorrow, some weep with tears more scorching than their internal pain. Others harbor an anger as intense as the blazing sun, a rage that sears their soul until it unravels. Hyunjin, however, stands apart from these reactions. On the eve of his fifth birthday, surrounded by his makeshift family of five at the dining table, little did he grasp that this moment marked the final vestige of peace in his life. 

Peace, a delicate illusion akin to an unattainable heaven, eludes most, revealing itself as a myth—a mirage to those acquainted with the harsh realities of existence. To merely be, devoid of meaningful contribution to the universe, only to culminate in death. As Hyunjin extinguished his birthday candles, his father's grisly demise staining the table, he tasted the bitter prelude to his own fate: Pain. Suffering. Unrelenting grief. Grief, a multifaceted affliction, finds diverse expressions; for some, it's ignorance—a deliberate erasure of emotion, replacing it with a singular feeling. This becomes Hyunjin's coping mechanism for his trauma.

On his fifth birthday, Hyunjin unraveled a truth that shattered his innocence—his father's involvement in a drug cartel. The brutal murder of his parents that night marked not just the end of celebration but the demise of his childhood serenity.
"Don’t you worry kid. This place is nice and welcoming, and you will get along just fine with the other kiddos inside. If you ever need anything you can ask the Director, okay? His name is–"
Hyunjin tuned out the social worker's words, his gaze fixed on the drab walls, absorbing the mingling scents of cigarette smoke and bleach. It wasn't the office's bleach scent that overwhelmed him; it was a haunting reminder from the day his parents were murdered, etching itself into his memory. The cleaning solution's corrosive smell clung to his consciousness, resisting the stranger's attempts to draw him into conversation.

Clutching a teddy bear shared with his brother, Hyunsoo, a Christmas gift from the year before, he faced the grim reality of likely never reuniting with his siblings. His brother and sister found refuge with his step-mother's family, unwilling to connect with the child linked to the man responsible for their daughter's death. The reasons eluded Hyunjin, much like the broader chaos surrounding him. Gripping the bear tightly, he ignored the social worker's words, his heart racing.

As the years unfolded, Hyunjin drifted through life, numbed and detached. Three years in the orphanage led to a cycle of fleeting homes, never discovering a true sense of belonging. The specter of his past tormented him, pushing him to seek solace in the darkest corners of his mind and society. Unusual fascinations like spiders, the eerie unknown, blood, and tears set him apart, sabotaging any chance of lasting adoption.

One pivotal day at the church yard owned by the orphanage, the Head Sister and a mysterious man named Lorenzo altered Hyunjin's trajectory. Claiming to be a relative, Lorenzo saw untapped, raw potential beneath the boy's cold exterior—recognizing the anger and pain simmering within. As the underboss of the notorious mafia organization "Selvaggio," Lorenzo offered Hyunjin an escape from his old life, a chance to embrace his inner darkness, and seek revenge on those who had robbed him of everything. Despite his tender age, Hyunjin, desperate for purpose and an outlet for his rage, agreed without hesitation.
Chapter II

✶ ⁞   The Selvaggio Mafia hails from Milan, Italy.

Under Lorenzo's guidance, Hyunjin honed his skills in combat, espionage, and manipulation. He quickly rose through the ranks of Selvaggio, proving himself to be a valuable asset. With each mission he undertook, Hyunjin grew more ruthless, his heart growing colder with every life he took. He became known as "La Vipera," a name that struck fear into the hearts of his enemies.

Fourteen long years pass, and Hyunjin's reputation as a skilled and merciless assassin grew. He especially harnessed his extreme talent with firearms, specializing in assassination via sniper rifles and pistols. He was the best marksman in all of Italy at a very young age.. But deep inside, a part of him still longed for something more. He yearned for a chance at redemption, a way to escape the cycle of violence and find a shred of humanity within himself.

Returning to South Korea, Hyunjin and his leader, Christopher Bang, formed a new gang called "Venom," dedicated to cleansing the streets of corruption and restoring justice. With a network of loyal members at his side, he waged a war against the very same corrupt forces that had shaped his tragic past. As time went on, Hyunjin discovered that his ultimate battle was not just against the external forces of evil, but also the demons that resided within himself. He grappled with the darkness that had consumed him, struggling to find a balance between justice and vengeance.

In the end, Hyunjin's journey will not be one of redemption or salvation. It is the story of a young boy who had lost everything, a young child who was then shaped by his tragedy and emerged as a force to be reckoned with. He walks as a man along a path stained with blood, forever marked by the choices he has made.
“Hyunjin's legacy will forever be intertwined with the name Venom, a symbol of both fear and hope in the hearts of the people. And when he stands at the top with his leader, gazing out at the city he has sworn to protect, he will know that his fight is far from over. The streets will forever be a battleground, but he is determined to bring light to the darkness, even if it means sacrificing his own soul along the way. ”
