Actual age: unknown (old)Relationship status / Sexuality: Taken. Pansexual. Open with curiosity towards poly. Tho this is unknown to those around him; his current relationship is mostly monogamous.

Current FC: Christian Yu/DPR Ian
Original: Song Mingi★ Important mun note! Korain willingly bought an enchanted mirror to change his appearance. He did it at first to test the waters and realized that "shedding" his old face took a huge weight off of him. It was as if he was saying goodbye to his past and taking a proper step into his future. Korain used to be very stuck in the past and in his ways that this was his symbolic way of letting go. So he did not "fall into a mirror" or "accidentally" look into one while out. He bought one from the market. So seeing someone that "looks like" his old face is canon for him. So if you pick up Mingi don't be surprised if he has an inner monologue about the similarities, don't be surprised!Personality: More reserved since his fall, can be very straight forward with walls built up. Despite what he says, his actions speak louder than words. Korain says one thing, but does the complete opposite. His curiosity usually gets him in trouble. He can have a bit of a sharp tongue. Given the situation and trust he has with someone, a bit more of his softer side will peek through though that has proved to never get him anywhere good so it’s rare. He can be really possessive over those that he holds close.Abilities: flight, omnilingual, truth and desire elicitation (please scroll to the bottom to see how his new abilities work!)Other random facts:
+ Owns a black cat named Biscuit. She stole his biscuit the first time he brought her home.+ Collects mugs.+ Sings. Plays the piano and guitar and bass. Produces his own things, self taught. Every now and then he will post stuff for fun.+ Has scars from bar fights and other things.+ Technology hates him.+ Thanks to an article for putting him in a dating rumor and him being close with model Rafaela Han, he seems to have collected a bit of a mini fandom for being the "hot bar owner."+ Status means nothing to him. Master or Slave, you are all the same to him. You will not be treated any differently.+ Considering Korain's history with a Sin, he does not react very well with being in the presence of them. Once he figures out he is around one he gets anxiety / panicky and can lash out depending on the interaction. Currently, he's gotten better about being around them, tho he's still cautious.+ Unknowingly cursed. This will come into play later as the arc progresses. So, at times he will be very sick.

Story: tw: alludes to drug use, sexual assault, alcohol consumption, death of a loved oneKorain was loyal. He took his Guardian role very seriously and looked after every charge he was given with great care. Of course that was a given considering it was his job, but he found joy in integrating himself into his charge’s lives and watching them prosper with each step. He handled each set back with grace and guided with unwavering dedication. Korain was gentle, trusting to a fault, and a silly individual that eased those that wanted to get to know him. Despite his appearance it was hard not to be drawn to him.The Angel came across many different individuals, humans and supernatural alike, but no one rattled him as much as the Sins did. He’d been warned about them, not that he shouldn’t interact, but ideally keeping them at arms lengths. They were the worst type of temptation and it wasn’t hard to fall into their hands. Korain did well in avoiding them, keeping the peace if he ever came across one, but he was bound to crumble at some point. The Guardian thought he had a strong enough will to keep away from temptation, turning away things he thought would cause such a feeling and never indulging.That was until he crossed paths with the Deadly Sin of Gluttony.The first time was an accident. Second time a coincidence. Third time purposefully. He was gorgeous, charming, and oh so convincing. Korain had fooled himself into believing that the Sin was just misguided and maybe, just maybe, he could show him the right path. He really thought he could change the man, use what he had been taught to mold him into someone upstanding. Little did Korain know that he was slowly being pulled under, first dipping his toes into things he knew he shouldn’t be. But he always knew when to pull out, when to cut the string to keep his head clear for what was deemed most important. Unfortunately Gluttony had his nails deeply sunk into the Angel and was not looking to let go anytime soon. He gradually showed Korain his world, using his abilities to have the Guardian indulge in things he normally wouldn’t, sweet talking him. God was he weak for those empty words. And for once Korain craved to be freed of his shackles.The headaches started, his first warning to get back on the path and it shook him enough to yank himself away from the Sin. For a few months Korain got back on track, avoided Gluttony’s advances and kept him at a distance. Though it was short lived and the Guardian found himself right back in the hands of temptation and this time he didn’t fight it. Slowly he was stripped of what he used to be, his precious white wings molting and in their place black feathers made themselves known. Korain doesn’t remember that painful night, his mind on another plane of existence as Gluttony had slipped him something to “ease the transition.” He’d woken up alone and a complete mess, memories of the previous night blank. As the days passed Korain slowly realized he had been played, used until he no longer sparkled. The Sin had come to wreak havoc on him and disappeared without a trace.Empty and numb, Korain spent his time trying to piece himself back together, dabbling in this new life that the Sin had introduced him to. He was no longer bound to anyone and that certainly was an adjustment. Clubs. Drinking. Fights. Bodies. All the things he had learned to keep away from he found himself right in the middle of, drowning until he couldn’t even see the sky anymore.It was late into the night when he was found by his saving grace, thrown out of a bar for punching a bartender square in the nose. She was anything but kind, probing the drunk fallen in the dark alleyway. Of all the places, he thought. Korain had walked away that first night, waving off the witch and mumbling some profanities. He didn’t think he’d see her again, but sure enough each time he found himself in a pinch she was there. Waiting. Watching. It was a slow build up, meeting in the most inconvenient of times until an odd friendship developed between the fallen and the witch. Without him realizing it she had taken him under her wing, unknowingly healing parts of him he hadn’t known needed patching up. Perhaps she had been his first love, the first and the last as nothing good ever lasted in his life. It wasn’t until the end of her lifespan that the fallen had figured out she was slowly dying, the witch having been cursed some time ago. She had spent most of her life trying to find a counter spell, only to figure out the only way to lift it was to find the one that had cursed them and have them remove it.To say he was crushed was an understatement, but the fallen spent the time she had left catering to her. The curse slowly took her sight, Korain having to become her eyes. Then the tremors started until she was rendered imobile and bed bound for the rest of her time, which were weeks. The fallen had taken up her research, desperate to find another way to help her or even locate the one that casted the curse. Of course each lead was met with a dead end.On her final day she had instructed Korain on what to do, telling him of a letter she had written months ago in case this happened and to follow it to completion. She took one breath and then she was gone, leaving the fallen in utter turmoil. It was hours before he could finally stand to leave her side, searching for the letter. In the days to come Korain had found out the witch had been a Master sitting on a complete gold mine and yet she lived out in the woods in a little cottage. She had left everything to him and with a note on how to gain Master status. The next pages were instructions on how to prepare and rid of her body in a proper ceremony. Even though she was gone her body was not safe to be buried, so it had to be cremated…along with her home. The only thing Korain took from the cottage was her purple cloak and diary.It was exactly a year later that the fallen finally figured out what he should do with the money he’d been left with, opening up a bar in her name and making it into a safe place for those that needed it. Being the owner came with perks, but Korain liked being hands on so he can be found either behind the bar or lurking around the lounge area.Currently:Korain has since improved in most aspects of his life. His bar has continued to grow, he is slowly becoming more open to those around him, and he has met someone that he wholeheartedly believes is the one. Though, when it comes to Korain, he shouldn't expect everything to go as planned. In the midst of all of this it seems as if his body is on attack mode. Slowly, the fallen is coming undone with headaches, nosebleeds, and in recent times, vision loss coupled with coughing up blood. He is being diagnosed by Saebyeok, a long time friend of his lover and now friend of his.As this unravels, Korain isn't sure what the future holds or if he'll have one at all.

Astraea hours:
Mon - Fri: 7PM - 6AM
Tues: closed
Sat - Sun: 6:30PM - 6:30AM
7PM - 11PM bar food and cocktails/beers are served
11PM - 6AM full bar is openAstraea meaning star maiden.Unlike most bars, Astraea is centered around providing a safe space for those that want to escape their exhausting lives. Not only is it a place to be social and drink, the establishment offers positions and a place to those that want to get back on their feet. As long as you’re ready to work, put in your best effort, the owner is willing to give anyone a shot in working at his bar. He also offers safety behind the doors. If someone reaches out to him, it’s hard for him to turn down people genuinely seeking help.What makes this bar slightly different is it’s low to nonexistent tolerance for bar fights, harassment, and any form of disturbance that would disrupt the calm flow of things. If you come in with ill intentions, you’d be immediately removed from the premises and added to a ban list. Drunken/tipsy behavior is to be expected and of course patrons can still have their fun and be lively as they desire. This also doesn’t mean that things don’t happen, it’s bound to happen, but they are less likely to do so in Astraea. Those that know the atmosphere of the bar are regulars and those that have heard about the bar carefully tread their way in.Sanctuary aside, Astraea’s bar is centered around the middle, booths lining the wall while tables are spread out on the floor. The other half of the bar has a lounging area for those that would like to mingle a little more or have bigger parties.

Plots, Connections, and Ideas: some might not be fully fleshed out to allow room for alterations. also there aren't any limits in the type of plots i'll take. friendly, casual, angst, enemies. i'm okay with it!!! dark guardian : you used to be one of korain's charges and come across him one day after so long.(1) (1/?) na haneul(slightly altered version) one having the full experience of being guided until he wasn't needed anymore. i don't mind having a few people with this plot, we will just have to throw around some ideas on their re-connection.(2) (0/1) the other happened to be the last charge he ever had, left behind without a word when he fell.!! grime covered floors (1/1) griffin kazimir: the first time you two come across each other is in the alleyway of his bar, drunk off your ass. he ignores you and goes about his night. second time he has to shoo you off the property. third time he caves and invites you to his house because jesus christ do you live in the alleys? you stink and he doesn't want you scaring off potential customers. ( translation: he wants to help but doesn't know how to say it nicely. ) how things unfold can be up for discussion or we can just freely write and see where it goes.!! medicate me (1/1) mason park: right person, wrong time. you both had the unfortunate timing of meeting each other at your lowest, getting together for all the wrong reasons. no relationship formed, but there was something there. korain refused to let it go anywhere, his walls too thick to allow anyone in. but that didn't stop him from forming a soft spot for you, allowing you in whenever you show up at his door. neither of you refuse to let go of whatever this is, somehow always finding your way back to only hurt in the end. but no one ever voices it, you wouldn't dare. doesn't matter the time of day, korain will drop whatever he's doing to answer your call.!! nerves (0/1) : more or less the person that was there to witness all of korain's good and worst times. you were there from the beginning of his fall up until now. you've seen his anger and seen him completely fall apart. to put it simply you are one of the only people that has seen the fallen at his most vulnerable and you are one of the few people that he holds close. you see past the armor and rough personality.note: there is a slight preference if it's someone who has been with korain for a long time, met him a long time ago in a different area while he was still doing his duties as an angel. this gives a bigger importance to the role you have in his life. tho it's not a must!(more to come!)quick ideas that range from simple first meetings to sentence starters:✦ korain's bar is a safe zone. anyone that needs a place to rest, food, or even a job can come find him. he'll go as far as offering protection if it's something within his ability.✦ plots centered around the bar and korain serving your muse is not off limits if you wish to go for a simpler first meeting. or not. bar meeting are not limited to just conversation, your muse is more than welcome to make a scene or be escorted/kicked out. korain is also not phased to finding people in his alley way.
