IC Description:
Moriel Maeng is a male of mixed heritage, though his Korean descent was apparent in his features. He stood at 5’8” with tousled, wavy black hair accompanied by grey eyes. His demeanor had a playful brotherly vibe to it. Despite the absurdity of his ridiculous public stunts, he always wore a confident smile through them. A long faded scar ran down his left leg due to a previous encounter.
Personality:
He is outgoing, typically fearless of public opinions of himself, and an overall eccentric goofball. His demeanor sports a playful, competitive, and mischievous nature. Moreso, he is a brother and a caretaker. He sympathizes easily and worries quickly. He took a vow to himself to keep his family safe, and he holds himself true to that. The stern critical older brother in him comes out when he feels that those he cares about are putting themselves at risk.
Flaws:
Moriel is insecure about his ability as a provider. Its a role he had to adopt for his family yet he had no guidance available. He consistently worries about whether he's doing things "right".
Moriel usually consistently convinces himself that any tragedies, especially involving those he cares about, that he fails to resolve is "his fault".
He's a guy that tries to fix more than he can.

Backstory of the Maengs: |
|---|
| Context - Malori, Moriel, Shira, Mylo, Ahri, and Fae are siblings, with Fae being adopted. - Ryuji is a cousin of the listed above, who's mother (So-yi Maeng) is the sister of their father. - These characters were born in Busan, South Korea. - Their father, Won-Shik Maeng, is a full Korean man originating from Busan. - Their mother, Lucy Rosemary Maeng, is an immigrated Korean-mixed woman. - Lucy was the primary influencer of naming these children, explaining why said names aren't traditionally Korean. |
| Busan to Karakura Transition Won-Shik and Lucy pursue economic opportunity in Karakura. Additionally, they hear about the prestigious school known as Karakura High School/CC. The two parents are unsure about migrating the entire family, as there is uncertainty in their future with Karakura, so they appoint two to "test the waters": Moriel Maeng and Malori Maeng arrive in Karakura first amongst the siblings. Meanwhile, Shira, Mylo, Ahri, and Fae begin to live beside their cousin, Ryuji, under their aunt, So-yi. Meanwhile, Shira is infuriated. She feels left behind and abandoned, having had her parents and two siblings move away. She demands to join them in Karakura. Ryuji and Shira are very close, and Ryuji refuses to let her go by herself. Henceforth, Shira and Ryuji move to Karakura. |
| 2020 Fast-forward, Won-Shik and Lucy decide that they do not appreciate work in Karakura. However, they have developed a fondness for Karakura High School. They decide that it is best that Malori, Moriel, Ryuji, and Shira stay in Karakura: Malori and Moriel have become acquainted with the LeClair by then, and they volunteer to take the two under their wing. LeClair is a French family, and Moriel and Malori pick up French as a language because of it. Shira and Ryuji are meanwhile housed in an apartment receiving financial support from Won-Shik, Lucy, and So-yi. The Maeng parents return home to resume taking care of Mylo, Ahri and Fae in Busan. When Moriel graduates, Moriel and Malori decide to part ways with the LeClair family in pursuit of a more independent life. Moriel becomes the primary caretaker of his siblings: Moriel, Malori, Shira, and Ryuji all now reside together in an apartment. |
| 2023 Moriel, Malori, Shira, and Ryuji have been doing well in Karakura so far. The parents deem that they have proved to be self-sufficient enough. So when Mylo, Ahri, and Fae, wish to join their siblings in Karakura, Won-Shik and Lucy accept. After bouncing around residences, they finally settle at the current house where they are now. Jeong-won, uncle of the siblings and brother of Won-Shik, eventually moves to Karakura too, feeling that the Maengs could use some support. |

FAMILY
Format: Character Name "Moriel's internal reflection on that family member." Fun little "tags" or inside jokes that Moriel shares with the character Character played by Username |
Malori Maeng "Malori moved to Karakura first with me. She's a bit of a shop-aholic to say the least and can get emotional at times. We've been through almost everything together. For a good chunk of our time here in Karakura, we shared almost everything: The same friends, the same living space, the same everything. I remember that girl she was head over heels for. Practically face-planted at that point. Oh man, that brings back memories." Siblings, Yeehawians, Ghost Hunters Character played by nookmxles | Shira Maeng "She’s all bark no bite. Just… A lot of emphasis on the bark. She doesn’t mean what she says most of the time. We’re still working on that temper. I'm proud of her for opening up a bit, but that stoic facade is impossible to tear down. Part of her is trying to get better, I can see it. She has some good influences in her life: Ava, Nahla, Machiko. I'm thankful that they can be there for her when she stubbornly blocks her siblings out." Siblings, "Shi Shi", Plushie Hoarder Character played by sunsetchills (me) |
Ryuji Maeng "Oh man, Jiji flirts with dudes left and right. He's got that same thing as Shira where they are both nitpicky about their hair. I wonder if it's genetic. We have to work on that cigarette addiction. I don't know if I'll get through to him, but something tells me Shira can. He seems to stick with Shira the most out of the family." Cousins Character played by nookmxles | Mylo Maeng "My brother is always bouncing off the walls. He’s emotionally attached to that Spider-Man costume of his. It’s always a struggle to get it in the wash. He gets along with the other kids his age, but I always have to keep an eye on him on the off-chance he gets himself into trouble. I made myself a promise to do my best in making sure he doesn't lose that smile. Get too close and he'll lunge at you!" Siblings, Spider-Man?, Council of Brothers Character played by nookmxles |
Ahri Maeng "Ahri tends to hide parts of her life from me, as siblings do. I try to reason with her regarding her aggressive and alcoholic habits, but lately my attempts haven't been working. She makes an effort to stay connected with our family, and that makes me happy. Sometimes she expresses that she's embarrassed to be related to me, but let it be known that I'm super proud to be related to her!" Siblings, Grounded BeReals, MORZARELLA Member Character played by strcssed | Fae Rouzet Maeng "He’s very quiet and timid. It takes him a bit to get comfortable. He likes plushies and you can imagine the dynamic with Shira who has a whole stash of them. Of course, she eventually lets him borrow them. I've learned that it's best to try to keep Fae comfortable by avoiding putting the spotlight on him. It makes him anxious, and as his brother, it's my job to avoid that. Fun Fact, that kid packs muscle!" Siblings, Council of Brothers, Plushie Hoarder Character played by yewovv |
Khoa Tang-Maeng "We were good friends before we realized we were related. He's an innocent soul at heart, and that's quite the rare find in a town like this. He's got quite the appetite and is miraculously unphased by literally any portion size. I want to test that stomach to its limit. For science, of course." Strangers, MORZARELLA Member, Cousins, "BROTHERS" Character played by _KrissCross_ | Ioane Y. Sasaki-Maeng "He's always knocking on trouble's door and it worries me to death. He lost his memory recently after suffering a terrible injury. I really hope it's not permanent. It hurts a little to know that all of our shared memories are just... Gone. Like when we went around the school doing those TikTok challenges for the fun of it. Good times..." Double It Challenge, Cousins, "BROTHERS" Character played by koainoa |
Jeong-Won Maeng "He flew from Busan recently to come join us. He's quite... Unfamiliar... With today's youth and trends. It's kind of funny, but he's trying his best. Kudos for that! Stay hydrated, as he'd say." Uncle, MORZARELLA Member Character played by distrcssed (strcssed) | Hayami Maeng "Rebellious at times but good spirited! She gets along with my good friend Sid due to their common interest of swimming. Birds of feather- Or, fish of a scale swim together...? Sure, something like that. Sometimes she dresses me up with fashion choices that are rather debatable. But a good brother wears it proudly! I think." MORZARELLA Member, Cousins Character played by GreenWitchLys |

TRIVIA
MORIEL'S GHOST ENCOUNTER
Back in 2020 SRP, there was a ghost event in Itsbyoshi forest and it was OOC knowledge that it was a "Danger Zone" (as in entering the area allowed your characters to die). To imitate ghost possession, the server had a plug-in at the time that would "hi-jack" your character that allowed the staff/event team to make them move and speak.
Moriel Maeng & Malori Maeng enter the forest. Moriel and Malori are walking around when suddenly, Moriel can't move. Moriel suddenly starts walking away from his sister, and tries to hastily explain what is happening to him. There is a conflict in the words coming out of his mouth, as both he and the ghost are speaking. As far as I can remember, it was back and forth somewhat along the lines of:
Moriel: I can't move.
Ghost: It hurts.
Moriel: Help.
Ghost: It hurts so much.
Moriel: Run. (His desperate attempt to get her to flee to safety as he walked away.)
Malori watches as Moriel scales an abandoned run-down cabin. He stands at the edge of the roof. The ghost speaks through Moriel again, expressing its pain once more as Moriel takes the leap. Malori watches as Moriel plummets to the floor. Moriel loses consciousness.
OOCly, I was given the choice by SRP staff to allow me to either kill or keep the character. I chose to keep him alive but gave him a giant scar on his leg.
Moriel remembers the actions of this event in vivid memory, as he recalls meeting the eyes of his sister as he involuntarily jumped to his death. He never conceived the idea of losing it all just like that. He was fearful, and even more, he was terrified as he felt that agreeing to venture into the forest would cost the life of his sister too. All this plagued his mind as he silently accepted that it was the end.
