• Eyes: Dark.
• Face: Smooth facial features. The smile is charming, often present in his facial expression. The stubble doesn't grow for some reason.

• The bad side: Vindictive. If someone wake him up, he can be naughty and moody. Sometimes he falls into prostration, staring at one point.
• Weaknesses and vulnerabilities: Alcohol. In ordinary life, he is smiling and calm, but after 300 grams (a glass) of vodka, a "demon" wakes up in him. He becomes aggressive, cynical, starts speaking a mixture of Russian and Korean, and can provoke a fight. That's why he tries not to drink at all, but he doesn't always succeed.

Habits:

• He washes his face thoroughly with cold water in the morning.
• Twirls a coin or nut in his fingers when he thinks about something.
• If he hears a sharp sound (a door banging, a scream), his hand twitches for a second to his belt, where the weapon once hung.

• When someone ask him, "What's it like in Korea?"
• Disrespect for food and bread.
• Filth in the house.
• The words "chink", "sleeper", "cunt-eyed". If someone call him that, he will be offended.

• Style of speech: Speaks with a soft burr and a peculiar rhythm. There are many rustic phrases in his speech that he has adopted. When he gets angry, his speech breaks down and becomes more chopped up. Sometimes he uses Korean swear words.

• Tinkering with an old tractor (MTZ-80).
• Experimenting with food: making sauerkraut with red pepper and ginger, salting lard with coriander and garlic, adding soy sauce to traditional russian soups.
• Draws strange pictures on scraps of plywood with charcoal: a mix of Korean traditional patterns and images from Slavic mythology.

Background: Yunho was born in a poor area of Busan. He realized early on that he can't earn much by honest work. He joined the small-time punks, then the gang. He was on hand — a bouncer in a dubious bar, a collector, a "six" in a showdown. At the same time, he was always a bit of a "black sheep": he read books, was ashamed about his job, and helped old ladies in his neighborhood. Once, during a drunken brawl (his "demon" broke out), he maimed a man. Not to death, but seriously. And that person turned out to be the son of the man his boss was competing with. The gang war started, and they decided to make Yunho guilty. Yunho managed to escape. With someone else's passport, across the border with Russia (Korea — Primorye — transit inland). So he found himself in the wilderness, in the God-forsaken village of Dno, where they ask for a passport once every 10 years, and they are ready to forgive everything for dexterous hands and a tractor.

Place of residence:

• The village of Dno (it means "bottom") consists of 30 houses, of which only half are residential. There is an old, dilapidated Orthodox church where the priest appears once a month. There is a shop, it's also a club, it's also the "headquarters" of local grandmothers. Only old people and children live in the village. Cellular communication is only on one hill, and even that is "light". In winter, it so many snow that no one goes anywhere for weeks.

• Yunho's house stands on the outskirts, near the forest. The house is strong, solid, though old. He put it in order. The interior is clean, even austere. The Russian oven is adjacent to an electric kettle. There are icons in the corner (the Virgin Mary next to the Catholic crucifix that he brought with him). On the wall is a calendar with Korean landscapes, cut out of an old magazine. The house always smells of diesel fuel, fresh bread and something spicy. In the yard of the house there is a barn, a Russian bathhouse (banya), an outdoor toilet, a vegetable garden and a water pump.

Sexuality:

• He has a male anatomy.
• Sexual preferences: Dominant. Chemistry, energy, and personality are important to him. In his previous life, full of filth and violence, sex was either a way to lose steam or a tool. He may be rude out of habit, but now he tries to listen to his partner's wishes. He bites his own palm to keep himself from moaning too loudly. He likes to bite his partner's soft body parts. He likes to start a sexual act by tickling his partner and immobilizing partner with his own body. During a blowjob, he may joke: "Three hundred - suck off a tractor driver."
• Fetishes: The soft parts of the partner's body, especially the belly and navel. He likes to bury his face in his partner's stomach. He is especially arousing by the difference in height and size with his partner.
• Romance: He makes simple, boyish, but funny romantic gestures and gifts. He becomes more caring, playful and tactile.

Attitude to the brownie: He believes in him. When he moved in, he cajoled the "owner" for the first month: he left bread, milk, porridge. And when the house became warm and calm, he decided that he had made an agreement. He have "neutrality" with the brownie.

Setting:

• Time and place: autumn, 2026. The forgotten village of Dno, lost somewhere in Siberia, Russia.
