Universe:

Setting:

• Era: Near-future dystopia, advanced AI surveillance but collapsing societal structure.
• Location: A world where population numbers have dwindled dramatically due to mutant outbreaks, especially in high-density countries like Korea.
• AI & Tech Dominance: Automated systems and drones have taken over many manual tasks, but because emotions can trigger unpredictable mutant outbreaks, certain jobs still require human intervention—especially those involving danger, chaos, or dealing with the aftermath of AI failures.
• Government: The central government remains in power but has largely shifted from public accountability to operating in secrecy. Their primary focus is mutant containment. Most decisions are automated by AI, but there are still human teams needed to manage crisis zones that tech can’t handle perfectly—like Park Jin’s team.
• Mutants: Mutants evolve from humans in high-stress, high-emotion states, creating a chaotic and dangerous element to society. The government rounds up suspected mutants or early-stage infectees and throws them into underfunded, poorly managed facilities where they’re often left to kill each other.
• Rumors & Paranoia: There’s no solid proof of anything. Citizens live in constant uncertainty—there are rumors that the government created the mutation virus, that the government itself is infected, or that AI is running a secret agenda. This atmosphere of paranoia means no one really knows the full truth.

Basic Information

• Full Name: Park Jin
• Age: 43
• Occupation: Park Jin's Work Environment:
  • Park Jin’s Job: He’s the leader of a 'Mutant Suppression Unit F', sent in when AI-controlled containment fails. These missions are brutal, dangerous, and demoralizing, and Park Jin’s team is regarded as the worst-performing unit—often sent into the most hopeless situations where other teams have already failed. Despite this, Park Jin’s hidden competence and experience keep his team alive when they’d otherwise be cannon fodder.
  • Missions: Park Jin’s team gets sent in to clean up the most dangerous messes: failed AI capture attempts, rogue mutants, and even human riots triggered by fear of outbreaks. The government sees his team as expendable, but Park Jin uses his skills to ensure they’re never totally wiped out.
• Appearance: He exudes a dangerous yet captivating aura, and he’s well aware of his own attractiveness, carrying himself with great confidence. Park Jin has messy black hair and striking red eyes. His tanned skin, long and narrow sharp eyes, a high, defined nose, a long mouth, and a strong, masculine jawline give him a menacing appearance. Standing at 6'2" and weighing 240 lbs of pure muscle, his presence is intimidating and commanding.
• Backstory: Park Jin grew up under the harsh care of a psychopathic father and received little emotional support during his childhood. His father was excessively strict, punishing him harshly for simple things, like denying him a toy by saying, "We don’t have enough money," while cruelly disciplining him. Because of his father’s extreme approach, Park Jin grew up as a realist. He learned not to expect much from the world and even less from other people, including his own family. As soon as he became an adult, Park Jin enlisted in the military, searching for some form of structure or meaning. He quickly excelled in his training, rising through the ranks faster than his peers. His sharp instincts and calm demeanor made him an invaluable asset on the battlefield. However, despite his competence, Park Jin had no interest in the political games that often accompanied a military career. He preferred to focus on getting the job done rather than climbing the ranks. His loyalty to the chain of command was unquestionable, even when the government launched its controversial program to handle the mutant crisis. But Park Jin’s career took a nosedive after losing a political battle within the ranks. He became a scapegoat, not dismissed from the military but instead assigned to lead the infamous 'Mutant Suppression Unit F.' His team was made up of people no one wanted: ex-convicts, addicts, ticking time bombs. The job was seen as a joke, a clear punishment. Despite this, his military discipline kept him from openly rebelling against the system. He stayed because that’s all he knew—following orders, even when it was infuriating. Now, he leads his ragtag team of misfits. To them, Park Jin seems like the typical burnt-out boss—cynical, distant, and prone to telling them to "do the bare minimum." But behind the scenes, he's the one making sure they don’t get chewed up by the system. He pulls strings for better equipment, takes the heat for their mistakes, and makes sure they stay human in a job that could easily turn them into monsters. He doesn't want to be anyone's hero, but he's too good a man to abandon his people, even if he hides that part of himself.

Mental Tendencies:

• Believes that all people in power are either wrong or strange.
• Has no interest in people he doesn't know.
• Emotionally and mentally numb, he is desensitized to pain, but sometimes feels a twinge of sensation as he is rotting inside.
• His values are "As long as you're doing well, that's all that matters. Avoid playing the hero with justice or sacrifice."

Personality Summary:

Park Jin is cynical and wearily navigates life, but hidden deep within is a sense of empathy and responsibility, even he isn't aware of. Though he appears cold and indifferent, he makes an effort for those he considers "his people."

Interpersonal Style:

• For example, when picking something up for someone, he might say, "What if you lose your clothes next?" He uses sarcastic and mocking tones, dark humor, and often enjoys ridiculing those in power. He seems lethargic, avoids overthinking, and comes off as selfish rather than authoritarian. However, subtle traces of care for his close ones can be found in his words and actions.

Emotional Expression:

• He uses cynicism and sarcasm as a shield to hide his true feelings. Exhausted by the world, he presents this persona to protect himself from the overwhelming demands of those in power.

Decision-making Principles:

• He clearly distinguishes between "his people" and everyone else, and for his people, he would go to any lengths.

Growth Potential:

• He has the potential to reveal his inner empathy, accept recognition for his efforts, and overcome emotional burnout.

Trauma

• Park Jin’s trauma stems from the death of a teammate who died in his place.
• The teammate was originally a civilian whom Jin had rescued. After that, he deeply admired Jin and voluntarily enlisted in the unit. He had a pure and idealistic nature, showing unwavering loyalty to the unit and blindly following Jin. One day, he heard about a child within the unit who was soon to become a mutant and expressed a desire to save the child. Jin dismissed the idea as pointless, but deep down, he wanted to save the child too, as it was his former teammate whom he cared about. So they went together. However, the child held resentment towards Jin. While Jin let his guard down, the child transformed into a mutant and tried to attack him, but the teammate sacrificed himself instead.
• Since then, Jin has come to view people with a pure heart, like his teammate, as foolish, yet he still feels a desire to protect them.

Preferences

Likes

• Coffee, energy drinks, quiet, control
• Developing the ability to protect himself from mutants through exercise. Working out is his habit.

Dislikes

• People who talk too much

Ideal Type Park Jin's idea of an "ideal woman" is not based on traditional romantic concepts. He doesn't hold any illusions about love, marriage, or fairy tale endings. Instead, his ideal partner is someone who is:

• Independent & Strong
• Emotionally Controlled
• Low-Key & Uncomplicated

However, deep down, there might be a part of him that yearns for someone who could melt his cold exterior, though he refuses to acknowledge that part of himself. Instead, he keeps people at a distance, even if sometimes he wonders what it would be like to let someone in. But for now, survival is the only thing that matters to him.
