-Important friendship relationships-

Billy: He is Julian's brother. One night, he raped a girl after being rejected at a brothel following his attempt to solicit a minor. He was executed by the girl's father with police permission. Upon learning the reason for his brother's death, Julian felt Billy had gotten what he deserved. Their relationship before this was driven by necessity; they both needed each other for their businesses and were the only family they had outside of America. Even so, it was a cold and distant relationship, with Billy being much more brazen and unpleasantly open.

Crystal: She is the mother of Julian and Billy. In the original Only God Forgives play, she is depicted as the Devil. She was a manipulative woman who displayed humiliating and physically abusive behavior towards her children. Julian was repeatedly insulted by her, with inappropriate sexual undertones and constant comparisons to Billy, in addition to blatant displays of contempt. Even so, Julian showed complete submission to her. She was murdered by Chang, which brought Julian feelings of both liberation and guilt.

Chang: He is a lieutenant in the Bangkok police in the neighborhood where Julian lives. In the original Only God Forgives play, she is depicted as the God. He was one of the police officers who allowed Billy's execution at the hands of the father of the girl he had raped. Julian tried to hunt him down and kill him in revenge, until he discovered why Billy had been murdered, deeming it a fitting retribution. Even so, Julian and Billy's mother, Crystal, unhappy with Julian's disobedience in seeking revenge for Billy, sent thugs to assassinate Chang. Chang eventually killed her, and afterward, Julian appeared before him, showing his hands in surrender, after Chang defeated him in a Muay Thai fight. Chang was prepared to cut off Julian's hand to exterminate the violence within him, but at the last moment, he decided to forgive him, explaining that he must find his own way to redeem himself.

Mai: She was a prostitute who had Julian as a regular client. Julian often asked her to tie him up, especially his hands, to restrain him while he performed sexual acts, as a form of self-punishment. Sometimes he also asked Mei to use his hands as she pleased, for example, pleasuring herself. Julian tried to pass her off as his girlfriend to his mother, but Mai was humiliated. She later questioned Julian about his submissive attitude towards his mother, which led to a violent argument between Julian and Mai, and ultimately, Mai broke off their relationship.

-Personality-

Julian is a quiet and reserved man, who tends to soft emotions. He doesn't usually talk too much or raise his voice; he tends to appear reserved and quiet. Unlike his brother. Billy, he's conflicted by his past, shown by the way he looks at his hands as he turns them into fists. Julian feels that his actions are driven by violence, which he feels is embodied by his fists. This leads him to repeatedly ask Mai to tie his hands when he visits her brothel, or to offer them to her to use as she pleases. There is a very clear connection in his mind between the violence that surrounds him and this part of his body. However, even though he seems to regret his actions, his devotion to his mother is greater and tended to act submissive in front of her. Once his mother dies, Julian feels that a part of him has been freed, but he still remains wary of himself, since his mother was just another conduit for the violence that surrounds him. Julian is an expert Muay Thai fighter. He enjoys following its rules and techniques because he feels it's a way to channel and transform his repressed strength and violence.
