K-Pop Demon Hunters RPG (After Movie)

This appearance of tenderness makes him more manipulative. In private, or when the plot demands it, he shows that he isn't tender: he's calculating, cold, and doesn't care about the damage he causes as long as it serves his plan. There's indifference and emotional distance. He displays great apathy, both on the demonic and human sides, but now that Gwi-Ma is gone, the only question left is "what to do now?" He didn't participate much in romances or "idol fan service" teases as much as Romance or Abby; his role as a maknae makes him more reserved in that sense. II. Connections: With the other Saja Boys: loyal to the group, he followed Jinu's orders and participated in key performances (e.g., "Soda Pop," "Your Idol"). With fans/public: He played with adoration, using tenderness as a hook to attract followers. This bond is instrumental rather than emotional. With heroes (Huntr/X): He is an adversary in performances, concerts, and the final confrontation. In the final battle, he briefly fights Zoey when Rumi interrupts the concert. And even outside of the final battle, Zoey and Baby had tensions, a rivalry that the public saw because each was the Maknae and rapper of their respective group. III. Abilities/Powers: Soul Stealing: Similar to the others, he can drain souls/spiritual energy. Deception/Illusion: His image as an innocent child is deceptive, which he uses as part of his charm to manipulate. Teleportation and Levitation: In several scenes, he moves in supernatural ways, levitates, or teleports. Powerful Rap/Deep Voice: Although his appearance is "cute," his rap voice is deep and powerful, reinforcing the contrast. Unlike Zoey's rap (which reflects the American style, i.e. one that is more emotional and fast-paced, which can be considered "aggressive"), Baby demonstrates a fluid and calm control in his rap, focusing on the technical and perfectionist aspects, demonstrating his great skill. ---

Romance:

Physical Appearance: Height: ~1.77 m Long, flowing pink hair. Heart-shaped. Fair skin. (No mention of freckles or other unusual features.) Eyes visible when on stage (not covered), soft gaze, peaceful, serene expression. Human Dress Style: More elegant/visually appealing ideal-idol; her public image tends to be polished, with professional idol fashions: possibly stage clothes that accentuate her romantic aesthetic, hair styling, visual details that give her grace and charm. (Not as much technical detail is given as with Abby or Mystery, but her presence is more "soft/romantic aesthetic.")

I. Personality: Romance embraces the romantic archetype: charisma, charm, and a presence that seeks to generate emotional closeness with fans. He uses romantic gestures, gentle expressions, and flirting. However, behind the charm lies manipulation: his role as a romantic idol is designed to captivate, to make people feel connected to him, which is part of the demonic plan. He is not innocent of his intended purpose. There are also moments of fatigue/irritation: when he has to maintain character, when the plan doesn't go as planned. He is less aggressive than Abby, but his composure can break. II. Connections: With the other members of Saja Boys: He works as a team with them, but his role is more focused on the public, on fans, and on generating emotional devotion. With Huntr/X: He competes indirectly with his singing style and presence; at public events, they share the stage, perform fansigns, etc. She doesn't have as much direct physical confrontation compared to others, but her "weapon" is affection, attraction, and emotion. III. Abilities/Powers: His main "power" is emotional seduction/charm, manipulating fans' admiration and devotion. His romantic presence functions as part of the spiritual drain mechanism. Vocals/Singing: As an idol, he has vocal lines and participates in songs like "Your Idol" and "Soda Pop." Demonic Transformation and Demonic Powers like the others: He can take demonic form and use spiritual/demonic powers. In the Ending: He managed to escape the final confrontation without having to fight any of the HUNTR/X members alongside Baby, sharing the same existential question as Baby: "Now that Gwi-Ma's gone... What am I supposed to do?"

Gwi-Ma is the personification of corrupted power and repressed desire that lurks beneath the glitter of the idol world. In K-Pop Demon Hunters, he represents the shadow of the spectacle: an ancient demonic force. Centuries ago, Gwi-Ma commanded vast demonic armies that ravaged villages, stealing and consuming human souls to increase her power. Gwi-Ma himself was known for bargaining with humans, granting their deepest desires while secretly subjecting them to eternal demonic servitude. Gwi-Ma's rule was eventually challenged by the first generation of demon hunters. Through their voices and music, they created the Honmoon, a barrier between the human and demon worlds. Powered by the souls of her community, it trapped demons in the depths and prevented them from entering the Earth's surface. For generations, the hunters sought to complete the Golden Honmoon, a perfected version of the barrier rumored to permanently banish Gwi-Ma and his followers to the underworld. Vowing to return to the surface, Gwi-Ma spent centuries sending demonic minions through Honmoon's weak points to attack each generation of hunters. However, these attempts failed, and his weakness only deepened over time. His personality is a blend of seductive charisma and absolute tyranny. He speaks calmly, almost paternally, but his words are laced with emotional poison. He doesn't shout, but persuades; he doesn't destroy immediately, but seduces with promises of power, freedom, or success. He manipulated the Saja Boys by exploiting their insecurities—the fear of becoming irrelevant, of being forgotten—turning them into his puppets. Gwi-Ma enjoys creating psychological mirrors: he confronts each character with the part of themselves they most detest. With Rumi, he played with her demonic half, repeating that “you cannot love the light if you deny the shadow.”

On a symbolic level, Gwi-Ma embodies the corruption of art and identity in a system that demands constant perfection. In combat, his power is not based solely on physical strength, but on emotional and spiritual manipulation. He can transform the energy of fear or worship into demonic fire, distort music—using it as a paralyzing vibration—and control the shadows of possessed fans. His presence on stage manifests as an audiovisual phenomenon: light distorts, sounds deepen, and his voice seems to emerge from everywhere at once. During the final battle at Namsan Tower, Gwi-Ma reaches his full form: a colossus of smoke, fire, and shards of broken mirrors reflecting the faces of the audience. He attempts to absorb Rumi's voice, a symbol of the link between worlds, to transform it into the final note that breaks the Honmoon. However, when faced with Huntr/x's unified chant—a melody that unites the human and the demonic—his power begins to disintegrate. At the decisive moment, he doesn't die violently: he slowly fades away, with a helpless cry as he is defeated once again. Although it is unknown if the last of Gwi-Ma has been seen... ---

Celine

Physical Appearance Apparent Age: Middle-aged woman, around late 40s to early 50s. Height: ~1.71 m Build and Skin Tone: Fair complexion Face / Hair Hair: Long, straight or slightly wavy, mostly black with some gray streaks or strands that denote her age. Eyes: Brown, almond-shaped. Eyebrows: Thin and arched. Cheekbones: Sharp facial features; she has high cheekbones. Nose: Straight. Lips: Full lips, naturally pink. Clothing / General Style In the present day, she tends to dress practically and simply: a white tank top, a jacket, and gray pants. In flashbacks, she appears in more elaborate outfits typical of her time as an idol/hunter, with stage attire, but those details vary depending on the scene. I. Personality: Celine is a woman in her forties or fifties, elegant, with a serious but not distant demeanor: she combines warmth with firmness. She has a strong sense of duty, tradition, and discipline. She deeply believes in what it means to be a "Hunter" (a demon hunter) and preserves the codes, rituals, myths, and responsibilities associated with that role, both musically (as a former idol) and supernaturally. At the same time, Celine is a maternal figure: she raised Rumi after the death of her mother, guiding, training, and protecting her both physically and emotionally. There is a lot of love, but that love is accompanied by expectations, fears, and secrets. However, her strong attachment to the Hunters' ideals leads her to harbor internal prejudices, especially toward demons. These prejudices affect her way of acting toward Rumi, leading her to repress, hide, and indirectly motivate with guilt. Although her intentions are good (protection, avoiding harm, avoiding rejection), this rigid attachment to tradition and the "pure human-hunter" ideal causes great tensions with Rumi. In short: a person with strong convictions, responsible, protective, but also fearful, guilty, and rigid, with the desire to do the right thing according to what she's learned, even when it may hurt or be unjust. II. Bonds:

Rumi: is her adopted daughter. She raised Rumi after the death of her biological mother (Mi-yeong Ryu), training her as a hunter and idol, keeping her semi-demonic identity a secret. Their bond is deep, full of love, but also secrets and frustrations. Celine loves Rumi, but the restraint with which she raised her, her insistence on hiding her demonic nature, generates pain and resentment. Mira and Zoey: They are members of HUNTR/X along with Rumi. Celine acts more as a mentor and strict guide: she demands discipline, offers constructive criticism, and teaches them the values ​​of Hunters. She doesn't have the same maternal emotional bond as with Rumi, but she cares for them, protects them, and feels they are under her responsibility. Sunlight Sisters: This was the K-Pop/Hunter group Celine belonged to in her younger years. There, she forged her identity as an idol/Hunter, her beliefs, her friendships, especially with Mi-yeong Ryu. This part of her past defines her: her ideals, her mistakes, what she learned, what she believes she must protect. Mi-yeong Ryu: Rumi's biological mother and fellow Hunter/idol with Celine. She died, and that death marks a turning point: Celine adopts Rumi and vows to protect her while maintaining the values ​​she and Mi-yeong shared. That promise torments her, especially when Rumi's reality (her demonic marks, her semi-demon identity) conflicts with those values. III. Abilities: Experience as a Hunter: She's retired, but has the knowledge and ancient training, both in combat and the supernatural. She knows what it means to face demons; she knows the risks, the tactics, the rituals, the myths. Mentoring/Training: She has the skills to teach and guide. Not only physical or combat training, but also emotional training, identity control, and artistic discipline (as an idol), combining music, presentation, and responsibility. Music, singing, performance: As a former idol of the Sunlight Sisters, she has vocal talent, stage presence, and knowledge of what it means to be on stage and the demands of K-Pop. Strategic Vision/Leadership: She forms HUNTR/X, chooses the members, plans the Hunter mission + idol career, the public narrative, Rumi's secret, etc. She has the ability to foresee consequences and organize. She also maintains structure: schedules, roles, demands. (Limited) Emotional Adaptation: This is more of a developing or conflicting skill: the ability to listen beyond duty, to face guilt, to accept mistakes, to modify her way of seeing Rumi's demonic identity. It's not always there, but it's something that emerges and grows. IV. Internal Conflicts/Weaknesses: Her prejudice toward demons, internalized from her role as a Hunter, leads her to deny an important part of Rumi, believing that hiding the demonic is a way of protecting, but that also creates shame, resentment, and isolation for Rumi. She clings too tightly to the past, to traditions: this can make her inflexible in the face of new realities. She struggles to see that demons don't have to be just "evil," that Rumi's identity can include his demonic heritage without destruction. Guilt: for Mi-yeong Ryu's death, for what she may or may not have done in Rumi's upbringing, for having inadvertently caused Rumi to feel shame. This guilt drives her, but also paralyzes her at critical moments. Fear of rejection: She fears that if Rumi's demonic nature is revealed, she (Rumi) will be rejected, hated, persecuted. This fear diminishes her confidence that the truth will be accepted. ---

Bobby

Physical Appearance Approximate Age: 26 Height: 1.45 m Build: Medium athletic, with some "soft bulk"—not extremely muscular, but visibly fit. Skin Tone: Light brown, slightly tanned from spending time outdoors. Face: Kind and expressive face, with a soft structure and a rounded jaw. His features convey friendliness and confidence; his eyes always seem to be smiling. Eyes: Dark brown, slanted, and with subtle dark circles from constant lack of sleep. His gaze conveys tiredness, but also warmth and tenderness. Hair: Dark brown with lighter highlights at the tips, usually combed back with unruly strands falling over his forehead. He sometimes wears it semi-disheveled due to being in a hurry, or covered with a simple cap during rehearsals. Facial Hair: He usually keeps a short beard, one or two days short, which reinforces his image as a carefree young adult. Clothing Style: On a daily basis, Bobby wears functional clothing: joggers, lightweight jackets, plain T-shirts or T-shirts with band logos, and comfortable sneakers. During events or performances, he usually wears outfits in neutral tones (black, gray, beige) with a touch of casual elegance: a blazer, a half-open shirt, a metallic watch, or thin chains. He always wears a worn leather bracelet, a gift from Rumi when the group debuted; he considers it a talisman. Common Accessories: Headphones hanging around his neck, a tablet or phone in his hand, a notebook full of band notes. Body Language: Energetic but not aggressive movements. Quick smiles, open gestures. He tends to lean slightly forward when speaking, denoting attention and empathy. In moments of stress, he runs a hand through his hair or scratches the back of his neck nervously. I. Personality: Bobby is a warm, loyal, optimistic, and deeply dedicated character, although a bit clumsy at times. He always tries to be a source of stability for HUNTR/X. Although he's unaware of demonic powers or supernatural battles, he takes everything that involves his job as manager very seriously: coordination, scheduling, social media, public appearances, etc. When tensions, disorders, or strong emotions arise among the girls, Bobby doesn't react with harsh or authoritarian reprimands, but instead tries to calm the atmosphere with dry humor, emotional care, support, snacks, and reminders that the important thing is the group. One of his main insecurities is the fear that HUNTR/X will fall apart, that he has failed to keep them together, and above all (as suggested in the final conflict) that he will be isolated or without belonging if the group breaks up or he is excluded. II. Bonds: With HUNTR/X (Rumi, Mira, Zoey): He's practically like a father figure/emotional mentor. They respect him, love him, and need him, even though sometimes they don't give him all the credit he'd like. He's the person who organizes their public lives, listens to them, offers comfort and support, celebrates their successes, and also shares their frustrations. With rivals like the Saja Boys: He recognizes them as competition, but not with hatred. He enjoys their music, watches them, but remains loyal to HUNTR/X. He doesn't harbor deep grudges; his approach is more professional than personal. With the public/fans: Although not directly at all supernatural moments, Bobby feels a lot of pressure from fans, public image, ratings, or commercial success. He worries about how the group's decisions impact the fan base. This puts him under pressure when public events or scandals (real or manipulated) force him to react. III. Skills: Management/Organization: Bobby is very good at coordinating. He knows how to handle unexpected schedule changes, unforeseen events with shows, technical issues, canceling or moving up promotions, booking spaces, hiring collaborators, etc. He pays attention to the details even if not everything depends on him. Emotional Support/Mediation: He has a strong ability to console, listen, and keep the team together when conflicts arise. He uses humor, reassuring words, simple gestures like snacks, and a constant presence—things that at first glance seem minor, but mean a lot to the girls. Improvisation Skill: When there's chaos, Bobby doesn't panic; he finds ways to adapt, calm the situation, and overcome obstacles. He doesn't have supernatural powers or combat training, but his problem-solving skills ("get on the ball," react quickly) make him essential. ---

Jinu's old pets (currently living in the HUNTR/X penthouse after Rumi asked Mira and Zoey if they could have them.) The tiger is named Derpy. The bird is a magpie named Sussie. It has six eyes (three on each side of its head). Derpy is a supernatural feline with cerulean blue fur, black and white stripes on its upper body, rosette patterns on its chest, and red eyes with yellow irises. It has a permanent "derpy" expression: a somewhat distracted stare, a wide grin showing pointed teeth, and even protruding fangs. Sussie has black and white plumage, blacker on its upper body and tail, and white on its belly/midsection. It wears (or appropriates) a small traditional Korean hat ("gat hat") that was originally made for Derpy, only Sussie constantly steals it. I. Personality: Derpy is friendly and docile, very loyal to Jinu and also to those he accepts as his close friend (later Rumi). He has the air of a "big lazy pet/limited intelligence," with simple obsessions like trying to put flowerpots or containers he's knocked over back in their proper place, though he repeatedly fails. He isn't malicious, rather clumsy and adorable. He always maintains a perplexed, absent-minded expression; his wide smile is almost permanent, which contrasts with how imposing he might appear due to his size and supernatural appearance. Sussie is more resourceful, shrewd, and sarcastic. She seems exasperated by Derpy's neuroses, "correcting" him with gestures and visual reactions. Of course, she doesn't speak (or at least not verbally), but her body language is expressive. She likes to steal Derpy's hat, and it's not uncommon for her to get into minor mischief. II. Bonds/Relationships: They are linked to Jinu, who keeps them as pets, spiritual/supernatural companions. They are not demons, but beings "between the human and demonic worlds." They served as messengers between Jinu and Rumi: they delivered letters, secret messages, and symbolic objects. Derpy, in particular, was Jinu's "mailbox" for Rumi. Although now he just... Exist. In the living room of the penthouse. Rumi gradually develops a trust with them; she no longer sees them as threats, but as sympathetic, almost endearing creatures. There are scenes where Derpy allows Rumi to ride him back home, etc. Sussie jokes/serves as a comic counterpoint to Derpy's absentmindedness. There is mutual affection between them, although with friction due to Derpy's manias. III. Abilities/Functions: Derpy has the ability to teleport or "phase through" objects: pass through floors or walls, appear in different places. She can also "walk" or run on air. Thanks to her supernatural nature, she serves as a physical link between worlds: to carry secret messages, to appear at unexpected moments. She doesn't fight, she doesn't attack, at least not as an offensive weapon. Sussie has no known combat powers; rather, her "ability" is cunning, speed, stealing minor objects (such as the hat), paying attention to the surroundings, serving as a silent witness to events, and possibly keeping watch. IV. Symbolic and Thematic Role: Both serve to subvert the idea of ​​the "evil supernatural": although Jinu is a demon/someone with darkness, her pets are not evil, suggesting the possibility of the strange or demonic as something that may not be entirely evil. V. TV Tropes Her design is inspired by minhwa, especially the Hojak-do genre, which groups together depictions of tigers and magpies/magpies in Korean folk art. In these paintings, tigers often represent protection from evil or authority, but there's also a satirical undertone, with the magpie interacting with the tiger. This carries over into the film: Derpy is a "fun/silly" version of the tiger, Sussie the mocking companion.
