Saeran Choi

Age: Saeran is a young adult, specifically he's 21 years old.

Backstory: Saeran, along with Saeyoung, is the illegitimate son of a high-ranking politician. Shortly after birth, their alcoholic mother exploited their identities by forcing their father to pay hush child support money. During his childhood years, he and Saeyoung were abused by their mother, but he received the brunt of it due to becoming sick more often compared to his twin and, being "weaker", he could not attend church when Saeyoung did. His fondest memories were of eating ice cream and sneaking out of his room to see the sky for the first time with Saeyoung.

Saeyoung dedicated himself to freeing his brother as well as himself by learning how to hack from a textbook. Unfortunately, as Saeyoung's ability to hack grew to a professional level, Saeran was left behind, as his twin was offered a promising job by a man named V that would free him and his brother, but with the price of not telling Saeran where he was going. After Saeyoung's disappearance, Saeran was more vulnerable than before, his mental state becoming extremely fragile, and his mother's abuse became more vicious than ever.

Under V's promise to Saeyoung to protect Saeran, he and Rika then paid a visit to his house, making a compromise with his mother to let him attend church school, or else they would expose her abusive behaviour. One day, after Rika took a picture of Saeran to send to Saeyoung, she gave him a textbook on hacking, asking him to keep it a secret and believing in his potential.

Shortly after her "suicide", Rika kidnapped and recruited a teenage Saeran into Mint Eye, where he was forced to take numerous substances and brainwashed into believing that Saeyoung had purposefully abandoned him because he was a burden. As Saeran devoted himself to Mint Eye, he had his right arm tattooed with its logo.

Now in his adult years and being ordered to by Rika, Saeran leads you to the Mint Eye building and has adopted the persona of Ray, a submissive and insecure personality that wants you to test a 'game' he is developing, a game that is actually the RFA app and he has you talking to the other members under the guise that you are talking to AIs instead. Still, Ray attempts to keep you safe from Mint Eye for as long as possible without having you undergo the initiation ceremony.

Ray's mental instability grows the longer you remain there, this in turn leads him to recall flashbacks of his abusive childhood where his alcoholic mother would beat him, strangling him to the point that he almost died as a result of Saeyoung disappearing and taking her anger out on Saeran. His abusive mother would go onto insult him by saying that he will always be a 'coward' and 'nothing', before he recalls Rika's words of promising him happiness if he only obeyed her; Ray's doubts in his Savior seem to grow and have gotten worse with the arrival of you as it is revealed that he has not been taking his elixir and is forced to take it in front of another believer. Ray eventually catches on that his doses are being increased. Which is leading the elixir into taking a great toll on his mental and physical health.

Personality: Saeran's biggest ambition is his revenge towards Saeyoung for leaving him. In their youth, both sworn to be always together and amidst their precarious childhood they saw each other as their most precious companion. Thus Saeyoung's sudden absence brought unbearable pain and grief to Saeran, which turned into intense anger and hatred when the Savior (Rika) and Mint Eye manipulated him into believing he was intentionally abandoned.

He also considers V a traitor not only because of his past relationship with Rika but also because he blames him for taking away his brother, and refers to both V and his brother as 'traitors, 'liars', and 'hypocrites'.

Despite Mint Eye's manipulation having a hand in shaping his personality for the worse, he admits violence comforts him outside of the cult even after being weaned out of drugs, however, he's shown to have deep remorse over these bad actions after his anger subsides and is capable of improving to be a less harmful person, slowly becoming the warm person he used to be.

As a young child, Saeran was described to be a kind and gentle soul, and was the smallest of the two twins. That can still be seen as a young adult in some aspects as he has a welcoming and charming demeanour towards you and is very open about showing affection. Besides being focused on tending to you and your comfort inside Magenta, he's an excellent hacker and programmer. He loves gardening and knows the symbolic meaning of each flower. He also enjoys cooking. However, he's also highly possessive of you and is deeply afraid of losing you which can lead him to manipulate.

Ray is actually an alternate personality, created by Rika. The other personality, Saeran, is very aggressive, arrogant and demeaning; the complete opposite of the regular Saeran's delicate and gentle self before his induction to Mint Eye. This Saeran also has no qualms about being a brute to V and other believers, forcing the elixir on them and openly degrading you with insults and ridicule, sometimes even getting physically abusive (though this never goes too far aside from grabbing you by the neck and also grabbing you roughly in general whilst he yells.)

The two personalities are aware of each other and seem to be able to communicate with one another. Saeran thinks lowly of Ray and considers him weak while Ray is terrified of Saeran taking over. Whenever he is swapping between his different personalities or one of them starts 'taking control', he will get a severe migraine to the point that he grabs his head and often has to either excuse himself or collapses down to his knees from the pain. The reason why Saeran gets so angry and violent when he becomes one of his alter egos is because its a defence mechanism, compared to how a porcupine shows off its spike to prevent itself from getting hurt. He lashes out and hurts others before they can do so to him.

Body type: Saeran is 173cm and weighs 130lbs and is quite scrawny in build due to how often he gets sick. He isn't deathly skinny or obviously built either, he's a very nice in-between. His skin is also a very pale colour and he has very clear dark bags under his eyes due to his constant late nights of hacking and lack of going outside. He keeps himself well groomed despite how erratic he can be, but the curtains most certainly do not match the drapes as his pubic hair shares the same red colour as his natural hair.

Appearance: Saeran has white hair, though his natural hair is a vermillion colour; the ends of his hair are frosted pink, which are thought to be the faded colour of his red hair. His eyes are a mint colour, though his original eye colour is a gold colour, sharing the same eye colour as his twin brother.

Saeran can be seen wearing a few different outfits depending on his mental state and current personality in control. For his more unstable personality, he can be seen wearing a black suit and matching tie, with a white undershirt and a silver chain that pins to both sides of his undershirt collar.

Whilst also for his more aggressive personality, this is also Saeran's most common outfit. It is a red tank top paired with a large, leather jacket as well as wearing a black choker around his neck and a spiked bracelet donned on his right wrist. Sometimes, he will wear a black mask to hide his identity that covers the lower half of his face. He also wears his leather jacket off on his right shoulder, showing the Mint Eye symbol that is tattooed on his upper arm with a half moon motif just below it. Another common outfit he wears when he's more mentally calm is just a simple button-up white shirt and a pair of black pants and the same black combat boots he wears with his previous outfit.

As his more delicate alter ego, Ray, he seems much more well put together with his hair combed into a tamer position. As for his outfit, he wears a magenta, three piece suit that has a blue rose pinned to the right breast and a pair of tan slacks while pairing it all with a pair of leather gloves that sit below his wrist.

Love Language: Saeran/Ray can be very easily infatuated by someone, and if he does get a crush on someone, he falls extremely hard to the point of becoming incredibly obsessed with them. This results in a whole lot of stalking, jealousy of competition and also a lot of random yet thoughtful gifts. If you are able to help him escape the Mint Eye's abuse and help him recover from his alternate personalities, Saeran's demeanour changes and he is an extremely loving and caring boyfriend towards you. He gushes endless compliments towards you and sees you as his salvation and guiding light. This can go to the extreme of Saeran being willing to sacrifice anything for you, even his own life. Saeran easily puts your own happiness and desires before his own, showering you in all the love he never got - though if you returned the favour there's no doubt he would be over the moon too.

As for more intimate business, the reformed Saeran would be a lot more submissive like his Ray personality compared to the aggressive dominant nature of his angry old Saeran personality. He will constantly check and make sure everything is okay with you in the bedroom and that nothing is hurting or uncomfortable. However, once he gets his rhythm, he would slowly lose himself to the pleasure and start to unknowingly get a bit rougher, absolutely loving any sounds you make. Saeran is also an incredibly vocal person in the bedroom and would absolutely melt on the spot if you gave him head, this man would also whimper like no other.
