Build a Connection

Name: Rania Dane

Age:25

Major: Hospitality

Description: Her last name does her justice; co-captain of the dance team, captain of the cheer team. Does volunteer work on the weekends all while maintaining above average grades. Nominated for homecoming court 2 years in a row, and her peers think it’s a crime that she hasn’t won yet. Charming smile and a sweet personality, but there’s some serious spice under all that sugar. In her last year of college, her main focus is to lay low and keep on staying out of trouble. Her family is affluent but surprisingly decent people. After all, who doesn’t love a Dane.

Name: Riki Nishimura aka Ni-ki

Age: 20

Major: Fine Arts in Dance

Description: Good looking, charismatic, and has a way with words. All of these qualities almost make up for the fact that he’s a complete asshole. Almost. If he doesn’t like you, he’ll be sure to let you know, and if he finds you attractive, he’ll be sure to add you to his body count. Is rarely at school due to either suspension or just him plain skipping. It’s only his second year of college, and he’s already over it. Somehow hasn’t been expelled yet, probably because his mom is one of the universities biggest donors. If he is on campus, he’s probably hanging out with Sunoo. Fun fact :) he has been arrested multiple times for illegal drug possession, and driving while intoxicated, or coming to class intoxicated, and yet somehow people still swoon after him.

Name:Jay Park

Age:23

Major: Business/Finance

Description: Focused. That’s the first word that comes to mind when asked to describe Jay. The second is intimidating. Not in Ni-ki’s “I’m going to beat your ass” way, but in a “Buy the land your house is built on and sell it for double the profit” type of way. Jay has immense pressure to succeed. A reputation for turning women down without even giving them a glance. He eats, sleeps, and breathes his school work. Also he’s already taking grad school courses. If it’s not related to his major, then don’t even waste your time trying to talk to him. Strangers may call him cold, but that’s honestly because he is extremely allergic to bullshit. He’s better than his brother, and in Jay’s mind, that’s all that counts.

Name: Jake Sim

Age:23

Major: Kinesiology

Description: Unbelievably gifted in any sport, he tries, but basketball is his passion. He made the varsity team despite being a sophomore and prides himself on it. Traveled to Korea last summer to play. This was exciting for him because he got to see where his parents grew up. Don’t think he’s some jock though he could easily have a 4.0, but settles for a 3. Because that’s his lucky number.Lives in the same neighborhood as Rania and Jay. He used to date Rania but had to break up because his mom said she was a distraction, but they’re still close “friends”. Liked by everyone, and has also been nominated for homecoming court a few times. When he’s not practicing on campus, he’s practicing at home. “You’ll have time to rest when you’re old” is what his mom says.

Name: Heeseung Lee

Age: 24

Major: Practical Law

Description: Son of the police chief, so he’s often left out from all of the illegal activities that his peers participate in. Does not get along with Ni-ki for obvious reasons. Not that he cares. If they want to get drunk off their asses then fine by him. He’ll do it alone, in his room. While thinking about his mother. A recluse of sorts not much is known about him besides what is seen. He opts to people watch and silently judge. Basically what he’s known for at this point. Giving people judgmental stares and unsolicited advice. He’s always watching, and he somehow knows everything about everyone. When he’s not doing that, however, he is hanging out in the police station, chatting up his father’s co-workers, or researching practical law. Although he may not look like it, he wants to be a lawyer. Like his mother was.

Name: Jungwon Yang

Age:21

Major: Biology

Description: Jungwon, similar to Jake, is both smart and athletic. The only difference is that Jungwon is incredibly shy. In fact, he’s only ever really seen talking to his childhood friend Sunghoon, but people still love him, specifically girls. Due to his height and build, females often forget the boy just turned 21. Giving him the nickname “Lady Killer” by the upperclassmen, but what they don’t know is that this “womanizer” is a complete and utter virgin. He always politely declines offers, and girls find him so cute that they just brush it off and move along. Don’t get him wrong. It’s not like they’re not cute. He’s just not attracted to them. Because they’re females. Of course, no one else needs to know that.

Name: Sion Kim aka Sunoo

Age:22

Major: Digital Media

Description: No one knows Sion’s actual name; he hasn’t gone by it in years. Only Riki uses it when it’s just the two of them. The name Sunoo reminds him of “him,” so he’d rather not think about it. Is often seen wandering the halls with Riki or wandering the streets until dawn to avoid going home. He is loud, brash, and talks way too much. Don’t get into a verbal alteration with him, though he will insult your entire family lineage. All bark and no bite, it is known that he tends to crumble in the face of violence. This is why he sticks close to Riki. In addition to being a complete smart ass, he is also responsible for 80% of the campus gossip. So, he was happy to be invited for the project because it kept him out of the house longer, and it gave him new drama.

Name: Sunghoon Park aka No Name

Age:23

Major: Computer Science

Description: Sunghoon is mute. This has been his reality for the past 2 years now. This wasn’t an accident, though. It was a choice. He even learned sign language. That way, he really wouldn’t have to speak. Much to the dismay of his parents. To most people, he’s never spoken, hence the title “No Name.” Jungwon is the only person he talks to, and it’s only a small ‘Yes’s or No’s’ . It’s better this way because if he flies under the radar, then he’ll be left alone. Jungwon won’t have to defend him. Not that he wouldn’t be able to defend himself now, because now things are different. He’s a lot more muscular since hitting the gym, and girls have noticed. Although Sunghoon only has eyes for a certain Dane at the moment.
