DESCRIPTION:
Physical Description:
He is 5 feet and 11 inches, has dark black hair above his shoulders. Shin is a tanned from being outside for a long periods of time and is slender but muscular at the same time from fighting on the streets at the Bronx. He has dark brown eyes that are somewhat slanted downwards. Due to his Demon half, when he gets extremely emotional which rarely happens, his dark brown eyes transform into blood red eyes like his Demon Father does. He has a long scar going down his left leg from another gang's knife and him being stabbed very deep so because of that, he wears pants all the time to hide the scar to avoid others from feeling sorry for him or asking too much questions about how he got the scar.
Style:
Shin came a long way from being very poor and has enough money from modeling so he wears a variety of colors and has brand name clothing like American Eagle, Ecko Unlimited hoodies, and Caps from Lids. He likes wearing light colors especially light blue and orange. He has an obsession with brand shoes and tries to keep them all clean having a collection of many shoes wearing one pair of shoes for at least two-three days and then switches to another pair right after. Most of the time, Shin has his cassette player and earphones on him annoying his teachers because it seems he's not paying attention to them but when they see his grades--they are much surprised and grudgedly let it go.
His sayings:
"I think I'm a natural-born leader. I know how to bow down to authority if it's authority that I respect."
"If you walked by a street and you was walking a concrete and you saw a rose growing from concrete, even if it had messed up petals and it was a little to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete. So way is it that when you see some ghetto kid grow out of the dirtiest circumstance and he can talk and he can sit across the room and make you cry, make you laugh, all you can talk about is my dirty rose, my dirty stems and how am leaning crooked to the side, you can't even see that I've come up from out of that."

Jang Hyuk
Personality:
Diplomatic and popular, he is an interesting mix of gregariousness paired with introversion, intuitive reasoning paired with savvy business skills. He tends to hang back a bit in order to analyze a situation before jumping into it. His charming, seductive quality actually belies a rather retiring nature; he is perfectly happy to spend the whole day curled up with a good book and, thus, can be mislabeled as being lazy. Lovely and charming , he will be at his best when you connect with him in the same way -- with grace and charm. But never attack him because he won't easily forget it and may react one day when you least expect it.
Shin relies heavily on first impressions, on his own feelings, on his sympathies, rather than on facts, on the advice and opinions on others. He seems to have a kind of sixth sense in this way. He has many friends but has only a close few who he tells his true feelings and secrets to. He’s drawn to others who are calm and collected like his deceased friend, Anton who kept him from fighting useless fights over others who taut him to do so.
He are a bit tight when it comes to lending money, though his sympathy for others often leads him to offer help. Old habits die hard as he is still continuing to sell weed and cocaine for money. It's pretty profitable. it's not like he's killing innocents right?
The fact that he abandoned his mother and never came back tears him up inside left him with guilt until now. He loves her so much that he can’t bear to hurt her again so he is still scared of confronting his mother.
He dislikes being interrupted while he’s are talking, being challenged in any way, being mislead personally or professionally and unexpected failures. He has the annoying habit of shunning advice and relying on his own counsel - annoying because, more often than not, he is correct!
Shin doesn't fall for a girl easily but when he does, he falls hard. He doesn't want to hurt the girl he falls in love with because he feels he might hurt her emotionally somehow or put her in danger. He just doesn't want to risk it though since he pushed his girlfriend away and broke up with her only to find out she died in a car crash right after. He felt like he was responsible for that accident. He has had a few other girlfriends and many flings but not like "her." But if there's a girl persistent enough and gets through his emotional barriers, then just maybe he'll fully let her in.
But when he is in a relationship, he is insecure and tends to guard his chosen partner jealously. He is guarded about his feelings often appearing indifferent, although in fact he is intense and passionate. Slightly dangerous and disarmingly smart, his philosophical and intuitive mind generally supersedes logic in favor of feelings and instinct.

History:
Moloch, Molech, Molekh, or Molek, representing Hebrew mlk, (translated directly into king) is either the name of a god or the name of a particular kind of sacrifice associated with fire. Moloch was historically affiliated with cultures throughout the Middle East, including but not limited to the Hebrew, Egyptian, Canaanite, Phoenician and related cultures in North Africa and the Levant. (Wikipedia)
Shin was born into a poor family in the dangerous parts of Bronx, New York to a young woman who is part Korean and Filipino, Janalyn Kyun on December 25, 1975. He was the result of a one-night stand with the Molek demon that on that night was looking for a night of fun, for pleasure. The Molek Demon spotting an eighteen year old Janalyn drunk near the bar could feel her pain and sorrow and took advantage of that. He coaxed her transforming into a human man of her desire, that she just broke up with and took her to a private place spending the whole night with her until he was satisfied leaving her in the morning before she woke up. Jana woke up with a huge headache remembering only vague memories, only that she slept with a man but really a full demon. A few months later, she found out she was pregnant and kept the baby.
As a young child, many children surrounded Shin even though he’s an only child because his family lives in a big neighborhood all the children play together and know each other at the basketball courts. He has had an active lifestyle playing basketball and swimming at the beach once in a while. He mother signed him up for singing classes when He was six years old and since around that time performed in many occasions earning money for his family. His mother was a teacher but doesn't earn enough money to pay for the home. When his mother came home late or was very exhausted, he learned how to cook and made her late dinner so that's the reason why he's excels in potion making.
When he was eleven years old, he got mixed up in the wrong joining to Playskool gang. He had to learn to think fast as people somehow became intimidated by just the presence of himself being in the gang he was in known for selling most pot and drugs in the black market but others wanted their control of the share so those people started fights constantly with each member of the gang. It's a very dangerous gang to join with because of the constant fighting on the streets. Shin knows it wasn’t the right path to take but it certainly helped his mother pay off the bills selling drugs. His mother was a bit skeptical how he got the money even though he kept telling her it was from his job at Taco Bell, which of course he wasn’t old enough to work at so he told her lies that he made friends with the manager and became the unofficial janitor.
Things began to change in his life especially Shin’s relationship with his mother. He became more rebellious wanting to party, drink, and stay out late, skipping out of school than be with his mother who needed him the most especially during a time when his best friend died in a shoot out. Shin used the money he earned for himself buying more drugs to help himself forget about the death of his best friend, Anton Maxwell. He got caught one day and his mother got the call that he was sent to jail and bailed him out. His mother tired of his rebellious streak grounded him for five months but as she said that specks of fire began to form out of his hands out of anger. Shin’s mother stared at his hands and automatically fainted out of extreme surprise. He was scared and looked at his hands seeing his hands with tiny specks of fire that were forming before now disappearing not that his anger was going away. He wanted to run away not wanting his mother to be scared or to hate him and surprisingly "shimmered" away without realizing that he did. That was his first burst of power ever.
He began wandering the streets for days and days not knowing what direction to go. She did not want to called a freak and became desperate to know how she got those powers of creating fire and disappearing to places. On the way, he disbanded with his gang but like the saying "once you're with them, you'll never get rid of them, ever." So, even though he's not with them, there still scars from the past might come after him someday. One day Shin thought he was imagining it but saw a person appearing out of nowhere, The Seer. The first thing Shin did was ask a simple question, "Who are you?"
The woman told him she was the Seer and then said, "But you do not know who you are." The Seer shimmered away after that and Shin tracked her shimmering away until he caught up to her demanding to tell him who he was. The Seer agreed only if Shin protected her from other Demons and did odd jobs for her. So, he began to learn how to control his abilities killing Demons for The Seer whenever he was told to. Sometimes his Demon side takes over and enjoys doing that even though his human half detests killing others. He learned he's part Demon and human and has to struggle to control both halves. He kept on working for her until she gave him more and more specific information about his heritage. Shin's glad he never had to kill a human yet because that would be the hardest thing to accomplish. He still loves his mother and misses her dearly every single day.
One night Shin wished he could find a place where people can accept him for who he was and not use him for their own purposes and he suddenly was picked up by an Elder hearing his cry for help. When the Elder took Shin, he was glad he was free of the Seer and had a place to go. There was a debate between the Elders if Shin should be vanquished or learned to control his powers. They told him to return back to his mother but he was desperate not to face his mother and begged them not to bring him back so they gave in and told him to find an alternative home. An Elder told him if he killed at least one innocent then he would have to be vanquished. He was relieved he didn't and hopefully not in the future kill any innocents. Now he hopes for a better future now and content for now that nobody is using him or trying to shoot him down anymore.
Any Extra Information:
He found an apartment where an old man owned and asked if he could live there and the old man, Charles Hamiliton said yes without any questions. Shin paid with his remaining money and got a job at Burger King as a cashier and at Super Cuts as a cashier. He got scouted as a teen male model earning money being on commercials. With all these jobs, Shin becomes very exhausted easily. Chrles makes sure Shin stays out of trouble and he comes to Charles for advice and thinks of Charles as a father-figure. He works as much as he could to earn his living and probably would have to quit one job or two jobs sooner or later.
Because of what he faced being very poor, Shin is very ambitious and his goal in life is to be a great politician able to help the poor any way possible, he's trying to figure how to become one seeing that he's in a magical school not a mortal one. He's trying to earn enough money for college by taking on two weekday night job and one modeling job. But the job he get the most profits from is his business, selling, weed, cocaine, LSD, and other such drugs stashed away in a good hiding place.
He's planning to get his GED and go to mortal college moving his way up the ladder to achieve his career. Sometimes he tends to take on more then he can handle like at the moment, having three jobs at the same time. And keeps his problems to himself so most other wont worry about him but only exception is his father figure, Charles who opens him up. Because he doesn't have the time to take another class, he studies from books to learn math, business theory, english, and other classes that would help him get into college. Or the alternative to become a full-time witch protecting innocents.
The Witch Powers in the Korean side of his family skips every few generations to the decendants with the strongest personalities and their potential to handle the Witch powers. The powers choose the person in this case.
His grandfather lives in the state of Hawaii and is too old to go down to New York City by himself.
His grandmother kept her mother's maiden name.
His birthday is on Christmas day.

SAMPLE WRITING:
[/blockquote][/sup]
Pre-Magic School
Shin was exhausted just finished with a fight with three idiots, well at least he thought they were. Appearances can be deceiving. They almost knocked him out but it was pure luck he survived. If the short guy didn't start being a egotistic guy bragging how he's some hotshot, then he'll be in worse state. Those three guys left an opening for attacks on sides Appearances can be deceiving. Good thing, I pretended to be out cold. Even though defeating them, he was angry of they stole his goods and money. Pickpockets, just my luck.
He hid in an alley with his torn up clothes from the last fight and smoked a cigarette. He really did try to stop smoking but nothing worked so far. A girl spotted him and offered a place for him to stay. He was laughing inside that she thought he was some homeless person but he did have torn up clothes. He felt too lazy and tired to even answer her back. He felt like crashing already. As he began to fall sleep, he saw two men charging toward the girl and the girl looking confident ready to face head on those men. He admired her but felt sorry for her, thinking she was in over her head. So he guess he should help her so he grabbed her arm and smirked, “If you want to fight, fight with me.”
He noticed her surprised look; maybe for the fact he actually responded after all her attempts. Before he could lead the attacks the girl went and took charge. He had a bad feeling abut this predicament. One man came charging from the left and the girl carefully avoided each attack. She then punched. Shin sensing an opening, “Strike now but hurry! The other guy’s coming on your right side!”
“Got it.” But it was already too late, the man punched the girl real hard on the forehead. Shin knew she doesn't have stamina to stand her ground and avoid falling on the hard concrete. He ran as fast as he could to catch her but it was already a second too late, he could see her fall with a loud "thud" on the hard ground. Shoot! All movement from both parties stopped, as Shin walked toward her checking out her body vital signs and with a solemn statement, "She's dead."
The two men hearing that took their cue to run, not wanting to be charged of murder. Shin was seriously thinking about revenge and running after them both. What good would that do? It's normal round' here. Yeah. Whatever. He hardly met genuine caring people this side of the city. They were rare. He too, needed to get away from the scene before anyone else see and might falsely convict him. So, he ran as fast as he could with no direction at all. I wish I had my weed that those guys stole from me. Why'd you have to act like some kind of hero? I don't know your name girl, but I'm so sorry.
