The Menagerie
The Collector | Yeom Jeong "Abeoji/Father"
Never much of a father figure to any, The Collector is a selfish being. His real name and origins are unknown, but since coming to England he has adopted the anglicanized name of Jeong. The official story is that he was married in Joseon and his wife, since passed, left him five heirs. Deciding to settle anew in the West after her passing, Yeom has eased into his old age and runs something of a curiosity emporium on occasion— for those in the know. His primary public goal is to have his sons married into proper, powerful English families and he is not above spending a pretty penny to see them situated. (Or blackmailing/torturing/bribing his way forward.) Unofficially, he desires nothing more than to become part of the Wizengamot so he can exert further power and influence. He has a pesky little fly he’s trying to kill in the meantime; one that could unravel all his plans.
The Cursed Five
Namdongsaeng "little brothers"
- Seojin Jeong - a half-vampire (Jinu)
- Taesu Jeong - a half-Veela (romance)
- Jae-hyun Jeong - a seer (baby)
- Ki-Se Jeong - the blood cursed (mystery)
Appearance:
Ahn-Bo has always been tall (6'3"), strong, and athletic. Born the second son to a noble family in Joseon, he was raised to become an important member of society and received all the proper education, including the correct posture–he walks proudly, with a straight back and chin held high. His black hair has a slight wave to it when it's long enough to brush his ears. It's usually tousled in a 'I woke up this beautiful' way. His brows are thick and straight, and his eyes are a dark brown they look nearly black. He has a straight nose, full lips, and abs for days. He's right handed and prefers British fashion because it's more closely tailored (and consequently, shows off his body more.) He usually walks the thin line of being dressed approriately while also having something push a little too far - a top button undone, a loose tie, or his shirt sleeves roll up to show off his forearms.
History:
1869-1885 | Born and raised as a wealthy, pureblood noble in Joseon. As the second son, he was expected to represent the family and join the military as an officer once he finished his schooling. At age seven, he started attending Mahoutokoro. At eleven, he began boarding. In his second year, he meets Seojin and is the only one who doesn't care of his vampire heritage. He treats him just like anyone else, and convinces him to try his luck at a broomstick. What began as a bit of a rivalry soon flourished into an easy friendship.
1886 | The summer he turned sixteen, he had an ill-fated run in with a werewolf in the forest outside his family village, Bukchon Hanok. He's bitten and nearly dies, but his younger sister is able to get him to a magical healer in time to save him. He's disowned and his family claims he died from an animal attack. Between Jin and his younger sister Ha-eun, he manages to survive. Tragedy strikes only three moon cycles later, when he attacks his sister while turned. She died, and he ran away to join Jin, who convinced The Collector to take him in. This was the start of the The Menagerie.
1887-1894 | Over time, three others were added to The Menagerie, a seer, a half-veela, and a boy with a blood curse. As the eldest (and largest), Ahn-Bo is the muscle of the group. The Collector uses him essentially as a bouncer for the twisted circus, as well as using him as an errand boy to fetch cursed objects. Their group becomes popular and is even in demand at the palace for a stint. He's worried he'll be recognized, but with his scars and the fact that everyone thinks he's dead, it never happened.
Ahn-Bo has fewer memories of everything that happened during this time, only vaguely remembering the failed deal that Jin made. He still fosters some resentment, but it's buried deep deep down. Being in the world of The Collector introduced him to opium, which he found helped soothe the pains when he transitioned every moon cycle. Between The Collector being his supply for the substance and his loyalty to Jin, he has accepted his fate and doesn't think they'll ever be free.
He pays no attention to the dynamics or workings of The Collector, so he doesn't fully understand (or care) that they left Joseon for Britain. Instead, he immerses himself in the new culture, adopts their fashion, learns their language, and does whatever impulsive things he can so he can feel happy, even though it's fleeting.
His bedroom in the new home is above the attic space. It's just large enough for a person to comfortably walk around in. The Collector has procured a cage that Ahn-Bo gets locked in during the full moon, though he's also watched/guarded by their animagus house maid.
Personality: In a nutshell: so traumatized he's never serious and always joking, lives by YOLO, addicted to opium for werewolf pains, and the cherry on top is he's sexy and he knows it.
