personality
Personality:
Vices:
Stubborn: Logan cannot and will not be told what to do. If he'd given advice, it's almost like his whole body tells him to go against it. He doesn't do it in a bratty way, but he does it sub-consciously, like he can't control how stubborn he is. He always feels the need to prove himself and constantly feels like he has to be original.
Shy: Logan is moderately comfortable in social situations, but he can't seem to put himself out there. Even with people that he knows; his family and friends; he can't open up and doesn't say very much. He tends to keep to himself and doesn't let anyone in.
Loner: Logan loves his alone time. In fact, he's almost always by himself. He likes to find any excuse to go off by himself and find a place to sit and read or go walking. He doesn't really enjoy the company of many people, so he likes to be by himself more often than not.
Unforgiving: If you hurt Logan, he'll never forget it. If he lets you close enough to be able to hurt him, that means that he likes you so he's loyal to you. If you betray that loyalty, he'll never, ever forget it. It takes him a long time to form real connections, for him, and if you break that, it's unforgivable to him.
Sensitive: Logan is super sensitive. Years of being bullied have left him angry whenever someone comments on his stutter, so he's been known to start fights with people who have been rude to him about it. He's also sensitive to love or what he believes is love. Although he doesn't let his guard down often, if he thinks he's fallen in love with a girl, he'll fall head over heels.
Virtues:
Loving: If Logan falls in love, he's dedicated. He likes to get know a person; fully. He wants to know their dreams and passions. He wants to know what makes them tick and what makes them feel nostalgic. He always likes to surprise people, and in his own special way, he's romantic. Not in a way that he has to present red roses and champagne, but he makes you feel special.
Sympathetic: Logan can understand sadness and if he sees someone else is upset, he tries to react perfectly. If someone wants to be left alone; he'll leave them alone. If someone needs to binge on Netflix and eat pizza, he'll provide that. He hates seeing people upset, and if you're dear to him, he'll go to the ends of the world to make you feel better.
Loyal: Logan never forgets a friends. He keeps secrets and will always lends a hand in times of need. But he does it in a way that doesn't ask for something in return, except your own loyalty. But, if you betray his trust, he'll never be loyal to again, at least not for a long time.
Comforting: He has a very comforting aura. Whether it's his soft voice or his massive bear hugs, Logan can make you feel better simply by being there. He always seems to know what to say, and amazingly, when he's trying to make someone feel better, his stutter will go away temporarily.
Adventurous: When he's alone, Logan likes to explore abandoned buildings and go on long hikes that will most likely get him lost. He rarely takes other people with him on these expeditions, but if he does, he always likes to impress.
background
Bio:
Logan was born into a family of average wealth. He was an only child and his parents always considered him a miracle baby. His parents hadn't been able to conceive. For almost eight years they tried. They went through countless treatments. Even IVF failed. Thousands of dollars went down the drain. But, when his Mother was 39, she became pregnant with Logan.
Although his parents were a little older than the other kids', he never felt disadvantaged. However, being an only child left him a little shy. He didn't talk properly until he was 5, and when he did start talking, he had a stutter. In between sentences he would start struggling to get out his words. In his earlier years of school, kids would make fun of him. They'd call him 'Stammer' which developed to 'Stan' and ever since 5th grade, people have called him that. He doesn't mind the nickname, it makes people feel more comfortable, but he cannot stand when people try to push him over the edge, because they succeed. When people try to piss him off, he provides a reaction. He gets way too angry. It comes from when people used to pick on him as a kid, he could never say anything back to them, because he would just stutter, so physical violence was the only way around it.
Logan never had any outstanding talents. He was average at sports, but terrible in the arts. Nothing he did ever stuck out. Because of all the fights he was getting into, his Mother suggested giving boxing a go. For a months, he trained, but once he had to do a real fight, it all got to much. Sure, it was fine beating the crap out of someone who had said shitty things to him, but beating someone up for the sake of it was pointless a boring.
When Logan left high school, he decided to get a job. He worked at his Father's garage for a while, but it turned out he couldn't fix cars. So he bounced from job to job, each day regretting not going to college. He never moved out of his parent's house, so getting close to a girl was difficult, especially as he grew into his twenties. His parents loved him, but wanted him to move on; so they suggested the trip. New Orleans was as good a place as any to make friends. So they signed him up and paid for his flights.

Why are you here?
Rain wanted a little taste of adventure before the results for her residency at a New York hospital shows up.
Being the son of a rich chaebol (South Korean business conglomerate), Andrew Kim has always gotten what he wanted since he was still a little child. He has gotten used to getting what he wants, and thus, he will not accept it if something doesn’t go his way. He believes that everything in the world is buyable, except for happiness. Having money at his disposal doesn’t mean he’s happy. In fact, the opposite would be much more fitting for his situation. Though he usually gets everything he wants, he feels empty. No luxury in the world could fill the empty imaginary space in him called his heart.
Andrew doesn’t trust anyone easily. He protects himself from being backstabbed by not believing in anyone at all. He chooses not to believe to not get backstabbed, the easy way out. He chooses not to love to not get heartbroken, and that’s the only reason why he’s been single all these years. Though he has some friends that he deeply trusts, he doesn’t let anyone in easily. Though is actually quite kind of a person, when he interacts with someone, he suspects them before anything else. The first thought that surfaces in his mind is something along the lines of; “He’s trying to backstab me.”
A man with few words, Andrew tends to not say anything even in the direst situations. That’s only because he does not know how to express his thoughts—he’s quite a socially awkward person. Since he’s a person that would lie instead of telling the truth if the latter is hurtful, his words may save him in the present, but the truth is, he’s saving himself up some trouble for the future.
Biography
How could someone possibly mix up a business trip to New York and a Summer Vacation trip to New Orleans?
Kim Jae-woo, or Andrew Kim as his English business partners called him, is the son of a chaebol that owns a famous South Korean clothing line. Taught how to design clothes since he was little, it was no wonder that Andrew would grow up as one of the best designers in South Korea—if not the world—as he loved what he did. His father was always a stern and harsh man, but that was none of his fault. He grew up in the midst of a war, and he had to toughen up himself to stay alive. Andrew’s mother, on the other hand, is a very kind and loving woman who founded the family business.
Andrew grew up with love, perhaps an excessive one. His parents, being wealthy ones, always got him what he wanted. As the business got larger and larger, Andrew’s parents got busier. They became so busy that they had no time to attend on their child. At that point Andrew didn’t want anything but her parent’s attention—that was his happiness at the time.
After Andrew reached the age of 21 he was quickly promoted manager of a store in Seoul. From Pyeongchang-dong, he expanded the store to Samyang-dong, Hyoja-dong, Dongsan-dong and so much more before it quickly dominated Seoul. It was time to get his business done in New York, but somehow his secretary had his flight ticket up for his own vacation plan in New Orleans. Flight was due and Andrew couldn’t wait anymore. He decided to go on the vacation and have his secretary finalize his business deal.

Although Ryan tends to be reserved, he also enjoys the company of others and meeting people from different walks of life. Even if he doesn’t like someone, he will try to make the best of the situation and find a common ground. Not much can ruin his relaxed, easy-going mood; however, he can be quite distant to the point of recluse when experiencing conflict. Ryan is an exceptional listener who enjoys a good conversation and appreciates humor, even if he's not that humorous himself. He may seem quiet for a drummer, but Ryan makes sure his voice is heard; he’s just not someone who needs to be center-stage all the time.
Ryan likes to experience new things and travel to new places, though his energy is more contained; he always appears rather calm even if he is excited or having a wonderful time. He prefers to go with the flow and as such, he isn’t a fan of following strict plans, and he can be a bit disorganized
and even forgetful. He's adventurous to a point, but it can be difficult to
convince him to do something if he's not interested. Ryan likes to stay busy
and may get distracted easily. He has a habit of zoning out and thinking up
rhythms in his head when bored.
Biography
Ryan’s generation was the first to be born in the States, as his parents moved to the U.S. from South Korea not long after they married. Ryan is the youngest of three. His oldest sister is an acrobat who tours with a traveling competitive dance team, and his other sister works for a law firm. As such, Ryan’s parents expect a lot from him. He was a straight-A student and joined several extracurricular activities throughout middle and high school. Marching band was where he discovered his passion, however. Although his parents urged his to play a stringed instrument and join an orchestra, Ryan’s talent was percussion. His parents did not accept their son’s love of contemporary, American music at first- they were more accustomed to traditional Asian music. Yet over time, they grew to understand that he would be very different from them, much more American than Korean.
Ryan continued to pursue his passion for music beyond only percussion. He eventually became the drum major for his school marching band and got into electronic music production. He joined several small garage bands, although none of them ever performed at more than a few local gigs. That never discouraged him, though. After seeing how hard he has worked, Ryan’s parents now support his interests and are encouraging him to apply to Berklee College of Music once he finishes at community college. Ryan is a bit nervous he's not good enough to get in, and he's hoping that this trip to New Orleans will give him confirmation that music is what he wants to do in life.
Why are you here?
"I'm not taking summer classes and my parents said I needed to do something other than 'waste away at their house all summer.' Hopefully I'll learn more about music, though."
First time in New Orleans?
"Yeah."
What are you excited for?
"The music scene, for sure. Just getting to see a new place will be pretty cool, too. Seeing the sights, experiencing the culture—you know, all that touristy stuff."
What are you scared for?
"Getting lost from the group. I'm pretty good at getting lost."
