JUMIN HAN » MYSTIC MESSENGER
26 years old. 183cm. Jumin is an executive director of and heir to C&R International, a massive Korean-based conglomerate. He is a shrewd, stoic and meticulous man who prioritizes work and his cat above all else.

For the most part, he is level-headed and mature, making him seem older than he actually is. However, he also shows interest in current trends. He likes coming up with quirky cat-related businesses on the side. He also likes to think that he's funny. He has a strange sense of humor. As a sadist who enjoys ribbing those who annoy him, he can also be pretty savage.

Due to his privileged upbringing, Jumin has a different perspective of the world. Although he is an intelligent and sophisticated man, particularly exceptional when it comes to business matters, he is clueless about everyday life, such as vending machines and bathrooms with no bath tubs.

He claims that there are only three things he can trust: "cash, cats... and that's pretty much it." Despite this, he does trust his family and has great love and respect for his father, whom he has a good relationship with despite his womanizing ways. He cares for those in his inner circle and is willing to do whatever he can to help them, albeit in his own meddling way.

His trust issues stem from his family situation: his lack of a proper role model for love due to his father's inability to find love for himself; the greed he can see in others—especially women, in his experience—as they fail to recognize him rather than his possessions and privilege; and the expectations people place upon him, especially his calculating and greedy stepmother, disregarding his own emotions in the process. Thus, Jumin is afraid of getting hurt. He prefers being in control. He finds it difficult to open up to others, which is why he only has two real friends and loves his cat to bits.

Jumin finds it much easier to be the selfish and pragmatic person he is today. He is unconcerned about how others see him and lives as he likes. In fact, it is because of this that he exudes confidence and believes in himself to the point of arrogance, much to the annoyance of those around him. Thus, talking to him can be like talking to a wall, as he is incredibly self-righteous and steadfast in his beliefs. He also deems emotions and relationships unworthy of his time, going so far as to say that he's never needed anyone to lean on before. Perhaps it's because of this disinterest in others and interest in perfection that he tends to zoom into details that no one else would care to notice. He only wants to be a man who works efficiently, so he views everything from a logical perspective, making him seem heartless and aloof.

Beneath his icy exterior, he is lonely and longs to be accepted and understood. This is difficult; he is awkward, difficult to relate to, seems to lack empathy, and can be rather dense. But when he falls in love, he can be incredibly sweet, albeit ostentatious and obsessive in his display of affection. Being cold like his mother is the last thing he wants to do. Due to his fear of betrayal, he's very possessive and wants to be in control of the person he cherishes the most. He's afraid of this side of him. Emotions are ugly and he would rather do away with them than feel too much.

Even so, he thinks there is something magical about love and the way it controls him. Following his heart is all he's ever wanted to do.

He has an interest in golf and foreign languages and BDSM LOOK, IT'S CANON, I'M JUST SAYING. He loves wine, cheese, reading, stripes and cats. Permissions and more information here.

Element: Water
Origin: Restraint

Magecraft: Like his family, he specializes in alchemy, particularly in transmutation.

AU Notes:
- Still a director at C&R International.
- Jaehee did not come with him to Fuyuki but he contacts her regularly for both work and war matters.
- Elizabeth III is still a cat. He brought her to Fuyuki with him.
- V is still going blind. He believes that Rika is dead.
- From a long line of mages that fell into ruin but made a name for themselves by creating C&R, now a multinational conglomerate. They had to do things like kill people and transmute gold to get to where they are now, but the current head of the Han family doesn't condone that, so Jumin is unaware of this.
- His mother(s) only wanted him for his magic circuits and/or money, but his father loved him and treated him like a normal, caring parent would. However, his father is pressuring him to find a wife to continue the family line, which has strained their relationship. (His father is more concerned about their business than their mage bullshit, really.)
- Despite his outward stoic personality, he dislikes the unfeeling nature of mages. Still, it is a personality he adopts out of convenience not only to others, but to himself.
- His time at the Clock Tower was... okay. Although he produced more than satisfactory results, he refused to stay longer than one normally needed to. Too busy working on that dissertation at Oxford.
- Naturally curious, so he's interested in many things like the occult.
- Collects magical artifacts.
