Member of a teenage gang, a tightknit group of friends who meet up, hang out, help each other out in their family or society can't, cause some light mischief and occasionally get into fights with other groups over the best hangout locations in the 1970s.

He has medium length black hair that he keeps in a neatly styled afro, and dark brown eyes that usually seem to be smiling with thin, straight eyebrows. He has a long, oval shaped face with a pointy chin, and has a taller, thinner build.

Sunny likes to be the center of attention and the life of any group, he's charismatic and likes to see others smile, he's also good at reading people and picking up on subtle cues, and knowing how to use that information. Though his exciting and sociable personality is just one side of him, underneath that he's a sensitive person, he cares for others feelings and peoples opinions on him and occasionally gets upset when people reduce him to a one-note caricature and tries to hide it by doubling down on his front of confidence and humor. Aside from his charismatic side he is also very driven and determined, constantly finding new goals for himself to achieve and trying to one up his personal bests, he's also uses his ability to read people to be a better friend, he's good at sensing when someone's upset or remembering little details that are important to people. Though sometimes how he appears to others can be a problem to him and he occasionally lies to make himself seem cooler, and can occasionally be a bit stingy with his money. Aside from this, he's also fairly adaptable to any situation he finds himself in, he's able to quickly read the room and respond appropriately, and he's smart enough to keep quiet if he knows he's out of his depth.

He was born as an only child and lived in a busy apartment with his parents and grandfather. His mother worked part-time in a convenience store on the street level of their apartment and his father worked as a salesman in local department store, and they spent a lot of time together, with Sunny's favourite activity being going out to parks and forests to explore. He spent a lot of time outdoors as a child, wandering around and searching for small lost items or hiding from his parents and friends. When he wasn't going outdoors he spent a lot of time playing with the apartments children and talking with his neighbors, where he met his best friend, Billie, and they often spent time together playing in parks or drawing silly things in Billie's notebooks. As he got older and found himself at school he was an OK a student but very popular with his classmates, and while he occasionally got in trouble for talking in class and graffitiing on school property with Billie, it only added to his cool persona he had carefully crafted for himself. Though his cool guy look fell apart one day when, on his way back from school, he was bumped by a car outside the school gates, he wasn't seriously hurt but he broke his wrist and everyone saw him crying which ended up hurting his pride and ruining his reputation.

He returned to school after recovering, and while some of his classmates were eager to see him back and signed his cast, he noticed a change in their behaviors around him and in turn he also started to care less about what those at school thought of him, and spent more time out in the wider community, getting to know people and, as he and Billie got older, started to get involved in the local street art community. As he started to do art himself, he found his early childhood experiences in the parks helped him out, he was better at hiding and finding good little spots to paint than others, and he worked well in a team with Billie, this lead them to quickly rise through the ranks of the underground scene. They were soon noticed by various other groups around town, most notably, a small group run by a teen from a local high school, Atlas and his friends. When a member of Atlas's gang would spot them they would stop and chat, share news or tip each other off on the best painting spots or what the other groups in the city were up to, and they developed a friendly symbiotic relationship. This became very useful when, one day while painting the pair met an unfriendly rival gang that were not happy to find some strangers spray painting in their area, and they started to chase the pair, and just as it seemed they would get caught, Atlas's gang jumped in and a short fight broke out between the groups. Both gangs returned to their neighborhood with only minor injuries, but the whole ordeal brought them closer to each other, and they started to hang out outside of just passing conversations. Eventually they became friends, and proper members of the gang, fitting in quickly as Yorkie and Aries had before them.
