Park Yun-seo

The man behind Camellia Workshop, Yun-seo. Unlike his older brothers who took up their family's textile making business, he decided to devote himself to the art of making magi-tech. He has a specific interest in automatons and machines though, finding them fascinating to work with. Due to him not being the oldest child, he was able to pursue his hobbies as he pleased, leading him to become rather profecient in his job.

Of course though the success of his career is dwarfed by his wife's success. Due to being in charge of a blood bank that supplies and donates bloods to the thousands of vampires around the world, her work is a backbone of their society. Truthfully, he couldn't be more proud of her success, always supporting her in her endeavors.

While he lives away from his family at the vampiric haven of Utopia, he is still on good terms with all of his siblings and his mother... He would just rather not live in such a busy household is all.

Park Yun-seo is one of the many, many children of Yeon-hwa, the "Mistress of iridescent silks." She is one of the most famed suppliers of magical cloth, crafting it with her own hands and imbuing it with her own magical energy. Her silks shine with the colors of the setting sun, and they have brought her once poor family a lot of prosperity over the years. With the prosperity her skills and talents brought her, she found herself determined to pass it on to as many offspring as possible... leading to the third oldest child of Yeon-hwa, Yun-seo.

Due to being the third oldest, he did not have as much pressure as his older siblings to take on the craft. Instead of making it his job, he made it his hobby and a sort of "side hustle." In exchange for this lighter load of the family tradition, he took it upon himself to be the main caretaker of his siblings whenever their mother (or one of their fathers) were not around. Even though he dislikes the noise his younger brothers and sisters make, he does still love all of them. After all, despite most of them having different fathers, they all grew up under the same household and share the same loving mother.

So Yun-seo did his best to take care of them between his own personal craft honing, but when one of his younger brothers was discovered to be sickly, he realized he needed extra help. That is why his mother hired a human doctor by the name of Lenore to help nurse the young boy to health. Although she was human, she was rather understanding with the boy's plight and offered to help when she heard Yeon-hwa's concern for her child... not fully expecting to be met with so many other children that her third son helped take care of.

When Yun-seo laid eyes on her, his life changed forever. He led her around the house and showed her each of the rooms she would likely frequent, and did his best to introduce her to all of his siblings. In that day, the two grew close with Lenore often making lighthearted comments that would draw Yun-seo in. Her care for his youngest brother also help chip away at his initial concerns about hiring outside help. She was a beautiful, kind woman.

Over the months the two got to know each other more, with Yun-seo often accompanying her outside in town to help with any shopping she would need to do, or taking over for her when she was too tired to work. At night the two talked and talked away. When it came time to partake in his town's festival, he made sure to bring her along, helping her get dressed in traditional clothing so she could enjoy it to the best of her ability as a thanks for everything. That festival night was when they first kissed—and when he had confessed his love for her under the lantern light.

Ever since then, the pair were inseperable. The whole town knew about their love and were quick to accept her in. She stayed and got to know everyone for another year, slowly becoming part of the family with each passing week. Lenore Graham was well beloved by the town—a sweetheart who brightened up people's days when they were down, the kind of woman who would help people in need no matter what her own circumstances were. She was a brilliant woman.

So why did she have to die?

It is a scene that often replays in his nightmares—the sight of Lenore's body at the far end of his work room. He came home late from helping a neighbor with a recent break-in, repairing what was broken while helping them with the locksmith. There have been a string of break-ins in the neighborhood. Never did he think the reason why was because of her.

Her ex-fiancé held a knife in his hand. Yun-seo only recognized him from the pictures Lenore showed him when she confided in him about how awful the breakup was, and how she felt like a coward for running away after it. Apparently he came back looking for her.

When he saw Yun-seo, he lunged at him too, trying to stab him as well.

Yun-seo hit him with his wrench until he stopped moving.

When the shock wore off, he threw the corpse aside and rushed to Lenore who was barely alive. Horrified, he had no idea what to do to help her. The most he could do was stabilize her wounds, but she was barely hanging on by a thread as is with how many times she had been stabbed. He did the next best thing.

Wrapping her body in a blanket, he carried her over to his childhood friend's home, asking for her to turn Lenore into a vampire, that he did not want to lose her. Unable to shake away the desperate look in his eyes, his friend complied, worried that it would not do much for the woman.

It was a miracle she made it back alive. When he condition stabilized, he went through her memories and slowly peeled away every little idea that she was once human, and of the man who nearly killed her. The last thing he wanted was for her to wake up in shock of her transformation or the idea that she had died. His friend disagreed with his actions, but left it up to him.

When Lenore awoke, she seemed fine, and that was all that Yun-seo could ask for.

The couple stayed in his hometown for a few more years, with him keeping a close eye on her, worried someone or something would rip her away again. Ten years later, the pair married officially, and he stuck rather close to her. Once he confirmed that she seemed fine, he whisked her off to the vampiric kingdom of Utopia so they could start a new life away from it all. He could hardly bare to be in his old work room... but now that they moved far, far away, they can start anew.

He did his best to support all of her endeavors, and once she finally succeeded in fully fixing up the kingdom's blood bank, Yun-seo began to loosen up. His childhood friend followed them to the kingdom, not wanting to leave her anti-social buddy alone while his wife was working hard. She helped him set up a workshop and encouraged him to get started on his own dreams once more, and that Lenore would love it.

So he now works as one of the kingdom's best mechanics and magitech craftsmen, often being called to help around the kingdom whether the problem is big or small. He is still rather awkward, and part of him dislikes being so far away from family and his old neighborhood that he knew... but this change of pace is also nice. Yun-seo enjoys his life with Lenore, making sure to cherish her even more than he did before.
