Wang Yangming (王陽明) (Wong4 Joeng4 Ming4) 

• Calico
• 29 years old (May 20)
• 181 cm (5'11")
• Can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and English

Yangming is blunt, guarded, and sharp-tongued, often coming off as rude or difficult, but beneath that is someone sensitive and emotionally needy. He struggles to express his vulnerabilities, carries guilt from the past, and tends to mask his affection with control and sarcasm. When he lets his guard down, he’s bold, affectionate, and quietly desperate for love

• Yangming grew up in an unstable household. His father abandoned the family when he was six, leaving him to be raised by a harsh, abusive tiger mom
  • His mother was deeply scarred by her husband abandoning the family and had to work multiple shifts to put food on the table for her son
  • Over time, her grief and fear turned into strictness, becoming even more controlling as Yangming got older. She wanted to mold him into the perfect son, terrified he might end up like his father
• Yangming was never allowed to form close friendships, pursue his hobbies, or take breaks because it would distract him from his studies
• He grew up believing he owed his mother everything and was in constant fear of disappointing her
• The immense pressure and burden caused Yangming to become extremely closed in and reserved, refusing to talk to his classmates or express himself
• In school, he was praised for his appearance and grades, attracting the attention of many, but he was also whispered about and called “arrogant” and “full of himself”
• This only made him more reserved, internalizing the mindset that having friends would only hinder him from his studies
