Jaesun

Aloof. Competitive. Self-reliant. Alert. Impatient. Arrogant. Persistent. Resolute.

Younger Jaesun was quick to befriend others without serious attachment, but the current Jaesun is more aloof. He doesn't mind being around others who are working for a common goal, but drives himself to go beyond anyone's expectations. He's quite competitive, but quiet in comparing himself to others. He would much rather rely on himself than to trust things to others, especially when it's anything that he considers particularly important. Jaesun rarely confides his thoughts in anyone and would rather act after some decent thought than to rush into things or overthink situations. He's not very patient with himself or others, and is especially harsh on himself when he doesn't measure up to his own expectations and ambitions. Jaesun is easy to get along with when left to his own devices, but becomes quiet and defensive whenever anyone tries to get close to him. He doesn't want to get anyone involved with his own affairs, but at the same time becomes very observant and likely to offer advice when someone else has issues of their own.

Fair skin, dark brown eyes, dark brown hair. His hairstyle is almost always arranged so that a potion of it covers his left eye, which is photosensitive and starts to hurt when exposed to too much light. His sense of style comes naturally to him, often a sort of trendy casual that suits him well. Jaesun generally appears very cool and collected in his demeanor, sometimes with just enough of a tough edge to draw a little bit of extra attention that he isn't necessarily looking for.

As a child, Jaesun stood out for his very brash and almost flamboyant personality. He got on well with most other children for a while, but not all of them were appreciative of his over-exuberant manner and enthusiasm for playing rough. His parents wisely redirected his attention towards sports, enrolling him with various different local leagues and teams as the seasons changed. One summer when he was seven, Jaesun attended a week-long soccer camp for children. An hour or so after arriving, the staff experienced an issue with their computer systems and lost information on nearly half of the children attending. It took a great deal of time before everything was sorted out, and no one realized that Jaesun had disappeared along with his information. For his part, Jaesun explored around the camp until he found an empty computer room. He was about to walk right out again when a screen lit up with some sort of glitched game caught his attention. The graphics worsened when he got closer, and then the screen flashed too brightly for him to see anything. When his vision cleared, Jaesun found himself in some sort of empty storage shed. Confused, but unafraid, he let himself out and discovered a large forest that he'd never seen before. He decided to continue his exploration, and it wasn't long before he was utterly lost and found himself face-to-face with an extraordinarily huge bug that gave chase. Jaesun ran, his smaller size working in his favor as the creature wasn't very precise in its attempts to catch him, but he ultimately found himself cornered. As he was still scrambling to figure out a way to escape, a second creature appeared and drove off the first. Jaesun found himself rescued by a red-headed man named Mike, who seemed just as surprised to find him there. Mike explained to Jaesun that they were in the digital world and took him back to the shed which he'd first appeared in. To his confusion, there was no working pathway back to the real world from there, and so Mike was left with no option other than to bring the boy along with him. Jaesun found it to be a grand adventure and asked multiple questions along the way. They arrived in Primary Village, where Mike got ahold of his allies and tried to come up with a solution. When he went searching for Jaesun again, he found that the boy had been drawn to one of the eggs in the village. When Jaesun touched it, it hatched into a small blue Digimon. Mike wasted no time in saying it was time to go, and Jaesun simply patted the creature before leaving to follow Mike again.

Over the next few days, Mike made repeated attempts to send Jaesun back, and Jaesun proceeded to have a grand time meeting Digimon while exploring and traveling with Mike. They arrived in Infinity City while some celebration was being arranged; Jaesun skipped over paying attention to the details of the event, instead spending his time befriending new Digimon and ultimately teaching a group of local Rookies how to play soccer (or rather, just a crude version that barely hung on to the rules at all). Their playtime was interrupted by sudden ominous weather, during which Mike hunted Jaesun down and hurriedly ushered him to a safe location. Jaesun didn't fully understand what was going on, only that there was some sort of danger, many who were panicking, and Mike speaking to his allies very insistently about getting him sent back home. The group of them got something worked out; Jaesun suddenly understood that something terrible was about to happen to them, but didn't have the chance to truly protest before he found himself tumbling across the floor of the computer lab he'd originally left from. Having returned right at the end of camp when his parents came to collect him, Jaesun was quite upset to be leaving. His parents understood the situation as him missing the new friends he'd made, and assured him that he could go back soon enough. Back at home, he took a sudden interest in computers and various technology; his parents were at first pleased with it, but then concerned when he grew increasingly frustrated and unable to tell them a story that really made proper sense. When school started again, Jaesun took out his frustrations by becoming more aggressive and competitive in his sports playing, and his usual group of friends grew more distant from his sudden determination. Jaesun continued playing sports over the next several years, showing a preference for soccer and joining his high school team for a while. Time dulled the urgency of trying to return to the Digital world to find out what had happened to Mike, but Jaesun didn't ever give up on his attempts. He one day found a device that looked exactly how he remembered the one that Mike carried, and since decided to always carry it around with him.
