The only memory he has left of his parents is a very vague image of his mother’s face. He doesn’t remember his father at all, nor does he know if he had siblings. Being the property of a dark mage meant that they did as they were told, even if it meant selling their son to Brazilian fight ring owners. Being a Nagual meant he brought a good price, and before he knew it, at the ripe age of 5, Joonwoo was loaded into a van with multiple other children, of varying ages, all supernatural beings just like him.Torn from everything he’d ever known, Joonwoo is thrust into the fighting ring lifestyle, forced into a cold cell, shackled so he can’t run or lash out at the guards. It’s his initial response, to attack, drawing blood several times with sharp fangs and teeth, unaware of when he shifts. It happens so suddenly that even the guards aren’t prepared, suddenly grappling with an angry black ball of fury. Due to his anger and spite for the staff, he’s labeled as two different things; dangerous… and prized.“Go get bandaged.”
“Boss, this one is crazy.”
“I know. I want him that way.”
“So what, we keep getting torn up? He’s going to get bigger you know.”
“I know. And I want him that way. Now shut up before I feed you to him.”Joonwoo already knew Portuguese, and Spanish follows quickly behind, the militia of men that work for his new owner coming from all different places. English follows when white men join, wanting to take part in the lucrative practice. When he’s deemed calm enough, he’s given the chance to walk the grounds, but Joonwoo spends that time mulling over an escape plan. When he’s not roaming, he’s in some form of a class, the fighting ring disguised as a home for troubled boys if anyone comes knocking.But at 13, he’s deemed ready to start training. The torture begins immediately, beaten by staff until he shifts, or lashes out with quickly strengthening limbs and hands to fight. When he gets to be too much to control with chains and sticks, they switch to cattle prods, which shock him and crackle when they hit his skin. This happens often, Joonwoo not one to lay down and take it. Both he and his nagual form increase in size rapidly, and it instills more fear in the staff, who keep sharp objects on them to cut him if they get too anxious.The first time he kills, it is a torturous experience. The boy he dispatches is smaller, weaker, one that doesn’t have the tenacity to survive like he does. It’s almost a move of mercy, when Joonwoo locks his jaws around his neck, suffocating the life from the boy, who refused to change. But it’s also for himself, the sting of electricity and spears urging him to action. Blood on his tongue is bitter and metallic, and it makes him retch. But… he’s rewarded with steak. Big slabs of tomahawk steaks were delivered to him, beer included. At the age of 16, he’s officially a murderer, but he’s being rewarded for it. And he’s torn. Survival is odd. It makes him do awful things, and he has to accept it… because acceptance of it means living.When his instinct to breed starts, he is returned to the cold cells, shackled to keep him away from other prisoners. It’s infuriating, every urge in his body driving him to desire a mate, to breed. His body aches and he wakes in cold sweats, stomach churning with insatiable need. Some nights all he does is scream, begging them to help. To put him out of his misery. But the right, as far as the beast within goes, is refused, and it leads to him lashing out more, and eventually, ripping the throat of a guard out. Thankfully, the torture only lasts around 5 days, but he’s left with the lingering contempt for the people who imprison him. The nightmares begin to take over at this point, usually focused around his first kill. With every kill to follow, they are added to the mix, nightmares bloody and horrid, the feeling of crunching bones under his teeth and claws too much, and he wakes up screaming. Joonwoo lingers until he’s 19, and one night, he hears about a new shipment of boys coming in. This is his time. His moment to slip out. The guards will be busy with that, and he’s gotten privileges now, able to roam more often now that he can control his shifting more.When night falls, Joonwoo takes his chance, and slips between the gap in the fence, unmanned like usual, and disappears into the night. The men attempt to chase and find him, but they lose his scent with the dogs over a waterfall. He hides out and roams, living in the wild for weeks until he wanders into town, and finds himself face to face with Columbian Mafia. They take him in, and offer him shelter and food, and doctor his wounds. In exchange, he promises to help if they let him travel, and that’s how Joonwoo became an intimidator for hire. The nightmares continue, and after his first visit with a psychiatrist, he begins abusing his medications. He drinks to numb the pain and sleep with the hope of a dreamless sleep. This is the beginning of his spiral down.Often sent out on errands to collect money, Joonwoo was the muscle to scare buyers into payment. Or force it out of them. More blood on his hands, but now he’s got money coming into them too, and he manages to work his way up into the bosses favor. One night, though, Joonwoo abused his medications and alcohol too much. It was almost his end, and he was hospitalized for an overdose and near-death experience. After a discussion with his boss, while in recovery, he is released to seek out his roots. Joonwoo never knew much about his history, and in the dark of a dank motel room somewhere in California, he spits in a tube to figure it out. Images of his mother too vague to know her face, he focuses on the results when they hit: Korean.Being addicted to his medications spurs him to suffer with his demons in the raw, rather than medicating. It takes every ounce of his willpower, but he stops using his psychological medications and only drinks from time to time, though probably still too much. It was easier to distract himself by traveling. Eventually, his travels take him through Japan, where he begins underground fighting to maintain income and his reputation. This doesn’t require him to kill, though that also requires a great deal of exercising control. His dabbling in martial arts begins here, and it helps him control himself to where he’s nearly able to fully control when he shifts, though this still fails during PTSD episodes and when he’s overly upset.Finally, Joonwoo arrived in Seoul, continuing the journey of finding his roots and finding peace. Running low on funds, Joonwoo focuses on paying rent in a shoebox apartment while he searches for his lineage here, as well as someone to work under. There’s much he still doesn’t know about himself, and he doesn’t really trust anyone to help him, but he knows he needs someone secure to be under, to look after him, to give him security and funds so he can continue his journey of self-discovery. Willfully putting himself back on the slave market, he hopes it can be the beginning of growth and recovery.
