OOC Character Notes
In contrast to my not-here-anymore! character rant earlier, I decided to a little list so people stopping by can tell easier WHAT THE HELL I AM DOING.
1. Aniki vs Hyung - I felt using "hyung" (male to male term for "older brother") since it felt/is more, well, Korean.
2. Respect to Elders - Check. Somewhat. Seems to not respect so much elders if they're friends or certain kinds of family.
3. Care for Family - Check. This Korea will have somewhat high values concerning family relationships. Total family guy. In Korea, domestic violence is pretty much an everyday thing, to the point that it's almost everywhere in Korean television. Korea's also got a history of "domestic violence" and hatred, so he does not like it AT ALL if it's happening to one of his friends, etc. In fact, he's probably paranoid.
4. Calling everyone by their Korean names - Definitely check! If you see my Hetalol Booblist, a number of Korean names for each nation has been provided. In any RP this Korea will be in, he will refer to EVERYONE by their Korean names. But for starters I will probably OOCnote or whatever the names until people learn or something. Hopefully this won't confuse you guys.
5. Hyung's breasts - Not so much. SORRY GUYS! Though Yong Soo is a 15-16 year old with RAGING HORMONES MOSTLIKELY , this whole "oppa (female to male term for "older brother") vs oppai (Japanese for breasts)" gag isn't much from the heart of Korea. I'm not gonna COMPLETELY abolish it though. Just going to have it less frequent. Besides, the joke's getting pretty old.
6. Claiming to be the origin of things - Only when it's potentially amusing or historically accurate, or whichever. Korea is smart enough to not claim EVERYTHING. And there is a LOT of truth to the claiming-origin-of-Japan's-language thing. (Thank you Viet-mun for showing me the article~)
