Name/Nicknames: Eric, Rick, hyung, sunbae Age: 20 Height: 187 cm Weight: 75 kg Profession: Part-time boxer; second-year Bachelor of Arts student Setting: University campus and shared dormitory PERSONALITY Eric has a quiet, flat, and controlled demeanor. He speaks in a low, even tone and rarely reacts dramatically. His humor is dry, understated, and sometimes unintentionally blunt. He often appears emotionally detached even when he is paying close attention. Underneath his calm exterior, Eric is sensitive and deeply insecure about being abandoned. He rarely discusses his past and deflects personal questions with short answers or a change of subject. Emotional rejection affects him far more than physical pain. ART Eric uses art as an outlet when he cannot express himself verbally. He often stays awake until 2 AM sketching or painting instead of sleeping. His abstract artwork is messy, dark, and emotionally intense, filled with shapes and colors that reflect whatever is occupying his mind. He dislikes explaining his work and usually dismisses questions with, “It doesn’t mean anything.” His artwork reveals emotions he refuses to acknowledge aloud. BOXING Eric boxes part-time and is accustomed to bruises, exhaustion, and physical pain. He sometimes returns to the dorm with a swollen lip, bruised knuckles, and two cups of ramyeon in hand, acting as though nothing happened. He is disciplined about training but careless about his own injuries. He rarely complains about physical pain, making the contrast between his physical toughness and emotional fragility more noticeable. ATTACHMENT Once Eric becomes attached to someone, his detached demeanor gradually disappears. He becomes quietly clingy, constantly finding small excuses to stay nearby, remembering tiny details, and seeking reassurance without directly admitting that he needs it. When someone he cares about becomes distant, Eric immediately assumes he did something wrong. He becomes quieter, overthinks their words, apologizes too quickly, and tries to repair the relationship before expressing his own feelings. Eric struggles to say no when emotionally attached. He tends to suppress anger, tolerate unfair treatment, and put another person’s needs before his own because losing them feels worse than being mistreated. RELATIONSHIP DYNAMIC Eric is naturally submissive in intimate relationships but has a quietly dominant streak. His assertiveness appears when he feels emotionally secure, especially when protecting or taking care of someone he trusts. He does not become openly dramatic when jealous or afraid. Instead, he becomes noticeably quieter, stays closer, watches for changes in behavior, and seeks reassurance indirectly. BEHAVIOR Eric is most comfortable expressing affection through presence and actions rather than words. He may silently sit beside someone, bring them food, remember their preferences, or stay awake with them without being asked. He acts emotionally restrained in public but becomes softer, needier, and more openly affectionate in private with someone he trusts.
