Daemon Jeong

Daddy (via Angel and Angel alone); Baemon; Dae/Day (via Eoin)

16; Junior. His birthday is March 15th, and he’s in the High School.

Dance and choreography

Grades are kept high but he doesn’t devote himself 100 percent to his studies – only to his studies in dance.

Male

Heterosexual. However because he’s so flamboyant, there are rumors that he’s actually closeted and gay. Which he isn’t. But when shitty guys believe the rumors, it’s way easier to talk to their girlfriends.

Waiter at a chain restaurant in Salem. His uniform is a black button down and slacks. He doesn’t get many hours but he saves up what he can for spending money (because half of the things he buys, he definitely does not want to tell Eoin about). Though a good waiter Daemon is very short tempered and has come close to being fired over almost losing his shit at idiotic customers numerous times.

He’s known for being a flamboyant guy, and the ‘gay best friend’ as dubbed by the majority of the sports teams. Though most guys think he gets along well with girls he’s actually very catty and rarely ever actually enjoys bonding with girls (especially ones as catty as him). However, among girls (especially those with crappy boyfriends) he’s pretty notorious for being a ‘safe’ person to fool around with because their boyfriends never suspect it. He finds it thrilling.

His best friend who he met online, Angel. He also has had dance classes with Issy and often works with her on dance numbers. He is acquainted with Pippa as well. He’s had Freddie as a teacher and thus far he’s probably Daemon’s favorite teacher – he likes the way the classes are approached in a more artistic way than just learning the steps to any given dance. Often he’ll go to Freddie for advice on his own routines if Freddie is willing to listen.

There are many people who he dislikes. He dislikes Cliff, Noah, Shyanne, Robyn, ect ect.

Single

Cheerleading

Very skinny with long legs; he’s about 5’9”

Black, short and in a shaggy cut on his head. Occasionally he’ll wear a wig for a performance, or for fun, ‘just because’.

Brown/black, and he has prescription glasses that he’s almost always wearing. He doesn’t like contacts much at all and can barely see without his glasses.

Hipster/Preppy. He’s always fashionable.

Korean-American

Daemon was conceived by surprise, and his mother wanted nothing to do with him. She died shortly after labor, and her parents wanted nothing to do with the baby either, so custody fell onto the willing hands of his father, who wanted to raise his son despite the fact he was born so late in his life.

Daemon grew up knowing mostly his older brother – 15 years his senior – to take care of him. Their father wound up working most of the time and thus young Daemon only really saw him for dinner every night when he finally came home. When Daemon was about 10 years old, his father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Daemon didn’t know anything about it at first and though his brother tried to explain the concept, it went in one ear and out the other. Most of the time, Daemon spent the time he didn’t have to do homework on the internet, watching YouTube videos. Many times, they were choreography videos. Sometimes his father would take him to go see a movie. Daemon signed up for Club Penguin that year and that was when he met Angel, the two both trolling the same nine-year-old couple who wanted some ‘private time’ in a corner of a public server. They exchanged skypes and made a hobby of being trolls.

As Daemon slowly became a teenager, his father’s condition grew worse. Sean began to forget things that had already happened. Daemon found it irritating that he had to explain things they’d done together to Sean – and though he’d never admit it out loud, he was also hurt his father so often forgot things they’d done but remembered things about Eoin (likely only because Eoin was older and Sean had spent more time with him prior). Progressively Sean’s memory grew worse until one morning he didn’t know who Daemon was entirely. That caused Daemon to lose his temper and yell and even almost get violent – to the point the police were called and Eoin had to return from work to a mess. That was the point that Sean was put into an assisted living home and Daemon was sent to therapy.

Daemon loathed therapy with every fiber of his being. He was unreceptive and snapped at his therapist often. His older brother hated to see him like that, especially when Daemon refused to go and see their father in the assisted living home. It was Eoin who often went to check up on their father and make sure he was doing all right. He took control of the household – which he’d been gradually seizing since their father was diagnosed. Daemon only talked about how he felt to one person – his online friend Angel who he often complained to about his father forgetting all sorts of ‘bullshit’ (but never quite opening up about the diagnosis).

Holidays were the only exception that Daemon was forced by Eoin to go to visit their father on. Every time they went, Daemon usually stormed out before he was supposed to or snapped at their father. This caused a huge rift between Eoin and him – Eoin couldn’t believe how insensitive Daemon was being and Daemon just got even angrier at that.

The only thing that seemed to calm Daemon down in any sense was dancing. Unlike his brother, Eoin made every effort to keep Daemon as a part of their father’s life. Often when Daemon danced, Eoin would record it and show their father when he went in every week to visit him. Every time he saw the passion with which Daemon moved in the videos, Sean was undoubtedly moved and eventually funded Daemon’s trip to Metric.

Moving away from New York was something Daemon didn’t want to do. He thrived in the city and loved the little dance studio he was a part of. But when he realized the opportunity to go to Metric was an opportunity to make a career out of his dancing, he agreed to go.

Freshman year was an experience. Immediately Daemon was picked on because of his attitude and flamboyancy, but rather than complaining about it, Daemon held his ground and didn’t let word bother him. As a result of his confidence he gained more respect among his peers, and by the time the year was almost halfway over, he was encouraged to join the cheerleading squad by a sophomore girl, Sarah. She was cute, pudgy, and blonde. Daemon jokingly hit on the whole cheerleading squad but the general consensus was that he had to be gay. When Sarah’s idiotic boyfriend at the time, Tony, had been caught with another girl she sought comfort from Daemon, eventually expressing that if he wasn’t gay he’d be the perfect boyfriend. Though he said he wasn’t gay, Sarah didn’t believe him and laughed about it. Though he kept insisting he wasn’t she didn’t believe him until she demanded that he prove it – and he kissed her. The kiss quickly escalated and before he even knew what was happening, Sarah led him to her room and he lost his virginity. After that, Sarah and Tony got back together. Sarah is the only person who Daemon has ever come close to having a crush on, but he moved on from her rather quickly and became the ‘other guy’ – and no matter how many women he slept with, his classmates all believed he was gay and never believed the stories about his sex life (save the girls who spread the rumors among one another: thankfully for Daemon, he has a natural gift at the action).

His sophomore year and her freshman year was when his online best friend, Angel, came to Metric. He was surprised to see her but glad to – and once she came to the school he really came into himself. While remaining popular, Daemon did not hide his disdain for his ‘friends’ from Angel. He got a job at a chain restaurant in Salem working as a host, and was offered the opportunity to become a waiter at the beginning of this year. Serving is more of a pain in the ass for Daemon; he is not a people person and doesn’t foresee this job lasting. However he does make good money through tips and uses it to spend on his and Angel’s recreational activities, as they need it. When it comes to the social scene he's still very much a part of it but acts as more of an instigator for gossip than a friend to anyone. He has little patience for people and couples, and his peers.

When Sarah graduated at the end of last year, Daemon went to her graduation, and that's when his brother found out about his crush (and reputation at school). He doesn't keep in contact with Sarah anymore, with her long gone at her career of choice and still (to his knowledge) seeing Tony. Still, Daemon finds satisfaction in being the reason Sarah was ever unfaithful to her boyfriend. It gives him a twisted satisfaction.

• He has a very thick New York accent.
• He needs things to be as clean as physically possible most of the time. He often gets teased for this but he doesn’t care – he simply cannot think unless any room he’s standing in is organized and clean. He always has sanitizer on him as well.
• His morals are... loose is a good word for it. He has no qualms with cheating and in fact encourages it. While he typically hooks up with girls who are in crappy relationships, he doesn’t care if the relationship is happy or founded on love, or if the girl only asks to fool around with him on a whim. He probably wouldn’t try to talk any kind of sense into someone who just wanted to cheat out of spite even if he knew they'd regret it after. Most girls who actually reciprocate his advances are ones in troubled relationships or who are unsatisfied with theirs.
• He is more attracted to plus size women than thinner women and his brother often teases him about being a chubby chaser but that’s never bothered Daemon much. However he will pretty much sleep with any girl who fits his standards.
• He is a vegetarian.
• He knows how to read/write/understand Korean, but he is awful at speaking it.
• The song lyrics are from We Don’t Have to Dance by Andy Black.
