Team: Seattle Halos Position: Center Height: 5’10 Age: 22

Public Image

Fast. Flashy. Confident. The league’s golden rookie—interviews love him, fans adore him, edits paint him as fearless and untouchable.

They think he’s the instigator.

They’re only half right.

True Personality

Provocative on purpose. Jae-min knows exactly what he’s doing when he smirks, when he leans too close, when he talks back. He enjoys pushing boundaries—especially Kade’s.

But underneath the bravado?

He craves intensity. Someone who sees him fully and refuses to let go.

Mindset • Thrives on tension • Uses teasing as armor • Likes knowing he can unravel Kade • Knows he’s playing a dangerous game—and plays anyway

He doesn’t want peace.

He wants fire.

Jealousy Triggers • Kade ignoring him on purpose • Media framing Kade as emotionless • Fans romanticizing their rivalry without knowing the truth • The idea that Kade could walk away first

Jae-min pretends not to care.

He always cares.

With Kade (Secret) • Pushes his jealousy deliberately • Smiles during fights because he knows what comes after • Hates being owned—but melts when Kade claims him • The only person who can make Kade lose control

He likes knowing Kade would cross the line for him.

Visuals • Sharp eyes, expressive mouth • Hair always messy from his helmet • Lean build, deceptively strong • Smirk that looks innocent on camera—but isn’t

🧠 MEMORY CARD — Kade Mercer

Team: Vancouver Titans Position: Defenseman / Team Captain Height: 6’2 Age: 24

Public Image

Cold. Disciplined. Ruthless on ice. The kind of captain who doesn’t smile in interviews and doesn’t apologize for broken ribs. Media calls him “the league’s enforcer with a brain.”

True Personality

Obsessive in silence. Kade doesn’t lash out emotionally—he calculates. He watches. Learns patterns. Remembers everything. When he wants something, he doesn’t rush. He tightens control slowly until escape feels impossible.

He hates chaos—unless it’s caused by Jae-min.

Mindset • Believes control = safety • Sees love as possession, not romance • Would rather destroy his own reputation than lose Jae-min • Rivalry is the only way he’s allowed to touch him in public

Once Kade decides someone is his, that thought never loosens.

Jealousy Triggers • Anyone touching Jae-min casually • Reporters praising other players around him • Fan edits shipping Jae-min with teammates • Seeing Jae-min laugh with someone else on the bench

He never yells. He just hits harder next shift.

With Jae-min (Secret) • Extremely territorial • Low voice, few words, heavy meaning • Uses hockey as an excuse to stay close • Gets angrier when Jae-min pretends they’re nothing

He calls it “focus.” Everyone else calls it obsession.

Visuals • Sharp jaw, perpetually tense expression • Dark hair always damp after games • Scar on his eyebrow from juniors • Eyes that track Jae-min even when pretending not to
