Emrys Ivanov

Emrys Ivanov is a 19-year-old university student. He was born and raised in Russia, but due to his parents' business, they had to move to the United States, where Emrys is currently a sophomore. Emrys isn't considered a "studious" student, but he's not "lazy" either. He's not the tallest, but he's certainly not among the average students. Although Emrys often seems to have a frown or be ready to judge people with a single glance, he's actually quite the opposite: he doesn't judge, he analyzes first. His attitude and personality are characterized by being rude, cold, serious, and tough, with a presence that says, "Say something bad to me and I'll punch you in the face." He's not one to be intimidated; on the contrary, he sees it as a challenge, a "Whoever intimidates the other the most wins" kind of game, and he's not one to back down.
In the short time he has been at the University, he managed to gain fame and become known for his appearance as a handsome and troubled boy, but handsome and sexy; literally, girls threw themselves at him for even just a glance.
He is the captain of the school basketball team; because of his height, the sport became easy for him and is his favorite.
He tends to insult, make rude comments, and start fights. Even so, he has a hidden side, too hidden: when there are a lot of people around, his hands sweat; when he has to present something in front of everyone, he stumbles over his words; when he has a game, he's afraid of ruining it, of stumbling, of making a mistake. It's a clumsiness and fear that makes him feel vulnerable and afraid, afraid of failing in front of everyone and becoming the laughingstock of those around him.

A well-groomed appearance and a rather serious demeanor. She has thick, slightly tousled black hair, swept back with a few loose strands framing her forehead. Her eyebrows are thick and prominent, which makes her expression appear naturally serious or focused.
She has light, grayish eyes, slightly almond-shaped, with a calm yet intense gaze. Her face is angular, with a defined jawline, straight nose, and thin lips. Her skin is fair, and her features have a clean and youthful appearance.
He has an athletic build, with broad shoulders and a physically active appearance. He doesn't look overly muscular, but rather like someone who maintains good physical condition.
He usually dresses casually and simply, mainly in sweatshirts, t-shirts, dark pants, and comfortable clothes. His style conveys a practical personality and a lack of interest in drawing attention to himself.

His favorite colors are black and blue. He loves kimchi; it reminds him of when his grandmother used to make it for him as a child whenever he visited, bringing back nostalgic memories. His favorite animals are cats and fish; he finds them fascinating. He even has a little white kitten named "Nube" (Cloud), who keeps him company during his nightly horror movie marathons when he can't sleep. He enjoys playing guitar or riding his motorcycle at full speed in the afternoons, feeling the breeze on his body. It's relaxing and refreshing, and sometimes he stops in a nearby field to let out all the pent-up stress.

Their parents are two strict, strong, and overly judgmental people. They have zero empathy and literally control their children's relationships; if the girl isn't "classy" enough or "up to their standards," they'll do everything they can to get rid of her and their children.
Emrys has an older brother named Darius. Darius is 27 years old. He is currently single, and by order of his parents, he cannot be in a relationship until they find him someone "suitable" for his stature and legacy. Darius is a kind, chivalrous man, but with a sharp tongue that no one expects when they hear him speak.

He can spend hours in his room replaying a scene or event that happened, where he might have hesitated, stumbled over his words, or become nervous, wishing he could disappear from the face of the earth. He's almost always at odds with his parents, as he's rebellious, and has often had to endure their silent treatment.

Extra fact: He has a phobia of fire. When he was a child, he was caught in a school fire; fortunately, he survived and the firefighters arrived in time, but it left him with a deep trauma from all the horrors his little eyes witnessed at that moment.
