☞ THEM ☜

— background:
  ♡ yichao was born to a middle class family in the chinese city qiqihar, on the first day of winter in 1995. his mother, lifen, worked as a science technician at his school and his father, wenjin, worked in the chinese branch of an american company. he lived a peaceful life, and made a few friends, playing football in his spare time. he loved qiqihar as it was a massive city and he loved adventures: he'd usually wander off with his friends and worry his parents sick.
   when he reached the age of 10, in 2003, his father left his mother because he was allegedly having an affair. him and his mother moved to khabarovsk, russia, in order to have a new start. his mother worked at another school, fortunately not the one he attended. his younger sister daria-zan was born in early 2004 - he specifically remembers trying to make her first words to be "get bent". he spent a lot of time writing short stories and pinning them on his wall, and would get freaked out when anyone asked what they were about. he found writing about the new city very interesting, and sometimes he'd even wander out to unknown places for inspiration.
   being a foreigner, yichao didn't know much russian to begin with. he gradually picked up russian phrases and got himself the nickname "Декабрь" (dekabr), which means "december". when asked to introduce himself, he said, "я йишао, я мальчик декабря" which means "i am yichao, i am december".
   he made friends with the only other chinese person in the class; adrien wang. adrien taught him russian after school and they became best friends pretty quickly. they often spoke in chinese to each other, and it became some kind of code they used in class - mainly to tell each other the answers in math.
   when yichao turned 18, he made the choice to go to beijing for college. leaving behind his friends and his family, he attended renmin university of china; he never looked back.
   while he was there, he showed skills for coding and such during a course he took, and of course, the professor noticed all of this. he was particularly skilled at computing, although he didn't look like it, and his professor would often praise him for this and let him off the extra work. everything after that happened very quickly; one day he was contacted by the organisation, because his skills were advanced and he'd make a good spy, and something in the back of his mind said, "your professor has something to do with this hit". he decided to have a look at what the organisation was about, and seemingly got dragged in by the promising nature of it all. while he was away with the organisation, he told his family he'd been scouted by an entertainment company. he became a spy in training, really, and when the news came that he and another lot of spies would be debuting as a co-ed kpop group, he ran home and told his family that he was finally debuting. his "debut" would mark his career as an official spy, so he worked hard in dancing and such, treating it with great determination, as if one day it may slip away from him.

— family:
  ♡ mother | 51 | science technician | yichao's mom just wants the best for him, but he can't see that. earlier into their childhood, she supported him in his fake trainee days but used to tell him to go to a real university and earn a different degree, because she didn't think he'd ever debut. he knows this, and that's the reason why he stopped talking to her when he did debut, because she didn't believe. the fact that he was lying about going to work didn't matter to him. more recently, they've become closer, and talk every day, even if it isn't a long conversation. they don't agree on many things, but they've learnt to put that past them.
  ♡ father | 50 | businessman | yichao only knew his father for ten years, and hasn't spoken to him since. he never answers questions about him.
  ♡ sister | 12 | student | yichao and his sister, daria-zan, have a better relationship. when she was born, he took it as his own responsibility to look after her, and made her grow up under his own morals. she's a cheerful girl who's always interested in what idol life is like, and swears she'll become an idol when she grows up. when yichao visits her, he tells her stories of the other members and what its like to talk to big groups like exo and snsd, and she listens intently. he likes showing her videos of the members being memes, and she sends him videos of her friends being memes, and of course, they send memes to each other. she features on his instagram a lot, and has gained a fair lot of followers because of it. they have a good relationship, really.

— personality:
  ↬ yang yichao is what you would call a natural leader: it's easy for him to take charge in most situations. it's normal for him to make a plan and say firmly, "this is the way we're going to do it", regardless of how far-fetched his idea is. no matter how much you don't like the way he wants things to be, his smooth communication skills and subtle persuasions will have the whole group agreeing with him.
   he's proved himself as useful not only as a leader but as a communicator. his knowledge in mandarin, cantonese, russian and english can prove helpful when tackling foreigners, like when he persuaded a chinese security guard to let them inside a building. despite this, you'll never find him doing the talking when faced with koreans; he leaves it up to everyone else to do the work.
   he can also be a bit hot-tempered at times, even if you haven't done anything wrong. you can tell he's in a mood when he sits down, crosses his arms and won't reply to anything. this kind of behaviour happens several times a week, and the rest of the members have accepted this as some kind of weekly routine.
   occasionally, these emotions will spiral out of control. when this happens, it's best to shove him in his room and leave him alone. eventually, he'll fall asleep no matter what the time is. this usually happens after he throws all the feathers from his pillow around the room, realises he's going too far, and decides to take a nap on the floor. that also means the room is occupied for the next 12 hours, so his roommate is forced to sleep in the living room.
   he's also a major hypocrite. you leave things to the last minute? you'll get shouted at. if he leaves things to the last minute, it's because he's stressed, he's got a lot of things on his mind and you can shut your mouth promptly. you say something incriminating on public tv? he'll sit you down and lecture you. if he does it? it wasn't his fault, let it go. if you drop your ice cream, shut the fuck up, it's just an ice cream. if he drops his ice cream, the world must stop what they're doing and get him  a new one immediately. living with yichao is like living with a giant baby.
   he also refuses to admit when he's wrong, most of the time. he will churn out tons of excuses just so you can't get a word in edgeways, make a loud noise and sit in another room to "think things through". he accepts that he's problematic, but makes no move to change his behaviour.
   he finds it easy to tell what others are thinking and feeling, and likes to freak people out with it. if he knows they're lying, he'll stare at them uncomfortably.
   all of the above means he's basically a walking meme for the fans, who often refer to him as 'no chill chao'. airport previews of blackout pose as new material for yichao memes, as it's possible to compare his green hair and orange jacket to a carrot. he pretends not to be bothered by the memes, but secretly has them saved to his phone, and he likes to look at them when he's sad.
   he also goes out of his way to embarrass others, like when he was on skype with his sister, giving her a tour of the dorm, and said very loudly, "whoever that is touching yourself in the bathroom, i can hear you!" in reality, all the other members were in the living room, and yichao had to climb out the window in order not to get hit. it's been said that he enjoys laughing at others so when others laugh at him, he feels good about it. this leads him to be quite childish, especially in public, when the behaviour gets multiplied by ten.
   those who don't know yichao at all see him as serious and straightforward. it's hard not to agree with that when in public, he's usually sitting with his legs crossed, wearing sunglasses, sipping a starbucks with no expression on his face. he doesn't make much noise in front of people he doesn't know, preferring to communicate using eye and body language. he's the type of guy you don't want to sit next to on the bus, because you're intimidated by his unwelcoming stature and blank facial expression.
   when in the company of girls, he's well aware of them, and goes the extra mile just to look eligible. he'll often flirt with them jokingly, comment on people walking by, and generally act like a rich hoe, who's good looking and knows it very well. this kind of behaviour only happens with girls, and it's very entertaining to watch him like that. when with the other girl members, he sees them as friends and possibly sisters, but sometimes he'll compliment them and walk away as if he just scored.
   now, despite his icy aura, and problematic attitude toward most people, he often shows his soft, caring side, but only in front of his members and love interest. when he's not pissed off, he's the softest bean you'll ever know.
   after coming home from practise, or from a performance, he'll throw on his favourite red sweater, curl up in a ball on the sofa and watch stranger things on netflix. you're not allowed to disturb him, unless you're coming to give him hot chocolate, or you're gonna snuggle with him. after this, he's guaranteed to be happy, and trust me, yichao's smile is the cutest thing you've ever seen.
   he's actually in touch with his caring side, but it doesn't show through in front of people. if it did, people would get suspicious, because he wouldn't be behaving like the yichao they know. you can tell it's showed if you fall asleep on the couch and wake up with a blanket around you; or if you can't afford the jacket you really wanted from the shop, and you find it sitting on your bed after a day's practise. there's a 99% chance yichao put it there. if you ask who it was, he'll smile and whisper, "it was the fairies". one thing to know is not to confront him about it, because he'll suddenly get very flustered, and your chance of being visited by "the fairies" again gets lowered.
   when his caring side actually comes out publicly, it doesn't last long. for example, the time he got into a fight with someone, and said "i love you, man" after making up with him. they just looked at him weirdly, making yichao say coldly, "what's so interesting, bitch?"
   in short, yichao is a very emotional person. you can catch him in a good mood, or in a bad one. either way, there's nothing stopping you from loving him irrationally.

☞ WE ☜

— sexuality:
  ♡ heterosexual

— love interest + backup:
  ♡ f(x) luna + red velvet irene

— why should you be together:
  ♡ one of the quotes from grey's anatomy that yichao admires most is, "it's better to be alone and feel successful than to be with someone and feel like a failure". and while that is true, most people would rather feel like a failure and be with their significant other. yichao is one of those people. he is visually impaired (not blinded) by love and is prepared to risk a lot of things in order to be happy. that's what he wants to do: take risks. he knows the whole relationship is one big risk but he doesn't care, because it has luna in it, and luna is the most important aspect.

— relationship:
  ♡ luna and yichao met on a flight, a few months into yichao's career. they had both been given seats next to each other unknowingly; yichao sat the closest to the window. when luna sat down, he thought, "when i get home, i'll tell everyone i sat next to a beautiful girl". they spent the next few minutes in silence, until yichao decided to strike up a conversation with her by asking, "where you flying to?", then realising they're flying to the same place. he didn't realise she was f(x)'s luna until she told him her name was park sunyoung, and he said, "pretty name. just like f(x) luna's, i think" and she said, "silly, i am luna!" she also let him call her 'sunyoung' for the rest of the flight.
   just before they landed, she asked for an autograph ("i've never sat next to an idol on a plane before") and yichao politely accepted, writing not only his signature down but his phone number. he saw her look down at the paper in disbelief, and he winked.
   the next day, he received a text from her, saying how much she enjoyed sitting next to him in the plane. they began texting back and forth for a week, until yichao suggested meeting up sometime, and sunyoung replied with, "it's a date".
   their relationship is quite simple; they like each other and go on dates regularly. they're very honest with each other and are free to rant about the problems they have, because that's how they roll.

— scenes with love interest:
  ♡ yichao taking sunyoung to his hometown khabarovsk, and later saint petersburg. he keeps this a secret from the group members and tells them he's visiting family.
  ♡ yichao staying up all night with slot 2, telling him how much he loves sunyoung and a blow-by-blow account of everything they did together. when sweetheart eventually fell asleep, he told the rest of the story to his fish, christmas
  ♡ yichao and sunyoung being stuck in an elevator alone for several hours (i'll let you decide what happens there, i trust you)
  ♡ sunyoung taking yichao on a rollercoaster for the first time, sunyoung enjoying it to the fullest while yichao screams and cries his eyes out

— which member would you be close with:
  ♡ slot 10 because they are both natural leaders and find it easy to take charge. he finds it easy to talk to her and practise his flirting techniques with her and talks about luna all the time to her. they both like to intimidate other people (sometimes slot 2 joins in on this) and come up with roasts for the group all the time.

☞ THEY ☜

— scene requests:
  ♡ the group going to the beach and throwing sand at each other and generally having a good time
  ♡ the group engaging in a game of laser tag and splitting into two teams, trying to eradicate each other
  ♡ a member making too much noise during a group meeting, making yichao resort to putting duct tape over his mouth. after the meeting, the member takes off the duct tape and says, “that was the kinkiest hour of my life”
  ♡ a scandal wherein rumours of yichao leaving the group surface, after he stayed behind in china for three extra days after they performed there; and after he was seen with his other idol friends when the majority of the group were on a day out.
  ♡ the group having a huge fight, yichao and someone else sleeping in the kitchen because they don't want to be upstairs with the others

— is there anything you would like to add:
  ♡ not that i can think of! i'll let you know if there's anything, and if you need any particular information, just pm me, bc i'll most likely give it to you.

— password:
  ♡ heart attack (aoa song?)

— note to me:
