Perhaps it was his repeated groans of "Fuck, I don't want to be here" or the college degree waiting for him in the United States, but some celestial force took pity on him and brought him to the island at the tender age of twenty. The only things he brought with him were the clothes on his back, and the phone in his pocket. [attr="class","rcappleft2"] [attr="class","rcappleft3"] [attr="class","rcappleft4"] [attr="class","rcapplefttitle"]CHARACTER ABILITIES [attr="class","rcappleft51"] INTENSE TECHNOLOGICAL SKILLSWhile quite human, while on Earth, Parker partook in many activities that saw him get incredibly skilled with all manners of technology. He was halfway through a computer science degree when he was plucked from Seoul, which, in addition to going to a science high school, means that's he's really great at working with them. While the words "computer science degree" don't mean much without an actual diploma to show for it (and few islanders having any knowledge of American institutions), he had the class record for building the fastest computer the fastest. Parker is someone you want fixing your computer. Or game system. Or anything, really. If you've got it, there's a really good chance he can fix it.

Your eldest brother begins business school before you're born, and you never really spend much time with him. When he comes home to visit, your family compares you to how Kyung-ho was as a boy. He was quiet, precocious, and behaved well, traits you seem to follow him in. You're reading by the age of three, doing middle-school level math by six. Endlessly, they expect great things of you, in the vein of your brother, but he simply ruffles your hair and tells you to keep up the good work.[break][break] Unlike Kyung-ho, Seo-yeon, your older sister, is vivacious and holds your hand every step of the way. Barely in college, she holds your hand as you leave kindergarten and go to elementary school, and is the one who takes you on playdates or other social events. She's the one who helps you with your homework, consoles you when another boy in your class picks a fight with you, and explains what it meant when a girl kissed you on the cheek. Seo-yeon becomes a third parent, and when she graduates college and moves to Gwangju to work, it's hard. Anything that was once interesting to you seems to lose its meaning, and you lack vigor for your schoolwork. ("It's too early for him to become depressed," the therapist tells your mother. "He's probably just bored in school. Try introducing him to higher level concepts at home.")[break][break] So your parents enlist Seung-gi, your older brother, to expose you to higher level schooling. Seven years older than you, he was always in the awkward position of being between you and the elder two, and has always been a bit of an enigma to you. Between the time he spends at school or in the hagwon, you're not sure where he finds the time to teach you everything he's learning, but the new connection you form with him makes him your favorite sibling. You assist with his homework, or grab him snacks, and in return he's honest with you. He tells you everything you haven't heard about the world, of corruption and of gray areas. A firecracker, he's passionate about his issues and soon you share his intensity. You work harder than ever, and your parents are pleased. They expect a lot of the both of you, and you know that you'll live up to that.[break][break] But when he doesn't get into a top three school, like your older siblings, your parents don't take it well. Seung-gi moves out, and you lock yourself into your room when you're not at school. The most common word in your vocabulary becomes fuck, and you gain a reputation as an asshole to everyone around you. ("This is what they call teenage angst," the therapist tells your mother. "Don't worry about it. He'll do better than Seung-gi.") You study hard, sure, except the motivation now is not to impress your parents, but to be rid of them and the system that you're pretty sure broke your brother. By the time high school rolls around, you gain acceptance to a science school. There, you discover computers.[break][break] Computers are something you get introduced to by way of class, but you find them endlessly interesting nonetheless. They aren't flawed, like humans; if they're broken, you can fix them. As well you do, because suddenly all the computers at your house are running at 150%. It doesn't take long for you to realize that you can make a career out of it, and suddenly the option presents itself to apply to school in the United States. The process is daunting, and more than a little taxing, filled with doubt about getting in (because if you don't, you've missed the CSATs and you're kind of royally fucked.) Luckily, your shiny acceptance letter comes, and with it your freedom.[break][break] College is hard. Scrap what anyone told you about going to school back in Korea, because English is difficult. The words swim around on the pages of your textbooks, and where you once were top of your class, you struggle to stay afloat here. The classes where you work with numbers and codes are easier, because much of the terminology is familiar to you. But the rest of your classes are hard enough, and when you're about to take a year to go study back home, of all places, your roommate asks you whether you have to serve in the military, or if they got rid of the law.[break][break] You spiral downwards from there pretty quickly. The military is no place for you, and the probability that you'll be assigned to a softer unit is slim. Whenever you elect to go, all the walls you've built up will fall down, along with you. And it's not a matter of if, it's a when. [break][break] (When you're waiting the next summer, degree on hold, eating your final meal before going for conscription, something grabs you and suddenly you're not in Seoul. That's fine.)[break][break] In the next few minutes, someone finds you and brings you into a room, and you're confused. All your language skills fail you, and when you try to tell them your name, they botch it. Now, to the island, you are Parker Park, computer programmer/engineer/what have you. When you come home from assisting people with computers, you live in a small studio apartment, and try to build a better computer, in an attempt make contact with your government. Wherever you are, you should find a way to alert the authorities that you're alive and well, so as not to worry anyone.[break][break] It is in this project that you find yourself in a violent fight with a small blond girl for the last processor available on the island. You let loose on her for nigh on an hour, until she concedes defeat and you leave the store, victorious. This happens a lot, because good parts are in short supply and of course you have to fight a girl for them. Penny, as you learn her name is, seems to share the same interest in computers you have, but with completely different reasoning. She's interesting company, your first friend on the island. When you hear talk of her parents kicking her out, you sign a lease with her to share an apartment, with promise of lower rents and less dirty dishes to clean.[break][break] What you wished you'd known about, back in those good early days, was Percy. How he ended up in your apartment is a mystery, but suddenly the rent was being split three ways. Waking up to a perky ginger every day had not been something planned, but when he decided to eschew his own bed and climb into yours, you get a larger comforter.[break][break] Now, if only Penny could leave the apartment, Percy might become a little more tolerable.
