Eric s'est tourné vers ses recrues pendant que Ice lui parlait. Il détestait quand le plan a changé sur lui et il détestait vraiment les surprises. Le fait qu'il y ait eu un changement ne pouvait signifier qu'une chose. Il s'est retourné à Ice avant d'avoir hurlé pour que ses recrues aillent avec elle. Il pensait que ce serait plus facile si tout le groupe était ensemble. Il pensait que ça fonctionnait mieux s'ils étaient tous un grand groupe. Il préférait ça. "Vous avez entendu la jolie dame. Suivons-la." Il a dit de sortir avec elle. "Je devine que le réalisateur a changé la danse." Il a tout simplement expliqué.
Dean a résisté à ses deux coéquipiers. "Huh... Ce lot ne semble pas si bien organisé. » Il s'est plaint alors qu'ils quittaient la zone.

”My favorite part about startups is that no one gives a damn whether I come into work wearing PJs or an animal suit. My least favorite part about startups is the glorification of ownership. I don't believe in that shit.”
Rooke is tall and lithe, standing at 6’ 1’’, and doesn’t have a whole lot of mass to him. He likes to wear his hair up in a bun when he’s working. He often wears stylish and minimalistic clothing, influenced by his attempted (failed) stint as a model, and is unblemished except for a birthmark between the dimples of his lower back.

Personality
He’s intelligent, fiery, and passionate about whatever moves him. His particular interests lie in programming/hacking, getting into debates with others, and meeting other people (despite considering himself an introvert). Other hobbies include voracious reading, rock climbing, and Netflix. He enjoys the occasional party, but is relatively austere and against consumerism. Living for many years in San Francisco and rebounding from his restricted facade of a self in Korea, he’s become openly liberal, anarchistic, increasingly passionate about social justice and inequality.
He’s sarcastic and doesn’t take himself too seriously, but if you press too hard against his beliefs, he’ll press back with scathing defensiveness. The first impressions of him are that he is intelligent, cool, and slightly intimidating with regard to his straightforwardness. He’s not so great at dealing with emotions, and tends to get snappy/evasive when he’s angry or sad or confused. Once you get to know him, you also see the more arrogant, quick to judge side of him that is confident in his work and smarts. Due to the way he’s grown up, he has never had any best friends in Korea, but has been making progress with his emotional intelligence/relationships after arriving to the US.
History
Rooke was born the only child to a upper class family in Seoul, Korea, where, from day one, his parents pushed him to extremes in order for him to attain the best grades, manners, and behavior—to be the perfect son. It was a stifling childhood that consisted of hours of study and discipline. Needing to escape, he convinced them to let him study in the U.S, and he was sent to a private high school. He took his first computer programming class as a freshman and was hooked; he taught himself various languages in his free time, which he had plenty of, as the curriculum in the U.S seemed much more relaxed than what he was used to.
Rooke dropped out of before his second year at Stanford as a computer science major to move to San Francisco and pursue entrepreneurship with a couple of his cofounders. They had been accepted into the Thiel Fellowship, and with the provided grant, him and his friends were no longer dependent on their families. They worked diligently on a food sharing platform for a few years, with him as the lead programmer, living in a community house with other young hackers and innovators. He learned a lot about taking risks, compromise, and himself during this time of self actualization. When their company was bought out, he and his cofounders went their separate ways, and he turned towards small scale investment with a new partner.
His current investments are at a standstill, due to his unfocused business acumen in choosing and supporting startups. Despite his previous successes, he feels lost and ulitmately purposeless and blames this on the way his parents raised him—to judge success by what others expect and to rely on external validation.
Character Relations
Other:
Fun fact, he tried to make an occupation out of being an ulzzang (it means best face or good-looking. This is a real thing.) by self marketing while he lived in Korea, but that never really got anywhere. He’s also an eloquent potty mouth.
