a p p e a r a n c ex // x Dragons are a species of strict tradition. When Daeyoung emerged as the god Yongmul, it was required he change his mortal appearance to better suit the vessel of such a powerful dragon god. Dae now dresses in a black traditional Korean hanbok and wears his hair long and in a bun. Daeyoung doesn't mind the clothing, though his hair is seldom done up properly and he treats the hanbok like leisure clothes instead of the formal clothes they should be. Living primarily in The Pantheon, Daeyoung seldom changes from this attire unless he is visiting the mortal world. There, Yongmul allows him to dress a little more casually in order to blend in. For Dae that means a suit or well-fitted sweater and pants, and short-cropped hair that he styles loosely.

Dragon Formx // The full extent of Yongmul's powers exist within his original form. Daeyoung can tape into a few with only his eyes shifting into the neon blue slits of a beast, but in order for him to fully tap into the Ocean Dragons powers, he must transform into Yongmul's true form. His serpent like body is roughly the length of a double trailer semi, his scales the liquid sort of blue that seem to melt into the water when submerged. Long, curved horns sweep back from his massive skull lined with fins along with two silvery threads from his maw. x
Ocean Stormsx // Yongmul used to offer safe passage to ships, protecting those that worshiped him from the disasters of the ocean while using the same power to harm others. Tsunamis, hurricanes, whirlpools, and rainstorms over the ocean were all his doing, or at least within his control. Daeyong can control storms and create new ones as long as he is within Yongmul's dragon form. If not, he is able to tap into rain and wind storms with enough focus or anger.x
Dimension-Creationx // As a major god, Daeyoung can create his own pocket dimension- his is filled with a vast ocean in a constant state of simmering storms. In the center is a small island with a city that looks like a combination of traditional Korean buildings and New York City. x
Jurisdiction of Sea Lifex // For the most part, the creatures of the ocean, supernatural or ordinary, serve Yongmul. The dragon doesn't ask much from the creatures within his domain, though if he is in need of aide he expects them to come. Occasionally this also means solving disputes amongst the merpeople, naiads, and other sentient creatures that live within the ocean. x

STRATEGISTx // Raised in a boardroom, Daeyoung is good at both planning in a buisness environment and while in battle. x
SWORDSMANSHIPx // Dae is very skilled with a sword, having been tutored from a young age in the art He now posses Yongmul's Fang, a geom blade made from the fang of the dragon's original body. Though he is focusing on his patience, Dae is quick to draw his blade when it begins to wear thin.x
ALOOFx // Though fairly famous, Daeyoung is skilled at staying out of the public eye. Residing in the Pathenon for a few years has helped, but he has also mastered the art of keeping his personal life, the life of an emerged god, and the facade he puts on as the head of his families company three separate things.x

PATIENCEx // He's working on this skill, a trait that he holds in high esteem but can't seem to master. It's the one point of contention between him and his god.x
HUMAN TIESx // Daeyoung views his attachment to the mortal world as a problem that he does not have the answer to. His family, his hertitage, and his company are things he is not willing to leave behind. Thankfully, Yongmul has no plans for force Dae into living in the Pathenon permanently, though the two discuss it constantly. x
POWERx // The power of the ocean is vast and great. Yongmul trusts his host, beleives him to be good... but Dae has proven to sometimes abuse their power for his own benefit. If this continues to be an issue, they will see. x

xxx⢠x gracious x ⢠x tumultuous x ⢠x calculating x ⢠xsecretivexx⢠xxx
Despite his powerful nature and tall orders, Daeyoung has a sense of quiet beauty about him. Dark hair, sharp eyebrows, a serene but dominant look in his eye, Daeyoung appears picturesque, like one of the ancient paintings adorning the walls of his family estate. Those that know him outside of the office know that this is a calculated mask he wears. Despite his rippling surface of calm, Daeyoung has a tumultuous storm brewing beneath the surface. A captive animal, a calmed aggression that shudders along tight shoulders and a stern brow. He is very self-aware, choosing to dress in the newest fashion, making sure to smile when the situation calls for it and generally forcing the public to see him as a relaxed youth with a lot of power at his disposal. He keeps an Instagram, appears in public often, dates when necessary but never grows attached, and generally makes sure to never sully himself or his family name.
Daeyoung grew up quickly, maturing at a young age as the responsibility of being Yongmul's future vessel and the head of the family was placed upon him. As a leader, he believes in a strong work ethic and handling situations properly and efficiently, leaving nothing to chance. He's quite short-tempered, easily aggravated but works hard to handle things with words instead of his swords. This restraint makes him seem quite serious, stern, and responsible, taking the world around him before acting on his temper. This was amplified when Yongmul joined him, a dragon known for his benevolence but quick anger. In many ways, Yongmul and Daeyoung are similar, a perfect pair of patience and action. The only difference is that Yongmul does not believe in keeping up appearances; he is used to being admired for his restraint and his power. The dragon is equally feared and loved by those that worship him, respected for what he could do but chooses not to, something he is working on getting his host to understand.
Just like his personality, Daeyoung fights offensively with barely restrained aggression. His natural talent, agility, intellect make him an amazing swordsman, allowing him to flow through battle with a grace people often compare to the water dragon he hosts. He reads his opponents and counterbalances their movements in order to stay ten steps ahead of them. Daeyoungs geom is a sword gifted to him by the dragon when he emerged. Forged from Yongmuls fangs when the dragons original body died, it hones the oceanic power of Youngmul and harness the sharp sting of water through its ever precise edge.

DRAGON TRANSPORT LINES LTD
TEU: 4,176,517
Founded: 1897
HQ: New York, United States
Revenue: USD 9.6bn

Dragon Transport Lines Ltd is a privately-owned company that provides a wide range of solutions. These services include international shipping and logistics, port container terminal operations, ship, and container rental services, and ship and container trading.
Dragon Transport Lines operates in 130 countries and ships around $675 billion worth of goods per year. The company has a fleet of five Maersk Triple E-class container ships. Each one can carry more than 18,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).
Historically the company was based in Seoul, South Korea but made the move to New York, United States in 2010.
Seo Daeyoung knew from birth what he would be someday. He'd been told tales of Yongmul to soothe him to sleep, the great and benevolent dragon that had cared for Korea, and blessed his families trading ships with good fortune. The dragon is the reason they are who they are today- the leading private shipping companies in the world, globally known and wealthy beyond comparison. Since their first good voyage, the Seo family has dedicated their lives to serving The God of Oceans. For this, they were blessed with the knowledge that one of their firstborn sons would someday serve the god as his vessel.
Daeyoung grew up in South Korea on his family's estate, a large traditional style multi-building land that housed a few of his cousins and distant relatives as well as immediate family. He had his own tutors, chefs, guards, friends invited by his family to harbor business deals, and never a worry in sight. He excelled in all subjects, could carry on a conversation with his father's business partners at the age of seven, and practiced Kumdo well enough that he outgrew his swordsmanship tutors quickly.
Dae's father moved the companies and family to New York when Dae was 14 to place their headquarters in the middle of their largest trade route. Leaving their ancestral home felt blasphemous to a family so rooted in tradition, but the Seo's were wealthy enough to move most of their belongings and Yongmul's shrine with them. They acquired a large historical mansion outside New York City near the water and Dae's life shifted to the city fairly seamlessly. It was around this time that his father started bringing him to work every day- and every night.
The Seo's family business, Dragon Transport Lines LTD, was focused mainly in the shipment of goods across international seas, mostly cargo ships filled with cars and other high market items. What Dae soon learned was almost every shipment was filled with near 50% illegal goods; drugs, weapons, stolen equipment, and supernatural creatures. His father had moved the companies headquarters the New York in order to tap into the larger wealth of the cities seedy underbelly. Working under his father, Dae learned the ins and outs of the illegal smuggling business like he learned everything, with a ravenous hunger that soon made him a pro.
Yongmul joined with him when he turned 16. The dragon gods visit was of no surprise to him, he'd been groomed his whole life to expect this and was ready to accept the god as soon as he spoke. Though Daeyoung had studied the dragon, knew every story and every victory, none of that could prepare him for sharing another body with a creature ancient beyond understanding. Yongmul was patient, he knew heâd joined with his host while the boy was young, and was willing to allow him to learn in his own time.
Daeâs father died when he was 19, resulting in him taking over the company entirely at an early age. He began splitting his time between the Pathenon and New York, allowing his younger brother to take over for him when he was not home. Dae preferred his pocket dimension, he preferred the grandiose marvels he experienced while living Yongmuls life, but he had a duty to take care of his family and would see it through.
