Oojin Kim

A sardonic, laid-back video game enthusiast. You revel in making jokes or pointing out the humor in any situation, whether it be at other peoples' or your own expense. The 'commitment to the bit' can even surpass your own survival instincts, logic, and dignity.

Luckily, your Specter helps guide you forward.

• The time the player takes to choose for Oojin appears to translate, albeit subtly, in the world of Chromasynth. It can vary from a split-second decision to a rather long moment of pause.
  • Oojin notes that, after bonding with their Specter, their tendency to space out increased. They chalk this up to the unconventional acquisition of their Value, as those who develop and mature one naturally have a smoother transition to a user.
• Her speed of walking and speech are described to be slower than average. However, their high dexterity can be attributed to their hand-eye coordination and creativity.
• Ever since they were a child, Oojin was made fun of for their name. Upon being given the chance to choose a more conventional American name by their father, they ultimately refused out of spite.
  • The name Oojin [우진] has many potential meanings, but the most common interpretation is with 우 meaning "home" and 진 meaning "real, genuine".
• Sometimes, Oojin will fall unconscious. They ascribe it to a kind of narcolepsy due to their irregular sleeping habits, though it will also correlate to feelings of high tension and stress.
  • Oojin notes that it was one of many things that intensified after they bonded with their Specter.
  • The prominent bags underneath their eyes are a side-effect and symptom of this.
  • If asked, they will claim that this is a strategic napping system that they totally have a handle of
• Ever since they were a child, Oojin appears to feel uncomfortable with the intricacies of the human body. Though they will joke about certain bodily functions (as well as damage and loss to body parts), they primarily feel disgusted thinking about what goes on underneath their skin.
  • They often circumvent any in-depth introspection of their own body by joking about how they were 'built' in a lab rather than birthed by a person.​
• Citrix, their online persona, is an anonymous figure in the gaming community who specializes in beating games as quickly as possible, as well as exploring the structural integrity of the code in order to exploit it.
• Oojin appears to have difficulty maintaining eye contact with others. People will note that Oojin’s gaze will wander throughout a conversation, to the point where it seems like she’s looking for something.
• Nerdy/technological-themed aesthetics are a staple of Oojin’s outfits. Even their hair ties are completely usable USB cables that they had repurposed as an accessory.
  • Their stylistic philosophy centers around comfort and utility.
• Designing appears to be a secondary interest for them, as they personally designed their signature jacket. It is a combination of a letterman and a sukajan jacket.
  • Oojin’s childhood dream was being an inventor, though their laziness and inability to commit to a project to the end would stifle their ambition.
• Portmanteaus are a weakness of Oojin's. They seem to enjoy putting things together in general, even if the combination is unconventional.
• Laboratory responsibilities, such as conducting formal experiments and maintaining a controlled environment, seem less interesting to Oojin than simply studying Specter and their interactions with humans. Oojin notes that they’re more of a technology person than a science person like their father, and they prefer a hands-on, trial-and-error approach.
• Animals such as rats and mice are Oojin's favorite. They refuse to see them (and rodents in general) as vermin, instead admiring their tenacity.
  • Oojin owns several mechanical 'pet' rats, claiming to be too irresponsible to take care of living creatures.​
• You (the player) are able to decide Oojin’s path forward. However, throughout different choices, there will remain consistencies - demonstrating that the options provided are consistent with the associated characters’ genuine personality.
  • The manner in which characters act upon the choice varies, showing that they retain a certain amount of agency despite being under your control. They may even resist control altogether.
• Ever since they were young, Oojin claims to have experienced a wild combination of luck and misfortune - a phenomenon they call O-RNG, or ‘Oojin’-RNG. This further contributes to their laid-back attitude, as they’re often convinced that they have little control over their fate.
  • As a result, Oojin is also convinced that some divine punishment awaits them to counterbalance all the good things she’s unfairly experienced.
• Role-playing games with fun collect-a-thons are their favorite genre. Their least favorite genre is VR or any kind of simulation that overwhelms their senses, as it gives them headaches.
