❥ Nom de plume is Eugene River!
❥ He grew up completely normally with his cute little brother
Yoohyun Haeyeon and his normal parents, none of whom were originally affiliated with any specific Family. Just average people. But because his little brother is SO CUTE and SO PERFECT and has REALLY STRONG BLESSINGS he kept getting scouted by all of the Families to join them. His parents were supportive of whatever Haeyeon wanted to do, but Eugene was very protective and didn't want him to join any Family that wasn't going to be good to him! Eugene kept accidentally pissing people off in other Families by implying they weren't good enough for his brother or weren't going to treat him right. As a result Eugene tangentially knows some people from quite a few Families, at least in passing from all of them trying to scout his brother.
❥ Eventually Haeyeon decided to join Siren's Melodies (because the entertainment industry pays really good). Haeyeon picks up things so fast, on account of being perfect, that for the early years of his life Siren's just kind of had him doing everything to see what stuck: music, theater, dance, acting. Eventually they landed on acting and he's a big movie star now.
❥ Eugene tagged along to all of his little brother's gigs since his parents traveled around a lot; any time the working conditions seemed bad he'd kick up a HUGE fuss so he accidentally made some enemies in The Arias too as a result, oopsie.
❥ He also had a habit of trying to look after child stars around his age or younger so they'd grow up healthy despite being in showbiz. This just kept ending badly for one reason or another--they'd have a falling out, or move away/disappear, or die tragically, or something else. Insert your falling out reason here.
❥ Their parents were very hands off with the kids and eventually died in a car crash, ambiguous on whether or not it was a normal accident or something nefarious happened to them.
❥ Haeyeon saw that being even slightly connected to The Arias was not doing great for Eugene's mental health so he pushed his brother away and refused to meet him or speak to him in the hopes that it would get him to stop getting tangled up in other people's business, thus severely underestimating his brother's ability to get up to shit no matter what.
❥ Eugene took this the wrong way and thought that if he joined a Family it would make him Important Enough for his brother to talk to him again.
❥ He very recently joined a Family and then like immediately got pulled onto the ship before he could try to contact his brother to get back into his life
❥ For his profession he's a Specialized Veterinary Technician Assistant. Most of the time his job is just about assisting vets with animals. Normal stuff. But since not everyone in the world is fully human, he can also assist with anyone who has non-human traits! For example, if someone has wing sores and needs them looked at to figure out the problem, a normal hospital might not know what to do, but the specialty clinic can handle it! People with strange attributes also tend to have Blessings, so they're equipped to handle people with haywire Blessings and the like.
