Kang Seong-Jin was taken from his mom as a baby and now lives as the prince Kang Yong-Saeng III, in his father's obscure and putrid shadow. He was the only emperor's offspring who turned out to be a tenebris, the only one he didn't plan to have. 

The prince was born Deaf and it would never be an issue for anyone who loved him dearly, but it's not like his father knew what love was, so he forced the boy to learn lip-reading techniques and to use implants to "fix" him. He learned sign languages alone, for wesenian, english and korean.

Despite being raised to be a tormentor to wesenian people, his heart always remained whole. Kang's love for music and history showed itself inside the libraries and his hidden bedroom in the castle. When his uncle gave him his acoustic guitar, he started composing songs and learning the chords at his own, even being noticed by his father! And rapidly explored for Earth's money.

Jin met Mandy at a concert in Tokyo's Cherry Blossom Festival, in the year of 2012. The stage was set by his father, it was easy to gain the young ones' sympathy by using another young one. He opened the show with one of his songs and, as if the stars crossed, he looked down and there she was. Nothing was the same after that, for neither of them.

Trivia: 

• "Seong-Jin", the name his mom gave to him, means: "Excitable/trembling star", while Yong-Saeng, given by his father's family as a tenebris tradition, means: "Eternal life";

• Kang's powers are so strong he can cover the stars from a 1 km radius area with his shadows, making it impossible for anyone to see them in that area until he moves from there, which is unusual for a child. He was only able to see the stars with his own eyes at age 16, when he learned how to control this;

• His father forces him to straighten his hair to look more like the other members of the Kang family. His beautiful curls are unknown to every other character until very late (a crime, in my opinion);

• His eyes, like with every other tenebris, are in a unreflective pitch black. Tenebris black eyes are untouched by the curse and, for a cursed one, it is FORBIDDEN to love someone with them, as they can't reflect light;

• When I came out with his character, in 2013, he was named "Subaru". It's an irrelevant trivia, but I like to see his original name being reused as his codename;

• He's an emo. Kinda obvious. He wont grow out of it, I promise;

• (I also promise he will be happy, loved and surrounded by friends who  will treat him as an human being one day.)
