deus's backstory
past
Deus grew up in Italy as the heir to a multi-billion-dollar company, founded by his parents, Adrienne Smith and Siwoo Kang. From a young age, he was surrounded by wealth, luxury, and the pressure of being groomed to one day take over the family business. However, Deus never felt connected to the corporate world his parents built. Instead, he longed for freedom and a sense of purpose outside the expectations placed on him. Feeling suffocated by the responsibilities and expectations, he ran away to the Philippines to pursue an education in a field that truly interested him, leaving the family business behind to explore his own path.
present time
It's been three years since Deus landed in the Philippines, far away from the life of luxury and expectations that once weighed him down. Now in his third year of studying psychology, he’s found a sense of peace in his new routine. Enjoying the simplicity and freedom of being a student, he joined the dance club. And because of it, he has made a small circle of friends who know him for his easygoing nature and curiosity about the world.
When boredom creeps in, however, Deus's adventurous side kicks in. Sometimes, he would post gaming videos of himself or his short vlogs. It’s a side of him that no one in his academic life knows about, except one close friend. Though his studies keep him busy, these moments give him a sense of control and excitement, a sharp contrast to the more structured world he's trying to build for himself.
pre-est relationship
The Neighbour and close friend: Maristella Eclaire - Deus and Eclaire have known each other since he moved to the Philippines, as they’ve been neighbors the entire time. Their relationship started casually, hanging out whenever they’d bump into each other in their shared apartment building or at school. Eclaire, being a year younger and just as curious as Deus, quickly became a close companion. She’s fun, bold, and has a knack for pushing boundaries, which piqued Deus’s interest.
