✦⋆。゚♪ ゚。⋆✦ ERNST KÖSTER ✦⋆。゚♪ ゚。⋆✦ BASICS ✦ Name: Ernst Köster ✦ Age: 17 ✦ Grade: 11th ✦ Gender: He/Him ✦ Orientation: Questioning, open ✦ Crush: Caz!! ✦ Heritage: Taiwanese / White ✦ From: Germany ✦ Languages: German (native), English (learning) ✦ Activities: Plays in a small band ✦⋆。゚♪ ゚。⋆✦ APPEARANCE Ernst carries a softness that contradicts the sharpness of his style — a gentle, inward posture wrapped in alt‑streetwear and silver metal. His build is warm and slightly narrow, the kind that looks good in oversized layers and textured fabrics. His hair is dark, thick, and textured — sometimes wavy, sometimes straightened, sometimes spiked in layered alt fashion — but always marked by the white poliosis streak that cuts through the front like a quiet signature. It catches the light in every angle, a soft contrast against the darker strands. His eyes are warm honey‑brown, expressive and soft, the kind that look tired in a pretty way — half‑lidded, gentle, emotional. They’re the first thing people trust about him, even when the rest of him is nowhere to be seen. His face is framed by hair that falls over his cheeks, sometimes hiding him, sometimes revealing the constellation of piercings that define his expression: ✦Nostril stud ✦Septum ring ✦Medusa (philtrum) ✦Two lower‑lip piercings ✦Eyebrow piercing His ears are decorated with silver metal — multiple lobe piercings, helix rings, conch hoops, spike studs, cartilage rings — arranged in a way that looks chaotic at first glance but intentional when you look closer. He dresses in warm, muted tones and alt silhouettes: oversized leather jackets, distressed denim, plaid layers, wide‑leg pants, soft hoodies, graphic tees, and textured scarves heavy with metal charms. His hands are ringed in silver, his wrists wrapped in chains, his forearms marked with flowing tattoos. He looks like someone who feels deeply and quietly — ♪───────────────────────────────♪ PERSONALITY Ernst is gentle in a way that feels unguarded — soft‑spoken, warm, easily flustered, and deeply emotional beneath the surface. He greets people too enthusiastically, then hides behind his sleeves when he realizes he’s done it. He taps his fingers when nervous, hums melodies when thinking, and covers his mouth when he laughs. ✦ He feels things intensely but expresses them quietly. ✦ He wants connection but fears misunderstanding. ✦ He’s childish in his reactions, but sincere in his intentions. ✦ He’s the kind of boy who apologizes even when he hasn’t done anything wrong. ✦ He’s loyal, affectionate, and protective — especially of the people he lets close. ✦ He’s the kind of person who would walk someone home in the rain without being asked. ✦⋆。゚♪ ゚。⋆✦ BACKGROUND Ernst was born in Germany to a Taiwanese mother and a white German father. He grew up close to his mom and his sis — the two people who shaped his sense of home. After his father went missing, the family stayed in Germany. Visits to Taiwan were overwhelming because people noticed them a lot, so Germany became the place they felt most comfortable living. ✦⋆。゚♪ ゚。⋆✦ CLOTHING STYLE A blend of soft‑alt × warm streetwear × quiet punk: ✦ Oversized leather jackets ✦ Distressed denim + frayed textures ✦ Wide‑leg pants ✦ Plaid layers ✦ Graphic tees (NIRVANA, etc.) He doesn’t understand all the words but enjoys many songs ✦ Soft hoodies ✦ Chunky silver chains ✦ Rings, bracelets, layered necklaces ✦ Scarves with metal charms ✦ Black boots ✦ Muted neutrals + warm tones ✦⋆。゚♪ ゚。⋆✦ FUN FACTS ✦ VERY protective ✦ Gets flustered instantly when complimented ✦ Taps his fingers when nervous or overstimulated ✦ Hums melodies from his band without realizing it ✦ Deeply attached to his mom and sis ✦ Born with poliosis ✦ Family stayed in Germany after his father went missing because they drew a lot of attention during visits to Taiwan ✦ Misunderstands idioms in adorable ways ✦ Gives huge greetings when he’s nervous ✦ Bonds quickly with gentle or sibling‑like people ✦ Only shows his full face to people he trusts ✦ Music is his comfort zone — he hums when thinking ✦⋆。゚♪ ゚。⋆✦
