He has a 2-dan black belt in Karate, and is also currently learning Wushu. He also has an interest in Western martial arts like Mixed Martial Arts and Kickboxing and hopes to learn those too.

Growing up in New York, his Mandarin writing skills are passable at best, though he struggles with stuff outside of what he's generally expected to know (Creative Writing and Literature are his worst subjects). His spoken Mandarin is fluent enough, though he has a bad habit of replacing words with English when he can't remember.

Apart from English and Mandarin, he can also sort of speak the Taiwanese dialect (mostly because of his grandparents), and also a bit of Japanese (JLPT N3 level).

His morning routine involves waking up 45 minutes before he has to go, a quick shower, 10 minutes on his hair (listen, that volume doesn't come naturally my fam) and skimming the news on his tablet (who even reads real newspapers these days smh) while eating a slice of buttered toast and drinking a glass of coffee. If he ever skips breakfast, he will be uncharacteristically irritable and short-tempered for the rest of the day, so please try to feed him if you see him like this...!

He is a compulsive shopper, both online and offline, and tends to spend (and spend a lot) when he's bored and has nothing to do.

Being the son of a fashion editor, he is always up to date with fashion, and it's unlikely you'll ever catch him wearing anything that's last season (he's probably thrown them out and bought new stuff already - see the point above ^)

He's surprisingly conservative, and while he enjoys breaking hearts, he would never cheat on someone if involved in them (there are other ways to make someone he likes suffer, heh), and also tends to shy away from conversation with sexual undertones.

When he was younger, his mother used to put him in dresses because she never did have a second child, so IT'LL HAVE TO DO (he was pretty cute too). She still buys and sends him random female attire and accessories, of which he...buries at the back of his closet.

He has a pet rabbit that he calls "Little Demon" (xiao gui), because it seemingly enjoys biting people affectionately.

He doesn't actually know how to use public transport, gdi rich kids.

The family friend he is living with was his father's high school friend, a kind-natured middle aged divorcee whose children have grown up, and thus was living alone prior to Eric's transfer. She doesn't particularly watch him much apart from making dinner for him and making sure he doesn't stay out too late, believing that he needed to learn independence especially knowing how his parents babied him his whole life.
