rules

rule one
Please be aware that, due to the nature of this rp, I am asking for all writers to be 18+. Please also be aware that this roleplay will include themes such as: violence, war, fighting, romance, character death, and mild gore. If any of these themes are something you are not interested in, or comfortable with, please do not apply. That being said, triggering content can be limited and will be discussed so that everyone is safe.

rule two
I feel like this shouldn't have to be stated but my roleplay will NOT be a place that tolerates any sort of bigotry or hatred. Diversity is beautiful and there will be a zero tolerance policy for things like racism, hatred to the LGBTQ+ community, hatred to different religions/cultures, etc.. If you want to be discriminatory and mean, please go elsewhere.

rule three
Activity will be critical for this rp. I will be expecting posts at least once a week, though more is always welcome! I will also request that you do not apply if you do not expect to be active in the OORP Discord for plotting, IC, and planning purposes. This rp will be built around a community of dedicated writers so participation is key.

rule four
I am asking for semi-lit writers. The aim is to have shorter, more frequent posts of 2-3 paragraphs rather than novella style posts. You are totally more than welcome to write longer posts, but shorter posts are also accepted. We just ask that you put in enough to reply to, that your reply advances the story, and that you attempt to use proper grammar and descriptive language. If anyone has difficulty with grammar, spelling, etc. please let me know and we can totally accommodate that.

rule five
As I said before, Discord is mandatory and non-negotiable for this roleplay. The RP will feature story arcs that contain a combination of group jobs, individual character development, free time for characters, and larger character arcs. In order for this to happen, we do need people who are interested in bringing forward ideas and participating in the overall plotting. I want everyone to feel heard and like they've had a true impact on the story.

rule six
This roleplay is realistic and thus, we ask that the characters be realistic as well. Realistic faceclaims are mandatory. Everyone is allowed to apply for one role and it is not first come first served. That being said, if there is a character application that I enjoy, I will be accepting the character as it is posted and completed. Additionally, once the roles are finished being filled, side characters can be created for plotting purposes and will have no limit.

appearance
Beatrice is a person that is difficult to miss and even more difficult to forget. She's a beautiful woman, long and elegant with timeless features that allows her to both stand out and blend in when needed. Perhaps most noticeable is Bea's confident demeanour, often demanding of attention without saying a word, and her bright crystalline blue eyes. She takes pride in hygiene, keeping her thick head of black hair well maintained and her porcelain skin polished. Being raised in a wealthy family has meant that Beatrice has developed a soft spot for practical fashion, opting to sport clothing that is comfortable and beneficial over formal and ill-fitting garments. However, she often goes for flashy pieces that look both professional and powerful. She also favours deep colours, particularly darker hues of purple and blue on softer fabrics.
body modifications
For her safety, and desire to not be identified easily, Beatrice has no tattoos. She only has a singular piercing in each ear.

personality

Beatrice is a big personality. In true Ludovici fashion, Bea has a natural edge to her while still retaining elegance. She is someone that naturally commands groups and her very being demands attention, making her a skilled leader. Beatrice can make friends wherever she goes by throwing on a face that belongs to another, masking her true identity until the truest version of herself needs to come out.

First and foremost, Beatrice is a social creature. Although not particularly kind or warm, Beatrice shows her affection through caring for others. Often struggling to express her thoughts and emotions, she instead looks to her dedication and selflessness to her loved ones to show what she means. Beatrice has no tolerance for hatred or bigotry, opening her home to anyone in need. You will never catch her dead acting sweet and overly caring despite her naturally protective disposition. Do not expect her opinion of you to not be swayed either, Beatrice's trust must be earned and maintained.

Beatrice is also a woman that has seen struggle and hardships that has left her soul guarded and her actions calculated. Bea does nothing by accident and, thanks to her natural intelligence and years of study, can quickly adapt to most situations. She can see all sides of an equation, making her especially lethal on a social front. Beatrice will find out your secrets and delegate the family to take care of you if you cross her. Don't let the charm and dazzling smile fool you: piss her off and you're ending your evening in a shallow grave.

Behind the facade, Beatrice deeply loves the people she holds close and fears extensively for their loss. She has a deeply rooted fear of losing the people around her and thus, she has a difficult time expressing just how much people mean to her. She also struggles with romantic relationships, forever worried that she will open up to someone and become vulnerable only to find them missing from her live.

childhood
In a world where sons are favoured, Beatrice Ludovici lucked out. The eldest of the two Ludovici children, the fact that she was born a female was never much of an issue. She was born into wealth and power, provided the best education, items, and experiences her father's money could buy. Her curiosity was nurtured, her attitude shaped and sculpted into strength and charm.

Beatrice reveled in being the only child of her parents in the first few years of her life, forming a deep connection with both of her parents. Even in her father's 'social circle', Beatrice was adored, though many disputed that the birth of her brother would catapult her position in the family backwards. Still, when Angelo was born, Beatrice remained in her spot of beloved daughter, now just with a trusty companion at her side.

Childhood was simply a footnote in the long story that would eventually become Beatrice's life. In the middle of the night, Beatrice was awoken by her mother. She had Angelo in her arms and panic in her eyes. There were no answers to Beatrice's questions, just demands to pack a bag and keep her head low. It wasn't until they were halfway to Houston that her mother finally told her what had happened: her father, the family legacy, was dead.

teenage years
The Ludovicis moved into a quiet home in the heart of Houston, purchased with the large sum of cash that was legally left to their mother after their father's death.

Beatrice and Angelo were always close growing into their teen years. Attending the same schools, being given the same attention and respect by their parents, and often running in the same friend groups thanks to Angelo's (sometimes) annoying mature disposition meant that even if she wanted to, it was difficult to get away from her little brother. Angelo acted as a shadow, watching and learning from Beatrice in nearly every situation and Beatrice, ever the power hungry and influential girl, enjoyed being the person in control.

Growing up, Beatrice had difficulties socializing. Sure, she was popular enough amongst the other children her age, her teachers and mentors enjoyed being in her company, the members of her father's gang looked after her like she was their own. Still, Beatrice found herself making fewer and fewer close connections as she aged. Where many children were focused on finding a social clique that would heighten their influence on their peers, Beatrice was far more ambitious. Her sharp tongue made it difficult to keep people around, never having time for petty drama or tension, and her focus left her very little time for childish games.

Beatrice's childhood was filled with observation, quickly finding herself people to learn from and replicate. Her fantasies did not involve foolish fairytales or wishes for a clumsy prince: Beatrice wanted power, wanted respect. Fuck it, she wanted to be her own knight in shining armour. Nothing, or anybody, was going to stop her from achieving those goals.

adulthood
Upon graduating high school at the top of her class, Beatrice felt lost. The idea was always for her to take over the family business, so she returned to Chicago. She made attempts to hunt down anyone previously associated with the family but all of her leads turned up empty. Now, she had to figure out an alternate arrangement. That arrangement was found within the ranks of the United States Marines.

Beatrice enlisted and thrived under the pressure of the training. She did tours in Europe and the Middle East, climbing the ranks and maintaining her power. Life once again took its toll when, at the young age of just twenty three, she was injured in an explosion and discharged from the military.

After losing her spot in the military, became almost painfully boring. There were talks of marriage from her mother under some stupid idea that Bea needed a strong man at her side. Beatrice couldn't disagree more, yet she obliged her mother's foolish wishes. Beatrice found her own place, a small Victorian house on the outskirts of town, and pretended to play the role of darling wealthy girl to a variety of suitors, many of whom went scurrying off into the night and never to return when they realized just how independent Beatrice was. Several years into the ordeal, her mother gave up. Beatrice hardly complained.

Life once again was turned upside down when Beatrice's mother passed away unexpectedly. The money leftover from her father's death, a shockingly large sum, was given to Beatrice along with a letter in her father's handwriting: Carry On.

With her inheritance from the death of her parents, Beatrice purchased the large plot of land that the Ludovici Family Mansion sat on. A massive, three storey number, previously home to a bedroom for each member of the crime family left to rot after her mother sold the property after her husband's death. Beatrice got to work with the help of Angelo to clean the house up and restore it to a livable state. Once the house was ready, the remaining wealth went to detective work. She needed to find people she could trust, a mix of new and old, people that could do what she needed.

The family was going to be reborn.

appearance
From the very first look, you can tell Angelo comes from wealth. A polished and classically handsome man, Angelo sports clean black hair and, occasionally, a beard of soft dark stubble across his pale jaw. Angelo prides himself on status and thus spends plenty of time maintaining himself. In his bathroom sits all sorts of tonics and brushes to keep his skin clear and his hair freshened, an array of perfumes that costs as much as some people's rent, his favourite smelling of what many describe as liquid gold. Angelo's closet is also lined with a vast array of perfectly pressed clothing, including a variety of silken shirts and dress slacks that he wears down to the lab. Angelo also frequently wears gold jewelry, predominantly gold bracelets and rings along his slender fingers.

personality
Angelo is like a phantom, a tired spirit who has overstayed his welcome on earth. A quiet man, strange in his mannerisms and cold in demeanour, Angelo doesn't strike people as the kind of person who has devoted his life to medicine. He's far from social, his mind always seeming to be somewhere else, anywhere else, when he speaks to others. It seems obvious that he's entirely disinterested in the human race as a whole, especially if you ask him why he got into medicine. He isn't exactly awkward, in fact the man is very eloquent, he simply just doesn't enjoy conversing and socializing.

Although far from a personable individual, Angelo tends to be the smartest person in the room. Logical and methodical, Angelo was blessed with natural intelligence that had him branded as incredibly gifted in his youth. He would much rather accompany himself in his downtime with a good book or a quiet game of chess rather than parties and frivolous social gatherings. Should you happen to get him onto the topic of medicine or science, for that matter, it will be difficult for him to shut up about it. It would seem to many people that the only things Angelo cares about are his job, a good blazer, and the occasional cup of merlot.

Angelo has little time for things that he deems pointless: romance, friendships, parties, the DMV, humanities classes. He tires easily and is quite irritable when he is in a situation that he dislikes. Despite his disposition to be entirely disinterested in the world, Angelo is an oddly passionate and strangely helpful man, provided that he benefits in some way. Sure, he won't help you out of the goodness of his heart, but if he thinks that life will be easier if he lends a hand then he'll be the first person in line. Additionally, Angelo often provides free medical advice and services, not because he's passionate about helping people but because he loves medicine and performing it. It just so happens that medicine involves people, an overlap that he's mostly gotten over through the years.

Who do you think you are to me?

personality

Cold-hearted, a sharp tongue, and stubborn as a mule. Those are the three most common phrases used to describe Andrea Gilbert - that is, if you get close enough to get to know her. Most people aren't that unlucky to do so. Her piercing gaze can stare right through you, as if you were the scum of the earth. She tends to keep to herself, preferring her own company over that of someone else's. Andrea is always hard at work, keeping herself occupied instead of being alone with her thoughts. She works long hours, tending to stay late and work overtime at Chicago General. But that doesn't mean that she's not devoted to the Ludovici family. Andrea would do anything that they asked of her, no questions asked. Why? Because she's genuinely fond of Beatrice and the way she runs things, though it isn't always obvious to everyone. Andrea prefers to mask her true feelings with dry wit and sarcasm. And if you don't like it? Well, too bad, so sad. Go cry about it to your mommy. She doesn't give a flying fuck what you think, and she never will.

But secretly, Andrea does care. She just can't let anyone break through the thick walls she's put up around her heart. She can't afford to get hurt again. Not now, not ever. She once was genuinely kind and sweet, once upon a time, and maybe it's still there, buried under years of rubble and debris. But no one will ever get close enough to break her down back to the basics. Andrea won't let them. You'll get a swift rebuttal and a string of curse words if you even think about trying. It doesn't seem like she loves anything to an outsider, but a trained eye will tell you quite the opposite. People from her past will tell you that she loves life, or at least, she did at one point. Now it seems as if she could care less whether or not she lives or dies, let alone anyone else. People from her past will tell you that she loves to be loved. These days, she's closed herself off to nearly everyone around her.

She is a skilled pianist, and a former childhood gymnast, but unless you knew her back then, you wouldn't know that just by looking at her. She's all but forgotten how to play, or how to do a somersault. Andrea has other skills that aren't exactly legal - they're more in a gray area, if anything. She can hack her way into some systems, but only if it's to help someone out. Theft of prescription pills like oxycodone also come in handy for the Family. Her loyalty to the Family is evident by her willingness to risk everything for them. Andrea has provided nothing but useful to the Ludovicis ever since she joined five years ago. Her quick fingers and sharp mind have saved the lives of many, both Family members and regular Joe Schmoes alike. The only life she couldn't save? Her late husband's. But more on that later.

virtues

Devoted - never turning her back on the Family.

Courage - she has the strength to continue going on with her life despite everything that's happened in it.

Justice - Andrea will always right a wrong, no matter what.

Sincerity - trust that she will tell you the truth, regardless of it hurts your feelings or not.

vices

Arrogance - Andrea's incredibly stuck-up and boastful about her achievements.

Callousness - though she is sincere, the way she goes about it can hurt feelings.

Stubborn - once she's set her mind to something, you won't change her mind about it.

Vengeful - best bet she's getting revenge on everyone who's ever wronged her.

backstory

tw: death, unaliving oneself, anti-LGBT views, cancer
Andrea Cassandra Gilbert came to this world in the usual way. Noreen and Christopher Gilbert already had a set of twin boys, Joseph and Jeremiah, who were five and a half years old, on their hands when a boisterous baby girl came bounding on the scene. They would soon find their darling Andrea joined by yet another boy, Augustus, the following June. Four kids under the age of ten was a bit much for the young couple, but they seemed to make it work. The perfect American family, with the perfect white picket fence house and the perfect all-American children...or so everyone thought.

Joseph, the oldest out of all the Gilbert children, would come out as gay at fourteen. And of course, Noreen and Christopher couldn't bear to have a crack in the foundation that they had worked so hard to build. So they sent him away in hopes that he would return "normal." But when he came back, he was even more miserable than he was before. And, not long after, he took his own life. Noreen and Christopher quickly decided to cover it up as being a tragic accident, even tricking their three remaining children into believing it as well. But Andrea, at nine, knew better than that. And at sixteen, she finally confronted her parents about it. They denied everything, just as Andrea had thought they would have done. So she pulled out her receipts - the news articles she had tracked down from when her brother had left this world.

They kicked her out, still denying everything. But Andrea was perfectly okay with that. She had recently started seeing a fellow classmate, Patrick Goulding, and they had quickly fallen fast and deep into love. His father allowed her to sleep on their couch until her parents finally let her back in, but only because it would look bad on them for kicking their daughter out in the first place. But Andrea was about to burn that bridge completely when she decided to legally emancipate herself. Patrick and his father helped her gain her freedom, and for that, she proposed to Patrick, who accepted the unorthodox tradition. By eighteen, Andrea was married and entering college with honors. She had weathered the storm, staring straight into the eye of the hurricane that personified itself as her parents. Nothing could have possibly gone wrong, right? Nothing was holding her back now. She was in the prime of her life, and she was going to take life by the horns.

That was, until Patrick was diagnosed with bone cancer two years later. As hard as he fought it, the cancer had spread further into his body. If they had caught it earlier, he would have had a better chance of surviving. He did, for the time being. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worst. On Andrea's twenty-first birthday, nonetheless. Patrick slipped away just after midnight on April 12th. Andrea would never be the same. Her high school sweetheart was dead, and she had no family to go home to. She could have just let herself wither away, but instead, she fought on. The only dark road she went down started when she met Beatrice Ludovici, by chance, of course. Convinced that she could finally have a family to call her own, Andrea joined the Ludovici Family. She continued to study medicine, hoping to find a cure for cancer. And, five years later, it's where she's still at, working alongside Beatrice's brother, Angelo. It hasn't always been sunshine and roses, but Andrea knows that Patrick would want her to carry on. Her heart still burns for him, even now.

personality

Salem is a hoe. He's not one for settling down, or being attached to anyone that isn't the family he chose. He refuses even to try to think of the thought of being in a committed relationship with anyone. It might stem from his trauma growing up, and the fact attachment that isn't from his family means he could get hurt but he refuses. That doesn't mean he's a dick, he always makes sure that the girl on the other side knows that this will never move more from fuck buddies or a one-night stand. And when he feels like they are getting feelings, he cuts off the benefits part of their friendship. He doesn't like breaking hearts. He's very blunt and hates listening to anyone that isn't Bea or Angelo. If anyone else gives him orders, he will punch them and say fuck you. He's very selfless, and will never put himself in front of others, he will protect everyone that he can even if it breaks his own heart, not that you would ever find out.

skills

Information Network

Salem has been creating a network of information, since the moment he was in high school. From small favors from ordinary people on the street to big ones from people of influential power. He used his skills to help them out, whether it was to bring down an enemy with rumors, or bad information. He sets the stage and lets the pieces fall. Then the people he helps out, owes him, and he does call in his debts when he needs them

knives/sniper rifles

He's not one to get his hands dirty but he does have the skill to make sure that if he's the one to take the shot, he can. He's skilled at throwing knives and being a sniper. He practiced every day since he was 20, and only uses that skill when need be.

strategies

he's a brilliant planner. He doesn't even need to look at the board to know where to place his pawns. He moves with skill and sets up traps, where he knows his enemies are going to fall. He's been at checkmate when you haven't even made your first move yet. He's also a certified psychologist, he loves picking the brain and making it think what he wants.

languages

Salem knows seven different languages, Chinese, Italian, his native language french, Spanish, Indian, English, and American Sign Language. He uses this in his dealings with his network, being able to gain favors from people from all over the world and build his network, learning different languages was important and needed.

history

Salem never knew his parents. He and his twin sister were dropped off at the fire station when they were babies in France, wrapped in blankets. He was the weaker twin, so he had to go to the hospital for some time, while his sister was taken to the orphanage, so by the time that he was healthy enough to leave the hospital. Scarlett, his twin sister was adopted to the States, and he was left alone. He stayed in the orphanage until he was about 4 when he was moved to a foster home in America. From the outside, the family looked like every family on the street. They didn't have any children, and they just wanted someone to love and raise.

Or so everyone thought.

The moment Salem was left alone in that house, he was in hell. He was forced to do all the chores and abused when the chores weren't completely done. He was fed leftovers and left to fend for himself if he didn't have any food made. Punishments ran from no food to hours locked in the basement. He was told that if he even tried to tell his social worker what was happening to him, he would get sent away to a worse place than he was in now. So he pretended when the visits happened, that he was in a happy home and that there was nothing wrong. Hiding the bruises, and pretending everything was fine.

When he was 7, he met Bea and Angelo Ludovici. Angelo was his age and in his classroom. He made quick friends with him, Salem being quiet and so was Angelo. They worked perfectly together. With Angelo came, Bea. Bea was everything he wanted in an older sister. She protected Salem and made sure he was safe at school. He went over their house a lot growing up through the years. He would do the chores and take the beatings so he could escape to their home with their mother who treated him like one of her own sons but even noticed the unusual quietness of the boy, how he seemed jumpy, and how he flinched away sometimes. They couldn't help but notice that he was either at their house or wandering the streets. Until it was nearly midnight. Or how he would always look too skinny even when he assured them he was fed.

Salem turned 11, and that's when everything changed. His foster parents were angry, he had forgotten to do his chores and left with Bea and Angelo somewhere. And didn't come back before it was too late. They locked him in the basement for days, with no human interaction, no food, and no water. Only coming down there to scream at him or hurt him. That's when Salem had enough, it was after two weeks in that basement that he found a chance to escape. His foster parents had finally let him out since they felt like he learned his lesson. The moment night fell, he left through the window. He ran and ran until he reached Ludovici’s home. Knowing which window was Bea’s, he threw pebbles until she opened the window.

When she saw his scared look and bruised body, she woke up her mother, and Salem told them the truth about everything. The bruises and the starvation. He looked down until Bea told him to look at her, and she made sure he knew that he wasn’t weak from what he went through. He was strong and brave. The moment she said that he ran into her arms and started to cry. That was the moment that Bea’s mother decided that Salem was theirs now. She still had connections in the dark world, so she made sure that his foster parents never saw the light of day, and Salem became Salem Ludovici. He had a mother, brother, and sister now. Who loved and care for him like he was truly one of them.

That's when Salem truly came out of his shell. He became the person he always was meant to be. Angelo and him were like two peas in the pods, doing everything together, and playing around with each other. Bea and Salem were closer though, she was the one he came to for everything. For advice, for just wanted someone to listen. She was the only one out of the family that knew everything about his past. The only one who knew the darkness he felt buried in his heart and mind. Winona, who he called Mom, since the moment she adopted him, follow that woman everywhere. She was his hero. Salem would do anything for his family.

Then when he was 14, he went to a concert that had his favorite metal band. It just so happened, that he also had a meet and greet with the band. One of the band members, Avi had a daughter who was the same age as him. When they met, it was like there was a connection they couldn't understand. It wasn't romantic or anything.

It was like home. They stayed in touch, exchanging phone numbers, when they both revealed that they were both adopted and were born on the same day. Her name was Scarlett, and she was the missing piece in Salem's heart. When their parents went to the adoption agency, it was shown that Scarlett and Salem were twins. Separated when they went into the system. They were no record of them, because of the fact that Salem went to the hospital while Scarlett went into the orphanage. So neither of them ever knew the other was missing. It was like a piece of his past was back with him. He had found his twin sister.

Ever since then, they had kept in touch by phone, video chat, and visits. Salem grew up loved and happy, becoming a player, but his mind was brilliant. He could find out information, from inside deals to just watching across the street. He could make a plan, and watch it work without placing a hand in it. Just a nudge at times. Through that, he decided to go study Psychology, while gathering his network of information, gaining favors, and having people owe him. By this time, Bea had told him about her father, and the legacy that he had left behind. He decided that if she wanted it to be, he would make sure that she never had to do it alone. Bea went on to the military and Angelo went to school but happiness could never last forever, at least not for him.

His mother died, just a few years after Bea came back after having gotten hurt. Salem changed, he became different. Closed off, losing the only adult that ever loved him, destroyed him. The only person that could bring out the old him. The kind and goofy him was Bea. When she decided to go back into the mafia world, he did what he said he would do if and when she wanted to go back to that world. He became her capo of the mind, he was the one with the plans and the strategies. Without touching a piece on the board, he will make the world bend to her will if she wanted it.

Salem would do anything for his family.

history

Isabella was born as Isabella Edison, an orphan, abandoned at the hospital when she was born. She was put into the system and bounced back and forth from foster homes. Either she was kicked out because they didn't have room for her or she was kicked out because of her behavior. Even when she behaved in her foster homes, never wanted her around, and sometimes even abused her. She hated to go to school so she just ran and explored the town. If she didn't want you to know where she went, you wouldn't.

Some foster homes were good and some weren't. Some didn't care if she ate or not, so at the age of 12, she decided to work as a drug dealer/runner. It was a way she knew to feed herself. At the age of 13, before she found something to believe in. She was taken into correctional jail for teens skipping schools and selling. She stayed there for a good year and a half. The good was overshadowed by the bad so much that Isabella gave up. Until she met Veronica Rose. Her last foster home was not good, not good at all and she was broken physically and mentally. She was 14 and still had no place or nobody to turn to. Nobody wanted her either since she was known around town as a huge troublemaker. They were scared to take in someone like her. Then Veronica appeared and took her in. She was a strong single woman, she never asked about Isa's past or where she went when she wasn't at school. She gave her space to heal, and trust her. Which was all that she wanted. She learned to trust the woman, and actually felt like calling her mom. She was her hero but she had long given up on adoption.

A year and a half went past and she was still a foster kid, and not a Rose. Veronica had been sneaking talks around her and social workers showing up. Isabella figured that Veronica had enough and was ready to let her go. She had been in and out of the correctional jail for teens since Veronica had gotten her and she might have been too much trouble. She had enough of foster homes for a while and wasn't about to go to a group home. So she ran. She ran far away, not really caring where she was going as long as it was far away from there, she was only 16 years old. It was 2 months of living on the streets until someone found her. It was Veronica. She dragged her back to her home. While in the car, they didn't really talk, just a few mutters from Veronica.

She was muttering about how she has been looking for her everywhere, and that she had been really freaking worried. She had never known someone who actually chased after her and was stunned. Isabella made the mistake of saying your home and not hers and ended up getting shouted at by Veronica. Screaming how she was planning to ask her if she wanted to be a part of the family and that everything was ready. She cried right then and there. They got home, and Isa was hugged by Veronica once they both got out of the car so tightly that she felt like the woman thought that she would disappear if she let go but she did let go.

For the next two years, Isabella lived as a Rose. She was a total troublemaker, most of the time driving her adoptive mother crazy. She would get told off by her mother but still have a loving home at the end of the day. Still, there was this little voice inside of her, telling her that she didn't want her, or she just took pity on her. She always had this deep fear that Veronica or Ma, who started to call her would send her back to the foster system the second, she became too much for her. Her worse situation came to life when her mother told her that she had been offered a job as the chief of a hospital in a different state. She couldn't tell her mother that they couldn't go because she knew that this was the woman's dream. So she told her to go. Only, even after telling her to go, her mother didn't even try to fight her on leaving. Even when she told her that she would stay in this town, her mother let her go without even a second thought.

This brought the truth to light. Her mother had gotten tired of her. Of her troublemaking ways, of her not trusting her, of her just being Isa. Even after leaving town, her mother barely spoke with her, and when she did, she sounded uncaring. Not like the woman, that raised her for the past couple of years. That chased after her. It was like the woman had given up on her daughter. Given up on Isa. Isa deciding that enough was enough, went back to her troublemaking ways full stop. She stopped trying to be the person that she was trying to be and started being herself. She went back to being called Isabella Edison. She dropped out of high school and succumbed to her addictions. She did everything to get her next high. She was tossed around and hurt. She was used. She went back into the system and that just made everything worse. She kept running away, and that was how Callum, one of the underground street fighters found her. High and out of her mind, for some reason he took her in and helped her get better.

He introduced her to the world of street fighting. Giving her outlet for her anger but it wasn't before long that something else or someone else gave her the strength to fight as well. It turns out that she was pregnant. Unknown who the baby daddy was, or when she got pregnant. She decided to keep it, but knowing that the world that she was entering was dangerous, she decided that only she and Callum would ever know that had given birth. To everyone else, her child would be callum's family. So when she was 18, Jasmine Rose was born. And she became Isa's whole world. To everyone else, she was Callum's niece whom he had from time to time.

To Isa, Jasmine was her entire reason for fighting. She kept rising in the ranks of the underground fighting world while going home to see that baby girl hers. It worked well for the next few years until she got a letter from Beatrice Ludovici, giving her the opportunity to join her group. She would normally say no but she knew that if she took this chance, there was a chance that she could find a way to give Jasmine a better life. So she took it, knowing that she had to stay at the house away from her baby. Luckily Callum's mom, who had become a very good babysitter for Jasmine, agreed to let her stay there. She lived close by so Isa didn't have to go far to visit her baby.

So she agreed, but she made sure to let it be known that once a month, on the 16th. She will disappear, and she will be back on the 17th. During that day, she spends the entire day with her daughter but she will never tell anyone about her secret.

Not even Bea.

habits/fun facts

Lucifer is known for playing old school music at the bookstore.

He has an abundance of knowledge in literature and fine arts due to that being his primary career choice as a youth, this explains his quoting of old literatures and singing of classic music in his shop or around his comrades.

His favorite band is ABBA.

You will not believe the number of weapons kept on his person it is ridiculous.

He is a huge lover of cats and regularly feeds strays he comes across.

Lucifer has a staring problem that makes people uncomfortable but it is his way of mustering up the balls to talk to someone and focus on a conversation.

skills

Even though Lucifer is skilled primarily in weapons and their knowledge of them, he is skilled in hand-to-hand combat due to his training and service in the marine corp.

He is multilingual in swedish, english, spanish, chinese and many more. Lucifer actually has extensive knowledge of various subjects and keeps up on current events, showing a genius-level aptitude.

He has a photographic memory.

He is a very good liar and uses this skill to get out of trouble multiple times.

mental ailments
Lucifer suffers from PTSD due to the abused he endured as a child and while in the military.
fears
He has a fear of hospitals primarily psychiatric hospitals because of the "treatments" he was subjected to after being discharged from the marines. He has emetophobia and will visibly become ill and freaked out at the sight of vomit. The sound and sight of a person going to vomit causes himself to want to vomit. The dude also has a fear of geese which is honestly a normal fear to have amongst people. Like who wouldn't be afraid to have a bird with razor sharp teeth and black air force energy choose you as their target.

Do you know that feeling when your whole life is falling apart to the point where all you can do is laugh?
personality
It is sometimes unclear if Lucifer is truly insane or only exceptionally good at pretending he is (or a combination of the two). He is stated as having paranoid delusions and intermittent memory loss. However, he does mention he "feels sane" when he is alone with his plethora of weapons or when he is assigned to a target. The symptoms of his "insanity" vary from self-identification with fictional characters, hallucinations, and belief in the "intelligence" of inanimate objects, among others. Conversations with him are always left with confusion. Lucifer was always intrigued by his name and wondered if it was a "gift" given to be given the name of the angel of hell or because his mother was a psychopath. He has a very vulgar attitude and isn't afraid to voice his opinions and thoughts. Lucifer enjoys making people uncomfortable with his comments. Both highly intellectual and downright lucrative, Lucifer is a walking highly-trained sociopath. He is detached from emotions and has a difficult time conveying and receiving them. He doesn't consider himself apathetic, he just struggles with connecting with others. In situations that need to be taken seriously, Lucifer's coping mechanism is being facetious and sarcastic. Lucifer lives his life on the edge and isn't afraid to die. He has faced many internal demons and sufferers from PTSD throughout his life that hardly anything fazes him. There are times when he welcomes death with open arms. Being a madman doesn't make him a unethical, he is always loyal to his employees at his shop and his comrades in the mafia. He is still detached emotionally from the members but is against turning his back or betraying his "family". His personal life is still a secret from the members and he continues to keep it private for fear of seeing one or more killed. He does not express his admiration and appreciation for the family but is a dependable ally.
childhood
Lucifer was born in Sundsvall, Sweden in 1990. He and his family migrated to the states when he was five years old and his life was normal until his mother passed away at eight years old. His father started becoming

appearance
Devin is the quintessential baby faced trans masc. He's small and squirrley, and you'd be forgiven for thinking he's an undergrad instead of in his 30s. He's got a cute little button nose, lots of freckles and dark hair that he's usually done something fussy with to make it look carelessly ruffled.

He's usually also wearing a nice cologne; the smell of musk and spice might linger after him.

body modifications

+Tattoo of a stylized rat king on his left shoulder blade
style
Dirtbag prep. You've seen what those New England Ivy League kids wear, and well, Devin's doing it wrong, but on purpose. Converse and suits, ties with jeans. If you ask him about it he's got a twenty minute TED talk on the history of Prep fashion as a subversive subculture loaded and ready to go, but the important thing is that, like everything else he does, Devin's fashion choices are a carefully thought out performance piece.

Also, he has to be the most fuckable person at the grocery store. You know how it is.

skills
+Bonafide Hustler: People think art theft is all rappelling through skylights and dodging lasers. It’s a lot more sweet talking curatorial staff and writing checks you never intend to cash. And those are handy skills to steal other things too, especially information.
+I Know A Guy: Selling stolen art requires a robust network of criminal contacts. Most of Devin's contacts are based out of Europe, but he's got more than a few in the USA, and he's not afraid to owe favors.

+That’s Just Who I Am This Week: Making a cover ID requires more than just a fake driver's license these days. Resumes, credit history, online presence—it's a lot of work to invent a person who doesn't exist but believably could. New persona, new paperwork, new me!
+Art as Commodity: The other side of the art theft business is forgeries—art an artist never made, but could have, distinct from copies of an artwork that exists. Devin has the art skills to bitch out a Singer Sargent or a Monet in a matter of weeks.

fears
-Being found by his family.

+To paint something original good enough to get in a gallery on its own merit.

personality
Cocky, charismatic, and certain that he’s the most clever person in any room, Devin can be incredibly abrasive. (Is he the cleverest person in the room? Frequently. It's often cancelled out by the fact that he's got a fatal American need to say Watch this and do something very, very stupid.) He has a not undeserved reputation for being an asshole, which he'll cheerfully admit to, but he's definitely not out to hurt anyone who hasn't hurt him first--he's just self-absorbed and a little careless when it comes to other people's feelings, though he's fiercely protective of anyone he considers his. He has the air of someone playing 3D chess at all times, though it's debatable if he's any good at it. He loves both the puzzle of planning a con and the thrill of pulling it off. You'd think he's never met a consequence once in his life.

Despite his loud personality, Devin’s learned when to keep himself inconspicuous and when to make a scene. He knows when to play idiot American tourist and when to pretend to be a disgruntled local. Even though he loves showing off more than almost anything, he likes being competent even more. The magic trick of distracting you with something that doesn't seem important to a con only to reveal that he did accomplish something important during it is one of his favorite little pleasures.

Having grown up in a strict household, Devin learned to lie early and well, and it’s difficult to extract pure truth from him among the embellishments and lies. He's committed to the bit and only digs in harder when called out on it. Though he socializes with the breezy sprezzatura of a well-trained socialite he finds making real, lasting connections much harder. How do you really know someone when all you know how to do is lie, after all?

childhood
Born the third child of four and the second daughter of a large and well respected Irish Catholic family in Boston, Devin was a quiet and shy child; his charismatic and domineering father's obvious least favorite. His parents had high standards and inflexible expectations for their children, and Devin regularly failed to meet them. His childhood was largely a collection of small miseries and unnameable aches.

In school Devin mostly learned to lie about everything in his life to every adult authority figure. If telling the truth got him accused of lying, he reasoned, he might as well lie anyway, and tell them the things they wanted to hear.. By the time he hit middle school he had even learned to craft new personas just to please the most important teachers and other adults in his life. If Grace Callaghan couldn't be a perfect daughter she could be a perfect student, even if that looked a little bit different to every teacher or mentor.

teenage years
College was Devin's first real escape. Faced with total freedom for the first time, Devin took full advantage of both it and everyone around him. He invented sob stories to get extensions on his homework and rides to the store. He fabricated stories of a functional family that did interesting things together so that his classmates wouldn't look at him with horror and pity. He tried and discarded personas until he learned which would gain him favors.

And, almost on accident, he discovered something real about himself on a field trip to the Boston MFA with his required art history class: he loved art.

Face to face with a Rothko in person by himself, Devin felt like he’d just met someone who actually knew him.

He had never actually gotten into a fight with his father before—it was always a one-sided nightmare where his father got angry and Devin tried to placate him. But they fought when Devin announced that he intended to major in art history. The fight didn't go well, and Devin realized his options were either go along with his father and end up with a life he didn't want, or be forced to drop out of school and try and put his life together with no resources if they cut him out. Naturally, Devin chose the third option: he stole his father's credit card for long enough to buy a plane ticket to Rome. Once there, he disappeared into the underbelly of the European art world.

adulthood
The last decade of Devin's life has been spent mostly in Europe, crossing the continent to steal from one museum or another. He's made a few trips back to the US as well in that time, mostly avoiding the northeast in favor of Florida and the west coast. He's kept mostly a low profile, carefully stealing smaller items and paintings from museums with minimal security and pawning off forgeries of midlist artists to unsuspecting collectors.

Devin's transition was initially for his own safety—his parents were looking for their daughter, after all—and he initially intended to drop it after a short amount of time. Instead, he found that he liked being seen as a man, liked the way people talked to him, liked the way it made him feel. Devin is a persona as much as any of his covers, but the difference is that Devin was made to please himself and no one else.

He's come to Chicago for a job at one of the city's many smaller art museums, and hasn't been in the city long.

vices

Addictive Personality - Artemis is very prone to addiction, especially in his current mental state. Anything that makes him feel good or happy, he is more than likely to use too much and too fast.

Loner - Artemis prefers to spend time by himself rather than with other people. He finds that a lot gets on his nerves, and he knows that he isn't very likeable anyway, so he often doesn't really bother trying to make friends. Even when he does have friends, he has a tendency to try to push them away.

Confrontational - For someone who loses every fight he's ever been in, Artemis has a strange compulsion to confront every person who angers him. He isn't violent, necessarily, but certainly won't shy away from an altercation, even one he is destined to lose. He has never learnt from his injuries, and he likely never will.

virtues

Independent - Artemis rarely, if ever, asks for help. He is the type of friend that will always listen, because he will never bother anyone with his own problems. He manages to solve his hardships on his own, other than the ones he ignores.

Observant - Lurking in the background, Artemis tends to notice a lot about the people around him. He picks up on the little things and takes note of them. He is, admittedly, nosy, so he loves to try to figure out other people's lives.

Honest - For better or for worse, Artemis does not sugarcoat anything. Ask him for his opinion and he will give it and more.

skills

Artemis knows most guns and knives back to front and upside down. He knows how to improve certain aspects, when they were made, what they're good for, and how to get them. Less common weapons he can still learn very quickly. Artemis, while not a particularly good fighter, is agile and able to dodge a fair amount of hits easily; he's more of an escapist. Additionally, Artemis' ability to speak and understand French is a skill in and of itself.

fears

Though it often doesn't seem like it, Artemis does fear dying, particularly given his habits and line of work. He's also afraid of losing someone close to him - hence why he refuses to get close to anyone.

ambitions

Artemis doesn't really know what he wants out of life. He lives one day at a time, and does what's best for him or will ensure him security.

persona
Artemis is best described as a lurker. He hangs around in the background, rarely the centre of attention. Personal relationships are pretty foreign to him; he struggles to keep friendships and isn't good at romantic relationships, preferring the company of one-night-stands. People know little about Artemis. He doesn't like talking about himself and will swiftly leave any conversation that holds potential for vulnerability.

Artemis is the kind of person that is difficult to be friends with. He's not mean, per se, he just doesn't seem to want to be around people very much. He's quiet and radiates a 'don't talk to me' energy, which causes a lot of people to stay away. He can come across as unemotional, but that's really only because he's mastered the ability of hiding his feelings and not allowing them to show on his face. In reality, he feels things very deeply - probably too deeply, and the fact that he bottles up his emotions only makes it more likely that, one day, he will snap.

Artemis, preferring to stay in the background in terms of conversation and general social interactions, is a great observer - often he hears various parts of secretive conversations or is able to pick up on someone's tone better than other people in the conversation might be able to, being an outsider to it. When Artemis does like someone, whether it be platonic or romantic, it can be pretty obvious. The fact that he tolerates, or even seems to enjoy someone's presence is indication enough that that person is special in some way. While he struggles to be particularly caring or kind, he is loyal, and he is extremely honest. Perhaps blunt is a better word.

the first part of life
Artemis was born to two French political figures, having an older brother named Louis. Artemis grew up with everything he could ever want handed to him, but with a lack of affection or love from his hard-working and ambitious parents. Artemis and his family moved to America when he was five, his parents able to get even more standing in politics there. Struggling to gain a real relationship with their parents, Artemis and Louis became extremely close. Louis was something of a golden child - smart, good at sports, charming. Artemis was far quieter, and didn't have good manners. When it came time for school, Artemis was often in the lower part of his class regarding grades.
halfway through it all
Being something of a disappointment - and his conservative parents didn't even know about his sexuality - Artemis was ready to rebel when he started high school. He smoked fairly regularly, hung around the wrong crowd, loitered in dangerous neighborhoods. The first time one of his questionable friends showed him a gun, Artemis was immediately interested. He wasn't good at math and barely paid attention in science, but the mechanics of the weapon just clicked for him. He pulled the gun apart and put it back together over and over again, until his friend would show up with something else for him to dismantle. This was really the only thing Artemis was good at. He thought it was a shame he couldn't be graded on it.
what happens next?
For once in his life, Artemis was starting to feel like he was actually smart, at least in some way. His parents still valued Louis far more than they valued Artemis, but he had accepted that. By the time Artemis was eighteen and ready to graduate, Louis was also ready to move on - and move away. Artemis was not happy about this. He felt like Louis was abandoning him. They argued for hours, both saying things that they would regret. Artemis ignored Louis up until the time he moved away, too proud to apologise. A few days after he moved out, Louis was killed in a car accident. Needless to say, Artemis was inconsolable. He didn't bother finish high school, and ran away from home, refusing to be stuck with his parents while they all grieved. Artemis was homeless for a while, and knew he needed to make money. Couch-surfing at his brother's friend's, he got a job in a bookstore, he wasn't making enough to find somewhere to live nor to feed himself. Using a few connections, as well as things that he learned while living on the streets, Artemis built something of an arms business. Nothing major, only a few handguns and knives, but he made a name for himself and was able to afford a shitty apartment and some food. He finds his occupation amusing in a way - no one ever expects to be sold a gun by a twink wearing a leather jacket and platform boots. His business is still running, and only growing - though he has received a very intriguing invitation that he's sure is some sort of scam.

likes
Efficiency, dogs, ramen, margaritas, the smell of rain, white noise when sleeping

dislikes
Broccoli, unreliability, arguments, reality television, coca-cola

vices
Rigid - Demonte is very resistant to change and struggles with changing plans spontaneously, though he often remains pessimistic on whether or not a plan will work out.

Aloof - Demonte seems very detached and almost incapable of forming human connections; whilst this isn't true, he does nothing to dispel these rumours.

Perfectionist - Demonte puts a lot of pressure on himself when it comes to work. He'll blame himself for various issues that occur, as well as anything that happens to those he's guarding.

virtues
Diligent - Demonte is meticulous and smart, and does what he does well. When he commits to something, he commits to putting his all into it.

Disciplined - Demonte can do the hard things that no one else wants to do. He can withstand a lot, and will for his work.

Reliable - Demonte will do as asked of him to the best of his ability - you can be sure that he is working his hardest when he is working for you and will do exactly as you ask.

skills
- Fighting; particularly hand-to-hand combat
- Attention to detail; he can pick up on anything that seems off
- Professionalism; Demonte can put his emotions aside to get the job done
- Threatening Presence; Demonte can often scare someone with a single glare

fears
Demonte often fears having regrets; regretting his line of work, or his lack of family or relationship. He has a pessimistic view on life, and tries to convince himself that he just has to live until he dies, but he often wonders if something emotional would add fulfillment.

ambitions
Demonte does gain satisfaction from being good at his job. He's humble, but he's secretly flattered to be renowned or held in high regard as a bodyguard.

personality
Demonte is often mistaken for being older than he is, on account of his constant furrowed brow and grave expression. He gives off a fair amount of negative energy, some of it intentional. He's not particularly interested in making friends or relationships, as he knows they would only get in the way in his line of work. Additionally, he thinks of most people as incompetent, further lessening his desire to get to know them. Demonte is very serious. You'd be hard-pressed to get him to crack a joke, or even a smile. He doesn't talk particularly much but he's not afraid to say what he thinks, confident in his opinions.

One thing that makes Demonte so good at his job is his protective nature; something that has often conflicted with his desire for logic and reason. The internal conflict is constant and yet very easily hidden. Demonte's emotions are hardly ever obvious. Most people say he is only capable of annoyance and anger. Realistically, Demonte is capable of far more than that, but he sees no advantage in letting anybody else know that. Demonte follows orders readily and to a T, but he's certainly not afraid of leading either. His looming presence often makes him seem authoritative, and he is more than happy to lean into that role if he feels it necessary.

childhood
[Trigger Warning - Questionable Police Activity]
Though people often don't guess it, Demonte was raised in a pretty normal, suburban family home. He is an only child, his mother working at a bank and his father a police officer. Growing up, Demonte idolised his father; he saw police as the ultimate form of good and morality in the world. He knew that his father was helping people, and from a young age became committed to following in his footsteps.

teenage and young adulthood
Demonte, good at following orders, breezed through the police academy. Young and starry-eyed, he was excited to start helping people the way he knew his father did. His father had retired by this point, but had had a good career in the force. The beginning of Demonte's career was exactly as he wished it to be - he felt like he was saving people, even in simple ways, like recovering a stolen wallet or stopping a drunk driver. The more integrated he became in the force, however, the more police culture made itself evident.

Demonte began to notice that a lot of officers seemed to exhibit more force than was necessary. Arrests were made that Demonte didn't necessarily agree with, or were far more violent than they needed to be. As Demonte moved up the ranks, he was promoted to a Special Forces Unit, where these issues were only more evident. Given the severity of a lot of crimes that they dealt with, Demonte's coworkers tended to treat those that they arrested very badly. Demonte found himself conflicted between his morals and following the rules that had been laid out for him. HIs view of his father changed, wondering if he'd been the kind of cop to arrest an sixteen-year-old who clearly had issues beyond stealing cars.

adulthood
Doubting his role in the force, a particular incident was the nail in the coffin for Demonte. He and his force were to ambush a suspected terrorist in his home, something they'd done a few times before. On this particular occasion, the suspect's family was home. The suspect had a knife, and Demonte was ordered to shoot to protect his men and himself. Demonte hesitated. The suspect's children were watching, and Demonte just couldn't bring himself to do it. Someone else on the team ended up shooting, and the suspect lived, but Demonte has never forgotten the cries of his young kids.

Demonte quit shortly after the court proceedings in which the suspect was found not guilty. He was able to land a job in a private security firm as a bodyguard, something that he found less questionable. Even if he was guarding someone who wasn't a good person, Demonte didn't have to shoot or hurt anyone that he didn't think he should. He much prefers being morally gray in regards to who he protects, rather than who he hurts.

Because of this, he wouldn't exactly mind providing his skills to the mafia, and for once, will let curiosity lead him.

appearance

the way tara presents herself physically is ever changing in order to fulfill whatever job she needs to get done. elegant and seductive? bold and intimidating? haughty and arrogant? she's got it down. these days, she most commonly opts in to an unassuming and demure demeanor, which allows for her to receive no suspicion for being up to anything more than some innocent flirting. her dark hair can cause confusion for those lucky enough to see her in more than one persona, she often makes use of exertions, styling, and temporary dyes to alter it's appearance. naturally, it is dark and curly, falling at shoulder length. her large brown eyes are very expressive, and cause people to view her as an open book, when in reality she's quite good at controlling these expressions and uses that to manipulate people.

style

tara sticks to the basics in terms of her go to daily wardrobe, it allows her to blend in to the background better. that being said, she does own a very wide variety of more dramatic clothing that she uses for various schemes and jobs.

personality

tara blanc is immensely difficult to get to know. if you think you know her- you've likely just met one of her several personas. but it's not quite as clear as either speaking with the real tara or an identity she has created- not when tara has carefully manufactured herself. she is a highly guarded individual, and resists giving away any personal information or revealing her true emotions about something, making it difficult for her to form true bonds.
tara is a great liar. it's not necessarily pathological, she feels no natural compulsion to do so and she always lies with a reason and a goal in mind, tending to keep in bits of truth in order to read as as genuine as possible, but it has become an all consuming habit. when the situation she calls for it (and it does quite a lot in her line of work) she becomes a well of information- making up believable factoids about her persona in a split second. naturally, she has an incredible memory, which she uses to keep her identities straight. highly intelligent and methodical, she has the ability to make airtight plans- but is fully capable to improvising if the plan goes awry.
a very pleasant person to be around, tara is charismatic and naturally compelling, but she doesn't have that large of a presence. she is able to go unnoticed until she wants to be seen, drawing specific people in with a bighearted conversation or a flirtatious smile. she is fantastic at reading people and anticipating their needs and wants. she thoroughly enjoys flirting and although she is only attracted to women, she flirts with a lot of men for work purposes and really enjoys getting the best of them with her seductive techniques.
tara has a very strong sense of justice. although she does make her living through less than legal means, she sticks to her own morals. with the exception of simple information extraction missions, she only cons people who have caused some real harm in the world. fortunately for her there is no shortage of wealthy men who have done something morally dubious. when she wants to get something done she commits to it one hundred percent, her determination is something to be reckoned with. despite having some morals she sticks by, tara is still very self serving. she tends to focus on herself before anyone else. she also deeply enjoys material positions and money, she has more than she knows what to do with- although she knows it can't buy happiness it sure helps.

skills

false identities

tara is an expert at falsifying believable identities for herself and other people. a highly skilled actress (or liar, depending on how you want to look at it) no one doubts her for a second. she has a large collection of identification documents- most of them stolen and 100% real, and those documents have just enough public information available about the identity tied to them to make them believable. she also has a crazy number of spare phones for these identities.

persuasion

tara's ability to read people allows her to easily persuade them into doing something or giving her something- whether that something is material items or information.

informants

tara has a few connections with people in power or people with proximity to power. she is able to get information from them through either blackmail or well planned allegiances.

linguist

in addition to english, tara is fluent in french and spanish. she also knows a very basic amount of italian. she can do french, spanish and italian accents while speaking english very well.

likes

crowds, flirting, reptiles, theatre, jazz, rain, cheese

dislikes

getting drunk, the color orange, rodents, hats, the smell of chlorine

fears

all her lies catching up to her at once, loosing her autonomy, living a dull life

ambitions

to deliver justice on behalf of those that can't get it for themselves

history

tw: religious trauma, homophobia, sa
tara was born in providence, rhode island to marlene and ralph blanc. from what she can recall, her earlier days were quite average. a charming upper class family just doing their best. her father was a lawyer and her mother stayed home to raise tara and her brother, michael, who was three years her senior. her family was deeply religious. providence was a very catholic town, so naturally she was surrounded by the faith. at first she didn't mind, sure she found going to mass highly boring, but it was her family's community and she enjoyed that when she was younger. they were a picture perfect family. while strict, her parents cared for their children and tara got along with her brother quite well. a prominent presence in the church, the family was the envy of many other upper class catholics in providence.
it wasn't until her early tweens that tara felt something was off. as all her friends were talking about their crushes on boys, she was completely disinterested. she did, however, harbor feelings for other girls. she took a chance and expressed this to her mother and marlene fell silent. "it's only temporary. you'll grow out of it." she said. tara hated that. she made sure not to say anything about her feeling to her father, she figured his reaction may be worse. she grew resentful of her parents and began to notice some hateful rhetoric that their church was pushing about the lgbtq+ community. she began to question her religion and, after feeling the she couldn't believe in someone that allegedly did not believe in her, she lost her faith in the catholic church.
she was a bit lost in the following years, she no longer shared her parents values and wanted to openly disagree with them but she didn't know how she'd get by without her parents support. so, she played nice. going into her teen years tara continued going to mass and even got a boyfriend to show off to her parents. well, daylen was more of a friend whom she'd confided in and he offered to help her out. they had a solid friendship, so their relationship was quite believable to others. it wasn't until the start of her junior year of high school that she took a huge risk, and lost her reputation forever.
it started nobly really, it did. tara had come across a girl, anne carter, crying under the stairs when she was supposed to be in class. anne was two year her younger, and tara was compelled to comfort the girl so she asked what was wrong. what anne described was despicable. their church's priest had been saying reprehensible things to anne, and sometimes even initiated physical contact. tara was enraged by this. still, both girls knew that just an accusation would not be enough. their church was inclined to band together to cover this sort of thing. so, they needed cold hard proof that no one could dispute. so, tara went in. one day she stayed at the church well past when mass was over and entered father joseph's office- with her phone in her pocket recording the entire conversation. by the time she ended the recording she had more than enough proof through his words alone. it may have been an impulsive move, but guided by spite, she informed the priest that she'd been recording and she would turn the audio file into the authorities. the man panicked. he offered her 5k in cash. she declined. then he offered 15k. she paused, then agreed to the money. the next day she got 15k in cash and after hiding the money away she went right to the police station to submit the recording. she knew taking the money was selfish, she wasn't even really sure why she took it in the first place. but hey, she never claimed to be honest.
after that day, taras life changed forever. a lot of the community claimed to support her, since father joseph was arrested and deemed guilty, but did not treat her well. she had forever tarnished their communities perfect reputation, which made a lot of the community mad. since she was a social pariah anyway, she came out as a lesbian, no longer afraid to cause a stir. the town hated that. even her parents sighed and shook their heads, thinking that she should not have brought this much attention to herself. the only person who truly supported her was her brother. the more booksmart of the two siblings, he had moved to new york for college, but called often to make sure she was doing alright. tara didn't know what to do with her life. she didn't have the best grades, but she could go to a mediocre college if she tried. that option didn't excite her though. still, she would do anything to move away from home. one day towards the end of her senior year, her mother told her that leaving town for good would be the best option for all of them. it stung a little bit, but tara knew she was right. marlene gave her daughter a decent sum of money to use however she wanted, as long as she left providence. tara left for new york, to be near her brother who welcomed her with open arms.
entering her adult life, tara got a decent apartment and a job as a secretary at city hall. she quickly learned two things- she hated bureaucrats and men would give her anything if they thought they could sleep with her. she started conning men in higher positions at city hall. flirting with them for money, material positions, or information. dealing in information became tara's favorite thing to do. it was the best way to screw these guys over and it could be sold for a hefty price if the right person wanted it. her operation rapidly expanded from city hall. tara created an arsenal of false identities- she was a mysterious woman at a bar, or a naïve waitress, or an intelligent accountant on any given day. one by one, men fell for her traps. she love the excitement of it all. having been given a lot of money by these men, she didn't know what to do with it all. still, that didn't stop her from stealing valuable material items from these men as well, slipping a gold watch into her pocket as she left a victims house or taking a wedding ring just to cause a little chaos. she also made a bit of a name for herself within criminal circles, with all the valuable information she was selling.
a few years into taking new york by storm, she started to crave something new. she'd seen it all in new york, knew the valuable targets, knew the social scene. it became easy. so, she decided to relocate. she moved to chicago about three years ago, maneuvering her (or rather, her many different personas) way into chicago's elite circles. she has taken information from many a politician or privileged individual, and sells it occasionally, but has kept her business a bit more exclusive than it once was in new york. not many know of her operation, and even those who do aren't entitled to a sale. the money she receives from these men is enough to keep her going, so now she has decided to keep her information mostly to herself, it feels more special that way. still, the same old chase is becoming repetitive, and tara is craving something larger.

personality

Violet Chandler is as fiery as they come. She has a sharp tongue and an even sharper mind. She’s quick to snap back and she almost always goes lower than you. She’s calculated and witty and knows how to put her pride aside to get the job done.

Violet is sarcastic, ruthless and impulsive. The best way to describe her would be like a shook up soda bottle. She has so much pent up energy and she always wants to be on the move, whether that, be shaking her ass for money or speeding down the road in her 2021 Yamaha matte black sports bike. She’s the type of person who likes to pick and poke—get underneath someone’s skin until they completely snap and then she’ll laugh in your face because you’re overreacting. Violet keeps everyone at an arms length, nobody ever truly knows who she is, they only know the big production she puts on and sometimes she’s not even sure she knows who that it is.

Above everything though, she’s loyal. She’s a ride or die type of bitch, Violet would roll over and beg if she thought it would benefit the family in anyway. She loves to party and have a good time whether that be by herself or with some random person she met at a bar because because she taught herself to be extremely sociable.

childhood

Violet Chandler was born on a sweltering summer night, august 20th to be exact, to a young, dumb rich heiress who got pregnant during her rebellious phase to the neighborhood bad boy who, of course, wanted absolutely nothing to do with her baby. So, she was forced to keep her pregnancy a secret, from her family, from her friends until she couldn’t hide her bump anymore. Her parents flew into a rage and locked her away from the public view until she popped out Violet. Who they promptly left on the doorstep of the local orphanage. Her mother never even got to hold her, the only thing she could do was name her by placing a notecard with the words ‘Violet’ scrawled messily.

So, Violet spent her childhood in an orphanage with no idea who was or where she came from until, at the of 4 she’s was adopted but it didn’t last long, it never did. She was quickly labeled at the problem child to these family who were looking for the a perfect little angel. It stayed like this for a while, a never ending cycle of Violet getting adopted until she was inevitably brought back.

teenage years

At the ripe age of 15 Violet found her forever home or rather, she found a family that could actually handle her outbursts and violent tendencies. They were a religious family, went to church every Sunday morning, and Wednesday nights. They forced Violet into the local youth group. This was about the time that Violet found out she liked girls, which caused some tension between her and her adoptive family.

Things got worse, the welcoming, kind man and women changed in an instance. Violet was no longer allowed to leave the house without a chaperone, which lead to her rebelling and falling in with the wrong crowd who taught her how to really have fun and let loose. This is when she met Angel. They fell hard for each other, and were practically attached at the hip from the moment they saw each other. It was a fiery passionate, one in a life time, love. A love that burned a deep hole in her heart.

Angel and Violet were in love for years, for better or worse. Angel was a leech, sucking the life out of her. She was the one who convinced her drop out of high school and runaway so they could be together “forever”. So they did, she packed a bag and ran away from home hand in hand in the person who would ruin her life.

Angel would go on to teach her all the ways of the streets, how to con a man out of his wallet. She taught her slight of hand, how to pickpocket anybody or anything. Living on the streets was tough, so she taught her how to fight, how to live and sustain herself. There were long periods of times where they were homeless and living on someone’s couch but she did it for love.

They were happy, and very much in love until, Angel convinced her to rob a bank.it would’ve been a quick job, Violet was supposed to be the bait until it went wrong. They hadn’t accounted for an officer to be with his family that day, or the fact that Angel would completely desert her, leaving her to take the fall for the whole thing and get thrown in the slammer but, because she was a minor she only received a year in juvie because the judge felt bad for her.

adulthood
Fast forward a couple of years, Violet, Age 18 finds herself hitchhiking across the country. Get high, and drunk everywhere she can. She’s heartbroken and angry at the world. She easily conned her way into homes so we can have a warm bed and homemade meal. This goes on for quite a while until, Beatrice Ludovici. A familiar face. A face. Angel had introduced her way back before when they were still madly in love. Violet didn’t really pay attention to the steely women then but, they quickly became fast friends when Violet showed her what she was capable of and they’ve been attached at the hip ever since.

XV.
THE DETECTIVE
scroll.

Walkin - Denzel Curry

OVERVIEW
NAME: Michael Terrance Wright JR
NICKNAMES: Mikey, Junior, Golden Boy
D.O.B: 12/26/1996
AGE: 26 years old
GENDER: cis-male
ORIENTATION: Demisexual
ROLE: THE DETECTIVE

APPEARANCE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: He's decently tall standing at a solid 6'1 with an athletic build to compliment it. His style alternates between his casual clothes of a jacket and a clean pair of jeans to wearing full blown well tailored suits depending on the event. Fortunately for him he looks handsome in whatever he wears.
FACECLAIM: Damson Idris

PSYCHE
PERSONALITY: He does his best to act like a good man. To be the man his father would have wanted him to be. Kind to those in need, compassionate to those in distress, and forgiving of others' mistakes. Taking on not just the name of his father, but acting as he would if he were still alive today. It led him to be well liked in the community, and his ability to restrain the act when necessary has given him a positive reputation with his precinct as well. A carefully maintained balance of being good enough to be a useful asset to the department, and a well liked figure among civilians allowing him insight and connections to both communities.

Beneath all of that lies an obsession. He needed to find the person who killed his father, and anyone connected to them. Michael was willing to do whatever it took, even bastardizing everything his father had taught him to be used as tools for revenge. He had no plans on bringing those responsible to justice within the bounds of the law. It was that adherence to code that left his father dying alone in some abandoned lot.

Relationships have also been warped to him. His father wanted him to be someone that sought to understand and connect with others, but now that understanding was used to weigh the cost/benefit of interacting with someone. How they might prove themselves useful to him and his cause.

Unknown to him there was still a part of him that wanted to be the hero that his dad was for him for someone else.

Vices:
Selfish: Despite whatever he might preach about caring about his community he is caring about the self interest of him and his own before he cares about anyone else. Selflessness held no real benefit to him so why would he bother in it.

Paranoid: He is extremely distrustful of most people he interacts with on the daily whether they be members of the family, or of the force. Keeping an eye and an ear out for any sort of betrayal was exhausting, but it’d keep him alive. Someone had to have betrayed his father.

Perfectionist: There was no room for being a failure in his life. He needed to be perfect. Anything less might as well be a death sentence.

Virtues:
Loyal: The people he would truly set aside anything for know he would commit himself to whatever it took to keep them happy.

Resourceful: He's spent his time inside, and outside the force making connections in Chicago. It's likely he knows where to go, and who to talk to when looking for information or simply getting a sweet deal on a plumber.

Determined: When he sets his sights on a goal he does whatever it takes to get that goal accomplished sacrificing whatever it took to get what he wanted. Setting his position in danger by associating with the mafia was only the beginning of what he was willing to do.

LIFESTYLE

Skills
Decent Aim: He's no desperado gunslinger, but he can defend himself with a pistol against the average would-be gangster.

Solid Boxer: He's no martial arts master, but he knows how to take a punch and has a pretty nasty right hook that'd lay out most people.

Investigation: His main strength and most valuable aspect is his ability of deduction. He's got a keen eye for the world around him, and piecing together a situation to find and answer was his specialty.

Profiling: His keen eye doesn't stop at just his physical surroundings. Michael is quite good at getting a read on the people around him as well.

Sociable: Despite his hyperawareness of almost every situation he maintains a friendly relationship with practically everyone he associates with.

Fears: His uncle learning of his connection to the Ludovicis, Dying without avenging his father.

Ambitions
Finding His Father's Killer: His main reason for cooperating with the Ludovici's was the fact that he had reason to believe the one who killed his father was involved with the massacre of the old family.

Finding His Own Peace: A part of his drive for this obsession is that he wants it for closure. To stitch up the open wound that he refused to let heal and scar with time. For his father's last case to not go unsolved.

TIME MACHINE
HISTORY:
Then: Michael knew he was going to be a detective just like his father ever since he was a kid. The man was well liked by his community and showed a dedication to his work that could not be compared. He taught him how to read a situation, and the most important skill a detective absolutely needed to have was empathy. To understand and visualize the perspectives of the people around him so that he could know what they would be the best way to help them.

He wanted to become just like his father. A strong caring man that was like one of the heroes straight out of his comic books. Which was a fair assessment to make, the man was a dominating force for good and inspiration to those around him all while managing to raise two sons as a single father. Of course he had help from his own friends and family to look after the boys when he couldn't. Although there was one exception, and it was that he would always make sure to be home every Saturday by 6pm to spend the night playing games with his sons. It was a tradition that he kept consistent for ten years until he missed one. Initially Michael and his little brother thought he might've simply gotten stuck in traffic, but when he didn't come home that night they knew something was wrong and called their uncle to tell him.

It was three days later that his father's body was found in an abandoned lot with three shots in the back. Investigation into the murder by police returned nothing and the search for the killer was dropped in a matter of weeks. Everything about the process infuriated Michael, but he saw how the police reacted when his uncle would get heated. Things would get reactive and the conversation turned into a shouting match between the cops and his uncle. Still, even when things got bad between his uncle and the precinct's boys in blue, plenty of cops made sure to give their condolences personally at the funeral alongside what seemed like most of the city.

There was one person out of all the participants that gave more than just condolences, but started Michael on his personal crusade against his father's killers. They gave him a flash drive telling Michael it was a parting gift from his dad. Inside was all the information his father had gathered in his investigation into the Ludovici massacre. Apparently there were those on the force he suspected in covering up the investigation.

With each second he sat there pouring over as much of it that he could understand he felt a burning seething rage that he would carry on until his father got the justice that he deserved.

Now: Sixteen years later he's been following in his father's footsteps taking up the mantle that he had left behind. Spending that time building up a reputation not just as his father's son, but a living legacy that he knew there could be something greater for this city. He made speeches on the importance of the police in Chicago, donated time to various community initiatives, simply aiding people when he managed to take notice, learning how to box, eventually taking firearms classes, becoming one of the youngest to rise to the position of detective all the while honoring his father and the legacy he left behind.

It wasn't until he became a detective after being promoted from a uniformed officer that he had begun properly continuing the work his father had left behind. Following in his footsteps once more.

The initial investigations were a struggle as finding anything worthwhile from the nearly two decade old notes from his father were more than outdated for most of this city, but practically obsolete in some cases. There were still some promising threads to chase after, but with how much of a public figure he was doing things personally would be hard to do alone. Especially if those that put a hit on his father thought he might investigate in a similar manner. His first real lead on anything came about when he realized the Ludovici mansion was being renovated for the first time since it was put up for sale.

He wondered why there was now a new owner of the estate after it being a rotting relic of a time long past. It was an idle distraction investigating the origins of the new owner, but it was possible that it might lead to something new that he might nit have discovered yet.

With a change in focus he began looking for any possible connecting threads between her and other people in the city. It was slow going at first, but then it suddenly stopped as he seemed to hit a roadblock in regards to the amount of information that could be found on her. Which gave him the much needed answer to his suspicion that her moving into that estate was definitely more than what it looked like on the surface. That same day he came to the revelation Michael found a letter addressed to him inside his apartment. There was obviously the simple solution of simply turning this in to his superiors, and setting the entire precinct on alert for the rise of the previous generations most prominent chicago crime family.

However that solution wouldn't get him any closer to avenging his father's memory. It'd be making a deal with a devil, but that was a small price to pay for revenge.

CuChulainn · Jul 11, 2023

Name: Padraig Coughlan [Paw-drig Call-Un]

Nicknames: Paddy

Age: 30

Nationality: Irish

Place of Birth: Derry, Northern Ireland

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Hetero

Affiliations:
Former member of a dissident Irish paramilitary group. Now completely loyal to the Ludovici family.

Occupation:
Ludovici Chauffeur

Role:
Padraig is the shield and tool for the head of the Ludovici family. He's primarily a bodyguard, but also muscle, and doer of things that need done.

Personality:
Padraig tries to be seen as a cold, standoffish, and generally stoic person. It’s his job to be those things. He also works in an industry where personal feelings can get in the way. He does his best to maintain this image of a man whose only role is personal protection.

When doing his job he is vicious and cold, he is singularly focused on achieving the task he’s been asked to do and will stop at nothing to do it, regardless of the dangers to himself or the likelihood of success.

He has his vices, alcohol being his largest. He will regularly drink himself silly to wash away his past deeds. He has no moral qualms with hurting, and killing his enemies or the people the Ludovici's tell him are enemies. But his past is not only filled with the bodies of enemies. These memories haunt him and uses alcohol as a crutch to wash them away.

On the inside Padraig is not so one dimensional, he has an old soul that yearns for a simpler life, but he’s never believed he deserved or earned any of the bounties a normal life would bring him. He also does not think he’d ever be able to fit into that sort of lifestyle, never be accepted. His guilty passion is reading, careful in who he allows to see this vulnerable side of himself.

Grappling with the person he is, versus the person he has to appear to be causes him much internal strife.

The other main trait of Padraig is his loyalty. He is totally loyal to the Ludovici family for saving him when all else had failed. If Beatrice said jump, he would ask how high. He owes a debt to her that cannot easily be repaid, he owes his life. Although, some would say this staunch loyalty was also a weakness to him. His moral compass was not quite so functional, and his unquestioning faith in the family could leave him exposed, he was afterall no one of great importance. He could just as easily become a fall guy, discarded and left to the dogs for the things he's done for the family.

Likes:

Secret reading habit
Alcohol, gambling, sex
The Ludovici family
Irish sports

Dislikes:

Large crowds
He is staunchly anti-british government
Aloof personalities

Skills:

Advanced driving
Weapon handling
Agility and hand to hand combat

Fears:

Going back to prison
Being found by loyalist paramilitaries
Seeing his inner personality revealed

Ambitions:

To be able to retire healthy back home to Ireland, he dreams of owning a small house in Donegal by the Errigal mountain.

Appearance:
For a bodyguard Padraig is quite slender, he’s well built but not overly physically intimidating. He relies on his skills and other physical attributes to do the job for him. He prefers not to intimidate by appearance but by actions.

Padraig prides himself in keeping a neat and clean look, on his downtime he’ll wear casual clothes, dark jeans and simple grey or black t-shirts. On the job he’ll be as professional as required, wearing a tidy black suit or shirt and waistcoat.

History:
Padraig was born in Derry, Northern Ireland. A fierce Irish nationalist he was sucked into the dissident paramilitary groups at a young age. Growing up in a desperately poor neighbourhood left him little other choice. At 20 he was already running drugs and guns across the border and distributing them to groups in Derry and Belfast. That was until he was caught by the PSNI. He was sentenced to 20 years in HM Prison Maghaberry.

Life inside was tough, the prison was a "rundown shithole". The guards were as corrupt as the men inside, and the men inside were the worst life had to offer. For the first time Padraig questioned the diehard beliefs that got him here, and for two years he seriously began to repent and reform. That was until the breakout occurred. Apart from himself, 6 other members of the dissident group were locked inside, and so, the leaders on the outside planned an escape.

For the guards on duty that night, they expected nothing other than a usual night. Until the bomb went off. Hidden in routine deliveries Padraig and the six other men had discreetly assembled a bomb over the course of two months. When it was ready they let it loose. The bomb went off in the east wing laundry room, blowing a huge hole in the side of the building. While the prison guards reacted the seven men, including Padraig were led outside by a group of guards that had been paid off. It was that easy.

Of course he could no longer stay in Northern Ireland so he was quietly moved out onboard a fishing trawler to Southern Spain. From here he made his way to North Africa and eventually across the Atlantic to the USA through Mexico.

His new job was to source more weapons from Boston, Chicago, and Detroit and organise for them to be sent back to Derry. It was all going well until two years ago when the leadership of his group in Northern Ireland were all arrested in a sting operation and the group disbanded. His identity was revealed. Interpol, Chicago PD, and British Loyalist paramilitaries were on the hunt. He had nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. A cornered dog in a foreign land. Until the Ludovicis granted him a lifeline.

personality
Elena has always had the unique gift of being able to adapt to her surroundings. Like a chameleon, Elena is constantly changing her persona, she can be a tease, a flirt, helpless or cold depending on what the situation calls for.

An inquisitive person, she likes to keep track of her surroundings at all times and tends to have an escape route ready from the moment she enters. She learned the hard way that it is a man eat mans world which has left her more on guard in dangerous scenarios.

Elena is extremely versatile, mysterious, and ferociously dangerous if you are against her. She is fearless, as well as stoic, efficient, cunning, intelligent, and unpredictable. She does not normally show any fear whatsoever in the face of any danger. She is extremely ruthless and will happily fight a grown man with her bare hands and will not let anyone walk over her. If you are in the wrong, she will let you know.

Loyalty and trust and are extremely important to her and once you gain them she will protect you with her life. If you break them, well she may just take your life... (depending on what you did to her).

Due to her line of work and the requirements of such, there is only a handful of people that would know the real Elena, the real girl behind the mask. She is a sweet, strong woman who sometimes cares too much about other people. She is fiercely protective of those she holds close and would risk her own life in a heartbeat to save a loved one.

History
Elena was born to Diego and Ana Garcia. Her father was Cuban and her mother Spanish. Unfortunately Elena never knew her mother as she died during childbirth. Diego struggled to cope with the death of Ana and began to project his grief and anguish on his daughter in the way of emotional, mental and sometimes physical abuse.

After a particular bad night which left Elena in hospital, CPS finally stepped in and took Elena away from her father and put her into the care of her Aunt (Ana's sister) who was living in America at the time and so at the age of 9, Elena left her home in Cuba and travelled to America to start her new life.

What Elena would soon come to realise was that her Aunt had criminal connections through her Husband and Elena was very quickly thrown into the dark underworld of streets. Elena was thrown into ballet class as a way to learn poise and discipline before she was thought how to fight, shoot guns, use knives and lastly but most importantly to blend into the shadows or become a chameleon. Her aunt and uncle never expected Elena to go down this route in life but living under their roof meant that she needed to be prepared.

Elena's aunt and uncle were killed in a home invasion by a rival gang when Elena was 16 years old, she thankfully had been out late that night but unfortunately she found the bodies, an image she can never erase. Elena packed what she could and ran that night, far away from the crime scene and all remnants of her life. She began to put her skills to the test and survived purely on stealing to eat. As she grew older and more confident, Elena began to con for more that just food but to maintain a handsome and luxurious lifestyle that she believed she deserved.

SOREN.
the tech expert.
HISTORY.
EARLY LIFE.
Born in the midst of their upper-class parents' divorce, Soren was exposed from a very early age to a dynamic range of trappings and environments. They were raised partly in the oversized apartments of Chicago's North Side; partly in Montreal, Canada, by their maternal grandmother; and partly in Sydney, Australia, by their father's sister's ex-husband's family.

By Soren's twelfth birthday their parents had settled their finances and personal problems and it was decided that Soren would live in Chicago and be sent between their new homes. The effect was that she'd belong to neither. Her mother and father each met new people and had other children with them — their new and first families, with Soren as the outsider, paid so little heed by any of them that they eventually convinced her that her isolation was her own choice. That something about her was just too radical for them to get close to.

So Soren went to the library and took out university-level books on engineering and over time amassed a number of electronics that they modified or reverse-built without really anyone's knowledge. On their fifteenth birthday he asked for a desktop computer and a credit card and they gave it to him readily, not thinking anything of it. And from then on they had a place to be, kind of, finally.

TEEN YEARS.
Those mysteries in your life that you're not even aware of.

Throughout their childhood Soren's parents became wealthier and wealthier to an extent that made them stop and think. For a long time they did not know nor could they guess how and it was just one of those things. Just one of the infinite questions they had about who their parents were. And not one of the ones that needed to be sorted out, necessarily.

But when Soren was seventeen, at a time when she and her father were battling, she downloaded the contents of his computer onto a portable drive. Upon investigating they discovered files that evidenced extreme wrongdoing: both of their parents, through the non-profit they'd long worked for, were involved in a nationwide labour trafficking operation — making undocumented workers from across the country go missing. Getting them inside big cargo trailers bound for California or Florida.

Shaken, Soren separately tipped off the Chicago PD, the FBI, and the media under false names.

They thought that trouble would come for their parents right away. Really, it was personal, what they wanted to see: two vain awful people turned radish, two families destroyed, and only the outsider surviving it all. But nothing happened. For a while, nothing happened. Not even mother or father promising, with great suspicion, to have a talk with them. After he or she got back from wherever.

But the news caught it. Just state-level at first, but then it went national, and then the FBI started looking at it.

By eighteen Soren had his own place in the city, and by nineteen they'd gotten their wish. In the end only their father went to jail for life, but the ordeal aged his mother like thirty years so it was good enough.

CURRENTLY.
Now Soren has an adult life, which is two lives: about half the week they're at a small front desk fixing toaster ovens and coffee machines, and the rest of the time they're performing surveillance and other activities against those they or some other party finds interesting enough. Yes, among the group of computer criminals hacking away at the Chicago area infrastructure, you can contact him — Nexus, their true identity a secret — and hire him for a fee. If you can afford to. And keep in mind, if you have damage to do to somebody, they won't do it for you.

Recently: someone has gone looking for Nexus with an invitation in hand. Not a client with an offer of that sort, but an invitation. To join who, to represent what, she does not know and could not guess.

The mysteries in your life.
PERSONA.
Vices.
Yielding, fearful, distrusting, uncommunicative, ill-mannered.

Virtues.
Practical, timely, honest, forward-looking, realistic.

Soren is... heady. Intellectual.

They're a self-taught genius who knows everything there is to know about systems — electrical circuits, computer programming, hardware design, cybersecurity, telecoms, anything with a motor or that plugs into a wall. They know their way around a keyboard as much as a wrench or screwdriver. She can look at a set of blueprints once and just know them forever. She spends a lot of time in screen-lit dark, building things or taking them apart by hand. She's at their most confident there. Because of the anonymity provided. They don't have to have a face or really speak with people.

When Soren's out in the world, the story is much different. They don't really know how to act like people do. When others are around they don't know what to do with their eyes or their arms or their whole body, really. Simply standing there is something they think way too much about. And he doesn't know how to engage with his feelings; they attack him at periods that seem random and once it's finished they're just like, well, okay. And they move on.

Soren has a lot of restraint — it would take a very devoted person to make him openly angry — and a very wide attention span, so they're always in this slow pursuit of everything they don't yet know. All the challenges they haven't yet taken on. Always. This makes them blind to much about themselves and the rest of their life, including those around them, though it's not like they're an unhelpful person. She's forgiving. She tries to hold other people up and consider them as much as he can. She has a morality that's totally about people and has nothing to do with laws or society's values.

I CAN GIVE YOU YOUR THANKS IN ADVANCE IF YOU WANT.
Likes.
Colder months, spicy food, late nights, shopping, online RPGs, draft beer.

Dislikes.
Certain sensations, being touched, having arguments, pet animals, cooking, TV.

Skills.
Electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, analytical mathematics, inorganic chemistry.

Fears.
Empty spaces and large crowds. Anywhere too open or busy.

Ambitions.
Not many. They'd kind of like a career in engineering or software dev or something, which at this point they'd be easily capable of getting, but they'd also kind of like to not ever have a real job, and just do their own thing. Decide herself whether her life means enough.
VISAGE.
General Description.
Soren is 5'7" and thin for her height. Lithe and quick on their feet. Exhausted like she just climbed the stairs. Their skin is smooth and dead-pale. Her hair is dark brown and wavy and they keep it cut above where their neck meets their shoulders. Her eyes are stone-greyish and sharp and they're not looking at you; they drop down to the ground when you talk to her; sometimes they hang there in a sort of helpless way, crashing into a disaster too huge for her to know or wager against. Like a fish on the killing block. They have these long fingers you'd expect to see handling needles and fine thread or really small tools.

Body Mods.
Two rings in each ear.

Style.
Fly. Stylish yet unusual — you can read in it that they don't spend a lot of time around people. They utilize layering and oversized pieces and part of why is to hide the exact shape of his body from others. So, like, fitted denims, 3XL men's shirts over tees, trucker hats, old military jackets and so on. For footwear it's rubberized boots or chunky skate shoes.

* personality
Let's start with the vices shall we? At the bottom of the list we have jealousy; whether it's toward friends, partners, or anyone in general who is doing something better than she is or when she's not getting enough attention, Selena does her best to hide this about herself but sometimes it comes out and sometimes at the most inconvenient times. In the middle we have arrogance; Selena is very full of herself and tends to think she's better or more important than others. Whether this is because of her looks, or she just has a huge ego, Selena can't help but feel like things would crumble apart without her. And at the top of the list we have greed; she is not only terrible with her desire for high end fashion and material things, she has no self control in buying the things she thinks bring her joy. With a closet full of Gucci and Prada, money in Selena's eyes is just disposable. Plus, if you give her something and she doesn't like it, she will probably just throw it out.
Despite these bad things, there are some virtues that Selena possesses. When she isn't lusting over material things or getting jealous about the littlest things, she is a kind person; she will do everything in her power to make sure others are happy and thriving. The one thing she strives for is to bring general joy into people's lives. She is honest; while some things are kept secret, Selena is known to tell those who she is loyal to the whole truth to everything. There is not a secret she will keep if she loves you (and yes sometimes it might be TMI but it is a way to show love). And finally, she is loyal; once you accept her into your life and you are accepted into hers, she will be stuck with you forever. Even through hard times, or the best times, Selena devotes herself to those she considers friends or family.
Skills: She's great at getting info, singing and most instruments except drums, fighting (she took some classes), and gathering secrets.
Ambitions: Wants to be recognized and travel the world on tour and to release her first album.
Other: Has a teacup chihuahua named Lacey. She's often seen writing songs, recording music, and partying it up.

* history
With the way Selena lives her life now, you would never look at her and expect the darkness that she learned to grow from. Born to two drug addicts who had no business having children, Selena never grew up with the cookie cutter life she saw other kids have in the magazines and on TV. She had to fight to keep herself alive. It was a miracle how the pair kept Selena alive before the age of 5 where she learned to cook for herself. She was like a mini adult in a child's body, doing her best to keep herself alive. It wasn't until she was 10 when they began to abuse her because she learned how to stand up for herself. Her dad was the worst though. He hated how perfect this little girl was while they wasted away their lives on whatever drugs they could spend their little bit of money on.
Selena spent most of her childhood stealing food, clothes, and toys. She became sneaky, learning that her age could always be used to advantage in the best and worst ways possible. She was able to hide her parents' addiction from the world, pretending that she was the angel child. She was smart, more than most her kids were. Her school had no idea what went on at home. She was great at hiding all the bad things from everyone because she was scared that she would end up in the foster system. She didn't like people, she didn't know what they were capable of or how they would treat her. Because despite her parents being the worst, she truly believes that the foster care system would be worse.
Selena was 10 when she first met Violet Chandler and Bea Ludovici. Though the impact of the new friendships didn't have much on Selena's life at first, soon Bea and Violet became a lifeline for Selena. As she got older, her fathers abuse became worse. She was leaving the house every day, hiding her bruises with stolen makeup and pretending like the bones he broke didn't hurt. She put up with this suffering for years before the night that almost ruined her. The night that the group saved her. Her father had drugged her and it was the first time Selena truly feared for her life and finally called for help, and help came.
Since then, Selena has been a devoted friend to Bea. Doing anything the girl needs at the snap of her fingers. Selena never grew up with a family, but Bea gave her one and for that, Selena is forever grateful. She doesn't tell anyone about her past but if they knew there would be a clear distinction why she is the way she is. The material things make her happy because she could never have things that weren't stolen. Her attachment issues are because of her fear of losing people she cares about. The years of abuse now masked by her smile and bubbly personality. But the only people who truly know when Selena is struggling are Bea and Vi because with them she has no veil to hide the darkness.
misc.

* family
Bea ~ Has known Bea for basically forever. With 18 years of friendship, Selena wouldn't know what to do with herself without Bea in her life. She's the person Sel has the most confidence to confide in. There are no secrets that Sel will keep from Bea.
Violet ~ Having known Vi for just as long, the girls' personalities are little too much for each other. You can often find them arguing over the smallest things or constantly flirting with each other. There's no great balance there.
Angie ~ He's like a brother to Sel. She often does things that will irritate him, bother him, or will do her best to just make him laugh (though it fails 99% of the time). She likes to call him Angie cause he fights back on her about that.
Papa Tex ~ Sel has never had a father figure in her life. At least not until she met him. When he helped save her from her family, she ended up bonding with him as if he is the dad she always dreamed of. She has a lot of appreciation for how he accepted her.
Salem ~ Sel is adamant about getting him to feel anything. He acts cold towards her, insults her, and pushes her away. But she's known him forever and knows there's something about him that makes her heart flutter. But, because of her loyalty to Bea she does her best to keep him at arm's length for fear it would ruin her friendship with everyone.
