Realistic or Modern Let's Paint This Town Red ~ Street Kids and Gang Wars (Characters)

[Mad_Hatter]

So you're an artist. Awesome. Are you really going to spend your life begging rich folk to buy the art you make? Are you really ready to meet deadlines for your paintings? Or maybe your parents won't let you become an artist. Maybe you just need a place to stay. Your reason for joining us doesn't matter, the point is -- you're one of us now. Welcome to La Amarra.

La Amarra values two things; Loyalty and Skill. If you're a good artist, and you're loyal to us, there won't be any problems. We won't make you get a tattoo or scar you in any way. We just need your loyalty. Joining is simple. Meet with me, show me your skill, and if I deem you good enough, you're allowed to join. You tag our wall, add a drop of your blood to our collective bowl, and then make a pledge. Nothing too intense. Not like our rivals.

We split downtown with I Pittori, our much more violent and intimidating rival. They are less skilled, but their leader values brawn and intensity over all else. He likes to siphon off turf from neighboring gangs, but we won't let him do that to us. We might not have the physical might of I Pittori, but we have the brains to take them down.

Jax Raynar

Age: 22
Gander: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Jax is like a storm. She's calm and collected but has a distinctly impressive presence around her. She destroys what she wants without a second thought or a blink of an eye. She commands attention just by walking into a room. She's understanding, mature, and empathetic. All of her actions and words are carefully thought through. Her artistic skills are hard to rival. Jax is the perfect leader. Until it comes to i Pittori. She cannot control herself when it comes to the rival gang. She becomes explosive and impulsive when around them. She doesn't think, she just acts. She becomes short-tempered and dogmatic in her hatred against them.
History: Jax spent the first seven years of her life with her mother, who was a crack whore. She stole money off of the men her mother would sleep with and buy art supplies. She was rescued from the situation at seven years old and placed in multiple different group homes. She ran from the system at 16. Jax spent four weeks on the street before meeting a boy and moving in with him. They set up the first graffiti gang together. And then the boy left her. He kicked her out of his apartment, excommunicated her from the gang, and practically ran her out of town. Jax found her own home, started La Amarra alone, and built her gang up from a group of sad graffiti artists to a network of organized criminals.

TYRUS

name: tyrus faustin
gender: male
sexuality: heterosexual
age: 24

personality: calm and collected at all times. introspective and somewhat withdrawn. prefers to observe from a distance rather than contribute to the chaos. deeply cynical but endlessly loyal, and very emotionally supportive. a great ear for all your woes. trustworthy but distant, and very very blunt. prefers to keep to his inner circle. a gentle soul, but never sensitive. kind and caring from a distance.

history: tyrus was brought up in richer quarters of the city by his wealthy father, a shrewd and successful businessman, a poster boy for masculinity. his mother had died in a car accident before he was born, for whom his father made a poor substitute. for the entirety of his childhood, tyrus' father tried his best to make his son more like him - strong, powerful, dominant. yet tyrus remained the shy, sensitive boy who barely ever spoke. he wasn't the brightest kid, and never really understood which part of football drove the other guys in his class crazy. instead, he found his passion in art. he found a way he could express himself without words - something he wasn't very fond of doing anyways. when his father insisted he attend business school, and tyrus refused, his father turned his back on the boy. he moved out at eighteen, renting a small apartment with four other friends and working as a waiter by day and artist by night. it took him a year to sell a single painting - but when he did, art galleries around the city pounced upon him like dogs, each offering a greater and greater price for his works. suddenly, he felt repulsed - by the galleries, by his money. his art had become a business, not an expression of identity. with enough money saved up, he enrolled at an art school in the city. but a part of him was missing, the part that found freedom in creating art. and this was when he decided to become a graffiti artist, an artist with nothing to gain. quickly coming into contact with others who had a passion for his trade, he learned about and decided joined one of the city's graffiti gangs - La Amarra.

Amelia Lynn Abbot

Boring, blah, blah,blah

22
“Female, according to the last time I checked”
Graysexual/Panromantic

Deeper

Amelia Lynn Abbot once praised for her perfect manners and princess-like etiquette now roams the streets running rapid graffitiing every wall she could get her hands on. She used to be the perfect example of the perfect daughter, key word used to be. Amelia has a cool exterior but she is filled with anxiety to the brim. She does not handle under pressure situations well. Amelia is incredibly loyal to everyone she loves, she would never turn her back on anyone who is important to her. Despite having proper etiquette drilled into her through her younger years, she tries to leave all of that behind by putting up a front, a confident, Suave facade. She’s very secretive, she doesn’t want anyone to know her past and where she came from because of a fear where she’d be judge harshly

Deepest

Amelia Abbot, just born to Frances Abbot and Tommy Abbot on a humid summer day (June 5th 1995) Amelia was born into a wealthy family, The Abbot industries, famous for making and selling their own wine. Amelia never felt like she fit in with their life style. She tried her hardest to live up to her mommy and daddy’s expectations but to no avail. At a young age her parents knew she wasn’t like her twin sister Amanda. Amelia’s parents sent her to a boarding school fit for a princess( this is where she learned all of her manners and etiquette). After three years she was sent home because the boarding school thought she had improved with her anxiety but Amelia knew how to fake it, like a champ, she just wanted to be sent home.

After all, she still couldn’t get from behind her sisters shadow, this put a lot of pressure on Amelia to the point where she would sit up in bed at night have full blown panic attacks because in her parents eyes she was never good enough. He sister Amanda had straight As and was a four time champion for thier school debate team and the Vice President for the school concil. All Amelia wanted to do was paint and draw and take pictures and this was highly frowned upon by her parents.

“Art isn’t going to get you into Harvard, Mellie.”

“You have to try harder, Amelia”

So many comments about how she wasn’t good enough and she couldn’t take it anymore. She ran away her last year of high she ran away. She lived on the streets for a while. Until she came across La Amarra. She’s finally happy without all the pressure and she can finally make art without anyone tell her no.

(No art is mine I give credit to the rightful owners this is just to give a sense of her art style. Her style varies depending on her mood)​

Let's Paint This Town Red - Street Kids and Gang Wars

 

[MidnightStar]

Name: Kayla Harris

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Sexuality: Straight

Personality:
Kayla is a very quiet child. She never speaks her mind because she's afraid to get punish doing it. She can be stubborn at times but the majority of the time she just goes along with what's happening. She can be very mischievous and is very smart.

Spoiler: Bio

History:
Kayla was born on a cold fall night, but not long after she was born she was abandoned by her parents. She lived in an orphanage for the first five years of her life before getting transferred to a foster home. She loved an older lady who was around fifty that loved and cherished the child and for the first time Kayla felt like she had someone who loved and cared for her. She lived with the widow for five years. Due to legal things she was not able to get adopted for a long time but finally the widow was able to adopt her. The year she was suppose to get adopted the older lady died in a car crash.

Kayla didn't get much time to mourn. She was quickly transferred into a new foster home. It was a woman and a man, they were nice to her when she first came but eventually their true colors came out. They took most of her things leaving her the bare minimum. They only let her keep three things so she kept her notebooks, art supplies, and a photo of her and the older lady drawing together.

Art was the only thing that made Kayla slightly happy. She would draw any chance she got, especially of eyes. She loved looking at people's eyes and draw them, many were of her foster parents angry eyes or her sad; teary eyes.

(Where she is when rp stars. Hasn't joined the gang yet)
One day when she got home from school she found the man and woman inside the house. Already the were hyped up on drugs and in a moods. Her foster mom beat her up pretty good while her father watched. For a long time she just took the punches, but then something snapped in her mind. She fights against the woman. When she escapes the woman tries to grab her but was to high do anything. Kayla took off running through the city without stopping. When she finally stops she realizes she has no idea where she is or where to go. She wonders the streets trying to figure out what to do next.

Quinn Beckett

Spoiler

Name: Quinn Asher Beckett
Age: 18
Gender: Cisgender Male
Appearance: 5'5'', 105lbs
Sexuality: Homosexual
Personality:
Quinn is aggressive, loyal, and really screwed up. He hates people telling him what to do so he makes his own path in life. He is friends with the few who understand him and to those who don't and prefer to put him down or patronise him, he says fuck you and shows your face where the door is.
History:
He grew up in a small town where nothing ever happened. His mom was a drunk and his dad slept around. He was the product of two people who didn't need him so from a young age he has had himself and no one else. He has been in the gang since he was 10 and so his art style changes but there's one thing that never changed which is music. He learned the guitar when he was 9 and has learned many instruments since. He is an amazing graffiti artist but a better musician so the nex time you hear the strings of a guitar or the bangs of drums, it's probably Quinn.
