One x One Cabriolet

[Mordecai]

Name: Killian T. Hopper


Age: 29


Overview: Growing up the youngest of five in a low income house just outside of Detroit, Killian Hopper was determined from a young age to make a name and a life for himself. Sick and tired of hand-me-downs and thrift stores, Killian was an ambitious and bright young boy with a charismatic smile and a determined twinkle in his eye. School treated him well, and while he never did outstanding in any of his classes, he was always a popular student amongst teachers and students alike. Known for toeing the line, he never explicitly broke the rules or did anything bad—never was a smoker, a drug user, an alcoholic—but he enjoyed trouble and got into plenty of it.


Mostly with the girls.


There is just something about Killian that drew people to him, and it certainly didn’t hurt that he had always been a good looking man, but it was more than that. He never had to go out to deliberately make friends because people would always just come to him and by college, no one argued that Killian was destined for great things. Moving to Las Vegas on a scholarship, he attended the University of Nevada and pursued a degree in business, but dropped out after his second year. By twenty-seven and without a degree and hardly a dollar to his name, using his charismatic and handsome charms, Killian had all but begun to build a gambling empire.


What started as managing a single casino quickly turned into investing in the casino, which quickly turned into owning and building new casinos and hotels in the area. By the time he was twenty-nine, Killian was a multi-millionaire and nothing short of a modern day Great Gatsby. Killian ruled Las Vegas with his lavish, high-end parties and luxurious lifestyle. He was a passionate young man; his fervent determination and strength did not show itself bashfully in his casino floors.


Named one of America’s most successful Entrepreneurs and given the title of Las Vegas’ most eligible bachelor, Killian is living in the lap of luxury without a problem in sight, but the high-rolling life has costly consequences.


Good thing Mr. Hopper is as cunning and sly as a fox.

BIO

​

Born to parents with more determination and drive than any two people have right to, Artemis Van Wilcox is no stranger to the finer things in life. Her mother a lawyer, her father a politician, and she herself highly intelligent, even at a young age, Artie was destined for greatness. Rebellion, however, lives even in the hearts of the well-to-do and wise, and early in her teenage years, Artie showed a propensity for trouble that was largely frowned upon by her family. By seventeen, Artie had moved out of her home in the Hamptons and moved in with a rather questionable young con man named Jason.


Drawn in by his intensity and charm, Artie was pulled into a world of deceit and danger - everything from small time pick-pocketing to ripping off casinos. The longer she stayed with him, the worse things became - but it wasn't until Jason's plans began to grow increasingly more violent that Artie realized the trouble she'd caused and knew she needed to get out.


Three years later Artie was in a dire situation, facing a life on the streets and possible prison time, but with clever finesse by her parents, she was able to pull herself upright and (albeit indebted), found herself with a new value on life. Determined to do better, Artie poured herself into rehabilitation - first her own, than others. Eventually, Artie found herself leading an addiction's meeting deep in the heart of the seediest city in North America. Las Vegas.


Unfortunately, rehabilitation of the lost and depraved wasn't quite enough and over time, Artie began to take on another more challenging endeavor. Taking down the source of the problem - the casinos, themselves. Using the skills she learned while living with Justin, Artie found herself toeing the line - cheating casinos out of money in the hopes of damaging their financial structure.

PERSONALITY

​

Artie has her moments - which seems, really, the best way to describe her personality. She can be warm and bright, a blazing sun, passionate and moving, or cold and rigid as a winter's evening, difficult and stubborn. Born privileged, but familiar with the hard-end of life as well, she ranges from understanding and compassionate to having a bit of a chip on her shoulder. She also tends to be a touch guarded when it comes to matters of the heart, but folds easily enough with the right motivation.


Artie has always been smart, but has a bad habit of using her intelligence for the wrong reasons. She doesn't trust easily and has a penchant for trying to do things on her own, rather than asking for help - she detests the idea of owing anyone anything and almost always assumes there's an ulterior motive when it comes to the behavior of those around her.
