❝ persona. ❞
personality— malachiah was raised by both the streets and his mother. it shows with how he carries himself. though his posture seems casual, if one pays close enough attention they’ll realize that it’s not the case at all. malachiah is similar to a spring or a viper, waiting for an attack or to strike. he stays on high alert, making sure that he’s fully aware of his surroundings. with a life like his he can’t afford to be caught slipping or it could cost him his life. malachiah moves in silence. he doesn’t make it a habit of announcing his next move, doesn’t boat about the life style he lives. instead he keeps it close, only sharing with those in his inner circle while others are left guessing. malachiah is someone who prefers actions over words. he doesn’t waste time with trash talking, when he says that he’s going to do something he’s most definitely going to do it. the young man doesn’t bluff and it’s hard to change his mind once it’s set.


he is seen as intimidating by others. the mean mug that he usually wears is enough to keep people away all by itself, his reputation is another solid shield as wel. malachiah always has a cold look in his eyes, or so he’s been told. his look makes people believe that he’s believe that he’s up to no good, that he’s plotting trouble on the sly. people often think that he’s nothing more than a brute, a thug with only violence on his mind. instead malachiah is cunning and calculating, he things before his next move. he plans what he does carefully in order to not slip up. he’s a perfectionist in that regard, boarding on paranoid even.

malachiah is observant, something that he learned from the streets. he pays attention to detail and it has saved his life many times in the past. malachiah has a way or reading people, of figuring out if someone is bullshiting him or not and it makes others nervous. he keeps what he peeps out to himself for the most part, pretends that he doesn’t notice anything at all. people are more receptive when he plays dumb. they’re easier to manipulate when all they see is what they think he’s like.

he puts loyalty above all else and family right along with it. when malachiah is good to someone he expects the same treatment back. he’s always been good at looking after his own, taking care of those in his circle and rewarding them for their loyalty. despite what he does malachiah is community oriented to a certain point. having grown up in holden he does give back to his community, perhaps as a way to make up for what he’s doing. the kids flock to him as he gives them money and the adults praise him for how his crew protects them from other gangs and crooked officials.



positive traits— loyal, observant, patient, cunning, family-oriented, intelligent, strategic
negative traits— insensitive, confrontational, perfectionist, unforgiving, vengeful, intimidating, paranoid

likes— american bullies, designer Shoes, true crime shows, vintage cars, home cooked meals, soap operas
dislikes— clingy people, traitors, snitches, cats, loud people, cops, his plans being messed with

hobbies— planning his next move, shooting hoops, expanding his territory fears— losing his empire

❝ history. ❞
background— Malachiah is a true Holden citizen, born and raised in the city. And he’s sure that he’ll die within it too, caught in the endless cycle that plagues the life of D Boys and those who aren’t able to leave the community. His story is nothing special, no different from many of those around him. Malachiah was born to a hardworking mother but a deadbeat father, a man who didn’t even bother to be in and out of his life. Malachiah’s mother was a proud one, so she didn’t beg for his father to pay attention to Malachiah. She would raise her son with the help of her own mother instead. And work she did. Diana worked a total of three jobs in order to put food on the table, a cleaning job that she worked with her mother and two waitressing jobs. Her dreams of attending college had been cut short with the arrival of her son, but she did what she could to provide for him.


His mother tried hard to shield him from the realities of life, she did her best to keep him away from the violence and crime that plagued their streets. But Diana wasn’t always around and as Malachiah got older, he began to notice. There were times when his mother would cry to herself, muffling her sons with her hands as she tried to figure out how rent would be paid or how they would eat. Malachiah was an observant child, he noticed that his clothes were often hand-me-downs, that they had a lot less than many people in their community. His peers made him all too aware of it.

It wasn’t long before the call of the streets beckoned him with promises of wealth. They taunted him, questioning how he could just sit by while his family struggled. Malachiah started off as a normal corner boy, but eventually he formed his own group that eventually turned into a gang. The Vice Lords made their mark on Holden, relentlessly they increased their territory and pushed back competition. Malachiah created his own Empire and his family never went without again.

psyche









Years of societal cruelty has worn Sandy down into, for lack of a better word, an edgelord. They're angry, antisocial, and immature in nature. They dislike most people and make that fact known, most of their friends being people on Twitter who listen to their existential complaints. They're a self-proclaimed nihilist and revel in schadenfreude, particularly against the wealthy and privileged. Parents hate them, and children fear them.

To say that Sandy has a lot of growing up to do would be an understatement. Despite being a whole 21 years old, they've got about the same energy as a teenage boy -- crude, hostile, and often grotesquely detailed in their language. Sandy won't say "I'd rather die", they'll say, "I'd rather get my head cut off and be gutted like a fish". It often comes off somewhere between PMSing and macho posturing considering their genderfluidity -- they have all the negative traits associated with women and men, it'd seem. That and their gothic outlook gives them a rather bleak opinion of most things. Their assumptions about anyone or anything will rarely be positive and they have very little faith in humanity. The only things they visibly show love for are the cats living around The View that they feed regularly, much to the chagrin of the landlord and other tenants.

Though, to paint them in an entirely negative light wouldn't really be fair. Being an overt and aggressive anarcho-communist, Sandy is extremely generous even when they have little to give. They have utmost compassion for other downtrodden folk when it comes to finances, as well as being victims of bigotry. They like to act above-it-all and misanthropic, but they do care about things -- all sorts of things, in fact. They're passionate about the arts, politics and animal welfare. In fact, most of the crimes they have committed were in protest of something, whether it be scrawling graffiti on the new buildings in the area or helping their local animal shelter break into puppy mills. So, while their persona is blatantly trying too hard, they do have a soul beneath their blackened, rock exterior.

As well, their love life has been remarkably stagnant despite them running in circles known for sexual promiscuity and openness. In fact, they clam up at even the idea of dating, and in general believe that they won't be alive much longer -- which could mean they have very bad luck, or that they genuinely intend to do themself in. They're far more interested in the "gender" part of gender and sexuality, enjoying creative forms of genderplay and self-identification. Their exploration of their own identity has led to it becoming a very esoteric thing, which they understand but struggle to describe.






likes

Goth music, watercolor painting, cats, singing, political satire, collecting neopronouns, barbecue






dislikes

The bourgeoisie, centrists, dog breeders, doctors, Aunt Maggie, most talk shows, musical theater






hobbies

Painting, feeding the local stray cat population, singing, busting dogfighting rings, poetry






fears

Asking others for help! Ew! Terrible! Also, heights.

history









Sandy was born in Manhattan to two parents and one older sister. They spent their early years in relative luxury -- they were hardly Jeff Bezos, but they didn't struggle for much, either. This was until 2008.

Both of their parents worked for Prudential Real Estate. However, the housing crisis of '08 led to them being laid off. Employment was scarce, money was hard to come by, and the Buckleys were forced to move to Holden when Sandy was seven years old. The private school Sandy attended previously was traded for a public elementary, and their sister was forced to drop out of the Ivy League college she worked hard to get into.

Due to still appearing relatively wealthy, the Buckleys were initially met with suspicion -- after all, you don't see many white families with Ivy League daughters hanging around Holden. However, they were soon accepted as just another fixture of The View. Sandy wasn't so lucky, though. Early on in their life, they were diagnosed with autism. They didn't even speak until they were five, leading most people to believe they were either selectively mute, severely impaired or both. They were already bullied in their previous school due to this, and the people at their new school were hardly any more forgiving. The rather laissez-faire school staff weren't particularly helpful when it came to cases of students fighting and bullying one another, as more emphasis was put on making sure students would even be able to graduate.

An incident in middle school led to Sandy suffering mild brain damage after they were shoved down a long flight of stairs and landed squarely on their head at the bottom. Their parents got them the help they needed, but continue to be in medical debt to this day as a result. Meanwhile, Sandy's personality only changed for the worse, it seemed. Their temper shortened, their spatial awareness was shot, they spoke with a slur and began having seizures seemingly at random. This only isolated them further.

Instead, they took refuge on the internet, where most if not all of their friends resided. They declined the idea of attending college and instead snagged a low-wage job at an animal shelter, and they continue to live with their parents. Though they can't work in customer service or retail due to what's been marked as an "erratic" personality, they have shown to be good with animals. They work in the hopes that they'll be able to move out and start a new life away from Holden -- maybe away from anyone in general.

psyche


















A lot of people would label Godot as someone who you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. This is an extremely incorrect opinion. Godot's not cuddly or lovable by any stretch, in fact he can be pretty rough around the edges, but he's nothing if not well-meaning. He's always got good intentions, which is enough for him to get at least a little offended when people mark him as a threat.

He's definitely no softie, though. Since he deals in hard drugs, he's no stranger to street brawls and having guns put to his head. However, this hasn't lead to hostility -- in fact, it's moreso lead to paranoia. Godot is extremely neurotic to a point that it nears conspiracy theory, and he's been known to paint over the inside of his bedroom windows and collect many, many fake identifications. He's especially wary of the Vice Lords, due to the possibility that he might be encroaching on their turf somehow. If they do care, they'll have trouble digging through his 27 false identities to find him.

Godot can also have a temper on him, though it'll really only manifest if he feels well and truly fucked with. In particular, he's not one to allow you to shit-talk his family. He also doesn't make much time for self-amusement. In general, he's the picture of someone who was forced to grow up just a little too fast, and now has forgotten how to enjoy himself. He's highly work-oriented and doesn't offer himself up to many people, so he's never even been on a date before in his life. One could even argue he's an a-type, though this is up for debate -- you won't see him in any preppy vests or pocket protectors. He's still very much a child of the city.

Despite all of this, he is extremely well-read and intelligent, though he mostly became this way in the hopes that it'd make him more appealing in the workplace. He's largely abandoned philosophy and personal pursuits in favor of the workforce, but if he were to allow himself some downtime, he'd be an intriguing conversational partner and an extremely loyal friend.












likes


Autumn weather, cartoons, pine-scented things, tank tops, cigars












dislikes


Creepy customers, transphobes, swimming, rats, people who insult his family












hobbies


Reading the classics, watching Columbo












fears


Having his family's safety compromised, pregnancy

history


















(TW for attempted sexual assault mentions)

Godot was the fourth child and second daughter, later third son, of his family. He was born in Holden to severe but expected poverty. After one more child, Godot's father was arrested due to an accidental hit-and-run on a wealthy Manhattan landlord. The Labelle family didn't have the money to pay his bail, and he won't be up for parole until Godot is 28 years old. Therefore, he spent the remainder of his life fatherless. While his mother tried her hardest, she struggled to maintain her family and they spent many years homeless as a result. It wasn't until his eldest sister turned sixteen and got a job that they were able to move back into The View. However, this also resulted in said sister dropping out of high school.

Twice more, Godot saw it happen. His elder brothers both entered the workforce as young as they could and dropped out of school, with no chance of attending college. Despite this, they were still barely along the poverty line, and it only got worse when Mrs. Labelle's health suddenly declined due to her bad smoking habit. With no way of paying her medical bills, there was little for them to do but pitifully watch her waste away on the living room couch. Godot was only thirteen when she died.

Without a parental figure beyond his older sister, Godot was extremely lost. He began cutting school to sell old trinkets of his. When he ran out of trinkets, he sold candy bars. He changed his name, having had a realization about his gender identity during high school, and his family was too spread-thin to have any complaints. However, this also resulted in Godot falling victim to transphobia, which lead to him avoiding school even more.

When he realized candy was basically worthless, he had an idea. Buying from a low-level supplier named Dennis, he began dealing weed. His younger sister wanted to get into the film program at CCNY after graduating, so he was relatively desperate. Weed wasn't worth much, so he widened his stock a bit to include harder stuff like coke, molly, basically whatever he could get his hands on to flip at a higher price. Though his occupation was fraught with danger, he persisted. After a client attempted to "pay with his body" so to speak, Godot kicked him in the groin, and figured he should invest in that top surgery he'd been wanting. And that's roughly where he is now. One year post-surgery, still trying to support his family and get his little sis through college.
