Nickname:
Emi
Age: 31
Gender: Cis Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Ethnicity: Afro-Cuban, Korean
Family: Avancini

Appearance:

Personality:
People use a lot of words to describe Emilio.

His colleagues might call him a born leader, a cool head to keep the others in check. The one to not crack under pressure when everything seems lost, even in the heat of the fire. His enemies might have the same kind words to offer; they call him a young power-grabber, a newcomer biting off more than he can chew.

There's some truth in both, though not in the way somebody might assume.

With every breath, step, glance, Emilio strives to be more than just a good leader; he wants to be an amazing one. Ice cold nerves, determination, and harsh self-discipline are his lifeblood, making him the capable man he is today. He strives to be the modern Renaissance man, armed with a wide array of knowledge and skills. He is well-read and very much capable of expressing and organizing his thoughts, something that is critical for when the world is on your shoulders. Calm-spoken, surprisingly kind to those around him, and endlessly patient, Emilio is a man that is hard to offend, much less anger. That does not mean he will tolerate disrespect; but he is not one to rise to jabs or placed traps for the sake of his pride.

It's not hard to see why he inspires loyalty in the other Avancini. Boss he might be, but Emilio is under no illusion that a boss is anything without his members - listening to problems, morning chats over coffee, and shared food are just one of the many rituals he shared with the Avancini, hoping to be a colleague and friend rolled in one.

There's his problem, though. He wants to be the mercy, justice, and anger of a God all at once. A very difficult task for one man alone - not that Emilio won't run himself into the ground trying.

Working into the late hours of the night, waking early to work some more, sparring, reading, finding secrets, checking on his members and status alike, trying his very hardest to make the organization run as it should. It's not that Emilio is not good at what he does; no, the exact opposite of that. But one man can only do so much with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Unfortunately for him and others, Emilio is unwilling to load some of the weight on anybody else. When he's not shaking from too much coffee and too little sleep, he's rushing to better himself at any costs. There's so much left to be done when he rises and no convincing will make him stop to take a breather.

Emilio Ahn is brilliant, promising; but that matters little when the rope he's hanging on to is as thin as thread.

This fault might make people underestimate him.

He might be peaceful and tired and with too many worries lying in his brain, but he is still an Avancini. A mistake people often make is think peaceful means being a stranger to cruelty.

You're not peaceful if you're not capable of great violence. You're harmless.

Emilio is anything but harmless.

Aesthetic: Late night talks, dark circles under eyes, long-cold coffee, secret smiles, rainy mornings, smell of a wet forest.

Background: A very false assumption people often make is that those who never had any power are the ones who will desire it most.

You'd think that at one point you would get tired of being pushed and humiliated and treated like the dirt upon which to walk on, you'd finally take back the control that's rightfully yours - but the thing is, if you were never even given the opportunity to do that, you won't even consider the possibility power might be in your reach. No, those with no power are the ones who give in, the walking wound of a person, leaking trauma and fear everywhere they go.

Much more dangerous is holding on to power for even a second. The moment when finally, you're the one with control. Maybe not a lot of it, hell, quite possibly only a scrap - but once you had it in your hands, it's hard to forget the taste.

For Emilio, this moment came when he kicked his older brother out of a tree so harshly the boy broke his leg. An action he would severely regret once his brother was out of a cast.

And yet in that split heartbeat, it felt like spitting back double the poison he was always given.

It might be obvious if you dissect the way he behaves, that Emilio was a child that was not fed love on a silver spoon.

His early life was not one of great note. Born in Cuba as the son of a Korean-Cuban father - a man that has not once laid eyes on his motherland, and a local mother - a woman that has long given up on her own dreams, Emilio came into his parent's life fairly late. They were well into their mid-thirties when they learned of the unexpected pregnancy, something that brought a crushing sense of anxiety. Bearing a child is never easy, much less when you're older. After careful monitoring and consultation, the couple took the news in stride, deciding to go through with the new life growing in utero. They welcomed Emilio happily enough, though they did not plan for him; the first months were anything but easy, something they would hang over Emilio's head during arguments.

'You weren't supposed to have been born, but we took care of you anyways.'

Not so accepting of the new baby was their other son, Ali.

At barely 12 years old, the boy already had a vicious temper that would match a grown man's. With no idea how to tame his destructive behaviors and with him not listening to anybody but his own impulsivity, Ali was a ticking time bomb of a child. You know the ones; with too early violence and a little bit too much delight in fighting than is comfortable. Anybody would be thrown off if they've been a single child for years - some bitterness is to be expected, maybe even excused. But the kind of jealousy and anger Ali targeted towards the baby Emilio was beyond undeserved, even for a scorned firstborn.

Being a kid is not easy. Even more so when you're born with an enemy at heel.

It's not often that Emilo thinks about the past, much less talk about it. There are still knots he hasn't worked through, wounds he hasn't stitched, bodies left unburied in his mind. Only a few - quite possibly only his right-hand man and Kiko, two people he trusts above all - are privy to the inner workings of his brain, to the mechanics of why he ticks the way he does.

As far as the others know, Emilio appeared on the shores of the States when he was 20 - a stranger in a stranger land, a wild kind of fire raging in his eyes, and a discomforting thirst to take even what was not given. The young criminal never stuck around for long, a ghost in people's memory after relieving them of their cash and glory. Trading secrets, killing for survival, blazes of glory, and explosions in the night; the first few years of being a rogue criminal were rife with debts and secrets that follow him to this day.

It was then, in those wild, unholy years that he met the High Priestess.

The rest was history, the moment he turned 25 and signed his work away to the Avancini. He's seen many things, brushed with death too many times to be completely unaffected; and the Avancini were a safe-house, a lighthouse in harsh, devouring waters. He worked and worked and worked till there was nothing else he knew, suddenly finding himself becoming the boss' right-hand man.

Emilio was under no illusion that he was going to be boss anytime soon. It would be a decade at least before anybody would consider putting the crown on him - something he planned for in the far away, hazy future when a different Emilio was going to exist.

Nobody would expect to wake up one morning, finding the boss' body slumped from bullets in his head.

Emilio suddenly found himself in deep waters, when the whole time he thought he was on the shore. He was as disturbed as anybody else to find himself holding so much power overnight, his inheritance a rushed affair he barely remembers.

There's something to be said about love and power in that.

Because if you aren't fed love on a spoon, you'll learn to lick it off knives.

Extra: Speaks Cuban Spanish and English. Having not spoken it himself, his father never taught him Korean - something Emilio has been trying to fix in the past years. A pretty good dancer.

Reputation: The first year of a new boss is always the most dangerous.

With so many eyes on him, rumors are bound to happen sooner or later; some are more kind to him, some less so. Word is that so far, the other bosses are keeping a close eye on Emilio, trying to decide if he'll get his sea legs under him - or if they can swarm in to devour his corpse. A failed assassination attempt on him speaks volumes about what kind of situation he is in right now. A failed shot and the attempted assassin escaped left the Avancinis with no answers and a deep sense of unease.

The town is divided on the subject. Some think Emilio has potential, a new star keep a close eye on lest he grows powerful; while others think he won't make it past his first year, ending up being fed to a river by a rival.

    height

    Standing at 5'7", Kiko is just above average height; nothing extraordinary, however, her preference for platform boots give her an extra boost.






    hair

    Kept a plain dark brown, Kiko is one to opt for low maintenance hairstyles; lacking skill, time, and patience, itโ€™s no surprise sheโ€™s made this decision upon herself. However, when the thick tendrils are styled, theyโ€™re often in low ponytails, soft, yet messy and effortless curls, or tucked under hats.









    eyes


    Pits of deep brown, nearly black, the color is significantly brighter as the light hits -- resembling pools of honey. Accompanied by dark circles, it's obvious Kiko isn't much of a sleeper -- long coffee-filled nights with the endless typing of a keyboard. Staring at a screen has its downfalls, a frequent wearer of contacts, never one to favor glasses. Thick, straight, black eyelashes that can barely hold a curl, Kiko doesn't bother to try and spruce them up.








    style

    Inspired by punk, grunge, and goth culture, Kiko's closet consists of heavy duty boots, distressed clothing, and dark color palettes. She isn't one to stray away from experimentation, one look could be vastly different from the day prior. Other days, she may only opt for her pajamas, comfort over style a frequent mentality. i. ii. iii.







    Body Mods and Markings

    Random stickers of tattoos, both at home and professional; stick-and-poke and machine, these permanent inks have no direct meaning. Often done on impulse, Kiko can barely recall how many she has to be exact -- however, she does know that they exceed 15. A lover of jewelry, the woman has double nose rings, and multiple ear piercings. With an occasional scar, Kiko collects them like trophies -- both from fist fighting and her own, unfortunate, clumsiness. i. ii. iii.

๐ŸŒผ


โ€ Full Name: Marley Foster.
โ€ Nickname: Marles, Lee.
โ€ Age: 22.
โ€ Gender: Male.
โ€ Sexuality: Soft Gay.
โ€ Ethnicity: French-American.
โ€ Family: Adamski.
โ€ Role: Judgement.

โ€ Appearance: Looking at him, one might assume he's a rather delicate guy. He's not very imposing, even when he straightens his shoulders, and the dark circles under his eyes contrast against his usually pallid pale skin and leave him looking tired and not entirely well. The freckles all over his face add some life to him, and his medium-length warm brown curly hair helps convince people he's not actively dying. He has bangs that frame the left side of his face and brush against his thick eyelashes. When he's hot or not in the mood to have his hair in the way, he pulls it up into a messy bun, though pieces of his hair still hang down even if he tries to pull it all back. Not always does he look ill; there are several days, that sometimes last for months, where he looks much more like a healthy college student. If he has been experiencing an insomniatic episode or particularly stressful time in his life, or if he's sick with any number of illnesses, then his face shows just how much he's been struggling clearly. His green eyes are usually bright, though, and he always has a kind smile to offer to anyone who could use some cheering up.
โ‡ข Height: 5'8
โ‡ข Build: Scrawny, but not unhealthy. He's thin and has prominent wrist bones, ankle bones and knees. He's not very muscular but he has a fit body, thanks in large part to how much he walks and the diet he has. His shoulders aren't particularly wide and his limbs are lithe; his physique is not overly manly.
โ‡ข Hair: Naturally curly brown hair that falls just past his shoulders. Sometimes up in a bun or ponytail, but never braided or dressed up fancy. Well, a few chunks might be braided, but he'd only do that if he was bored or feeling stressed. Usually he pushes over to one side and runs his hands through it . . . a lot.
โ‡ข Eyes: Green. Light green, if you want to get fancy.
โ‡ข Clothing Style: His go-to style is comfy. He doesn't ever try to wear things to impress people, mostly because he doesn't have time and he doesn't think it's really worth it. He's often in long-sleeved sweaters and jackets with a t-shirt or collared shirt on underneath it, because he likes layers. Skinny jeans, straight-legged jeans or jogger sweatpants are often his pant of choice, but he'll wear shorts when it gets hot outside. He tends to prefer muted or soft colors, like golden yellows and sage greens and sky blues and creams, but he also enjoys simple patterns like stripes and checkered and not bam, in your face! floral print. He does own trendier clothes, like cool jackets and button-ups and expensive jeans. Wearing those is a different story, however. He always wears Converse or Vans, or some cheap slip-ons, with whatever outfit he has on. He also accessorizes rarely - the most he'll put on is a bracelet.
โ‡ข Scars: He has a straight vertical scar going from his jugular notch to the end of his ribcage, right in the middle of his chest. There's two horizontal scars underneath it from incisions. The scar is from the surgery he had when he was sixteen, and it has since faded. He also has a scar on the back of his left hand from when he got bit by a dog, though it's even more faded than his other major scar, since he got it when he was a child. He has several smaller scars on his hands/wrists from cuts from cat claws.
โ‡ข Modifications: He has his lobes pierced. Normally wears studs.

โ€ Personality: Marley doesn't make sense in his family. He's the odd one out - the softie, the sweetie, the gentle soul. Always with a kind word to give someone, he enjoys making people laugh and smile, though he sometimes is shy and has a difficult time approaching strangers, getting flustered and embarrassed. Around people he knows, he is friendly and loves chatting and can occasionally be sarcastic and snappy. He's the self-sacrificing type, wanting to make sure that people are happy before he worries about himself. He rarely addresses his own emotional troubles and tells himself it's fine, he's fine, it's okay, he'll be okay, it's not a big deal, even if it really might be. He tries to look on the bright side of situations and often thinks "well, I could be dead instead," and he doesn't realize that that particular thought is not entirely optimistic. He's stubborn and if someone he cares about is hurting, he will not leave them alone until they let him help them. On the flip side of that, he is wary to let people get close to him, because he doesn't want them to leave him again. The death of his parents shook him to his core and he's not recovered from his loss quite yet. All in all, he's the Adamski's sweetheart, and no one understands why he is hanging out with all these broken and destructive people... even though he is also broken and (self-)destructive. It's simply that no one has noticed yet.

He doesn't enjoy negative feelings but has let one particular one fester inside of his brain. He's still bitter over the death of his parents, the death of his entire world, and he needs to avenge them. He knows he can use his reputation and pure, good boy, innocent persona to get close to his parents' killer and then slip them one of the poisons he's concocted. He's become just a bit manipulative because of this new goal, but he doesn't let it show and plans to commit the deed in secret. It's the main reason he's still in town, to be honest. If he didn't know that his parents' killer was in the same town he was in then he'd have left the moment they died.

โ€ Background:
When he was born, his heart was already broken. A congenital heart disease is not something that is easily overcome, and from a very young age it was obvious that Marley would have a difficult life. Fatigue, blue lips, breathlessness, frailty, weakness. It's a wonder he managed to make it through his first year of life. Of course, his parents were devoted to making sure he survived, and he grew up knowing just how much they sacrificed for him. Medical bills are not cheap. They become easier to handle when one is close with the boss of a major crime family.

He spent his early childhood in a small apartment, though his parents always wanted to move him away from the infectious air of the city. His parents doted on him and spoiled him with love and affection, and he never wondered about how much they cared about him. As a child, he did not know how his parents afforded all of his toys and stuffed animals and babysitters. He would not know, until he realized his friends were the children of criminals. He overheard the adults talking one day. He saw the blood on their hands. And he was not scared. He trusted them. He knew they would look out for him. He had no reason to be scared of them.

Due to his sickly disposition, he was kept home during his schooling. Teachers and tutors came to his apartment and taught him, and though he wanted to go to public school to learn with all of the other kids, his body, his heart, would not allow him to. It was annoying, and he disliked it greatly, but he was a studious boy and he did well during his educational instruction. His parents praised him and gave him rewards for getting good grades, and soon enough he started to become spoiled. If he cried over how unfair something was, his parents were quick to appease him. His chest hurt, and his parents immediately pulled him to safety. He was feeling ill and they let him stay in his room, with his toys and games and television.

Sometimes, his chest did not hurt that badly. Sometimes, he was not feeling as ill as he pretended to. His parents did not need to know that.

During his teenaged years, his heart condition worsened. He always lived a healthy lifestyle and was as active as he could be. None of that helped to improve the defective heart he had been born with. His heart caused him many problems: he was known to faint when he got too stressed and he could not participate in as many activities as his friends could. He was always ill with a cold or a sore throat or some such thing, and he had to take care to not get other sick, which means isolating himself from others. He hated his heart sincerely, and he desperately wanted a new one. He asked his parents to let him get a heart transplant when he was sixteen. They were wary to go through with the surgery, because they had heard of several complications that could develop, but Marley was their angel. After he had a particularly dangerous illness, which resulted in his heart further decaying, they agreed to the surgery.

The operation was successful. His parents had to do something risky and stupid in order to let him get the surgery, and he had to lie to the doctor who would be operating on him, but none of that mattered in the end. He had a new heart that would not make him so weak, so pathetic. He had a new heart that wouldn't end up killing him.

Life was good after that. He still got sick frequently, because his defective heart had caused his immune system to become compromised, but his sicknesses never took him down as harshly as they had before. He was able to go outside more often and he was able to be more active, without fear of fainting or becoming tired too quickly. He basically got a new lease on life, and at sixteen, he couldn't have been happier.

At eighteen, his heart broke again.

Physically, he was thriving. Mentally, he was crashing. Emotionally, he was shattered. His parents, murdered. What had they done to deserve it? Why had it happened? He could not understand it. The loss of his parents sent him spiraling into a depression that he was unable to climb out of. Anxiety, insomnia, nightmares, panic attacks. He had nothing without his parents. They were his entire world, all of his life. They took so much care of him and went through so much to make sure he lived the best life he could have. And then they were gone. His world was gone.

He eventually got therapy, but he has not been the same since his parents murder. They would have wanted him to continue living, though. He took time off from school to try to collect himself, and even though he was barely holding together, he continued on. And he kept continuing on. Because his parents would want him to live, to become whatever he wants to be, but he also knows that they would kill for him. So he will kill for them. An eye for an eye, a heart for a heart, a life for a life.


โ€ Reputation: The ill child. The sweetheart. The weakling. Many people involved in the crime life in town know Marley simply because he was the constantly sick child of the Adamski head's right-hand. Those outside of the family think he doesn't fit in with the crime life and some don't understand why he's still inside of it. The Adamski family knows him from his reputation; he's gentle and kind and an animal lover, and he's always polite to everyone he talks to. Could Marley kill someone? No one thinks so. Could he make it in the outside world? Yeah, everyone thinks he can. Why is he still part of the family? What's his end goal? Has he ever killed before? Is he a secret murderer with a perfectly innocent mask? Who one can say.

โ€ Extra:
- Aesthetic.
- DOES know how to harm people and where to stab/shoot to kill, since he is part of the Adamski family. Also makes poisons and messes with chemicals, all in order to figure out the most deadly combination.
- College boy in third year of four year university. Going to go to vet school after he graduates.
- Lonely as hell at his parents' mansion house. He lets members of the Adamski family and his friends stay over whenever they want to so he's not as alone.
- Has two rabbits and three cats that he adores with his entire being.
- His house is literally FULL of plants but he makes sure to keep them out of his bunnies' and cats' reach.
- Often found at the library or anywhere where there are people.
- Still gets sick frequently. Often wears face mask when he hears about a disease in town. Also has insomnia some nights.
- Takes allergy medicine religiously. No severe allergies but he's allergic to nickel and pollen.
- Lowkey Christian but doesn't go to church.
- Takes vitamins to try to boost his immune system.
- Usually on some medicine to counter whatever illness he has at any given moment.
- Always has snacks on hand. Trail mix, granola, almonds, dried fruit or meat, raw vegetables, snack bars, sometimes candy.

โ€ Relationships: Open!!

visage

















faceclaim

Antonia Freya Lydia






appearance

Framing an oval face, Marzanna's waist long blonde hair is rarely seen styled other than in a neat ponytail, kept back in a practical manner. With sharp cheekbones, clearly maintained eyebrows, and a prominent nose, she has a distinctive look about her, which is only enhanced by the intense blue of her eyes. Marzanna stands at about 5'8, although it isn't uncommon to find her wearing small heels only adding to that. She's not a large woman, but her sleeves and outfit choices often hide a modestly muscular physique, earned from a mix of hobbies, exercise, and basic martial arts training---with her position, preparation for a number of situations seemed almost a necessity.






attire

Even with a closet of designer, custom made apparel crafted to any of her whims, Marzanna often seems to be stuck in a traditional style of dress. Although she pays attention to the practicality of her outfits, and prefers pants to skirts, she's often distinctly feminine and some would say old fashioned in her outfit choices, often with a clearly expensive blouse and simple jewelry choice. She tends towards the side of formality, always making sure to look presentable, even on private or casual occasions.























02.



psyche









In a game of nature or nurture, Marzanna's nurture was a manacle of expectation. In all outward appearances, it would seem to have won, too. She's always been wound a little tightly, always on high alert and trained to be prepared for anything, her muscles never fully relaxed. She's reserved, keeping a faรงade of calm about her, never raising her temper in favor of icy silence. But how long can even the most ruthless keep up playing against the barest expression of emotion, squeezing into a rigid box?

It's no secret that many are curious about her, that was to be the case from her birth, but the curiosity is only enhanced by how little sincerity she shows the world. Her words calculated and precise, she's always playing a game, her persona the character kept up against a world that has its breath caught waiting for her to take the wrong move. For now, however, it seems she's got the rules figured out, and it reflects in the way she interacts with those around her. Marzanna's polite, social, exceptionally mannered, but has never been known to show a shred of kindness.

Marzanna keeps herself busy, slamming into studying and hobbies and the needs of her family, not a single step out of line of being their perfect heir. Intelligent, charming, unflinching, everything that could be taught to her. Marzannaโ€™s driving force has always been her family; a desire to impress them, to fulfill that expectation as if it's the only thing she knew. As, in a way, it was. She couldn't have had the time to question how this life suited her, or whether there even was a her outside of the heir of the Adamski.

Although, the hints of tiredness creeping into her eyes is no less from that busy life than from wishful nights staring out the window, searching for what more the world might have to offer. Many wonder if she's capable of being a good leader someday, whether her ambition digs deep enough for it, or whether she's just excellent at pretending to be.

history









Marzanna was raised to be the perfect heir of the Adamski family. Many would say she grew up without a want in the world, enough money that a lifetime of spending it would hardly make a dent. She was raised and trained by them, her schooling entirely private, and although taught the full extent of what her social expectations were, often kept sheltered and out of prying eyes. What family doesn't keep a healthy dose of secrecy? With family tensions on the rise, it's time to see just how well she's been prepared against the real world.

miscellaneous

















Extra

As heir and deputy, Marzanna has basic training in various forms of combat, firing a gun, and has practice commanding and overseeing branches of the Adamski. Most of what she knows comes from her education and family. However, she's yet to show hesitation to cause harm if asked. Beyond the skills directly related to the Adamski's line of work, Marzanna's hobbies included horseback riding and playing piano. She speaks English, Polish, and Spanish, having learned the latter through her schooling.






Reputation

Marzanna is, to no surprise, known and watched around the city. Keeping herself from being directly under the public eye, she's managed to keep up the impression of being a perfect poster child, just what's expected of her. Well, almost. When she was around 17, she wasn't seen or heard from for an entire year. The family keeps it under wraps, as though nothing had been amiss, but there's no stopping rumors or what they might be covering up.

THE SINS OF THE FATHER
A

strid Houtz;


Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honour matters.
THE TOWER.
maxresdefault.jpg



That day if our positions were switched... Would our fates be different? Would I have your life, and you mine?


FULL NAME: [REDACTED];

Astrid Houtz.

NICKNAMES: Not applicable.

AGE: Twenty-eight.

GENDER: Cisgender woman; she, her.

SEXUALITY: Inconsequential (Whether Astrid experiences genuine connections with anyone is indeed true. Although, she has negligible use for romantic or sexual endeavours, taking advantage of what she deems as weakness; she uses relationships as an opportunity to further her ascendancy in the criminal underworld, and towards her birth right, exploiting those credulous enough to believe she wants anything to do with themโ€”nothing more, nothing less.)

ETHNICITY: Polish-American.

FAMILY: Astrid currently adheres to the Avancini.


There was nothing about her that was offensive and there was nothing about her that was attention seeking. It was as if her body functioned so well and silently that she barely even noticed it except that she needed it.


VISAGE: For all the abhorrence Astrid has towards the Adamski family, the singular attribute she may ever express her gratitude to her father for, is her appearance; now in her late twenties, Astrid resembles her father more than ever, which, of course, holds bittersweet irony; what others may depict as a morbid joke by the universe, Astrid sees it as a token of his sins. When the time comes for him to face retribution, who better to do it than a creation of his own making.

Astrid is aware of her attractive, elegant mien, and sheโ€™s proud of itโ€”excessively so. Ensuring she maintains every aspect of herself, from head to toe, with equal care.

BUILD: She is an imposing 5โ€™11โ€ (180 cm)โ€”though she may as well be 6โ€™1โ€ since she near exclusively wears heeled shoesโ€”with a weight of 148 lbs (67 kg), she is rather lean, with a toned, hourglass shape. Her figure is one of eye-catching allure, and an extra weapon in her arsenal.

HAIR: Born a mousy brown colour, with age Astridโ€™s hair has gradually become dark brown; itโ€™s usually straight with the ends curled, reaching her breasts.

EYES: Hazel with green flecks surrounding the iris, much like the eyes of her mother. Vigilant; always watching, heedful of everything and everyone in the room, never leaving fate in the hands of othersโ€™ character. Chance is a fine thing, after all.

SKIN: Fair skinned, easily tanned, with a pink hue across her cheeks and forehead; it lacks the wrinkles and creases one would assume a grim and pitiless life entails. Yet scars and bruises of old have all but faded, though they lay obscured beneath her clothes. Minimal body hair blankets Astridโ€™s seemingly porcelain skin as well, as several years ago, she received laser hair removal surgery.

BODY MODIFICATIONS: Seldom does she alter her body with superfluous decorations; Astrid revels in the authenticity of her looks. Although circled around her neck is a solitary, thin tattooโ€”tinted with black inkโ€”of a crown of thorns, an insignia of the sacrifices she has made throughout her life to reach her contemporary affairs, though the ink is due for a freshening up.

FACE CLAIM: Crystal Reed.


And now,' said the unknown, 'farewell kindness, humanity, and gratitude! Farewell to all the feelings that expand the heart! I have been heaven's substitute to recompense the goodโ€”now the god of vengeance yields to me his power to punish the wicked!


PERSONALITY: The multifaceted superficiality of a first impression proposes Astrid as a poised woman, with a passion for grandeur and hedonism. Nothing disturbs the civility she honours strangers with, always jovial, her quick wit breaking the ice. For what itโ€™s worth, she is capable of camaraderie, though itโ€™s difficult to come by; she is not absent of compassion, and all things considered, has an aptitude for therapeutic discussion. And it is a role she fits surprisingly well.

However, you know what they say: there is more to such a character than meets the eye.

Time is a blessed passage for healing, notwithstanding, it has yet to blunt the fury in her heart; an oil tanker just waiting for an unwittingly dropped match to set her alight. Aggrieved for two decades and counting, hell has no fury like a woman scorned. Revenge is like a poison, it can effortlessly take someone over, and to dissect Astrid would certainly reveal her veins no longer carry blood but the blackness of acid. She is unequivocally distrustful; a zebra does not linger to see if the lion is gentle. Astrid is no different. She will cast someone aside before their dagger can leave its hiltโ€”no forgiveness, no pity, no second chances. Mercy acts as a liberty to retaliation that one cannot afford to provide.

It takes one to know one; it goes without saying. Astrid does not expect to assert dominance through the solitary hand of benevolence; sheโ€™s had to pull a few strings to survive, broken a few spirits. With a cunning knowledge of what to say and how to say it, she can talk almost anyone into anything with a mere sultry grin.

Even so, locked in a derelict chest in the darkest, most tormented part of her mind, bound in chains forged out of violence, there remains a shard of the woman Astrid truthfully is; where she buries her secrets, the records and memories of her life left to moulder. Above all, if nothing else, she is her motherโ€™s little girl.

Astrid Houtz is a disguise, an ingeniously intricate show to delude people into the conviction that she is anything, but the soul fragmented by her father all those years ago; the frightened, ruined child incapable of defending themselves or the wishes of their mother. She is not malevolent, nor without remorse. She is mindful of the misery she has induced. There is no solace in the pain of those undeserving, but it has all been for survival. Life sometimes needs a necessary evil, as she says. Her pursuit for a legion of power is not self-seeking, as many are led to think. Foremost is her need to protect others; to give people the security and well-being her family omitted from her lifeโ€”shut out of her life. Not a day goes by where she doesnโ€™t fight with her sorrows and the lies, they tell her. So far, itโ€™s a losing battle.

There are more sleepless nights than Astrid cares to keep up with where the fear of incertitude paralyzes her entire body. She sees no light at the end of the tunnel, that the trail she has become accustomed to is not the one she wishes for, and after she has stridden across the bones of her family and claimed her throne there will simply beโ€ฆ nothing. Nothing except her thoughts.

But how does one accept any alternative purpose when their own flesh and blood tore away the course destined for them before they had the cognizance to understand what was happening.

They follow the only thing they know for real.

POSITIVE TRAITS: Poised, competent, penetrative, unwavering, empathetic, protective, ingenious, elegant.

NEGATIVE TRAITS: Wrathful, guileful, scheming, hell-bent, unmerciful, self-righteous hypocritical, mistrustful.


Yet you say, โ€˜Why should not the son suffer for the iniquity of the father?โ€™ When the son has done what is just and right, and has been careful to observe all my statutes, he shall surely live. The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.


BACKGROUND: How slight is truth, and how much is a lie of the woman named Astrid Houtz? Her storyโ€”a particular iteration for everybody who runs across herโ€”is a web of lies strung so thickly even she does not know where it starts and finishes. Sentimentality runs thin when remembering yourself as the forsaken daughter of the Adamski family; she more so fancies the concept of herself as the child of affection and magnificence, one of gaiety and high life, itโ€™s a tale greatly more charming to tell.

โ€œAstrid was my motherโ€™s name.โ€

Although the memories diminish over the time, the feeling of her motherโ€™s love is a certainty she will indulge others in. Rancour for her father emanates from, if not because of the injustice of herself, the demise of her mother. A parent dying before their child is a grief nobody should endure, nevertheless, Astridโ€™s mother perished with credence her daughter was in safekeeping alongside the father. The vanity of a foolโ€™s promise.

โ€œThe blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.โ€

Once in a while life has a funny habit of throwing one a bone, a rueful apology for its ill-fated games. A second chance to prove oneโ€™s willpower for potential. Thereafter, a hand reached through the pit of Astridโ€™s life, and she tentatively clung to it. Perhaps the grace of the Avancini planted a seed of warmth inside the cracks of stone around Astridโ€™s heart. A fidelity to the previous Empress for their goodwill sprouting from itโ€”an opportunity for reclamation.

For now, she plans on repaying her debt, albeit the Avancini are ultimately a means to an end. A steppingstone, a cog in the machine, a pawn in a game of chess. When the grim reaper comes knocking, she may just have to respond.

If there is a greater power, pray they are merciful, and have faith they will absolve you for your sins.

Astrid sure wonโ€™t.

"Call me Chaos."



  • #c20d00
    Full Name: Nicola Emilio โ€˜Il Mostroโ€™
    Age: 22
    Gender: Nonbinary, they/them pronouns
    Sexuality: Pansexual
    Ethnicity: Italian
    Family: Avancini
    Role: The Tower

    Appearance:

    A soft round face is marred by a deep scar over Nicoโ€™s left cheek, nestled under a tiny mole that hides at the edge of their eye. Freckles dot their body beside a collection of much lighter scars and cuts. Their hazel hair falls comfortably to their shoulders, silky locks turned thin and ratty from years of mistreatment. Beneath that untamed nest is a pair of dark brown eyes, turned down where it meets their nose and making them look sharp despite their near constant state of slightly high/drunk. Their nose is strongly set into their face with a slight bend around the middle, turning up at the end. Their looks lean more on the androgynous side, with their build being lean and packing some light muscle. 5ft7 with some light tan.

    Their โ€˜wardrobeโ€™ so to speak is a blend of wildly mismatched explosions of colours to more muted, albeit still somewhat colourful clothes. Colour-matching is not in their vocabulary, and they frankly couldnโ€™t give less of a shit about what they looked like even if they tried. They prefer masculine styled clothes over feminine ones, although they do occasionally bring out the softer colours from time to time. Simply put, Nicola just doesnโ€™t try to dress up most of the time. They pop on anything that works and thatโ€™s good enough for them.

"It is the Hippocratic Oath to never intend harm upon any of my patients. Unfortunately for you, I never took that oath."

1623637820484.png

Full Name:
Jude Mitchzelk
Nickname: Splicer
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Sexuality:
Bisexual, but very hard to impress
Ethnicity:
Polish
Family:
Adamski
Role:
The Hanged Man

Face claim:
Mr. Bruce from the Correspondents (I believe? I couldn't find his real name.)

Appearance:
"Sharp" is definitely a word that you would use to describe this man if you ever saw him: sharp angles to define his face, constantly donning sharp suits upon his body, standing with a sharp and upright posture. Those are just a few examples. Along with that, it's almost impossible to find faults on him for there is never a stain or wrinkle on his clothes, a hair out of place on his head, or a single other thing out of place. He takes high pride on his appearance, and you'll be damned if you ever ruin that.


Personality:
Though relatively cold and uncaring to most, this man can still be seen with a smile plastered on his face. Whether that smile is fake or real depends highly on the matter at hand. He seems like he blurts out what's on his mind, but that's the opposite of the truth. He makes sure to keep control of every conversation that he has, staying tactful and even, throwing people off-guard with calculated words. Not much really deters him not blood, nor gore, nor death itself. Unfortunately, he's kind of socially awkward when it comes to the more lewd of conversations. It's not that he's innocent or naรฏve when it comes to that sort of thing, but it's more like he doesn't understand it. Basically, he sucks at flirting and such.

Background:
He just showed up one day as a teen and eventually impressed with his medical knowledge. He says that he grew up fine with a mother and a father and a little sister but there's no proof of any of them. He might have been in a war as a field doctor? But that doesn't really make sense for who he is.

Extra:
  • He has very steady hands.
  • Knows what makes people tick physically - like what nerves to poke.
  • He is very skilled at sewing. He also likes to embroider. May or may not make dolls that he takes apart when he's finished with them, just to build them back up again.
  • Technically a doctor, but never officially or legally. You know how it goes.
  • Thinks fortune telling and tarot readings are all hooey.

Reputation:

  • A fine, upstanding man of society! And a doctor, no less! It is said that he came from Europe when he was just a teenager and spent his whole life dedicated to the medical arts! Some people say that he can do life-or-death surgeries within an hour and continues with a 96% survival rate! Where does he work? Well, you'd think the local hospital, right? Otherwise, where else would he get all of the money he has?
  • I heard that an orphan boy scuffed his shoe and he kicked the boy until he bled out! But that couldn't have been him, right?
  • Yeah, he's really good with the medical shit, but he creeps me the fuck out! did you hear that he can replace dead limbs with other ones? But the scariest thing is that I heard he gets the working ones from other dead bodies! Fucked up or what?!

I will change and add to this application if/when I iron him out!

THE MAGICIAN
แด€แด˜แด˜แด‡แด€ส€แด€ษดแด„แด‡

At first glance, Mila can be mistaken for fairly average, if she wants it. It depends on if she has settled into her true element of being nothing but a flower on the wall, or is dressed for the occasion of being heard and seen. Darker skinned than the rest of her Adamski relatives due to her hispanic blood, her olive skin remains unblemished by any tattoos, though the odd scar can be found littering her body. Her most distinguishing feature would always be her eyes, a dark, intense brown, and her head of loose curls that reach her shoulders. If in her natural element, Milaโ€™s black tie dress is not something to miss. Slacks, white shirts, black blazers, sleek boots. Business casual is her point of comfort, and itโ€™s hard to ever see Mila in anything other than black and white. Despite the muted color palette, there is no denying her sense of style and ability to dress for the day like itโ€™s a great occasion every time. At 5โ€™9", sheโ€™s got a bit of height on her, but despite her suave manner of dress, she almost never wears shoes that give her extra height. Mila is also almost always seen sporting the same black leather gloves.

แด˜แด‡ส€sแดษดแด€สŸษชแด›ส

From childhood, Mila was a quiet figure. Though silent, something about her stood out from other children, in the way that she carried herself. Her big brown eyes were always distrustful, even from an early age, and rather than play with the others, she always seemed to linger in the back. Watchful. This trait never changed. As Mila grew, she became more observant. Though her movement is fluid, and her body seems poised with ease, Mila holds her tongue more often than not. Itโ€™s second nature now, and every move and word is calculated heavily. Some say Mila is elegant; others say sheโ€™s poised like an animal waiting to strike. All thatโ€™s true is that whatever you perceive of her, she has crafted it to be so.

Clinging to corners and sometimes invisible, Mila is a servant of shadows. She can play the part of unnoticed all too well, and has a sharp mind for seeking avenues and exits in every situation, physical and mental. She seems keenly aware of every conversationโ€™s twitch of the eyebrow and and turn of the lip, and knows how to best use it to her advantage. In a strange way, sheโ€™s a performer. She can portray any role that the family requires her, and is almost too well suited for infiltration. Mila is meticulous. Things that are planned are planned to perfection, with every possibility accounted for. Her default slate is blank, her black dress and cool expression almost acting as an empty palette begging to have colors mixed upon them. Sheโ€™s an actor, a liar, and her ability to switch into a persona can be startling. But the clean canvas that the Adamskis see is so subservient that few tend to worry.

There is always an underneath, is there not? Mila wonders the same thing, if she has anything left behind the fickle dance that keeps her toes pointed every hour of the day. Mila doesnโ€™t relax. She moves from one sly corner to the next, always on edge, always on guard. This life in this family is a power play, and sheโ€™s done nothing but care to stay above it for so long that not much lies beyond Milaโ€™s sightline. Except, if someone were to know that Mila is an incessant writer.

In hidden spaces, crevices and lockboxes, Mila keeps journals. Journals and journals and journals, full of nonsense, dreams, hopes, and plans. She always has a little pocketbook in her shirt pocket, but few see its contents. Mila does not need to write to be able to operate. But she does it to cling to sanity, to have tangible proof of being a feeling and thinking human being and not just a tool to deploy. One might think finding her logs would be the unravelling of the family, but theyโ€™d be in for a surprise when they discover her writings in ciphers. Since childhood, she has developed her own personal code, a strange mix of symbols and dashes and dots that would be near impossible for someone other than her to decipher. Itโ€™s a testament to her vicious mind, and her dedication to covering her tracks.

There are an impossible amount of layers to Mila, but to the Adamskis, she is their loyal fox. And she will do whatever it takes.

The Adamski blood in Milana is not the thickest from birth. Her mother, Aleksandra, was a distantly related cousin. She had little affiliation with the family business, or at least, tried to make it so. She married an outsider, and wanted nothing to do with what went on in the family. Unfortunately, her father, Ramon Cortez, did not last long in the way of protecting Mila or her mother from any Adamski family involvement. He passed when she was barely a year old, and her mother, strapped for resources and left as a single mother, was forced to fall back into her familyโ€™s arms. Mila was raised closely with the now leaders of the Adamskis, but never felt quite like she was a true part of their game.

There was always some strange amount of tension between her and the rest of the family. Being born of a relationship that none had truly approved of, Mila received a quiet amount of disdain, yet never enough to truly exclude her. Some, even, saw potential. She was an odd child. Vigilant, like something was always out to get her. She stood her own, always, in a quiet way. No one else could seem to push her around, or sway her ways she didnโ€™t want to be swayed. This quiet, big eyed and tight lipped resilience earned her a fair amount of respect, separate from her motherโ€™s spectacles. She was never anything like her mother. Aleksandra was bold, brash, lips painted in red and loud mouthed. The family didnโ€™t care to have someone like Aleksandra in their inner workings, and Aleksandra didnโ€™t have any of the finesse required to do so. But for all her pride, she came back to them with her tail tucked between her legs and offered them Mila as compensation.

Mila didnโ€™t like that.

Despite being raised alongside them, Mila glowered with spite. Those big watchful eyes mirrored the same distaste that the old leaders bestowed upon her. It felt like growing up inside the open maw of a predator, living on its tongue, and just counting down the days until it shut its teeth in on you. Though she was raised to join them, and Mila never said a word that would have implied she wanted otherwise, she told them everyday with her vicious gaze.

And when she was eighteen, she made good on that look, and ran away.

Those years are a blank to even the family now. This girl was raised an Adamski in childhood but the hole in her fresh adulthood still serves as something of an unclosed wound. When Mila came back, which was almost completely unexpected, due to the girlโ€™s incredibly impressive ability to disappear without a trace, Mila came back a woman. A woman with straight shoulders, power in her hands, but those same, watchful eyes. And she swore herself to the family. It was as if all that prowess that had brewed in her childhood had been brought to fruition. They couldnโ€™t deny the calm, calculative energy rolling off of her. The knowledge of every twist and turn, the attention to detail, the sudden ability to flip a switch and be a smiling, shining girl for the sake of luring an enemy into a dark corner.

Itโ€™s been years now since Milaโ€™s return to the family, and perhaps they've nearly forgotten the blank in her history. Sheโ€™s done so much in her time with them that it may almost pain the Emperor to remember that this woman holds many of the cards close to his heart, and yet, she does all that is asked without question. There is no job too morally grey, no task too out of reach. If asked, the Adamskis will receive to the fullest effect, if Milana is the one providing. Her role as the Emperors magician seems foolproof and unwavering, and when the family is so full of lovers, judgements and devils, Mila seems like the sturdiest and most stable out of all of them.

ส€แด‡แด˜แดœแด›แด€แด›ษชแดษด

Most are unnerved by Milaโ€™s ability to blend into nothing. Some call her less than human, because the little amount that she speaks is only to answer questions asked of her, or offer info related to plans necessary. Other than that, people claim she has no life outside the business. She doesnโ€™t tend to hang around if she doesnโ€™t need to, and if not on the clock, Mila can rarely be found. Her absences have allowed whispers to grow, but few know where she actually goes when sheโ€™s not around the Emperor. Of course, most know that she is often working to gather intel on the Avaniciis. But the whispers of how she does so are what vary greatly. Some also claim to have seen her writing in a journal, but no journal has ever been found. There are also plenty of rumors spun about Milaโ€™s time gone, if anyone cares to remember such a thing occurred, because at this point, it seems very far in the rear view mirror. Rumors also circulate about why she doesnโ€™t take off the gloves.

At first glance, Mila can be mistaken for fairly average, if she wants it. It depends on if she has settled into her true element of being nothing but a flower on the wall, or is dressed for the occasion of being heard and seen. Darker skinned than the rest of her Adamski relatives due to her hispanic blood, her olive skin remains unblemished by any tattoos, though the odd scar can be found littering her body. Her most distinguishing feature would always be her eyes, a dark, intense brown, and her head of loose curls that reach her shoulders. If in her natural element, Milaโ€™s black tie dress is not something to miss. Slacks, white shirts, black blazers, sleek boots. Business casual is her point of comfort, and itโ€™s hard to ever see Mila in anything other than black and white. Despite the muted color palette, there is no denying her sense of style and ability to dress for the day like itโ€™s a great occasion every time. At 5โ€™9, sheโ€™s got a bit of height on her, but despite her suave manner of dress, she almost never wears shoes that give her extra height. Mila is also almost always seen sporting the same black leather gloves.

แด˜แด‡ส€sแดษดแด€สŸษชแด›ส

From childhood, Mila was a quiet figure. Though silent, something about her stood out from other children, in the way that she carried herself. Her big brown eyes were always distrustful, even from an early age, and rather than play with the others, she always seemed to linger in the back. Watchful. This trait never changed. As Mila grew, she became more observant. Though her movement is fluid, and her body seems poised with ease, Mila holds her tongue more often than not. Itโ€™s second nature now, and every move and word is calculated heavily. Some say Mila is elegant; others say sheโ€™s poised like an animal waiting to strike. All thatโ€™s true is that whatever you perceive of her, she has crafted it to be so.

Clinging to corners and sometimes invisible, Mila is a servant of shadows. She can play the part of unnoticed all too well, and has a sharp mind for seeking avenues and exits in every situation, physical and mental. She seems keenly aware of every conversationโ€™s twitch of the eyebrow and and turn of the lip, and knows how to best use it to her advantage. In a strange way, sheโ€™s a performer. She can portray any role that the family requires her, and is almost too well suited for infiltration. Mila is meticulous. Things that are planned are planned to perfection, with every possibility accounted for. Her default slate is blank, her black dress and cool expression almost acting as an empty palette begging to have colors mixed upon them. Sheโ€™s an actor, a liar, and her ability to switch into a persona can be startling. But the clean canvas that the Adamskis see is so subservient that few tend to worry.

There is always an underneath, is there not? Mila wonders the same thing, if she has anything left behind the fickle dance that keeps her toes pointed every hour of the day. Mila doesnโ€™t relax. She moves from one sly corner to the next, always on edge, always on guard. This life in this family is a power play, and sheโ€™s done nothing but care to stay above it for so long that not much lies beyond Milaโ€™s sightline. Except, if someone were to know that Mila is an incessant writer.

In hidden spaces, crevices and lockboxes, Mila keeps journals. Journals and journals and journals, full of nonsense, dreams, hopes, and plans. She always has a little pocketbook in her shirt pocket, but few see its contents. Mila does not need to write to be able to operate. But she does it to cling to sanity, to have tangible proof of being a feeling and thinking human being and not just a tool to deploy. One might think finding her logs would be the unravelling of the family, but theyโ€™d be in for a surprise when they discover her writings in ciphers. Since childhood, she has developed her own personal code, a strange mix of symbols and dashes and dots that would be near impossible for someone other than her to decipher. Itโ€™s a testament to her vicious mind, and her dedication to covering her tracks.

ส™แด€แด„แด‹ษขส€แดแดœษดแด…

The Adamski blood in Milana is not the thickest from birth. Her mother, Aleksandra, was a distantly related cousin. She had little affiliation with the family business, or at least, tried to make it so. She married an outsider, and wanted nothing to do with what went on in the family. Unfortunately, her father, Ramon Cortez, did not last long in the way of protecting Mila or her mother from any Adamski family involvement. He passed when she was barely a year old, and her mother, strapped for resources and left as a single mother, was forced to fall back into her familyโ€™s arms. Mila was raised closely with the now leaders of the Adamskis, but never felt quite like she was a true part of their game.

There was always some strange amount of tension between her and the rest of the family. Being born of a relationship that none had truly approved of, Mila received a quiet amount of disdain, yet never enough to truly exclude her. Some, even, saw potential. She was an odd child. Vigilant, like something was always out to get her. She stood her own, always, in a quiet way. No one else could seem to push her around, or sway her ways she didnโ€™t want to be swayed. This quiet, big eyed and tight lipped resilience earned her a fair amount of respect, separate from her motherโ€™s spectacles. She was never anything like her mother. Aleksandra was bold, brash, lips painted in red and loud mouthed. The family didnโ€™t care to have someone like Aleksandra in their inner workings, and Aleksandra didnโ€™t have any of the finesse required to do so. But for all her pride, she came back to them with her tail tucked between her legs and offered them Mila as compensation.

Mila didnโ€™t like that.

Despite being raised alongside them, Mila glowered with spite. Those big watchful eyes mirrored the same distaste that the old leaders bestowed upon her. It felt like growing up inside the open maw of a predator, living on its tongue, and just counting down the days until it shut its teeth in on you. Though she was raised to join them, and Mila never said a word that would have implied she wanted otherwise, she told them everyday with her vicious gaze.

And when she was eighteen, she made good on that look, and ran away.

Those years are a blank to even the family now. This girl was raised an Adamski in childhood but the hole in her fresh adulthood still serves as something of an unclosed wound. When Mila came back, which was almost completely unexpected, due to the girlโ€™s incredibly impressive ability to disappear without a trace, Mila came back a woman. A woman with straight shoulders, power in her hands, but those same, watchful eyes. And she swore herself to the family. It was as if all that prowess that had brewed in her childhood had been brought to fruition. They couldnโ€™t deny the calm, calculative energy rolling off of her. The knowledge of every twist and turn, the attention to detail, the sudden ability to flip a switch and be a smiling, shining girl for the sake of luring an enemy into a dark corner.

Itโ€™s been years now since Milaโ€™s return to the family, and perhaps they've nearly forgotten the blank in her history. Sheโ€™s done so much in her time with them that it may almost pain the Emperor to remember that this woman holds many of the cards close to his heart, and yet, she does all that is asked without question. There is no job too morally grey, no task too out of reach. If asked, the Adamskis will receive to the fullest effect, if Milana is the one providing. Her role as the Emperors magician seems foolproof and unwavering, and when the family is so full of lovers, judgements and devils, Mila seems like the sturdiest and most stable out of all of them.

ส€แด‡แด˜แดœแด›แด€แด›ษชแดษด

Most are unnerved by Milaโ€™s ability to blend into nothing. Some call her less than human, because the little amount that she speaks is only to answer questions asked of her, or offer info related to plans necessary. Other than that, people claim she has no life outside the business. She doesnโ€™t tend to hang around if she doesnโ€™t need to, and if not on the clock, Mila can rarely be found. Her absences have allowed whispers to grow, but few know where she actually goes when sheโ€™s not around the Emperor. Of course, most know that she is often working to gather intel on the Avaniciis. But the whispers of how she does so are what vary greatly. Some also claim to have seen her writing in a journal, but no journal has ever been found. There are also plenty of rumors spun about Milaโ€™s time gone, if anyone cares to remember such a thing occurred, because at this point, it seems very far in the rear view mirror. Rumors also circulate about why she doesnโ€™t take off the gloves. Scarred hands, does more dirty work than everyone thinks, missing fingersโ€ฆ It would be a lie to say that Mila is not aware of all these rumors, but she cares little to dissuade them.

"Hey, want some jerky?"
Full Name: Clarion Marion Williamsen
Nickname:
""Jerky"
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
Ethnicity: British-Irish
Family:
Avancinis
Role:
The Fool

Appearance:
1623720219143.png
On his back, this:
1623720346344.png
(Face claim: Chris Woods)

Personality: Oh, Clarion. Where to begin with this bag of disasters?
First off, the good: He will not quit. Fail twice, try thrice. Fail ten times, try eleven. Clarion will not let up on the task he's been given, like a hound chasing a... whatever hounds chase. Part of this is due to his desire to improve, to rise up above everyone else and establish a place for himself; another part of this is because he's just stupidly stubborn. When he's got his eyes on a particular target, the Williamsen boy visibly becomes more ecstatic and tenacious, as if pumped full of adrenaline by the mere thought of a goal. He has also come into possession of a particular kind of cunning that makes him a twofold threat: someone with unlimited stubbornness and the critical thinking skills to keep it in check.
The bad? Everything else. His stubbornness and sheer focus is only dwarfed by his chickenshit cowardice. Depending on how you viewed it, he was either a very brave sheep or a lion with severe backbone deficiencies; it's tough to discern whether he was a lowlife who grew his killer instinct through sheer luck and persistence, or a veneer of fear and self-preservation draped over the natural-born mafioso deep inside him. Willing to flee at the nearest sign of life-threatening danger, one only needs to send him on a mission he's not too enthused about to see why he needs that obvious goal to push him on the warpath. And to boot, his actual stupidity is quite high; critical thinking skills need to be supplemented with something called 'actual knowledge' and 'common sense', both of which he lacks deeply. Hand him anything he doesn't know inside-and-out, and he's very likely to either turn it inside-out, or use it to turn someone inside-out by mistake.

Outside of his 'work', he's a pretty cool guy. Talks a lot, defensive of his friends, and easy to talk to. He does take a while to befriend, however; he's not exactly kind towards complete strangers. An aloof and borderline-rude demeanor awaits anyone who bumps into him or breathes at him wrong, and if he's certain he can get away with it, Clarion won't hesitate to spill blood.

Background: Though his looks may tempt you to the contrary, the Williamsen boy wasn't exactly what you'd call "Youngblood". Right from the start, Clarion had barely managed his entry Stateside by squeezing himself into a Maersk shipping container along with a few other people, desperate for a new life - or any life at all - in the new land. His past on the crime side of history began since his youth: born of an irate Irish trucker, and mothered by some British cashier who happened to catch the Irishman's eye at a gas station one night. With an absent father and a deadbeat mother, he was already off to a good start. Take into account the gangs that recruited him from a young age, and his mother's continued neglect, is it any wonder that young Clarion went on a crime spree? Pickpocketing, vandalism and hooligan shit soon evolved into gang fights, burglaries and arson.... the stakes kept rising, and Clarion's skill rose with them.

It was a robbery and murder that finally tipped him over the edges. Haphazardly planned in cigarette-filled rooms, the Williamsen boy and his lads attempted a jewelry store robbery with some swanky new guns the boss had bought from those dope dealers down the block. It was all going to plan - until the storeowner came out of his room with a double-barreled shotgun. Two childhood friends gutted by buckshot, Clarion Marion went for the man's throat with a knife before he could reload, and his mind went into a blur. By the time he came to, the rest of his gang had fled the gunfire, and their screams were replaced by Scotland Yard voices. Clarion pocketed what little loot there was left and high-tailed it out the backdoor.

He traded the jewelry - along with every scrap of cash he had - for a 'deluxe' ticket to the Land of Opportunity at the nearest port he could find. He soon found the Avancinis, and the rest is history.

Extra: He currently 'works' as security for an Avancini front, a bistro with overpriced foods. He especially enjoys the jerky they serve there.

Reputation: Clarion makes use of the classic Foreign Student Effect (self-coined term), using the mystery of him coming from Britain to sound more dangerous than he really is. Those who theorize about him have... very interesting assumptions, as you will see below.
- He earned the nickname 'Jerky' from a hit where he pressed his target's face against a grill until it turned into jerky.
- Maybe he's not who he says he is. A man who looks like that can't be a mafioso, right? He's definitely just some guy.
- He doesn't actually have a tattoo; he just says he does to throw police off his tail.
- This guy fucks.
- This guy doesn't fuck.
- This guy is... a girl? Sometimes Clarion enters a room, and a girl comes out, with him nowhere to be seen.
- He's a sloppy amateur who's bound to be taken out by a regular beat cop or another Avancini soldier.
- He's a natural-born cutthroat who never misses a mark.
- He doesn't even like jerky, he's just trying to sound cool.
- His name is actually Clarence McDonald.
- His name is actually Clarence McDougall.
- He's actually a Saint's Heights local who just made up a fake tough persona - or he's an actual Avancini made man living under a cover.
