background

Vivian shares one parent with her brother: their mother. They do not have the same father, due to the fact her mother had an affair shortly after Victor was born. Unhappy in her marriage and life, she found comfort in the arms of a stranger, and Vivi was the product of that. Despite pressures that she should abort the child, her mother refused to do so, and Vivi was born nine months later. Her father was never looking to have a child, and was not a part of her life at all. Henry Cellers was not happy about Vivian, and he made his disdain clear from the beginning.

Her mother sank deeper into a depression, and if it weren't for the nannies hired to take care of the children, Vivi might not have even survived her first year. The only person who didn't seem to judge her for being a bastard child was Victor, and they grew close as the years went on. When they were just a few years old, their mother took her own life, and Vivi was the one to find her. They discovered the duo only thanks to Vivi's screams, finding the child covered in her mother's blood as she tried to rock and shake her back to life.

As Vivian and Victor became teenagers, it became clear to Vivi that Victor was the golden child, but she didn't hate him for that. It wasn't his fault, and she knew that. Their father doted on Victor, giving him everything he wanted and needed whereas Vivi was given the same, albeit reluctantly. It was obvious Victor's father wanted the best for his son, but to save face he did the same for both of his children, even if only one was technically his. They had the best tutors, anything they could want, and had high society friends who were, in Vivi's opinion, stuck up and rude.

Yet Victor always seemed to fit in with everyone, and Vivi stuck to his side because he was all she knew, and he actually cared. Vivi had her own mental issues, though whether they were hereditary or because of how she was raised, no one knew. She was no stranger to self harm, as it became her other best friend, besides Victor. She knew senior year was going to be rough without Victor, but that was nothing compared to how she felt when it was discovered that he was dead. She'd lost everything when she lost him.

background

Anders was born second to Heather Gibson, a few years behind his older brother Casey. Their father disappeared when the brothers were fairly young, though granted, Casey remembers him much better than Anders does. Anders basically remembers a ghost of a man who yelled alot, which is pretty much true. He came and went as he pleased, but when he was around, he did have a temper that flared more often than not. He and Heather fought constantly, and she kicked him out over and over again. Then one time, he didn't come back.

For a while, Casey and Anders talked about looking for the man, wanting to know what happened to him. Their mother overheard them talking one day and basically rained hell on them, demanding that they never look for him. Anders and Casey agreed, and Ders thought that was the end of it. He had no idea that Casey continued looking for the man, though, behind both his back and their mothers back. Casey did find him, though, when he was barely thirteen. Turns out the man was a high ranking member of a gang in the southside, and Casey wanted to join him.

Terry Gibson was a feared man, used to getting what he wanted, when he wanted. But he let Casey join, and because of this, Casey ran away from the home he shared with Anders and their mother. Just disappeared, like their father. Anders was devastated; Casey had been his best friend. He started slacking in school, getting terrible grades and even being on the verge of getting kicked out. He started hanging out with the wrong group of people, got involved in his own illegal activity with them. And that was when he found out his mom was sick.

As she lay on her deathbed, Anders heard a knock at the door. It was Casey, and the shadow he barely remembered as their father. Almost as though she was waiting to ensure her son would be taken care of, their mother passed a few days later, and Anders was being taken to a new town with his drug-involved father and brother. About the same age Casey was when he'd first found the man, Ders got introduced to the same lifestyle. He didn't want to go back to school but his father and brother made him, though he ended up dropping out in tenth grade so he could work. Well, "work".

Personality

Vanessa may have always lived on the wrong side of town, but she didn’t always act that way. She used to be studious and full of dreams of bigger and better things, but life has taught her that there are no shortcuts and few happy endings. Independent, strong willed and looking to make the most out of what little life has to offer those on the Southside, Vanessa has become more rebellious and has a close relationship with trouble. However, she has to work hard to stay out of jail or a homeless shelter, and often juggles multiple jobs to make ends meet. Vanessa is a lot to handle and sometimes a hot mess on the outside, but that is to distract from how guarded she is about personal matters.

Since she is often alone, without her family around, Vanessa seeks the fleeting comfort and company of men. She is quite the flirt and can be as dirty minded as the next guy, but her relationships never last long due to her fear of commitment. She doesn’t believe in true love or that there is any singular person meant for her.
Backstory

Vanessa was born to Connor and Rebecca Hill, and was the middle child- with an older brother and younger sister. While Connor Hill was born and raised in the Southside, Rebecca was from the Northside. After falling in love with a man beneath her and running away to marry him, Rebecca’s family disowned her. For a while she didn’t care though, and she and Connor built a life together in the Southside and began raising their family there. Rebecca’s parents, the Montgomery’s, wanted little to do with their grand children and rarely saw them. To make ends meet, Connor worked on an oil rig and would be gone for weeks or months at a time. Meanwhile Rebecca raised the children and worked as a receptionist at a Doctor’s Office on the Northside.

If there was trouble between their parents, Vanessa and her siblings, Carter and Kendra, didn’t know. The three of them dealt with the hardship of being poor but were otherwise happy.

Teenage Years

Unfortunately, when Vanessa was a teenager Rebecca began regretting her life choices and became bitter about being poor. She sought solace in the arms of one of the Doctors she worked for, enjoying being spoiled and doted upon by him. The two began an affair, which Rebecca hid by saying she was attending conferences. At one such “conference” Rebecca was in a boating accident with the Doctor, who had been driving drunk. The accident left Rebecca in a coma and exposed the affair to her husband and family. While the Doctor was required to pay for half of Rebecca’s medical bills and served minimal jail time, Connor was expected to pay the other half of his cheating, unconscious wife’s medical expenses.

This sent Connor into a tailspin and he was fired from the oil rig after showing up drunk to work too many times. Life crumbled around Vanessa and her siblings. The Montgomery’s offered to take Vanessa and her younger sister, who were 16 and 12 at the time, but deemed Carter, 18, an adult and a lost cause. Unable to abandon her brother and father, Vanessa refused. Unfortunately Connor agreed to let Rebecca’s parents take Kendra since she was too young to fend for herself.

Connor took up a truck driving job, trying to use the open road as a way to keep sober, and as a way to stay away from home as much as possible. Carter joined the army after graduating, and Vanessa found herself alone at home most of the time. She once tried to take her grandparents up on their offer to live with them, but she had scorned them with her initial refusal and they rescinded their offer.

Now

Vanessa dropped out of high school her junior year and got her GED so she could work full time to help pay the medical bills. Since then, she has held many different jobs, but never for long. Being largely alone and independent the past three years has had its effects on her, and she does not often get along well with her employers or authority.

On the rare occasion her father is home, it is a complete nightmare. While he manages to stay sober while on the rad out of necessity, he allows himself to wallow in his misery while at home, seeking solace that doesn’t exist in the bottom of his whiskey bottles. When Connor is at the house, Vanessa does her best not to be, fearing his drunken rages at the world. This often means staying at the house of whatever guy she’s currently hooking up with.

These days, Vanessa is the only one from her family to visit her mother in the hospital. While she’ll deny having any hope that her mother will wake up someday, Vanessa is terrified that she never will. Her feelings towards her mother ate
Jobs

Currently Vanessa works at a seedy bar on the Southside. She’s managed to keep this job for about half a year now. She also works part time at the library in the middle of town, spending her days shelving books and hating life.

Latest Run In With The Law

Vanessa has been brought home in the back of a police car more times than she can count, but she has always managed to talk her way out of serious trouble. However, one day her now ex boyfriend picked her up from work in a convertible car that he claimed he was borrowing from a friend. It was only during their joy ride when the lights of a police car flashed behind them that Vanessa learned the car was stolen. Vanessa’s ex was sent to jail for grand theft auto and she was sentenced community service. Now, Vanessa splits her time at the hospital between visiting her mom and volunteering in the children’s wing as part of her community service. She doesn’t tell anyone about her mother or volunteering though.

history

childhood

Liliana spent the majority of her life in the downtrodden parts of the southside, doing her best just to get by. Her father was an abusive drunk who couldn't keep a job to save his life. Her mother was a junkie who'd rather get high than spend time with or take care of her daughter. When she was about ten years old, Family Services finally caught on to what happened inside the Atwood household. Lily always figured her school teachers were the ones to make the report as she often showed up to school covering bruises and lacking any money for food. So, they took her away and put her in a foster home.

Unfortunately, those didn't last very long either. The reality of a lot of foster homes is that they just want the government money that the children bring. The children are often neglected, and Lily fell into that same fate. She bounced around from home to home, learning to be more and more independent at each location. As a teenager, Liliana swore she would never do drugs, seeing what they did to her mother. However, she found other vices in alcohol, cigarettes, and stealing. There was a bit of solace for her in learning about computers, particularly taking them apart and putting them back together again. It became a passion of hers, and she quickly got into hacking, electrical engineering, and computer science.

now

Somehow, Liliana was able to make it through high school without too much notice. She kept to the background, avoiding the spotlight as much as she could. She was quiet, didn't stir up trouble but didn't attract it either. At least, not on the surface. Though she dreamed of working in computers one day and getting herself out of that shithole of a town, there was little hope. On her 18th birthday, Lily's foster parents tossed her out on the street with a single duffle bag of her things. She had to do whatever it took to survive.

It started small, picking wallets out of the pockets of people on the streets. That turned into slipping items into her bag at the corner store, picking the locks on jewelry cases in department stores, and eventually night-time B&Es. Lily found she was surprisingly good at it, silent in her movements and relatively unnoticeable. She never took more than she could handle, and often only slipped out with small items that wouldn't necessarily be noticed right away. She could sell or pawn them before the owner was any the wiser.

And then there was hacking. Her passion for computers revealed a much more criminal addiction. Lily was a thief, no matter how hard she tried not to be. She worked part-time at a local motorcycle repair shop, but it wasn't enough to pay the bills. Instead, Liliana found a much more lucrative venture in hacking bank accounts and transferring the money into off-shore, untraceable accounts until eventually they were wired into her own. It wasn't easy, requiring card numbers and personal information, and it made her feel bad about something that she otherwise loved. So Lily only really hacks when she absolutely needs to. Maybe one day she will get to follow her dreams. But for now, she's stuck on the southside.

Robert Atwood

father

Robert Atwood grew up with an abusive, drunk father of his own. Though he wanted to break the cycle when he was younger, the odds were against him. Unfortunately, the cycle continued. Lily hasn't seen or talked to her father since she was taken away. For all she knows, he's dead.

Molly Atwood

mother

Molly was the head cheerleader, the girl next door, the pastor's daughter. What began as a path to success crumbled when she was drugged and attacked at a high school party. She got addicted, her parents kicked her out, and she had no one to help pull her up again. Drugs became everything to her. Liliana ran into her mother once on the streets of the southside just after she graduated high school, but the blonde woman didn't even recognize her own daughter. They haven't spoken since.

history

childhood

The Devereauxs were a family based on old money from the oil industry. Dominic's great-grandfather acquired land rich with liquid gold, and quickly grew his small operation into an empire. As his finances grew, so did his property range and distribution area until he was one of the primary oil moguls for the Americas. Everywhere he went, he seemed to find oil, and the rumor mill coined it the 'Devereaux Luck.' By the time he was 40, Dom's ancestor had made so much money and invested so intelligently that several generations of descendants after him would be set for life.

When Vincent Devereaux inherited the company, he quickly grew tired of the long hours and stress it took to run such a long corporation. He was generally a laid-back man and didn't like to do more than was absolutely required of him. That being said, what Vincent lacked in drive, he more than made up for in business strategy. With more money than he knew what to do with, he sold shares of the company to create an administrative board that could ultimately run the company while he acted as the figurehead and reaped the rewards.

Dominic Devereaux was born as the first child to Vincent and Tanya Devereaux a couple of years after they married. He grew up in a mansion in the hills of the Northside surrounded by whatever he wanted. The newest toys, the most stylish clothing, gourmet food, and the most renowned tutors, he had it all. Even when his little sister came along a few years after him, Dom couldn't help but let the wealth go to his head. It led to a personality that was a mix of charm and manipulation, generosity and narcissism, empathy and dominance. He was the epitome of a spoiled rich kid.

now

Unlike his sister, who is attending college in pursuit of a law degree, Dominic is perfectly fine not working and living off of his parents' money. After graduating high school, he cashed out his trust fund and moved into his own penthouse apartment. As the heir to the throne of an oil empire, Dominic became a local celebrity, a socialite. He spent a couple of years travelling the world, seeing everything that there was to see and claiming that he had 'partied on every continent, even Antarctica.' He quickly became known for his playboy ways as the tabloids never got pictures of him with the same woman twice.

After receiving a rather panicked phone call from his sister one evening, Dominic decided to return to the Northside. She had uncovered some of their great-grandfather's secrets when founding his business and wanted him to keep an eye on things. Despite having no business expertise, the older Devereaux sibling began to go to the office more, sitting in on board meetings and making suggestions where appropriate. He would not let their family secrets ruin the perfect life he lived.
gallery

rel.

Vincent Devereaux

father

Vincent believes that he is a 'picture-perfect' father. As a child of old money, the most work he does is being a figurehead for the oil company his grandfather founded. Everything is generally left up to the board, he just reaps the luxurious rewards. Vincent has made sure to be there for his children over the years, giving them whatever they want when they want it, taking them on exciting trips around the world, and enrolling them in the best schools available. Dominic would love to be like his father one day, and looks up to him like a role model.

Tanya Devereaux

mother

Tanya comes from humble beginnings as the daughter of a farmer. She met Vincent on one of his business trips to buy up more land for the company. She was entranced by his goofy personality and generous nature. Her family had been losing money on their farm for several years and was about to go bankrupt when Devereaux Oil Corps dug them out. Tanya tries to teach her son to be humble, to appreciate what he has, and not take it for granted. Those lessons generally go in one ear and right out the other, but they love each other just the same.

Genevieve Devereaux

sister

Genevieve is Dominic's younger sister by two years. She's in her second year of college in another state in pursuit of an environmental law degree. Unlike her older brother, Gen is not content with coasting through life on the coattails of old money and wants to make a name for herself. Nevertheless, Dom is fairly protective over her and the pair are generally close. She was the one who originally found out about their great-grandfather's land issue, and the siblings have kept it a secret ever since, despite the questionable morals.

Personality

Maxim has a hard exterior, built up from living his life in the sometimes brutal Russia, but has a soft center. When allowed freedom and to relax with his beloved Vodka, he is a friendly, party animal. His time in America has allowed him to open up and experience a culture that isn’t so restricted. While he is tough through and through, he doesn’t constantly need to show or prove it while staying in the Northside, and has loosened up gradually. Though he is quick to throw a punch when angered or feeling challenged. At the end of the day he will fiercely protect those he cares about and is a loyal friend. Just don’t expect him to remember to take out the trash or meet you somewhere on time. He has a knack for forgetting about things or getting distracted. Besides, he views his time in America as an extended vacation, so he doesn’t really want to do any extra work.
Backstory

Maxim is the oldest son of Pyotr and Manya Drosdov, who then went on to have four more children after him. His parents have run a family restaurant together since Maxim can remember, which they inherited from Pyotr’s parents. The family was not rich by any means, but comfortable by their standards. The family of seven shared a three bedroom house in a smaller town on the outskirts of one of the larger cities, with the boys sharing one room and the girl’s the other. With many families only able to afford apartments or flats, the Drosdovs considered themselves very lucky to have a house with a small backyard, even if it was too small for their large family.

Teenage Years

Wanting to help his family out and to help build a better life for them, one in which his parents did not constantly have to work, Maxim focussed very hard in school. He wanted to get high marks so he could get the best university education possible with the hopes of establishing a well paid career. While his parents appreciated the dreams of their son, they knew reality wasn’t always so kind in their country, so they pushed him to consider just running the family business after they retire.

With his aspirations curbed, Maxim began to slack a little, and shifted his goals. If he was going to be stuck working for the family business his whole life, he wanted to see as much of the world as he could first. He began saving up money, and any chance he got he and his buddies would take small trips into Europe to explore other countries. These small trips at the age of 16 end 17 led to Max joining a foreign exchange program his senior year, which allowed him to attend high school in America. He loved the year he spent as a Northside student, and began to wish he could move to America permanently.

Luckily, after graduating his senior, Maxim was able to get into the local college and have his student visa extended.

Now

Maxim is still living in the guest house of the rich family he came to stay with for the foreign exchange program. He is a Freshmen at the local college, taking general classes while he figures out what to do in life. He has made good friends in town with his fellow Northsiders, and doesn’t want to go back to Russia. All that is there for him are his friends and family, but no future. In his ideal world (not that of his parents’ though) his family would immigrate to America as well. Maxim wants to have his cake and eat it too.
Job

While Maxim dislikes having to work while having the time of his life in America, he has to pay for his boarding somehow. To make money, Max works part time at one of the local gyms as a trainer. He works as few shifts as possible though. During hockey season, he also helps coach the Northside middle school team.

The Swansons

As part of the foreign exchange program, the Swanson family took Maxim in. Mr. Swanson was running for a seat on city council at the time and wanted good publicity- figuring that taking a foreign student in out of the goodness of his heart would help the polls. It did, luckily, so Maxim has been welcome at their house since. Originally Max lived in the main house while attending high school, but when he graduated and the program ended, the Swansons agreed to rent their guest house out to him. While snobbish, the Swansons have always been kind to Max, and he envies their lavish lifestyle. One day he wants to be able to afford to live like them, though his lazy streak may get in the way. Maxim was friends with the eldest Swanson son, but he went off to Harvard after graduating. He is kind to the Swanson’s daughter, but sees her more as a little sister than a friend.

BACKSTORY.

Story of Bianca Clayton is not special at all. Quite the contrary, most of her life, she was as ordinary as it was possible. Until she hit fifteen and shit hit the fan, turning her life upside down in a way no one would ever expect.

Raymond and Melissa Clayton were the embodiment of the high school sweethearts couple. They were not exactly the most popular kids or anything, basically, they were in the middle of the spectrum and managed to steer clear of all the useless drama. They had their own group of friends and each other, never needing more than they got. Life was good to them both. They came from nice middle class families, born and raised in that small town and the only time they left was for college. How they managed to stay together for the whole time was a mystery to everyone around them but apparently, they were that proverbial exception to the rule. After graduating college, they moved back and decided to get married. Despite being a law major, Melissa decided to open a small café instead. She was not in a mood to enter the high games of the law and her small business gave her that satisfaction of making people smile with a steaming cup of coffee and chocolate chip muffin to go with it. Raymond joined a construction company as their accountant and the two led a quiet satisfied life. There was only one step left.

When the Clayton twins, Veronica and Bianca were born, the family was finally complete. The girls were practically inseparable from the day one. They really were those cliché twins who did everything together, even wore the same clothes, just different colors so people could tell them apart. However, the older they were, the more people could differentiate because their personalities were vastly different. While Bianca remained a bit more quiet and reserved, Veronica turned into a social butterfly. She never had problems talking to people, making friends, she was well on her way to even join the popular clique at high school. That one thing did not sit well with Bianca and she tried to convince her twin to stay away. Not that it helped. Right in their freshman year, Veronica joined the cheerleading squad, thinking she could have it all. Mistake.

The twins drifted apart a little because while Ronnie was all about cheerleading this and party that, Bianca focused on her studies, closed off a little and tried to fly under the radar to avoid being bullied for whatever the high school royalty decided was the topic of the day. The real break came one day when Bia was cornered by a few cheerleaders, becoming the subject of their torture. Don’t get her wrong, she was no scaredy cat but there was only so much one girl could do against four athletes, each holding a cup full of cherry slushie. In the middle of this, Veronica appeared, interrupting the session. A part of her was ready to save her twin from the ordeal but then the infamous question came. “Are you with her…or with us?”

Bianca expected a lot, she knew how much Ronnie sacrificed for the way of living and all but the fact that her sister grabbed a slushie and threw it in Bianca’s face…she did not see that one coming. Rage bubbled in Bianca’s veins and she was trying hard not to lash out, not to give them all the satisfaction. They were not getting her tears, not ever, but the betrayal stung worse than the slushie in her eyes. Uttering a sarcastic congratulations to Ronnie for becoming exactly like those superficial bitches, Bia ran out of school, not really knowing where to go. And only when she was sure she was alone, the girl let those waterworks free, knowing this was the day she truly lost her sister. She just didn’t know how wrong she was.

It took weeks for sisters to talk again. Bianca would not even look at Veronica and Ronnie felt like Bia was taking the joke way too seriously. Their parents had no idea what to do and Bianca was getting showered by the icy sweet treat every day from that one encounter. She even started to bring spare clothes to school. This silent war was going on for a while before Ronnie decided to end it, trying to make things right with her sister. She asked her to go out with her one day, to come to a nearby lake on the edge of the forest where they loved to play as kids. Their secret spot no one knew about. And right that day after school, Ronnie went there. It was the last time anyone saw her.

And a few weeks later, Sherriff rang at the door of the Clayton house to announce they found her. Well, they found a corpse in a cheerleading uniform at the bottom of the lake but the autopsy confirmed it was Veronica. That moment changed Bianca forever. She returned to her old self, closed off even more and though she was still quite sweet to the others, helpful and your regular girl next door you always go to for help, it was like a part of her died with Ronnie. Bianca took it upon herself to investigate in secret, to figure out what happened to her twin. However, the trace went cold and she never did. Not that she ever gave up...

BACKSTORY.

If you asked Maddox, he’d say that life was not exactly generous to him. Not that he was a crybaby, not at all. Madds had learned to play with the hand he was dealt. But he’d always say that it would be nice to see life not kicking him in the balls for once.

Maddox Grant was a product of one passionate night between his parents who never really end up together. No reason for it anyway. It was the way Wild Dogs did things. It never meant anything to either of his parents, it was nothing more than a drunken night of two hormones-driven young people and somehow, Maddox happened. Ever since his early childhood, he was bounced between his parents like a volleyball and his earliest memories are of them arguing whose turn it was to babysit. Maddox did not grow up in a loving environment and was definitely not flooded by compassion but sooner rather than later, he started to understand it was how the Dogs did everything.

Ever since he could walk and talk, Maddox was learning more and more about this way of life. Wild Dogs were deeply rooted in him, he was a Dog born and raised. Once he hit fifteen, he got his tattoo stating he was a rightful member. Of course, after he passed his initiation, learned the rules and accepted the authority of the Dog King. School was never any priority for the boy and he only went because he had to. But not the “posh and fancy snob school” they had on the Northside, MJ went to school in his part of town. Scrappy building, not even looking good, lacking text books and study materials and even some classroom equipment. It was not exactly the best place to get your education but it was a school. Enough for Maddox to graduate from and get rid of that duty.

Graduation came soon, Madds threw his hat up with the rest of his class and right after, he threw his school stuff in the fire. That part of his life was over and it was time to become a Dog through and through. By that time, his mom was gone. Lydia smelled the chance once a group of bikers was passing through the town and couldn’t resist the charming smile and tattooed biceps of their leader. And he sat her on the back of his Harley and they rode in the sunset together. MJ didn’t even know before she was already gone. Not that he cared. That woman was not much of a mother to him anyway. However, once school was over, he became much closer with his dad who started to recognize a real Dog talent in his son.

Maddox got largely into gang stuff, the crazier, the better. Although he never had a proper family, Dogs gave him everything he needed and they became is family instead. He would die for each and every one of them just like they would do for him. His loyalty got him far and he became one of the most trusted members of the inner circle in one year. The only thing that prevented him from going even further was his temper. Madds was never a calm guy. Even back at school he had a reputation of an asshole who delivers the punch first and asks questions later. His fists got him in a whole lot of trouble and even more so after school. Maddox was never shy to beat a Northside ass up or break a nose of one of them.

It was close to his twentieth birthday when he was coming home from a random celebration he and his pals threw because they felt like it. MJ was drunk as hell, could barely see the road in front of him and was alone. They felt bold that night so they went to a small pub on the Northside. Just before he crossed the border to his part of the town, Madds met a group of those stuffy assholes in varsity jackets. Naturally, they would provoke him and since Madds never really needed a lot, he got into a fight only to end up lying in a puddle of his own blood. He woke up right there, it was almost morning and the boy was lying in a road dust. It felt like thousand hammers were hitting his head and his left eye was so swollen he could barely see. How he got home, he had no idea but one thing he remembered very well despite his intoxicated state. The face of the fucker who was so cowardly he had two of his lackeys hold him while he was ramming Madds as much as he could.

When his injuries receded a bit and Maddox could finally move around without wincing, he put together a group of his boys and it was it. They marched to the Northside right to the school and slashed the tires of all those expensive vehicles while the parking lot was empty. All but one. There was a nice fancy black Range Rover parked nearby and Maddox decided he always wanted to drive one. And it was a small price to pay after what those fucktards did to him. Back then, he had no idea…

That was a few months ago, Maddox does not drive the Range Rover anymore, with a bit of luck, no one ever will and the car will be forever hidden in the local swamps with Maddox’s darkest secret.
