Astoria had been an aspiring actor for years; always taking the lead roles in her school's plays and doing everything she could to get a spot in commercials or as background characters. By the time she was 17, Astoria had already made her way to being a C-list actor by accepting the lead role in the sci-fi show, "Last One Standing." Because of her early career, she had a distant family life. Being constantly on set pulled her apart from her parents and siblings, leaving their only contact being at premiers she would invite them to. Although she did manage to graduate high-school, she never pursued furthering her education (against her parents' wishes). Unlike her TV personality, Astoria talks her mind and is never afraid to voice her opinion. She comes off as cold at times, but in reality she is an over-protective mama bear; always motivating her friends to do better and protecting them when she can. Astoria is known for being loyal, but quick tempered with certain subjects. She never turns down a fan, but she does her best to stay in the shadows so she doesn't cause too much attention.
If Astoria wasn't playing herself, she would beg Natalie Portman.
A little bit about me... I am 23. I'm from the USA, Mountain time. I've been writing for almost 10 years now, though I'm out of practice and I'm trying to improve. I can post several times a day, but on the weekends it would be limited to once at night, maybe twice. I work from home, and I spend a lot of my free time being scratched by my cat and attempting to better my cosplays. If anyone wants to add me on discord to find me easier, please PM me! I would say I'm a 4 on the social scale.

Bio/Personality: Born to an African American/ Native American father and a mother from Barbados, Xia was originally born in the Virgin Islands where she spent the first 3 years there as a child. From the time she was born and through her life, Xia was quite a rambunctious one since childhood.
Usually in fights and in trouble, Xia was never afraid to stand up for herself. Going from fighting girl and then to guys who picked on her and then having a bit of a temper, she was a bit difficult to deal with. Her father was in the navy, mostly having to move around to different places her father was stationed. This allowed her to see different cultures such as Hawaii, Japan, and even Puerto Rico.
Despite her behavior problem as a younger child, she eventually got better with her attitude and began maturing a bit. She have big heart for people and very caring towards the children. To match her aggression, she took up sports, Capoeira, and MMA to channel that aggression into something positive.
When her father got injured from a car accident and the injuries caused him to not have a lot of mobility along with constant muscle pain, Xia wanted to take up physical therapy and massage therapy to try and help treat her father from his pain. Even with an outspoken nature, she is a sweetheart deep down.
She's had a few relationship problems through her teens. Most of her boyfriends cheated on her or just tried fighting her. She lost her virginity at 16 but then dumped a week later after being used by him. Since then, she's had many more relationship issues and at one time, dated female.
With all that she's been through, he mother noticed all the stress she's had living at home trying to help her father, dealing with relationships, and just being unhappy in general where she was living. As a suggestion, her mother offered that she should move away and start brand new and that's where Sol City came to play.
It have not been long since Xia moved to Sol City, maybe a month or more now and she is currently still getting used to such a lively city. No friends yet but she keeps herself busy while looking to find new work in her profession so to make the money she'd like. She have no idea what's to come but she will make the best of it.

Now a pilot instructor for deadlaus airlines training on helicopters but now returning to her previous job sideways and up as Co Pilot on the 100J cargo plane, a Civilian version of the famous C130.
Bio/Personality: Daughter of an English wealthy family, her mother Maria raised her alone after her father Vesarian a captain and owner of a shipping enterprise involved in several less than above board jobs left her before she was born.
Raised on the family estate she was taught for her younger years quickly learning to be fluent in both Latin and English as an old family tradition dictated. Sent off to a private academy when she was barely in secondary education, she soon found her skills after an injury on running track in the swimming pool and won multiple awards in various championships. Though this time was not all easy, being away from family for so long, being abandoned as a child and a lack of a โhomeโ took its toll and made her distant and also reserved.
Things turned round when she took a flying lesson for fun as part of the academies extracurricular programme; she soon took to it and passed her full license just before she was 18.
Returning home to her family, the manufacturing business was turning nasty and a rival firm moving meant her happy reunion was shortlived soon sucked into the internal battles, rivalries internal and external that had plagued the family for decades. Worse still when a mugging went wrong left her with a now scar she hides on her stomach she decided to try and find her own way and escape her familyโs internal pull down into its darkside of wealth.
Meeting her step sister Victoria and her father just before she left was the final straw and headed off and worked for a mix of local airlines, helicopter taxi and other jobs before now taking a role at the Sol city Daedalus Airlines and settling down into a smaller but well-furnished top floor apartment in one of the outer districts.
Recently arrived into the city she has not got many ties to the place, renting everything out of habit from a pre furnished apartment, to an offroad SUV (land rover Discovery) on short term leases, never wanting long term ties to a place.
(Had to leave anchorage after a news article linked her father to legal arms trade in Africa and her and his name where linked by a investigative journalist. Headed to Sol city to take up a new work contract for local air freight company.)
Personality wise she is fairly confident, flirty but also takes a while to warm to people having moved about so much. Fairly easy going, slower to trust though and less willing to forgive. Not always wanting to get very close to people as less to deal with when she moves on. Maybe the new city will change her outlook or just be another stamp on the passport.
Caring but again takes time for that to happen after many moves, and too many people. Generally takes time for true self to evident.
Has very few personal effects with her bar the named jewellery as had been pretty nomadic since she was 18 ish, 9 years or thereabout.
Chapter One
Recently working for deadlaus she survived a assult by Bob and being drugged at a jazz event early in city. Became close to several people in the city.
Was on TV and by chance radio comms listing announced the winner of Sol city Grand prix. One of hosts of the Olympus Heavy Industries Gala.
Relationships with Joel has began to go somewhat off track and they had there problems but also does not want to give up on things. Be it as a freind, or more.
After a events and taking a permanent contract they reactivated a family property to provide her and her sister a more secure and private home in the city. Currently unsure about her relationships and friendships in the city, given Dramas at the end of the Gala. Now more settled having moved to her family property in the city, its privacy and increased security having been beneficial to her mental health and mind set.
Still worried what certain people will react like knowing they moved into and family own a Manor on one of the most prestigious historical streets in the city, where many homes have been held in families or passed down for decades. Still she found it easy to slot into the position of a Lady of the Manor vs a apartment.
Chapter Two
As chapter one closed, Marinalia still found herself stalked by the drama Llama. Bob was captured but that did not end her fears. That would only close later on in the chapter. Changing roles she became a flight instructor for the helicopter school.
One night out to Club Either would change a few lives. Meeting Ethan, Xia and catching Joel and Sio hand first hand. In bar fight later, lawyer and a chance meeting.
The snow storm below in hard, very hard and soon the entire city was shut down. Saving Xia whom she had a swimming contest with prior. Night time wanderings, a robe that slipped and a few moments later a tentative bond grew.
Drama spiked again at the art showing. Victoria and Ethans baby came about and the news drama took turns. Xia and Marlins first date together properly, drama with Siobhan, Lexi, milo and paige.
A Surprisingly uneventful afternoon Marilania flew Paige and Milo to the showdown on Catilina Island. Bob was closed and new chapters began.
Maria's wedding took over her planned trip to England back home on the Olympus Estate, though a short guest list. After the wedding, a trip to the Carbian, Bikini,s and a break she needed with Xia.
On Marinalia return she had another job change, who said jobs where permanent eh. Thanks to her experience and skills she was chosen to qualify on the new addition to the fleet, 100J civilian model to the legendary C130 transport plane. As a Co pilot but now flying the big, but newest lady in the fleet.

Fully gated entrence and walled gardens.
Now home to the Romus Sisters after events as the property provides higher security and more space in privacy than there former old harbour apartment. Recently with a extensive state of art system of cameras, alarms. Sensors and so ringing property inside and out.
Bio/Personality: Born to Vesarian after he left Maria , her mother was killed in a accident when she was young and seeking a redemption for leaving his first daughter he vowed to never let down his second.
Her life was fairly normal to begin with bar her father being away alot as part of his job and often was in care of a nanny or other relatives around half the year.
She was a normal confident teanager before the condition hit her and was a promising track athlete, even attracting attention of the county scouts. All that was to come to end when she began to weaken, her skin went pale as snow and soon things looked dire.
Her father who had made his money in the shipping industry working on jobs regardless of the moral aspects and high on the financial reward soon plowed every resource he had into finding a cure for the condition and rapidly made a large dent in his fortunes he had earned.
The recovery took several years in which she was often stuck at home or hospitals and soon began learning to code apps and other digital systems. Plenty of time to learn she soon mastered it and found she enjoyed it, also meaning she could work from home and avoid some of the stares she got in public.
Though she began to regain her confidence she never was going to regain her skills and fitness she had. She eventually regained contact with her half sister and the two soon formed a strong bond once they got to know each other.
She ended up at Sol city after her father's business arrangements when exposed in a documentary on armaments shipments to Africa. With less friendly attention growing back in England she decided to move in with her sister and start afresh over in Sol City where she was just another young woman.
Her title stems from her father, much like her sister but the family wealth and estate was spent and gone several generations ago and all their current wealth was built by her father.
Her personality and confidence slowly began to recover after her illness and also earning her own money after years of being supported by her father or others. Though still needing some support she has began to regain her independence and moving in with her sister was the best option available. and though slow to trust and warm is very loyal once her friendship is earned.
Her personality has changed slightly and fluctuated though currently her colder and darker side has begun to become more at ease with herself, working for grey clients such as defense contractors and arms companies. with her cure came more growing confidence and ability to put her extensive skills to use.
Working in coding and digital systems has meant she can escape the office and work from home, not tied to a county she was able to carry on her work even when forced to move countries. Both her father and half sister have been very protective of the youngest member of the family, despite her desire for independence she has long realised she does need some support day to day.
Chapter One
Living in Sol with her sister, she had a few bumps along the way and already had a intresting time to say the least. Love, won, maybe lost and a momment involving a BMW and a diamond ring. A messy gala Evening, and other social fumbles including having to support her sister after a attack early in there time in the city. Life has not been quiet for the younger Romus sister.
A relationship with Milo has not been the most successful, what seemed liked a fairy tale romance that began to break down abit. Still hoping for a freind, she not sure if they quite lovers anymore.
Due to a cure, mostly experimental in nature in Texas, she was restored somewhat and returned dramatically Raven haired, regained mobility and a more gothic style. Darker at times and willing to work a fairly grey job, the pay checks however are quite abit higher than more apceptble publicly work.
Chapter Two
Drama summed up Victoria, s experiences in chapter 2. An early meeting with a prior acquaintance was interesting showcasing how much she had changed.
Then the drama came. Meeting Ethen randomly at a night club event that ended up in arrests, drama and have longer effects. A date, a snow storm and night of passion later, well Victoria had made a rather large life changing action. Approving of the relationship between Marlin and Xia, it was adorable.
When the art event came after a rather tense bruch with Siobhan and her agent, well was less fun.Drama, well no one said there lives where dull. A rather unprivate moment and suspicions later, well no hiding tiny feet on the way.
It was not all bad, a chance meeting met she reconnected with an old friend, Dira from Moscow.
Before she left for the UK to her dad and Marlins mums wedding, it was fairly quiet bar the destruction of Club Eather.
Returning back, one job lost and a second gained thanks to Arcady and the Russians. Sol adventures await. And a ticking biological timer ready if she was or not in 7-8 months.

Profession: +Mechanic/Owner Apex Designs, a small, single-door garage, tucked away on the industrial Southside +Driver for Rebellion Energy Drinks World Rally Team.
Bio/Personality: Joel is a man who views himself as someone not necessarily doing what they want to do in life, but doing what they're good at. He enjoys repairing the automotive woes of many of Sol Cityโs wealthy clientele. However, even though his work is considered some of the best in the city, heโs often equally known for his lengthy vacations and costly invoices. Additionally armed with a business degree that he earned off of an only briefly offered scholarship in his youth, he very carefully balances work, play and sometimes outright laziness. He keeps no set schedule and can be found in his shop sometimes at the most bizarre of hours.
Outwardly, Joel has a very arrogant aura that often turns off others. Heโs been told that heโs โunapproachableโ and though he likes the thought of being intimidating, sometimes he does feel a genuine desire to have deeper conversations. He enjoys flirting and being in some social venues, but often feels bored and out of place. He doesnโt consider himself extroverted. Interestingly, he tends to talk non-stop while working on vehicles and has his own crowd of conversational regulars, often the bored and retired older men of the city, that stop by just to see what heโs working on.
Joel is very aware of his eccentricities and has a warped sense of justice. He enjoys watching people that may have wronged him or refused his advice โget what they deserveโ to the point of comedy. Heโs never satisfied for very long.
Joel in Chapter One: Joel continued to his eccentric and reclusive lifestyle throughout most of Chapter One only making brief appearances on the outskirts of major city events when his pathway unfortunately crossed with the regular citizens of Sol. Joel spent the vast majority of his bizarre schedule preparing his custom-built Nissan 300ZX for the Sol City Grand Prix. A project which he also used as a convenient excuse to not participate in major events such as the Winter Party and downtown Jazz Night despite the encouragement of his friends. Only after being forced to take a detour off the outer loop one night after being chased by the police for speeding did he happen to meet Marinalia โMarlinโ Olympus at the Old Cargo Airport where he and his business partner, Tommy Lomax, kept many of their imports from Asia in the Daedalus Airlines warehouse.
As chance would have it, Joel would again encounter Marlin at the same airport as he and the team rolled out the car for testing on a rented area of the facility. Unbeknownst to Joel, Tommy for some time and effort arranged sponsorship of the car with Marlinโs family to give the team a publicity boost for the upcoming race. As part of the agreement, the car would โraceโ a sleek air-racer piloted by Marlin for exhibition. Furious at being kept in the dark over the agreement, Joel at first wanted nothing to do with the show, but after watching Tommy lose to the plane, he took the wheel and won in a quick rematch much to the chagrin of some of Marlinโs wealthy family who turned out for the demonstration. A bit of a rivalry and tense friendship began to grow between Joel and Marlin.
The Grand Prix weekend put the team in the spotlight as other teams and cars descended from around the world for the final race of the Formula GT season on the streets of Sol and after a hard-fought race, Joel and Tommy managed to best their arch rivals from the factory Nissan team and win the Grand Prix after three years of trying. Joel was instantly elevated to national fame in the days following the race however, the drama following the race was more than he could bear starting with his falling out with Marlinโs snooty family at the Olympus Heavy Industries Victory Gala. After leaving the party to step outside, he encountered a drunken Siobhan Murphy and a flirtatious friendship was formed. He made an agreement to modernize Siobhanโs derelict, inherited Corvette after he returned from a business trip to Japan.
Chapter Two sees Joel returning from Tokyo after a two week hiatus from Sol where he claimed his share of a secret wager made with Nissan before the race. Fame has changed him little and looks to continue his eccentric business only out desire rather than necessity.
Joel in Chapter Two: Returning from Japan, Joel started Chapter Two after a long break from Sol City, but continuing in his not so steady routines of obscurity, bizarre schedules and general lack of interest regarding any accepted social norms. However, his growing relationship with Siobhan Murphy marked the biggest change in Joelโs life upon his return. Still riding a wave of fame from winning the Sol City Grand Prix in Chapter One, Joel found himself pulled in many different directions regarding his future career choices in motorsport as well as life around Southside. After mulling over the myriad of communications pouring regularly into Apex Designs with Sio, Joel chose to test with new Rebellion Energy Drinks World Rally Team.
The choice proved to be a fortuitous one and Joelโs natural talent for rally was evident while the eccentric nature of the sport itself suited his unusual tastes. Being the sole car on the stage with only the difficulty of the course in front of him played to his natural strengths as a driver. Joel signed with the team for their inaugural season in the World Rally Series, driving a factory-backed Volkswagen Polo and for the first time in many years became employed by an organization other than himself. The weeks that followed were spent practicing at the teamโs headquarters on Mount Atlas and preparing for the first rally of the season set in Jamaica.
In personal matters, Joelโs relationship with Siobhan continued to become more exclusive, often to the chagrin of some of his Chapter One detractors who were jealous of Sio. The redheadโs eclectic and creative nature complimented Joel well and he grew accustomed to having her around, even during the late-night and early morning hours. The work on her Corvette restoration continued along with Joelโs new commitments with the rally team and the two grew closer as the date of the first rally approached. After dispelling a creeping acquaintance, Sio accepted Joelโs invitation to come along for the event on an all expenses paid trip to Jamaica with the rally team.
As Chapter Three unfolds, Joel finds himself again returning to Sol City after becoming the first man to win the Sol City Grand Prix and also score a podium finish in a World Rally Series event- the first American to do so in decades. The rally was an unbelievable success for the new team and the after-party that followed was equally as unbelievable. While Joelโs popularity soars, so also does his firm relationship with Siobhan.

Age: 34 What part of the world are you from?: FL, USA How many years have you been writing/roleplaying: Around 19 How often do you have time to post?: Usually 2-3 times per week, maybe more depending on my work schedule/other things. Anything else you want to mention?: I actually work a pretty cool job, but it does demand a lot of time out of me sometimes. I'm married and have three kids. Roleplay/Writing is one of my few surviving hobbies in adulthood next to working out and maybe a racing game on xbox here and there. I usually only have time to write one game at a time here on the Guild so this is mostly it as you can see in my posting history. I'm going to keep doing my level best to make sure Sol City stays a winner. I try to take care of my players, so if you're reading this and thinking about joining, we'll be glad to have you.
Special Talent: Siobhan is very observant. To the point of being accused of reading minds, which she can't.
Profession: Artist. From portrait to digital. Most recently her charity work for several various charities that cater to children in need.
Bio/Personality: Siobhan had an easy childhood. She was adopted by her parents as an infant and raised as their daughter. It didn't hurt that they were social elite and affluent to boot. They told her at a young age of the adoption and being the kind soul that she is Siobhan soon accepted it. It took her a while, about 6 months but she realized that she was lucky that she got the parents she had. She was ten at the time. Her parents encouraged her love of the arts and wanted to help her launch her career with their influence. Siobhan will have none of it. She wants to stand on her own in this area and has done well for herself since she turned eighteen. That was not a good year emotionally for her. Her best friend, Genevieve, committed suicide that year due to a brutal sexual assault. She launched a line of paintings in Genevieve's honor titled "Portrait of Genny". Which depicted scenes from her memories of Genevieve. The paintings evolved to Genevieve's death which was likened to John Everett Millais' famous Ophelia painting. She organized her own auction and donated the proceeds to Genevieve's family and set up a fund for sexual assault victims. This launched her career in the art world and garnered attention from the elite philanthropist all over. Of course that's the good that happened to her, well that and the worst that's happened so far. She's had men in her life but no one special. After Genevieve's assault she distanced herself from men and doesn't let them to close, consequently she is still innocent.
Siobhan is all smiles very friendly and engaging. She loves to listen and can come off as introverted but is not, she just likes watching people. She is a people person and likes to be around others. How else does she get subject material for her art. She is never far from her sketch pad and most of the time has paint, pastels, chalk, whatever her latest medium is on her, be it on clothes or herself. However when it comes to formal functions she cleans up rather well. She is a HUGE nerd and loves Star Wars, several book series, comics and adores Charmed as her favorite TV series. She loves to cosplay as well and Comic-Con is an absolute must.
****Chapter 1: Recently she is come more out of her shell and has adopted Paige as a pseudo older sister/best friend. She's even made friends with a couple of guys. Joel and Milo.
*****Chapter 2: Joel and Siobhan finally got together and they are an item. Much to Marlinโs chagrin. Siobhan has really let down barriers with Joel. For her heโs the real deal. She loves to support his racing since they share a love of fast cars. Speaking of cars, Karen, her โVette is finally done.
Likes: Animals, drawing, dancing, singing, painting, people watching.

I'm a small group person, makes it easier to follow
Down-to-earth, laid back, and genuinely candid, Yoji is an approachable guy. He loves getting to know people, and has no trouble carrying on a conversation. While heโs the go-to guy you'll want to have at any hangout, don't expect anything beyond a surface-level friendship. Yoji prefers to play his cards close to his chest. He's had many friends and acquaintances, but nobody he's ever confided in. Uncle Hanjiro is the only person that truly understands him, but even he doesn't know about his nephew's sleepless bouts of anxiety, or the constant dread of feeling alone, misunderstood. Nevertheless, Yoji brushes his dilemmas aside, buries them somewhere deep, and hides behind his charming smile.
B A C K S T O R Y:
Yoji Lara Celestino is a Japanese-Cuban American. He was born and raised in Miami, Florida, the only son of Yuriokis and Kamiko Celestino. His parents immigrated from Cuba in their early twenties. The couple stayed with Kamiko's brother, Hanjiro Inoue. They helped out with his food truck business called Entre Dos Islas (Between Two Islands), and worked extra jobs on the side to stay afloat. By the time Yoji was twenty, Hanjiro decided to expand Entre Dos Islas to the west coast in Sol city, handing the current business in Miami over to Yojiโs parents.
Things were going well for the Celestinos. Business was booming, and Yoji just qualified for the US Olympic boxing team after years of hard work in the amateurs. Then, on the eve of Yuriokis and Kamiko's anniversary, Hanjiro told them over the phone that he wouldn't be able to attend the celebration. He revealed that he had thyroid cancer, and would start his first rounds of chemo very soon. Yoji and his parents all agreed that he needed help. There was no way Yoji would let him go through something like that alone. โHappyโ Hanjiro meant the world to him.
Without hesitation, Yoji left everything behind and took a greyhound to Sol city. His father and Uncle were against the move. They both wanted him to compete in the olympics, but Yoji knew it was the only way. Neither one of his parents were fit for the stress of not only taking care of Hanjiro, but also running the business in Sol, especially when they needed to keep the Miami location running. He figured thereโd always be another chance to try out in the future. Some things just took precedent over others, and taking care of family was one of those things.
Six months since his move to Sol, Yoji helps run the food truck while assisting Uncle Hanjiro with his recovery. Heโs also taking on a couple of side jobs to help pay for his medical expenses, as well as a few other loan debts piling up. Yoji finds solace in creativity, often decompressing from the stressful grind by sculpting, or dabbling in photography. While he sees himself inheriting the family business, he's also passionate about creating art, and possibly trying out for the olympics again. The future feels uncertain as heโs torn between fulfilling family obligations, and doing what he loves. For now, he's taking it one day at a time, focusing solely on Uncle Hanjiro and his health.

*Note: Picture above is a general reference to its overall aesthetic. It still runs as a truck with wheels, and isnโt stationary like how itโs shone in the image. The vehicle is a remodeled armored bank truck. It has two large side panels that can drop down, serving as dining platforms, though one side is usually reserved for to-go orders. The banners on the roof of course have the name, Entre Dos Islas, instead of Food Truck Menu, with silhouettes of the Japanese-Cuban cuisines they have on the menu. The loud speakers are usually playing lofi, or other types of relaxing and upbeat instrumentals.

Zodiac Sign: Scorpio
Special Talent: Taught herself how to count cards in Blackjack
Profession: Deputy US Marshall, newly assigned to Sol City District
Bio/Personality: Paige comes from a stone-cold conservative family from Delta City in Central Florida. Her father being a minister and her mother a lawyer and a judge, she was imprinted with an immense sense of morality since she was old enough to comprehend the meaning of discipline. To her the value of oneโs word is akin to a blood oath even to the most trivial of arrangements: Give her a statement and she expects the truth. Make an appointment and you damn well better show up on time. She takes her job extremely seriously, but has mellowed some in her years of experience- a sharp edge that has been weathered to deal with the streets. She's learned how to deftly walk the lines between justice, proof and truth knowing the difference in being a law-enforcement officer and lawman (or woman).
Currently, Paige finds herself transferred to the Sol City district where a combined effort between Customs, ATF and the Marshal Service are being prepared for a large operation to counter the importation of drugs and weapons into the city. Paige was selected as she recently participated in an ongoing identical operation in her Florida home district. However, her transfer was amid some controversy. After lengthy investigations and multiple arrests, Paige shot dead a well-connected weapons dealer in a sting operation. A man that could have provided further information to aid in the operation were he allowed to be interrogated. He was known to have participated and set up multiple hits against officers and witnesses alike as well as being point on multiple overseas weapons deals. While many were privately happy to hear of his termination, it was decided that Paige had to be transferred rather than punished. Sol City was a natural choice.
The exact details of the encounter are known by Paige alone as she encountered the man without backup. In her testimony of the events, she simply stated that he pulled a gun on her and she fired in self-defense. There were no witnesses.
Paige in Chapter One:
Paige entered Sol City on a quiet Wednesday night after a long flight in from her hometown of Delta City, Florida as part of a Federal taskforce reluctantly brought in by Sol's mayor to clean up the growing criminal enterprises in the city. The night of her arrival proved to be the only quiet night for Sol City since her landing as she proceeded to deftly hand out her near vigilante form of law-enforcement towards the more unscrupulous residents. In her brief time in Sol she has made serious waves in the underground taking down sleazy members of Sol's most notorious gang, the infamous (and richly protected) Jazz Night attacker and the mafia gun dealer, Jackie Costa.
However, Paige's growing relationship with her former friend turned enemy, Milo Ventri, has been the focus of her private life since their tense reunion at the Winter Party. Her initial disdain for him turned slowly as she discovered his unsettling connections with a Detroit-based mob racket that nearly cost him his life. With Paige's help, Milo was able to break from the hold of the mob and in doing so the two began feeling a growing sense of belonging to one another in spite of their past and shared relationship with Milo's former love, Ana Harlow.
Milo's freedom came at high cost though. In the days following her capture of Jackie Costa, a mob assassin nearly killed Paige in her apartment leaving her badly beaten before she managed to dispatch him. Chapter One of Sol City ended with Paige in Sol Memorial Hospital recovering from her injuries. In Chapter Two, Paige will be back on the streets with her own score to settle against those that came after her and anyone else that gets in her way.
Paige in Chapter Two:
Paige was not long out her recovery from Chapter One before she was again unmercifully harassing the criminal elements of Sol City. Her survival from the mob ordered attempt on her life only served to intensify her reputation for ruthlessness and being willing to bend the law to suit her objectives. She immediately picked up where she left off in her takedown of the Giancana crime racket that had slowly began to take hold of Sol Cityโs criminal enterprises. With the help of a misfit computer hacker and an unlikely ally from within the racket itself, Paige began uncovering a lucrative plot against Solโs valuable Run district real estate.
The only limiting factors on her aggression came from her best friend, Siobhan Murphy and ironically, her growing romantic relationship with Milo Ventri. With her seemingly insatiable desire to torment Solโs criminal elements,Paige often found herself tempted towards total vigilantism drawing comments from many on the other side of the law, that she would be incredibly dangerous as a criminal herself. However, the grounding presence of Sio and her feelings for Milo often kept her from going too far. With Siobhan, she feels much like her younger self, before her career took such a dark turn and with Milo, Paige finds a part of herself that has been locked away behind her profession for many years.
During the excitement of the Chapter Two finale, Paige was in the midst of the downtown confusion chasing a lead that she thought would blow the entire Giancana racket out of the water, however the chaotic events of the day turned out to be nothing more than a clever diversion that she has only partially uncovered throughout the time between Chapters Two and Three.
As Chapter Three unfolds, Paige finds the cityโs dark side to have gone quiet, either out of fear or out of the placement of a new order in the criminal world, or possibly both. At the same time she feels ever more bonded to Milo though she knows the the closer she allows anyone to get to her, the more that closeness becomes dangerous.
Much like her mother, Manami has very dark hair that hangs a little past her shoulders. She wears it in all kinds of styles though prefers it down, she hates taking the time to make it look fancy. Naturally Manami's eyes are grey though depending on what she's wearing they can appear a light shade of violet or a light pink - though this could also be caused by the contacts she wears. Her wardrobe changes everyday, while she only wants to parade the house in a t-shirt and jeans she always buy the latest fashions, she often will only wears clothes once in order to make sure people see them in her photo's. Instead of throwing that clothing out though she will either offer it to the people close to her or donate it to woman shelters or thrift shops in her area. Her skin is quite pale, though that seems to just attract people and make her "Asianess" stand out more. Manami has a strict face-care routine that she sticks to in order to keep her face so clear.
Five feet, four inches
135 Pounds
โฅ Reading mystery/thriller books โฅ Playing her favorite video game series; Final Fantasy โฅ Sushi, specifically any that is fried โฅ Coffee with lots of cream and sugar โฅ Music that isn't mainstream and isn't played on the radio a million times โฅ Sloths
โฅ Pretending to be someone she's not โฅ Dressing up in frilly outfits โฅ Heels โฅ The feeling of a face full of make-up โฅ Bitter or sour foods โฅ Naked cats
Ironically Manami seems to be a natural at photography, which is probably why her Instagram is so well liked. Though she is also quite good at editing the photo's she takes, she has taken a lot of time to teach herself how to use programs such as Photoshop and other editing software.
Manami is an Instagram model, a well known one at that. She make enough money to sustain herself comfortably. On top of that she models for several companies. Though before that she wanted to be a graphic designer, part of her still wants that. She wants to make advertisements and logos that will draw people to a business or place, creations that will cause people to talk about her talent and not her looks.
To the world/Social Media; Manami is a very confident girl, she's not afraid to show off what she has, though she's humble about it. While she may seem stuck-up like many Instagram models Manami is a very down-to-earth kind of person, she always seems to offer the best advice on both life and fashion. She somehow is able to keep herself out of the drama that comes with being popular on social media and chooses not to comment on the drama that is going on. Even in her other en-devours Manami oozes that same confidence, this causes her to get quite a lot of offers for magazines and small commercials. In Reality; When not taking pictures or in front of a camera Manami is very self-conscious, she constantly feels like she can't live up to the expectations her parents have of her. Unlike the personality she shows for the camera she is quiet and prefer to keep to herself. Instead of going out partying she stay's home and watches her favorite shows, reads her favorite books or plays her favorite video games. She feels like she can't be herself unless she is in the comfort of her own home or around her close friends, and there aren't very many of those. The stress her parents put on her doesn't help with this at all.
In general Manami has to act two different ways, happy and confident for those who are paying attention to her and then her true self when she's not in the spotlight. This puts a lot of stress on her and it's becoming increasingly more difficult to continue with the charade, she finds herself exhausted and out of energy all the time. She doesn't tell her family or friends this, instead she puts on a smile and acts like everything is all fine and dandy. She constantly worries that she'll break at some point, or that she'll slip up somewhere and the fake she created will come tumbling down.
Manami was born in Osaka, Japan to Haru Takahashi and Akemi Takahashi. The family didn't stay in Japan for very long and moved to SOL city in America, they wanted a better life than the one they had. They thought moving to America would allow their daughter to live happily. From a young age it was obvious that Manami was a looker, people constantly siad "what a pretty baby" or "Why is your toddler prettier than me?" Her parents saw this and looked into possibly getting Manami in modelling, it didn't take long for her to be plastered all over children's ads for various things. At first her parents used the money to pay for bills and put the rest in a fund for her, but just like many people the temptation became too great and they got greedy. Soon what started out as something simple turned into something more ugly.
Manami was groomed and raised to look beautiful and to act as fake as she can while in front of a camera. Her parents drilled into her that she needed to act and be a certain way over and over into her head until she felt like she wasn't herself anymore. Manami wasn't able to go to school like a normal child, instead her mother home schooled her while she slowly built her modelling career. They were so hung up on the money and career she had at such a young age that they bragged to everyone, saying how proud they were to have such a daughter. This built of the fear she had of disappointing them and Manami began to hide how she really was.
When she turned nineteen and got her highschool degree Manami had enough money to live on her own, so that's what she did. Living with her parents made her constantly stressed and while they protested her living on her own they couldn't stop her either. Once by herself Manami felt like she could be herself for a little bit, though she still felt like she had to maintain the lifestyle she had built. Instagram, the modelling all the exposure. In order to keep herself looking slim she had to stick to diets and workouts that she hated. She had to keep a strict skin-care routine that took up way too much time, spent money on clothes that she didn't even want to wear.
Manami want's to stop but she's afraid of her parents reaction, that they are so obsessed with the money she gives them that they would abandon her. She already has little to no real friends and doesn't think she could handle that sort of loss. She also doesn't know what her fans would do either, they could completely bash her and start stuff that could potentially ruin protective careers for her. She'll break eventually, and it won't be good. In order to keep some sort of sanity Manami plays games such as DnD and Final Fantasy in order to escape the life she's living, to be someone else entirely. Someone she wishes she could be.
Haru Takahash and Akemi Takahashii; Manami's father and mother. They had Manami when they were in their late twenties. They met coincidentally and truly loved each other, not caring that neither had much money when marrying. They moved to America from Osaka, Japan to try and have a better life. Luckily Haru landed a job in Sol City and with their daughter modelling from childhood they made more than enough money. Greed is strong and like with most people it took over Manami's parents. Even now much of Manami's money goes towards keeping her parents lavish lifestyle afloat, if they didn't have her money they would be poor and broken people. They seem to realize this and often guilt trip her, saying that it was her responsibility to take care of them, that they were so proud of her. Manami feels like she can't betray them.
Momo The Tuxedo Cat; Manami found Momo on the street, starving. She took the cat in when he was only a kitten and since then the two have been the best of friends.

Bio/Personality:
Born in the Philippine Islands, Clifford was quickly enthralled in religious studies after his grandmother tried her best to turn him into a priest. However, as Clifford grew up, he realized that the priestly life was not for him. Enjoying his time as a volunteer teacher in a distant community, the lad wanted a path where he could devote his interest to religious life as well as a career of teaching. The answer came from the Fratres Scholarum Christianarum or the FSC Brothers. He quickly applied to become an aspirant in the organization, and after taking his vows as an Aspirant (though not a fully-fledged member), Clifford undertook his studies seriously. After obtaining his master's degree in Education as well as a Doctorate in Arts with a major in Literature, he was ready to be deployed by the FSC to other countries in order to teach in their partner universities.
For the most part, Clifford does enjoy his life as both a teacher and a religious brother. Largely social and friendly, he also enjoys the company of others who he would often treat to food as he is quite financially stable (since he not only gets his salary from the university but also a stipend from the FSC Brothers). However, if there's something that Clifford tries to follow is the act of not getting too attached to anyone. He does his best not to establish deep-rooted friendships, especially, romantic attachments since he was assigned to Sol City for a mere six-month period before he might be reassigned to another place. Not to mention that he did take the religious vows of celibacy. As such, while Clifford is extremely friendly and welcoming, once he feels that a deeper relationship had begun to form, a noticeable backing away can be felt from him.
Clifford had a particular fondness for literature, especially, mythology. He tends to babble on and on and on, droning about myths and legends from different parts of the world for hours if no one stops him. This love for the arts does help him out as a teacher/lecturer, allowing him to inject his passion into his profession.
Even though he is of a religious order, Clifford doesn't really proselytize to others. He rarely talks about his own religion and faith, preferring to keep it personal with no intention to dictate how others should live. Does this personality make him problematic for the brothers? Definitely.
He had arrived recently, just around two weeks, in Sol City as a lecturer in the university where he will be assessed from time to time by the Brothers' president to determine whether he is set for higher positions. Deep inside, Clifford longs to become the president of their organization, but he would need to put his best foot forward to make it happen.

Name: Alison 'Ali' Granger Age: 21 Sex: Female Height: 5'4 Weight: 119 lbs Zodiac Sign: Leo Special Talent: Singing Profession: Waitress at the Old Starboard Likes: ~ Animals and nature ~ Singing and playing instruments ~ Plays and musicals ~ Yoga and meditation ~ Seafood, all-you-can-eat buffets ~ The rain Dislikes: ~ The musical 'Cats' ~ Cockroaches ~ Pretentious, stuck-up people ~ Close-minded people (racists, sexists, and the like) ~ Hot and damp places ~ The dark Personality: Alison is a very free-spirited and bubbly individual. She is always curious about anything and everything, and she will also strike a conversation with anyone if she wants to. Although, one can say that Alison is an introvert masquerading as an extrovert, and she does enjoy her alone times. She loves music, and is often humming or tapping along to a music stuck in her head. She often times doesn't care about what people think of her, especially if it is about doing what she loves or what she thinks is right. She's a very sentimental and transparent gal who wears her heart on her sleeve. Mostly though, Alison just keeps to herself. She also LOVES singing, and if left undisturbed, she may launch into a full on dance-and-singing performance until someone snaps her back to reality.
Bio: Alison Granger was born and raised in Bayonne, France. Her parents were not strangers to the field of music, her mother being a jazz singer and her father a classical violinist. She's the youngest of three, and her parents would expose her and her older brothers to their fields of work. They often ate at the cafe Allie's mom sang at, while they always got free admission tickets to all of her father's concerts. As children, their parents let them decide on what they wanted to pursue in life, what they wanted to become in the future. They let them explore and try out different things to suit their interests, and their parents did their best to support and aid them in their dreams and ideals, provided that they finished college first. After that, they could venture out to the world on their own.
Ali's eldest brother made a music school for the poor at Bayonne, where he and his peers gave out free music lessons in singing and playing instruments at the park, welcoming any children and even adults in the lower class. His school has become a huge success overtime, and every children at Nice dedicated their love and passion for music to him. Her other older brother, meanwhile, competed in many dance competitions and was even made famous online for his very hip and cool dance moves. He's earning lots of money now as he's a dance instructor for A-list performers and celebrities in Hollywood.
Alison... well, she's a singer and a waitress at the Lighthouse at Sol City. Not that there's nothing wrong with it but she couldn't help but feel insecure about the success of her two brothers. Truth be told, she hasn't had a dream of her own yet. She has this fear in her mind and heart that she will be a disgrace to her family if she didn't end up just as successful as her parents and brothers, even though she knows in her heart her family loves her deeply. Her family would always say encouraging words to her on how she's making them proud that she's still working hard despite that. Alison keeps reminding herself that she will have a dream of her own someday, and she hopes on finding it here at Sol City.

Detailed Information
Lizette is a naturally friendly person, always attempting to get in good with others. She's relatively flexible, adapting to new people and their personalities with ease. She's a motherly figure, acting as a source of advice with her friends when they ask for it. She's very blunt with the advice she gives, especially if she feels she's right about a certain topic. She's extremely passionate about things she's interested in, for example, music. Of course, since she writes her own music and takes care of herself, she's rather self-critical. She's her toughest critic, by far. When she was a child, she got irritated quickly and was fast to anger. Lately, though, she mellows out just as quickly.
Lizette is the second of two children, born exactly two years after her brother, Byron. Brought up in Reno, Nevada, Lizette has always had her eyes on something brighter than the Silver State. Her early life was full of strife, however, and those dreams seemed almost unachievable. After her father left her family when she was seven, her mother was forced to provide for two children on her own. She worked extensive shifts, leaving Lizette and her older brother at home either alone, or with the cheapest babysitter available. Her mother came back after long days and went straight to sleep, only really interacting with her kids in the morning before they had to make the trek to school, and before her first shift started. Lizette took up the maternal role in her brother's life before long, and he fulfilled the role as protector. They were extremely close, and often got into fights with other kids when they felt the other was being slighted. This lead to quite a few disciplinary referrals, but her mother never went to the principal's office to dispute them.
Lizette discovered her passion for singing at a young age. She took after their babysitter, who was in the high school's choir. Whenever the babysitter came over, Lizette begged her to sing, so she could mimic it as soon as she left. As soon as she was able, Liz joined her middle school's choir, training her voice. She was never able to go on trips with the rest of the choir, but she attended every performance despite the fact that her mother was never around.
Lizette joined the workforce as soon as she turned sixteen, just like her brother. Her money went to the bills or her own personal savings, but at times she dipped into them in order to get something she wanted. Knowing she didn't have enough money to afford college, she fought to keep her grades up and get a scholarship. By the time she graduated high school, she had a scholarship to Solaris Universatas, due to her talent in choir, her 'rough upbringing', and her 'ability to excel despite hardships'. Accepting the pity prize was tough for her, but after being convinced by her brother, she packed up her things and went to Sol City, where she has been studying ever since.
Small Group or Social Butterfly: I consider myself pretty open to anything, and enjoying working with multiple characters. That being said, I'll usually stick with one interaction at a time. If that includes multiple PCs, great, if not, also great. 3
Unlike the majority of her family, Hoon was born with a more brownish colour hair instead of black that she keeps it short and without style most of the time. Her eyes are nothing extraordinary, just a light brown that can be quite beguiling up close but that does not really count for much. Outfit wise, Hoon only ever wears something nice when she has to, but most trips to go grocery shopping are whatever she grabs first from the closet that are comfortable. She's like a snowman She's a bit on the paler side of things which she probably got from her mother. The only other thing is, Aria has a face care routine that she really likes and the only thing that she will go out of her way to do.

Special Talent:
Though her singing voice isn't as great, she's quite good with most instruments, which can be from string to wind in seconds.
She's also extremely good at baseball.
Personality:
Aria is actually a really fun person to be around with once she's had a smoke. Always excited to do something whenever the opportunity presents itself, even willing to do the riskiest of things just to have a good time. Although, when she's alone, that's when reality kicks in her for her, that sudden contrast in personality as she feels more sad and hates the world more and more, when people find out about this side of her, they do their best to break ties with her since they do not want to deal with that. Besides all this, music is her passion, which means when she's neither of the aforementioned personalities, she's recording covers of songs or sometimes even making her own. Catching Aria in her music making sessions is the best way to show Aria's true self, which true friends need to experience and she'll most likely invite to once she's deemed someone close enough. Even if her methods are a bit odd and her lifestyle could be questionable, she does it all in the good of her heart, she just wants to be like everyone else after all. Or... So she thinks, she actually will be herself the most.
Biography:
Born in Ulsan, South Korea with an English father and Korean mother. This family jumped in moving countries multiple times, staying a few years in South Korea and in London, before settling in to SOL city in America when they were offered a nice house by her father's company to move there. When Hoon was young she was always a bit of a trouble maker, causing some ruckus with the other kids in the neighbourhood just to have a laugh. In the end people caught on and they weren't happy which lead to discipline.
Growing up, Aria kept her trouble making to a low and only doing dumb and silly thins when she knows she isn't going to get caught. Until one day, she ended up crashing the one of the family's cars in a ditch and totalling the front side to hell and back. Of course this meant scolding, grounding, and any other punishment a parent could give to a silly 18 year old. Her father then went to go fix her problems and drove off to get the car repaired, and on that drive her father died in an awful car accident. For years, Aria would always blame herself for her father's death, even if it wasn't.
She graduated high school with honours despite all the sadness she's put on her shoulders. When her mum started dating, she was in the first year of college for culinary arts, and the more she dated the person who was about to be her step-dad the more she hated life and didn't care about school. She ended up at getting expelled for a number of reasons on her second year of college. Since she was no longer in school, she got herself a job as a waitress at The Old Starboard which later down the line she became the assistant chef in. She also got into a music competition online and ended up winning enough cash for her to move in a descent apartment away from her step-douche. Her and the step-dad didn't really get along no matter how much the step dad wanted to, but in the end she requested the best thing he can do is send her money to pay rent every now and then, which he agreed to.
Now living alone in an apartment, she didn't know what her ambitions are anymore and would just live life as it presents itself. She would visit her mum every now and then, and sometimes the wreck of her father's car in the junkyard which just makes her even more sad. Maybe it will all get better soon, that's what she hopes for, she live long enough to see that... Right?
Appearance: Kohl has a lean body type, his taller than average height helping him to slim down more. Kohl has black hair that falls unkemptly on his head. His eyes have a greyish color while having bags under them causing him to look tired all the time. Kohl could be classified as a fine-looking fellow but is hindered by the disheveled way he carries himself. Also bearing small scars and the occasional road rash located around his body from skateboarding.
Dislikes: Hospitals Self-righteous, Self-Centered people Bad vibes Ketchup
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio
Special Talent: Skateboarding
Profession: Small time professional skateboarder
Bio/Personality: Kohl is a free-spirited individual, finding enjoyment in the littlest of things he never seems to be in a bad mood. Often caught daydreaming with his head in the clouds, Kohl rarely pays attention to things he has little interest in. While on the other hand, things that do interest Kohl he chases with a passion. He has a very go with the flow, go wherever the wind takes me attitude. Although he is very gullible and easily persuadable. Kohl always tries to see the good in every person he comes across which can lead him to be easily manipulated out of things/for things.
Kohl grew up with his single mother Kari just outside of Sol City. Never knowing who his dad was, and judging by the way his mother reacted when he was brought up, he didn't want to know. Skateboarding had come very early in his life, his mother Kari had gifted him a very cheap pre-owned skateboard she bought at the flea market when he was only 9. Ever since that fateful day, Kohl would ride on his skateboard wherever he could. Starting very new too skateboarding was very rough, basically having to learn everything by himself he pushed through all the slams. This went on for years, but with every fall he had it only made him come back twice as hard. Eventually, through all his trials and tribulations he became amazing at skating. Impressing his friends at school, and even some of the bigger kids at the skate park when his mom would take him. His second passion in life had come much later. Cleaning out a closet in his house Kohl found his moms old Polaroid camera. Kari had pulled it out on occasion to take pictures with it for birthdays and such and as time went on, however, his mother neglected to pull out the camera during these events. The camera stayed in the closet for years, until Kohl around the age of 15 found it. At first, just messing around with the camera taking stupid pictures of things around the house he realized what potential the art of Photography could bring. His mind raced with the possibilities he had at his fingertips, and from that day on forth Kohl almost always had his two passions on him at all times. A skateboard and a camera.
Passing throughout high school and not taking it as seriously as he should've, Kohl oftentimes cut class short to go skateboard or take pictures. At the end of high school, Kohl finished with below-average grades. Deciding that University would be a waste of time, money and resources he opted to join the work-force. Starting as a busboy down at a local restaurant, Kohl knew this wasn't going to last him long term. People around him would always tell him how great he was at skateboarding but he never realized it himself until he started to enter into some small-sized skateboard tournaments around the city. Winning most, if not all of the tournaments that he attended got Kohl noticed by local skate shops from around the city. One skate shop, in particular, opted to sponsor him outright. It was simple, he rode their boards and wore their gear when he skated around the city, and in future tournaments, he would be paid. Kohl agreed to the terms and although the small skate shop didn't pay him too well Kohl knew what he wanted to do with his life.
*Your age: 22 *What part of the world are you from?: US of A *How many years have you been writing/roleplaying: About 3-4 years on and off again. *How often do you have time to post?: A couple of times a week. Potentially more, if I need too or if free time shows up. *Anything else you want to mention? What do you do for a living? How much do you work a week? What do you enjoy doing besides writing? Put as much as you want. Player Interaction Scale: I would say about a 3-4, I love posting solo/small group posts being as that's what I've mainly done the majority of my RP's. I am also up for anything though, love interacting with the different characters the come throughout the story. Although if there are about 17 people I have to respond to in a single post, it could get a little overwhelming I suppose.
Tao is an average looking guy, at least in his opinion. He is average in height and weight. He has blackish/brown hair that he wears a little long, long enough that is hands close to his eyes. His eyes almost match his hair, though if one looks close enough they could see that the darkness is simply a deep emerald color. His skin is an olive/ivory color, during the summer it gets darker as he likes to be outside quite a bit. His wardrobe does vary, though it always stays in the realm of "Casual" and "Comfortable".
Five feet, Seven inches
156 pounds
โ Taking apart computers/electronics and seeing what makes them tick โ Sitting around all day without a care in the world โ Getting a challenging opponent when hacking โ Hacking into complicated systems and not getting caught โ All the sweets
โ Bitter/spicy foods โ Being bothered by people โ Running/Exercising โ Cats โ Jocks/Idiots
Tao's special talent is that he is a genius when it comes to computers, so much so that he has an incredible ability to hack into even the most complicated of networks or systems. His love of computers started when he was young and ever since he has loved them and knowing how they work, on top of that he loves knowing that he can hack into almost any system and not get caught.
Works at Nova Wave Cafe. Also does freelance hacking, does not advertise himself and only accepts jobs from people he can trust.
To most people Tao comes off as lazy, nonchalant and uncaring. He hates doing any physical labor and if made to do so will often complain the whole time. He's a bit awkward and usually doesn't know how to hold his tongue, there have been many times when Tao has offended people and simply doesn't care, he feels like if they can't handle what he has to say then there is no reason for them to be interacting with him. The boy would much rather be lazing about on the couch reading a book or playing some game than working, though like any adult he does have bills to pay. For the few that actually know Tao they know he just feels like most people are inferior to him, he is incredibly smart and actually hates it, all his life he's been deemed a "prodigy" and feels like his brains are the only reason people any attention to him. Perhaps that's what led Tao to follow his love for hacking and skirting around the law. He feels a thrill and excitement knowing that the can't find him.
Tao was born in Sol city. His mother is Namjoo Jang and his father is Geun Jang, both have wall-standing jobs. His mother works at Sol Memorial Medical Center as one of the lead heart surgeons while his father works at Solaris Universatas as a History professor, many people say that it's no surprise that Tao came out as smart as he did. From a very young age it was apparent that Tao wasn't like normal children, his motor and speech skills developed much faster, as did other things. In his early school years Tao loved that he was smarter than everyone else, he never needed to study and he was able to easily remember things. His classmates also seemed to admire him, at least that is until he entered high school.
Tao quickly realized that people were beginning to only be friends with to use him. They wanted to copy off his homework, or pay him to do their homework. They always asked to hang out at his house since it was nicer, he was never invited to anyone else's. Once he noticed Tao quickly decided that he didn't want to be so smart if it meant he wouldn't have any real friends, that he would be alone because no one was honest with him. He became a cold and rude person and his classmates soon stopped asking things from him. While Tao was glad they had stopped he suddenly felt lonely, there was no one for him to talk with. Neither of his parents were home and his two oldest siblings hated him because their parents favored Tao. This continued all the way till after he had graduated, and soon that cold and uncaring personality became ingrained in Tao, it was who he was now.
Around the end of his senior year Tao discovered what hacking was like, and he absolutely loved it. The thrill of hacking into a high-tech, complicated important system was amazing. He knew it was illegal but he didn't care, in fact that aspect only seemed to make him enjoy it even more. Slowly Tao began to take jobs from people, very important and rich people. He never advertised himself so he wasn't sure how these people found out, but the money they offered was something he couldn't pass up. Now Tao does jobs from some powerful, yet dangerous people, however only small things. Tao has yet to come across anything that would put him on the big time radar - though maybe that isn't so far off.
Namjoo Jang and Geun Jang; Namjoo and Geun met in Korea, though they eventually moved to America and settled in Sol after Namjoo got a job at the hospital. Tao and his two older siblings were born in Sol and were raised there. His mother and father work a lot, his mother pulling long overnight shifts while his father practically lives at the university, why he still doesn't know. Because his parents are gone so often Tao feels indifferent to them, he feels like they aren't really parents. Even when they are home nothing changes, they keep to themselves and don't act like a mother and father should.
Yebin Jang and Hyuk Jang; Yebin and Hyuk are Tao's older siblings. Yebin is 26 while Hyuk is 27, both live on their own and often choose not to come to the house. Just like Tao their parents were absent for a good portion of their lives and they feel no attachment to the family house or family in general. Yebin has an issue with spending money and often begs their father for more while Hyuk is a hard drug user, both of them are seen as a "disgrace" by their parents and are often ignored. Because of this they very much dislike Tao, as the golden child they resent him for getting their parents favor.
Dislikes: Bullies Mean People Bad Drivers Waiting Entitled People Bad Hygiene
Zodiac Sign: Capricorn (January 9th)
Special Talent: Cooking
Profession: Chef and Bartender at a Hole in the wall bar and grill
Bio/Personality: Very friendly and driven. Known as the Lovable Loser, Charles was raised by a single mother who was the world to him, and instilled his love of cooking in him early on. His life was full of bullying because of the way he talked and his size, always being overweight. Growing up he was typically that guy who gets friend-zoned despite his best efforts to get dates even through college rarely getting dates and many of them being pity dates. Even in the present day he is unlucky in love, always getting friend zoned. Spends a majority of his time outside the restaurant creating different cocktails and dishes to add to the menu, when not working off the clock for the restaurant he is watching TV and listening to music or painting model cars and plains or rc cars.
Feeling fresh ingredients make the difference Charles felt it necessary to grow most the produce for his restaurant, making all the sauces from scratch and a fair majority of the alcohol at the bar being made by him including the house rum, whiskey, beer and wine. The aesthetic of the restaurant is that of a dive bar with a focus on upscale bar food including okonomiyaki, cheesesteaks, nachos and burgers.

ใ๐๐ฒ๐ธ/๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ๐ธ๐ท๐ช๐ต๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ใ Ryan, or Satoshi if you really want, was born in Japan to American parents who held business interests in the country. Growing up, he was always the nail that stuck out. Blonde hair, different complexion, different physical attributes. He never really quite fit in. He developed a love for sports and the outdoors through his formative years, participating in various different clubs and teams. As he aged, the social stigma of being a foreigner slowly faded as he made friends through school. One of his parent's business interests was a sushi restaurant. After school and club activities, he can be found in the restaurant, apprenticing.
Around the time he finished his post-secondary education, his parents decided to retire and move back to the United States, deciding to settle in Sol City. Being raised bilingual, the language part of fitting back in was not a problem. The cultural adjustments were slightly harder. However, being on the Pacific Northwest, his love for the outdoors and fresh seafood was satisfied. With a small loan from his parents, he decided to open his own restaurant, serving traditional Edo-style sushi.
