Santiago stands at five feet nine inches tall. He is a strong, lean man in his earlier years of adulthood.
Name: Santiago Moreno
Nickname: N/A
Age: 24

Place of Birth: Bogota, Columbia
Family: Juan Moreno (Father), Maria Moreno (Mother), Sandra Sanchez (Sister), Diego Moreno (Brother) - All living in Columbia
Occupation: Security Contractor (Taking both legal and illegal job offers); Ex-member of FARC

Personality: Santiago's personality has been heavily influenced by his dramatic and violent childhood. On the outside, Santiago seems to be perfectly normal. He has a charismatic smile and swagger to his walk. Santiago acts as if he cares when someone decides to tell them something personal, and he can convince the average numb skull to do what he wants most of the time. But that Santiago is only a single side of the coin. On the other side, Santiago is a rage filled, violent man. His outbursts will always leave something broken, and anyone with Santiago when one of these outbursts occurs is in severe danger. While many believe Santiago to have bi-polar disorder, they don't dare tell him upfront. The intelligent ones don't speak of the subject at all.

Mister Moreno, despite his emotional flaws, possesses a sharp mind. When he can’t talk or beat his way out of a situation, Santiago will sober up and start to use the natural intelligence he was gifted at birth. When he decides to actually put this mind of his to work, Santiago can be a force to be reckoned with. The only problem is getting him to actually think. Usually, Santiago’s tactical mind kicks in when the bullets or punches start to fly. On a rare occasion, Santiago will decide to do something extraordinary in the face of an overwhelming problem. Most of the time, he’ll usually decide just to hit something and yell until something changes or he has to change things himself.

History: Santiago was conceived in a time of war and a place of destruction. This place was Columbia, during an increase in FARC activity, especially against civilians. His family did their best to avoid the civil war, and it worked for awhile. But when Santiago was eleven years old, the Moreno family had been pulled into the war as well. Santiago and his brother were kidnapped by the FARC and forced to join their ranks, threatening to kill their families if they didn’t. So the brothers took up arms in a battle they didn’t wish to fight. Being children, the two boys had it impossibly hard during training. Their immature muscles were forced to work over time to keep up. There had been times Santiago had contemplated taking his own life and taking his chances with the afterlife, but Diego had helped his brother through the mess. A few months away from his twelfth birthday, Santiago and his brothers were officially deployed under the FARC flag against the Colombian Liberation Army.

The two of them gained knowledge of war that would have drove most children to insanity. But they fought through it, for the sakes of their family. Santiago mastered the ways of warfare in the jungles of South America and the ruined streets of burnt out cities. Most of it was a complete blur for Santiago. Something he never thought about, as if it had happened to some other person and not himself. But there was one day that stuck out in Santiago’s mind like it had happened the day before. The first day Santiago had been ordered to fire on civilians. Every bone in Santiago’s body told him to turn and run; to drop the gun in his hands. Anything but what he was ordered to do. But he pulled the trigger, and gunned the terrified people down. That was the day Santiago changed into the monster he is today.

Eventually, the two brothers were set free and allowed to return to their family. Santiago had been seventeen when they arrived back at home and were greeted by crying family members. The mixture of joy and sadness that had overwhelmed them all that day finally ended, and they decided to take the next logical step. The Moreno’s moved to the United States to escape the war. They had moved to Topeka, Kansas, to live quiet suburban lives. But Santiago couldn't hold down a normal job for a month before he tried looking for work that better suited him. He found himself employment in a private security company working in The Circuit. The first few jobs were rather dull bodyguard work at private corporations who were a bit too paranoid. Then Santiago started to participate in less legal work. He began to work as a hired gun for big time mob bosses and corporations working under the table. This work brought in a significant amount of income for Santiago, and he spent it wisely and took private schooling classes. Nothing unnecessary or advanced, only the basic things he needed to look like less of a meat head.

One particular job landed Santiago in Justice, CA. The moment he entered the city Santiago knew this was his kind of place. There was always going to be work to do, what with the city being a breeding ground for criminals and the police needing every hand on deck. So he decided to move to Justice permanently.

Cast Status: Main
Extra: Santiago is currently unemployed, searching for work.

[Little Fox]

Name
Keela Annabelle Hutchinson

Nickname
Lala, Keke, Anna, Belle, Kah, and The Hutchinson Family Treasure.

Age
16 going on 17.

Place of Birth
London, England

Family
Molly Hutchinson (Mother)
Sydney Hutchinson (Father – Deceased)
Patrick Hutchinson (Brother)
Bartholomew Hutchinson (Brother)
Ian Hutchinson (Brother)
Olivia Hutchinson (Sister)
Liam Hutchinson-Moyer (Son)
Oliver Moyer (Fiance)

Occupation
Mother, tattoo artist, photographer, cinematographer, and dance instructor/competitor.

Personality
Let's start with the good, right? Well, if people know the Hutchinsons (Particularly her father, sister, and brothers), they find it hard to believe that she's from the brood. She's always got a smile on her face and enjoys life as a whole. It doesn't matter who you come across, everyone will describe Kah pretty much the same as the others; She's very sweet and nurturing but a very free and independent spirit that craves what life has to offer. The girl has a spirit that can't be tamed. She doesn't like when people treat her like she's still a child or tries to make executive decisions for her life. She will fight back if she feels uncomfortable or frustrated.

Speaking of fighting, that's where the Hutchinson side of her begins to show. She tends to start with a passive aggressive attitude towards her aggressor, but she can easily be pushed into a hyper-aggressive state if the stress or irritation is there. She's a huge advocate for self-expression, especially through various art forms. She's always on about which tattoo she's going to get next and keeps various books filled with drawings and tattoo ideas. One thing you'll hardly see her without is her laptop, phone, camera, and video camera. She's forever interviewing people, just following them with a camera, photographing things, or concocting ideas for her next film project. A lot of her films are art related; She loves making documentaries on dance and art history.

Keela is just this...bubbly person full of energy. She rarely ever sleeps and seems to run just fine even so, often scolded by her friends and family that she needs to sleep more often. It's almost as though she's like a child, worried that as soon as she goes to sleep all of the good stuff will happen. She's a total sweetheart, this girl. Just don't make her mad.

History
Seventeen years ago, Keela Annabelle Hutchinson was born to Molly and Sydney Hutchinson in a large home on the outskirts of London. Her father wasn't around much though. Mostly because her eldest brother killed him three months after she was born. According to her siblings, even in those first three months he didn't want much to do with her. It was her brothers Patrick, Barry, and Ian that aided their mother in raising her. She came to look at them as fathers more than brothers, even to this day often addressing and introducing them as such. She was a rather pampered child, having ten siblings and a mother to constantly dote on her. So, her childhood was pretty normal for a child born in the upper class. But her life wasn't as much the fairytale that her family had painted for her. While she was playing with her friends, attending her classes, and just being a kid, her brothers and sisters were busy pulling off bank heists, overseeing their footsoldiers pushing drugs, and torturing men in their basements for information.

She had no idea that her family was the most powerful and successful crime family in all of London.

She found out later in life, around the age of nine. She overheard her family talking business as they always did after Sunday dinner at their mother's house. She never did let it bother her though. While many children might have been frightened or even shocked at such a revelation, nothing really seemed to change about her. At least not immediately. She slowly began to hang around her siblings more than usual, even going so far as to spy on them. She wanted to be like them. Her eyes were opened and she saw the fear and respect that they commanded with only their silent presence and it was a marvelous thing. She didn't want to be like them for the power, oh no. She just didn't want to be the odd one out. Of course, she realized that they were through great lengths to prevent her from finding out about their involvement with the other side of the law, so she was careful not to let on that she knew anything about it. She knew that they weren't about to “show her the ropes” of the family business, so she often did some research of her own. Her “Hutchinson genes” didn't often come to surface, with the exception of when she was at school and needed to get a message across. Her family continued to see her as the baby of the bunch, their sweet and innocent little gem.

At least until she got pregnant.

She was young – Nearly sixteen but not quite. To this day, she has yet to see her relationship as a mistake. His name: Oliver Moyer. Oliver had been somewhat of a body guard for her since she was a child. Whenever things were tense with other families, Patrick would have his closest friend shadow Keela and take her where she needed to go and provide her with whatever she wanted. It shouldn't have been too much of a surprise when the twenty-six year old man fell in love with the teenager, though neither of the starstruck lovers expected to fall into bed with one another so quickly. Still, they did. She was soon enough carrying his child and burdened with their secret. She feared that her brothers would kill Oliver if they ever found out that he was the father of Liam (though she was surprised that they didn't at least guess it was him considering they share a middle name and a few genetic features) so she kept her mouth shut. Still, they were understanding of her and supportive during her time of need.

She moved out of her mother's house shortly before the birth of Liam, unable to bear the look of disappointment that she constantly found in Molly's eyes. She was given the entire west wing of the twenty-fifth floor in the Hotel Britannica, her brothers' greatest creation and a monument to their power. It was their safe place. With the aid of her siblings, biological and in-laws, and her lover, she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and named him after his father and grandfather: Liam Sydney Hutchinson.

Their secret was safe for a while, though Oliver eventually went behind Keela's back and plead with the woman who had raised him since he was sixteen: Molly Hutchinson. He begged for her daughter's hand in marriage and got that approval. Of course, he had to ask Patrick as well. He was the head of the family, after all. But things didn't go as planned. Keela had done her best to talk her brother down into an understanding state of mind so that he wouldn't react as harshly when she finally told him who the father of her child was. But it was to no avail. Unable to bear the thought of continuously living in fear, keeping their love and their family in the shadows until God knows when, the two made their way to confessional and let out their secret to Father O'Brien before boarding a plane to Justice, California, telling only Molly Hutchinson their whereabouts and frequently sending her letters. Keela began to take classes at JAI: Justice Art Institute, where she works to obtain a couple of degrees.

While Oliver has gotten a job working at the gym as a trainer, she brings in money to the household through freelancing as a tattoo artist, model, and photographer. They've been in Justice for six months now and have settled in nicely, fitting well with the community. They've managed to stay off the radar of the local crime syndicates as they are trying to adjust as a normal couple before undertaking such a task and plan on soon sending out wedding invitations to the other Hutchinsons.

She's recently taken a break from college before she begins her second semester and has taken up a job at a local dance studio as an instructor.

Aww, you're making me blush.

[Katelyn]

You should be. You spent some serious-ass time on that. I hate CS writing and therefore am in a bit of amazement. The notorious Kate says wow.

I'm a detail whore.

Among being a whore of other things.

But those are stories best saved for later ;D

[Ghirardelli]

on another note, that strictly an art college you've created?

[Little Fox]

Ghirardelli said

Indeed it is. Such degrees earned there would be in dance, art history, dance history, performance (vocal), performance (piano), audio engineering, animation, photography, cinematography, etc etc.

[Ghirardelli]

They wouldn't have sport teams then
