[OOC] American Crime Story

[Little Fox]

Aww. A little ass-kicking sesh in the gym followed by some drinks and I think they could be good chums! :3

[Deamonbane]

Yes... he does like kicking some ass, and he does like drinks...

[Little Fox]

Perfect! Then they can go tell everyone about their new scars and bruises. Like 3rd graders sharing scabs.

Our commanding officer ladies and gentlemen.



“To them, our job is to shine up the shit and turn it into gold so majors can become colonels and mayors can become governors. What our real job is? It says it on our badge, we protect and we serve. We’re police and we march ever onwards” – Edward O’Banion

Name:
Edward O’Banion

Nicknames:
Eddie (Only by his wife)

Rank:
Major

Age:
53

Occupation:
Major of the Major Crimes Unit

Years On:
30 years

Place of Birth:
Providence, Rhode Island, USA

Skills:
Investigation:
Communication/Command:
Analysis:
Negotiation
Political Connections

Personality & History:
Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Edward O’Banion moved to Boston when he was two years old. The only son of a pair of teachers, Eddie was blessed with almost dual educations. He’d receive regular schooling like everyone else but when he came home he received further studies with his parents, leaving him with a far above average intelligence. Straight out of high school, Eddie married his sweetheart Renee before leaving Boston to attend the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. An injury to his hand forced Eddie to return home and soon he enrolled in college and earned a political science degree.

At the age of twenty three, he joined the Boston Police Department. Initially starting out on patrol, Eddie proved his skills time and again, building up a networks of friends and contacts within the criminal world that would serve him well in the future. After assisting a detective on a murder case, Eddie was moved up to the Homicide Division, where he remained for many years. He earned reputation as a “natural police” due to his instincts, tenacity and intelligence. During his time in homicide, Eddie also began to amass information on the corrupt dealings of his fellow officers. Originally he was going to report them but over time he came to realise that he could use the information when necessary to allow him to focus on cases.

Things changed though however when acting against the orders of the Deputy Commissioner, Eddie charged a politically connected fence to coerce his testimony in a homicide case. Though the case was successfully closed, the Deputy still had the rogue detective transferred to a district to work a desk as a punishment. Stuck in a dead end role, Eddie finally began to play the political game of the BPD and over the years ranked up to the Major of his district. When the Commissioner decreed the formation of the Major Crimes Unit, Eddie used some of his long hidden dirt to force the boss’s hand and make him the leader of the unit. Finally, Eddie could do some real police work.

Extra:
- The Major is well known for his connections, having friends in the FBI. CIA and in political office but he will only ever use this connections when necessary.
- He is married but is unable to have children, so he and his wife adopted and he often calls his young recruits son or daughter as both a joke and a term of endearment
- He is considered one of the most eccentric officers ever to grace BPD

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I recieved a VERY soppy message when it was my birthday a few months ago, on an RP X and I were involved in, and I'm going to return the favour.

Happy happy happy birthday to the most handsome, sweetest, funniest, most amazing, smartest, sexiest ;), loveliest, lushest Internet Hubby a girl could ask for. Sometimes I don't know what I'd do without you, and I'm sure all of us here that know you well will agree with alot of the above statements.

First post is up guys!

[KnightsTemplar]

Any info on the first three victim's?, other then similar looks, or we free to draw our own comparisons?

[Xtreme]

Feel free to draw your own comparisons, makes it interesting :)

[KnightsTemplar]

Might get confusing if say three people come up with three different comparisons.
If you'd like, I can mock up four victim profiles so that we all have the same general info to go off of.
