@Wade Wilson

Oopsies, mind fart on my part. Well, best luck to you :)

[Silent Whispers]

Wow. I've missed so much. D:

Give me some time to read up on everything, accept or reject characters. I have three going after the Eldest Montgomery, which is an even bigger hassle for me because every time I've had a competition, I always received a PM stating why this or why that when I didn't choose a certain character. :(

But anyways, thank god I am off tomorrow so I should have my character up tonight after work, which I hate right about now.

And probably start this tomorrow night, too.

Okay, everyone? :) If you need anything important, please PM me!

Personality;;

♦ Flirtatious ♦ Impatient ♦ Loyal ♦ Threatening ♦

As eldest Montgomery, Jay feels he has a responsibility on his shoulders, and dedicates himself to protecting them no matter what. Despite this, he is at a constant struggle with his powers, as he’s constantly being taken over by the sudden desire to rip the nearest person’s clothes off and take them right there on that table/desk/suitcase/floor. He mainly just has one-night-stands and then gets on with it, having to just ride out his “episodes” the best way he can. Yet, he refuses to get help, as he’s got better things to do than “take useless drugs” or “listen to some useless fella with a fancy degree drone on for hours”.

History;;

If you ever wanted to learn more about Julian, then most anyone who knew him would either bid you good luck or tell you not to bother. This is because there’s nothing he does remember about it - the effect his ability has on him has long since erased half of his memories as it slowly strips him of his personality. There’s few things he remembers nowadays - you could ask him to go get you something from the store and he’d come back empty handed with a girl by his side.

The memory most vividly burned into his mind is the first time he took a beating. A few boys were harassing Emilia, and he’d finally figured out where they were (thanks to a little flirting with a couple of people). In the end, he’d managed to get them to back off, but not before he got a cut on his lip and a nasty gash on his back that needed stitches. Though, with all honesty, he wasn’t really expecting them to have knives. To this day, he still looks out for Emmy, no matter how much she reminds him that she’s only 2 years younger than him.

As of the present, however, whatever’s left of his memory is fixated on the struggle between the three families. As eldest son, his father had raised him to have responsibilities, and despite him not remembering barely any of it, it has still affected his personality. He does remember brief glimpses of talking to his father, but most of them are recent, and slowly slipping from his memory. However, despite it, he refuses to get help as he has a duty to protect his family (and soon run the empire), and he intends to fulfil it.

---

---

Ability;;

Lust— Julian is attractive; quite literally. People are sexually aroused and attracted to him, no matter their gender or sexuality. Julian sees it as an independent being, capable of choosing who is attracted to him. It also has a mirrored, albeit weaker effect on him - he is attracted to anyone who is most under the influence of his power.

Limitations;;

Julian cannot stop this power, nor can he control it. It is constantly active, and he has no idea who it will attract, or when. Also, his power’s strength depends on how strong-willed the people around him are. If they’re weak-willed enough, it can cause a catastrophically permanent effect, sometimes causing people to go full-on yandere mode. Finally, on the terms of the mirrored effect it has on him - it can cause trouble in the context that if their influence declines, or there is someone weaker willed than them, Julian can end up being with a completely different person by the end of the night. Another major thing is that his power slowly consumes him, stripping him of his memory and personality, until all that is left is his lust, and a raging pheromone-induced desire for dominance and women.

Extra;;

It’s a tie between Ki Hong Lee, Christopher Larkin, or Thomas Brodie-Sangster <3 (I’m such a girl lol)

Oh, and Julian drives the new Mini convertible.

I'm nearly finished with him, just need to do the in-depth appearance and complete his personality. *wipes brow* Doing stuff is hard work.

[Wade Wilson]

Wow. I've missed so much. D:

Give me some time to read up on everything, accept or reject characters. I have three going after the Eldest Montgomery, which is an even bigger hassle for me because every time I've had a competition, I always received a PM stating why this or why that when I didn't choose a certain character. :(

But anyways, thank god I am off tomorrow so I should have my character up tonight after work, which I hate right about now.

And probably start this tomorrow night, too.

Okay, everyone? :) If you need anything important, please PM me!

@SgtEasy

Lady/man/alien magnet XD

And I'm unsure what you mean by a passive ability, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say yes, in the terms that it can never be "switched off" and it has an affect on him aswell.

EDIT: Once all of the Montgomery family children have been accepted, I'll tweak a couple of things from Emmy's backstory to match the rest :)

[Hillan]

Has anyone applied for youngest Davidson child?

[Wade Wilson]

@Hillan

I don't think they have.

[Hillan]

Aight.

Also, Hushed, I am excited to see your character!

[Angel Eyes]

<Snipped quote by Hillan>

I don't think they have.

@Wade Wilson

I've been considering switching to the youngest Davidson son to open up the middle Davidson daughter position since I think some people may prefer a female role.

If you're talking about my search for a role, I worked something out with Hush, so don't do that on my account. Now if someone else was also searching, that would be between you and them.

Oh I just meant in general. But I do remember @Mr Allen J wanting the eldest daughter davidson role, so i dont know if he or anyone else would be interested in the middle davidson daughter role or not.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

I'm coming up with a bit of trouble coming up with a character.

Don't count on me (I.E Don't hold a spot for me) to make a character sheet.

[Angel Eyes]

Naw, this applies to u or anyone else who would be interested in the spot, Id be willing to switch roles for the sake of filling up the davidson family.

[Hillan]

Though - provided you aren't gonna change characters, wanna work on basic relationship between Cleo and Jerome?

Victoria Piper Montgomery

Vickie, a nickname given to her by family and friends.

Age:

Twenty One

Gender:

Female

Sexuality:

Heterosexual

Relationship Status:

Single

Role:

Middle Daughter

---

---

Appearance:

Unlike her oldest sister, the long cascading locks found on Victoria is a dark chocolate brown and often found untamed. She also wears them tied into a neater ponytail when engaging in any physical activity to allow ease of movement and comfort. Perhaps it is the set of colours that she choose or simply the way that she applies it, but yet despite her choice of hairstyle, she still manages to retain a good sense of class and elegance without appearing too messy or even unkempt. Possessing a set of startlingly distinctive azure blue eyes fringed with dark brown lashes, they are the most prominent facial feature. Her thin pointed lips are a peachy shade of pink and her pale ivory skin is unblemished of any tattoos or visible scars.

She stands at a height of 1.68m or 5'5" and the only heeled footwear she wears are heeled boots. Her build is a slim spoon-shaped figure, she still manages to get a decent set of muscles from her regular bout of exercises. As for clothing wise, Victoria tends to stick to dark-coloured clothing hues, like black and the darker shades of grey. She sports heavy eyeliner and can usually be seen in blouses and pants with the occasional skirts here and there. As per their family status and that befitting of their wealth, Victoria is often similarly clad in the garb of the big brands, along with other designer-level apparel, be they top, bottom or both. She does not have a habit of wearing any earrings but she however, does wear a necklace laced with several black opals along with a couple of diamond gems.

---

Personality:

♦ Ambitious ♦ Blunt ♦ Industrious ♦ Unforgiving ♦

Despite her how outer appearance and expression may seem to be, once one gets to know her, they would discover her to be rather warm and friendly, to a certain extent of course. Don't expect her to remain warm or friendly to you if you ever double cross her or even get in the way of her path. Blunt and unforgiving, she does not sugar-coat anything and is uncompromisingly forthright. It goes without a doubt that Victoria is highly confident of both herself and her abilities, but not to an extent that would make her seem cocky or arrogant, simply just assured of her own skills and abilities. Spending little to no time idle, she is always found doing something that isn't lazing about, be they business-related or personal-interests related.

She is known to be highly-focused and remarkably industrious, willing to put in the extra mile to achieve her goal or complete the tasks assigned to her. Intelligent and witty with a balanced mix of both book-smart and street-smarts, she has put her talents to good use handling the affairs of the family business despite being no where near the line of succession being the middle daughter of the family.

Once she sets goals for herself, she becomes incredibly dedicated to her goals, pretty much almost to the point of stubbornness. Bold and adventurous, she is not afraid of trying out new things and activities and is always looking forward to learning new stuff, whatever that might be. A good team player who understand the necessity of teamwork and cooperation, Victoria is also an outspoken and ambitious individual who is not afraid to make her views and opinions be known to the rest of the group.

Ability:

Telekinesis - She is able to influence and move objects with her mind, such as lifting objects into the air, altering an object's directional course or to grasp an object firmly in place binding its movement. She is also able to pull objects towards her or push objects away from her.

Limitations;;

Although she considers herself to be relatively competent with her power, she is not able to large objects such as vehicles and above, such as lifting an entire car or truck. She is however more than capable of ripping off the door of a car or stripping it of its tires. Using telekinesis takes up more brain power the bigger the object, and using it too often and going beyond her limitations can cause nose bleeding, migraines or simply passing out so she tries to limit her usage of her powers and to limit its use to smaller objects.

---

History:

Ever since they were young, Victoria and her older sister were always fighting and vying for their father's attention. When her father wasn't occupied with her sister, she would be at his side, preferring his company to the rest of the family. Having being born first, her older sister, Emilia had two extra years of their father's attention and love, and Victoria would often argue for balance. She loves the rest of her siblings and mother as well, but just like the oldest daughter, her favourite person was her father.

As she grew older, that was probably where the similarities stopped and branched off towards different paths. Victoria excelled in her studies and was considered to be incredibly bright, a top student in her cohort, unlike her eldest sister who remained in the average range. Being the friendly personable individual she was, she always made it a point to help her siblings whenever they had any problems or issues with their school work. Growing up, she found an interest in martial arts, and her parents soon found a private instructor to impart the skills of the Taekwondo to her. She performed remarkably well, just as everyone thought she would. Another affair she could interested in was the affairs of the family business. She would watch while her father conducted his business, whether it was in secret or in public in the vicinity.

Victoria was just fourteen when she discovered that she had powers of her own. The reason for discovering it in the first place may have appeared trivial to others, but not to her. One of her most treasured possessions was a ceramic mug that a close friend gave her. Caught up in her work with her books lying haphazardly on her desk, a careless shove later, her mug left the confines of the desk and was heading towards the hard surface of the living room floor. By the time she realised what was going on, and a futile grasp of the air later accompanied by a yell of dismay fully expecting to hear the shattering of her beloved mug, but there no such thing. What followed next caught her by surprise. The cup floated back up into air with less drink in it than before, but it was fully intact, in one piece. After being dumbstruck for several moments, she realised the mug was floating back towards her just as she was staring right at it. That incident was Victoria's first knowledge of her power and she has worked on improving it ever since.

Role;;

Appearance;;

Donovan may be a free, casual spirit but he still takes careful care of his appearance. Smooth, white skin is graced with not a single hair (except for his head, of course) nor blemish. He "finely crafts", as he puts it, his hair into what it is and takes thirty minutes to get ready. He also "sculpts" his beard every morning, "crafting" it into what it is. He stands at a tall 6"7 and is more of a lean man, not overtly muscly but not skinny. His style is very casual and comfort based, he cares more about his actual physical appearance than the clothes he wears. He could be seen walking around in black sweatpants, long t-shirts, sandals and a beanie. He can always be seen carrying a long, black case containing his bokken and hakama. He has a scar right on his left eyebrow from when he was nicked by some thug in a street alley. He has two earrings, one on each ear.

Personality;;

♦ Carefree ♦ Lazy ♦ Light-hearted ♦ Addicted ♦ Intelligent ♦ Self-deprecating ♦

Donovan is known as a free spirit for a reason. He is known for his lazy attitude and rarely moves from his little hill in the local park, seen lying there and watching as the clouds pass over his head. He is not known for being motivated, quite the opposite actually, and can be seen getting dragged from his hill towards his house for chores or meetings. He sleeps till he can sleep no more and can almost never be woken up by someone else. He doesn't do much and he tries to avoid the fighting although the occasional opportunistic rival criminal will try to sneak up on him and kill him. This will usually end in a bokken to the face.

He doesn't talk about it much but he is addicted to the feeling of slo-mo, the slowing of his perception of time through listening to classical music. It is like a drug to him, the high adrenaline rush and the relaxing feeling of sleeping for hours afterwards makes him feel good. Although it is overworking his eyes and he will eventually lose his ability to see, he loves the feeling of being able to watch everything in detail. To see the clouds crawl slowly across the sky, the bird flying past him, the sound of the soft laughter of children as they run past him. Mix that in with his almost constant use of marijuana to forget about his problems, he is a very problematic person although most wouldn't realise it. He knows this, scolding himself for using it too much but can't do anything but enjoy the warmth he feels when using it.

The only things that get him going is cooking, his kendo and violin lessons, watching anime and baking cupcakes. Otherwise, he is seen with his earphones in, watching as the effects of slo-mo take place. He talks a lot when he isn't doing any of those things and doesn't take things seriously but he could also be called excessively modest at times, even self-deprecating.

Ability;;

Donovan's main power is the ability to perceive reality in a slower way than it currently is when listening to classical music. This can be used to see the subtle changes in someone's movements, analyse their facial expressions, react to the situation with quick reflexes and be able to think ten steps ahead of the opponent. With his bokken, he can easily deflect knife and hand strikes, following up with a strike of his own. This ability raises his adrenaline to ludicrous levels hence the addiction. This ability doesn't work very well during fights when his bokken isn't in hand due to the high amount of adrenaline and energy being released when the ability is used in combat, the bokken acts as a conductor to let him course energy through so it doesn't stress him too much. With his violin, he can enrapture an entire audience of non-power users within a fifty foot radius, making them pause whatever they are currently doing and go still. They enter a coma-like state and is in this state as long as the music is playing. When the music stops, anyone who was captured by the music will be in shock. This ability does not work on power users.

Limitations;;

Don's main ability has the potential to kill him or, in the very least, blind him. During slo-mo, the eye muscles are being strained and pulled at, continuously sending signal after signal to the brain. This high amount of stress can lead to serious headaches and incapacitates him if he uses it too much. It also doesn't mean he is necessarily faster or stronger, it just means he has a chance to have a faster reaction time. If his body is not up to it, he will not be able to dodge bullets. An easy way to get rid of it? Take his earphones off or get rid of his bokken. The violin power does not work on power-users and requires the user to stay in one spot. This gives his opponents the potential to be sneak up on him. And for both, it is the ease of access. He cannot carry his violin case around. Too heavy for daily use. And his bokken, while lighter, still needs to be taken out of it's case to be used. Without it, his main power cannot be used.

History;;

Donovan was born into the Montgomery family and was always a lazy child. Right from the get go, he never caused trouble for his parents, being one of the calmer siblings in the the family. He was always laying around back then, never doing anything more than eat, shit and sleep even when he turned into a toddler. He was the kind of baby that woke up suddenly, looks you in the eye, gets bored and goes back to sleep. He was constantly napping and the only thing he ever got excited about was when he first listened to classical music. It was a very quiet afternoon and Mr. Montgomery was looking after his son in work. Bored out of his mind, his father turned the radio on to a piece by Mozart. He took an instant liking to it and it was the only thing that seemed to take him out of the trance of eternal laziness. Although this was a heart touching moment, he had never really connected with any of his family except for his mother.

In school, he was very popular but was distracted too much to even notice. Most of his teachers thought that he had serious potential for great things but due to how he could easily be distracted by the smallest of things, he never realised them and they checked it up as a short attention span. In reality however, it was due to his newfound slo-mo ability that made him distracted, everything he could study in much more detail and everything was slowed down. Even then, the adrenaline was pumping inside of him although not as much as he is currently, the headaches weren't common back then. This was when he found his second hobby. Cooking. Baking was the love of his life. There are photos of him wearing his miniature fluffy apron, eyes wide as he squatted in front of the oven, watching as a batch of brownies heated.

He began violin lessons at the age of thirteen and realised his second ability when he felt his fingertips tingle at the touch of the violin. He instantly connected to the instrument, man and violin becoming one. At the same time, he started his kendo lessons. This also started his almost rabid obsession with anime and the struggle to find self-control as he took his first drag of marijuana. The mix of drug usage, slo-mo addiction, laziness and emotional struggle for self-discipline made him a mess inside, resulting in the mess he is today. The carefree, light hearted individual with all the potential to reach the clouds, only to be shackled by the very power he was born with.

Extra;;

I mean like, dude. Kevin Hart though. And fun fact, Don is a virgin.

@SgtEasy

I just have slight problem and it's not a big deal but why is he so freaking tall? O.O

Other than that, he's accepted.

Here is my CS. I made a last minute change with the powers since I feel the Montgomery family has too many 'squishies' and opted for an ability with a high defensive potential: terrakinesis or earth-bending.

Arsene Montgomery

Arsene Montgomery

”A number of porcupines huddled together for warmth on a cold day in winter; but, as they began to prick one another with their quills, they were obliged to disperse. However the cold drove them together again, when just the same thing happened. At last, after many turns of huddling and dispersing, they discovered that they would be best off by remaining at a little distance from one another.” –Arthur Schopenhauer

Name;;

Arsene Simon Montgomery

Nickname;;

Arsene. He generally doesn't like nicknames, and thinks it's sloppy or rude to call someone who doesn't wish to be addressed with a nickname. He however doesn't mind being referred to as 'Quake' since it's the name of a popular 'shooter' franchise and references his ability.

Age;;

17

Gender;;

Male

Sexuality;;

Asexual

Relationship Status;;

Single

Role;;

Youngest son

Appearance;;

Arsene has short, light brown hair and blue eyes. He is kind of small and lanky with a bit of a lazy slouch and shrinking mannerisms. He dresses very plainly, with t-shirts and jeans. The nicest he'll dress is by replacing his t-shirt with a button-up shirt, and his jeans with dress pants. He'll only wear a suit if pushed by his parents.

Likes;;

• Chaos, losing control
• The idea of sex and romance
• The concept of money
• Ignorance, people who refuse to be objective
• Mind- and mood-altering substances

Hobbies;;

• Video games
• Camping

Habits;;

• Brings his hands close to his chest when nervous, sometimes wrings them, a chronic nailbiter
• Plays MMO's casually, but regularly
• Tends to keep his frustrations to himself, tends to explode afterwards

Fears;;

• Being dominated, physically, mentally, and emotionally
• Crowds and wide open spaces

Personality;;

♦ Intelligent ♦ Condescending ♦ Accommodating ♦ Unstable ♦

Arsene is an introverted and thoughtful individual. As the youngest of five siblings, he's had to balance being babied and being the runt. This has resulted in a dichotomous personality, one that desires to stand out above the rest but also desires to placate the strongest personalities in order to reduce conflict. By focusing on the utilitarian overall happiness and peace of the household, Arsene has chosen, to a certain extent, to suppress his own opinions and desires. However, his pride in the power of his mind, the one thing he believes is truly his, cannot be contained, and is the main source of disagreements between him and his siblings who may find him unbearably pedantic at times. In the end, he loves his family and has divided the world into two types of people: his family, and everyone else. How he treats these two types is drastically clear.

Arsene desires peace, stability, and security above all else and is not hesitant to enact draconian and violent measures against the other families to attain the order he craves. Arsene can easily fall into a rage and become impossible to reason with until after his rage subsides. He also misdirects his anger away from his own family, so even if he was originally annoyed by one of his siblings, he will lash out at someone else. This nepotism, this bias, is glaringly subjective and flies in the face of the objective individual he wishes he was but it is something he actively chooses to ignore. Arsene is a little emotionally underdeveloped, he had started acting a little too much like an adult at too young an age.

Ability;;

Arsene has the ability to control the earth in a five meter radius around himself. The controlled earthen matter can move at a maximum speed of five meters per second. He can use this power to reabsorb earth or earth-like materials back into the ground.

Limitations;;

Arsene cannot intentionally break off parts that he is controlling so cannot 'fling' rocks at enemies using his power. He cannot control any earth or earth-like materials that are not connected to the ground until he has reabsorbed it into the ground. He cannot levitate earth or earth-like materials. Arsene cannot violate the conservation of mass, earth he raises in one side of his field of control must cause earth to lower in another part. He therefore cannot ride a pillar of earth upwards indefinitely as he cannot pull more material from the ground after he has passed five meters away from it. Dry sand is too loose for him to control, but wet sand, soil and solid rock is fine.

History;;

Arsene barely remembers a life outside of Millbrook, having spent the majority of his conscious years in this city. He has some recollection of when the families were united, but those memories are not very strong. His strongest impression of the other families is one of hatred and betrayal. Arsene was not exactly bullied as a child, but his parents, having gone through four previous children, raised him in a sort of matter-of-fact way, one that was a little less affectionate.

Arsene demonstrated a high intelligence from a young age and was something of a precocious youngster. He did well in class with very little effort, and his pride in this achievement may have caused some resentment and distance with some of his older siblings who did not excel as much. With the family business being what it was, Augustus wanted his children to excel, and inadvertently used Arsene's academic success to cause undesired pressure on his siblings, making Arsene a source of some of their grief. Arsene internalized this resentment and vowed to 'make it up' to his siblings by being acquiescent and accommodating. If ever there was strife in the household, he blamed it on external factors, namely, the government and the gang war. In a rather simplistic manner, he came to the conclusion that destroying the other families would bring peace to the Montgomery home.

It was something of a wish come true when it became clear that Arsene's power had enormous destructive potential, and other than having a limited range, Arsene didn't seem to become exhausted as quickly from overuse of his power. He meticulously tested what his limits were and strives to push them on a regular basis. Arsene is a little obsessed with his destructive power and can often be megalomaniacal and abusive of his power.

Lovely character. And I love the actor you are using.

He was the guy in than one movie, which I cannot remember the name of but accepted.

Just space out your character sheet, too, please. :)

After discussing the idea with the GM, I present the Mayor of the lovely little city, Aaron Flint. His 'allegiance' is to the Montgomery family after he was, essentially, bought out. His percieved allegiance to the Montgomery family by the other families will no doubt make him a target in the escalation of the conflict, yet his own resolution to finally 'take a stand' against the mafia families that threaten to tear Millbook apart will undoubtedly bring him at odds with even the Montgomery dynasty.

Appearance

Aaron stands at a somewhat average height of 5'10, and is of an equally average build. Certainly not muscular, he is neither particularly skinny, instead being somewhere healthily between the two. His face often wears a grim expression, a sharp contrast from the upbeat image he naturally conveyed before his election to the Mayor's Office. Most notably, his eyes have a particular, almost indescribable sadness contributing to his negative demeanour. His face is generally clean shaven, though occasionally sports slight stubble. As for his hair, it is kept neatly short and generally styled the same way daily, it does not appear as though much more time is spent on his appearance than the average person, in contrast to many politicians of the day.

His choice of clothing reflects his position as Mayor, almost always seen wearing a suit of some sort. The suits themselves, however, are not necessarily designer or top of the range, and instead appear far more 'average'. This may be the result of recommendations from his political advisors so that he may appear more 'in common' with the citizens of Millbrook, albeit it has to be acknowledged that he is not especially wealthy, and never has been. Certainly, he has a healthy income as a result of his post, though he continues to follow the same spending habits he always has and instead simply saves up a large bulk of his wealth.

Personality

Principled | Pushover | Moral | Hypocritical

Aaron is a deeply conflicted man. Where he once stood for morality and justice, he finds himself torn in the situation he is now in. How can he preach ideals of integrity and honesty when he himself has betrayed those values through his association with the Montgomery family in his campaign to be Mayor? Indeed, he recognises that it is a direct result of his election to the post of Mayor that has allowed not only the Montgomery family, but the Davidon and Edmond families also, to reach new heights of influence and power, neither of which will be clawed back by the government without a fight. He was led to believe by August that the activities he would encourage law enforcement to turn a blind eye to would be largely innocent, and go unnoticed. For the first year, perhaps, this was true. There has, however, been a growing escalation of violence that has led to untold suffering, ever since the release of a new drug that has been spreading like a virus around the city. The Mayor's Office recieves letters daily from residents of Millbrook begging for the government to intervene, and for law enfrocement to protect them, as is their duty. Aaron, however, finds himself unable to fully commit to a campaign against crime and the three families, for in doing so he would surely destroy his reputation, and himself.

He is by no means a bad man, and as he sees it, he has been used by the Montgomery family. His naivety has led to his current circumstance, and he blames himself for having ever allowed the Montgomery family to begin their illicit acts without the full consequence of the law. He, however, believed that the implementation of the schemes and programmes he had thought up to economically aid the poor would outweigh this cost, and he has been proven very, very wrong. The schemes he has implemented have been merely washed aside by the violence, and those who were already suffering, are now suffering even more. How much longer he will be able to stand by remains to be seen.

His wife, perhaps, is the only person who knows the true extent of his inner conflict, and she is undoubtedly his strongest support. Without her, his collapse would be all but assured.

History

Born in the city of Millbrook to a family living comfortably in the middle class, Aaron was only a few years younger than the patriarch of the Montgomery family, August. Attending the same school, the two never quite interacted and only heard of one another in passing, with neither being aware of the close ties they would develop in the near-future that would alter not only their lives, but the course of Millbrook.
-
Aaron never particularly had political ambition, quite far from it. Certainly, he was never a man of great ambition, and had far more humble aims of working in social care or a related career, finding great satisfaction in aiding the needy. It is likely that his father, Cedric Flint, inspired this passion within Aaron, being a notable philanthropist himself around Millbrook. Cedric Lane was even named after him, a small nod toward his charitable efforts from the community of Millbrook.
No doubt inspired by the gratitude and respect held by Millbrook for his own father, Aaron felt it only natural to follow in his fathers footsteps as it were, in his own and admittedly small way.

Completing high school with average grades, he was offered a place at the local university for Millbrook after successfully applying. He had applied, and indeed been accepted, to universities beyond the city, though he found himself unable to leave Millbrook behind. Today, he often describes this longing to stay in Millbrook as his deep desire not to 'leave the job undone', though how greatly this is exaggerated for the press is anybody's guess. It was at university that Aaron came into contact with August Montgomery properly, with August being in his final year of university just as Aaron entered his first. August was assigned to Aaron as his 'mentor', what was in essence a university-run programme to better integrate the new arrivals into campus life. Aaron had heard of the Montgomery family, indeed if there's one thing that can be guaranteed among the people of Millbrook, it is that they are all aware of the three families. Montgomery, Davidson and Edmond.

The two never particularly developed a close relationship, something Aaron is keen to reinforce to any who inquire as to his relations with the Montgomery family, and indeed he is keen to dust any relations he once had with August under the carpet. Yet the two did in fact know one another, undeniably, and no matter how much Aaron tries to bury this stage in his history, it continues to taint his image for those willing to dig deep enough to this day. The truth, that Aaron himself will never admit, is that he admired August. His intellect, his dialogue, his ambition. He radiated the image of success, despite achieving relatively little in his youthful life so far, and it was August who first planted the seeds of political ambition in the mind of young Aaron. It is possible, and in fact likely, that August had planned the next ten years of his life to perfection, and Aaron was a part of that plan. For August knew that if the Montgomery family was to truly succeed, to gain the upper hand on the other families that look to bring them down, they needed the political establishment behind them. The only problem was, the establishment at this time was firmly against any and all activities considered to be 'organised crime', and would come down hard on any convicted of such. The solution then, to August at least, was simple. He needed to re-create the political environment of Millbrook, and he would acheive that through Aaron.

Throughout their brief year together at university, August would subtly ensure Aaron was aware of the wider problems in the city. He spoke of his admiration for Aaron's desire to help those at the bottom through social work, but told him the 'hard truth', as he often put it, that unless there was a man willing to take on the city itself and handle these problems from the top, there would be an endless cycle. An endless cycle of men, like Aaron, achieving in the end, nothing.

The idea stuck with Aaron long after August left university, and indeed the two had little to no contact after August left university. Yet after completing his course at university, and after two years of a career in social care, Aaron finally convinced himself that his mentor at university all of those years ago, was correct. He quit his job, and contacted August. Then, in almost a whirlwind of developments, August found himself as the Democratic nominee for the city of Millbrook, running against the incumbent mayor. Despite his pledge to run a campaign of hope and positivity, behind the scenes there was arm-twisting and blackmail on the part of the Montgomery family to secure information, secrets and scandals against the opposition that would bring momentum to Aaron's campaign. Aaron himself is aware of these closed-door-dealings, though remains naive to the true lengths the Montgomery family went to secure his successful campaign, and indeed he himself never released a 'scandal' against the incumbent mayor, instead looking to promote the positive change he would bring about. Such scandals were instead released through 'anonymous sources', no doubt the Montgomery family.
The result, however, was a decisive victory for Aaron's campaign. Three years ago, he was sworn in as the Mayor of Millbrook.

His ascension to the post of Mayor marked a new era for Millbrook, one that has led to the bloodshed and horrors of increased levels of organised crime, with the Montgomery family being allowed to 'slip through the fingers' of law enforcement as a result from pressure above, specifically, the Mayor's Office. Aaron was promised, in return for a blind eye toward what August described as 'innocent' actions from the Montgomery family, funding for a variety of schemes he sought to implement that he believed would benefit the lowest in society. While these schemes have indeed been implemented, the ever-growing feud between the three families threatens to tear the city apart and has, if nothing else, drawn attention away from the 'good' work of the Mayor, instead focusing on the deaths and crimes as a result of, what the press are describing, the blood feud.

Now, however, three years after his inauguration and a gradually growing conflict within the city, Aaron grows tired of not only the Montgomery family, but the Davidson and Edmond families alike. Yet deciding to go after the families will undoubtedly lead to serious reprecussions from not only the Montgomery family, who certainly have dirt on him, but the others as well. How Aaron will proceed in his efforts to bring the city back into lawful control, not even he is sure.
