Background:

Isaiah was born in Baltimore, and grew up on the rough and tumble streets. His father left when he was very young, leaving his mother to raise him alone. She tried her hardest to raise him well, and while Isaiah loved her and cared for her as much as she did for him, he still ended up joining a street gang.

His mother did not like his being in a gang, but Isaiah felt it was the only way he could make something of himself. Then one day, one of his fellow gang members came to him in need of help. He had killed someone during a botched robbery, and needed a place to hide. Isaiah helped him out, but it was not until later after the other man was gone that he found out the truth: his own mother had been the one killed in the robbery attempt.

Background:

Cyrus was born and raised in Greenview, but always felt the small town life was not for him. He had big dreams of getting out of town and heading to a big city. His parents wanted to support their son, but they did not want him to go so far, and tried to persuade him to stay any way they could. But he just could not see himself being a small town boy forever, and so after high school, he finally left, with no word to his parents beyond a note.

He should have felt bad for leaving in such a way, but Cyrus was much too excited to finally be able to live his dreams. He headed south and eventually ended up in Miami. Immediately he was swept up by the glamor of the city, and while it took a while for him to get his footing, he finally did. He worked a series of odd jobs for years, never really finding anything that stuck. But then eventually he came upon the world of professional video gaming. Having always been an avid video gamer, he set out to make a name for himself, streaming games and creating a decent online presence. During this time, he also met a man who came from a rich family, and despite their differing background, the two of them became fast, inseparable friends.

Background:

Etienne was born in New Orleans and had a happy childhood with his parents, until they were sadly killed in a car crash when he was seven. Afterwards, an older uncle took him in and raised him, and both he and Etienne became very attached to each other. His uncle loved to cook and he taught him all the tricks of the trade, hoping he might go on to become a chef one day. Etienne liked that idea, and had every intention of doing so--until his uncle too sadly passed away.

The older man had had little money, leaving Etienne with hardly anything, thus making it nearly impossible for him to make his dream of becoming a chef come true. But his uncle had also taught him how to play cards, and being as he was rather good at that, he decided to see just how much he could parlay that into making some money. After some trial and error, Etienne became adept not only at playing cards well but also at cheating. He won plenty of money, and while he should have taken that money and used it towards chef school, he found he was getting much too caught up in the rush of seeing just how much he could get away with.

Background:

Rance is from a family of several generations of farmers in Virginia. Despite this, he did not want to be a farmer. Rather, his dream was to be a bronco rider in a rodeo. His father did not take too kindly when Rance finally told him this, which lead to a row, which led to Rance leaving home.

He headed west and eventually made it into a rodeo, becoming one of the best bronco riders in the company. But tragedy struck when Rance was injured after a particularly hard fall from a horse. Despite his best efforts to literally get back in the saddle, his knee was wrecked and the owner of the rodeo told Rance he could not compete anymore.
