BIOGRAPHY.

TW-- DEATH

Your life was a series of failed good intentions. Your parents were young when they had you and your younger sister--- too young to be caring for two daughters. The four of you often bounced from sketchy motels rooms to abandon apartment units, anything that would shelter you from the weather and keep a roof over your head. Your parents tried their best to give you a better life, but luck was never on their side. The sleepless nights and constant moving kept them tired, and that often got them fired from whatever job they managed to acquire. It was an endless loop of navigating a world not meant to set them up for success--- until your actions caused that to end.

You hadn't known that calling 911 would cause you to lose your parents. You had just watched your father wander into your motel room with blood spreading across his abdomen and a stack of cash in his hand. You didn't know that your parents attempted to rob a bank and your father got shot on their way out--- all you knew was that he was injured and needed medical attention. When the emergency vehicles came, they connected the cash and the wound to the recent robbery and arrested both your parents. You could do nothing but hold your crying sister as your parents were taken away--- never to be seen by the duo again.

Your second failed good intention came years after your parents got sentenced to prison and lost custody of you and your sister. The two of you bounced from foster home to foster home for the rest of your youth, always together as you fought to protect Nhi from any dangers. Once you two grew out of the foster system, you secured a small apartment together and worked together to keep the place afloat. A place of your own (one you legally rented, not crashed like your youth), a sister with a stable job and smiling face, and food on the table each night.

The only thing that ruined your mood was your sister's boyfriend, James. You never trusted him from the moment Nhi brought him home, but your sister often passed off your worry as an overprotective sisterly instinct. You let the concern pass since Nhi was in love and happy, but that changed when you came home and saw him yelling at your little sister. The scared look on her face triggered you, and you ended up hitting him on the head with a frying pan. Your aim was a little too good, and he ended up collapsed on the floor with blood quickly staining the carpet. You didn't know what you expected from your little sister --- relief, shock, both? --- but her calling her a monster was never in your mind. The look of horror on her face as she threatened to call the cops on you burned into your mind, and you took off running before an apology could even slip out.

After that, your life fell into a cycle of crime and running--- much like your childhood. You left your home and ran in an attempt to avoid your past mistakes, ending up meeting up with some motorcyclists who took you in as one of their own. Their connections led you to a life of smuggling illegal goods and taking care of problems for the right price. Eventually, you became the president of the Red Jackals and your ragtag group turned into a full-fledged organization--- one that built up a reputation of danger and mystery. You eventually settled back in Redford (a place you and your sister once called home), perhaps as a reminder of your past--- or a desire to rebuild yourself and focus on your future. Either way, you and your crew are a reckoning for the power players that rule this town, and they best stay out of your way.

WANTED CONNECTIONS.

THE PSEUDO CHILD: Linh has a fondness for all of her red jackal members, but this character in particular has a certain spot in her heart. She's never been the type to want kids (especially with how her childhood went), but this person feels like a younger sibling or child to her. There's a certain fragility with how she handles them that's different from the rest. Where she's stern with others, she'll be more lenient with them. Of course, don't mistake her kindness for weakness. The moment they mess up, they'll see a side of her that the others have learned to fear.

THE VICTIM: Linh has a lot of blood on her hands, and this person has first-hand experience with the bounty hunter. Their family member/lover/UTP was killed by Linh, and they hold a grudge against the MC president ever since. They want Linh to pay for her actions, but how they go about that and the extent they'll go to enact it is UTP.

THE BETRAYER: This is someone who either used to be with the red jackals but abandoned them for another group, or they're a spy who joined the jackals and is sharing information with one of the families in town. Either way, the moment Linh found out/finds out about their lie, their relationship would transition from friends to enemies. Linh doesn't take kindly to liars, and she'll want to make them pay for hurting not only herself, but her squad as well.

TW-- DRUG OVERDOSE, DEATH, SUICIDAL IDEATION

The Callahans carry a certain reputation around town--- smooth, polished, a clan of wolves who smile sweetly for the camera but go for the throat the moment one's back is turned. You were meant to follow that legacy and become the model of perfection like your sisters, but you ended up becoming the black sheep instead. Your grades were never good enough to rival theirs. Your friends were never prestigious enough. You didn't have the same drive as them. You felt like you never lived up to the legacy they and your family created, so eventually, you gave up and became the stain on the Callahan's otherwise perfect track record.

You tried to go to college and become someone your family could be proud of, but even then, you fell in with the wrong crowd. You gravitated towards those who would rather party than keep up with their studies, and so, you spent most of your time partying your life away, waking up hungover, and doing it all again the next day. Eventually, your grades fell and you were kicked out of your university, but you didn't care anymore. You wanted to live--- to have fun, rather than waste your life striving to catch up with your sisters.

After college, you met someone who finally understood you. Violet was someone who also came from a prestigious family on the east coast and never quite lived up to their standards. She abandoned them the first chance she could get, and you admired the way she took no non-sense and didn't care about anyone else's opinion. The two of you were glued to each other's side--- a codependent relationship that wasn't truly healthy, but you didn't care. You saw your future in her eyes, and the two of you took on the world together--- until Violet overdosed during a particularly rowdy party. You watched the ambulance drive away and got the call of her confirmed death not too long later, and you were left alone once more.

That event should've been your wake up call, but it really drove you closer to the edge. You came back home to Redford to attempt to wipe your memories of her, but instead, an intense sadness enveloped your heart. You became more self-destructive with your life and found yourself constantly partying and putting yourself in harms way in an attempt to feel something again. Your relationship with your family could only be considered strained--- your eyes avoiding theirs in an attempt to ignore the disappointment and concern. You're a bomb waiting to explode, and it's only a matter of time before you shatter. The only question is: when that happens, will anyone be around to pick up the pieces? Or are you destined to be alone forever?

WANTED CONNECTIONS.

THE CARETAKER: Someone who has seen Thea's destructive ways and has been there to quietly take care of her and support her. Thea's not good with accepting help or acknowledging when she's gone too far, and this person knows how to assist her without triggering her fight-or-flight response. She sees them as a older brother/sister and they're one of the few people she confides in.

THE RELUCTANT MENTOR: Thea definitely watched the Red Jackals and wants to be part of that world, and this person is the one who often endures that curiosity. She's trail after them like a little shadow--- often asking if she could ride their motorcycle and what it takes to join their gang. Whether she admits it or not, she craves purpose and acceptance, and sees how the MC treats their members. There's an admiration to that, and Thea will keeping pushing until they let her in.

THE GHOST: This is someone who reminds Thea of Violet--- whether it's their features or personality. There's a hesitation Thea feels whenever this person is around--- as is she can't decide if she wants to get closer or avoid the memories that may resurface from being in their presence. Instead, she'll quietly keep an eye on them, hoping one day she'll approach them and maybe get the closure she desperately craves.
