“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.”    

■ ABOUT. ■

name: Jacob O’Reilly age: thirty-six occupation: CEO of The Social Calling gender: cis-male pronouns: he/him sexuality: utp

■ HISTORY. ■

The O’Reilly household consisted of four children three boys and one girl. The O’Reilly’s were quite happy to have a small litter of children to further their family legacy. Not that they were part of any of the great high society circles by any means. Despite their hometown being neither small nor big, caught in between in both size and population the O’Reilly family were the most prominent family in town. Jacob was the one expected to rise, and for the most part, he did. His younger siblings were constantly ignored by their dad, while their mom did her best to make up for his lack of interest in the rest of his children. Growing up, Jacob was raised to believe his family was important, and that image mattered quite a lot. The O’Reilly children were beautiful and handsome to their mother's great relief, the siblings were often reminded to represent the family with care and pride. All through his schooling Jacobe did what he was told, was an exemplary student, joined a lot of clubs and extracurriculars, followed his father’s advice and admonishments to the letter.

The O’Reilly’s were known for their poise, polite manners and a track record that out-shined anyone else’s. Their sense of entitlement followed them around. They were the popular kids, the kids that everyone wanted to be like, the ones who always found themselves at the center of attention and admiration. Though Jacob never liked it, as he grew older he could recognize that his popularity often came more from his last name, than his personality. While he wanted to simply shrug off anyone who wanted association with the O’Reilly name, he didn’t. He could picture his mother’s disappointment if he were to make a mockery of what the O’Reilly family stood for. Jacob and his siblings belonged to many teams, both he and his brother Andrew became football players in high school. His younger brother had an incredible talent for the game that didn’t go unnoticed.

While his brother continued with football for his career, Jacob finally was relieved from any pressures or special attention from their parents. Jacob was able to focus on his own marketing degree and eventually start his own marketing business. He and some of his college roommates started a firm out of their apartment in his early twenties and has since grown into one of the largest marketing firms in New York City called The Social Calling. While he and his partners didn’t come from nothing and had help from their parents, it was still their company which they had control and power over. Which in itself was more rewarding than the success they’ve achieved. With how large his family was, people may think it would be hard to keep in touch, though having his family in the same city definitely made it easier. While his brother was on the road with his football team, he would often step in and visit his sister-in-law Lena. His presence in their household wasn’t uncommon in the slightest.

One day, he got a phone call from his sister-in-law crying on the phone, telling him that his brother was in the hospital due to a severe injury on the field. That day changed his brother aggressively. He wasn’t able to play and was released from the team, his family was struggling for money. While Jacob continued to offer to pay for things, Andrew was incredibly stubborn and wanted to live of his own earnings. Jacob, of course, continued to show his support, paid for dinner a few times a week. Jacob's interest in helping his family started some awful fights between him and his brother. Jacob finally chose to stay away from the family for a little while, per his brother's request. During that time, he figured as an O’Reilly he would figure something out. Jacob had confidence in his brother to make something work, what he didn’t expect was for Andrew to disregard everything their parents had taught them and give up. Leaving the city, and his family behind.

■ WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON? ■

After his brother skipped town, Jacob did his best to try and find him. Hiring his IT guys to track him down someway, though every time they got close, they’d lost the trail. After a few months, his brother made if very clear he didn’t want to be found. Jacob made sure to step up and be there for his sister-in-law the best way he could. He wanted to help her, though Lena Flores was a strong woman, stronger than people would give her credit for. In a few months, she seemed to have a business of her own. Without her knowledge, he became a silent investor in hopes to support the spa which of course will provide extra earnings for Lena and his brother’s kids.

■ KEEP THIS AWAY FROM YOUR ENEMIES ■

It’s been a few years since he’s seen or heard from his brother and wasn’t sure if he would ever see him again. A part of him wasn’t sure if he wanted to see his brother after seeing watching Lena suffer through his disappearance. Jacob couldn’t believe how much of a coward his brother was. Recently, he wanted to try to find his brother again, he didn’t want to go to his IT guys again, since that didn’t work the first time. One day he was waiting in Lena’s office and noticed a woman working on some fancy code behind the desk. From the looks of her screen, he wondered if she could be the right person to find his brother. He decided to introduce himself while Lena wasn’t around and ask her a few questions. He quickly learned she might be able to help him. He and Xiomara Reyes met up in a coffee shop and exchanged the necessary information needed in order to track down his brother. After a few weeks, she found a hit, and he was shocked to learn that he’d been living in New York for the last eight months. Jacob wasn’t only shocked, but incredibly frustrated, he paid Xioamara for her services and asked her to keep an eye. He wanted to locate and confront his brother the second she was able to track down a local location.

■ RELATIONSHIPS. ■

■ Lena Flores: Lena was remarkable in his eyes. She was so incredibly strong through what his brother put her through and saw nothing but amazing things. Little does he know the spa she works with is directly owned by the most dangerous gang in New York.

■ Andrew O’Reilly: His brother, who not only let him and his wife down, though let the whole family down with his pathetic and cowardly actions. Learning he’s been hiding in their own city, not wanting to reach out, he wanted nothing more than to meet him face-to-face.

■ Janelle Beaufort: Janelle Beaufort was a client of his. His company is in charge of marketing her brand.

■ ABOUT. ■

name: Talora Borah age: twenty-seven occupation: car thief gender: cis-female pronouns: she/her sexuality: utp

■ HISTORY. ■ tw: suicide

Talora Bora’s upbringing wasn’t something she often spoke about. In fact, if a part of her past were to ever be brought up in conversation she wouldn’t take to it lightly. She and her siblings grew up in a dynamic that required them to be responsible for their survival. Her parents didn’t have a large spending budget, though whenever extra money did arrive at their front door, it was often spent on a trip to the casino. Talora, her twin Leanna and her older brother Kalen did things that were unspeakable from a kids' perspective. The three of them stole from grocery stores, friends backpacks, anywhere they could think to get enough for their next meal, they didn’t hesitate. As a ten-year-old, Talora always felt incredibly guilty stealing snacks from her friend's lunch bags at the end of the day. As a kid, Talora worried a lot about where the next meal was coming from.

Once the Borah siblings reached high school, Talora’s worries shifted. She noticed her sister making concerning choices, it all started when she started flirting with the seniors while they were in school, then as she entered junior year, her sister started sleeping with one of the younger teachers. Her brother didn’t understand why Talora was worried, he always shrugged it off when Talora tried to talk to him about it. She hated that he turned a blind eye to this. She truly believes that if he’d shared her concern from the beginning the rest wouldn’t have happened. One day, her sister started coming home with bruises on her body. Talora knew that it could have only come from one place. She wanted to call the police, though her sister became irritable and pushed her away, both metaphorically and physically. Talora tried to be there for her sister, though the divide between them started to grow as the weeks went by. One day, she heard that her sister had gotten into a fistfight in the cafeteria and the cops on standby needed to pull her apart.

When questioned by the police, her sister didn’t tell them the truth. In order to protect their teacher, she told the police her parents were the result of this. Without much say from the other siblings, they were taken away and separated into various foster homes. The only time she saw her twin was at school, and she could tell she was struggling. Talora didn’t know what to do. Her sister kept pushing her away and starting fights with her. Over the weekend, the unimaginable happened. Her sister committed suicide. Talora was so angry at the world, she ran away from her foster home, and didn’t look back. When took a bus and escaped to New York. She didn’t graduate high school, she didn’t have any money, though she’d been surviving on nothing for so many years this wasn’t a worry of hers.

■ WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON? ■

Talora was in New York for three weeks before finding the Royals. While finding ways to make money and food, she figured the safest way to do so was to break into cars. She’d mastered breaking into various locks in her hometown and simply worked on various cars in empty car lots. When she finally mastered it, she worked away, looking for valuables she could sell, or food she could salvage. One night she was mid-break-in heard a voice yell at her, without thinking she ran figuring it was the owner of the car. She didn’t think anything of it, though it happened to her again the following night. What was odd, was this time, it was a different car, she figured there wasn’t a change this was their vehicle. That was when she met, Cameron Boone.

■ KEEP THIS AWAY FROM YOUR ENEMIES ■

While she’s still young, she’s been around the Royals of Purgatory for almost ten years. She was a prospect alongside the President daughter and she truly felt at home. When her brother arrived in the city, it was without a doubt, she asked to patch him in. The Royals served as more of a family than her real family did. To this day, she’s told very few people about her history that she even had a sister. To most, people would have never known there were originally three Borah siblings. While it’s been so many years, she continues to blame herself for not doing more and often wonders whatever happened of the teacher her sister risked her life to protect. She couldn’t believe it was out of love, though near the end of her sister’s life, she felt she didn’t know the girl at all. To this day, she needs to take sleeping pills in order to get a proper night's sleep. Without them, her conscience does it’s best to punish her, with dreams of her late sister and what she’d been through.

■ RELATIONSHIPS. ■

■ Kane Borah: When Kane arrived in New York, she’d assumed they’d be safe with the Royals. She definitely didn’t think he’d be incarcerated so soon. She thought they wouldn’t need to fight for their next meal anymore since she’s seen the money other royals members make. It wasn’t any crazy, though to her, being able to live comfortably was the dream.

■ Cameron Boone: Since her brother had been incarcerated so soon after joining Royals, Talora replied on Cameron to guide her through her time as a prospect. He helped her understand how her brother would be safe now that he’s with the Royals. Despite his efforts, she does feel guilty at times.

■ Benjamin Eddington: Ben was someone Talora has been able to learn a lot from especially in recent years. Anytime he or Evan go out scoping for cars, she’s always been chosen to be their lookout. She’s been learning a lot and has been wanting to take the next step and actually do a full heist as the lead.
