king of brooklyn.

Name: Spot Conlon Age: 16 when he's selling, 17 when he needs leverage (doesn't actually remember his exact age) Height: 5'3" Hobbies/Interests: Slingshot, learning,  Vices: Stubborn, cocky, sweet tooth Virtues: Decisive, good listener, compassionate Personality: Spot is a strong leader and enjoys the power that comes with it but resents what it means for his social life. He doesn't believe in showing weakness as a leader, and as such has a hard time reaching out to his friends when he needs it. He's observant, fiercely protective of the people he considers friends, and doesn't really care about others' opinions of him as long as HE feels proud of himself. Strong moral compass, high standards for himself. Background: Born in Brooklyn to neglectful parents, who he ran away from after deciding he was better off on his own. He worked his way up the ranks to basically be part of the former Brooklyn leader's inner circle, but due to negligence on the leader's part, he was thrown in the refuge for a time. When he escaped, he challenged and overthrew the Brooklyn leader vowing to himself that he would take care of Brooklyn like the previous leader never could.

HILDY: singing with the sailors and stevedores is a pasttime of ours. it can be pretty dangerous over there, so i think having girls around lightens the load.
