BACKGROUND

Grew up in a neighboring town to Charming, to a filthy rich family, always being told never to enter into Charming town limits, since that’s “where the troublemakers live” as her father put it.

Her father was a savvy businessman who slowly but surely bought up nearly every business in town and helped it grow tenfold, while her mother was on the board for charities and helped keep up their image of a perfect family. 

Growing up, Zoe had so much respect for her parents that she never questioned their need for her to be proper. She had etiquette classes, the best tutors money could buy and was a talented ballet dancer. All because that’s what her parents wanted for her.

But as she became older, Zoe also became more perceptive. By sixteen she knew her father had numerous affairs, her mother had a drinking problem due to being in a loveless marriage and both her older siblings had problems with drugs, alcohol and violence, knowing that their father would always come and bail them out. Zoe vowed that she wouldn’t follow in their footsteps. 

The following years she begun withdrawing from her family and focused entirely on finishing high school. The day after she turned eighteen, she left her hometown and to the town her family had always told her to stay away from, namely Charming. It was her act of rebellion. 

Although not physically far away from her family who were still in the neighboring town, she was suddenly on her own, and having to make her own way in life. 

Zoe started working any job she could find, including serving at Hale’s, serving at La Luna, cleaning at the Highway Motel and babysitting, all to put herself through beauty school and business classes on the side, pay her rent in a shitty house shared with three roommates and put food in her belly. 

It was during those years Zoe begun believing in the strength she possessed.  If she could make it through all that work and hard times, she could make it through anything.

When graduating beauty school and finishing her business classes, Zoe struck a deal with the previous owner of Curly Bops, who was an older lady. Zoe would work for her as a hairdresser and save up enough money to be able to buy Curly Bops, so the other could retire. 

She became the proud owner of her own salon at twenty-nine and couldn’t be prouder of herself. Still works as a hairdresser at the salon, because she doesn’t want to become one of those detached owners like her father was for all his businesses. 

PERSONALITY

She’s very outgoing and a people person. 

Still lives with a roommate, just due to the fact that she’s not huge on being alone. 

Still has some of the habits her parents instilled in her, but goes every day trying to rid herself of them, since she resents her family so much and doesn’t want a single reminder of them. 

Very helpful and is deep in the Charming community. Does volunteer work whenever she can and does whatever to help people in any way. 

A bit naïve at times.

in depth

Gunner has been in Charming for his whole life. He loves the town and is more than happy to call it home. He hasn’t left the town for more than a couple of weeks, even when he dropped out of High School he wasn’t tempted by the rest of the world. He liked his life in Charming. 

His family had lived in the town, and been in the gang, for as long as anyone could remember. His father was a well respected member of the Devil’s Disciples, the gang was his life, and since Gunner can remember he wanted to be part of that. 

Gunner’s mom wasn’t in his life, she disappeared pretty quickly after he was born, and he always felt like his father resented him from taking away that freedom from him.

He’d never completely seen eye to eye with his dad, in fact, his dad didn’t have much time for him, but they could relate on one thing and that was their love for the disciples. He felt like he could prove himself to his Dad if he managed to gain respect in the Disciples and so that’s what he did. However, his father was killed and he never got the opportunity to prove himself to the other. 

He tries to avoid getting too close to people, in fear that he might lose them too. He’s happy to enjoy people’s company, but when he feels himself beginning to care too much about them he pulls away. The exception to this is certain people he regards as close friends, though he’ll occasionally be distant with them too. 

Loves his bikes, if he’s not working for the Disciples, then he’s working on his bike. 

Is an expert at weapons, that’s how he got his nickname.

m b t i   :   ENFP

imaginative and original, these individuals are often very artistic, even in appearance.

may not be up front about all her cards, tends to keep them close to her chest, despite being such an open personality. in her art pieces that haven’t been forged to make a bit of each cash for her and her family, one might be able to see the sorrows, passion and stories painted on a canvas.

she’s very creative and likes to dabble in a bit of everything. she has her own fashion sense, paints based off the world around her, and lives in the moment looking for her next source of inspiration.

she is loyal to her friends no matter what, but she does occasionally get her feelings hurt easily. but when her feelings are hurt, she doesn’t talk about it. she simply states she’s upset and walks away until the problem is fixed. or never speaks of it again. hoping for water under the bridge. 

pandora states things in very matter-of-fact ways.

she has a hard time letting go of people and will associate them with other things in order to feel their presence again. she has a good memory for details.

pandora obtains pretty good people skills from the years of working at her father’s store... now her brother’s store. not to mention how her personality blends well with children from the positive ways in which she clings to when in their presence to make sure they all see the glass half full and purposely to let them hold on to their innocents for as long as they can in a town like Charming.

not big on confrontation in the slightest but will throw hands if she feels she needs to. 

always content with life. 

q u i c k   i n f o   .

Pandora happens to be the baby of the Marino family, the apple of her father’s eye and the ghostly smile on her mother’s lips whenever the blonde happened to be around with that all said it is easy to guess life was much easier on her. Free from not having to live up to family obligations, giving her the freedom to go down the path of art instead of the stable route of college. 

Her parents have always been her biggest fans in her art works since the day she picked up a paint brush.

Giovanni would always note how much she remind him of his mother in looks where as her personality a lot like her mother in peak of her youth. Never did she take it well, not wanting to be a knock off nor having the expectations of trying to live up to either of the women in her family as she never wants to disappoint them. 

When her father passed away four years ago, Pandora found herself at a crossroads of trying to still discover herself and wanting to keep his memory alive but how does one keep the dead alive without some strange experiment. So, she was lost, a drift in this crazy world. And has never truly unearthed who she’s supposed to be which means re-creating herself monthly almost.

Clearing out the attic once not long after her father passed away, she found a box of her father’s old sketch books and there she sat in the dust filled attic and the torch light travelling over fine detail. This was the staple in her life, by continuing with art, her father would never truly die as he’ll live through her in every art piece. In this time in the attic, may it been the age dust she inhaled went to her head, she started to copy works of art from the one book that was in the box of her father’s things. 

It would’ve been two solid years until she was able to re-create famous artworks down to the paints or even the paintbrushes used, technique flawless that it started to get her attention from buyers and one of her older siblings stepped in to help her out in being the front in a sense for the replicas. Rerouting money transfers from America, Germany and many other countries before stopping in Italy or where the trail goes cold. Because rich snobs deserve to be conned out of their money.

BACKGROUND

Grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada to parents who were both dealers at one of the major casinos.

Showed a gift for knowledge at an early age, but especially math and was ten when he took over the family finances. 

The intelligence he had, caused him to be bullied at school but Robert quickly skipped some grades, due to the levels in an age appropriate class not being high enough. 

Started martial arts aged twelve, to be able to defend himself from bullies.

Graduated high school at fifteen and instead of attending college, his parents got him involved with betting on underground fights, due to his physical and mental skills. 

By age eighteen his parents lived a lush life, but Rob was unhappy with them abusing his cleverness for their own gain, while he was doing all the work. 

He took some of the money he had made and left his family high and dry. Started attending college classes, while keeping up with his betting. 

When one of the mob families in Vegas caught wind of his business, they gave him an ultimatum. Either set up shop as an illegal bookmaker for them, or end his days on this earth.

After a few years of playing bookie for the mob, Robert felt extremely unfulfilled and unhappy. In his state of depression, the man escaped from Nevada to California. Staying under the radar in every possible way. 

When he got to Charming, he was first lured by the idea of hiding in a small town and after staying a while, Rob learned more about the gang and MC, knowing that if there ever was a place he could be safe, it was Charming. 

Started hanging around the MC who joked around about his smarts, but never blatantly made fun of him. 

Prospected at twenty-five and became the secretary for the Disciples after a while, due to it being the most logical choice. 

PERSONALITY

Enjoys reading and learning new things. That’s how he became a mechanic. Reading the books and teaching himself, but also from learning from some of the other Disciples. 

Is a good teacher, when it’s something he’s passionate about and doesn’t mind sharing his knowledge. 

Very outgoing, but tends to need time alone at his house to recharge his  batteries every now and then. 

Loves quiet time with a book or numbers. 

Loyal but I think that’s a given, since he’s part of an MC.

CONNECTIONS

FELLOW DISCIPLES  —  Both those he has a great friendship with, but also those who just tolerate each other. 

FLINGS  —  One night stands, flirtationships, friends with benefits. Everything like that!

NEIGHBORS  —  Robert lives in a house and I imagine he might have some neighbors who he gets along with (or maybe doesnt?)

MUTUAL DISLIKE  —  Someone who he can’t stand and who can’t stand him.

FELLOW SCHOLARS  —  Other people who enjoy knowledge and learning new things.

Biography

Everyone calls her Nikki. She goes by her stripper name while at Mayhem Maidens- Diamond. It was just her and her grandmother as she grew up in Charming. She really had no other family. She built herself an extended family with the friends she grew up and bonded with. Her grandmother was a florist and Nikki learned all about plants, flowers, and taking care of them from her. She helped her grandmother out with arrangements and the like all throughout high school.

Her grandmother unexpectedly passed away and it absolutely crushed Nikki. She’d never felt more alone in the world. It left her feeling completely paralyzed. She didn’t know how to go on. She was in so much despair that just to try and get her out of it, a friend offered her some cocaine. It was the start of something that would have a hold on Nikki for over a decade.

(tw: drug addiction) She had used all sorts of drugs and the feel short feeling of ecstasy they left her with was a feeling she continually chased. First she needed that high to mask the grief she felt and then she needed it to stop herself from feeling bad that all her friends had gone on with their lives and she was at a standstill. Then she needed it just so she wouldn’t have to think about how her life had spiraled out of control. With her addiction and the Wicked Wolves supplying drugs, it was easy for her to begin stripping at Mayhem Maidens. Half her paychecks would just go right back to them with the amount of drugs she purchased. Plus she enjoyed the owning of her sexuality in that way. She loved to watch the faces of those who’d be enamored with her as she danced for them.

(tw: overdose mention) It was after the town shooting that she reached her absolutely rock bottom. She got a bad batch of drugs from the rival gang that had visited Charming and she overdosed on them. Lucky for her, a friend of hers was stopping by to check on her or Nikki wouldn’t be around right now. She was finally convinced that she should probably go to rehab and get herself together.

That was 3 months ago and now she’s back in Charming with a new hair color and cut. She kept her job at Mayhem because the money was too good, but she also took a job at Flor Amor. Working with flowers made her happy and having two jobs kept her busy. She knew she was probably tempting fate by working at Mayhem still, but she wasn’t ready to give it up. She’s putting on a brave face, but underneath it all she still feels like the same damaged girl she’d become.

Personality

She loves her circle of friends more than anything in the world. They are her family. She would do anything for them and she’s deathly scared of them all leaving her.

You can usually hear Nikki before you see her. She’s loud and boisterous with a laugh that would put a smile on anyone’s face.

She’s always down to have fun and for a good time.

She’s very flirty with everyone and doesn’t always think before she speaks.

That seemingly open and honest bravado she has is just there to truly hide how lost she really feels on the inside.

Wanted Connections

Friends (a wide range of friend connections from childhood best friends to the friend that introduced her to drugs, people she’s had a falling out with because of her habit, person who saved her life)

Exes (gimme the angst pls and thanks)

BASICS ; 

age: 39. occupation: manager of mayhem maidens. affiliation: wicked wolves. relationship status: single. sexuality: pansexual.

BACKGROUND INFO ;

avery’s parents were immigrants, who moved to the states from south korea before she was born, to start their own business. with how saturated k-town was, they decided to pack up and move somewhere else, which is when they stumbled upon Charming. despite their restaurant being well-liked and having amazing food, it didn’t take long for the place to go under, especially after avery was born.

her mother and father struggled for a long time, and by the time she was a teenager, avery had two jobs to try and help support her family. it was clear they didn’t have much money, and this caused kids in school to pick on her- all except for one; cliff kilman. he was like a protector of sorts and one of the few people that showed avery kindness, and soon enough, she was calling him her boyfriend. she could remember the nights she was hungry and he would bring her over to his house for dinner, his mother quick to accept another spot at their table with open arms and a kind smile. the woman treated avery with such a gentle kindness, one her own mother had never really shown her, that the young girl quickly grew attached.

it was after cliff’s mother died that things changed, not just for their relationship, but for the two of them as individuals as well. it was rare that cliff would allow avery to be there for him after the passing of his mother and soon their relationship became so strained that words were barely spoken. this hurt avery, because she had grown extremely close to cliff’s mother and regarded her as her pseudo- jangmo (장모), showing the woman the love and respect of a mother.

once cliff left, avery was shattered, since she had told him before she would go anywhere with him- leave this place behind, but instead he left her behind too. it was a short while after this rough patch in her life, that she fell into the lap of the wicked wolves. the gang hadn’t been around that long, but the twenty year old was ambitious and desperate for cash. she started off as just a lackey- someone that did anything the wolves asked and gave whatever was needed, but she soon proved herself and what she was capable of. with a sweet aura and a kind voice, holding drugs for deals was easy for the inconspicuous avery and soon she was making enough money to help pay for her family’s needs.

these days she has moved up a lot, and is no longer a lapdog, but instead manages at the mayhem maidens, and keeps the girls there in check. she doesn’t really get attached anymore, her life seems to only have room for occasional flings, but anything past that is a no-go for avery. she has been closed off for a long time, and while she tells herself it isn’t because of some high school sweetheart, deep down inside, she knows it is.

CONNECTIONS ; 

cousin(s): would have come from k-town to stay with avery and her family and now she has to keep them out of trouble.

best friend(s): the only people she is truly close to and opens up to anymore. they know the soft, goofy side of her, that other people don’t get to see.

enemies: i love me some angst, okay? gimme gimme! could be gang rivals, or just people that don’t like avery.
