name: brandon alexander callahan (jr) nickname: brando, b age & dob: 30 b. november 17th birthplace: manhattan, new york, new york current residence: denver, colorado positive traits: charming, observant, intelligent, confident negative traits: self-centered, impulsive, blunt, unyielding zodiac: scorpio ☀ aquarius ☽ libra ↗ pets: balinese cat named ghost family: [dad] brandon alexander callahan (sr) - 58 [mom] elise diane robichaud-callahan - 52 [younger sister], [younger sister]

i n f o.

the oldest of three kids, brandon alexander callahan had his life mapped for him from the very beginning. born to a very wealthy and well-known new york family, his father already had a corner on the hedge fund and investment banking world, and his mother was a well respected and well loved philanthropist. when brandon entered the picture everyone treated it as though the heir had arrived. raised mostly by nannies and tutors, life in the callahan household was anything but the typical american family. it didn't take long for brandon to figure out he didn't want the path that his parents had so carefully mapped out for him. when they wanted business classes he wanted sports. if not for the fact that he was a pretty gifted hockey player and still aced all of his tests, there might have been more pushback. it was an opening and brandon planned on seizing it until he had a career ending injury not long after being drafted into the nhl. losing out on his dream was a soulcrusher. his parents pushed for him to immediately hop in with the family business but he spent a couple of years lazing about, spending his daddy's money and getting involved with anyone who would give him the time of day. eventually, he returned to school, albeit reluctantly. feeling the empty hollow of loneliness and nothing to really pass the time but meaningless hookups, he had nothing better to do. after graduating with honors, he was rapidly promoted up the ladder at his father's company, much to the chagrin of the other workers. nepotism at its finest. most days he still lazes about and spends his father's money but he does it from denver where he’s meant to be heading up a new branch of the firm. and if he calls out of work or pretends to work from home more often than not? well, that's his dad's problem, not his.

BIO//

TW: Mild (Non-Descriptive) Transphobia Rowan Gawain was born second, ten minutes after her fraternal twin brother. She was born male but from a very early age, Rowan knew she was meant to be a girl. She wore dresses, collected dolls, and even did dance classes with the other girls in her class.

Her father never understood and was against Rowan doing "girly" things, but with the support of her mother and brother, Rowan accepted herself as a trans female at the age of fifteen. She saved every penny she earned for the next five years, so when she was twenty, she was able to afford the bottom surgery to have her gender assignment changed to be what she always wanted.

Rowan moved to Denver to attend university, where she obtained a degree in business. She intended to return home after, but opportunity knocked. She'd been working at a dog training business and the owner was going to sell. He offered to sell to her, and Rowan didn't hesitate to take out the loan. She's owned Harmony's Learning Academy for the last four years, and she's built her business with more than obedience training and she now trains dogs for show.

Hi there, here’s the intro for Eli, and if you’re wishing to plot with him, feel free! And same goes for any starters posted, you’re more than welcome to establish connections. Enough of my blabber, here’s Eli.

Eli was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY.

He was closer to his mother than his father, and it was mostly because she was around for most of his development. His father would often work nights for an internet security business, and so it lead to him not being around during the day aside from walking into the house when Eli was waking up in the morning. Eli’s mother was a work-from-home coder for a hospital, and was around as a support system for Eli, and she could sense he wasn’t exactly getting the right amount of attention from his father, and so she did what she could to make his life better. Whenever she could talk to her husband, she would attempt to bring up her husband’s lack of care and lack of being around but he would often ignore it and never try to change for the better.

During his childhood, he found solace in art. His drawing skills were what he put most of his emotions into. It was his therapy and he found himself drawn to crowds in school dedicated to art. It was his way to avoid his family issues.

Growing up, he started to rebel against his father due to the lack of attention he had from him. It grew to the point of once he was sixteen he was dreaming up ways to get him out of his life forever and one of those ways was moving away. Ways he decided to rebel against his dad were waiting until he got home to start arguments, staying out late with his friends, and hanging around bad influences which he saw as good influences. Those friends got him into stick and poke tattoos, and later on he had dreams to create beautiful works of art and tattoo them on people. He often researched how to get a tattoo apprenticeship and later become a reputable artist.

Which Eli later decided to pursue his dream to leave at the age of eighteen, and he decided to live in his car for quite a while while he was trying to gather stable ground and start over in a new place. He moved all over the states before finding Denver.

He headed to Denver about a year later after hearing from a few people he met along the way saying it could be a great place for a new start. And he decided to head that way.

He found a few opportunities to become a tattoo apprentice and he gladly took one of them and decided to work up the ladder to later on open his own tattoo studio five years down the line. 

This is all I have for now, but I have a few wanted connections for Eli:

Tattoo artists he’s friends with

Tattoo artists he’s not friends with (maybe enemies/competition?)

Partners in crime

Good influence

Friends with benefits

Honestly anything????

TW: Death, Car Accident, Drunk Driver

Jaehyun grew up on a small farm with his parents both being the caretakers of the property. He considered his childhood to be some of the best memories with them. As he too would go out there and assist with feeding the animals and maintaining the horses. Though when the boy hit the age of fourteen, that happiness and his quaint life was taken right from his grasp. His parents had been hit by a drunk driver while heading towards a small family gathering. His father was killed on impact where as his mother survived on a ventilator but was brain dead. A few days later Jaehyun’s family made the tough choice of taking her off of life support. It was then decided that Jaehyun would go stay with his aunt, who instead of living in the countryside lived in the big city. 

Of course when he moved there it was totally different than anything he was familiar with. It was like stepping out of a time machine and into a brand new environment. Due to that he had hardly any friends, except for that of a girl named Jasmine. She reminded him of home which is something that brought him immense comfort. This girl grew into the woman that he fell in love with, soon after having Nari with. Unfortunately she had complications from giving birth and did not survive labor. That left him and Nari to live out without her, leaving Jaehyun devastated. The boy felt like she was the only one that ever tried to understand him. 

Now Nari is four years old, already beginning to ask questions about her mom. To which Jaehyun is unsure how to really answer her most of the time. The boy is still torn up all these years later, something that he feels should be long in the past at this point. Yet due to her passing, he’s almost afraid to fall for anyone again. Plus the fact that he had Nari to worry about with whoever he decided to date one day. She was his priority and would always come before anyone else.

EXTRAS

Highly self conscious and often second guesses himself.

Definitely going to be a pto dad once Nari is in elementary school.

Gives away free baked goods to those in need and his friends

BIO//

TW: Art Crimes, White-Collar Crimes

Born in Manhattan, New York, Casey Callaghan grew up in a small loft apartment with his mother, Maura Callaghan. He never knew his father, grew up only knowing that he’d died. Maura worked as an assistant curator at one of the smaller galleries in Manhattan. They didn’t have a lot, but they got by.

Casey met Carter Collingswood in middle school. The two became friends by circumstances after being sat next to each other in alphabetical seating. They would likely not have become friends otherwise, as Carter came from money, while Casey attended the private school on scholarship. But they became friends early, and grew into best friends quickly. The two stayed friends into college, where their friendship morphed into a relationship. They’ve been together since, although their relationship is far from public. They rarely mention each other as partners except with people they truly feel they can trust.

Casey, like his mother, loved art. He loved art so much that he went to school to learn to paint and to learn history. He thought that he might become a painter like that hung in the halls of his mother’s gallery. After he graduated, his mother hung a few of his original pieces in the gallery in hopes that he might generate interest.

However, Casey’s personal style requires a certain audience, an audience that the gallery did not have. His work went over incredibly poorly, so poorly that the gallery owner nearly fired his mother for putting his art in his gallery. That blow crippled Casey’s desire to have his own work in galleries and museums.

Determined as he was to help his mother with the bills, Casey took up painting copies of masterpieces to sell on the streets of Times Square. Eventually, Casey realised he had a knack for imitating others’ style. So he took it up a notch, creating realistic forgeries to sell at a higher price.

Casey took to his new life easily. He stayed with his mother for a time, until he knew the risks were too great and struck out on his own. As time passed, he amassed various safe houses, and while they were mostly warehouse storage units with stashed funds and art. Casey created a small empire for himself, sending funds to his mother when he had the opportunity.

Recently, Casey had a close brush with law enforcement, forcing him underground. He fled to one of his safe houses in Denver, extracting his funds and masquerading as a wealthy tourist. He’s planning on staying here only as long as it takes for the heat to die down. Until then, who knows?

Wanted Connections//

Friendships  (Casey is charming when he wants to be. He can easily make friendly connections with people around him.)

Enemies (Casey, at the heart of it, is a criminal. Granted, he’s a white-collar criminal, but should anyone find out, they might dislike him for that.)

BIO//

TW: Death of Parents

Fane grew up in Bay Ridge in Brooklyn. Growing up near the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, he spent his time as a kid and young teenager exploring the area in Bay Ridge and Staten Island.

Fane experienced various cultures, and it ignited a lifelong love of a variety of food. He’s always loved food, and he’s always eaten a ton of it. When he was sixteen, he was diagnosed with a hypermetabolism, which explained why he ate so much food but never seemed to gain weight.

Fane’s love of music also began at an early age. He received piano lessons as soon as he was old enough to sit at the piano and actually play. Piano lessons eventually moved into guitar lessons, which moved into bass lessons, which branched off into both violin and cello. Fane has taught himself to play several wind instruments, including trumpet, saxophone and clarinet.

When he was eighteen, both of his parents were killed in a car accident, leaving Fane alone as the legal guardian of his sister. Being eighteen, Fane wasn’t required to go into any kind of foster system, and since the rest of their family is in Ireland, he was left to raise the ten-year-old child alone. Officially, he still owns his parents’ townhouse but currently resides in Colorado for work.

B A C K S T O R Y

born & raised in good ol’ chi town–never left, at least not for long. loves it here immensely, couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. mom was a clerk at a local publishing house and dad worked in construction after he finished his tour of duty as an army man. her older brother was a detective in the chicago police department, but more on him later.

mother ran out on the family when nic was eight for her boss, head of the publishing company that she worked for. didn’t even bother to say goodbye–just up and left without a word. her dad was heartbroken and left to support his two kids alone, something he was not prepared for.

see, her dad always wanted sons not daughters, so nic’s surprise arrival was nothing short of a nightmare for him. of course he loved his daughter, but he didn’t have any sisters of his own and had never grown up around women. so he kind of, pushed her into more stereotypical masculine things, as a way for him to not have to worry about raising her any differently. sure there were moments of pure panic for him (hello, time of the month) but he seemed to be pleased with himself.

meanwhile, nic could tell that she was definitely the least favorite child. her brother was always the golden boy and her father spend exponentially more time with him than he ever did with her. however, that didn’t mean that her brother and her didn’t have a good relationship.

nic was often teased growing up because she didn’t have a mom and came from a lower ses part of town. so her brother became her closest friend and she adored him. she looked up to him, tried to be like him. she thought she might get her father to love her if she succeeded.

but the difference was that everyone liked her brother–he was calm, organized and confident. nic, on the other hand, was plucky and sassy and seemed to crave chaos in a way her brother never did. she wouldn’t ever be like him, and it kind of broke her heart to know her father would never be proud of her. so she did her own thing, made a life for herself that wasn’t always emulating her older brother. she was determined to get her life right, the way she was convinced her dad hadn’t.

however, she and her brother were still very close and they’d often have a meal together at least once a week. he’d regale her with stories of his time at the department, and she–working as a beat cop on a completely different schedule–enjoyed giving him a hard time about what he could have or should have done. it was a rather happy time in her life–one she enjoyed for many reasons.

(tw: death, gun violence) but, y’know, life isn’t happy for long. on a cool spring evening, her brother was walking home from weekly dinner with nic. he had taken a longer route than usual because he wanted to enjoy the finally warmer air of the city. as he made his way home, he heard rustling in an alleyway and assumed it as a cat stuck in a cardboard box–turns out it as not, and with a flash of light and a louder bang, her brother was no longer with us.

when nic found out, she was distraught. broken. her whole world felt shattered and the person she needed the most–her husband–had decided to go off and sleep with some other woman, leaving her even more devastated. so nic’s life had kinda crashed and burned in one fell swoop.

the only reasonable thing to do is, of course, honor her brother by becoming a detective …except her father is none too pleased with this idea and, in one of their famous fights, tells her that “girls can’t do that job.” turns out, that is not what you say to a stubborn, grieving woman because that just makes her do it more. truly though, her father was just terrified he’d lose her too but once again, he wasn’t good with his emotions and couldn’t express that.

so nic became detective nicolette rogers to honor her brother. her new role gave her the seperation she needed from the pain of both losing her father and brother and, perhaps for the first time in her life, finally flt.

H E A D C A N N O N S

important note: nicolette never goes by her full name–it’s nic or anything else, but never, ever nicolette.

she is the biggest fan of chicago sports–catch her cheering for the cubbies all day long. and don’t forget da bears.

her last meal would include: a chicago dog from wrigley field with a baja blast and white cheddar popcorn. and probably a slice of cheesecake for desert.

nic loves helping people–it is why she originally started working in the police force to begin with. even now, as a detective, she goes does the youth education program, going into schools and doing workshops for the students in the local school districts (think detective jj bittenbinder but…significantly less creepy).

her favorite show is–yes, cliche but she’s ok with that–brooklyn 99 and she absolutely adores amy santiago.

she rides a motorbike mostly because she likes the wind waving in her hair.

but don’t get her confused–she’s the biggest dork you’ll ever met, loves people and adores babies, and will help literally anyone who asks. her hearts a little…shredded at the moment but she does her best to be good.
