✖ WHO ARE THEY -- WHAT BRINGS THEM TO THE SOUTHSIDE? ↴

early life wasn’t easy for the boy born on april first with the name of dominic lotus hawthorne, an unfortunate mistake ironically born on the day of the fools, april’s fools. his parents couldn’t be any more SURPRISED when they found out his mother, elizabeth liane hawthorne was pregnant at the age of eighteen, even though they shouldn’t for they repetitively lacked the better judgment to resort to the usage of a condom ; his father, carlos henrique de albuquerque, of portuguese nationality and only a couple years older, wasn’t too stoked about having a baby boy either but, unlike his long-term girlfriend, was willing to put an effort into raising this child correctly. howsoever, with dominic’s birth, this sudden spark of enthusiasm soon died as the both of them aimed to cherish their last years as free and wild young adults, leaving dominic at the care of the maid that accompanied carlos’ family into the states, due to their almost unbearable living situation back home. 

the parties, drinks and all the shenanigans that came with endless night outs began to become ordinary for this couple, so they figure it was finally time to settle down and start a family, from SCRATCH, with a well planned pregnancy filled with all the joy and eagerness carlos and elizabeth could manage. only nine months later, a perfectly healthy girl named aster, after the bright and blossoming purple flower, was born. soon enough the five year old boy, who himself had a flower for a second name due to his mother’s occupation as a florist (aside from the casual drug deals), began noticing he was an outcast, a disposable misfortune, and just the way they looked at aster was enough to prove it. if it weren’t for the nanny, maria joão mendes, he wouldn’t be the MAN he is today. she taught him values, how to be tough and endure any hardship/difficulty, how to always be the best he can be and aim for the highest towers.  this family was never rich but neither did they struggle with the bills, or any little extras they could manage      well, that until carlos’ family decided to stop lending them money they were bound to never get back, pulling the rug from under the four albuquerque’s feet. at some point, the banter between eliza and carlos, the drug addict and the alcoholic, was so aggressive and intolerable that the couple joined the statistics and filed for a divorce, the NASTIEST kind you can possibly fathom. it took eliza a year of endless court reunions to win both her kids, even if, out of the both of them, she was the least capable to raise them alone. as if this whole MESS wasn’t enough, a sixteen years old dominic was obliged to delete his father’s last name from his ID for her mom wanted nothing to do with the man ever again, swearing to be capable of ANYTHING to keep her kids from seeing carlos ever again. luckily for the pariah of this soap opera, the maid left the albuquerque’s house for good and followed the hawthorne’s as they settled at the southside, on a dangerous and conflicted yet cheap neighborhood of chicago. young, bright and naive dom, filled with nothing but dreams, hopes and good intention was completely DESTROYED, ripped from his innocence by the emotional detachment and lack of love he received from his parents, act he not only despises but resents wholeheartedly, and that has scarred him for life. fortunately the male found an ESCAPE from all this ache, by teaching himself how to play the guitar (with maria’s help, though he’ll never admit it), perfecting his portuguese (also with maria’s help) and becoming the best hacker in the city of chicago. but hacking is surely a felony, one not taken lightly when performed exquisitely like he does and even the best get CAUGHT, fact he was about to experience first hand, at the age of nineteen, if it weren’t for a computer company that took him under their wing, promising to pay for his higher studies if he straightened his act and agreed to work as an intern, in exchange for a small salary. quite the irresistible offer isn’t it?  nowadays, he’s still staying at eliza’s       whom he considers nothing but a land lord, scolding everyone who takes her as anything but       with his sister aster, who just turned nineteen, and who he keeps an eye out for despite how much he claims to disdain her. hopefully, this living situation will change in the near future since he’s about to finish his studies and has a predetermined job at the company he currently works at as an intern cyber-engineer, for when he does so ; the twenty four year old already has a little apartment in mind.

"fuckin’ hell, i don’t think i’ve ever been asked somethin’ so heard in m’life. i mean, most of all i’m MYSELF, my own person       i don’t follow trends, nor let society rule how i think or act. i do what the fuck i want and i HONESTLY couldn’t give less of a shit about what people think of me, but i always crave to be the best at what i do, no matter what it is. i come from the rock bottom, and thought i was losing my mind too many times to count, but i’m rising up and one day i’ll get outta this shit whole with pockets full of cash and a career to envy. i’m a bit of a PARADOX, i either care too much or too little, am too interested or too nonchalant, too quite or too loud, too friendly or quite the villain. i tend to only show my true colors to those dear to my heart, because otherwise i’ll do and be ANYTHING to achieve my goals. i’m a lil’ FUCKED UP, but hey      at least i ain’t boring, m’i right?

born on august second nineteen-ninety-four, ellis brooks was one half. he arrived two minutes & thirty-three seconds after his twin brother hudson brooks. they were born in the royal victoria infirmary, newcastle, england to criminally deviant parents – their mother was a crook; she stole to fund both her own & their fathers alcohol habit. the twins were raised { not very well } by themselves until they were ten; their parents would leave them for days on end to fend for themselves whilst they got drunk beyond no return – both ellis & hudson learned very quickly how to fend for themselves. despite not even being able to raise the children they had, their parents decided it was best to bring another child into the world. in two-thousand-four, franco brooks was born. their parents never changed; the twins were often found taking care of the baby, despite being children themselves. in two-thousand-five, june second, their parents had been gone for over a week; it was nothing out of the ordinary, however. but a neighbour had noticed – the first time in eleven years anybody had. the police were called, alongside social services. before the authorities could reach the twins however, their parents returned in a rush & boarded them on the first flight possible; chicago.  

It took weeks; nigh months for them to find somewhere to live. they stayed in hotels; their parents scamming the companies to ensure they didn’t have to pay a thing. but after raising { stealing } enough money, they managed to get visa’s, & became somewhat american citizens. his parents were the biggest liability, & yet they went on to have another four kids; joey, ophelia, riley & octavia. three days after the birth of their youngest sister however, their mothers body shut down entirely. Between all the children, the alcohol & the drugs, it just stopped working, & she passed away. ellis was eighteen at the time & he wished he could’ve found it in him to care, he just couldn’t. if anything it could’ve made things better – his mother was never any good for him anyway. it didn’t make thing better, however. quite the opposite. they were left with dean, their alcohol reliable father { who’s addiction only got worse after the passing of their mother } & five young siblings to take care of. it didn’t take long for ellis to get to grips with it, though – he found himself caring more & more for his siblings as the days went on – he was determined utterly & completely to give them a better life than he’d had. now, two years later, he practically fathers them – they are his kids, in his eyes.

ellis graduated high school but never got anything from it, & for a long time he focused on the kids, trying to cope with dean & developed a passion for fitness. he built muscle; he built an incredible bod. he got a job last year in a local coffee shop. the pay wasn’t brilliant  – it was enough to get by, to be able to raise his kids, though – however, the stress of his entire life began crashing down on him around a year ago, & ellis found a way of coping: skipping meals. nobody noticed, not at first. it wasn’t until he began going to the gym multiple times per day & losing more & more weight that people began to question it – first it was robyn, his best friend, & then spencer & dominic – those three were his closest friends at the time & two still are; he however isn’t on good terms with dominic at the moment. His twin, his rock, was signed to a modelling agency -- & that caused his eating to spiral even more out of control. it was in july two-thousand-fifteen that he was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa; however to this day only robyn knows of his official diagnosis. hudson’s success made ellis feel incredibly insecure & upon his twins return, it has been noted that his incredibly poorly; hudson is doing everything in his power to make ellis gain weight & eat. He has it in his head however that he deserves to hurt – partly because he doesn’t think hes doing too good of a job raising his five siblings; he never realised how difficult it would be to do alone { he’d always had hudson until recently } – his fight with his best friend dominic didn’t help either; the boy had been sleeping with robyn & ellis didn’t like it one bit – dominic took advantage of his weaknesses & one day found a new one; ellis is pansexual, but closeted. dominic saw ellis & spencer having sex & videoed it; he’s been blackmailing ellis with the video ever since. ellis was always raised to believe that being gay was wrong, & so he doesn’t want to admit it. honestly right now ellis is a mess, & everyone knows it. however he’s trying his absolute hardest to focus on his kids, his job & ignoring his own problems.

I ain’t in fuckin’ denial about anything – I’m FINE. I mean, I’m six foot three, british & there’s two of us – irresistible. what do I like? eh, sex. the gym. weed. honestly I spend most of me time workin’ or looking after the kids.

I’m a bit of a fuckin’ twat – but I’m a nice twat, see? like, I wont kill you. unless you give us reason to, like.

I wanted to fuck you & I did, get out of me fuckin’ house. another thing that pisses us off: anyone who fucks with the kids, or robyn or anyone who I actually can fuckin’ tolerate. fuck with them & you’re fuckin’ with us; I aint someone you wanna fuck with. I may be someone you wanna fuck. but I definitely aint someone you wanna fuck with. look this is boring us now – fuck off, will ya? basically all you need to know is I’ve got a big dick & I make good coffee. that’s all.”
