Description:

They met when Lizzie was studying to be a nurse in Edinburgh, he’d been studying criminology & policing at the very same university and the two of them hit it off instantly. It wasn’t long before they were an item and Ben seemed to fit in perfectly with Lizzie’s family, becoming fast friends with her cousin, who was already a police officer. The pair of them moved down to London after Lizzie graduated to be closer to Ben’s family for a spell, already seeing a future together, him taking up a post at Scotland Yard alongside Liz’s cousin who at some point made a move south too. 

A few years pass, and a happy little accident happens and Ben and Lizzie welcome a daughter, Isobel Evans, into the world. But it only takes a few weeks more for tragedy to strike. While Liz is still off on maternity leave, Ben is involved in an incident that places him in the line of fire while on the job, escaping injury or worse only after intervention from Lizzie’s cousin who wasn’t so lucky himself. The entire affair leaves Lizzie with misplaced guilt, feeling as though her cousin only took such drastic actions, only got hurt, because of Ben being Lizzie’s boyfriend... the couple only last a few months more before Liz breaks up with him. She’s never blamed him for it. Only ever herself.

Little does Lizzie know Ben was on the take and had been tangled up with the very criminals that injured her cousin, the guilt she feels already over the entire incident eats her up enough but she still tries her best to co-parent with Ben. She grew up without her father in the picture. She doesn’t want the same for baby Issy. 

[ ROXANNE SCARSDALE @rscarsdale ] is after their [ PARTNER IN CRIME / LOVE INTEREST ] the description say they’re around [ 32+ ] and look like [ GLEN POWELL, ALDIS HODGE, BEN BARNES, DANIEL HENNEY, LUKE PASQUALINO, JD PARDO, MANNY MONTANA, UP TO PLAYER ].

All you need to know is: While Rox is an associate, and thus isn’t as actively involved with the crime as some are, y/m is the complete opposite. They always manage to get into trouble, and when they first met 7 years ago (before Rox became officially affiliated with the Command but was dealing weapons small time) due to y/m needing some sort of weapon, a friendship bloomed. Ever since, Rox has either been the bailout or the one to help patch y/m up…and visa versa if she can’t stand by in an unfair bar fight. Feelings have begun to develop, so how long can they pretend it’s totally platonic between them? (Since they would’ve met before Rox became affiliated with the Command, they don’t have to be necessarily associated with them, but they absolutely can!) Affiliation, occupation, personality & background are all utp!

[ STEVIE RIZZOLI @stcvieisms ] is after their [ BABY DADDY / FWB ] the description say they’re around [ 25-27 ] and look like [ AVAN JOGIA,  JORDAN FISHER, CHARLES MELTON, GRAHAM PHILLIPS, UP TO PLAYER ].

All you need to know is:

stevie and baby daddy have known each other since they were babies. their mothers were best friends so they grew up together. they started fooling around when they were too young to be fooling around and stevie gave birth to their daughter matilda when she was 15. they've always been best friends, but have never been in a relationship. they've had a friends with benefits thing going on since they were young, and they've always been great with co-parenting. of course all parents have their disagreements when it comes to raising children, but they usually find a compromise that works for both of them. there's no real set schedule, but typically, matilda spends a week with mom and a week with dad, and they usually just get together for holidays like a little happy family. over the years, stevie's fallen head over heels in love with baby daddy, but she's never said anything because she scared he won't feel the same way back and she's terrified of the heart break, and she's worried he'd ask her to quit her job (she's an escort) if they were to ever be in a relationship.

[ STEVIE RIZZOLI @stcvieisms ] is after their [ TWIN SISTER ] the description say they’re around [ 25 ] and look like [ ARIANA GRANDE (for identical), GABI DEMARTINO, AMANDA ARCURI, ANYONE THAT FITS (for fraternal) ].

[ BLUE NAVARRO @gccsebvmps ] is after their [ HALF SISTER   ] the description say they’re around [ 25-30] and look like [ ELIZABETH LAIL, SHAY MITCHELL, MEGAN FOX, UTP]

All you need to know is: Both Blue and her sister grew up in the limelight, due to their famous family. While Blue has always ran away from the spotlight, her sister has ran towards it. She is an aspiring actress, but her career is mostly drowned out by their mother’s phenomenal success and Blue’s infamous history in the tabloids. These two sisters find themselves in the same city for completely different reasons. It may be a good an excuse to finally  bond after a lifetime of being practically strangers. Or it might be the perfect opportunity to stay the hell out of each other’s lives.

[ LUCKY MOORE @gccsebvmps ] is after their [  HALF SISTER  ] the description say they’re around [ 28-32] and look like [ZAZIE BEETZ, BRITTANY O’GRADY, ZOE KRAVITZ, UTP. ].

Growing up, things weren’t always easy or safe, so the two siblings always kept an eye out for each other. When Lucky was sixteen, he and their stepfather got into one of their frequent physical altercations. However, when things went too far, and his sister began to fear for Lucky’s life. In the heat of the moment, she grabbed the gun they kept in the home and shot their stepfather dead. After the shooting, the two siblings went on the run. Due to Lucky’s connections, they found themselves in New York City. Ten years have passed since the murder and the two haven’t been seen by their hometown friends and family since. They haven’t even spoken to their mother. While Lucky has been living it up for the last ten years, his sister may have had different feelings as the years have passed. After all, it was her who pulled the trigger.

[ BLUE NAVARRO @gccsebvmps] is after their [ ASSISTANT  ] the description say they’re around [ 23-28] and look like [ SAORISE RONAN, MAYA HAWKE, ZOEY DEUTCH, UTP].

All you need to know is:  This muse has been Blue’s assistant for the last two years. She is the Robin to Blue’s Batman. Whatever hole she has in her soul from having a nonexistent relationship with her sister is replaced by her relationship with her assistant. Though, she’s on the payroll, she might be Blue’s best friend. They are two peas in a pod.  After her father gets sick, Blue relocates from Los Angeles to New York City to be closer to him, and her assistant comes along. As Blue dives deeper into her story about the city’s gangs violence, her assistant follows her down, but only so far. She has to draw a line at some point, right?

[ BLUE NAVARRO @gccsebvmps ] is after their [ EX BOYFRIEND ] the description say they’re around [ 33 - 36] and look like [ ADAM DRIVER, MILES TELLER, PENN BADGLEY UTP ].

All you need to know is:  Being a child of a world famous actress, Blue grew up living her entire life in the limelight. However, this ex boyfriend of hers wasn’t used to all the attention. He was the bad boy she dated in her late teens through her early twenties. Their tumultuous relationship made headlines in the tabloids during Blue’s longest and most damaging stint on the media circuit. His once private life was made public, whether he liked it or not. The media really played up the bad boy narrative, but it was partially true, as he was/is a member of one of the gangs (preferably either The Command or The Control - this was not revealed to the public ). Things ended horribly between the Blue and her ex about ten years ago. Since then, Blue got sober, came out as a lesbian, and became an investigative journalist. Now, she’s wanting to do a story on the gang life in New York City and she is considering reaching out to this character. Even though things were messy and complicated between them, Blue always cared about him and had a soft spot for him. She carried a lot of guilt and wondered,  did their time together traumatize him? Did she ruin his life?  It felt like a lifetime had passed since she’d seen him last.. was it even worth it to reach out?
