Dylan

INTP, Male, 22, Computer Scientist, Logistician, hacker, and Computer engineer.

Dylan isn’t really cutout for this line of work, but finds himself helplessly pulled along with it all without much resistance. He’s technologically savvy, which alone isn’t really enough to justify his involvement since Reith is too, but Reith tries to keep out of that kind of direct work. Besides, Dylan’s great at coming up with plans, systems, programs, gadgets that do the job reliably, but Reith inevitably takes the time to cleanup and streamline Dylan’s work

Nate

ESTJ, Male, 24, Conman, Safe cracker

Not your friend, Nate’s out for his own good no matter how friendly he might come off. He’s not necessarily evil, and he never really meant to kill anyone, but he’d never take responsibility for his actions especially if it meant things going poorly for him. This isn’t to reflect poorly on all coyotes of course, regardless of the stereotype, Nate’s problems are his own. He’s a smooth talker, and a decent enough shot to get away with most anything he might need to.

Laura

ISFJ, Female, 27, Muscle, Thief

One among several characters who’s background is a mystery to her associates, what people do know is that she is very much a doer. She doesn’t hesitate, especially when it comes to defending her crew. She’s present though quiet wherever she is, waiting for the moment she needs to do her job and staying out of the way otherwise. If it wasn’t for the shock of her orange air and eyes she’d easily slip into the background, monitoring. She’s smarter than she lets on too, and is someone you really ought not underestimate. Put on the spot she’ll come up with a workable plan in an instant.

Riley

ESFP, Male, 25, Detective

Cocky, self important, stuck up and vain, Riley is.. unpleasant to deal with, though he considers himself a smooth talker. And initially he might come off as likable but that won’t last. He does his job though, and surprisingly he takes it seriously, but he’s relatively unphased at the idea of taking liberties with the law to get what he wants. Remarkably, he’s somehow one of the few people in the force who isn’t completely corrupt, but that’s not actually saying very much about his character more than it is of most other cops. He’s trying to do what’s right though, he just has trouble seeing what that is, he’s still young, and he’s got a better mentor than he used to have.

Burke

ISTP, Male, 54, Detective

Burke only really cares about getting shit done right these days. He’s jaded towards the system he is in, but he trusts it because anything else has proven to be worse. The justice system as it is is all this country has to try and make things right, and if more men were like Burke and dedicated to their jobs as cops maybe things wouldn’t be so bad. He generally can’t tolerate most other cops and their behavior, at least Riley seems at least somewhat interested in real police work. Jaded as he may be, he wouldn’t expect to have the police force ever turn on him.

Jack

ESTP, Male, 28, Thief, Thug, Moonshiner

Jack’s from a big family of moonshiners, growing up south of Jefferson, along the tristate border between Appalachia, Calvertsland, and Elizabeth. The family ran moonshine all over the mid atlantic region though. Jack wasn’t content with just sticking to the family business, and often was getting into more trouble than the family could afford. He also seemed only interested in any physical or financial security he could get from the family, and not much beyond that, and while his parents and most of his brothers and sisters still treated him like a brother, a couple of them saw him for what he was. Jack left home to do odd jobs around for different connections to the family, the type of stuff no one else felt comfortable doing, and made connections along the way. It’s valuable to lack morals in a life of crime, and Jack’s picked up plenty of skills along the way.

Lawson

ESFJ, Male, 52, Detective

Craig Lawson was once Burke’s partner, They split over irreconcilable differences in how they operate, and the chief was sick of mediating between them. Burke was an invaluable asset but painfully scrupulous, while Lawson was basically there for the paycheck and nepotism from his family being in state government. He doesn’t like to concern himself with the ethics of what he does because deep down, it bothers him. Instead, he hides behinds his shades and a grin constantly, and ignores what he can so he can succeed. This put Burke and Craig at odds constantly though. Now with Stiles he can basically kick back and relax, as Stiles certainly has none of the morals Burke did.

Stiles

ENTJ, Male, 44, Detective, Instructor

Philip Stiles was once the instuctor, then senior partner to Riley, and largely to blame for Riley’s negative qualities. They eventually grew to hate each other, but like it or not Riley still models his policing after Stiles, something Burke is slowly wearing away at. Stiles is mechanical, cold, and gets results. Whether those results are right or not isn’t important to Philip though, just that they make him and his superiors look good. He will happily manipulate anyone to get his way, and passes his brand of policing on to all his trainees. Riley’s damaged as a result of years under Stiles’s instruction, but deep down at least he’s got a conscience, and unlike Lawson, he still tries to follow it too.

Sam

INFJ, Female, 56, Mother, Manager, Lockpick

Samantha Russo, the mother of Delaney, adoptive mother of Luka, and wife of the late Ricky Russo. She met Ricky when the Russo brothers were still starting out, and was an expert lockpick. She also had a knack for keeping the brothers organized early on, and taught Barrett a fair deal, as they were learning on the fly. Their parents didn’t want them in “the life” but fate dragged them in anyways and Barrett was a natural. Sam’s thoughts echoed Ricky’s parents, but unfortunately there’s just something in the Russo blood that drags them back in, as Delaney found herself bored with life any other way. Sam’s still involved with the Russo brothers, even with Ricky gone, she and Barrett were always good friends. With his best drivers dead, Barrett has a vested, albeit conflicted interest in his niece and adopted nephew. This strained Sam and Barrett’s friendship some as Sam doesn’t want anything bad to happen to her kids, but she can’t even deny her own affinity for the work.

Barrett

ENFJ, Male, 60, Godfather of the Russo Family, Muscle, Fixer

Barrett Russo is used to carrying the weight of those he cares about and making a better future for people. He unfortunately doesn’t take much time for himself, and as a result he’s never settled down, his closest relationships being friendships. He’s also probably gay, but closeted, and given his lack of interest in the matter it doesn’t affect much, beyond a crush a decade ago on someone he could have never had, who’s dead anyway. In the wake of ******’* and Ricky’s deaths, he’s the next closest thing to a father figure for Delaney and Luka.

Elias

INTJ, Male, 58, Businessman, Tactician, Consigliere

Elias, the middle brother of the Russos, was always the quiet calculating one. He’s also been quiet about his love life but its believed he’s seeing someone for a few months, but he keeps her away from the dirty criminal business. He practically owns a sizable portion of Pennsburgh now and bankrolls/handles a lot of Barrett’s plans and operations. He’s the one who *** *** ***** ****** ******** **** ******** **** ** *** *** ** **** **** **** * *******, *** **** ********* *******. He always has his eyes out for opportunity, and others who have potential.

Delaney was born into a family with a long history disobeying the law, particularly when it comes to driving. Her mother wanted her to have a chance at something different, but nothing stuck, and ultimately she wound up behind the wheel again. Delaney does her best to be calm and measured but can’t help but aid those important to her even to her own detriment. She’s not sure where she fits in, as while she is from what is essentially a criminal wheel-man dynasty, but raised away from that. With her mother, a professional safe-cracker, still a high level member of the biggest outfit in the city, she didn’t have much choice but to listen to her and stay legit until she ran off with her best friend to strike it rich as drivers in another city.

She drives a modified dark red 2004 Mercury Marauder nicknamed “Sunset”. These modifications include but are not limited to an aftermarket aluminum high speed driveshaft, high performance tires, removed rev limiter, fully overhauled intake and exhaust systems as well as some smaller cosmetic changes. Sunset is the fastest accelerating vehicle of the group. It is tied for fastest top speed.

Luka’s an eccentric, and a walking talking contradiction in many ways. He follows his heart and it tends to get him in trouble. He’s passionate and excitable but usually reserved, he’s a uninhibited individualist but basically does whatever those around him tell him. He’s unexpectedly religious and fiscally conservative and at the same time super gay and experimental. Submissive yet definitively and comfortably masculine. Very small even for an otter, but stronger than most other otters one might encounter. If he’s got something he really wants though he can step up and lead the charge towards it, and there’s very little those around him can do to stop him. Most of the time though he’s content to follow other’s leads, usually his husband Reith or his best friend Delaney.

Luka drives a modified dark blue 2001 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R, nicknamed “Midnight” or as the license plate reads, “MIDNITE”. Midnight is the most maneuverable vehicle of the group, with the tightest brakes and turning, a highly specifically turned LSD to match Luka’s tenancies while driving, favoring grip over drifting. Midnight’s top speed is tied with Sunset’s.

Reith wouldn’t call himself the leader or mastermind or anything of the sort, he’d honestly prefer to be uninvolved and not really in charge, but the combination of his caring for his friends plus his pride on being able to help, and his calculated rationality, he winds up being the voice everyone turns to when figuring out. His skills exceed what is listed, but he’d only permitted those three to be advertised.

His husband is a limitless source of amusement and ideas for him, and a good filter for him when it comes to emotional decisions. He often finds himself fiddling on new projects while managing those he already had committed to, and actively and eagerly assisting his friends. He’s the de facto leader thanks to his unintentional charisma and intelligence, much in the same way his physical size dominates the room even when he’s giving everyone space, dire wolves tend to do that.

Reith drives yellow Ford Ranger Raptor, a model year doesn’t quite seem fitting since the actual vehicle hadn’t been released yet, his is a reverse engineered one from working with the actual prototypes, and is a combination of custom parts, Ford Ranger parts, Ford F-150 Raptor parts, and aftermarket components. The Raptor by far exceeds any of the other vehicles in the group, or really anywhere in terms of offroad handling for a pickup truck. Reith’s pride and joy that he is always modifying, but never gave an official name, beyond "The Raptor.”
