Heya, I'm bringing back the player's blurb because it just makes things easier for me. It's night time for me when the server is super active, and early in the morning, I can't keep up with many things ~~and virtual or real crowds, I'm bad with both of them~~. [break]
Themes wise, I'm pretty flexible and love having a mix of crack/dumb and more serious/heavier threads. Some characters may not match one of these 'moods', but that's something we could talk about. Currently, Benjamin and Sasha are the ones with heavy themes. If implied violence makes you uncomfortable, it's better to stay away from them (i'll make sure the content follows the PB's TOS, but I prefer to warn). Otherwise, I have no problem with hurting or killing one of my characters through rp (or one going through a trial). If you want to rp something along those lines, feel free to hmu!

• "At work, you keep misspelling my name in increasingly disrespectful ways, honestly, who do you think you are"[break]
• "Apparently i've bought a stolen item, and i'm trying to convince you i'm not an accomplice. Can't you see i'm the victim here?"[break]
• "You try to sell me a fake item at an outrageous price. Seriously don't you think you seem to be a little suspicious?"[break]
• "You live in the flat above mine and have the habit to sing Disney songs at 3 AM. So I decided to bring Prince's songs. Let's have a match."[break]
• "I accidentally took your notebook thinking it was mine and you have really nice handwriting and cute doodles"[break]

ALEXIS OLANDER

[attr="class","glassblurb"]

[attr="class","glassthing"]NOTES

Always ready to butt head, to stand for herself and have fun, Alexis has settled various goals for herself to prove she can pave her way alone. Smiles, laughter and the motto 'i'm fine' hide her weaknesses and her bruised heart. She wants to enjoy her current and run away from past events - a former college life she doesn't talk. Used to grow up and study in a competitive environment, she has internalized only the first place matters, and she should strive for success. Still, she knows she isn't the second perfect daughter their mother hoped for, and their quarrels hurt her. Perhaps too proud for her sake, she'd go through a situation alone instead of asking for help. But she'll be here for her friends or a family.
Sometimes she thinks she can escape the future which awaits her. Sometimes she thinks she's on parole before losing her freedom and becoming the 'wife of'.
The type of girl who hates unadventurous dates and not fond of restaurant/theater dates - she can do that with her friends or her sister -. A special person means special memories and special places.[break][break]
Alexis has several insecurities about her life. Mostly regarding her job and she wonders if what she does is what she wants or what she needs. At some point, she'll try to look for a second job and try to think about what makes her really happy. She wants to wake up in the morning and feel excited about the coming day.
[break][break]
Alexis has a crush on MARKUS LIDELLE , but between her 6 years-difference and her past experiences, she had decided it's better not to hope for something. She's just enjoying his presence. Feel free to confuse her or mess with her.

[attr="class","glassthing"]NOTES

The album begins with the protagonist, Nikki, in a hospital. He lies in a near catatonic state, unable to remember anything but snippets from his past. Suddenly, Nikki's memories come flooding back in a torrent. He remembers how, as a heroin addict and would-be political radical frustrated with contemporary society due to the economic inequality, corruption, and hypocrisy around him, he was manipulated into joining a supposed secret organization dedicated to revolution. At the head of this organization is a mysterious political and religious demagogue known only as Dr. X, who manipulates Nikki through a combination of his heroin addiction and brainwashing techniques to become an assassin.[break][break]

BENJAMIN CHURCH

[attr="class","glassblurb"]

[attr="class","glassthing"]NOTES

"I have seen hell, and I didn't come back." Benjamin would probably introduce himself that way. However, Benjamin barely talks about his past as a police officer. He lives his life as a PI to its fullest and doesn't hesitate when it comes to resolving cases. If he needs to trespass on a crime scene, he'll do it. Ben is convinced crimes can't be fought if people don't dirty their hands. Besides, immoral and illegal are two different things. Helping some people to enter the country is illegal, but helping someone in needs isn't immoral. But letting the same person dies is, while not helping would mean the person followed the law. When it comes to society, Ben is cynical. Well, when it comes to human nature as well.[break][break]
Despite living with his inner demons on a daily basis and enjoying being obnoxious, Ben knows he somewhat misses being part of a team. He had colleagues when he was a police officer. He had had colleagues when he was in the cartel. But the feeling of being abandoned after his dismissal is still strong. He also knows that being alone gives him more freedom and he doesn't have to worry about someone else's fate.
[break][break]
He has no shortage of enemies, but they are the ones who make his life fun. He lives for this thrill, the chase, and realizing he's still alive. He couldn't keep up with a peaceful life. However, he likes to draw boundaries, and he won't think twice about using violence or intimidation. The small talk is useless.
[break][break]
Getting close to him requires patience and being on the same wavelength. His cynism aside, he's a pro 'we can agree to disagree' - but he'd still make your life a little hard.
[break][break]
I don't think I'll put an ad for him because the character would be 35yo as well, but it could be interesting to have his childhood friend around. He works at the district attorney office, and Ben and he are basically like the Ying and the Yang.

SASHA JANKOVICS

[attr="class","glassblurb"]

[attr="class","glassthing"]NOTES

Born in Ukraine, raised in New York City, and living in Seattle since he's 18 years old, Sasha serves the Mikhailov as Rosemary's bodyguard. His only mission is to protect her. Failing at it, even once, would upset him - besides, facing possible punishment from his current boss. From his mother to Rose, his life has always been about prioritizing the others over him. He doesn't have a dream or a goal for himself. Feeling useful and alive is enough to make him happy. He has a roof over his head, doesn't worry about his meals, and feels he has a place where he belongs.[break][break]

Despite being a man satisfied with his life, Sasha has several emotional wounds which haven't healed. Any attraction towards a man upsets him, and some of them have tasted his icy outburst. But as a member of the Russian mafia, Sasha values discipline - which means self-discipline as well. Bodyguards must control their feelings and focus on their mission. On his job, Sasha doesn't allow himself from being distracted by something or someone. But some situations are still difficult to face, like talking to women working in the nightlife's industry. They remind him of his mother. [break][break]

While he takes care of her debt, he also transfers money to her bank account every month. Depending on the sum, he always helps his friends when they're in a pinch. As a friend calls regularly and he tries to set meet-ups whenever the schedules match. Still, he doesn't meddle with civilians and would rather be tortured than befriend a police officer. Most of the time, he just keeps polite (good manners are important) and cordial relationships with the people outside of the mafia.[break][break]

As an enemy, Sasha is mostly the type to make sure someone remembers when their paths have crossed. And well, that's why he'd give scars to people.

+ NEGATIVE RELATIONSHIPS: someone who gets under his skin, mutual animosity with a LEO, someone who might have realized some of his emotional wounds and pries into his life[break]
+ ROMANCE: Crush / flings are unlikely if they aren't a mistake / romance, overall, is something which fills him with awkward feelings. He hopes his friends and the Mikhailov's will find their significant other, but his own love life doesn't even cross his mind.

a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.

ALEXIS OLANDER + FAITH WIERZBOWSKI

Two ladies of the Unit 32! Two stubborn ladies, who are stubborn in very different ways, but who could probably bond over Alexis' bike, because while Faith doesn't know much about technical details of it, she could wholeheartedly agree that it's a beautiful machine.

They're both competitive an that could probably lead to some heated arguments and tensions, but I think that at least Faith would try to get along with her, if only to stick it to the man. Or men, in that case. Plus they both have more of a supportive role in the law enforcement, so they could share their less exciting work related woes caused by the system being absolutely annoying. PLUS Faith is a little bit older, a little more experienced, and a lot more bureaucracy inclined than Alexis, so she maybe she could fit the role of her mentor at work? I dunno!

Add/subtract/change what needed!

FAITH WIERZBOWSKI & alexis
If Faith shows interest in her bike, Alexis may drag her to see illegal races ~~except the places would be loud af~~ - but it's kinda her pride and she would probably talk a lot about it. Also she'd be def happy to know there's another woman in the Unit, however, the tensions might come from… how her brain works. Well, sometimes, she's just a 'no brain to mouth filter'. She says her piece, but won't dwell into useless matter/problem. So unless Faith tries to patronize her or being bossy, i don't think tensions would linger.

Now Faith is around the same age as the guys, while Alexis is the youngest one - if i'm not mistaken. The age gap with all of them plus her career path may stress her in the long run. More in a 'i don't fit here' pattern. Also i'm down for Faith being a mentor and she'd definitively open up to her about her doubts (asking to go back to her former unit? leaving the LEO? looking for a second job to fill her head with something else? she would have doubts about what she should do), while she may become withdrawn and keep quiet about her other troubles. She's bubbly, but also an escapist.
~~maybe it will change for the best after her car/motorbike accident~~

Lemme know what you think!!
