LAST ONE.
Name: Mia Gallagher Age: Twenty-five Family most closely affiliated with: Gallagher Three Fast Facts: • Mia has always been the ‘eccentric’ child. Nannies and teachers and family friends would describe her as ‘colorful’ and ‘energetic,’ rambunctious since an early age and constantly looking for something to get into, figuratively (countless adventures) or literally (head stuck in a doggy door.) Nonetheless she was the apple of her father’s eye and she took full advantage, clinging to the coveted title of ‘daddy’s girl’ well past the age most would deem proper, the driving force behind most of her conscious efforts to ultimately ‘please daddy.’ At one point there were some rumors going around that the relationship between them seemed a little inappropriate, all on Mia’s end, but it was never anything worth prompting an investigation. As Mia matured and hit puberty, she grew out of her obsession with her father and promptly grew into an obsession with her own twin, Matt. Matt who was going through his own shit but always had time for her, Matt who never brushed off her attentions in favor of work or their mother, Matt who would leave a bangin’ house party or the steamy interior of his car and an annoyed girlfriend/ho on the side to rescue Mia from her own demons. • After one too many youthful misadventures (stealing a motorcycle and driving it into a lake), Mia was quietly hospitalized in a psychiatric institute, her parents concerned for what they perceived to be escalating unhealthy behavior. A month later, and she was released back into their custody with the diagnosis of ‘bipolar I disorder’ and a few scripts for mood stabilizing medications. Under their roof, she was regularly medicated and monitored, and her personality shifted back into flavors of normal, muted and boring and average. The daughter of a wealthy family, her illness was immediately fodder for the media though lawyers were brought in and gag orders distributed and some not so subtle threats made until a few apologies were printed and otherwise stories of Mia Gallagher vanished from the tabloids completely. Her life would’ve gone on from there, another cookie cutter rich girl going to school, getting married, popping out a few children and wasting away her remaining days shopping and banging the pool boy but for the fact that Mia was (stupidly) permitted to attend school far from home, at Dartmouth. • Dartmouth wasn’t so much a random choice as an excuse to follow after serial bad influences, Prescott Sinclaire and Angelo Moretti. Her brother having matured in ways that made him less fun to be around, Mia refocused her attentions once more to Prescott, who never disappointed in his passion for hedonistic pursuits. She toughed it out at university for two years, majoring in English, until the two boys graduated and her motivation for sticking with it abruptly fizzled out and not only did she lose her desire for a degree and not totally humiliating her family, but suddenly her medication didn’t seem so necessary. She flitted around the country for months after that, partying, getting high, having meaningless sex until eventually landing herself in jail for possession and Matt, beloved Matt had to bail her ass out. Back home she went, unwillingly, back on her meds and things were normal again for a while. She found a new purpose in modeling, got scouted by an agency and seemed to have a knack for runway and editorial work, until of course she reunited with her favorite twosome and things have begun to spiral out of control again, bit by bit.

Last one. :thud:
Matt's got his relationship with his twin and obviously something with the other Gallaghers that turn up and one other shared misadventure with Liz Delongpre, but other than that he really has nothing going on and could really use more things. :) Name: Matthew "Matt" Gallagher Age: Twenty-Five Family most closely affiliated with: Gallagher Three Fast Facts: - Matthew Gallagher had always been a parent's wet dream in his youth, at least as far as the public face he put on went. Coming from a long line of politicians, Matt could charm a smile out of the biggest stick-in-the-mud old crone or a pretty girl out of her clothes with the best of them. A master word-smith, Matt's silver tongue has gotten him out of many a sticky situation and it is perhaps this knavish knack for perpetually narrowly escaping discovery that drove him to constantly test the limits of his powers of persuasion. Like any other spoiled rich kid struggling to combat the boredom of a life lacking in consistent challenges, Matt was eager to fill the void with worthy stimuli. Rather than turn to drugs, alcohol and sex (though there was still certainly plenty of that) his preferred form of entertainment was manipulating the emotions of those around him. No relationship proved sacred, save for maybe the one that existed between he and his twin sister, Mia. - Maybe it was the fact that his older brother was always stealing his toys as a kid that Rick had never been fully endeared himself to Matt. It was during those early swaddling years of trying to keep Mia's Barbie dolls out of Rick's hands that he developed a relentless protectiveness over her. In Matt she could always count on his unconditional support as he was always willing to drop everything at a moment's notice whenever one of her many misadventures landed her in trouble. In that one regard alone Matt could be utterly selfless, his concern for her wellbeing greatly outweighing that of his own. He could say that of no one else, not even the other members of his family. - His blatant disregard for the wellbeing of others could be evidenced in the fact that he regularly got behind the wheel or rode in the passenger seat of someone else's Mercedes Benz whilst drunk and/or high. One can only cheat fate for so long before it finally catches up with you and for Matt that moment came when a completely blitzed Elizabeth Delongpre swerved her car into oncoming traffic with Matt riding shotgun. That had been the turning point in his life. Upon waking up in ICU two days later he was devastated to learn the passenger in the other car had been permanently crippled and disfigured. His father had been quick to sweep his involvement under the rug, judging him rather generously perhaps because it was the first time a major incident had involved him rather than his sister, yet Matt was not content to let the matter die there. For once in his life he was determined to take responsibility for his actions and to this day continues to pay for the medical expenses of the person who's life he is partly responsible for altering so significantly. He has since turned over a new leaf, completely disassociating himself from his old life and focusing on the political career his father had intended for him all along. Five years of sobriety and being a Stanford Grad student have made Matt completely and totally boring now according to his beloved twin sister, but he's still the only one who will post bail for her no questions asked so obviously he's still good for something.

DONE! :thud:
Name: Phillip (Phil) Sinclaire Age: Thirty-three Family most closely affiliated with: The Sinclaires Three Fast Facts: • Presently, people whisper and gasp where Prescott Sinclaire is concerned, but it was Phillip who originated the tricks of the bad boy trade. He single handedly coined the term ‘rebel without a cause (James Dean, be damned),’ making his brother’s current misdeeds look like child’s play. The Sinclaire heir was rolling joints and sneaking into strip clubs at thirteen. He idolized his father’s ‘fighters’ and mimicked their lifestyles tenfold. Drugs and booze kept him warm at night, but women were Phil’s true kryptonite. He‘d screwed half his high school by graduation, resulting in STD and abortion rumors. Phil was clean as a whistle, but his father paid four women to end their pregnancies. Remorse was never felt. Phil’s capacity for compassion died with his childhood dog, Rocky. After possession landed him behind bars not once, not twice, but three times, Phil’s father cracked the whip. He demanded more from his successor. With his record ‘magically’ cleared and his grades ‘unexplainably’ altered, Phil became a student at Yale University. • Phillip’s freshman and sophomore year at Yale were much of the same. He smoked pot, screwed grad assistants, and paid moronic freshmen to complete assignments for him as ‘one time favors.’ As a junior, life finally got interesting. Phil was inducted into the Skull and Bones society. Gone were the days of being the only jackass of his kind. Phil found a brotherhood as power hungry and selfish as he. His membership supplied a coveted internship in broadcast journalism. It was during said internship Phil officially crossed paths with Adrienne Delongpre. They favored the same coffee shop for ‘working.’ Though their social circles had intersected before, Phil was occupied with other interests. He remembered her only as the cute redhead from charity events. The years had turned cute into sexy, and he had to have her. Phil suspended all other conquests to win Adrienne’s heart. Their whirlwind courtship of eight months was solidified by marriage. Phil surprised himself with his initial fidelity. Adrienne was hilarious and smart, not to mention the best lay he ever had, and he was comfortable. But a man can only ignore siren’s songs for so long. Nonstop temptation, coupled with Prescott mocking his ‘ball and chain’ predicament, inevitably opened Pandora ’s Box. • Phil broke his vows after a year of marriage. Repeatedly. His revolting actions never negated his love for Adrienne, twisted as it was, so when he saw her with him after three years together…all hell broke loose. Phil was a do as I say, not as I do man. No one two-timed him! Humiliated and angry, Phil blindsided Adrienne with divorce papers. He never revealed what he saw. Instead, he cut off all communication sans lawyers. Phil only learned of his wife’s pregnancy after she discarded his last name. Her miscarriage ignited the first pangs of guilt in Phil’s life, despite doubts over paternity. He masked the shame with booze and women until the pressure mounted toward explosion. Phil chose to run away from his sins by joining the military. He was thrust into the Iraq War, completing his first tour 2006-2008. His second tour, 2009-2011, had Phil labeled a war hero. He saved half his unit from a terrorist attack. Unfortunately, Phil only remembers the men lost. His shrapnel scars remind him every day, along with their screams. By the time Phil came home on honorable discharge in 2013, he was changed. Gone was the selfish boy of his youth. In its place was a haunted man looking for restitution. It was not found with Adrienne. Phil has not given up on righting his wrongs, but recognizes the importance of space. In the meantime, he has begun work for the family business. His degree in media has him filming fight segments, issuing press releases, and everything in between. Phil does his best to honor the Sinclaire name but the battle for control is constant. Currently, he quells his demons with Frank Gallagher moonshine. Taken By: Captivating Played By: Alexander Skarsgard http://i63.tinypic.com/21ch7k0.png |

Okay yes I am slating my Alicia PB as the youngest Moretti daughter. Looks like the baby of the family actually. (**ETA: looks like her name is Lucrezia) Still deciding on what to do with Liam. |
Name: Daniela "Dani" Moretti
Age: 30 Family most closely affiliated with: Moretii Daughter Three Fast Facts: - Daniela grew up playing with the neighborhood boys. She had female friends too but she had no interest in playing barbies and house wih them when playing guns in the mud was so much more fun. Her younger sister was the only one that got to see her girly side. Hanging around with boys all the time eventually caused her to get into trouble now and then but nothing ever stuck because of who her family was. - Though she wanted to involved in the family business when she got older, she had no interest in Casinos. Her love of fixing cars made her decide to open up an auto repair shop. Of course, it isn't all as it appears. Grease Monkey runs as it should during the day, though with added shipments of drugs coming in, but at night the backroom is used for illegal gambling. Daniela, of course, has no problem with any of it. Actually it was all her idea. - Dating wasn't something Daniela did much, due to usually being 'one of the guys'. She never really minded and went on happily single until one of her body guards changed her mind. She used to hate Rick Gallagher with a passion but somewhere along the lines as they spent more time together, that changed and she fell in love. Their wedding wasn't a big one. She didn't want the fuss. Small and simple was perfect for her. She really thinks he's the one. Little does she know ...

This is my absolute last character I swear. :evil:
I'm hoping to get this started in the next couple of days. I think we are just waiting on Mandy, Janine and Dingo's profiles. And Shiri's male? Name: Alexei "Alex" Levitsky II Age: Twenty-Nine Family most closely affiliated with: Moretti Three Fast Facts: - The Levitsky family name is not a name you will hear outside of Atlantic City and even then it is not exactly a name generally spoken in polite circles. Alexei Levitsky Sr. had been a known associate of the Moretti patriarch, one of his most trusted lieutenants who generally took care of the seedier handling's of the family business: collecting on loans, organizing underground prostitution rings, breaking a few knee caps, bleaching the blood and brain tissue out of bathtubs, that sort of thing. And he did so without complaint, one of few men in a business that does not generally lend itself to much trust, not blindsided by his own ambitions. He was a loyal Moretti man right to the bitter end when he stepped in front of a bullet that had been meant for the Capofamiglia himself. - Driven by the guilt of having lost one of the few close and loyal friends he had, the Moretti patriarch determined that Alexei's young wife and three-year-old son would want for nothing. Alex grew up knowing very little of his strange benefactor's criminal background as he had been content to provide from the shadows, sending a check to them every month in the mail. It was Alex who was determined to know the generous stranger that had put he and his mother up in a comfortable house outside of the city and paid for his education. That was when Alex started becoming more involved with the Moretti's, turning up at the occasional birthday party or charity event, spending the occasional summer at their country home. By the time he finally learned of the full extent of the family business he felt indebted to them for all that had been done for him growing up, but not so much that he was willing to put his mother through the same heartache she had suffered in the wake of losing her husband. His interest in law could still be of a benefit to his benefactor without compromising Alex's desire to aid the Morettis through legitimate means. He would end up attending Princeton and gently nudged in the direction of corporate law. - As Consigliere of the Moretti family, Alex advises on most of their legal matters and serves as a mediator between the family head and respectable persons who might not want to be seen doing direct dealings with one of New Jersey's biggest crime families. "Consigliere" may as well also just be Italian for Lucrezia Moretti's personal pin cushion and bitch. As the respectable "face" of the family, it has fallen to Alex to look after the youngest Moretti daughter and keep her out of trouble. This includes but is not limited to accompanying her on business luncheons, prepping her for meetings, cleaning up after her stupid dog anytime it shits on the floor, serving as her personal unwilling Ken doll to harass as she pleases and occasionally as arm candy whenever she requires a reputable date for distinguished a function. Alex suffers it all through a clenched jaw and reluctant smile, his dental bill having gone up exponentially over the years due to all the stress related grinding he does to his teeth.

WELP. Might be the fastest I've ever put up a profile. Still ironing things out with the Liam PB as well so send me anything you might want/need.
Name: Lucrezia Moretti Age: Twenty-Four Family most closely affiliated with: Moretti (Youngest, heir apparent by way of default) Three Fast Facts: [-] The only thing that Lucrezia Cesarina Donata Salvatrice Moretti is guilty of in the eyes of her father is being too perfect. Unsurprisingly, the Moretti patriarch and his strong but doting wife cherished all their children, though their daughters would always fall under the category of "princesses" and "can do no wrong" as is typical of their Italian ancestry. Lucrezia grew up surrounded in a membrane of privilege and decadence that her father's exploits readily provided and never wanted for anything. Someone might assume this turned her into a bonafide brat and they wouldn't be wrong; she just knew plenty about when to turn it on and off and what situation warranted which aspect of her brilliant personality. Her older siblings, Daniela and Angelo, served as the perfect protective shield that everyone undesirable tended to bounce off of if they knew what was good for them, though secretly she harbored a strength and determination that decided to burst onto the scene after she graduated high school. [-] Always an observant child, Lucrezia made it her personal life goal to model herself after her father's professional acumen and understand the ins and outs of what he did on the business end, questionable legality notwithstanding. She was more than willing to take the full-ride education offered free of charge (to her) from her father as long as she chose the school. Verdict: Harvard at the age of seventeen. Outcome after six years: a combination Bachelor's in Economics and Anthropology, and a M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. Coming back home to Essex Falls soon after did more for her parents happiness than most things had in recent history, besides her older brother Angelo's general existence, with her father immensely glad to have a child ready to learn the ropes of his trade. Of course she would never be allowed in on the nitty gritty, but the head of the family had no qualms with his pride and joy being the legitimate public face for his interesting line of work. [-] Lucrezia was still very much a babe in the woods, so to speak, as far as the corporate jungle is concerned. No favored child of Don Moretti would ever be left without a safety net and who better to look after said favored child than the Don's personal advisor and Consigliere, Alex Levitsky (she calls him Alexei on purpose). The lawyer prodigy had more than earned his stripes as an adopted member of the Moretti family, as loyal and well-trusted as they came without resorting to being the muscle in the Don's operations, though Luca had always identified him as "the giant hot one" and never minced words about it. Of course she knew he had been assigned to her, not having chosen to pamper and chase after the same Bambi-eyed girl who stuck gum in his hair as a three-year-old. Of course she planned to take advantage of the fact that he had to do every single thing she told him to at every turn on pain of death. Of course she only teased him mercilessly because it made the time between board meetings and Casino monitoring and fancy event attendance go faster and not at all because he is so good-looking it makes her angry enough to punt a kitten into a landfill. Totally normal reactions and feelings all around. Taken By: sumiregusa Played By: Alicia Vikander http://i.imgur.com/abKuBO0m.jpg?1 |

And I'm done! Again, PM with any deets and ideas and plot bunnies, I'm down for anything. :blush:
Name: Jonathon Finch Age: Twenty-Five Family most closely affiliated with: Delongpre Three Fast Facts: [-] Son of the Delongpre's longtime campaign manager, Jonathon Finch was born front and center on the political landscape. Nicholas and Rebecca Finch always did their best to ensure their son had as normal an upbringing as life in the public eye associated with one of America's most powerful families would allow, keeping him well-balanced with a private education at the renowned Cheshire Academy and appropriate extracurriculars (see: Lacrosse and Polo). He also got used to the normal barrage of functions and rallies and galas and all the many colorful events in the government kaleidoscope from an early age. [-] Jonathon could very well have taken the money offered from his parents but his goal had always been to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Ethics, Politics, and Economics from Yale University on his own merits, and knowing how determined Jonathon is, he did just that while maintaining a starter position on the Bulldogs Lacrosse team from Freshman Year on. Naturally, being a good-natured soul with a heart somehow bigger than he already was, he always found time to pop in on younger sister Daveigh, now just starting high school and a prime target for the horde of boys eager to see the business end of Jon's loaded shotgun. [-] Still chipping away at his Master's in Global Affairs, Jonathon accepted a job working on the campaign trail with his father -- not that he would admit it, but ultimately this was done so he could keep a close eye on even closer friend Cadence, the youngest Delongpre daughter whom he had gotten to know that much better during his last year at Yale. More or less growing up together had already solidified their bond with each other, despite the slight age difference. He liked to think that he had adopted an older brother role in her life but conveniently ignored that you don't normally harbor secret feelings for a younger sister type. He would thank Daveigh not to tease him so often about that fact. Besides, he could totally pull off the friends-of-the-opposite-sex thing and still made a point of checking in on said friends, namely the recently re-included Sydney Jordan since she was always good chummy fun and their social paths tended to cross for mutually beneficial reasons. No not like that. At least not anymore. Taken By: sumiregusa Played By: Liam Hemsworth http://i.imgur.com/3xWXuE4m.png |
