~~About The Character~~

Personality: As her nickname "Stony" would indicate, Athena often has a stone-cold, distant demeanor. She's usually quiet and reserved, only speaking when spoken to or when she feels the need to speak. Small talk and frivolousness aren't her forte. She prefers to have deep and interesting conversations. When it comes to the company Athena keeps, she applies the term "Quality over quantity". It's not easy to get close to her especially being as headstrong and emancipated as she is. Athena's ambition knows no bounds and once she has her mind set on something, not much can deter her from it.
 
Athena is very responsible and often has the "common sense" role amongst her peers, giving them advice and warning them of their actions. She doesn't express her emotions very often, especially around people that she doesn't know, giving her a reputation of being an ice queen. Whenever Athena does speak, she speaks candidly and bluntly which distances her from others, just how she prefers it.

If someone does manage to break down Athena's ice walls, they are rewarded with a loyal and caring friend and companion. She's like a second mother to her close friends, wanting to make sure they're ok and when they're not, she will do whatever she can to help them in both their professional and personal lives. Family is everything to Athena and is very important to her. 

She has a seductive, wild side to her and is very amorous and liberated, having had many lovers and being very experienced in matters of romance and sexuality. Despite this, Athena is very moral and benevolent when it comes to those matters and does not tolerate unethical behavior period. She's devoted, tough, and able to think outside of the box. Athena is very accomplished and professional and only sees things as black and white; either it's right or it's wrong. She never gives up on the job and is often described as working too hard for her own good. She thinks quickly about how to settle or neutralize a situation and it may not be straight by the book, hinting at a more rebellious side of Athena.

~~Character Background~~
 
Birthplace: Memphis, Tennessee, United States Of America
 
Bio/Background: When Athena was 9, her twin sister Alice was kidnapped and the entire neighborhood tried to look for the missing girl but all they were able to find was a hair clip in the woods. It deeply affected her since she and Alice were very close and Athena even blamed herself for Alice's disappearance.
 
Seeing how hard losing Alice was for her parents too, Athena vowed to become a police officer so she could find Alice and reunite with her. As they got older, Athena and Axel got closer and eventually they started dating when they were sophomores in high school, getting married after graduation.
 
Athena decided to enlist in the U.S. Marines much to the shock of Axel and her parents, becoming military police. During her time in the military, Athena was able to get a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice but her career as an officer was cut short because of an injury and she moved to Domino City with Axel, joining the police department once they were settled and she recovered.

Wanting to further herself, Athena decided to go back to school to get her Master's but sadly it also came with a huge downer. Axel came out as gay and Athena had trouble coming to terms with it but eventually decided that it was best for them to divorce, promising to always remain friends and be there for him if he needed anything.

After obtaining her Master's Degree, Athena became a Sergeant in the police force and now currently she's focusing entirely on her career, wishing to make her mark on the world and hopefully make a difference.

Piercings/Jewelry: N/A


~~About The Character~~

Personality: Zuri is a woman with a complex personality. If you were to ask three different people about her, you would get three different answers. She only shows people what she wants them to see and loves to keep people on their toes. Just when you think you know her, Zuri will show an entirely new side of her that no one knows about.

This chameleon nature of hers allows her to blend in with any crowd and she has many friends from all walks of life. Zuri is also free of all kinds of preconceived notions and judgments which allows her to love unconditionally and view things from all angles unlike many others. However she is no fool and is quite perceptive to the point of reading people rather easily. Thankfully Zuri has enough tact to not voice her perceptions and is very good at keeping secrets.

One would assume that Zuri is very popular because of her complexity but she's far from that. She doesn't care about popularity and is perfectly fine with being a lone wolf, showing her more introverted and individualistic side. Zuri also prefers to march to the beat of her own drum and does what she wants when she wants which doesn't sit well with people who are more conservative and collectivist. 

Zuri secretly has low self-esteem and trust issues which is the reason for her chameleon complexity. She's afraid of being vulnerable and showing weakness in front of others so she prefers to not let people get close to her. She also dislikes conflict and was previously a meek person but as she got older, she became more confrontational and fiery, building up a tough shell to protect herself even further.

Anyone who's lucky enough to be friends with Zuri will be rewarded with affection, compassion, and most importantly, tons of fun. Boredom doesn't exist when she's around! Zuri's sense of humor is also greatly appreciated and cheerful distractions are her specialty!

~~Character Background~~
 
Birthplace: Los Angeles, California, United States Of America
 
Bio/Background: Zuri's childhood was normal yet active and from the age of 5, she had an interest in dueling that didn't go unnoticed by her mother who was a former professional duelist now turned cop. Underneath her tutelage, Zuri became one of the best duelists in her hometown and at age 12, she met the man who would change her life forever: Jeremy Murtaugh who was a friend of her mother's.

He was 18 years her senior and she instantly gravitated towards him because he made her feel beautiful and worthy. Jeremy had become Zuri's mentor and her growing interest in dueling only made their relationship even stronger since he was a professional duelist. But rumors began to spread about their relationship once Zuri's dueling career began to take off.

When Zuri was 13, her younger brother Teshawn was abducted from a department store while she was out shopping with him and her friends. After extensive searching and numerous coverage, his body was found two weeks later. To make matters more stressful, Zuri's parents had decided to divorce due to her father coming out as gay. Zuri was devastated and completely shut down, only opening up to Jeremy and relying completely on him. He took advantage of this and she lost her virginity to him when she was 14 which made their relationship quite sexual and deviant. At this point, Jeremy had started to become manipulative and controlling.

Zuri began to come up with an escape plan behind Jeremy's back but there was one major obstacle in her way: she was pregnant. In response, Jeremy decided to marry her in secret. Due to Zuri being underage, Jeremy bribed a government employee to obtain a fake ID for her which was then used to obtain a marriage license that listed her as 18 instead of 15. At that point, Zuri's parents were getting worried about her change in demeanor and how she was changing physically. But she refused to speak and shut herself off from everyone who loved her at that point. The only person in her world was Jeremy as far as anyone was concerned.

But everything came to light one night when Jeremy discovered that Zuri was trying to escape his grasp. He violently raped and beat her but Zuri managed to escape after stabbing him with a knife and called her mother before passing out. When she woke up, she was in a hospital bed and her baby was gone. Due to the beating that Jeremy gave her, Zuri had miscarried which caused everything to come to light.

Zuri's parents were furious and got the marriage between her and Jeremy annulled but not before Carmelita placed him under arrest. Zuri was too terrified to speak up because of the publicity and the threats to her career but thanks to the encouragement of her fellow duelists and her family, she decided to do so in order to prevent Jeremy from doing what he did to other girls.

To make the case even more airtight against Jeremy, Zuri gave one of his laptops to her mother which contained numerous videos of them engaging in sexual acts together as well as with other underage girls. Zuri also gave the police an external hard drive which contained videos of Jeremy's abuse against her as well as a video diary in which she talked about their relationship in great detail and how it was destroying her relationship with her family.

In order to keep Zuri safe during the investigation, she was sent to Battle City to go into hiding but she still wasn't free from Jeremy. He kept intimidating and blackmailing her to keep her from speaking out and testifying but Zuri wouldn't budge thanks to her new environment allowing her to flourish and thrive. She kept records of all conversations between them to hurt him even further as well.

By the time the trial began, there was so much evidence against Jeremy alongside Zuri's emotional testimony that the jury was only out for 30 minutes before reaching a verdict: Guilty.

Jeremy was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his many crimes and his reputation and image were forever ruined. Much to Zuri's surprise, her reputation in the dueling world wasn't negatively affected by the ordeal and many of her fellow duelists (especially female duelists) supported her immensely. The amount of love and support Zuri received made starting her newfound life without Jeremy much easier and when she turned 18, she was discovered by a photographer which lead to her beginning her modeling career and eventually becoming a supermodel, being a muse for many prominent designers.

Now Zuri is enjoying her modeling and dueling careers, seeming to be on top of the world but little does everyone know, she has her own demons that she struggles with and they sometimes rear their ugly head.

Zafina also has a dark personality fitting of a goth and it compliments Aaliyah's chameleon personality quite well, leading to some rather sinister mischief involving them sometimes.

A year later, Aaliyah had a new stepfather by the name of Hiroki Bushida who was a captain for the fire department and she eagerly welcomed him with open arms, considering him a second father. Having a blended family gave Aaliyah the fire that she desperately needed to stand up to her bullies and becoming a better person as she attended high school.

Personality


At first glance, Jade doesn't seem like a powerful crime lord. She carries herself in a gregarious way, often smiling and engaging in conversations with those around her. Jade gives off an aura of professionalism and can seem rather intimidating but once she starts talking, it all flies out the window. She oozes charisma and her charismatic energy makes her a highly loved figure in the community. 

But underneath her shell lies a very sinister woman with a sadistic and merciless streak. Jade is a secretive, scandalous, roguish, and crafty jezebel with a very mischievous, flippant, saucy, presumptuous, and extremely nervy attitude. Often she subjugates others through her many forms of manipulation, extortion, low blows, and dirt she's able to obtain on people. This is what makes Jade so dangerous to cross or anger.

Jade has a chameleon, street-smart nature that enables her to blend in with any crowd and she's excellent at reading and profiling people. This combined with her free-spirited and bold demeanor makes her invaluable when it comes to infiltration and gathering intel. Jade has no shame when it comes to her body or sexuality, being quite amoral and lusty and her open-mindedness knows little bounds.
 
Surprisingly however, Jade isn't one for killing and only does it as a last resort. Being the sadistic woman she is, she prefers to make people suffer and loves to play the long game when it comes to any kind of conflict. However Jade does have a berserk button: the people that she cares for and values. Unlike most crime lords, Jade cares greatly for the people she works with and loyalty is one of her strongest characteristics. She will never sell out a comrade nor betray them. If anyone dares to mess with her family or friends, God help them because they will feel Jade's wrath.

 
Fears: Clowns, thunderstorms
Favorite Color: Green
Hobbies: Cooking, dancing, traveling
Tastes In Music: Jade likes to listen to rap, hip-hop, and R&B.

Past: Jade was the product of an affair between a woman named Crystal and a married man. Crystal was forced to raise Jade by herself since the man wanted nothing to do with her and since she was a college student studying to become an OB/GYN, times were very difficult for them. There were times when Crystal wouldn't even eat because there was only enough food for Jade. 

But Crystal's life changed when she met Dante Cacace who was a businessman and crime lord. She rejected his advances but eventually Dante's charm worked on her and she went out on a date with him. This led to a whirlwind romance between them and within two years, they were married. Jade went from poor to rich overnight and she took on Dante's last name as well since she considered him her true father.

When Jade was 10, Crystal gave birth to twins Benjamin and Beth which made Jade a big sister. At this point, Crystal was starting her residency although she didn't need to have a career thanks to Dante's wealth. But everything took a dark turn when Jade was 12.

While the Cacace family was sleeping, a rival gang broke into the mansion where they lived and Jade was the first to wake up. But before she could do anything, a gang member broke into her room and attempted to rape her. Jade's screams alerted the rest of the Cacace family and Dante was furious. A large gunfight ensued and the Cacace family wound up winning but not without minor and major injuries. 

Jade was traumatized by the whole experience but instead of wallowing in her despair, she chose to get stronger and wanted to join the crime business, following in Dante's footsteps. Dante didn't want Jade to get involved because of what had happened but as Jade became a teenager and started acting wild, he knew that she had what it took to join the family business and started to become her mentor.

When Jade graduated from high school, she joined Dante's gang but she also went off to college per his request because he wanted her to be educated and still be normal. Jade majored in Business and while she was at a party during her freshman year, she had a one-night stand with a guy named Jesse Maxwell that turned into a close romance after he continued to pursue her. Jade and Jesse moved in together after they graduated from college and Jesse pursued his dream of becoming a chef while Jade began the process of taking over Dante's empire due to his retirement.

Jade eventually had a son named Quincy and on her 25th birthday, Jesse proposed to her. A year later, Jade gave birth to a daughter that she named Chloe. But tragedy struck before Jade and Jesse could marry.

During Chloe's 2nd birthday party, one of Jade's enemies named Warlock decided to commit a drive-by shooting and sadly Jesse, Quincy, and Chloe were killed. Jade exploded in rage and grief and after six months of planning, she enacted her revenge by completely decimating Warlock's gang and executing him publicly in front of his wife to make an example out of him.

Jade's reputation quickly changed after that event and she finally got the respect she deserved from the people who thought that she was just a spoiled brat who didn't have what it took to make it as a crime lord. Now Jade is more powerful than ever but still feels like something is missing in her life and is still grieving the loss of her family.

Past: Althea was a military brat and had an upbringing that was rather typical of one. Traveling and moving around a lot was very common for Althea but she took it all in stride because of her love for learning and adventure which she shared with her father, being a daddy's girl to the fullest.

Sadly when Althea was 12, she and her twin brother Albert were walking home from the library on base when they were jumped by a group of thugs who were trying to rob them. This led to Albert getting stabbed while Althea ran to get help. Thankfully she didn't have to run very far as she had literally ran into a military police officer that was good friends with her mother.

This led to the thugs being arrested and Albert being rushed to the hospital where he later died. Althea testified at the trial despite being traumatized and the thugs were given a 20 year sentence as part of a plea deal so they wouldn't get life in prison.

Althea dealt with her grief and sorrow by isolating herself from her family and throwing herself into her education and athletics as a distraction. On her 17th birthday, Althea surprised everyone by joining the U.S. Army and becoming a combat medic. Her father was especially worried about her but she ignored everyone's worries and proved herself to be a wonderful soldier, rising up the ranks rather quickly and becoming highly decorated to the point of earning a Silver Star.

After Althea's first deployment, she went to a lounge with some of her fellow soldiers and met a man named Sylvester Smith who was 10 years her senior and was beginning his residency as an OB/GYN fresh out of medical school. Althea and Sylvester drank and talked the whole night away and she found herself enamored with his intelligence and understanding of the world at large.

Despite the age difference, Althea pursued Sylvester passionately and it was returned in kind. After 2 years of dating, Althea and Sylvester got married and they had a honeymoon baby which was a boy that Althea named after her late brother. But adjusting to parenthood was difficult for them because of their jobs but thanks to family and friends, the couple managed to make things work and over the years, Althea gave birth to two daughters named Carmelita and Aurora before leaving the military. But those births came with huge problems.

With Carmelita, Althea suffered from post-partum depression which she eventually recovered from but Aurora's birth made Althea's mental state far worse. She started showing signs of post-partum psychosis and PTSD, even using dilaudid to cope. Her erratic and sometimes violent behavior caused Sylvester to take the kids and flee to Atlanta, Georgia once Althea was hospitalized  and he also filed for divorce.
 
Not wanting to lose her kids, Althea devoted herself to getting better and once she was released from the hospital, she joined her ex-husband and kids in Atlanta and decided to join the Atlanta Fire Department which she was able to do with relative ease thanks to her military background.

Now Althea is a firefighter saving lives but little does she know, her life is the one that needs saving the most.
