Cal loves everything. He can't help it. He loves life, even though he know he shouldn't because life hates him. He has the worst luck of probably anyone ever. His father left his mother while she was pregnant with him, when Cal was born his mother barley paid any attention to him. When he was eight, his mother dropped him off at school and never came to pick him up. She probably got drunk and lost her way to the bar. He climbed into the apartment, it was open and lived with the gang ever since. He was always the clumsy one and the gang never wanted to take him anywhere. He likes to find discarded newspaper and read them even though they're old. He always kina knew he was different, but he didn't know that it was because he liked boys. Weasel came into the gang, and they hit it off. Cal thought he was finally fitting in. He can't wait until he's an adult so he can do more things even though he does basically everything that adults do. He loves to help even though he's clumsy and he likes to cuddle even though weasel is the only one who will basically spend time with him and the gang judges him for being a softie. He loves the stars more than anything. On cloudless nights he'll go up on the roof of the apartment building and lie there for hours looking at the stars. He likes to come up with stories about the constellations that he can see. He's not very active and he's not good at stealing and then running away from the fuzz. He can't hold or shoot a gun and he has to drink his alcohol with water to tone it down. Cal is basically scared of his own shadow and is too scared to stand up to it. There's not one thing in the world that Cal hates, there's things that he dislikes sure, but not hate. He dislikes big-shot and hawkeye, they scare him even though they live together. His favourite food is spaghetti even though he can't afford it but he likes to dream. Cal likes to smoke, he's not an addict but he'll have a cigarette in his mouth is you find him. He dreams about strawberry fields and the sun beating down as he and weasel run through the field holding hands or something cheesy. He's a hopeless romantic and would die for love. He believes in love at first sight and fate/signs from the universe. He doesn't believe in a god or an afterlife or ghosts. Cal knows how to play the guitar and is pretty good at it too, he just doesn't own one. Sometimes, he'll go into a music rental shop and play their guitars for a while, that is before he gets kicked out for being a hood. Cal likes to dream big and has the biggest imagination of anyone ever. He has a big heart and maybe that's a good thing.

Relations

[ catherine roberts ][ goes by kitty ][ nineteen ][ female ][ heterosexual ][ jack be nimble ]

catherine was born in the city, she didn't have an extraordinary life, each day was the same, noting spectacular, nothing that you could remember and have a special place in your heart for that specific moment, so one day you could retold the story to your grandkids. just like in most of the stories, catherine's mom died when her daughter came into the world. it was a common thing for poor women to die during delivering their child since at the time, the costs for a doctor were immense. so, delivering in an unsanitized place with no kind of remedy assured the mother's death. kitty was the only child. from what she heard about her father it seemed that he was morbidly alcoholic, trying each day to get something to drink despite not having the money, so what did he do? he stole. when catherine grew a bit bigger -seven years- her father taught her how to get anything without even the slightest sound possible or to even be detected. when kitty was twelve, her father died and found drowned in a lake. it seemed that he was so drunk that he couldn't even realize that he was about to die. but maybe it was better so. the cops found out that he had an incredible amount of bills and debts he had to pay. meanwhile, our protagonist tried to vanish into the world since she didn't want to be put in an orphanage. oh well, after her disappearance it seemed that the authorities didn't even care that much. using what her father taught her, kitty managed to make it through. after a couple of months of living by herself, catherine was found by the big-shot and welcomed into his group. it seems that she was quite of good use to the group and somehow, priced by them! so, she started working on her stealing and stealth skills more and more until she was able to steal anything! food? check! clothes? check! cars? oh, well, still working on this!

catherine is known for her addiction to smoking. truly, it isn't the worst case you have ever seen, but is still a great danger to her, especially since she is still young. she carries them with her everywhere, stuffed in her pockets, hidden in her socks, packs of camel cigarettes. most of the time, if you will ever have the opportunity to find her, kitty will be with a cigar well put between her lips. but nimble will laugh if you will try to tell her that it is wrong, she doesn't seem to care and she will just respond that one day she might forget nicotine.
this girl has a strange relation with jack be quick, it seems as if they were twins, having a deep bond. and it is that sibling bond, with fights, most of the time. catherine shares her deepest secrets with quick, gossip with her comrade and all sort of things. and still, she couldn't teach her closest how to steal properly. kitty is quite relaxed for most of the time, she likes to spit right in the face of danger and her humorous and sarcastic nature will make her a good companion -unless she starts to get to fiery and make remarks about you too. since she was little, nimble liked to watch movies and read books. using her stealth, cath tried for many times to sneak in the closest cinema and quietly savor the films, but also 'borrow' books.

Alexa Katia Blake ☙ 27 ☙ Female ☙ Bisexual ☙ Big-shot ☙ fc: Laura Vandervoort

Alexa  is whats known as a hard-ass, she doesn't take any crap from anyone
and definitely won't settle for  anything going astray on her part. Shes ruthless 
and has been almost her whole life and doesn't rest until the job gets done; after-all,
"there ain't no rest for the wicked" and she is definitely that. Alexa also rarely shows 
emotion and isn't overly quick to act while she doesn't have much school smarts
she has more street smarts that what are imagined for her and know 
how to play the right cards at the right time.

 /̵͇̿̿/'̿̿ ̿̿ ̿̿  /̵͇̿̿/'̿̿ ̿̿ ̿̿  /̵͇̿̿/'̿̿ ̿̿ ̿̿

Alexa has had a long hard life but so has everyone else in the gang.
She was born into a household with an extremely mentally ill mother
and an abusive drunk father who up until she was five almost caused 
her death several times. They didn't send her to school when they were
supposed to and that's how she got taken away the first time. Authorities
came to take her away because of that when they saw he cuts and bruises 
and the state of both her mother and father. She was place in foster-homes 
until she was seven and ran away. she went through a, in her mind, record breaking
   number of new homes because lets just say she went through a pyro "phase" which made
a family give her up and eventually end up in Juvie for the first time but not the last.
her seventh year on the planet was the first and last time she ran from her problems.
She had ran from the foster system and thus began her life on the street. Alexa learned 
to stop running and it made her the strong person she is now and what brought her to her
new "family", the gang. She was and still is a rather hostile person and no one knows how 
she got to where she is but theres a rumor around, started by those not old enough to see
her rise up, saying she killed the old boss no one knows if the rumors true or if there was a
motive behind it, except for the members around to bear wittiness to what may or may not have
happened.
