History:

Born into a wealthy family, Adrian was not one who ever wanted wealth. His mother, Heather, had ambitions of her own and because of this it typically led to a lot of abuse when his father was not around. However, doing his best to avoid her, Adrian took a different direction. He began working out from an early age so that his mother or so he hoped would no longer feel she was able to threaten him.

His father Paul ran the business and as a result, was gone a lot. The family business was shoes. Brooks shoes to be exact and Adrian was now part of that legacy. The company itself was over one hundred years old and sold high-end shoes all across the world. It did, however, mean his father was absent often.

Unlike most wealthy families. Adrian was not restrained from spending money. In fact, he was encouraged to do so. One day he would run the business, and they wanted to be familiar with the lifestyle he would inherit.

Having no brothers or sisters, Adrian was spoiled and quickly became something of a bully at school. While there were limits on how far he could push someone in high school, this was not the case in college. His mother Heather nearly pushed him out of the house to get his degree so he could one day take over the business. As Adrian grew the abuse he suffered changed to a nearly blind hatred from her.

At college Adrian took several classes which included Business and Management, this set emphasized Finance, business economics, human resource management, and more. While Adrian did attend college. His professors mostly passed him because unlike others he was not on a scholarship and instead paid his way through. Adrian was quick to make friends but had a nasty mean streak to him. With more than a bachelor's degree on his horizon, Adrian had a few years to go.

History:

Luca was raised by his mother Sofia. While she did her best to raise Luca right, she also tried to keep him out of the life, and because of that Luca and his mother Sofia fought often. His father Marco Benedetti was the brother to micky Benedetti himself, the current boss to the Benedetti family. Marco was the underboss at the time. However, while Luca was no older than 10 years of age, his father Marco was killed in what the police called a mugging gone wrong.

Luca knew as soon as he was old enough to understand that he wanted to be a gangster, to follow in his father's footsteps and make something of himself. However, his Uncle Micky and extended family laughed at the idea, always shooing him away. So, Luca started lashing out, breaking into cars, attacking other kids. Eventually Luca started running with a small gang of kids, attempting to create a childish version of what he thought was the family.

As he became a teenager his crimes started to expand to lifting cars, and robbing people. Micky and the Benedetti family finally stepped in. His mother Sofia had all but given up on Luca and spent most of her time raising his younger sister Luna who was 6 years his junior.

Micky finally took Luca seriously and began teaching him what he needed to know. And of course, the first thing he did was have Luca get rid of his little fake child family. Luca worked in their coffee shop until he could drive. Then he became a driver for Micky and continued to do that job until he was 18 years old. The family encouraged Luca to go to college and that's what he attempted to do.

However, Luca struggled in school. He was too fixated on everything around him, which included girls, and college did not make this easier. Attempting to get a degree in Business and Management, Luca eventually dropped out after a year. From that time forward he had been earning his dues and making his mark in the family. Unlike others, Luca always believed that he would get his shot when he earned his right to do so. Because of that Luca was very content doing anything that was asked of him.

Luca worked under Louie as an associate until he reached the age of 21 and was made. Becoming a soldier. It was the greatest honor of his life. Things changed quickly for Luca after that, money, women, power, and even some associates of his own. Then at the age of 26 one of the family Caporegime was arrested. Most of his crew was taken down with him. A few months later Luca was made a Caporegime and given the right to his own crew. To run it anyway he saw fit. He was now trusted, respected, and had enough power to create the crew he always wanted.

 

[Redfren]

Name: Albert Roseheart
Height: 6'0
Weight: 176 lbs.
Eyes: Purple (light)
Hair: White/Silver
Age: 21

Appearance: Albert has unique eyes that are light purple. His hair is also unique, being white and silver. He has a strong aversion to body hair of any kind, so he is often clean-shaven and lacks any body hair. He has a strong build, being more muscular than one might normally be. Albert is also quite pale compared to most.

History:

Prince Albert Roseheart was born to Henry Roseheart and Agnes Roseheart. He has one sibling which is his sister. The Monarchy of the Roseheart's was a long and successful one. King Henry himself made great contributions to the kingdom, increasing its economy and foreign trade. Additionally, he formed new alliances with foreign kingdoms that were once thought to be enemies to the Roseheart dynasty.

As a small child, Albert's birth was celebrated all across the land as the new Prince and future King. His mother Agnes loved him dearly and while his father King Henry was a remarkably busy man, he made time for Albert when he could. Until the age of 5 Albert was waited on hand and foot. Spoiled to a level that was excessive by any standard. Personal servants tended to any needs he might have had. Children were brought in to do nothing but play with him. However, even at an early age Albert always looked to his sister. And threw a fit when she was busy or unable to play with him.

At 5 years of age, King Henry made a difficult decision to send Albert to the Eastern Desert Kingdoms. This was a type of hostage exchange, to ensure peace between the East and the Roseheart's. Not understanding what was happening Albert was notably upset about this decision, but he was a child, and King Henry knew he would one day understand this decision. Shortly after he was sent away his mother Queen Agnes died. The cause of her death was unknown. Some speculated poison, others suggested it was a broken heart. While the medically inclined suggested that her heart stopped because it was weak. King Henry himself quickly silenced these medical suggestions. Thus, her death remained a mystery.

The Eastern Desert Kingdoms was no place for a child. The land was flooded with Lyrium. An extremely volatile substance often used to enhance or increase magic. Coming into contact with this substance directly for those who lack magical abilities can have serious consequences from psychological damage to physical alterations. Unrefined this substance is even known to explode randomly. However, its impact on the magical world cannot be understated. Anyone who was magically inclined knew and likely made use of Lyrium in some way or another.

Prolonged exposure to a Lyrium rich environment had effects on Albert as well, which included changing his eyes to a light purple color and his hair to a near white, silver color. Additionally, he lost pigment in his skin making him paler than most people, especially in the Eastern Desert who were typically darker skinned people.

While held at the Eastern Kingdoms, Albert was rejected a royal education as one might typically expect. Instead, he was educated on wildlife, and flora, and encouraged to become a scholar of the natural world. Because King Henry was unaware of Albert's education this placed the Eastern Kingdom's in a strong future alliance with the future King. Albert was gifted many things, and this included women and men of all kinds. The Eastern Kingdom was well known for its slave trades and gladiatorial arenas. Because he was raised this way, he assumed it was normal.

However, Albert was also forced to witness horrific acts of grotesque torture and punishment. The Eastern Kingdoms ruled with an iron fist and deeply rooted fear. Public executions were a daily occurrence. Nobles were free to misuse and abuse the lower-class citizens. Deeply disturbing laws were put in place to assure women had no rights of any kind. Viewed as little more than breeding puppets, and pleasure dolls. Requirements also differed where noble women who were married were required to cover up anything that showed them as appealing or sexual. And unmarried women were required to do the exact opposite, put on display like meat for anyone to see.

The caste system was also very restrictive, and all of these things played a role in the person Albert would become. While he was never taught to fight, being told that royalty should never fight as they are Gods unto their people. He was taught about the value of cleanliness. This was brutally at times taught to him. Body hair of any kind encouraged sweat, which encouraged an unclean nature. Gods should be clean at all times. Additionally, he was told that his body was a temple that others must worship and that it was his job to maintain that temple. Thus, he was physically pushed to be in the best condition he could be at all times. All of this combined into making Albert a bi-sexual, disturbed, and very quiet man, who lacked nearly any combat abilities.

At the age of 20 and 15 years after he was taken, Albert was released and sent home. King Henry overjoyed to see his son was furious as he learned the life Albert had been given and the lessons he had been taught. This immediately caused conflict between King Henry Roseheart and the Eastern Kingdoms, breaking any alliances they might have had. In the last year, King Henry has pushed to re-educate Albert to be a proper noble. And while he is learning there are many things he openly dislikes and struggles with. This discouraged King Henry and because of that the King has become overly harsh to Albert often ridiculing him and punishing him or having him take lessons that are far more difficult than they should be. This caused tension between Albert and his father Henry, tension that is only seeming to grow with each passing day.

Height: 6'2
Weight: 205 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Dark Brown
Age: 33

Appearance: Gabriel tends to keep his dark near black hair short. He likes to stay clean and shaven but on lazy days you can find him sporting a day or two of overnight shadow. Gabriel is incredibly built. Aside from his natural (Unnatural) metabolism to aid with this he's very active and has an almost overtly muscular body.

Spoiler: Wolf Forms

History:

Gabriel was a pure blue-blooded werewolf. This practice was outlawed by the clans long before Gabriel was born and because of this his father was banished from the pack. This banishment was for all of North America, and all but assured Gabriel was raised without a father. His mother, his father's sister, was permitted to stay but was never to marry or reproduce again as part of her punishment. Assuring that she was alone and at the bottom of the ranking for pack authority.

All of this created a unique environment for Gabriel to grow up in. With his father missing and his mother shunned by the pack, Gabriel was often mocked or insulted, and beaten on by the other boys. He was forced to witness just how much the clan (Pack) hated his mother and endured.

At a young age, Gabriel's mother Grace taught him how to read. And she made games out of education. Everything from candy rewards for naming all the presidents to speed test with advanced mathematics. Despite her hardships, she was a loving and caring mother who did her very best for Gabriel. Constantly raising him with the belief that knowledge and education would take him further than an angry fist and short temper.

Eventually, the bullying within the clan grew and got a lot worse. Surrounded by young men his own age. He was forced to defend himself, which up to that point he had not done. Running for what he thought was his very life Gabriel panicked and entered the woods. He had never changed before and was years behind the other boys who quickly took their wolf shapes and gave chase. However, when one bit him, a small nip to prove that he was stronger, Gabriel's life changed forever. Being blue blood was outlawed for a lot of reasons. The few children that did survive often showed extraordinary abilities that were by most standards, unnatural. This became evident when Gabriel truly felt threatened.

Instead of changing into a wolf, he turned into something in between a wolf and a man, more closely resembling what is depicted in movies and horror shows. Angered Gabriel fought back and single-handedly defeated three of the four boys, the fourth rushing for aid from the adults.

As the years passed Gabriel excelled in school, just as his mother had hoped he would. He was left alone in the clan because of his unique gifts and eventually, at the age of 19, his mother took her final breath and passed on. Gabriel accepted a scholarship to Duke University and convinced the Clan Leader (Pack Alpha) that he was safe to go. Once agreed, Gabriel buried himself in schoolwork. He had a few girlfriends, and his mother had taught him well about how to treat a woman. But his primary focus was school and anytime that became threatened he would end the relationship.

After graduating with a master's in business, Gabriel accepted a job as Chief executive officer (CEO) for United Health Care. When he returned home, he found his house had been broken into and left to rot. The Alpha now very old barely controlled the pack at all. Most partied and did whatever they wanted without fear of reprisal. Gabriel tolerated the state of the clan for nearly 4 months as he attempted to get his house back in order. However, the chaos of the pack was simply too much.

Gone were the days of order and structure what remained was a wild pack of animals who did whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, which included breaking some very serious laws with other members of the clan. Having enough, Gabriel officially challenged the Pack Alpha to fight. These rare contests always resulted in one or the other dying. It was clear that Gabriel was going to win the fight and with his victory came the death of the old Alpha.

Immediately Gabriel began to reorganize the clan and put things back in order. Those who did not agree were told to leave, and those who felt it was their right to disagree were ordered to challenge him. Within a year the pack or clan was reorganized and stabilized. Gabriel has continued to lead the clan and also maintains his job as a CEO at UnitedHealthcare the 4th highest-paying job in the United States.
