[attr="class","mainer"]ROMANCE/BEST FRIEND
20+, COUSIN

[attr="class","blabber"]Just to get this out of the way: anyone who picks this up has to be down with incest/quasi-incest. At the very least, I want this to play out with Cassius being in love with them. Whether it's unrequited, requited but un-acted upon, secret relationship, etc etc is up to you and how the character turns out. Even if they don't love Cassius romantically, this is his closest companion, the cousin he's grown up with. Ideal for this character would be someone more light-hearted/human/warm than Cassius, maybe not as dedicated to the family (but not completely running rogue, either) but if you have a really good idea that doesn't exactly fit that, just PM me? I dunno man, I just want this plot really bad. Male or female doesn't really matter to me, Cassius swings either way. No preferred FC for boys. My first choice girl face claim would be natalia vodianova because I have some really nice images of her and Willy Cartier together from the Legend of Shalimar short film. (Yes, I know she isn't East Asian but I assume branch clan members have more leniency in who they accidentally knock up. Also it would be a good background for her being at somewhat odds with the clan.) I'm not set on her though, so if you would rather fc someone else feel free.

[attr="class","mainer"]FAMILY
ANY AGE, COUSINS

[attr="class","blabber"]While he is the head of House Blackthorn with his father's death, Cassius has never particularly close to anyone in his family, his late parents included. He's talented and accomplished in theory, but he doesn't really have many friends. That's where his cousins come in. Are they respectful and obedient? Do they admire his ability, even if they're put off by him as a person? Or are they jostling for power, trying to oust him on the down low, thinking he's too young to be in charge? I dunno man, I just want a gaggle of cousins running around. You can really go anywhere with this, and I imagine they could range in age anywhere from like, early teens to bitter fifty year olds who think it isn't fair a twenty-two year old kid can inherit the position of authority over them just because of bloodline.

[attr="class","mainer"]ENEMY?
30+, MENTOR

[attr="class","blabber"]This person would be a Blackthorn family member, preferably, but as long as they're noble I guess it doesn't really matter. Someone Cassius has recently gotten close to, stepping into the void now that his father is dead and he's assumed leadership of the house. They're advising him, but it's unclear if they're looking out for his interests or their own.

[attr="class","mainer"]NAME MCNAME
AGE, OCCUPATION

[attr="class","blabber"]Now that there is the Tec-9, a crappy spray gun from South Miami. This gun is advertised as the most popular gun in American crime. Do you believe that shit? It actually says that in the little book that comes with it: the most popular gun in American crime. Like they're actually proud of that shit.

You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't. Nature is lethal but it doesn't hold a candle to man.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.
