Name: Damian Ethan Anderson Rosetta.
Age: 21
Accent: Mild Irish
Gender: Male
Appearance: Damian
Personality: Damian is a little....excitable some would say. When it comes to having to deal with Family business he has his fun at the expense of whoever has gotten in the family's way. However when he is not...working, he is very easy going to both friends family, and strangers alike. Only people from rival families and the police should fear him really. He also idolizes his cousin a bit, and his uncle? Well he seems like a god to Damian.
Bio: Damian's father worked for Neil Rosetta as his right hand. Damian's father married Neil's sister and took her name to be closer to the family. A few years after the don had his daughter, his sister had her son. They decided that Damian would be raised to be a wonderful asset to the Rosetta family, but to keep his grandfather, on his father's side, happy he took both of his parents last name and was given a choice as to which one would be a middle name and which he would identify as his family name when he turned 18, until then he was Damian Ethan Anderson.

He chose the family and never looked back.
Weapon Preference: Damian prefers throwing knives over shooting people it's just so...impersonal. Though just to be safe he does also carry a handgun on him.
Other info: Damian is far sighted and has to wear his glasses...much to his annoyance.
Theme: Nox Arcana - Lullaby.

 

[Jaqueline]

Name: Neil Lorcan Rosetta
Age: 67
Accent: Thick Irish Brogue
Gender: Male
Appearance: Neil
Personality: Loud and rough, Neil is a harsh person to do with business with, though more due to his brutality than how savvy he is. He has no qualms with ordering assassinations and drive by shootings on his competitors establishments when provoked. That being said, he seeks to defend his territory he feels is well earned in the city and has no real interest in expanding his influence with the exception of taking over the territory of any family that crosses him.
Bio: Moved over with his father from Ireland when he was very young. With what money they had the whole family had to scrounge and save and eventually they opened a simple butcher's shop. Life got significantly better much faster than Neil could have expected as they earned plenty of money. Within a year though and at fourteen years old he learned of his father's illicit dealings that were the secret of success to his small business. He was given a choice. To disavow his father's actions or to join. He took his time but eventually decided to side with his father and in a few years the two were partners. His patience has worn out over the years of doing this work by himself once his father passed away and the recent loss of his Right Hand Man and Best Friend had left him more jaded and easy to upset.
Weapon Preference: A handgun that he keeps lying out in the open on his table, and his reputation makes it known that he is more than willing to pick it up and put it to use if he does not enjoy the way his meetings are going.
Other info: Is a very happy drunk and extremely friendly at parties. Has a fondness for cheeses of wide variety and enjoys the feel of wool.

Name: Nora Siobhan Rosetta
Age: 31
Accent: Mild Irish
Gender: Female
Appearance: Nora
Personality: Empathetic and understanding, she does her best to keep things cool and prefers to settle things diplomatically. She is not one to shy away from danger though and can understand when necessary force must be applied once all other options are exhausted. She tries her best to act easy going, but is often very worried and stressed.
Bio: First born of Neil Rosetta, Nora was raised with full knowledge of her family's criminal activities and the choice to ignore them and live a separate life from her family's or to become a full member of the organization with no special treatment, starting from the bottom up. It was no contest in her mind. Her loyalty and love for her family would never allow her to leave.
Weapon Preference: Tries to be a non-combatant and uses her lack of firearm as a sign of trust. She carries a switchblade in her jacket pocket as a precaution.
Other info: Cannot hold her liquor.
Theme: Guilty Thrills

 

[razerwing]

Name: Trenton Nemico
Age: 27
Accent: Slight Bronx
Gender: Male
Appearance: Trenton
Personality: He likes to be open around people. If he's friendly, people won't suspect him of anything. He also tends to react poorly to signs of aggression.
Bio: When he was a kid, he always believed that killing people was wrong, that it would get you into bad places. Well, he was right. His ma and pa joined one of the gangs who'd jumped on the Booze Bandwagon. And of course, they rose in power. Trenton grew up and joined the family business. During the time the Schultz's were still alive, Trent learned just about everything, from how to talk to other people to how to shoot guns and use baseball bats for things other then baseball. Of course, like most gangs, the Don got a little greedy with power. Decided the Rosetta's were getting in the way, so he decided to take out their Don's Right Hand man. The result didn't end very well for the Schultz gang. Trent and a handful of the other guys survived, probably because they weren't related by blood. Otherwise... Now Trent works for the Rosetta's. Simple as that.
Weapon Preference: Rifles. Mostly single-shot, long range, bull-pup rifles.
Other info: He does have an affinity for fire. The way it moves mesmerizes him sometimes. Hell, it even calms him down. He keeps a lighter on him all the time, even though he doesn't smoke.
Theme: Everybody's Everything

 

[Kalliope]

Name: Sarina Turnheist
Age: 19
Accent: New York
Gender: Female
Appearance: Sarina
Personality: Sarina is generally a very up-beat and happy person. It takes a lot to drag down her mood so to not see a smile across her face is extremely rare. Her bubbly personality perfectly compliments her loyal disposition as well as she will always stick by those she feels she can trust. The young woman does have a craziness about her though, with an inability to tell right from wrong and problems with her impulsive behaviour. She's just as likely to skip down the street as pull out a shotgun from under her coat, demand that ice cream from a passerby before continuing happily along, licking her new cone.
Bio: At the age of five, Sarina ran away from home and her neglectful parents to live life alone on the streets. Due to this, no-one taught Sarina right from wrong as she learnt to survive on her own, her face showing the same grit as her life was putting her through. Trying to rob a victim at fourteen, things turned bad when the girl was sadly informed she had tried to rob an important person as her wrist was twisted behind her back and her flick knife fell to the floor by Neil's right hand man. Constantly shouting, swearing and trying to wriggle out of his grip did Sarina no good whatsoever/ What did work for the girl though was the impression she made on Neil Rosetta as she found herself welcomed into the Rosetta family for her spunk. From then on, Sarina had become an adopted daughter to the 'family', particularly Neil who seemed to develop a soft-spot for the girl as now her face is always beaming from finding somewhere she can belong. Neil also treated Sarina to her own violin after the young woman begged and pleaded for one after seeing someone perform with the instrument on the streets.
Weapon Preference: If you can name it, Sarina probably has one of them hidden somewhere on her person. The classic tommy gun in a violin case is often carried around as well as dual sawn-off shotguns under her trenchcoat. The only problem with the violin case is knowing whether it's carrying her gun or her violin.
Other info: Sarina prefers to play moving and emotional classical pieces on her violin and has a well known love for ice cream.
Theme: Happy Song
