Hi! The premise: A veteran with a crippling injury moves from job to job. They realize that they don't have that long to live, and their family is desperately in need of money. They decide to sell drugs, employing different, shady people to help them with their…business venture.
Rules!

• Please use good grammar and stuff. Write more than a sentence, write more than just dialogue, really immerse yourself in the story.
• Age range is literally anything. You wanna throw in an 80 year old chemist, or a 4 year old son/daughter? Be my guest.
• Be polite. Characters can be mean to each other, but don't bring the drama into the real world.
• Swearing is cool, but like no sexual stuff okay take it to the PMs.
• Shipping is allowed, LGBTQ is allowed, basically everything's fine
• Make diverse characters omg not everyone is white/a girl

Okay I'll post a template if people join!

Can the kids be teenagers? (also, what is a hogwarts house, and MBTI?)

Yeah, sure, the kid can be any age! And those things are optional: a hogwarts house is from Harry Potter (hufflepuff, slytherin, gryffindor, and ravenclaw) and MBTI is a four letter personality type.

Oh…I don't know any four letter personality types.

That's fine, it's totally optional!

Name: Nyir Viann
Age: 44
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight (unless someone wants to play a female spouse idk)
Role: Veteran
Appearance: About 5'8, sturdily built with a good amount of slender muscle, dark marley twists pulled back into a high ponytail, dark brown heavy set eyes, deep smooth skin tone with cool undertones, nearly always frowning, scar on lower left side of face that ends at her lip, full lips, high cheekbones.
Normal Outfit: Mostly wears athletic wear, like tank tops and joggers. Likes to be barefoot.
Personality: She is no-nonsense and intelligent. She has an incredibly strategic mind and can often seen snarky or disrespectful. She is sure of herself and because she does not fear death, she is not afraid to take calculated risks. She will not endanger the people she cares about, and would willingly give her life for them. She has a quick wit and a dry humor, and loves to tease.
Backstory: Join the military when she was 18. Was injured in battle. The injury left her with a scar and permanent nerve damage in her left side. After she left the military, she was basically on her own. Tried to raise a family with odd jobs.
Quirks: Frowning or neutral like 24/7. Runs her hands through the exposed parts on her head when tired. Muscles always taught, like a coiled spring. When amused, she smirks wryly, hardly ever grinning. Her laugh is more of a breathy snort/scoff.
Skills (if any): Being aggressive, strategy, combat skills
Fun Fact: Gets really stupid and giggly when drunk. Sharp wit.
Likes: Tea, quiet conversations about life, running, lakes, nature, rainy days/thunder storms, swimming, reading, gardening, listening
Dislikes: Loud people, things that remind her of the past, emotional outbursts, herself sometimes, villains
Other (hogwarts house, MBTI, zodiac, whatever else): Slytherin, ISTJ-A, Capricorn

Personality: Quiet, yet outspoken at times, loyal, smart, kind, creative, insecure
Backstory: Lives with her father while her mother is away in the war. She doesn't fit in well at school, causing her insecurity. Her father is a construction worker, and tends to work late, leaving Thalia home to take care of herself. Before her mom left, she gave Thalia a locket, telling her that she would always be with her, even if she was far away. Since she is alone most of the time, she tends to talk to herself, creating different people in her mind to talk to.

Fun Fact: She likes to go to the park near her house to sketch

Other (hogwarts house, MBTI, zodiac, whatever else): Zodiac is Scorpio

Name: Obadiah Salib
Age: 39
Gender: Male
Sexuality: straight
Role: shady drug dealer
Appearance: Darker skin, a long face with a bumped nose. His beard cover up his jawline. Dark brown to black hair he likes to keep long enough to pull into a bun. He’s quite tall at 6’2”, and muscular in his arms from working out at home.
Normal Outfit: At home or in a place he’s comfortable he wears a white t-shirt and black sweatpants. When he’s out and about on the street he wears a tan trench coat and fitted black jeans.
Personality: Out and about he’s able to mold his personality to match whoever he talks to. He seems extroverted, sociable, and even warm. At home he barely talks and tends to keep to himself if he has company. When he’s alone and not working, he lays on his couch and watches television with the occasional beer.
Backstory: Son of an American father and a middle eastern mother, Obadiah moved to the United States before he was born. His father had anger and emotional issues after his mother passed away from an accident. He learned most of his manipulation from his father. His father is still alive, but Obadiah moved out of the house before he started high school when he was offered a job in the black market drug deals. He’s the way he is because of the people who shaped him into manipulation and the black market. He would be different if his mother were still alive.
Quirks: he’s anti-social (he has no regard for societal rules and has no issue with breaking them)
Skills (if any): people manipulation, he learned a black market form of surgery from the shady man who offered him the job when he was 15
Fun Fact: he has a soft spot for kids and would probably mutilate anyone who does something to them in the wrong way, he doesn’t eat meat
Likes: children, eating healthy, living alone, the dark, the smell of cleaning alcohol, making deals
Dislikes: most other people, pedophiles (hates them), meat (makes his stomach hurt), people knocking on his door without permission, too much clutter
Other (hogwarts house, MBTI, zodiac, whatever else): slytherin, ESTJ-A
