Name;
Arianna Sole

Age;
19

Orientation;
Straight

Occupation;
Prostitution, Works at the motel

Personality;
Arianna is surely a pessimist at times. She can be rash, short-tempered, bitter and violent at times. She knows that her life has gone no-where, and so Arianna finds it fine to take out her own anger on other people. She's constantly getting into street fights, turf wars, and drug dealing scandals. Arianna doesn't ever play by the rules, and so she is hard to trust. Smoking, drinking and sex are her three main reasons to live in her mind. She works as a prostitute, and knows that she will never be able to find a better job so she might as well use her body while she still can. This isn't how she will normally act when she's around younger kids, though. She feels like it's her job to take care of the others, if they are younger to them, to protect them from the life she is stuck living. Although she rarely ever has any money to spare on them, Arianna tries to help them out in other ways. She tries to teach the young ones the rules of the streets, how to survive and how to make a living. Her confidence tends to make her seem a bit cocky, but Arianna just always likes to make a bold statement. Arianna can offer motherly advice to some of them, but she really uses the young kids to her own advantage. If she's having a bad day, it isn't unusual for her to steal food, money or anything off of the more vulnerable or drunk people.

Backround;
March 1st, 1990 : Kate Marie Sole is lying on the white, steril hospital bed. Her blonde hair is tied back into a pony-tail and for one of the few times, her round face is filled with love and care. She stares down at the tiny child wrapped in the fresh pink blanket, but the confidence on her face fades away as her parents walk in. You see, Kate is only sixteen right now, with no father to her child, and her big-shot parents would hate to have their reputation ruined when people found out that their only daughter had a child. The only option was adoption. Kate cried, she screamed and begged for them not to make her choose between her home with them or her child but they did. Her mind was made up. She would move out with her newborn daughter, Arianna Peace Sole.

April 21st, 1992 : Arianna is now two years old. She's malnourished, neglected and abused. The loving, protective mother, Kate, has been caught up in the world of drugs and alcohol. She works night shifts as a dancer in a Brooklyn strip club, and at this time leaves Arianna in the hands of her boyfriend, or pimp. She's been dropped, hit, kicked and shoved. Arianna eats only about one small meal a day, and is currently suffering with the flu.

March 1st, 1995 : Arianna's fifth birthday. On most kid's birthdays, they'll have a party with friends and family, open gifts and smile cheerfully as they play with their new toys and games. That's not the case for Arianna. She hasn't seen her mother in a year because her mother traded her in a drug deal, and now she is being passed around in a drug circle. Someone will want some smack and decide that the girl was worth a few pounds of it so they would trade. It's a surprise and mircale that the young girl hasn't been raped yet, and surprisingly, she has only been beaten by one or two men. I mean, it's not such a bad birthday. She actually has now ended up in the hand's of a man and woman. They are young, in their early twenties if even, and they own a drug dealing buisness. The woman, Kasey Lee Curtis is extremely caring towards Arianna and has decided that she will bring up the young girl. She lived happily with them for another seven years.

December 19th, 2002 : The streets of New York aren't pleasent in the winter, and Arianna now knows that. Both of her "parents" as she has referred to the drug dealers that took her in, have been shot and killed in a drive-by. They taught Arianna how to survive in hard times, and she still spends cold, fierce nights in the basement of the small, desserted shack where she once lived with the couple.

August 1st, 2009 : Arianna has found a job as a manager of the only motel in the underground world. She works there for most of her days, but also gets paid as a prostitute at night.

Appearence;
Image

Other;
- She is an alcoholic and is addictied to cocaine.
-Arianna only has one tattoo - a small pink star on her ankle.
- Arianna has a lip ring and a belly button ring.
- She dies her hair a different color almost every week.

Name: Kaitlyn "Katie" Melanie Brower
Age: Fourteen - Claims she's seventeen
Gender: Female
Orientation: Heterosexual, although she would do anything with anyone for cash.
Occupation: Kaitlyn will do anything for money. She has no set occupation, but has stripped, sold her body for cash and stolen things to sell to people before.
Personality: Normally, Kaitlyn is a quiet girl. She doesn't like to be noticed and will sit in the corner of rooms and watch people, rather than socializing. Being young and vulnerable, Katie finds it hard to resist men when they try to speak to her, so as long as she is going to end up with money in her pocket, she will quickly give up resisting whatever they want to do to her. If it's a matter of surviving, Kaitlyn will steal from street vendors but she tries not to, as she does not want to cause a scene or be noticed by people.
Background: Kaitlyn Brower was born on the first of July to Anna Briggs and Michael Stuart. Her parents were seventeen at the time of her birth, and neither of them wanted to keep Kaitlyn. She was put into foster care with a man, Marcus Williams, his wife, Kanya Williams and their son, Jordan, who was eight years old at the time. Kaitlyn lived a pretty normal life for the first seven years of her existance. She went to school, played soccer and took dance lessons. Her foster parents treated her normally, despite not being related to her, and she was a content child. Things changed by the time she turned eight. Marcus Williams had lost his job, and because Kanya stayed at home to take care of Kaitlyn, they were not financially secure. A few months after being laid off by his company, Marcus found a job as a bartender and to help support their family, Kanya got a job as a waitress. That left Kaitlyn alone with Jordan, who had just turned seventeen. He definitely wasn't the nicest "brother", and to take his frustration out from having to stay home with the little girl, he would hit her. At first, it started out with yelling and kicking her a few times, but over the next two years the abuse grew from physical abuse to sexual. Kaitlyn hid the evidence from Marcus and Kanya out of fear that Jordan would hurt her badly, and because she didn't want to lose the only family she ever had. It wasn't until she turned ten years old that she edged onto Marcus that his son was abusing her, but the man was tired and drunk, and had told her to "stop her fucking lying and go to bed". Kaitlyn obeyed what her "father" said, and went straight to bed, only to find Jordan waiting for her. The nine-year-old lost her virginity that night and could not be found the next morning. She had thrown an outfit and twenty dollars into a plastic bag and jumped out of the first-floor window, running until she could run no longer. Kaitlyn ended up in Manhattan, and she spent a good deal of the next three years hiding in the shadows of alley ways. She didn't want the police to find her because she was scared that she would have to return to the Williams' home. At the age of twelve, Kaitlyn discovered prostitution and because she was on the brink of freezing, she took the offer to enter a man's home for money. Although Kaitlyn was abused and taken advantage by the man who was decades older than she was, she needed the money so she continued to return. He brought her to the Underground with him one night, and after he passed out of drunkness, she escaped from his watch and hid out in the motel. She's been living in the Underground world ever since because she feels like it's the only place that she belongs. Over the years the fourteen-year-old picked up druggie and alcoholic habits.

Name: Kevin Wayne
Age: Thirty-four
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual
Occupation: Kevin is a P.I.M.P. He markets prostitutes.
Personality: Kevin isn't really the guy you would like to mess with, if you are even an inch shorter than his 6'3, 290 lbs figure. He's known to be violent and is all about getting his money or girls, whether you really owe it to him or not. He doesn't make friends, only acquaintences. This is because he trusts no one and believes that he doesn't need anyone else because they will only slow him down in life. Besides, he sucks at keeping promises and is a pathelogical liar, so even if he did try to make a friend, it wouldn't last long. Moral values are the last things on Kevin's mind. He is normally searching for girls to bring into prostitution, and besides being an alcoholic, that's one reason why he sticks at bars; tons of hot, drunk girls end up there and they're easy to influence.
Background: Kevin was born to two Irish-American alcoholics. His father managed to hold a steady day job as a plumber, which kept the family of five, including Kevin's two older brothers, living in a small, yet decent apartment in Brooklyn. His mother didn't work but she didn't help out around the house either. If she wasn't watching a soap opera on the couch with a beer in hand, she would be outside on the fire stairs smoking a cigarette. She was a bitter woman who often blamed chores not being done on Kevin, who was the youngest child.
For the first few years of his life, the abuse was only verbal. His older brothers would call him names, his mother and father would scream at him for making small mistakes, but it was better than what he experienced as a pre-teen. By then, his parents were chucking beer bottles at him for forgetting to wash the dishes or for not making enough money as a busboy, because it resulted in them having less cigarette money.
Kevin moved out of his home at the age of seventeen, exchanging it for the street life. Here, he quickly picked up his parents' drinking habits and his mothers smoking habits, as well as his brothers' drug usages. Basically, his life spiraled downwards and there was no one there to help him turn it back around.
He lives in the Underground motel when he has money or on the streets when he doesn't. His life basically consists of waking up, going to a bar and spending whatever money he has, marketing prostitutes and then spending whatever money he makes on more beer or drugs.

Name: Jada Jamelity
Age: 21
Gender: female
Orientation: Heterosexual - though does not mind dancing or ''fooling'' with women. She is merely not "mentally" attracted to them.
Occupation: During the day, she sits at home on her laptop and administrates a small research firm that broke off from the college she went prior the job. But her most notable job by those at night is hers as a drug dealer. She is an ace at chemicals and can concoct a pill or powder to make you forgot who you are.
Personality: She is the quiet type. Strong, stern, doesn't talk much until you get inside of her mind. Once there, there's no going back. Jada is an enigma, someone who possibly suffers from some kind of mental trauma. She is loyal, but risky. She runs her own business and her own life, but always compares herself to the White Rabbit. She's always "running out of time". Paranoid, generous, and perhaps persuasive would name off a few good characteristics of this rather quizzical individual.
Background: She was the perfect child of a rather high-class society set of parents. Her mother was a politician, her father a Network Administrator for Sony. She was the only child, and got all the love those two busy-bodies could give. But they were away so often, and she was left to her own demise most of the time. As a child, between the ages of five and thirteen, Jada spent the majority of her time with her babysitter. A teen ''whore'', as she thinks when she looks back, who had the least give-a-shit of anybody she'd ever met. This was the girl who taught her that the world is an empty place, and the only person who really exists in it is you. Everyone else is a fantasy. In truth, you have always been, and always will be, alone. Later, when she was old enough to take care of herself, the honor student graduated early with her Associates and transferred into a medical study field of chemicals and pharmaceutical production. During her years as a college student, she truly began to meddle in all kinds of danger. Sex, fights, and the silence of her own personality. It was around this time that she begun creating drugs based on simple designs that she complicated until they were perfect. Now, she lives in a rather luxurious apartment in Manhattan, and visits the underground as a way to sell and enjoy her own products.

Name: Brandon Faceir (Fah-see-ear)/ "Chesh / Cheshire"
Age: 26
Gender: male
Orientation: Heterosexual
Occupation: Paid Fighter / Bouncer
Personality: He's a wild one, brave and gallant like a lion at times. He's got a temper no one wants to see, and the strength to back up whatever his ego brings on. Cheshire is the kind of man who is cocky, and takes what he wants; barely holding on to his morals and values enough to protect those around him when he believes that they don't deserve what's coming. He's rather witty, but quick to act. Otherwise, he is a nice person, the kind of guy you want on your side when things get ugly.
Background: Brandon Faceir was born to two lower class parents with his little sister following about four years after him. He dealt with a lot of crap growing up, and only could look up to his father who was an underground, or street, fighter. His mother was a junkie, but one who was able to work a waitress job half the time and bring in a little cash. Brandon got his first job at fourteen, and lost it in the same year. Over the next three years, he gained three more jobs, and began to bulk up with hard training to make sure he was never the weakest. During this time, he experimented with drugs, and began to grow up into the real world a bit more. He gained the name Cheshire at age 18 because of the way he would sneak around with a big smile on his face and start things without clear reasons. At the time being, he is a bouncer for one of the underground club/bars, and also works a little extra time kicking ass for paying customers.

Name:
Lacey Maria Starly / Lola Starr
Age:
18
Gender:
Female
Orientation:
Straight
Occupation:
Stripper / Prostitute
Personality:
Lacey is shy, conservative, and very self-conscious. Lola, however, is flirtatious, confident, and outgoing.
Background:
Lacey grew up in a religious home, her father being hard-core Christian and her mother being a Sunday school teacher and the church's choir director. Lacey was a polite child and when she got into middle school, she was on the academic top 10. She was a very popular girl and liked by many people. In high school, her life changed. She was raped by a boy in her class that was obsessed with her, and she never told anyone about it. She doubted there was a God, because if she was raped, what purpose did God have to do that to her? She gave up on her grades and her parents became severly worried about their only daughter. After Lacey barely graduated high school at the age of seventeen, she moved out into the Manhattan area, paying off her rent by selling her body and making money as a stripper in a bar. She discovered the underground world after her friends showed her the basement-way in one of their favorite bars and found a better job as a stripper in a nicer bar, and found prostitution was much easier when working on corners at night. Lacey created her alias 'Lola Starr' and only goes by that.
