Introduction
If one were to look up the heritage of the name βBalazarβ, gruesome details would likely follow. Not a single good thing could be said about this family- for example, there was the famous Greggory Aaron Balazar, who seemed to have a tendency to black out with no recollection of what happened during the 30βs. Normally, it wasnβt hard to find out with the bodies that were found mutilated in whatever little village he decided to stalk. His attraction towards tearing apart young children quickly evolved the story of the βwolf manβ.
If one were to look into more recent history of Balazar activity, Jordan Hayden Balazar would be of top priority. Jordan had run the biggest βsnuffβ (more widely known as βNecroPornβ) film industry known to internet kind. He successfully ran this internet business with the help of siblings, children, nieces and nephews for almost 50 years before the police finally tracked him and his family down. It was the California state police best bust- a mass grow up of marajuanna was found in the basement, along with a large stash of other drugs. Illegal explosives and stolen goods were discovered everywhere. The copβs best find, though, was the torture chamber in the cellar of the house which had bodies cast aside in piles, hanging off of chains, stuck, dead and alive, in strange torture contraptions (which also were found all over the house), and a nicely kept computer and camera set up in the corner for capturing it all. Thousands of gruesome and highly disturbing videos were stored up in the computer. Further investigation found a mass grave of decomposing bodies behind the house, along with a smoke shed smoking human meat.
The bust wasnβt a perfect one, though, the raid having killed four Balazars- Jordan himself, His sister, Daneille, his oldest son, Lucas, and his own father Hugo. The other six the police arrested, or so they thought. That day, Cyrus James Balazar, Jordanβs son of 17, had decided to take the younger occupants of the house on what they called an βadventureβ in the surrounding forest of the old farm house. More so, he was forced to as being the youngest of Jordanβs three sons- well, letβs just say despite his rising skill in his fatherβs trade of death, he never got the fun jobs. After hearing the police sirens and the gun fight that resumed, he was quick to usher away his little sister Kerrie, his twin cousins Asher, and Rosemary, and his youngest cousin Venice. They successfully escaped and Cyrus quickly found work in the nearest city under a new identity, giving his cousins and sister a small run down hotel room to live in. It wasnβt long for the young ones to be taken away by social services and put into foster care.
Cyrus was determined to fight for his family back, and so he trained as hard as he could. Soon, he found himself a job doing what he did best- he became the best local hit man for the gangs of the crime-run city of LA. Once he found himself with enough money to support everyone, he tracked down his sister and cousins, and took out every single foster parent. The reunited family found themselves an old orchard farmhouse just outside of LA, where they rebuilt their home.
Cyrus knew it was his job to rebuild the life of his father. Hell, he found it his job to outdo his father. It wasnβt long before he started building up a family of his own.
Setting/Mini Plot Idea
This will be set fifteen years after Cyrus and the rest moved into the new place. Any of the original escapees could have lovers and/or kids if someone chooses to play them. The farmhouse is about a twenty minute drive out of LA, sifted away to the farthest unnoticed corner. I want this to be in a modern setting.
I was thinking maybe Cyrus could have a teenage daughter who has a little βthingβ with a neighbouring farm boy, who comes from a strong Christian family, and the boy could start getting suspicious of things? Plus, flare Cyrusβs overprotective nerves....and itβs never good to mess with a Balazarβs temper.
I donβt have any other little plot ideas, but will probably think of some/brainstorm some with role players who chose to play in this. I simply am putting up this role play because I have an idea for a movie script (Iβll be heading off to film school this summer for directing and need a script) along these sort of lines but I need some inspiration to get started on writing it. I thought maybe a role play based on the criminal activity and everyday events of these people could get me out of my writerβs block and possibly give me some more ideas.
[EDIT: So I posted this up a while ago. Film school was postponed to this year and I would like to try this again. =D]
CHARACTERS
NOTE: THE CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS ARE JUST MY ORIGINAL IDEAS. THEY CAN BE CHANGED. I kept the age ranges fairly open, so please stay within them
Mains:
Cyrus: Played by βNecroPHILE?
Kerrie: Played by SweetAngelJocelyn
Asher: [Age 25-30 (same age as Rosemary); The pervert of the house, and a consumer of many a mind-altering substances. Perversions do not stop at family, or even dead bodies. (thinking of probably playing him myself. going to be picky about any character submissions for him) ]
Rosemary: [Age 25-30 (same age as Asher); Very much like her brother, but with a clearer head on her shoulders as she does not partake in chemical consumption to the point that he does. Determined, and extremely protective of her usually dumbfounded brother ]
Venice: [Age 15-22; Much more empathetic than the rest of the family. Befriends many animals that escape from surrounding farms or come from the forest. Generally very quiet. Close with Kerrie.]
Others:
Cyrus's Children: Heaven Leigh (SweetAngelJocelyn)
Cyrus's Lover/Wife: Sydney Lynn (S!N)
Asher's Children: Open
Asher's Lover/Wife: Cheyenne (SweetAngelJocelyn)
Rosemary's Children: Open
Rosemarys Lover/Husband: Open
Kerrie's Children: Open
Kerrie's Lover: Open
Neighbouring Boy?: Micheal Seram (RON!N)
Other Neighbours?: Open
β’CHARACTER SKELETON
Name: Nicknames too, if your character has any
Age: not even going to describe this
Relation To Cyrus: Son, lover, brother in law, second cousin etc.
Appearance: I prefer descriptions, but, pictures are fine as well, but, they must be REALISTIC.
Normal Duties/Job: Any Balazar over 17 has to be somehow making/helping making money for the family. Whether this be robbing banks, making torture contraptions, selling/growing/cooking drugs, prostitution, making black market explosives...or anything illegal really. There can be multiple, but if youβre doing the same crime as someone else, youβre working together.
History: Breif or long, doesnβt matter. Just give me a sample of your writing/your characterβs personality within this.
Random Facts: Anything we should know, since, you know, weβre all a family! : ]
Taking place in...
The Balazar household our primary setting
An old orchard that has long since produced enough fruit to make a living. The house itself is very large, old and needing many repairs. The basement is Cyrus's torture dungeon and always locked (Cyrus has the only key). There is alot of land to this orchard, so they get a good amount of privacy though there are a few neighbouring farms. The closest farm is 5km away.

Sydney waddled her way to the bed that she and Cyrus share. Besides her flowerbed just outside of the house, that very bed held something special to her. It was the very first bed that she bought - rather stole - just for them. Secrets and dear memories hid underneath the white sheets, and she was very grateful to share them with her husband. As for now, though, her bed was her only support; it was her lifeline at this point. She clutched the bedsheets, her knuckles turning pure white. Her teeth grit down on top of each other. She was trying to bear the pain of what was happening to her.
I'm sure this happens to all expecting women. Sydney's thoughts were going bezerk inside of her mind. This feeling that dwelled inside of her body was beginning to take its toll on her. The pain was just becoming so unbearable, she couldn't help but let out a yelp or two. The feeling moved on down to the woman's abdomen, but what was going on with her? It was then she saw a light crimson color on the bed sheets. Sydney cursed at the stain, thinking it merely an accident that one of the family members that caused.
But as Sydney examined it closely, her eyes widened in fear. The crimson stain wasn't just a normal stain - it was blood, and it was coming out of her. Her breath grew shortened and her heart began to race. "Cyrus!" she screamed. "Cyrus, come quick!"

Asher turned to look at Cheyenne, a bemused look to his scruffy face. "Twin." He corrected, voice calm due to the drugs that subdued him, "Twin sister. You know, the woman I was born beside. You know, the woman who I have never went a day without speaking to. You know, the woman who is basically me with a different set of plumbing."
His anger seemed to build as he spoke, his voice getting harsher, and the slightest bit louder. "I'm not sorry for being upset about losing her. She's my twin sister- she's been at my side far longer than you ever have. Not once has she shown a shred of jealousy when I choose to spend my time with you, to kick her out of what had been our room, and our bed, for you. She has never spoken an ill word about you- when in reality, you replaced her. So, fuck off."
It wasn't often he'd go on such a rant, usually unable to organize his thoughts so clearly- but, this was about Rosemary. This was his wife getting angry at him for mourning her possible loss. He was working himself up into a state of rage, one could tell by the fist curling at his sides, and the irritable twitch in his lip. That twitch had always been a warning sign for Asher. He was a ticking time bomb and getting very close to exploding.
Cyrus, on the other hand, had simply rolled his eyes at the arguement. The couple's spits were far too common for him to worry about anything- though he had stepped in numerous times before when Asher would go ballistic. That's when he heard Sydney scream. He made no move of hesitation, he immediately jumped out of his chair and darted up the stairs- impossibly silent for his breakneck speed. He slid on the hardwood floor as he reached the room he and his wife shared, expression frantic.
"What's wrong, Syd?" He inquired, voice showing the matter was pressing and urgent.

"You can mourn her loss when she's actually been lost!" She said. "I'm truthfully surprised that you say you kicked her out of your bed. The bitch has been in it more times than I can count!" She glared harder and lifted her shoulders. "Rosemary is probably just whoring around town, she'll show up before you know it. And I'll be pushed right back. Maybe I should disappear for a while, find myself a lover while you get yourself stoned all day." Her glared didn't even let up when she heard Sydney scream from up the stairs.
Kerrie shot up from her seat at the sound. She had been studying up on child birth, because she knew it would come in handy. She wasn't an expert, she wasn't Rosemary, but she could help. She loved her sister-in-law, and didn't want anything to happen to her or the baby, that would destroy her brother.
Heaven smiled at Jezebel and opened the gate. "Come on. We'll get away for a while to let our parents do whatever." She wasn't aware of anything going on in the house anymore as she started down the path that lead toward the woods.

" I wonder what we might come across today," She said softly, her eyes mischievious. " Perhaps a boy.." She said this playfully, tilting her head as she looked up to Heaven.

"For Christ sakes," Rosemary's raspy voice boomed. "Do you two ever take a fucking break? I could hear you all half way down the road!"
Rosemary rolled her black eyes and escaped to the kitchen sink to wash off both the fresh and dried blood from her arms. As for the bruises, she figured she could use make-up to hide them. When she had successfully drenched the rag with blood, she made her way to the leftover food that was on the table. She was about ready to stuff her face with Kerrie's food before she heard yet another one of Sydney's ear-piercing screams.
Upstairs, however, Sydney's pain was growing far worse than before. It was the point where she began to sweat; her body was becoming too hard to handle. Just before Cyrus had entered the bedroom, she had torn off her pants for two reasons: the overbearing heat and the flow of blood.
"Cyrus!" Sydney cried to her husband. "Cyrus, this baby is tearing me apart!"
The two of them could hear rapid footsteps climbing up the stairs. Rosemary emerged into the bedroom and automatically began to check Sydney out. "Just what I thought," Rosemary said to Cyrus, "she is going to have a baby today. From the screaming she has been doing, it would seem like she's fucking dying!"

I have been busy with Easter preparations, seeing family and such.
Terrible excuse but truthful.
Anyways, I did manage to post. I hope it makes up for making you all wait on me.
