✖ WHO ARE THEY -- WHAT BRINGS THEM TO THE SOUTHSIDE? ↴
early life wasn’t easy for the boy born on april first with the name of dominic lotus hawthorne, an unfortunate mistake ironically born on the day of the fools, april’s fools. his parents couldn’t be any more SURPRISED when they found out his mother, elizabeth liane hawthorne was pregnant at the age of eighteen, even though they shouldn’t for they repetitively lacked the better judgment to resort to the usage of a condom ; his father, carlos henrique de albuquerque, of portuguese nationality and only a couple years older, wasn’t too stoked about having a baby boy either but, unlike his long-term girlfriend, was willing to put an effort into raising this child correctly. howsoever, with dominic’s birth, this sudden spark of enthusiasm soon died as the both of them aimed to cherish their last years as free and wild young adults, leaving dominic at the care of the maid that accompanied carlos’ family into the states, due to their almost unbearable living situation back home.
the parties, drinks and all the shenanigans that came with endless night outs began to become ordinary for this couple, so they figure it was finally time to settle down and start a family, from SCRATCH, with a well planned pregnancy filled with all the joy and eagerness carlos and elizabeth could manage. only nine months later, a perfectly healthy girl named aster, after the bright and blossoming purple flower, was born. soon enough the five year old boy, who himself had a flower for a second name due to his mother’s occupation as a florist (aside from the casual drug deals), began noticing he was an outcast, a disposable misfortune, and just the way they looked at aster was enough to prove it. if it weren’t for the nanny, maria joão mendes, he wouldn’t be the MAN he is today. she taught him values, how to be tough and endure any hardship/difficulty, how to always be the best he can be and aim for the highest towers.
this family was never rich but neither did they struggle with the bills, or any little extras they could manage well, that until carlos’ family decided to stop lending them money they were bound to never get back, pulling the rug from under the four albuquerque’s feet. at some point, the banter between eliza and carlos, the drug addict and the alcoholic, was so aggressive and intolerable that the couple joined the statistics and filed for a divorce, the NASTIEST kind you can possibly fathom. it took eliza a year of endless court reunions to win both her kids, even if, out of the both of them, she was the least capable to raise them alone. as if this whole MESS wasn’t enough, a sixteen years old dominic was obliged to delete his father’s last name from his ID for her mom wanted nothing to do with the man ever again, swearing to be capable of ANYTHING to keep her kids from seeing carlos ever again. luckily for the pariah of this soap opera, the maid left the albuquerque’s house for good and followed the hawthorne’s as they settled at the southside, on a dangerous and conflicted yet cheap neighborhood of chicago.
young, bright and naive dom, filled with nothing but dreams, hopes and good intention was completely DESTROYED, ripped from his innocence by the emotional detachment and lack of love he received from his parents, act he not only despises but resents wholeheartedly, and that has scarred him for life. fortunately the male found an ESCAPE from all this ache, by teaching himself how to play the guitar (with maria’s help, though he’ll never admit it), perfecting his portuguese (also with maria’s help) and becoming the best hacker in the city of chicago. but hacking is surely a felony, one not taken lightly when performed exquisitely like he does and even the best get CAUGHT, fact he was about to experience first hand, at the age of nineteen, if it weren’t for a computer company that took him under their wing, promising to pay for his higher studies if he straightened his act and agreed to work as an intern, in exchange for a small salary. quite the irresistible offer isn’t it?
nowadays, he’s still staying at eliza’s whom he considers nothing but a land lord, scolding everyone who takes her as anything but with his sister aster, who just turned nineteen, and who he keeps an eye out for despite how much he claims to disdain her. hopefully, this living situation will change in the near future since he’s about to finish his studies and has a predetermined job at the company he currently works at as an intern cyber-engineer, for when he does so ; the twenty four year old already has a little apartment in mind.

✖ HOW WOULD THEY DESCRIBE THEMSELVES? ↴
"fuckin’ hell, i don’t think i’ve ever been asked somethin’ so heard in m’life. i mean, most of all i’m MYSELF, my own person i don’t follow trends, nor let society rule how i think or act. i do what the fuck i want and i HONESTLY couldn’t give less of a shit about what people think of me, but i always crave to be the best at what i do, no matter what it is. i come from the rock bottom, and thought i was losing my mind too many times to count, but i’m rising up and one day i’ll get outta this shit whole with pockets full of cash and a career to envy. i’m a bit of a PARADOX, i either care too much or too little, am too interested or too nonchalant, too quite or too loud, too friendly or quite the villain. i tend to only show my true colors to those dear to my heart, because otherwise i’ll do and be ANYTHING to achieve my goals. i’m a lil’ FUCKED UP, but hey at least i ain’t boring, m’i right?
