Nathalie Moreau ✗ Age: 28 ✗ Bisexual ✗ Public Relations Manager ✗ Beyoncé

Now my mascara runnin', red lipstick smudged Oh he so horny, yeah he want to fuck He popped all my buttons and he ripped my blouse He Monica Lewinski'd all on my gown

Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Nathalie Moreau made no apologizes for who she is or where she came from. She's had to fight and take the scraps through to her by life. Instead of letting it break her, she used it to her advantage. She's tough but instead of being rough around the edges herself, she's driven. Nathalie's father was a drug dealer and her mother, a former exotic dancer. They were actually fairly wonderful parents despite what people would think pertaining to their occupations. Fully supportive and helpful to their three children, giving what they had for them. Nathalie is the second eldest but she always took on the responsibilities of the house. Being around rough and ragged men weren't new to her and it became a way of life for the young girl. With an easy smile and natural charisma, she handled them easily and managed to run a household from a young age.

When her father was arrested, she was fifteen and he was sentenced to twenty plus years in federal prison. Her mother was left with the worry of having to care for them. She couldn’t go back to stripping so she advanced in her career choice. Teased because of their mother’s money-earning activities, the Moreau children became unwilling to put up with the traumas of what school typically put them through. Nathalie’s older brother, Maurice, stopped going entirely and immediately found a job. Her younger sister, Pauline, was only eight at the time. It was up to Nat to take care of him while their mother worked. Those were the most difficult years of her life and as time passed, it only got worse. Less money, more needs. Times were tough and Nathalie knew the life she was living was not one she wanted. At age seventeen, she graduated from high school as valedictorian and decided to go to college. If it were not for her mother's willingness to help as well as her father's former career "stash", the young woman wouldn't have been able to attend Louisiana State University. Her career choice? Mass communication with the idea of becoming a journalist.

There was one thing Nathalie loved more than writing and that came in the form of her life long friend Francesca. The two grew up together and depended on one another entirely. If it weren't for her, Nathalie feels she would have gone insane. Despite her original plan to become a journalist, Nathalie found the public relations courses much more interesting and challenging to her typical curious and "smooth it over" behavior which was a part of the pattern of her life. After graduation, she didn't have much time to sort out her next move. Only a few months of freedom before Hurricane Katrina ripped away what little perception of safety she had left. Luckily for her, what little bit of family she had left managed to survive. By the time they all managed to get out and settled, the family had trekked halfway across the country to join their maternal grandparents in New York City.

Nathalie was 21 years old, living in a cramped home with five other adults. She quickly sought employment and worked a string of dead end and minimum wage jobs. It was enough to save and afford her own apartment in Queens and there she stayed until she finally landed a job in a PR firm. Their clientele was mostly D-list celebrities but Nathalie was a smart and sociable woman. She quickly got better job offers from companies looking to gut others for their best workers. She made no apologies when she moved from job to job each time she was offered something greater. Full time employment at Bollare Communications LA office was too great of an opportunity. At twenty five, Nathalie left New York City for LA and it's been her home for three years now.

Sora Castillo ✗ Age: 21 ✗ Straight ✗ Student at UCLA ✗ Vanessa Hudgens

Closer No hesitation Give me All that you have

✗ Sora Castillo is the type of girl you would find in the club on a Thursday sandwiched between two people. But behind her carefree persona she hides a troubled past. Her early life wasn’t an easy one, having been abandoned and dumped on the streets in New York at the age of 15. After running the streets for 2 years until she finally settled into a group home in Newark, New Jersey. There she ran into a budding movie director, and suddenly she found something new to aspire to: directing. With the help of her new friend, Sora was able to get her GED, graduating with a 4.0. She soon settled on a college located in the heart of California before then relocating to Los Angeles to attend UCLA.  She was quickly accepted into the college after directing one of her friend’s pilots for her audition piece.

Four years later Sora is now in her last year of college and this year she plans on adding more to work to her already over flowing plate.  Now with an internship she still somehow she manages to keep her grades up while partying and fulfilling her role as one of UCLA’s finest resident advisors.  What makes her stand out as an RA is that she uses her history with abuse to help out her fellow undergrads while using the sessions to heal scars of her own.  Her sarcasm can be a bit jarring at times but people seem to be drawn to her truthfulness and playful manner.  Sora is ready to graduate but the harsh reality of going from attending College on a full ride scholarship to not, is about to hit the young girl hard.

Jackson McNamara ✗ Age: 30 ✗ Heterosexual ✗ Corporate Lawyer ✗ Henry Cavill

We find redemption In the love we've won Just a little company  Until our work is done

Born and raised in Hudson Oaks, Texas, Jackson was the all-american boy that most people expected him to the be. Rich, charming, and focused. The second son, and third of four children, of a business magnate and his stockbroker wife, Jackson excelled at anything he tried with a twist of humbleness that his older siblings never seemed to find. Football was his favorite sport but he also loved reading and writing. His father pushed him towards sports but his mother encouraged his dream to become a writer. With age came a cynicism and another dream. An argumentative and passionate young man, Jackson could wear anyone down with sheer persistence. He decided to become a lawyer. With the offer of three different scholarships, Jackson turned down all down and allowed his father to fund his college education at Columbia University. The only catch? Jackson had to become a lawyer in his father’s firm.

That was no problem. The young man was fiercely loyal to his family and the company was thriving. Why wouldn’t he want to use his family connections to get his foot in the door? Throughout the years of college and law school, Jackson had to contend with his father’s rivarly with an opposing company. It was clear the other “conglomerate” was simply a knock off pushing for more power…at least in the opinion of the McNamaras. By the time Jackson had gotten his degree, he was practically a full-fledged attorney at the place with as much time as he spent organizing strategic moves off the books. He's a kind man. Never wanting to rock the boat unless he has to and that was a main reason why he hadn't been in many relationships.

His father demands focus and something akin to perfection while his mother demands affection and attention. She delights in having her little Jack at her beck and call. Other women don't take too well to that. At 30, he’s in the prime of his life. Physically fit, wealthy beyond belief, and it’s looking as if he’ll inherit a huge chunk of his father’s company. He's got everything most people want and yet he still finds inadequacy in his everyday life. Why? Simple yet complicated beyond belief answer? He’s Jackson McNamara.

Samantha Morgan ✗ Age: 27 ✗ Heterosexual ✗ Event Planner ✗ Scarlett Johansson

Some people like the way it feels Some people wanna kill their sorrows Some people wanna fit in with the popular That was my problem I was in the dark room

✗  If there’s one word to be used to describe Samantha Morgan, it’s bold. Commonly described as brash and in your face the Boston born but Los Angeles breed blonde really was a bombshell. The real testament to Samantha trying to get along with you was when she was concentrating on biting her tongue. Though, all-in-all Samantha’s very self-aware. The girl knows her faults, strengths, and how to over come and better herself on both matters. Where did she learn how to be comfortable in her skin? Raised in a cutthroat atmosphere, she had to adapt because she witnessed the harsher side of Los Angeles; namely, she watched it chew and spit out the people she cared about and, though she loved the city, she refused to let that be her story at a very young age.

Samantha Gianna Morgan was born in Boston, Massachusetts to a construction worker and a middle school English teacher. A fairly normal family with three siblings, two brothers and a sister, she’s the second oldest but her parents did a great job at sharing their attention with all the kids. When she was twelve years old, the entire family moved to Anaheim, California because her father wanted to follow his dreams. He had opened a construction company with a friend of his and the family found themselves living in close proximity to Los Angeles. This, of course, meant the Morgan children made frequent trips into the city. While her older brother didn’t see anything special about it, Samantha and her younger siblings fell in love immediately. The glitz, the glamour, and the fame drew Samantha in and she wanted to play the game just like all the others.

High school brought acne, sex, and all the cliches for the pretty blonde. From day one she was involved in anything and everything. Samantha was what all the other girls wanted to be; smart, sexy, and clever- while doing it all with a no holds bar attitude. However, her mother wasn’t a fan of her daughter’s inability to filter herself. Needless to say, anything Samantha thought or felt generally spilled its way out of her mouth and this didn’t make her any real friends. Still, the outgoing side of her won her some credibility and she was a part of the school’s cheerleading team. Unsurprisingly, her power to take command of a group lead to her becoming the captain but not just in cheer. She was appointed to many committees including the head of the student council where she planned all the school dances. Samantha Morgan was the ideal party girl, at least to her fellow students. It wasn’t a chore though, she genuinely liked the planning and execution of her ideas. The girl could boast one break from the stereotype though, the times where she morally faltered and become a party animal were very rare.

School was never her favorite place in the world and at sixteen she decided that she wanted to become a movie star. Spending her allowance on things like Vogue, she did her best to emulate her favorite actresses. Unfortunately, a mere year later, she figured out she had little to no actual acting talent. Frustrated, she gave up the dream and decided to do something else with her time. While her other classmates seemed to be fairly set on what they wanted beyond high school she felt like all her plans were wasted, but the young girl never gave up hope that she’d find the one thing she was meant to do. Then, at age eighteen, it just hit her, LA was the place to make your own dreams. So, she decided to go to UCLA for business. Though she had no idea what she wanted to do specifically with that degree she knew that she had to be her own boss.

After college, with student loans piling up, Samantha knew she needed to find a job until she knew what to do with her new degree. Doing just that, she immediately found a job with a a small event planning company. The only problem was that it required her to move entirely across the country to New York for the position. Samantha saw it as an adventure by her twenty-first birthday she could easily be labeled a workaholic. Pulling in celebrities and catching rave reviews for her events became the norm. Samantha Morgan’s events were the place every celebrity wanted to be seen, to the point that some of her co-workers thought she’s sold her soul to the devil with how far she was willing to go to get items, press, and the popular celebrities of the week to these things. One thing was for sure, she had no time for boys, no time for romance, and no time for getting back home. Well, that’s what she thought before she met Max Priestly. He was creative, understanding, talented and sweet. They spent the next four years together and right when she thought it seemed like it was going to be the long haul it was over.

Heartbroken but calm, the pair kept a level head about the breakup. Instead of harboring anger for him, she wished him the best and made the move from New York back to Los Angeles to start a new chapter in her life. It was the heartbroken reason for her move. New York was her adoptive home and she was a success there but with the relationship it all seemed to define her and she didn’t want to be reminded of him everywhere he went. Everyone wanted her and it wasn’t remotely hard to find a job with the SLS Hotel as the assistant to the head on-site event coordinator. Better yet, when her forty-eight year old boss stepped down Samantha was a dead ringer for the promotion. Fighting six of her co-workers and numerous outsiders for the position, once appointed, it validated everything she’d been working towards since she was eighteen years old.

Nathan Owens ✗ Age: 28 ✗ Sexuality: Straight ✗  Occupation: Quarterback for the San Diego Chargers ✗ Chris Evans

"It seems like they all want me to fail But I’m not goin’ back Not goin’ back, baby Please tell me you don’t want me to fail ‘Cause I’m not goin’ back Not goin’ back”

✗  You would think that growing up in a household full of women that Nathan Owens would not turn out to be the man that he was today. Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Nathan's mother mother worked two jobs most nights, doing whatever she could to support the two kids she had without much help from anyone else. But even with the short comings he had his in his life, Nathan was never bitter or angry. If anything, the struggles him and his family had only made him more determined and stronger to make something great of himself. He stayed out of trouble, not wanting to cause any problems for his mother who had enough to deal with. Nathan channeled his excess energy into football, which was something his mother got him into when he was younger to not only keep him active and out of trouble, but so that he could have something productive to do after school while she finished with work.

Starting off in Pop Warner when he was just a child, Nathan was a natural at the sport and fell into the role of Quarterback easily over the years. By the time he hit high school, he was a local favorite already and by his sophomore year in high school he was starting Quarterback for his schools team team. For the first time in twenty years, his school was back on track to being one of the greatest football teams in the district. By the time his Junior year came around, Nathan accomplished what no had in two decades and landed his school a National title. He didn't just do it once either, his Senior year, he managed to score the school back to back titles.

Those huge wins and Nathan's natural talent had scholarships from colleges pouring in. Choosing to attend Boston College,  Nathan graduated with a degree in Kinesiology and played as Quarterback for four good seasons. Soon after graduation, Nathan found himself in the NFL draft where he was immediately picked up in the first round. During his first couple years, he was bounced around for a few years from team to team; playing for the Eagles, Bengals, and Jaguars. Nathan was quickly becoming the high school and college phenom that couldn’t hold up in the big leagues it seems, at least that’s what the critics were saying about him. It wasn't until he moved to the New York Giants where a huge turn around was seen in Nathan A successful few seasons had all eyes on Nathan all over again. Leading the Giants to a championship in 2012 and breaking a few records as well, Nathan Owens overnight became a household name. After a disappointing season in 2013, Nathan was ready to lead the Giants to hopefully a better season but his dreams were cut short when an injury put him on the sidelines for the remainder of the season. During that period of time, his contract with the NFL team expired and instead of picking him up for another few years, he was sent off as a free agent. Going unsigned for a few months had Nathan worried that his NFL dreams had come to an end but after yet another disappointing season, Nathan was picked up by the San Diego Chargers. Completely healed from his injury, Nathan is ready to get back on the field.

Isabella McIntyre ✗ Age: 22 ✗ Sexuality: Bisexual ✗  Occupation: Playboy Playmate & Model ✗ Kate Upton

“Once you go great, you never go good You never go back, even if you could I'll show you my way, I got that good-good You never go back, even if you could

Have you ever wished your life would change? Woke up and you lived your dreams Baby I could help you make that change I could show you how to do this thing”

Isabella McIntyre has always been the rebellious one in her family. She'd blame it on her unshakeable curiosity but really it had a lot to do with the way she was raised which fueled her need to live outside of the box that she was being put in. Growing up in a small town in the South and being the daughter to a pastor meant that Isabella's life was...limited, for a lack of a better word. Unlike the rest of her siblings, Ella had a difficult time fitting into the mold her family tried to shape her. Ella was and always had been a dreamer. She had a hard time living and abiding by the words her father was preaching on a weekly basis when she sought to live a life of her own, on her own terms.

Which was when she was eighteen, it came to little to no one's surprise when Ella opted against going to college and packed her bags to move across the country with nothing but a couple hundred dollars and a big dream. The Los Angeles she arrived to was nothing like she imagined it to be or what she read about in the various gossip magazines she obsessed over as a teenager. The reality was she broke with no job, no degree, and with little to no clue what was going on or what she should. Isabelle was a fish out of water but she refused to let the city eat her up and spit her out so that she went running back to Savannah, Georgia. 

It wasn't glamorous at first but Isabella eventually found work and started fending for herself. Working as a waitress for a few months had Isabella discovered and after being handed a business card, she was presented with an opportunity. That opportunity being to test for Playboy Magazine. It was a once in a lifetime change, that much Ella knew but she also knew that if she took the gig, there was a high chance she'd be completely cut off from her family. Her family could accept her wild ambitions, but possibly posing naked for a magazine was really pushing it and it almost guaranteed that she'd be shunned. But Ella's dreams and ambitions outweighed her families judgement. And after testing for the infamous men's magazine, at the age of nineteen Isabelle was officially dubbed Miss. April. That one magazine cover opened the door for a handful of of other opportunities. Almost three years, four centerfolds, numerous modeling jobs, and a Playboy of the year Title later, Ella is living the life she's living the life she's always wanted to.

Vivianna Kennedy ✗ Age: 29 ✗ Bisexual ✗ Pediatric Surgeon ✗ Meghan Markle

My lyrics revealing Some natural vibe It's a kind of laid back feeling Oh just let it ride And when Frank Sinatra sings It’s too much to take, yeah So I sing the standard shit It pacifies my ache

✗ Born and raised in San Diego, California  Vivianna Kennedy had a very vibrant life. Her childhood was kind of picturesque. even if she’d been the youngest in a family of five. A family full of beautiful and driven women…along with her father and her charming older brother. It was hard putting into words just how wonderful her parents had been. Her father was not only attentive, he was devoted to every single one of them. They all competed for his attention but it never seemed as if he had favorites. Sure, he had his outings with his son and his pride at his eldest daughter’s athletic achievements but he never had a favorite. Her mother was understanding and encouraging but unafraid to put her children in their place.

As intelligent and charming as she can be, Vivianna didn’t exactly enjoy the limelight or any type of attention. She much preferred to be alone, with her head in a book or something equally as enjoyable. An introvert to the highest power, the young girl succeeded spectacularly in school since her focus was on classwork. She’d need it since her main goal in life was to become a doctor.

Vivianna shone a little less bright than her older siblings. Far from ignored, she was simply sometimes…overlooked. She didn’t mind much. It gave her more of an opportunity to do what she loved. Read. Her teen years were filled with acne, hormones, and high school problems. Despite her status as non-popular, no one messed with her. if they did, they had to deal with her big brother, who was only two grades above her. He was the big football star and she was just…his baby sister. despite her “nerdy” tendencies, Vivianna managed to have the attention of a few guys.

They not only had to be willing to put up with being a secondary priority but they had to put up with six pair of eyes watching their every move. Three years of hard work paid off. At seventeen, she graduated from high school and won a national merit scholarship. It was one of the only times that her education had gotten her overwhelming positive attention from her family. They’d all been proud of her. She won a scholarship and became a National Merit Scholar.

College was the first time that Vivi had ever been away from home. On her own, she grew as a person. Her dream of being a doctor had gone from a little fantasy to a possibility. An actual reality. She got into five different colleges and chose the one closest to home. The University of California at San Francicso for their pre-med program. Getting into UCSF hadn’t been particularly easy but her grades and the scholarship helped. Somewhat. Vivianna still had to get a part time job to be able to afford simple living expenses.

Truth was, she wasn’t used to living alone. Sure her sisters had all moved out one by one, made a life for themselves. Her brother was off living his own life at the time. training to become a lawyer. They’d all been proud of him. and then there was little Vivi, in her tiny little dorm room with roommates she barely even remembered once they left her sight. If they weren’t a page in her book about the human skeleton, she didn’t exactly focus too much.

She graduated Magna Cum Laude at twenty one and i got a forty on the MCAT exam. All that was left was med school. Instead of branching out, Vivianna chose to stay close to home yet again. She went back to the UCSF and their School of Medicine program. Once back there, she spent four years working on a med school degree. After graduation, Vivi worked as a medical intern at the Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center for almost four years. Once she was done with her internship, she went into a residency program for general surgery, only she transferred to a UCLA Medical Center and began to specialize in pediatrics. She’s been there for almost three years now but was recently offered a position which gets her closer to her own unit.

"Well you can tell everybody Yeah you can tell everybody Go ahead and tell everybody I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am

Alexander Carmichael grew up in the world of fashion. So it comes to no one's surprise that his interests and career choices reflected that. His mother, Evangeline Carmichael, was famous clothing designer while his father, Christopher Carmichael, was a world renowned photographer. Growing up in Manhattan, New York, Alexander was shaped to become the epitome of a what a modern New York man of his status should be like. He was not only wealthy but well educated, charming, stylish and the air of arrogance that surrounded him wasn't too overwhelming that it made him unbearable to be around. 

Graduating with a B.S Degree in Marketing with a minor in Journalism from Harvard University, Alexander knew he didn't want to ride off the success of his own parents, he wanted to make his own name and path for himself. With the help of a few friends he had known throughout college, Alex created his own online Men's lifestyle magazine. With featured content about fashion, entertainment, travel, and the world as well. With his celebrity connections, articles and video content submitted by him and his partners as well, the online magazine became quite popular, with internet traffic in the millions on a daily basis. The magazine ran successfully for close to six years, coming to an end when not only Alexander, but his partners were presented with different opportunities. When GQ's West Coast Editor left the company back in 2010, the job was offered to Alexander and he's held the position for four years now.

Evelyn Brooks ✗ Age: 25 ✗ Sexuality: Straight ✗  Occupation: Unemployed  ✗ Kat Graham

"Novacane, baby, baby, Novacane, baby, I want you Fuck me good, fuck me long, fuck me numb Love me now, when I'm gone, love me none Love me none, love me none, numb, numb, numb, numb”

Evelyn Brooks is the third and youngest child to be born out of the union of Natalia and Joseph Brooks. If you don't know the Brooks last name, then you obviously live under a rock somewhere. Joseph Brooks went from being an award winning actor to an award winning director over the course of his almost thirty year career in Hollywood and Natalia Brooks is a French model who soared to superstardom in the 90's. Being the spawn of Hollywood Royalty, Evelyn would easily tell you that her life growing up was basically perfect. Born and bred with a silver spoon in her mouth, Evelyn was the epitome of spoiled, rich, and privileged. With her father being the it man in Hollywood and her mother being a former top model—you don’t think of the Brooks name without thinking of wealth and power; it’s how she was raised. 

But the grass wasn’t always green, despite the amount green that was being brought in. Despite her picture perfect and lavish life that she was raised in, behind closed doors, it was far from that in the Brooks household. Despite being together for years, the marriage between Natalia and Joseph Brooks was a tense one. After giving up her modeling career to take care of the three children then had together, Natalia had become the housewife that was fully dependent on her husband. Which made her powerless to the numerous affairs that Joseph openly had throughout their marriage. In her early teens, her parents went through a bitter and messy divorce, which Evelyn would easily claim as the changing point in her life. The very foundation that she was raised up on crumbled right in front of her eyes and there was little to nothing she could about it. What made it even worse was the fact that her father ultimately left not only her mother, but his family behind as well in order to begin a new life with his mistress turned fiance and the child that they were to be having together soon. With her mother broken and father pretty much abandoning and forgetting about the family he left behind, Evelyn never was the same out of it.

Of course Evelyn had her older siblings to depend on, but she took the divorce much differently then they did. Evelyn was never one to feel vulnerable or powerless as she did during those years of her life. Seeing her mother so broken and helpless made Evelyn vow to herself that she'd never fall victim to the same fate and be so dependent on a man, nor would she allow one to break her like her father did to her mother. As she continued to grow older, Evelyn soon began to indulge herself in various scandalous trysts. The rendezvous were strictly physical for Evelyn, who never allowed herself to get too attached to the men who she allowed to bed her.  The select few who she did frequent were kept around for their monetary value--not that Evelyn needed it but she got off and found power in having men bend to her every need, want and desire. Her cavalier attitude towards sex and men has earned her a reputation throughout the city, Evelyn Brooks is looked at as an easy score and the "wild one" out of the Brooks sibling. Evelyn doesn't pay the whispered chatter and glaring looks from the others, she doesn't really see the point considering she's probably already screwed their husbands anyways.

Ride or die chick with a pocket full of relish Jimmy Choo fetish keep me fresh like lettuce bitches get jealous cause I’m quite cocky since fourteen ain’t nah hoes stop me

✗ Toya has always been about getting shit done. From a young age she was someone who was about taking the lead, even if she was the youngest sister to two older brother. If ever there was a situation that needed leadership, she would always be the first to take the reigns. With Toya in the lead, there was always a bout of them getting into trouble, but thankfully the little spit fire was always clever enough to get them out. Since the age of eight, she’d always been good with words, charming to say the least. The little Latina always had a way of getting people to wrap around her finger, a trait that she carried to high school with her.

When Montoya hit high school, she was still the girl who could be found wrestling boys in the pack like she had when she was younger, but to say puberty did a number on her was an understatement. She became a red hot bomb shell to the student’s of Buena Vista High, but she still retained that bossy attitude and her tomboyish ways, helping take her basketball team to state twice and becoming one of the favorites on the track in field team. Her athletic achievements have always been what Montoya had been most proud of, but she couldn’t deny that she wanted more out of life, she wanted to see her name in lights, her desire to be known to be loved as clear as day.

So, Toya did what she could, taking college as a back up plan, she graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism and went about her life like doing her best to move forward in life. Her life however, hit an unexpected turn when she agreed to tag along with her friend to the local Laker Girl auditions at the Staples Center. Toya had never danced in her life, but when her friend challenged her to audition with her, her competitive nature wouldn’t allow her to say no. No one was more surprised than Montoya when she was officially asked to become an LA Laker Girl  pride surging through her bones as she’d lived in Oakland her entire life. She loved dancing with the squad, becoming the 2010 Laker Girl rookie of the year, and a favorite on the yearly calendar. Now in after her final year, the Lakers have opened up a lot of doors for Montoya. launching her modeling career and getting her name to be known slowly but surely. After all, Montoya’s not someone anyone could forget willingly, and that’s what she counts on.

Or rather they loved the potential she had because the present version of her didn’t seem to bring them any joy. Though being an emotionally stinted young girl, Sophia managed to express love and devotion to her two younger half-brothers even if the disdain for her father’s “dirty little secrets” could be seen clearly written all over Sophia’s mother.

Hidden beneath the metaphorical stone wall her parents encouraged her to put up, she only found her solace of happiness with her boyfriend, Davi. He was the last man Armando would have ever chosen for his daughter and that’s what made Davi so appealing to the teenage Sophia. He gave her strength and encouragement. It was enough to empower Sophia to abandon the care of her parents to be with him. She was 17 and he was 22 when they ran away to New York City. Her money drew him in and his charm pulled her in. Each used the other but were convinced it was love.

Once the two lovebirds got to New York, it was clear that they were doomed to fail. Sophia was disowned by her parents and then Davi no longer had use for her. He left her for an older widow and it opened the young girl’s eyes to what her life was now that’d made that faithful choice. It was too late though. She was all alone. Instead of falling into dismay, she used what genetics gave her. At age 19, Sophia began her spree throughout New York. Working as an exotic dancer and then an escort, she hooked up with powerful men who gave her money and adoration. It was the perfect combination.

Until she met one powerful man she couldn’t stay away from. Julian Bryant was a mystery and he was rich. He could see right through her and not only did that scare Sophia, it made her happy as well. After a year of fighting and fucking across two continents, Sophia and Julian decided to actually attempt to become an exclusive couple. She was dating a millionaire now. Sophia quit her dancing job and the one she did off the books. She gave modeling a try and after a few magazine spreads, walking in multiple shows, and many photoshoots with the lingerie giant, Victoria’s Secret, Sophia was added to their official roster. Julian proposed six months later and even though they planned to take the trip down the aisle...things didn't quite work out that way.

A year later, Sophia finds herself still single and not quite as content as she'd like to be. Her younger brother has found happiness and Sophia can't help but envy it even if she let go of the man she loved.

Selena De La Cruz ✗ Age: 23 ✗ Pansexual ✗ Art Student at UCLA/Server ✗ Sasha Grey

When you look at me tell me what you see a mind thats endless a soul thats yearning a heart thats priceless It’s time for me to confess show you what I’m about There be no more frontin baby Cause the real’s coming out.

Growing up in East Los had been hard. Selena tried her hardest to avoid the gangs and she always kept her head down so people wouldn’t notice her. It was the way her brother had taught her to be. He had been in a gang and was one of the lucky few that got out of that life and onto something a lot better after high school. Ricardo had taught her who to avoid and who she shouldn’t speak to. But she sometimes forgot and ended up doing the exact opposite of her brother’s advice. The brunette began to talk to a boy from the same gang her big brother told her to stay away from. They dated and he took her virginity. Selena thought she was going to end up marrying this guy until she found him in the back seat of his car with another girl. He had begged her to give him another chance but she refused and that’s when things got bad. The guy began to stalk her and threaten her to hurt her family if she didn’t get back with him. So out of fear she ended up getting back together with him until they graduated high school and he grew tired of her.

Selena knew she wanted to go to college but she also knew she didn’t have enough money for it. Ever since she was little she had a passion for art and drawing so she knew she wanted to pursue that career no matter the cost. She was in all the art classes that her school offered and she entered several contest so her work could be seen by many. The brunette worked at the local Mexican restaurant from the ages 15 to 18 trying to save up as much as she could for college. When she graduated high school she learned that she didn’t have enough money for college but instead of giving up she decided she would take a year off and work multiple jobs just so she could save up for school. Selena worked as a waitress and a house cleaner every other day. She came home exhausted late at night but she knew it was all going to be worth it in the end. By the end of that year she had finally saved up enough money for two whole semesters. She applied to UCLA and she’s now in her last year.

Selena now works at The Alibi serving drinks and learning how to bartend like her boss,Carina. She loves her job even though she isn’t the type of girl to hang around drunks. Selena is calm,humble,and overall a good person. She tries to see the good in people and tries to lend a hand to anyone that needs it. She hopes that one day she will leave Los Angeles and travel the world. She’s a young girl with big dreams and high hopes for her future. She hopes to somehow bring happiness and positive energy into the world with her art and her talent. Only time will tell if she will make it out of California.

Miguel Guzman ✗ Age: 40 ✗ Straight ✗ Owner of Guzman Auto ✗ Vin Diesel

Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we do Flossin but have caution we collide with other crews Famous cause we program worldwide Let’em recognize from Long Beach to Rosecrans Bumpin and grindin like a slow jam, it’s west side So you know the row won’t bow down to no man Say what you say.

Miguel was born and raised in East Los Angeles with his younger brother and his parents. His mother was a hair stylist at the local hair salon and his father was a mechanic who owned his own shop a few blocks away from his home. His mother,Sonia, is Chicana and an ex member of the Westside Playboys Crystal Bunnies who decided at age 23 that she didn’t want that life anymore and thankfully got out to become a mother and wife. She met Miguel’s father,Rodrigo, at one of her friend’s parties and she instantly fell in love with the man. Rodrigo came from Oakland and moved to East Los Angeles when he was about fifteen years old. His father had decided to open an auto repair shop there.

Miguel’s father wanted nothing to do with his wife’s past so he asked her to leave the gang life and start a family with him. Lucky for Sonia her father was a pretty big deal in the gang she was a part of and he understood when she told him she wanted to start her own family. Sonia didn’t have to watch her back because she left the gang like others did when they tried to get out of the life. At age 24 she had her first son,Miguel and a year later she had her other son,Gustavo. Miguel was a healthy and active boy from the start and he was all about cars because of his father. Miguel would spend his entire weekends at the shop learning from his old man. But Gustavo was different. He was diagnosed with Leukemia around age ten. Miguel watched as his younger brother disappeared before his eyes and he finally passed when Miguel was sixteen. It was then when Miguel’s rebellion began.

Miguel had always been pretty chill until the day his brother passed away. He went from a straight A/B student at school to barely showing up. He started hanging out with a local gang behind his parent’s backs. It wasn’t until he had started having arguments with his father that they noticed how much Miguel had changed. He had so much anger inside him he didn’t know what to do with it so they sent him to Oakland to live with his grandparents who had moved there a few years back. His behavior was still the same until his grandfather decided to sign him up at a local boxing gym to help Miguel with his anger issues. It helped and Miguel fell in total love with the sport. His behavior improved and he was able to graduate with nice grades.

Miguel went back to East Los after graduation that summer and met with his old friend,Alejandro, who was about to prospect with a group called The Mayans. The way Alejandro talked about the group made Miguel want to join it as well. So he began to hang out with some of the guys that year. They became his second family and they filled the hole that Gustavo’s death had left in him. When Alejandro and Miguel both turned 19 they began their prospect and officially became members when they turned 22. By that time,Miguel’s father had given his son the auto shop and business was good. The time to select a new president to the group came and without a doubt Miguel voted for his friend but it came as a surprise when Alejandro named Miguel Vice President. Now at age 41, He’s still running his auto shop and hanging out with his brothers. Miguel’s life is pretty chill and he’d like to keep it that way.

In this very moment I’m king In this very moment I slay Goliath with a sling In this very moment I bring, put it on everything That I will retire with the ring And I will retire with the crown, yes No, I’m not lucky, I’m blessed, yes Clap for the heavy weight champ, me But I couldn’t do it all alone, we.

✗ Kirty was born and raised in East Los Angeles and she wouldn’t change it for the world. Her mother was raised by a single mother and then by her older brother Alejandro. Kirty’s mother met her husband when Alejandro started hanging out with the Mayans. Kirty’s father worked as a mechanic and he had joined the Mayans about a year before Alejandro. Even though there was a bit of an age difference between her parents they fell in love. When Kirty’s mother turned seventeen she became pregnant with her first daughter,Viridiana.

It’s a funny story of how Viridiana got her nickname. Since her father was always under the hood of a car he would come home a bit dirty. Viridiana would get extremely excited to see her father come through the door. She would run to him and he would catch her his arms. She would then proceed to tell him, “Daddy,you’re so kirty today.” She had meant to say dirty but she couldn’t quite get the word down. It stuck as a nickname and she loves it. Her father is definitely her hero. He was the one who introduced her to the music she loves today. He was a big R&B and hip hop fan and she grew up listening to it. Kirty would also go out and watch the neighbor kids dance battle against each other for fun. She would go home and put on some music and dance alone in her room. When she turned 14 she asked her parents to enroll her in some dance classes, mostly hip hop and a little bit of other dances like salsa,cumbia,and merengue.

Now at eighteen years old she auditioned and got in into the Los Angeles school of performing arts. Her parents are very supportive of her decision to pursue a dance career and they know their daughter will make her dreams come true. Even though she seems like a nice and sweet girl she definitely is a surprise in a small form. Kirty is very loud and she loves being the center of attention. She won’t hesitate to call you out and tell you she doesn’t like you. She’s completely obsessed with her father’s club even though he has explained to her over and over he doesn’t want her to. She’s also very close to her uncle who is the president of the Mayan club. Kirty spends a lot of her free time around his gym hanging out with the boys.

Emilio "Chino" Reyes ✗ Age: 26 ✗ Straight ✗ Office Assistant At Santi’s Boxing Gym & Member Of The Mayan Motorcycle Club ✗ Michael Trevino

I’m on my worst behavior, Don’t you ever get it fucked up

✗ Emilio’s always been a hot head, from the moment he was born, he’d been the spitfire of his family of seven, the second oldest of five siblings learned to be a man at the age of ten when his father was killed in a bike accident, leaving his wife to raise five children and run a laundry mat by on her own. Seeing his mother struggle on her own made him angry, but Emilio’s anger also made him proactive. So, at the age of twelve Emilio began his side hustle. Running errands such as transporting drugs and cash  for the local biker gang, the Mayans in the street. As he grew, he was given the name “Lil Chino” after his father who was a member before his death. He earned his cut of money, giving it to his mother to help provide, never telling her where it came from. Emilio knew if his mother were to ever find out about where the money had truly come from, she would have been angry, knowing her husbands connections with the gang had a hand in his death.

It was at the age of 19 that Emilio finally decided to become a prospect for the Mayans, earning himself ejecting from his childhood home when his mother saw him with a cut on his back. He crashed at a friend’s house, working at Santi’s boxing gym while still running errands for the club, and playing  always remembering to pass on a share of his money to his mother and siblings regardless. He was patched in at the age of twenty two and since then his cut and his bike have been his pride and joy. adopting his father’s title of Chino and becoming one of the club’s most loyal members. Chino knows without his Mayan brothers he wouldn’t have been where he is today and values and respect the opinion of each and every one. They’re as much of his family and his blood as the one he was born with. Having his back through thick and thin and even through Paloma.

Paloma was a girl from the neighborhood that Chino was after from day one, the girl definitely gave the boy a chase, six months to be exact, telling him no every single time till he finally wore her down, and when he did the two were inseparable, he was at the girl’s every beck and call, working extra shifts and doing extra jobs for Ale to afford the things the the girl desired and keeping the two of them comfortable. Chino even bought the girl an engagement ring, and offered t go nomad as to move out with the girl to the east when she applied to grad school, however when she was accepted, she immediately broke up with him, telling him he was going no where and how she wouldn’t play old lady to a biker, throwing a three year relationship down the drain just like that and hopping on a plane, never looking back. Though the matter has been said and done for about a year, Chino is still bitter, spurning relationships and keeping the ring as a reminder as to why he does so. To him he still has his bike, his and his boys and right now, it’s all he needs.
