um!!!!!!! i’m not v well acquainted w your characters yet so!!! who are the valentino’s n what do they do (: <3 just general info if you wanna talk abt it or whatever andbmanf 🥺
So the Valentino’s are a crime family that work for the Durante family, which is a part of an underground political empire.
The Valentino’s themselves are Brian Valentino, Plethora Valentino, and Cassandra Valentino. All three of them are married to each other in a closed polygamous relationship (I think that’s how you would refer to it).
Brian Valentino works for a small drug faction responsible for producing opioids and sedatives for use on political prisoners, to slowly introduce drugs into a country that lacks any kind of narcotrafficking (usually these kinds of jobs r paid in high amounts and very rarely happen due to the risky nature of it), and to deal drugs to politicians who just wanna get high. Personality wise he’s standoffish, blunt, rough around the edges, and extremely loyal to those who he cares about, which is only his husband and wife. He acts a lot without thinking, is fairly antisocial, and quick to judgement.
Plethora Valentino is an assassin who’s usually signed to assassinating lower political officials or is in charge of training any newbies that come in either from the SLATE program or from the military, since Plethora is considered a veteran assassin at the point he’s at. A lot in his job is mostly setting up dates and methods of how someone is going to get whacked, but if he’s the one doing the killing it’s most of the time him being a sniper. His biggest hit was a Vice President which required him to be in hiding for about 3 months. However what ended up as the biggest hit because of how badly it went was of Ivans wife, which prompted an unplanned 4-6 month hiding which ended up being extremely… traumatic. Plethora is an outgoing wiseass, usually getting along with anyone he meets or has to work with and has a more childish personality. He’s quick to anger, brash, and loyal to anyone he cares about. After the assasination of Mrs. Frikoski however he became very closed off and anxious, often confused on what day it was, and forgetting anything he had to do for the day.
Cassandra Valentino is the chief executive of The CFTC and is responsible for monitoring and changing stock numbers and what markets are set to become more mainstream in the public for their investments, as well as making sure parties on the market meet their contractual obligations. She is to notify anyone in her section of the industry if there is going to be a planned market crash or increase value to specific popular or underinvested but known stocks. She’s a cunning yet reserved woman, always psychoanalyzing people and treating them more as if they’re a list of information rather then people. She’s fairly shy if she can afford to be, but is assertive and has a sense of commandingness to her.
While she doesn’t every show up with her family (cause they… yk… die…) Brenda Valentino is their child that was born outside of Cassandras womb as a kind of experiment by the Frikoski’s after they murdered everyone. That didn’t work and she was put into adoption and was fostered by a family who neglected, physically, and emotionally abused her. She got into the anarchist political scene as a teenager, especially since it really took off with underground groups during the new Frikoski empire era, where they finally ran away from home, started HRT, and became an “enemy of the state” as she would half jokingly refer to themself as. She became notorious for helping conduct and participating in a mass shooting against a hate group that was about to execute multiple people for racial reasons. She’s also wanted for tax evasion, credit card fraud, assault with a deadly weapon, multiple other assault charges, murder of law enforcement officials, and is classified as being a terrorist (also keep in mind this is a different world now then what we have so they also would be arrested for things regarding freedom of speech since there’s no amendment for that anymore, and things she is wanted for differs slightly for how it would work in our world. Either way she would absolutely still be classified as a terrorist.) Brenda is a very ruthless person, her formative years skewing her sense of morality and furthering her hatred towards society and even the world before she was born. However despite this she does have a strong moral code and opinions on what is right or wrong (despite knowing morality is technically made up and she has problems with a lot of takes on it), although it is still clouded by her violent behavior and extreme measures she’s willing to go for them, and while she doesn’t believe in justice being served by any government or group of people, she still will try to help people if they’re in a current bad situation. To her avenging people is pointless because it’s not going to prevent anything from happening again and to them they think it’s more about people feeding their savior complex. But she has come across rotten people in her time that have done horrible things to people such as children that she has helped people kill. She’s someone that most people have a problem with if they follow a “violence is not the answer” mindset. While she fights and believes in good causes she’s extremely violent and causes just as much death (outside of system caused deaths) as the people she’s against. She doesn’t impose her methods or ideologies onto other people cause like I said she doesn’t believe in group led vengeance unless literally everyone is on board and there isn’t a definite leader. It’s up to you to decide if she’s a good person or not.
