NAME: Anitha Vijay.

FACECLAIM: Simone Ashley.

AGE: 30.

GENDER: Female.

PRONOUNS: She/her.

SEXUALITY: Bisexual (Closeted; Identifies as Heterosexual).

OCCUPATION: Escort.

GANG: Tohum.

Anitha was born in the United States to two Indian Tamil parents. They loved her very much, but unfortunately they both passed away in a car accident when she was just a toddler. Anitha was a US citizen, and the rest of her family were in Tamil Nadu, so she spent the rest of her childhood hopping around between foster homes. Things were never really stable for her.

Her parents left her a decent sum of money in their will, but all of it went to tuition when she started college. In her final year, she started turning to rich men to give her that stability that she never had. So many men thought she was beautiful, and she took full advantage of that. It became the quality in herself that she valued the most.

Eventually she graduated, and decided to pursue modelling. However, she ended up getting recruited as an escort. It ended up becoming a career she enjoyed.

Marlo 'HiLo' Bishop

🂡 Playing for the high one Dancing with the devil Going with the flow It's all a game to me

[ ZOË KRAVITZ, CIS-WOMAN, SHE/HER ] Sometimes I wonder why people like that stick with this city. Who am I talking about? That’s MARLO BISHOP, they’re an UNAFFILIATED DIRTY CITIZEN that works as a HIGH-STAKES POKER PLAYER & UNDERGROUND CARD GAME ORGANIZER, if you can believe it. Hard to believe from a THIRTY-FIVE year old, right? Word has it that they’re just as CHARMING as they are OPPORTUNISTIC, but I can’t help thinking about THE DEVIL ON YOUR SHOULDER when I see them.

tws: parental death

when he was 8 years old, ariya's parents were killed in a fire at their apartment building. ariya and his older brother were taken in by their next of kin after some time, and moved to new york to live with their maternal aunt's family.

their aunt was... more or less quite well off. she married wealthy and had a good career for herself as a lawyer. she did not have any children of her own and happily took care of the kareem boys as if they were her own.

ariya grew interested in law through the virtue of simply being near his aunt. she was in love with her work and shared the good she was doing with the boys, raising them with the intention that they would follow and become good, upstanding citizens

both boys ended up going into law. ariya's brother was in law school when he disappeared. ariya, still in undergrad, suspected that there was some gang involvement one way or another. his remains turned up a year later, and his true cause of death was never confirmed or denied, though ariya continued to have his own suspicion.

got involved with the wraith after finishing up his time as a junior lawyer at a large law firm. still interested in finding out what happened to his brother but puts that aside to be the world's greatest bitch <3

vibes: being a luxury a few can tolerate, wanting to leave a handsome corpse, impulsivity, superficial charm, grandiose sense of self-worth, obsessive thoughts, self-punishment, self absorbed, hobbies of betrayal and serving cunt, gossiper extraordinaire.

[ ALDIS HODGE, MALE, HE/HIM ] Man, I wouldn’t want to get on their bad side. Who am I talking about? That’s MARCUS WILLIAMS, they’re the UNDERBOSS for WRAITH. Not what you’d expect from most THIRTY FIVE year olds, right? Word has it that they’re just as CHARMING as they are RUTHLESS, but I can’t help thinking about THE SOUND OF A GUN SILENCER GOING OFF IN THE SHADOWS, CHARMING IN ANY SITUATION, BLOODY WRAPPED KNUCKLES, NEVER FORGET THE STREETS YOU CAME FROM, THE SMELL OF PATCHOULI AND SPICE when I see them. 

Born in Brownsville, Marcus never knew who his father was. With three younger siblings and a mother who rotated men in and out of their small one bedroom, the responsibility to take care of his younger siblings fell on him after his older sister ran off at age 13 when he was 10.

It shouldn't be a surprise he fell into crime pretty quickly. Petty stealing just to get some food for his siblings, than bigger items so they had coats for the winter. Soon he graduated working for some street gang in the neighborhood as a runner and a lookout.

They older he got the deeper he got as they taught him. Marcus always had a drive to better himself and the smarts to push himself. He learned to fight and to shoot and how to evade the law.

When he was 16 his mother died of a drug overdose. All four remaining children were sent into foster care and separated. Marcus vowed to get his siblings back. At age 18 he started formally adopting his younger siblings. While he was fine with the life of crime for himself he wanted a better life for them so he made sure each and every one graduated high school and stayed clean.

Soon his skills exceeded past what the group of thugs he ran with could offer. Marcus started doing his own jobs for those willing to pay. It didn't take long before he found someone willing to pay for a hit. When the job was done well, Marcus was led to the Wraith. He started low, but proved himself every day and rose through each and every one of the ranks through the years until he was one of their best trainers.

He may be a cocky and charming son of a bitch, but Marcus was good at his job with a talent for leading as well as being deadly. He was picked by Diego to be the underboss relatively recently. The two may clash personally, but Marcus was picked for his skills as well as playing the politics.

[ EMILY RATAJKOWSKI, FEMALE, SHE/HER ] Man, I wouldn’t want to get on their bad side. Who am I talking about? That’s ISABELLA TORRIO, they’re the CAPTAIN for TRIPTYCH. Not what you’d expect from most THIRTY TWO year olds, right? Word has it that they’re just as POISED as they are DECEITFUL, but I can’t help thinking about OLD MONEY VIXEN, SILK SHEETS SOAK UP ALL TEARS, YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN, I AM MY FATHER'S DAUGHTER, HIGH HEELS CLICKING IN BLOOD, DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND when I see them. 

Originally born Isabella Adler, she was the second born but eldest daughter of a powerful mafia family in Chicago. She always knew she was destined for greatness and was molded to fit that path.

Isabella was raised with a silver spoon and never wanted for anything. Wealth came with extensive wardrobes, country clubs, jet-setting, an ivy league education and anything she wanted. However, her father raised her to be a viper in the crime world as well. She learned to fight, to shoot, to kill and to rule.

After college she relocated to NYC to start a modeling career. The job was simply a cover as she used her connections in the modeling world and the world of the elite to expand business and make deals in New York's crime world on behalf of her family.

She met Nico Torrio at age 26. They fell fast and hard for each other consumed by passion. Their names meant something and when they decided to marry only a year later it was the bonding of two great crime families in two great cities. Truly a royal marriage. They were to be the perfect power couple.

Worked her way up once she joined the Triptych to prove she was more than both of her surnames. Now she serves as Captain and her red lips hide a true danger one would not think to cross.

Her marriage is no longer perfect. She knew Nico had affairs before their marriage and even during times when they were together. But he had promised her it would all end when they were married. About a year and a half into the marriage she discovered he was cheating on her. It's been endless cycles of heartbreak, promising to end them, only to slip up once more. But Isabella will not leave the marriage. That's not for people like them. Now she begrudgingly tolerates the affairs with strict rules in place for them and especially for Nico.

They have a son aged three name Paul Junior. Isabella is not a very hands on mother but she still wants a kingdom for him to rule over one day.
