“Dynamite is loyal to the one who lights the fuse.” - Dean F. Wilson
“Well, I’ll be damned. Thought you’d be dead in the slammer by now, Ko.” Former Police Officer Michael Hernadez crossed both arms while standing in the middle of one old-time alley. He was now sporting this black jacket despite wearing a sleeveless hoodie that layered directly underneath.
“Well, I’m not.” It was not long before Koslow shook his head and stepped forward to reveal his phone from one back pocket. Horns honked. Drivers bellowed in return, attempting to dodge traffic all throughout the starless evening.
“What you need? Without the badge holding me down, I’ve got all kinds of favors in the city, but nobody’s a true friend.” Hernandez went on, laughing between words as delicious scents mingled to his nostrils and music thundered in the distance from ongoing vehicles.
“I need answers, Mike.” Koslow handed over his cell phone, letting Hernandez examine the otherwise scanned photograph quickly. Only moments later, Silence fell despite nearby commotion of the city as these two men stood.
“Oh, shit. Are you serious, Bro?” Hernandez laughed once more, bridging shock and irony as he lifted Koslow’s phone himself.
“Wouldn’t travel all this way if I was joking. Where is she?” Koslow probed, gritting his teeth without stepping forward again.
“Even if I knew, I’m not telling you shit. You haven’t seen Kris in years and stepping through her door won’t change anything.” Hernandez spoke up, putting his foot down soon after. “Aren’t you married now, too?”
“Sounded a little protective there. I’ve been gone for a minute, but is there something going on between you two?” Koslow finally stepped, closing space between him and Hernandez. A brick wall seemed to cage them both.
“Doesn’t matter. Kris seeing anyone else in the world is so much better than you, Ko.” Hernandez already lifted both hands, but asserted his own frustration regardless of the tension.
“Jealousy’s a bitch. Always hated that about you, Mike. Tell me what I need to know in the next five seconds, or you’ll bleed out before paramedics even notice.” Koslow lowered his voice, rasping vengeance.
“You armed, Gringo?” Hernandez asked, leveling his tone at last.
“Is the fucking sky blue?” Koslow stepped back, revealing the concealed gun hidden by the side pocket of his own dark slacks.
“Tried killing me last time and it didn’t work. If I make one simple phone call, you’ll never breathe fresh air again and go right back to prison where bastards like you belong.” Hernandez no longer laughed between words, stoic in tone once more.
Just when Koslow planned to speak again, his cell phone buzzed in Hernandez’s hand. Hernandez then tossed over the same device and in return, Koslow palmed the phone right back, picking up its call soon after.
“Kos.” Pete replied, shouldering his phone.
“Looking for me?” One woman answered the other line, hissing through one slight New Jersey accent.

QUICK HISTORY
• Ches is the youngest of five children, and the only daughter - because of that fact, she's kind of daddy’s little princess. If she wants something and she whines to her father - she gets it.
• Her and every single one of her siblings were born in Paris, as her mother was a first generation immigrant and she wanted her own mother to be there to see her grandchildren come into the world. Edward wasn’t usually present, the twin’s birth was the only exception. After three boys before, he wanted to be there for his daughter’s birth. Although he quickly flew back home afterwards, business never liked to wait.
• As a small child. Ches was extremely close to her mother, it wasn’t uncommon to see Ches imitating and following Julia around when she was little. Losing the woman when she was six shook her, and she still to this day has nightmares about her mother’s death.
• You see, Ches was with her mother when the woman was murdered (over wanting to file for divorce), and she found out what her father truly was after overhearing an argument in his study afterward. It does make her relationship with the man a bit more complicated than most parent/child ones. She loves her father a lot, she just doesn’t love what he does and how he handles situations.
• Her father, of course, never took the fall (or the blame) for the situation. He would send his children to Paris every summer break to ensure they were still connected with the Andrieux side of their family and as much as their heritage as possible. In many ways, Ches loves France more than America.
• As a teenager, her first love broke her heart badly. Abusive and cruel, her father made him disappear one summer when she was away but it wasn’t before was permanent damage to how she views relationships. After the boy slept with her brother and swore he never loved her, Ches tries to avoid that kind of heartbreak like the plague. She’ll happily sleep with you, but don’t be surprised if she tries to sabotage any time love might actually be on the table. Maybe she’ll get there someday, but she’s not at that point in her life.
• She graduated from The Trinity School as valedictorian before enrolling in Columbia’s English Program. She intended to go to the Ivy League until she received a doctorate but then the incident happened.
• When she was walking through a part of Central Park on a visit to her father’s, she ran into some of his less than pleased business associates. The mob princess was a notable target, after all, if you hurt the girl, you get to her father. Before they could go through with their plans however, there were gunshots and talks of disposing of bodies. Her father had assigned her a tail, unknown to her.
• It was at this point the act of pretending that she had no idea what her father does was up. Her father confessed to her, and she admitted she had known since her mother’s death all those years before. Sending her out of the country wasn’t exactly an easy decision but her father’s fear for her safety wasn’t something easily shook.
• Versalies was an easy choice for her code name, Ches’s love for France shining through even in her attempt to remain anonymous.
( CINDY KIMBERLY / FEMALE / SHE/HER ). VALERIE CASTILLO is a TWENTY-ONE year old UNDERGRAD student studying DANCE & MUSIC. they are known for being VIVACIOUS & WINSOME, but also being NAIVE & IMPRESSIONABLE. if there was a song that described her life, it would be CONFIDENTLY LOST by SABRINA CLAUDIO.
hi hello i’m lacey and you might know me as the second goon help out on the main
here’s my first baby val and i bring her with me everywhere i go. bio, stats, wanted connections coming soon buuut until then? here’s a quick rundown for my mess of a child !
death tw, mob/gang tw, blade tw, gun tw, blood tw. please let me know if i missed any!
background
she’s the poster girl of a wealthy, socialite family — her father is the ceo of an establishment on wall street and her mother is an ex-model now taking care of the social aspects of the family
i could see val coming to maryland from new york about three years ago to attend university n all
she is a cheerleader and on the dance team
also the sigma epsilon chi social chair, and wrongfully in elites social club ( hint hint give me bad influence plots )
personality (how she is around others)
val is like this lil ray of sunshine ok
she loves learning about others and is very warm and exuberant in demeanor. she loves to poke fun at others and herself in any attempt to make her company smile
basically your girl-next-door? probably also seen as a goodie-two-shoes but is plenty adventurous if her company gives her that little extra push
tends to be naive and wide-eyed, hasn’t experienced much and has life handed to her on a silver platter so she’s not very good at telling if her company has bad intentions!!
just think very very childlike
also? a klutz. haven’t you heard? she’s gettin her phd in tripping over flat surfaces
probably only truly elegant on the dance floor lbr
quirks
loves flowers. loves to be around flowers just loves everything about them
you can almost always see her wearing the color red
occasionally slips into spanish while talking to herself
easily swayed so destroy her at all costs thanks
i mean it
the castillo-guerrera family
one thing no one knows about the castillos is that it’s not their real last name! AUDIENCE GASPS
GUERRERA is the second and authentic last name that’s been passed down for generations. this is the last name that is also famously associated with one of new york’s largest and most feared underground organizations.
her father fronts as a businessman on wall street but also runs cartel operations off the clock. this, obviously, prompted a lot of dangerous events — including the demise of the beloved emmanuel castillo.
val had a brother who passed away in 2015 ( this is right before val left for college ). word came back that it was an intentional hit by a rival mob after something went awfully wrong in one of the mob operations.
her fury and need for vengeance thus prompted her to go under her father’s wing and learn the tricks of the trade. it took her two years to properly train, but now she is one of the top marksmen in her father’s mob. don’t be fooled by her façade.
she still goes home often to assist in operations and is probably expanding trade in maryland or practicing combat when she’s “at dance practice” ROLLS EYES
wow this got so dark so fast?? it’s not a phase mom
bt ya
slaps down this outline like a madman !
once again like this or come talk 2 me 2 PLOT the world is our oyster
i’m sure the incident still has the TWENTY-THREE year old STUDENT & DANCER on edge. they’re known around treeville as EXUBERANT & WINSOME – but can be CALCULATED & TWO-FACED if you get on their bad side. she couldn’t have done it, though, because during the incident she WAS HELPING VIVIAN’S FATHER’S MOB CARRY OUT AN OPERATION.
bio [ x ] ; death tw, mob/gang tw, blade tw, gun tw, blood tw. please let me know if i missed any.
stats [ coming soon ] ;
wanted connections [ x ] (still under construction, look out for more additions!) ;
the bio will definitely tie together all loose ends this intro may have but feel free to come ask me anything if you don’t wanna read lmfao
sooo here’s a quick rundown for my mess of a child.
background

i could see val coming to treeville from new york about three years ago to finish university! she’s still somewhat new to the area, but has definitely made herself relatively cozy by now.

since she moved to treeville three years ago, she has been assisting vivian’s father’s mob carry out jobs and operations. while her true intentions sometimes seem unclear, valerie has proven her loyalty to their mob, time and again.
though it seems she’s here to seek big connections and expand trade according to the other mob members, this is also acts as somewhat of a front while she continues to hunt down leads to look for the person who took her brother's life.

º◦・✧・◦º ┊BENEDETTA GARGARI, SHE/HER & CISFEMALE ┊ damn, look at ROSA LILIANA DE RICCI this year! i heard that they’re SEVENTEEN and have lived on the NORTHSIDE for 1 month. also, they tend to be ERUDITE but also IMPULSIVE, just incase you wanna get on their good side. ( penny / 20 / cst / she/her )
‘sup this is rosa and she’s a super extra ass bitch and is uhhh aggressively italian
u can thank @mvdge for giving me this idea
rosa was born and raised in ITALY to the age of 10, having no idea of what her family in america was like
however, she was raised as if she were raised in america ( more on this later )
she comes from a very rich family, of old money.
rosa can speak italian, english, spanish, french, and understand latin.
she’s a lil bit of a genius; but doesn’t show it off. she was privately tutored since a young age and her IQ is v. v. v. up there - tho her and her family never took an interest in it and she never got her iq messaged. rosa and her parents knew she was smart, that’s all that really mattered.
she did swimming, track & field, tennis, karate, and ballet since a very young age as well.
her social skills are decent enough; her parents never really socialized her, but the maids and workers in her house often had their children around - and she went out with them to do errands, so she basically socialized herself.
that being said, she’s the type of girl who believes people should talk ONLY if they have something to say. she doesn’t really like small talk or shallow conversation. it’s useless to her.
her parents were loving, but not around all too much. she was mostly raised by the help in her house. she is not LOVELESS, though. just picky with who she chooses to lay her affections on.
she moved to america when she was 10, and the first course of action with her parents was attending her uncle’s, aunt’s, and grandparent’s funeral - all on the same day.
that was the first thing that made her consider something was wrong.
later, around the age of 13, she finds out her family is involved with the american italian mob, and they’re definitely a BIG THING in cities such as new york and chicago. her family members died due to their involvement.
she was never involved in the politics of it, nor has any interest in it; though, rosa chooses to reap the benefits until she can provide well enough for herself.
she’s in RIVERDALE bc it’s getting ... rough in the cities between family wars, and her family wants her in hiding.
but lowkey some families kno about her okay it’s bound to be known so that may ... tie in later\
so now she’s just chilling in riverdale, in school and shit.
fun facts:
red lipstick is her STAPLE, so is her short hair.
she doesn’t dress to revealingly; but tends to go for darker colors, button ups, turtle necks, and mom jeans.
a feminist. will stand up for other women and people in need.
can definitely protect herself, knows how to shoot a gun and fight with a dagger.
she doesnt say a lot in big groups, and doesn’t like attracting drama to herself. but - she will say something if she thinks something needs to be said.
aggressively italian dont you dare ever say ur tired of pizza she’ll fight u
italian curse words are her curse words of choice
drunk!rosa definitely switches her languages without control lmfao
will probably go into social work
works at a small italian restaurant in town. u can take the girl outta italy but u can’t take italy outta the girl.
co-captain of dance team
the mom friend
is already ready to graduate
wanted connections:
lmfao lets get this bitch some friends !
but also someone she can be protective over !
a fling ?
a hookup !
an enemy !
a mentor !
a cuddle buddy she like cuddling a lot
a roommate!
uh other things too im sure i’ll come up with more with w/ brainstorming
A GIRL SQUAD // girls have to get along with @viixened and @fivlds !
DRUNKEN CONFESSION › WHAT IS YOUR DEEPEST, DARKEST FEAR?
“ aren’t i supposed to answer that by saying nothing –– nothing scares me? “ manicured fingers toyed with the steam of the glass in her hand as she leaned in closer to viv. “ i mean, sure, okay i’ve had guns to my head, i work with a bunch of mobsters, people’s lives are in my hands every day and yeah it’s easy to feel fear in those moments but- “ now there was a pause, her eyes dropping to the dark liquid in the glass before bringing it to her lips for one last sip. “ none of that matters, though. none of it. what happened halloween night solidified that. if i lost you, naomi – i can’t even think about losing matty. it hurts to even think about any of it, viv. losing any of you - anyone i love terrifies me. “
