`Family`
Father:
-Faceclaim: Colin Firth
-Name: Jack O’Neill
-Short Bio: Army man through and through until his honorable discharge from the Army with a Purple Heart, used to be a friendly and outgoing man. After his discharge and handicap which left him in a wheelchair for life, Jack was no longer that friendly man. He became a gambler and a drinker, also verbally and mentally abusive to his family from his anger and pain at the way his lift turned out.
Mother:
-Faceclaim: Lili Taylor
-Name: Addison O’Neill
-Short Bio: A loving and patient mother/wife. She simply worked to pass the time once her kids were old enough and distract herself when Jack was deployed. But once he came home, Addison worked two jobs (One at a local diner and the other at a small grocery store in town) to keep food on the table, the lights on, and clothing on her children’s backs. She tried to keep Jack’s ire on herself as much as possible but refused to leave the man she’d been married to since she was legally able to do so, he was her high school sweetheart.
Older Brother:
-Faceclaim: Chase Crawford
-Name: Chase O’Neill
-Short Bio: Someone who couldn’t wait until he graduated to get away from his home and out into the world, not wanting to be near his abusive father and timid mother any longer. While he cared about his younger siblings his focus was always on himself. High School quarterback and top of his class academically, trying to get whatever scholarship he could get to run as far away. He ended up going to college on the opposite side of the country, rarely coming home for holidays and after a few years stopped calling. He became a high up in a law firm which eventually added O’Neill to their title.
Older Sister:
-Faceclaim:
-Name: Jessica O’Neill
-Short Bio: As the middle child it was almost easy for Jessica to never be home growing up, choosing to be out with friends running the streets until the early hours of the morning. She wasn’t the smartest book wise of the siblings but she was definitely the smartest when it came to common sense and being the people person much like their mother. Just like their brother, she couldn’t wait to graduate to get away from their father. But unlike Chase, Jessica’s love for their mother and Alexandra kept her from being completely selfish with her future plans. Jessica was more often than not Alexandra’s comfort person and the one who always showed the younger girl unconditional love. When she graduated, barely too many low grades and skipped classes, she went only a state away to a community college and always came back on holidays or Alexandra’s birthday. Weekly phone calls did dwindle down to monthly, especially once she met her future husband. She married at the young age of twenty one and had her first child at twenty three. Her husband made and makes enough as a banker (who came from a better off family than her own) so Jessica could be a stay at home mom. She may or may not have cried more than Addison when Alexandra joined the Army and she’s always the one to send letters and care packages. Jessica also convinced her husband to move back to Dublin once Alexandra was gone so she could be there for her mother more.
`1995 Forward`
When Nat leaves, Alexandra just kind of shuts down. Home life gets worse because Chase is on the other side of the country and Jessica is nearly out the door for her own college experience. Alexandra focuses solely on school, pushing away any remaining friends that were left and now that Nat is gone, some bullying takes place. Alexandra gets her first bouts of depression, her person is gone—while Jessica is close it’s not the same. So depression at home and school.
On one long bike ride around town to avoid going home Alexandra ends up finding an old rundown gym, the owner is ex-military like her father—has some damage mentally from being overseas but not like her dad. After coming around several times after school to watch and be away from home, the owner offers Alexandra a job of helping clean up around the place. He can tell the kid is running from something but never pries. There is where Alexandra’s interest in fighting starts; boxing, wrestling, anything that passes through. After she shows up with a black eye and roughed up clothes, the owner and a few of the fighters that know her decide to take her under their wing and teach her. Though they make her promise to never cross the line of protecting herself and using her knowledge to seriously hurt someone.
Junior year of high school Alexandra takes the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), she scores above average by a few points. Senior year she scores even higher, which leads to a recruiter talking to her, then her parents. Her father couldn’t give a damn but her mother doesn’t want her to do it. Jessica, who hates the idea, decides to be supportive. Alexandra graduates and enlists in the Army. She quickly climbs ranks until she falls into the special forces, aka black ops.
S.H.I.E.L.D. takes notice but neither Coulson or Fury himself can convince her to join...yet.
