Meet the Vulchanovs, your friendly neighbourhood Russians / casino-owning troublemakers! This lot has been in Haven for quite some time now, with a handful of them having immigrated from Russia during childhood and the rest being born and raised Canadians. Their story is a bit long and twisty so I’m gonna keep this fairly vague and if you’re at all interested in learning more or potentially participating, just shoot me a dm on discord!
So, for starters, most everything about the characters are up to the players. The solid canon, however, is this:
They’ve all got a lot of darkness in their blood.
Their father’s a career criminal and their mother has, unfortunately, passed away. They currently own a casino which they not only use to launder money for one of Haven’s most prominent families (possibly more tho?), but also to conduct their own not-strictly-legal enterprises (drugs, illegal sorts of betting, etc). However involved your character would like to be in all of that is up to you, and I’m absolutely not opposed to there being one or two on the outskirts or even directly opposing their family in some way! Have fun with things and make them yours!
The plot/family dynamic is based on Peaky Blinders, which is excellent and you should watch it if you haven’t, but we’re playing nice and loose with things so don’t feel like you have to at all stick to series canon! Names, ages, and fcs are open - however I’d really love it if the Arthur remained the eldest of the siblings!
Here’s who we have filled so far; anyone not listed is open!
Arthur Shelby: played by Oracle
Tommy Shelby: Misha Vulchanov (38), played by Sis
Ada Shelby: Sveta Vulchanova (32), played by Joey
Finn Shelby: Mila Vulchanova (22), played by Esti
Polly Gray: played by Tanya
Grace Burgess: Josephine Preaker (32), played by Nora
Lizzie Stark: Marie Léonie Le Livre (33), played by Mimi
Freddie Thorne: Tomas Gustafsson (37), played by Violet
Inspector Campbell (minus the gross): Ian Triggs (42), played by Levi
Brooks Investigations; aka your local hunks and heroes.
Got some small-time crimes you need uncovered? Small-town mysteries you’d like solved? Perhaps there’s a small child you can’t find? Or like, a small box you’ve misplaced somewhere and just can’t remember? Well that’s great because they really can’t handle anything too big, okay? That’s what the police are for. Kidding though, lol, come down to Brooks Investigations for all your investigatory needs and you’ll find that Barry Brooks, P.I., is the best in town which is probably because he’s the only [P.I.] in town (as far as he knows, which is either great or like, a huge red flag). Point is!!! He’ll get the job done!!! Unless it kills him!!! Or he just can’t do it!!!
Alright so HI I’m gonna be tossing something up specifically for Barry later, but right now I’m looking to 1. Develop his P.I. practice a bit which means, 2. Putting some feelers out for potential employees! At the moment, Barry is the boss. Will this change? Not unless you kill him but like, please don’t. What I’d like to give him is like private investigator partners - maybe a hacker, someone specialising in hunting shit down online because computers are not Barry’s forte. He’s more a pen-n-paper guy, you know? Maybe someone who is out on the streets with him? Maybe someone who looks really fucking good in wigs and disguises and honestly just wants a reason to show that off? These and more are all possibilities!!! Also he could desperately use a secretary or something to keep him grounded and organised and to peel him off the couch in the morning because he absolutely drank too much the night before and forgot his office wasn’t his home.
Anyway it’s all fairly open rn, you can hmu on discord or here on tumblr if you’re interested ty!!!!
