{DELANEY HUTCHINS} looks a lot like {CLAIRE HOLT}! the {28 YEAR OLD}, {FEMALE} is a {BARTENDER/MED STUDENT}. they can be {COMPASSIONATE & LOYAL } but also {UNFORGIVING & JUDGMENTAL }. for the past {28 YEARS}, chicago has been their home.

ok so ive completely revamped her and if you wish to plot, just hmu on discord okies? okies.

ok so she was born to two wealthy parents; her father a doctor with his own private practice and her mother an attorney. it's safe to say she was and still is extremely spoiled.

she was extremely promiscuous in high school until she was 17, she met a guy and fell in love and they got married when she was 19. however, at 23, he found out she was cheating and she was extremely unsympathetic about it and signed annulment papers.

during her marraige, she develops a drug habit but knocked it around the age of 26.

ummmm she's extremely closed off and can easily seem rude and even at times, bratty, only showing her soft and vulnerable side to her close friends and family.

her biggest pet peeve is being late anywhere, especially by a second and has the tendency to write off anyone who is late to meet with her, or makes her late anywhere

[sohailarya]

{SOHAIL ARYA} looks a lot like {RAHUL KOHLI}! the {31-YEAR OLD}, {CISMALE} is a {POLICE OFFICER}. they can be {INTELLIGENT & COMPASSIONATE} but also {SECRETIVE & INTENSE}. for the past {5 MONTHS}, chicago has been their home.

hello!! i’m nicki and i’ll be playing sohail, he’s a sweetheart with some issues but i’m really excited to play him and if anyone wants to plot or come up with some connections to fit or literally just to tell me abt ur character hit me up, i wanna know all abt them!!

sohail was born and raised in queens where his parents owned a convenience shop and he lived with two younger sisters

he planned to become a firefighter but when his younger sister was fourteen she was mugged and sexually assaulted so sohail’s ambitions changed and he joined the police force

he prefers to be an officer on the ground rather than working at a desk so hasn’t campaigned too hard to be promoted or move up the ranks which has some people label him as unambitious but it’s really because he enjoys the job he’s working at now

he never thought he would leave new york

he began a relationship with a woman on the force in queens for a year but she was killed during a drug bust of which he was also a part

sohail is wracked with guilt about what happened on the bust so asked to be transferred to chicago to rid himself of his ghosts and start afresh

while he comes off as very approachable and open, it takes a long time for him to open up about his past and secrets

he can be overly impulsive which affects both his jobs and his relationships as his instincts aren’t nearly as good as he thinks they are

sohail doesn’t like being alone so would probably like a roommate whom he either knew somehow before he moved or just answered an ad when he moved to the city

he can be quite full on with people especially with friendships and his intensity can scare people off

he’s a liar tbh but mainly because he would rather lie to save someone’s feelings than tell them the truth and upset them

can be quite defensive but can’t hold a grudge for shit so even if he does get angry with someone he forgives them the next day

definitely tells people aspects of cases he’s not meant to share with them because he has a big mouth when it’s not about himself

bi af but really cautious about relationships since his ex died

always plays good cop during interrogations

reads his horoscope every day

over sugars his coffees but drinks it black so people think he means business

super scared of being lonely in the city and really doesn’t want to be left with his own thoughts so goes out of his way to make friends

[bouncer-samking]

{SAMUEL 'SAM' KING} looks a lot like {MICHAEL B JORDAN!} the {32-YEAR OLD}, {MALE} is a {BOUNCER}. they can be {FOCUSED AND OUTGOING} but also {STUBBORN AND ARROGANT}. for the past {THIRTY-TWO YEARS}, chicago has been their home.

Samuel was born and raised in Chicago as an only child with a single mother. He's very close with his mom as she was always there for him, but he doesn't remember his father as he left them when he was born

They lived in a rough neighborhood and his mom worked two jobs

Growing up not having a lot was tough but Samuel made sure to make his mom always happy, always having a smile on her face even when he wasn’t happy himself

He prefers to be called Sam as his mom only calls him Samuel

He got pushed around and kept mostly to himself, even when he was a teenager

Relationships didn’t come easy for him as he didn’t open up much, but he found that he loved love and he wanted to protect whoever he loved

He graduated high school and college out of state and came back home to live with his mom who still hasn’t re-married. He wants her to, but she’s happy with her life as it is

‘You’re such a happy boy’, his mom always said to him and still does to this day. 

He works as a bouncer outside nightclubs and when he’s not working, he is in the gym working out, mostly boxing or walking around the city

When he doesn’t have a good day or is feeling aggressive, he takes it out by boxing at the gym and feels that it’s a passion for him, like boxing could be something more

He loves meeting people and making friends, especially if it as a bar or at a random coffee shop

[isabella--abrams]

Isabella Rose was born in Boston, Massachusetts, with two loving parents who cared about her endlessly and worked hard to give her the life she deserved

When she was ten years old, her mother gave birth to her younger sister but both her mother and her sister ended up dying to complications during childbirth. When this happened, her father changed drastically, becoming an alcoholic and didn't care for her anymore

Isabella knew that she had to independent at a young age so she continued to go to school and get high grades, achieve her goals and grow to be an outstanding person

She ended up moving to NYC to go to college and she partied a lot, but once she met the man of her dreams, Beckett Abrams, her whole life changed. After a couple of years, they got married and had a baby named Thomas.

Of course life was scary with a baby on the way, but Isabella knew that she wanted this baby and wasn't going to give up on it. When her first ultrasound came along, they both fell in love within seconds.

When Thomas was three years old, the Abrams family got into a devastating accident with Isabella and Beckett getting badly hurt and Thomas was killed

The two decided to move to Chicago for a fresh start, but not much was successful towards that

The two don't talk about Thomas or anything much, everything is sad and to fill the void they just fight. Isabella wants to work things out and she's trying her best

She is a Social Worker - inspired to help others in need and give them the best life as her parents did for her

[elizxbennett-blog]

{ELIZA BENNETT} looks a lot like {HALSTON SAGE}! the {TWENTY-FOUR}, {FEMALE} is a {WAITRESS AT ITALIAN VILLAGE}. they can be {PASSIONATE AND LOYAL} but also {TEMPERAMENTAL AND STUBBORN}. for the past {SIX MONTHS}, chicago has been their home.

tw: miscarriage mention 

Hi! I’m Bobbie. I’m gonna be playing Eliza (And also Xander.) If anyone would like to plot I would absolutely love that so just let me know !! In the mean time, there is more info about her below!

Eliza is the youngest Bennett sibling. She moved here with Daniel and is closest with him.

She is the black sheep of her family. She never wanted to fit into what their parents wanted from her and so she didn’t. She was labeled a troublemaker from very early on. She kicked out and did whatever she could in order to get herself free from her familys image. She was kicked out of school multiple times, which ultimately landed her in boarding school.

Eliza was just as bad in boarding school than she was at home but she was sneakier about it. No-one knew it was her and she made sure to pin it on someone else. It happened enough that they got kicked out of school. Eliza, however, was fine.

Eliza stayed in school for as long as she had too. And she barely passed. She put just enough world in to make sure that she passed. 

Eliza had the option to go to college, if she wanted. Her parents had enough money to bribe her way in but she refused. Just another way she found to kick out at her parents.

She found herself in a little rut. Eliza had always been a good writer. Her imagination had always been huge but she had never really given herself a chance to do it. She writes in her spare time, when no-one else is around. 

There was one person who Eliza trusted, outside of her brothers,  and that was someone she knew from boarding school. He had always been kind to her and she found herself caring more about him than she probably should have. 

The relationship which resulted was a whirlwind or emotions. It wasn’t especially healthy for either of them. And it wasn’t long into it when Eliza found out that she was pregnant. She told her boyfriend and he bolted, completely breaking Elizas heart.

It was around this time when Daniel moved to Chicago and Eliza jumped at the chance to escape. 

Se never told anyone else about her pregnancy and it wasn’t long after she moved to Chicago when she lost it. She’s still trying to figure out how she really feels about it all. 

Eliza is an incredibly emotional person. She doesn’t feel anything without it being everything. It is all or nothing with her.  And she has her heart very much on her sleeve because of it.

She’s bi.

She just wants to be accepted for the person that she is.

BIO

Theodore Cain was born in the quaint village of Alfriston, in East Sussex, England, but grew up mostly in South Africa, but spent a large amount of his time globetrotting. His parents were Archaeologists, who traveled all over the globe, and Theo was quick in catching the family bug for adventure and travel, and learning new or extraordiary things about the world and it’s many different cultures. He and his sisters were homeschooled, due to their location constantly changing - but the education they got was top-notch, and they all excelled in their studies. After graduating from Cambridge at 23, with an impressive list of degrees, certificates and other academic credentials to his name, Theo became co-employed by the university and the British Museum for his research and documentations of his travels. Sure, he was told where and when to go to his destinations, and every place he went, it was more for educational and documentational purposes than pleasure, but he enjoyed almost every location anyways, and made every trip count. He was rarely alone in his travels - often teams of professors or other researchers or scientists would accompany him, and he learned new information almost daily from all of them. The thing he loved most about his line of work was that no matter how old you were or how educated or experienced you were, you were still constantly learning and discovering new things -a lot of it coming from the people right next to you. To Theo that was thrilling, and something he wouldn’t trade for the world. Or, that was the case, until he became a father at the age of 33. While visiting the northern U.S., Theo had met a beautiful young woman named Rebekah. It was a romance that was not meant to be, unfortunately, but when his twins Aiden and Adelaine were born, he made the tough decision to relocate from England to Chicago to be there for his children. What was great about his job, though, was that he only occasionally had to travel back to England, as most of his work he could just fax or email to the university and the museum. He still traveled and did his job as a researcher, but not nearly as much. He was gone two weeks every two months, which gave him plenty of time in-between to stick around Chicago and spend time with his children. As for Rebekah, she may not have been the love of his life, but she turned out to be an amazing woman and a great friend to Theo. She understood Theo’s crazy work schedule and his need and desire to travel and his inability to stay in one place for too long. The only thing that mattered to her was that he was always there whenever she or the kids needed him, and because of that, Theo made an effort to do just that. It wasn’t by any means easy for him. For most of his life, he had lived as a wanderer, and traveler who could go anywhere at any moment and he had never been stationary for more than a few weeks at a time. Adjusting to the responsibilities of parenthood was incredibly hard, and he had days where he questioned what the heck he’d gotten himself into. However, he truly did love his children and his desire to be a good and reliable father to them eventually overweighed any of his louder reservations and doubts.

[erinkeane]

{ERIN KEANE} looks a lot like {PEYTON LIST}! the {THIRTY YEAR OLD}, {FEMALE} is a {VETERINARIAN}. they can be {HONEST & DEDICATED} but also {SHORT TEMPERED & EASILY STARTLED}. for the past {EIGHT MONTHS}, chicago has been their home.

if you ignore the fact that this bio says rebekah and the criminology part, you’ll pretty much still have erin, and you can find that HERE.

instead of leaving derry (londonderry) for criminology she left after being accepted into a prestigious student veterinary programme, and she hasn’t really left america since, though she still misses her parents and her home country & city.

after the attack mentioned in the bio above, erin has found herself struggling to settle in the one place, though this is the longest she’s been able to stick around for - a part of her is hoping that it’ll last because she likes her job and she likes (kinda) the people she’s come into contact with.

even before that happened, erin hasn’t been the best when it comes to conversation. she tends to take things too literally and sarcasm often goes over her head, but the longer she stays in america the more she gets used to it - at least, it doesn’t confuse her as often as it used to.

she prefers nights in to nights out and prefers it when she’s in smaller crowds, bigger groups of people make her anxious and unsettled, and this is generally why she avoids clubs and parties - this isn’t for lack of trying, though. if she’s invited by someone she trusts she’ll at least attempt to show face, but after that it’s just usually pjs and a musical to wind down at night.

she hasn’t been in a relationship since it ended between her and girlfriend after the whole attack thing. she’s nervous to even try again and has no idea where to start - she generally tells people she has no interest in dating or meeting someone, but really... she just has no clue what to do since she and her ex just kind of happened and lasted several years, and now she’s just ????? all the time.

despite it being several years since it happened, erin struggles to last a full night without having some kind of nightmare about the ordeal. she’s highly dependent on caffeine and the strong will to avoid sleep as much as she can.

[caseydelgado]

{CASEY DELGADO} looks a lot like {ODETTE ANNABLE}! the {TWENTY-EIGHT YEAR OLD}, {FEMALE} is a {POLICE OFFICER}. they can be {COMPASSIONATE & HUMOROUS} but also {FORGETFUL & RECKLESS}. for the past {THREE YEARS}, chicago has been their home.

since she’s an old character, i still have a bio up of her and you can find that HERE - most of it is staying the same so i figured there’s no need to write it all out again, though a few details here and there are gonna be a bit different to fit the chicago aspect of it.

she’s still out to become a person in her own right rather than that which her parents are trying to make her.

she has a super dorky sense of humour and never really knows when to shut up? the only time that does seem to happen is when she’s sad or not feeling well... yup, she even talks in her sleep, it’s ridiculous tbh.

healthy eating? never heard of it. casey has a naturally high metabolism so she’s never really had to worry about that kind of thing, she much prefers to dine on pizza and kebabs than suffer through a salad. she’s literally the cops eat doughnuts stereotype, bonus points if it has sprinkles on them.

now that she’s living a life of her own, she tends to take every opportunity thrown her way... regardless of consequence. she didn’t get to experience much as a child so tends to just be a sponge and absorb as much as she can.

you’d think that someone would have their apartment in order after three years - nope, not this woman. she still has some stuff in boxes and she still lives with the vague belief that her now earned freedom might not last long so is ready to up and leave if needed.

still a very good cop, just... she’s a lot to handle, especially when on patrol and stuck in a car with her, but she means well. she’s just... she’s excited to finally be able to be free of her parents and she often forgets to chill around others.
