He was always a wild and carefree person, but being orphaned had only increased his wild and dark side. Having been rich, he was rather used to getting what he wanted, and he wasn't afraid of much at all. He loved to have fun and laugh, but also could get a bit moody at times.<br><br>Silver Bugatti EB110 Super Sport.<br>(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1A9-GWErSjc/UL9uegMGP6I/AAAAAAAAC6w/hobnD6ti7IE/s400/Bugatti-EB110-wallpapers+(2).jpg"])<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Adrian was a spoiled rich child who had gotten into racing. His parents had cheered him on as he rose to success as an F1 driver. He loved cars of all kinds, and he was good at racing them as well. His parents died a few years back, leaving him with their family's fortune, and changing his life. He kept racing, because that was the only thing that interested him. He could have taken over his family's company, but he didn't want to live such an ordinary life. He became rather thrill-seeking, sometimes dangerously so, since his parents had died. He began betting on his races, bored by the ordinary racing. Adrian wasn't a criminal though, and he was discovered rather quickly, and banned from driving in the F1 championships again.<br><br>Angry, he moved to California, where he had heard about street racers gathering to have huge races. It was a big state, so it had plenty of room to host these. He still loved driving and racing, and he was still good at it. He knew the insides of a car well, though he wasn't a real mechanic by any means. He knew enough to take care of his own car. He wandered California until he found a street racing crew, and quickly set himself to become that crew's lead driver.<br><br><br><hr><hr><br><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u">mj2002</span></div><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/vIJtN.jpg)</div><br><span class="bbc_u">Character Name</span>: Aurora Lee<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Age</span>: May 25th, 23 years old<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character build</span>: 165cm, 58kg, thin, female, Korean<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Affiliation</span>: Street level driver. Ms. Lee is a self-made driver that funds her own projects and cars. She focuses her attention on (illegal?) street racing and local events.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference (The car)</span>: Stock 2004 BMW M3 CSL (http://minus.com/mQozlTktFgCFN)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: Aurora grew up around cars as her father managed a garage himself. Initially, she got into modelling because the mechanics of cars couldn't interest her too much. She turned her attention to street racing when she was around 20 years of age, after she'd been given a ride by one of her befriended drivers. Aurora was sold from that moment on. She inherited her fathers garage after he passed away, closed it down and only uses it for herself and her friends. Aurora isn't particularly notorious in the local street racing scene and her success never went beyond the city and its local events. Most attention is directed at Aurora being a female in a male-dominant culture. It's not entirely certain how Aurora manages to fund her hobby. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: She likes to dress fashionably and sometimes sexy, unless she's racing. Aurora walks with confidence and knows her appearance attracts quite some attention. Her appearance and attire will be elaborated on whenever it changes. She has no (visible) tattoos or markings.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Aurora can be manipulative if needed, using others for her own benefit and covering up with her alluring appearance. Towards women, she <em>may</em> come across as bitchy at times, even hostile, with exception to her close friends. She has made it somewhat of a personal hobby to seduce and discard men, giving her a rather bad reputation.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>:&nbsp; Ms. Lee is heterosexual, but could possibly be talked or forced into experimenting with women. On/Offs can be found here (http://rh.greydawn.net/browse.php?c=mj2002). Aurora could use a friend (or two?) that either helps her in her garage as a mechanic or shares the garage as a driver, but they won't be in a (permanent) relationship. This could be an NPC if there's no takers.<br><br><hr><hr><br><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u">HarleyQuinn</span></div><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i49.tinypic.com/vmtbmb.jpg)</div><br><span class="bbc_u">Character Name</span>: Natalia Verone.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Age</span>: July&nbsp; 17. 26 years.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character build</span>: 5'5, 125lbs, athletic/toned build from years of hard work and dancing before dropping that career for her current one. Italian female.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Affiliation</span>: Loan shark and part time racing promoter. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference (The car)</span>: &nbsp;Mistubishi Lancer Evo MR. (http://cimbeon.com/photos/mitsubishi-lancer-evo-mr/03/)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: Natalia is the daughter of racing legend back in Italy who she never knew till her mother died. Her father took her in under his wing and tried to keep his racing life separate from his personal life. She grew up in Rome and was a great dancer there, performing locally which soon grew to nationwide. However, she fell in love with on Daddy Dearest's racers and her life was never the same. Now, the life that her father had tried shielding her from was open to her and she took full advantage of it. No longer was she the timid little dancer that captivated audiences. She easily understood the ins and outs of racing and soon became the President of her father's racing company. Her father's company has always been rumored to be dealing in illegal business but nothing has been proven. <br><br>Later, her boyfriend was murdered by one of the many loan sharks in the business and in a rage, Natalia had sought out the murderer and shot him herself. She isn't just a pretty face and is deadly with guns and knives. Something her boyfriend and father often taught her. Now, she's one of the notorious loan sharks and is very picky about when she gets her money. To keep things somewhat legal, she does racing promotion for her father's company.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: She can be a fashionista but prefers to dress comfortable in case she ever has to get her hands dirty. However, she always wears heels. She is a major shoe lover and most of her closet is filled with nothing but heels. She doesn't care for trends and will always dress the way she wants. She doesn't pay attention to if she's on the best dressed list or the worst dressed list.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: She's more than just a beautiful face. Though, she has no qualms about using her sexuality to get what she wants and when she wants. She can be quite demanding and a bit rude, but most of the time she means well. She's not shy and if she doesn't like someone, they'll know it. Over all, she's easy to get along with. But if anyone crosses her, that's it. The phrase, "Works Hard, Plays Hard," is what she believes she falls under.<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Straight but does admire the female form. Even though she's fairly dominant outside of bed, she doesn't like to be in bed but she won't give in quickly either. She's single.<br><br><hr><hr><br><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u">Photo</span></div><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i50.tinypic.com/1t6jhd.jpg)(http://i47.tinypic.com/28uu25f.gif)<div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">MORE</div><div class="spoiler_body">Click pictures to blow them up<br>(http://i46.tinypic.com/zjaq91.jpg)(http://i46.tinypic.com/2u7snz6.jpg)(http://i49.tinypic.com/54yr7s.jpg)(http://i45.tinypic.com/34fdzc9.jpg)<br><br></div></div></div><br><div align="center"><strong>WORKING ON NEW SECTION WITH OTHER PLAYERS</strong></div><br><span class="bbc_u">Character Name</span>: Jennifer Miyo Kobayashi<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Age</span>: 24 Years Old (10-05-1982)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character build</span>: 5'5 , 115lbs, thin/athletic, female, Japanese\American<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Affiliation</span>: Race organizer<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character relations</span>: Kobayashi Miyo had formed business relationships with Adrian and Aurora, helping them find their way to SF, helping them get their cars ready, and helping them meet Pietro Uno. Working with Natalia is strictly chance, and beneficial that the two of them can work toegether to help the Crew get stronger and stronger in the scene.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference (The car)</span>: Jenna didn't come from cars. She was raised in a particularly interesting place though, Yashio, of the Saitama prefecture in Japan. Her mother was an American business woman, she had moved to Japan for financial reasons, and she worked in Tokyo while she had lived in Yashio. Jenna grew up around cars. She knows what's fast, and she knows why its fast.<br><br>With that being said. She has two cars. a 1984 Toyata Celica as a road car, and a car that she takes to races for appearance, a Honda S2000 from the turn of the century.<br><br>&nbsp;Toyota Celica (http://i48.tinypic.com/b68zfr.jpg)<br>&nbsp;Honda S2000 (http://i46.tinypic.com/34865bc.jpg)<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: Jenna is not a wealthy girl. Her family is good with money. She's worked hard to get where she is today. As stated, she grew up in Saitama, but her father wanted her to get to know her American family. She was an only child, and it seemed important. Her mother was skeptical, it had been a long time without any contact. America was massively different than Saitama, and she grew to enjoy the new parts of life that California had to offer. Both in Japan, and the States, Jenna's parents were incredibly strict. In college, she rebelled, and started hanging around with rude American boys who only wanted their itches scratched. <br><br>She fell into a group that were excited about getting into street racing. They were rich college boys who had been given money, something she was never lucky enough to have. Two of the boys were sharing Jenna, and she was enjoying it. (more to come about this group of boys that she was running with), long story short, the boys knew nothing of strategy, cars, or real speed. She was just as embarassed as they were. Jenna loved the cars and the people, and a lot of her childhood memories from Saitama were coming back to her. The boys quit, and she purchased the Toyota from them in order to keep going and learning about this world. Jenna didn't want to race. She wanted to organize them. She wanted to make everything work right, she wanted a story she could tell for years. So, a 20 year old Kobayashi Miyo wandered to street races alone. There was always someone going on about how they desperately needed an impossible to get part for their car, at first it helped her learn. Then she started to use her business skills to acquire these parts. Jenna has made a bit of a reputation for herself becoming something of a 'go to gal' for just about anything a racer could need, that includes parts, locations for races, hired stopwatch-men at corners for time trials, and security, using local gangs to distract the police, and block roads.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>:<br><br>At the races Jenna dresses as a "stereotypical" Gearhead girl, she always has and it makes things easier. Everything is short and tight so that she blends in to the crowd. If the police turn up looking for the organizers of the race, they always go for the white guys in suits not the asian chick in the pink hot-pants. Away from the street races Jenna usually dresses more conservatively, typically in some kind of business-casual combination.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>:Kobayashi Miyo has a few different extremes to her personality. And she can usually be in two or three different roles at a time. In Manager mode she appears very controlled, never looses her cool and is all business. In Gearhead girl mode Jenna is almost the polar opposite a party girl who always seems to have a man on her arm. But away from crowds, with just people she knows Jenna is somewhere in between the two extremes<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Jenna is bisexual. The races give her the excuse to be incredibly flirty.<br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 24pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>GROUP 2</strong></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u">Lithium</span></div><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb266/Mel_Reyna/20688479509473182_TGwDJb04_c_zpsa626ba9f.jpg)</div><br><span class="bbc_u">Character Name</span>: Blaire Simmons<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Age</span>: 26 years old, born February 1st<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character build</span>: 5'6", 110 lbs, thin, female, Caucasian <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Affiliation</span>: Street Racer<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference (The car)</span>: Toyota Supra 98' RHD (http://i.imgur.com/qaptM.jpg)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: Growing up with three older brothers for siblings, Blaire often ended up tagging along with them and getting involved into their hobbies. When she was in her mid-teens and they were all in their late teens or early twenties, they started getting into modified cars and street racing but eventually drifted away from the scene after a while. For the next few years, Blaire went through with the regular day to day grind, going to school to study biology and working part-time as an assistant at a morgue. <br><br>She ended up going on a slow but constant downward spiral, her grades and attendance deteriorating more and more with each passing semester until finally she just gave up and dropped out. Feeling unsatisfied and even depressed about the way that her life was going, Blaire suddenly decided to just say 'fuck it' and try to do all of the things that she'd always wanted to do instead of what was expected of her by her parents or by society. <br><br>It started off innocently enough, just a small tattoo, but it snowballed pretty quickly from there. More tattoos, piercings, cars, racing, sex, alcohol and even drugs...there was a period of time during which Blaire was a complete mess, but luckily she managed to pull herself out of it before anything tragic happened. Since then, she's been trying to satiate her cravings for thrills and excitement through means other than drugs, so she started taking the whole racing thing a lot more seriously.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: Blaire has several tattoos on her arms, legs stomach and back as well as nipple and clit piercings. She's somewhat eclectic when it comes to her style, but it's not uncommon to see her wearing something pretty provocative and edgy. Her eyes are green and her hair is naturally a light blonde, but she's not afraid to dye it whatever other color on a whim.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: She's a very obsessive person, it doesn't take much for her to really get hooked onto someone or something. As an extension of that, she's also very competitive about the things that she takes an interest in. Blaire's pretty chill with most people as long as she feels like they're genuine and that they're not trying to control or pressure her.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Blaire's totally bisexual with rather broad tastes, a high sex drive and a tendency to be a little promiscuous. She shares Aurora's garage and helps out where she can, but she's only an average mechanic without too much experience so she's still got plenty to learn.<br><br><hr><hr><br><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u">ebpohmr</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="floatleft">(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101211190612/powerrangers/images/8/84/Kevin_Sorbo.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_u">Character name</span>: Jason Hunt<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character age</span>: 37<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character build</span>: Caucasian male, standing at 1.91 metres tall and weighing in at 102kg with an athletic build.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Affiliation</span>: Retired racer and stunt driver, owns a vehicle restoration and customisation shop.&nbsp; <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference</span>: 70's &amp; 80's American Muscle Cars - drives a 1978 Pontiac Trans-Am Firebird that he has restored and customised over the past five years.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: As his dad was an automobile mechanic and his mother died when he was a young, Jason grew up around cars. He had no particular love for them though until he sat watching a rerun of the 1977 movie Smokey and the Bandit. Something about the Bandit's car just caught the young boy's imagination and he fell in love with the sleek muscle car and that widened into a great appreciation for American Muscle cars in general. Although he was trained as a mechanic by virtue of years spent helping his Dad, Jason was more interested in the driving than the fixing. He liked to go fast and had a feel for how far he could push the car he was driving. <br><br>After winning a few local track races, Jason was offered sponsorship and he leapt at the chance to become a professional racer. For seven years he raced production cars on the oval circuit series, but after the initial excitement wore off, he discovered that it wasn't for him. After retiring from racing, Jason got into stunt driving and while he enjoyed the challenge of pulling off some tough stunts, again he found that the joy just wasn't there. At the age of thirty-two, Jason had a pile of cash saved up but no real ambition in life except to keep driving.<br><br>During a visit back home, he was helping his dad in the family garage when it suddenly hit him just how much he had missed working on the cars. On returning to the city, Jason sunk most of his money into a large garage. Using his fame as a circuit and stunt driver, he brought in some business - more so when he managed to hook up with the local street racing scene. Finding a beat-up 1978 trans-am, he began restoring and customising the car that had always been in his heart. Finding that he got real satisfaction from the process, he began acquiring other write-off's and started to focus his garage's work on restoration and customisation. As he often has space to spare in the garage, he has invited racer's to come in and use his facilities, mostly gratis. Jason rarely races any more and when he does, it is purely for the joy of the ride. <br><div class="floatright">(http://www.joeyverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/1978_pontiac_trans_am-pic-41324.jpeg)</div><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: At 6 foot 3 inches and being naturally built like a linebacker, Jason can at first seem intimidating although this is usually offset by his friendly demeanour and smile. He moves with a relaxed confidence, as if he is a man in control of a life he is enjoying. While he will occasionally grow out a beard, Jason prefers to shave every other day. Although some people call him a hippy for it, Jason keeps his hair a few inches past his shoulders in length - the hassle is worth it considering that his lovers always seem to enjoy running their hands through it. His usual attire is a leather jacket worn over polo-shirt with jeans, although he can wear a suit well when he needs to and will often wear blue coveralls when working in the garage.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Time has soothed the adrenaline junkie in him enough that, while Jason enjoys going fast and living the high life, it isn't enough for all the time. As such, he also has a solid, dependable side and an eye to the future. He has lived enough to know that there will always be someone better at anything he does and having accepted this, Jason tends to be fairly laid back and friendly. He can often be found at meets or parties at the centre of a group, sat with a bottle of beer as he recalls stories from his life or gives advice to those that ask for it. Jason still remembers what it was like to break into the racing culture and as a result, he has a soft spot for new arrivals and will often go to their aid, sometimes even sponsoring them or allowing them free use of his facilities and time. He does have a darker side, and those that betray his trust or take a grievance against his friends too far will often find this out to their detriment. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Jason is heterosexual, but he doesn't mind having an audience or extra participants involved. He tends to take control and show that the shifter isn't the only stick he has a gift with. </div><br><hr><hr><br><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u">tehcraz</span></div><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/wKftV.jpg)</div><br><span class="bbc_u">Character Name</span>: Lisa Yamata<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Age</span>: 6/18. 26 years old.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character build</span>: 5'6", 146 pounds Athletic build, Female, Asian-American (Half Japanese)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Affiliation</span>: Driver/Mechanic. Worked in her fathers dealership ever since she was a child and learned through an apprenticeship. As a driver, Lisa normally races quarter mile drag strips but she has began to take an interest in drift racing. She doesn't have much in the way of funds, should her car become totaled, so she tends to drive a bit on the conservative side.&nbsp; <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference (The car)</span>: Asian import cars. Easy to fix, lots of aftermarket parts, looks nice when fully kitted out. She has nothing against American cars, but seems to not like most European cars.<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/NDiQJ.jpg)</div><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>:&nbsp; Lisa's father has owned a, decently successful, multi-brand dealership ever since she can remember. As both parents worked, Lisa would leave school and go to her fathers dealership to do her homework. Of course, being a kid, she found homework boring and the sound of engines and tools to be more exciting. She spent more and more time in the mechanic pit, watching cars. She built an impromptu apprenticeship with the other mechanics, and was doing simple repairs for the shop by the age of fourteen. By the time she could drive, she was able to pull apart an engine block and put it back together, mostly. By the time she graduated high school, all she ever wanted to do was work on cars. She ended up with a job working for her father, selling him on the fact that she would learn the business from the inside and out and, one day, would take over the dealership. With the money she saved, she made her first purchase, a black Acura Integra. One of the mechanics from the shop introduced her to a quarter mile strip of road and&nbsp; a local crew of racers. From then on, it was an addiction. After years and thousands of dollars into her car, she ended up trading up to a Mazda RX-7 FD. The rest is history.<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: She dresses conservative for the most part, clothes she is not afraid to get dirty in. It is not uncommon for her to have grime or grease stains on her skin. Her left arm has a sprawling tattoo from her left arm, spiraling around and up&nbsp; along her back, a giant dragon who's head finishes upon her back, flames flaring off of the dragon's body. The tattoo is elaborately shaded, looking like it took some time and was expensive. The outline for a second dragon, on her right arm, is set, but no where near finished. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Lisa is a hard worker. The kind who does her research and does not finish until the job is done. Because of this, she can be very intense and is prone to outbursts over long periods of failures or frustrations. While she does race, winning is not that important to her. It's the community and the ride that she enjoys, though the money is nice. She is fiercely loyal to friends and is more than willing to sit in a cell than to snitch her friends out to the police. This also means that, should someone threaten someone close to her, she will grab a socket wrench and remind them why it's a bad idea to shoot their mouth off. By and large, she is nice to be around, if not a bit boring at times.<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Sexually, she is bisexual with a bit of a male preference. She does not seek out sexual encounters, but does not mind if a few end up coming her way.<br><br><hr><hr><br><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u">Red Lobster</span></div><br><div class="floatleft">(http://favim.com/orig/201107/31/boy-car-fashion-hot-guy-jon-Favim.com-117571.jpg)</div><br><span class="bbc_u">Character Name</span>: John Hellyer<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Age</span>: 26<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character build</span>: John is 6'3, 195 pounds and somewhere between athletic and thin.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Affiliation</span>: Med-school student, already starting his residency for the past year or so. John is shaping up to be a pretty amazing doctor, as his family always wanted, however recently he's finally saved up enough cash to hopefully get himself involved in the local street racing scene! Though, he's never before been a part of anything like that, and only remembers street racing from what he fucked around with as a teenager. He love's it though.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference (The bike)</span>: John has saved up a fair deal of money, but needs a lot more fast if he is going to be able to actually buy something top of the line to break into the scene and become an actual driver. He's planning to try and bet what he has at the next race to double up and get a car. Currently though, he drives a bike. http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2006models/2006-Victory-VegasJackpotb.jpg (http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2006models/2006-Victory-VegasJackpotb.jpg) <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: Truth be told John's life has not really been that difficult so far. The worst he could probably say about his upbringing is that his parents were extremely strict, and (in his opinion) expected far too much out of him. Most of that had to do with the fact that his parents are multi-millionaires, and the idea is that he is going to pick up the torch once his father finally passess away. John however never had an interest in business, and always found himself more interested in cars and bikes, living life by gauge of your fuel tank over some corporate office. Maybe because it was so different compared to what he was used too.<br><br>Regardless his father would have none of it, he was barely even allowed to participate in sports from his mother's fear that he might snap his neck! Well near the end of High School, which was of course spent at only the best male boarding school in the country, John realized that the only way he was going to get out of taking over and joining in on the family business to even have some kind of a chance of getting away was if he did something that was still seen as respectable. Well, he had always thought medicine was sort of interesting. I mean, he loved ER and watched Scrubs constantly in college. So, he went into Med-School once his father consented, and has actually developed quite an aptitude for medical science. Spurred on all the more by the fact that his father seems to have left him alone in California while knowing that he is doing well in his practice.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: He doesn't hold to any particular style, and more often then not is probably in his hospital scrubs having just come or about to head off to work. Otherwise he wears whatever is the latest thing from Walmart or Target.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: John is a kind, smiling sort of man who loves to joke around and meet new people. He typically remains pretty reserved about his past however, not because of any dark secrets, but just does not like to admit that he actually is an extremely wealthy person because of who his parents are. In fact, John goes out of his way to buy cheap clothes to further assist the illusion. In his experience, people treat the 'rich kid' a lot differently.<br><br>He has been called ambitious when he finds something that he loves. Trouble is he's only found two things he loves, racing/cars and medicine.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Straight, with a certain attraction to the more devious and daring sort of women.

(http://i46.tinypic.com/2ceqnma.jpg)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: Jamie grew up in a loving household that included her mother and father and their 4 dogs; Benny, Patch, Razzle and Jude. The area they resided in wasn't exactly Boulevard Avenue, but it was better to have a house in a shitty neighborhood than not have a house at all. As far back as she can remember, Jamie had always been roped in with helping her father work on his and his friends cars; it was his only other passion other than her mother. She did enjoy the work, but more than the labor, she enjoyed her dads company. Of course, she loved her mum too, but they didn't spend half as much time together as her and her father. Her dad promised her when he'd finished fixing up his beautiful Ford Mustang that he would take her for a spin in it and when he left her, he would leave it to her. Of course, she was extremely excited though she wasn't pleased at the idea of her father leaving her. When she was 16, her father was murdered in a drive by right out the front of their family home. It tore their world apart. Rather than sticking closer as a family, her mother distanced herself and Jamie had to admit, it was hard to live with her. Her mother even tried selling the car her father had left for her, but Jamie protected it and promised she'd get it up and running so that she could move it to another location. Not only did she feel she wanted to fix it up for herself, she wanted to get it running for her fathers sake as well. Upon her 18th birthday, Jamie moved out of the house to live with a friend in her apartment in the city, taking her fathers car along with her.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: Jamie has long, dirty blond/caramel brown hair that just about reaches the small of her back. Her eyes are a dark brown, almost a chocolate colour. Her skin is tanned; a nice natural shade of bronze. She has a couple of piercings; her bellybutton and her ears. Jamie has one tattoo; a feminine rose and vine pattern along the spine of her back, reaching between her shoulder blades to beginning of her buttocks. She very much enjoys keeping fit and working out, so she a bit more toned than someone else of her stature may be; she does a work-out every night and enjoys going to the Gym when she can. (She also enjoys taking part in things like dance, yoga, kick boxing and gymnastics.)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Jamie is an adrenaline junkie at heart. She's daring and isn't afraid to try new things. On one hand, Jamie can be a really friendly, helpful person to pretty much everyone. On the other hand however, she can be a bit grumpy at times and refuse to take instruction; she's a very proud girl. She's extremely bubbly and has been told she's quite a likable person; however, that doesn't always mean she wants to make friends. Jamie is also a very touchy-feely person and likes to be intimate with everyone if possible. As a mechanic, Jamie is very good at her job and enjoys driving/being driven very much but can sometimes get distracted easily and veer off topic on occasion. She likes to think she's one of the best at her job, but at the same time Jamie really loves to learn new things; not only about cars. All in all, Jamie is a very trusting character, though she gullible enough to believe everything that's told to her. She's a very honest, down-to-earth girl and at the end of the day, she'll tell it like it is; no mollycoddling.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Jamie is bisexual, though she has more of a taste for men. She very much enjoys when people take control and know what they want; it's very endearing to her. One of her favorite turn on's would be a sexy car and a confident personality to match; another reason she kept up her work as a mechanic. (O/O's Thread.

It was enough for an offer to turn professional with a new team based in America to be made. He took it. Arrived in Miami with just his bags and 200 dollars, a day later the company behind the team went bust, with no way home Chris was stranded, what made things worst the company owner had a history of ripping his own companies off until they collapsed.

Of course, when he means it, it becomes even worse.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Affiliation</span>: Street racer, occasional smuggler, parts-shop stocker. Rex works by day in an auto-parts shop, doing stock-work and making deliveries to dealerships and local mechanics. Undoubtedly while some small part of his financial success has to do with the occasional shipment gone missing, significantly more of it has to do with the occasional shipment that contains things it shouldn't...and his willingness to make deliveries on those things without asking questions. As a parts-counter guy, he's only a barely adequate mechanic - but he's willing to trade parts or cash to see a job done right on his car. When Friday night rolls around, he's a bat out of Hell any place he can find someone worth challenging, putting his legal and illegal earnings on the line in the best tuned vehicle he's been able to have cobbled together. <br><br><hr><div class="floatleft">(http://jaydeemmm.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/240f3-4b-n2.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference (The car)</span>:Grey market import 2002 Autech Silvia S15 Spec-R Varietta (What's a Varietta?!

He isn't malicious or deliberately cruel, he's just got a somewhat broken moral compass and very low tolerance for rules or laws that get in his way. <br><br>Rex's divorced mother took him with her to California when he was ten, and with her constant bitching about alimony payments instilled in him a sense of the unfairness of the world and its lack of respect for an individual's entitlement. As time went on, he saw less and less of his father, a low-end stock-car driver who made ends meet by working as a club magician (when he could find such employment) and doing children's parties (when he couldn't). These two miserable people were the exemplars from which Rex derived the Way the World Works: <br><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>The hand is quicker than the eye.</li><li>Everything's got to come from somewhere. You gain, somebody else loses. That's the breaks.</li><li>Sometimes you've got to take what you're entitled to.</li><li>The best way to control an audience is to focus their attention.</li></ul><br>Growing into his teenage years in California, Rex never stopped craving the spotlight. He was the second-best quarterback on the school team, until he got caught with steroids because he was tired of being second best. <br><br>At 17, he ended up pleading to a misdemeanor reckless driving charge that was part of a joyriding case against two of his friends. Because one of the accused thieves was eighteen, the case was uneasily divided between the juvenile and criminal courts. As his friends frequently worked on, bought, and sold automobiles, and were witnessed picking him up in the stolen car, he argued that he hadn't been told the car was stolen, and still wasn't aware when they were finally pulled over. He was fined, his license was suspended briefly, but because he was tried as a juvenile this is a 'sealed record.'<br><br>It is only because of this sealed record that he was able to get a driving job at eighteen while he was going to tech school. After his first year, he rapidly became one of the highest-paid young cabbies in the San Francisco Checkered cab fleet - until they figured out he was using every trick in the book to jump fares and run up the meter while using speed to convince passengers that they were getting somewhere fast, even though the 'short cut' was the long way around. It was around this time that he first started racing in SCCA Autocross events - solo slalom-course races that rewarded pushing the limits of control to make the best time through a difficult course. The skills he picked up would serve him well later.<br><br>At twenty-one, he was involved in a three-car pileup that was ostensibly the result of street racing. Rex insisted blithely that he was a non-participant, casting the blame on the other two, both of whom were also being charged with DUI (Rex was, perhaps surprisingly, clean). He got out of it with what amounted to a minor hand-slap, but his insurance agency then tried to charge him as well, and by the time it was done he had no car and a rather large legal debt. He couldn't keep doing his work without a car, and he couldn't pay off the debt without a job - hell, even with the job, he couldn't easily pay off his debt. Enter his old acquaintance Fernando, who knew some people who knew some people who could get him some money, quick, but he would have to repay it.<br><br>Rex understood from the beginning that he needed to pay the debt off in full and on-time, if not sooner. He made a pretty good impression for the first half year. Never missed a payment, always handed over a little extra, never made it necessary for anybody to ask where he was, much less where his money was. Better still, Fernando eased him into an evenings and weekends job that was significantly more lucrative...He just had to do some regular travelling to Mexico, behave himself at the border, and not ask too many questions. In time, his debtors merged with his employers, and when he finally paid off what he owed, he had a nice, regular source of side-income.<br><br>Two years later, after 9/11, the borders got a lot tougher. Rex had fewer appointments, and things seemed more and more dangerous. He'd gotten a decent job at an auto parts store, though, and in 2002, he got asked if he handled shipping and receiving. Why yes, yes he did. This was convenient, since a great many aftermarket and semi-OEM parts were produced in Mexico and shipped into the U.S. without much in the way of inspection. Rex simply had to make the right orders from the right companies at the right times and make sure the right customers picked them up. Or in some cases, he got to do some more driving, delivering 'parts' to particular customers who didn't have the time to come into the shop. <br><br>For Rex, things have been going pretty well ever since.<br><br>Rex has picked up more than a few simple sleight-of-hand tricks from his father - nobody who knows him can ever remember seeing him use an actual lighter to ignite a cigarette, and when he's bored he has a tendency to roll quarters along the backs of his fingers. No-one has ever proven any direct connection, but a few serious competitors have had to drop out of races in his vicinity because they couldn't find their keys. He's known to occasionally deal drugs...deal, not push...generally weed, never anything really hard, and he has strict rules about not selling to racers a day or two before they'll be racing. He'll happily sell to them afterward, but in at least this sense he sees himself as responsible, or at least not wanting any share of the responsibility if other drivers end the race in a hospital or a morgue.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>:&nbsp; Rex is a swaggering cock. He dresses like a polished version of something out of a fifties biker movie, right down to the black leather bomber jacket and the slicked and styled hair. But between the curt remnants of his Brooklyn accent and the way the leather fits him, he somehow manages to make it work. As annoyingly stereotypical as it is, in a peculiar way the greatest annoyance is that he doesn't seem to be acting, or even aware of the stereotype. The man pulls it off, and somehow pulls it together with a casually maniacal flair that makes the hooligan effect seem only natural.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Rex is slightly aggressive at the best of times. He likes to be the center of attention. He likes to win.&nbsp; He's willing to support someone else's win, so long as it's obvious that he's the one who made it possible. He likes helping his friends, so long as they're appreciative and remember who helped them. Actually, he'll help just about anyone, so long as it'll feed his ego to do it - not that he thinks about it that way, he's just propelled by a more selfish drive-train than an altruistic one, but once it's put in gear, it's still delivering the same results so far as everyone else is concerned. When racing, Rex is extremely aggressive. He makes a good lieutenant or 'blocker' in this sense, and he's not averse to a bit of cooking the books, fixing the odds, minor theft, sabotage or other forms of cheating and unpleasantness, so long as nobody gets seriously hurt...And as far as he's concerned, emotional wounds can heal, and if it's a little risky, well...most modern cars are made to keep their drivers alive through most crashes...Not that anyone's certain Rex ever deliberately caused a crash, but he certainly seems willing to play chicken. This and the somewhat maniacal attitude he cultivates go a long way to suggest that he doesn't go out of his way to <em>avoid</em> causing crashes. Off the track, he has a tendency to see himself as the man others come to for solutions...Whether it's parts, drug connections, or solving problems that consist of other people. He's pretty easy to get help from for people who know him...So long as he's believes he's being treated with respect and people are willing to acknowledge that they need him and what he can do. Stroke him the right way and it's easy to get what one wants. Irritate him and...Things are liable to get harder. At the worst of times, Rex will be an arrogant and pushy bastard. If he is someone's lieutenant, they'd best keep him on a short leash. If he isn't the lieutenant, then whoever <em>is</em> had better watch their back. (With his limited scruples he probably shouldn't be a group leader.)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Crooked. Which is to say, not straight...Not that it is likely to come up much, since every other male here seems to be! Rex certainly seems to prefer females, but then, more than <em>any</em> matters of gender, Rex pays attention to having his ego stroked. He's definitely a self-obsessed bastard, and the odds are good he'll either take the lead in bed, or expect to be treated well for the favor he's doing you. What do you mean he isn't doing you a favor? You're in his bed, right? ;)<br><br><hr><hr><br><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u">Aiden</span></div><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg157/onilobo/Clint-4_zps9c4ac7e7.jpg)</div><br><span class="bbc_u">Character Name</span>: Clint R.

His father ran the local car shop/gas station, his mother taught at the local elementary school and he was the town football hero. It was the type of town where everyone knew everyone else's business and the only child could not wait to get away. Clint was born carrying a football (or so his father claimed) and played most his life. His teenage life consisted of girls, football and working under his father at their shop. Unfortunately Clint was never much for mechanic work, like math (another failed subject) he understood the basics but excelled in another aspect of car work, body repair and paint. His family encouraged him to pursue both football and auto body repair, unfortunately after an injury in his senior year his hopes of a life in the NFL came to an end. <br><br>With his one escape out of Bonney cut short he turned to collusion repair and packed up his truck and left to make his own way after Highschool. Clint ended up in the west coast working at a small repair shop as the collusion repair and painter. His work was quickly noticed and he accepted higher paying offers from bigger shops and even took jobs on the side. A few years of living on the west introduced him to many things the small town "cowboy" knew little about, the most influential being street racing. Many people gave him shit about driving his truck to late night car shows and races but those who hired him to paint and install their (body) kits always spread the word on his expertise.<br><br>It took Clint a few years of scrimping, saving (and a few good nights at the local poker room),&nbsp; he finally managed to get a car to take on as a project and even went in person to pick up and tow from the Los Angeles docks. The car is mostly stock but he had a few friends he can call up on since who doesn't like a good paint job on their ride? <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: Clint is not the "trendiest" of dressers and is rather "simple" in his taste. Jeans, boots (cowboy) and cowboy shirts or a T-shirt. He has not worn a suit since his parents forced him to go to church when he was a teenager. People have poked fun at his over sized belt buckle but he takes it in stride, more so when he reveals the back has a bottle opener which makes it easier to pop open some beers and start the good times. He talks with a Texan draw and shows proper manners (attributed to his mother). It rare to see him without a cowboy hat, some traditions don't die. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Clint works hard and likes to relax hard. When it is time to work he is an efficient machine with a work ethic and discipline not seen in men his age. When work is over he loves a good beer, meal and a football game. He does not like the club scene but does enjoy hitting up a local dive bar for a round of pool (Where he can hustle his fair share of good players) or a local gambling hall or casino. Clint is a "goes with the flow" type guy and is not quick to anger and get crazy but can deliver a mean punch if pushed to far. If there is a rodeo in town you better believe you will find Clint there. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Straight and enjoying the hell out of life.<br><br></div></div><br>

He's incredibly cerebral, and knows almost everything about automobiles and racing.<br><br><br><br><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Third Party Additions</strong></span><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i48.tinypic.com/1ikft5.jpg)</div><div class="floatright">(http://i49.tinypic.com/2ild0es.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_u">Terry Desmares</span> <br>Age - 28 year old male. <br>Build - 6'3, tall muscular and wide. He could gain weight easily, and he looks horrible when he's strung out. <br><br>Last name is french, pronounced "Demo-Ray". He's a strong driver, and he leads a local team in Mendocino County called the North Stars. Driving a VW Golf from the late 90's, he's no fancy driver, but his speed is strong and he's smart, focused, definitely the strongest wildcard besides the three PC rebels in the RP. Growing up on the filthy side of the streets in Northern California, Terry learned to fend for himself, and he was a real piece of shit before he started racing. He's been in jail three times, once for public drunkenness, once for attempted robbery, and again for evading arrest. All of this happened before he was twenty. He's a recovered drug addict, and it was by pure chance that he acquired the VW in the first place. The car had broken down, and he knew the guy that knew the guy that didn't want it anymore. Terry had always been good with machines. He offered to fix the car, and give it back for money, but the owner was only interested in seelling it. Terry bought the car for Three-hundred dollars. He's since poured over seven grand for it, but it's paid for itself, as he boasts a strong record on mountain pass roads. His little care does have trouble with the quarter mile though.<br><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i48.tinypic.com/1t7hw6.jpg)</div><div class="floatright">(http://i47.tinypic.com/5jxog4.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_u">Michael Parker</span><br>Age - 29<br>Build - 6'3. Michael is not a muscular man, and he loves good ol' American food, so he's not perfect by any means, but he's tall and strong. <br><br>Michael was raised on hunting, sports, and Nascar races. His father was a pureblood American, so the Japanese obsession came as a shock to him. He thought he had raised his son to build Camaro's and Mustangs, not Honda's and Nissans become obsessed with Japanese tuning cars in his teenage years, and owner a car two years before he could drive one. He prefers to stay off of the road, Specializing in mechanics. He's had two Nissan Datsuns, two CR-x's, a handful of Nissan Silvia's. None of them compared to his spectacular orange civic (picture). He's owned that for almost seven years. It's the only car he has left, selling everything else to tune it properly. Michael did build his car, but he has no sense of limits like most mechanics do. Where most know that an engine should be maintained constantly, Michael only knows how to fix his car so that he can break it without worrying about it. <br><br>He drives a large Honda Civic Sedan. 'says he likes how heavy and blocky it is'. His cars have always been more powerful than he could ever handle, but with twin turbos in his heavy Civic, he's setting himself up for trouble. At his core, he's not that deep, and recent competition has turned him into a fool. He's overlooked the importance of technique for too long, and he is destined to crash any time, especially with the incoming race day. His team mates are worried about him. He's in the North Stars with Desmares.<br><br><hr><hr><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i48.tinypic.com/2hpi1i1.jpg)</div><div class="floatright">(http://i49.tinypic.com/t98k6p.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_u">Joseph Coder </span><br>Age- 24 <br>Build- naturally large shoulders and arms with a thin abdomen and athletic legs.

Joey was more likely to be missing in the middle of the night than sleeping in his bed, and if he was home, there was a girl naked in his bed with him.

His father ran the local car shop/gas station, his mother taught at the local elementary school and he was the town football hero. It was the type of town where everyone knew everyone else's business and the only child could not wait to get away. Clint was born carrying a football (or so his father claimed) and played most his life. His teenage life consisted of girls, football and working under his father at their shop. Unfortunately Clint was never much for mechanic work, like math (another failed subject) he understood the basics but excelled in another aspect of car work, body repair and paint. His family encouraged him to pursue both football and auto body repair, unfortunately after an injury in his senior year his hopes of a life in the NFL came to an end. <br><br>With his one escape out of Bonney cut short he turned to collusion repair and packed up his truck and left to make his own way after Highschool. Clint ended up in the west coast working at a small repair shop as the collusion repair and painter. His work was quickly noticed and he accepted higher paying offers from bigger shops and even took jobs on the side. A few years of living on the west introduced him to many things the small town "cowboy" knew little about, the most influential being street racing. Many people gave him shit about driving his truck to late night car shows and races but those who hired him to paint and install their (body) kits always spread the word on his expertise.<br><br>It took Clint a few years of scrimping, saving (and a few good nights at the local poker room),&nbsp; he finally managed to get a car to take on as a project and even went in person to pick up and tow from the Los Angeles docks. The car is mostly stock but he had a few friends he can call up on since who doesn't like a good paint job on their ride? <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: Clint is not the "trendiest" of dressers and is rather "simple" in his taste. Jeans, boots (cowboy) and cowboy shirts or a T-shirt. He has not worn a suit since his parents forced him to go to church when he was a teenager. People have poked fun at his over sized belt buckle but he takes it in stride, more so when he reveals the back has a bottle opener which makes it easier to pop open some beers and start the good times. He talks with a Texan draw and shows proper manners (attributed to his mother). It rare to see him without a cowboy hat, some traditions don't die. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Clint works hard and likes to relax hard. When it is time to work he is an efficient machine with a work ethic and discipline not seen in men his age. When work is over he loves a good beer, meal and a football game. He does not like the club scene but does enjoy hitting up a local dive bar for a round of pool (Where he can hustle his fair share of good players) or a local gambling hall or casino. Clint is a "goes with the flow" type guy and is not quick to anger and get crazy but can deliver a mean punch if pushed to far. If there is a rodeo in town you better believe you will find Clint there. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Straight and enjoying the hell out of life. <br><br><hr><div class="floatleft">(http://)</div> <div align="center"><strong></strong></div><hr><br><span class="bbc_u">Character relations</span>:<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb266/Mel_Reyna/20688479509473182_TGwDJb04_c_zpsa626ba9f.jpg)</div> <div align="center"><strong>Blaire Simmons</strong></div><hr><br>Blaire was the type of girl that was hard to miss when she crossed your path, but Clint did not meet her at the race events. For the short time he raced, he never became popular enough in the scene to be noticed. Once his car was totaled, (about 2 years from start of game) he might as well been a ghost since driving his truck became a joke within the racers. The two met officially at a pool hall, one late weekend night after they attempted to hustle one another in a game of billiards. <em>"Well doll, you went and took all my drinking money so next round is on you." </em> He conned her out of a few drinks after he lost a couple hundred dollars to her. Unknown to Blaire, he had his true bank roll in his boot but she didn't complain when he bought her breakfast later that morning after the bar shut down. <br><br>Since then the two have been friends with the occasional late night hook up without any strings attached. Blaire introduced him to Jason, her boss and eventually earned the guy's respect and invitation to his weekly BBQ behind the ship. Clint and Blaire share a unique friendship, it is not uncommon for the two to be seen take shots at one another. The two are polar opposites but that has to be what makes their friendship so surprising. <br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx346/yankeesdaily/JessicaBurciaga12.jpg)</div> <div align="center"><strong>Jamie Mendez</strong></div><hr><br>Clint met Jamie through Blaire on one of his visits to the Garage. As he began to do more work for Jason the two got along almost like he did with Blaire. It seemed city girls aren't used to country boys but Clint takes it all in stride. She teases his boots and buckles, he teases her obscenely pink car. <br><br>The two became closer when Jamie showed interest in being his decoy at poker games. He taught Jamie how to play poker and she naturally learned how to distract guys (and some gals) into losing their money at the local poker room. The two split the earnings and Jamie seems to show interest in some of his "Ol West ways" like shooting at the range or hitting up the rodeo when it is in town. <br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101211190612/powerrangers/images/8/84/Kevin_Sorbo.jpg)</div> <div align="center"><strong>Jason Hunt</strong></div><hr><br>Clint and Jason met when he began hanging out with Blaire. Cowboy was not the type to loiter, but sometimes Blaire would be delayed at work and he would hang around the shop until she was ready to go. It was by complete coincidence that the two one day struck up a conversation and he revealed he was a painter by trade. A couple of months later he was trusted with Jason's Trans Am and afterwards he would subcontract paint jobs for the shop on occasion. <br><br>A mutual respect exist between the two men, Clint feels Jason gives off a "papa bear" feel when he an Blaire go out even if there is nothing official going on between them. Cowboy has a standing invite to Jason's BBQs every Sunday and he always makes sure to bring some beer and the occasional bottle of whiskey. <br><br><br><br><br>

John is shaping up to be a pretty amazing doctor, as his family always wanted, however recently he's finally saved up enough cash to hopefully get himself involved in the local street racing scene! Though, he's never before been a part of anything like that, and only remembers street racing from what he fucked around with as a teenager. He love's it though.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference (The car)</span>: John has saved up a fair deal of money, but needs a lot more fast if he is going to be able to actually buy something top of the line to break into the scene and become an actual driver. He's was planning to double up on a race bet and get enough to buy the car, but one day suddenly arrived at the shop with a brand new Mitsubishi Eclipse! http://cars-database.com/data_images/models/mitsubishi-eclipse/mitsubishi-eclipse-06.jpg (http://cars-database.com/data_images/models/mitsubishi-eclipse/mitsubishi-eclipse-06.jpg)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: Truth be told John's life has not really been that difficult so far. The worst he could probably say about his upbringing is that his parents were extremely strict, and (in his opinion) expected far too much out of him. Most of that had to do with the fact that his parents are multi-millionaires, and the idea is that he is going to pick up the torch once his father finally passess away. John however never had an interest in business, and always found himself more interested in cars and bikes, living life by gauge of your fuel tank over some corporate office. Maybe because it was so different compared to what he was used too.<br><br>Regardless his father would have none of it, he was barely even allowed to participate in sports from his mother's fear that he might snap his neck! Well near the end of High School, which was of course spent at only the best male boarding school in the country, John realized that the only way he was going to get out of taking over and joining in on the family business to even have some kind of a chance of getting away was if he did something that was still seen as respectable. Well, he had always thought medicine was sort of interesting. I mean, he loved ER and watched Scrubs constantly in college. So, he went into Med-School once his father consented, and has actually developed quite an aptitude for medical science. Spurred on all the more by the fact that his father seems to have left him alone in California while knowing that he is doing well in his practice.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: He doesn't hold to any particular style, and more often then not is probably in his hospital scrubs having just come or about to head off to work. Otherwise he wears whatever is the latest thing from Walmart or Target.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: John is a kind, smiling sort of man who loves to joke around and meet new people. He typically remains pretty reserved about his past however, not because of any dark secrets, but just does not like to admit that he actually is an extremely wealthy person because of who his parents are. In fact, John goes out of his way to buy cheap clothes to further assist the illusion. In his experience, people treat the 'rich kid' a lot differently.<br><br>He has been called ambitious when he finds something that he loves. Trouble is he's only found two things he loves, racing/cars and medicine.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Straight, with a certain attraction to the more devious and daring sort of women. As this embodies everything that he could not have while growing up in schools, surrounded by a bunch of stuck up bitches, or worse, just men.<br>

(http://i46.tinypic.com/2ceqnma.jpg)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: Jamie grew up in a loving household that included her mother and father and their 4 dogs; Benny, Patch, Razzle and Jude. The area they resided in wasn't exactly Boulevard Avenue, but it was better to have a house in a shitty neighborhood than not have a house at all. As far back as she can remember, Jamie had always been roped in with helping her father work on his and his friends cars; it was his only other passion other than her mother. She did enjoy the work, but more than the labor, she enjoyed her dads company. Of course, she loved her mum too, but they didn't spend half as much time together as her and her father. Her dad promised her when he'd finished fixing up his beautiful Ford Mustang that he would take her for a spin in it and when he left her, he would leave it to her. Of course, she was extremely excited though she wasn't pleased at the idea of her father leaving her. When she was 16, her father was murdered in a drive by right out the front of their family home. It tore their world apart. Rather than sticking closer as a family, her mother distanced herself and Jamie had to admit, it was hard to live with her. Her mother even tried selling the car her father had left for her, but Jamie protected it and promised she'd get it up and running so that she could move it to another location. Not only did she feel she wanted to fix it up for herself, she wanted to get it running for her fathers sake as well. Upon her 18th birthday, Jamie moved out of the house to live with a friend in her apartment in the city, taking her fathers car along with her.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: Jamie has long, dirty blond/caramel brown hair that just about reaches the small of her back. Her eyes are a dark brown, almost a chocolate colour. Her skin is tanned; a nice natural shade of bronze. She has a couple of piercings; her bellybutton and her ears. Jamie has one tattoo; a feminine rose and vine pattern along the spine of her back, reaching between her shoulder blades to beginning of her buttocks. She very much enjoys keeping fit and working out, so she a bit more toned than someone else of her stature may be; she does a work-out every night and enjoys going to the Gym when she can. (She also enjoys taking part in things like dance, yoga, kick boxing and gymnastics.)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Jamie is an adrenaline junkie at heart. She's daring and isn't afraid to try new things. On one hand, Jamie can be a really friendly, helpful person to pretty much everyone. On the other hand however, she can be a bit grumpy at times and refuse to take instruction; she's a very proud girl. She's extremely bubbly and has been told she's quite a likable person; however, that doesn't always mean she wants to make friends. Jamie is also a very touchy-feely person and likes to be intimate with everyone if possible. As a mechanic, Jamie is very good at her job and enjoys driving/being driven very much but can sometimes get distracted easily and veer off topic on occasion. She likes to think she's one of the best at her job, but at the same time Jamie really loves to learn new things; not only about cars. All in all, Jamie is a very trusting character, though she gullible enough to believe everything that's told to her. She's a very honest, down-to-earth girl and at the end of the day, she'll tell it like it is; no mollycoddling.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Jamie is bisexual, though she has more of a taste for men. She very much enjoys when people take control and know what they want; it's very endearing to her. One of her favorite turn on's would be a sexy car and a confident personality to match; another reason she kept up her work as a mechanic. (O/O's Thread. (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=151032.0))<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character relations</span>: Around a year before the group began to use Jason's Garage as a hangout, Jamie was employed there as a sales rep to help run the front of house. Jamie enjoyed her job there and thought that it was going to be the best she could get around cars, being so young and a female. Six months later, she began having trouble with her flat mate and she asked Jason if she would be able to store her car there and possibly work on it while off work; he agreed. After seeing her surprising skills, she was 'promoted' to a mechanic, which was amazing in her eyes. She was working when the group first arrived and Jason kindly introduced her to Blaire and Lisa; the two she didn't know at the time. She wasn't afraid to interact with them and after a while of tagging along and interrupting, she just became apart of the group.<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://favim.com/orig/201107/31/boy-car-fashion-hot-guy-jon-Favim.com-117571.jpg)</div><hr>When she met the racers for the first time, Jamie went home and told her high school friend about it; she just couldn't stop talking about how they were and what could come of her being apart of the group. That's when the girl first started warning her that that kind of lifestyle was no good and would only get her hurt and cause trouble for them both. Of course, Jamie didn't listen and was slowly molding into the group. All she would talk about was the cars and the people, the idea of racing was exciting to her but he friend didn't like it all one bit. A few weeks after she was considered a part of the team, John Hellyer arrived and was introduced to them all. Jamie had to admit, she felt a little protective over him, being the new guy and all. The two really got on. By this time, her friend was threatening her with evicting her; she didn't want any trouble from racers and if Jamie was going to continue to behave this way, she'd have to leave. Just as she thought things couldn't get any better, John came to her with a request; he'd found a small place to rent not far from the garage but couldn't afford it by himself. Jamie had spoken to him about her troubles unconsciously and he wanted to know if she'd take the place as his rent buddy. That was all she needed to get her things and leave her friends place.<hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/wKftV.jpg)</div><hr>Lisa Yamata is a toughie. Jamie isn't particularly fond of her; she doesn't hate her but she feels a little defensive whenever she's around. Of course, she would never openly say something to offend Lisa, but a little remark here and there wouldn't go amiss. In all honest, she doesn't have anything against her, it's more that she feels competitive around her, since they're both good mechanics and technically Lisa is older than Jamie which in her eyes means more experience. (Though that isn't always true, it's just how she sees things.)<hr><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb266/Mel_Reyna/20688479509473182_TGwDJb04_c_zpsa626ba9f.jpg)</div><hr>Jamie got on with Blaire right from the start and was happy to hang around and learn from her. She respected her and quietly admired her. The two don't know each other very well and haven't really spoken personally to each, but Jamie hopes there is time to spend more time with her. Jamie can't help looking up to her and she would do whatever she could to help her and the team out with whatever they needed. In her eyes, Blaire is one of the ones who gave her a life worth living just by including her into the group without question; almost a savior from her boring, day to day life.<hr><br><br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101211190612/powerrangers/images/8/84/Kevin_Sorbo.jpg)</div><hr>Obviously Jason is Jamie's boss and although she's not a very professional person, at times she tries. She respects his decisions and much like Blaire she admires him. He is another who saved her from her average life; he introduced her to the people who've brought out the real Jamie. Jamie feels quite close to Jason and she see's him as the person she could go to for any trouble she had. Before John had asked her to rent an apartment with him, she was thinking about going to Jason for help. The only reason she didn't was that she didn't want to take advantage. Although they had known each other for a period of time before she met any of the group, Jamie felt that he was already giving her a perfect job and a place to work on and store her precious car; she didn't want to push it anymore even though she predicted that he wouldn't mind helping her out.<hr><br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg157/onilobo/Clint-4_zps9c4ac7e7.jpg)</div><hr>Since Clint R. 'Cowboy' Forge is quite a frequent visitor to Jason's Garage, Jamie has run into him a fair amount of times. She enjoys teasing him about the way he chooses to dress, his country accent and mannerisms and things along those lines. She looks up to him as an older brother figure and since she's never had any siblings, feels her connection with him is very important. Jamie has taken interest in things he does, such as playing cards and has asked him to teach her to play poker. She'd always be happy to return the favor by playing a decoy while he's in the middle of a poker game to distract the other members of the table. <hr>

He was always a wild and carefree person, but being orphaned had only increased his wild and dark side.

His parents had cheered him on as he rose to success as an F1 driver. He loved cars of all kinds, and he was good at racing them as well. His parents died a few years back, leaving him with their family's fortune, and changing his life. He kept racing, because that was the only thing that interested him. He could have taken over his family's company, but he didn't want to live such an ordinary life. He became rather thrill-seeking, sometimes dangerously so, since his parents had died. He began betting on his races, bored by the ordinary racing. Adrian lost track of himself a bit, and got into trouble with some loan sharks. Well, it was time for him to leave, but to where?<br><br>He moved to California, where he had heard about street racers gathering to have huge races. It was a big state, so it had plenty of room to host these. He figured that he could win enough races to pay back the loan sharks, yet somehow he managed to live comfortably in California, maintaining most of his valued possessions. He still loved driving and racing, and he was still good at it. He knew the insides of a car well, though he wasn't a real mechanic by any means. He knew enough to take care of his own car. He wandered California, driving the area incessantly, learning its weather and quirks, gaining confidence in his abilities. Eventually, he found a street racing crew, and quickly set himself to become that crew's lead driver.<br><br><strong>Car:</strong> Silver Bugatti EB110 Super Sport.<br><div class="floatright">(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1A9-GWErSjc/UL9uegMGP6I/AAAAAAAAC6w/hobnD6ti7IE/s400/Bugatti-EB110-wallpapers+(2).jpg"])</div><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character relations</span>: {How did your character get into the spot that they are in.

Pale-skinned, dark Germanic. The slight hint of a sneer seems to have been factory installed on his face - it's there even when he sleeps. Of course, when he means it, it becomes even worse.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Affiliation</span>: Street racer, occasional smuggler, parts-shop stocker. Rex works by day in an auto-parts shop, doing stock-work and making deliveries to dealerships and local mechanics. Undoubtedly while some small part of his financial success has to do with the occasional shipment gone missing, significantly more of it has to do with the occasional shipment that contains things it shouldn't...and his willingness to make deliveries on those things without asking questions. As a parts-counter guy, he's only a barely adequate mechanic - but he's willing to trade parts or cash to see a job done right on his car. When Friday night rolls around, he's a bat out of Hell any place he can find someone worth challenging, putting his legal and illegal earnings on the line in the best tuned vehicle he's been able to have cobbled together. <br><br><hr><div class="floatleft">(http://jaydeemmm.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/240f3-4b-n2.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference (The car)</span>:Grey market import 2002 Autech Silvia S15 Spec-R Varietta (What's a Varietta?!

(http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/76/f9bdeb33457b4001bb463883ddeacab2/l.jpg) As might be expected of a grey market import, it is RHD.)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: Rex isn't an evil guy. He isn't malicious or deliberately cruel, he's just got a somewhat broken moral compass and very low tolerance for rules or laws that get in his way. <br><br>Rex's divorced mother took him with her to California when he was ten, and with her constant bitching about alimony payments instilled in him a sense of the unfairness of the world and its lack of respect for an individual's entitlement. As time went on, he saw less and less of his father, a low-end stock-car driver who made ends meet by working as a club magician (when he could find such employment) and doing children's parties (when he couldn't). These two miserable people were the exemplars from which Rex derived the Way the World Works: <br><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>The hand is quicker than the eye.</li><li>Everything's got to come from somewhere. You gain, somebody else loses. That's the breaks.</li><li>Sometimes you've got to take what you're entitled to.</li><li>The best way to control an audience is to focus their attention.</li></ul><br>Growing into his teenage years in California, Rex never stopped craving the spotlight. He was the second-best quarterback on the school team, until he got caught with steroids because he was tired of being second best. <br><br>At 17, he ended up pleading to a misdemeanor reckless driving charge that was part of a joyriding case against two of his friends. Because one of the accused thieves was eighteen, the case was uneasily divided between the juvenile and criminal courts. As his friends frequently worked on, bought, and sold automobiles, and were witnessed picking him up in the stolen car, he argued that he hadn't been told the car was stolen, and still wasn't aware when they were finally pulled over. He was fined, his license was suspended briefly, but because he was tried as a juvenile this is a 'sealed record.'<br><br>It is only because of this sealed record that he was able to get a driving job at eighteen while he was going to tech school. After his first year, he rapidly became one of the highest-paid young cabbies in the San Francisco Checkered cab fleet - until they figured out he was using every trick in the book to jump fares and run up the meter while using speed to convince passengers that they were getting somewhere fast, even though the 'short cut' was the long way around. It was around this time that he first started racing in SCCA Autocross events - solo slalom-course races that rewarded pushing the limits of control to make the best time through a difficult course. The skills he picked up would serve him well later.<br><br>At twenty-one, he was involved in a three-car pileup that was ostensibly the result of street racing. Rex insisted blithely that he was a non-participant, casting the blame on the other two, both of whom were also being charged with DUI (Rex was, perhaps surprisingly, clean). He got out of it with what amounted to a minor hand-slap, but his insurance agency then tried to charge him as well, and by the time it was done he had no car and a rather large legal debt. He couldn't keep doing his work without a car, and he couldn't pay off the debt without a job - hell, even with the job, he couldn't easily pay off his debt. Enter his old acquaintance Fernando, who knew some people who knew some people who could get him some money, quick, but he would have to repay it.<br><br>Rex understood from the beginning that he needed to pay the debt off in full and on-time, if not sooner. He made a pretty good impression for the first half year. Never missed a payment, always handed over a little extra, never made it necessary for anybody to ask where he was, much less where his money was. Better still, Fernando eased him into an evenings and weekends job that was significantly more lucrative...He just had to do some regular travelling to Mexico, behave himself at the border, and not ask too many questions. In time, his debtors merged with his employers, and when he finally paid off what he owed, he had a nice, regular source of side-income.<br><br>Two years later, after 9/11, the borders got a lot tougher. Rex had fewer appointments, and things seemed more and more dangerous. He'd gotten a decent job at an auto parts store, though, and in 2002, he got asked if he handled shipping and receiving. Why yes, yes he did. This was convenient, since a great many aftermarket and semi-OEM parts were produced in Mexico and shipped into the U.S. without much in the way of inspection. Rex simply had to make the right orders from the right companies at the right times and make sure the right customers picked them up. Or in some cases, he got to do some more driving, delivering 'parts' to particular customers who didn't have the time to come into the shop. <br><br>For Rex, things have been going pretty well ever since.<br><br>Rex has picked up more than a few simple sleight-of-hand tricks from his father - nobody who knows him can ever remember seeing him use an actual lighter to ignite a cigarette, and when he's bored he has a tendency to roll quarters along the backs of his fingers. No-one has ever proven any direct connection, but a few serious competitors have had to drop out of races in his vicinity because they couldn't find their keys. He's known to occasionally deal drugs...deal, not push...and while he uses weed, the word is that he can get hold of almost anything. Rex has strict rules about not selling to racers a day or two before they'll be racing. He'll happily sell to them afterward, but in at least this sense he sees himself as responsible, or at least not wanting any share of the responsibility if other drivers end the race in a hospital or a morgue.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>:&nbsp; Rex is a swaggering cock. He dresses like a polished version of something out of a fifties biker movie, right down to the black leather bomber jacket and the slicked and styled hair. But between the curt remnants of his Brooklyn accent and the way the leather fits him, he somehow manages to make it work. As annoyingly stereotypical as it is, in a peculiar way the greatest annoyance is that he doesn't seem to be acting, or even aware of the stereotype. The man pulls it off, and somehow pulls it together with a casually maniacal flair that makes the hooligan effect seem only natural.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Rex is slightly aggressive at the best of times. He likes to be the center of attention. He likes to win.&nbsp; He's willing to support someone else's win, so long as it's obvious that he's the one who made it possible. He likes helping his friends, so long as they're appreciative and remember who helped them. Actually, he'll help just about anyone, so long as it'll feed his ego to do it - not that he thinks about it that way, he's just propelled by a more selfish drive-train than an altruistic one, but once it's put in gear, it's still delivering the same results so far as everyone else is concerned. When racing, Rex is extremely aggressive. He makes a good lieutenant or 'blocker' in this sense, and he's not averse to a bit of cooking the books, fixing the odds, minor theft, sabotage or other forms of cheating and unpleasantness, so long as nobody gets seriously hurt...And as far as he's concerned, emotional wounds can heal, and if it's a little risky, well...most modern cars are made to keep their drivers alive through most crashes...Not that anyone's certain Rex ever deliberately caused a crash, but he certainly seems willing to play chicken. This and the somewhat maniacal attitude he cultivates go a long way to suggest that he doesn't go out of his way to <em>avoid</em> causing crashes. Off the track, he has a tendency to see himself as the man others come to for solutions...Whether it's parts, drug connections, or solving problems that consist of other people. He's pretty easy to get help from for people who know him...So long as he's believes he's being treated with respect and people are willing to acknowledge that they need him and what he can do. Stroke him the right way and it's easy to get what one wants. Irritate him and...Things are liable to get harder. At the worst of times, Rex will be an arrogant and pushy bastard. If he is someone's lieutenant, they'd best keep him on a short leash. If he isn't the lieutenant, then whoever <em>is</em> had better watch their back. (With his limited scruples he probably shouldn't be a group leader.)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Crooked. Which is to say, not straight...Not that it is likely to come up much, since every other male here seems to be! Rex certainly seems to prefer females, but then, more than <em>any</em> matters of gender, Rex pays attention to having his ego stroked. He's definitely a self-obsessed bastard, and the odds are good he'll either take the lead in bed, or expect to be treated well for the favor he's doing you. What do you mean he isn't doing you a favor? You're in his bed, right? ;)

Initially, she got into modelling because the mechanics of cars couldn't interest her too much. She turned her attention to street racing when she was around 20 years of age, after she'd been given a ride by one of her befriended drivers. Aurora was sold from that moment on. Her success wit her previous cars has been limited, which is why she traded her car in for a new project. Aside from racing, she takes it upon herself to do some of the organizational tasks if required.<br><br>She inherited her fathers garage after he passed away, closed it down and only uses it for herself and her friends. Aurora isn't particularly notorious in the local street racing scene and her success never went beyond the city and its local events. Most attention is directed at Aurora being a female in a male-dominant culture. It's not entirely certain how Aurora manages to fund her hobby. How she managed to import and fund a rather rare vehicle is not a matter of public knowledge.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: She likes to dress fashionably and sometimes sexy, unless she's racing. Aurora walks with confidence and knows her appearance attracts quite some attention. Her appearance and attire will be elaborated on whenever it changes. She has no (visible) tattoos or markings.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Aurora can be manipulative if needed, using others for her own benefit and covering up with her alluring appearance. Towards women, she <em>may</em> come across as bitchy at times, even hostile, with exception to her close friends. She has made it somewhat of a personal hobby to seduce and discard men, giving her a rather bad reputation.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>:&nbsp; Ms. Lee is heterosexual, but could possibly be talked or forced into experimenting with women.

When she was in her mid-teens and they were all in their late teens or early twenties, they started getting into modified cars and street racing but eventually drifted away from the scene after a while. For the next few years, Blaire went through with the regular day to day grind, going to school to study biology and working part-time as an assistant at a morgue. <br><br>She ended up going on a slow but constant downward spiral, her grades and attendance deteriorating more and more with each passing semester until finally she just gave up and dropped out. Feeling unsatisfied and even depressed about the way that her life was going, Blaire suddenly decided to just say 'fuck it' and try to do all of the things that she'd always wanted to do instead of what was expected of her by her parents or by society. <br><br>It started off innocently enough, just a small tattoo, but it snowballed pretty quickly from there. More tattoos, piercings, cars, racing, sex, alcohol and even drugs...there was a period of time during which Blaire was a complete mess, but luckily she managed to pull herself out of it before anything tragic happened. Since then, she's been trying to satiate her cravings for thrills and excitement through means other than drugs, so she started taking the whole racing thing a lot more seriously.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: Blaire has several tattoos on her arms, legs stomach and back as well as nipple and clit piercings. She's somewhat eclectic when it comes to her style, but it's not uncommon to see her wearing something pretty provocative and edgy. Her eyes are green and her hair is naturally a light blonde, but she's not afraid to dye it whatever other color on a whim.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: She's a very obsessive person, it doesn't take much for her to really get hooked onto someone or something. As an extension of that, she's also very competitive about the things that she takes an interest in. Blaire's pretty chill with most people as long as she feels like they're genuine and that they're not trying to control or pressure her.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Blaire's totally bisexual with rather broad tastes, a high sex drive and a tendency to be a little promiscuous.<br>&nbsp;

Italian female.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Affiliation</span>: Loan shark and part time racing promoter. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference (The car)</span>: &nbsp;Mistubishi Lancer Evo MR. (http://cimbeon.com/photos/mitsubishi-lancer-evo-mr/03/)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: Natalia is the daughter of racing legend back in Italy who she never knew till her mother died. Her father took her in under his wing and tried to keep his racing life separate from his personal life. She grew up in Rome and was a great dancer there, performing locally which soon grew to nationwide. However, she fell in love with on Daddy Dearest's racers and her life was never the same. Now, the life that her father had tried shielding her from was open to her and she took full advantage of it. No longer was she the timid little dancer that captivated audiences. She easily understood the ins and outs of racing and soon became the President of her father's racing company. Her father's company has always been rumored to be dealing in illegal business but nothing has been proven. <br><br>Later, her boyfriend was murdered by one of the many loan sharks in the business and in a rage, Natalia had sought out the murderer and shot him herself. She isn't just a pretty face and is deadly with guns and knives. Something her boyfriend and father often taught her. Now, she's one of the notorious loan sharks and is very picky about when she gets her money. To keep things somewhat legal, she does racing promotion for her father's company.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: She can be a fashionista but prefers to dress comfortable in case she ever has to get her hands dirty. However, she always wears heels. She is a major shoe lover and most of her closet is filled with nothing but heels. She doesn't care for trends and will always dress the way she wants. She doesn't pay attention to if she's on the best dressed list or the worst dressed list.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: She's more than just a beautiful face. Though, she has no qualms about using her sexuality to get what she wants and when she wants. She can be quite demanding and a bit rude, but most of the time she means well. She's not shy and if she doesn't like someone, they'll know it. Over all, she's easy to get along with. But if anyone crosses her, that's it. The phrase, "Works Hard, Plays Hard," is what she believes she falls under.<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Straight but does admire the female form. Even though she's fairly dominant outside of bed, she doesn't like to be in bed but she won't give in quickly either. She's single. <br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character relations</span>: Natalia had investigated the growing California racing scene for awhile but hadn't come into any substantial leads to dip her toes into it. She didn't want to have to rely on Daddy Dearest to do it so she sat back and bided her time. Something, that she is quite good at. When the moment came, she inserted herself into the racing scene specializing in funding drivers and their teams. After all, coming from money and having her own does help.<br><br>Pietro Uno: Natalia first met Uno through Catholic services after each coming from Confessional. They share similar interests and decided to form a mutual partnership with each other. Both coming from money, they each help each other out when they come into bits of trouble though lately, Natalia has been edging Uno to make bets with large amounts of money. They're relationship is pure business though there is the definite hint of sexual tension so it's only a matter of time.<br><br>Chris Anderson: Natalia hired him to be a courier. At least that's what the only legal about his job. When people don't pay, she sends him to take what they value most to ensure that they pay up. He's been reliable so far and hasn't ever crossed her but Natalia doesn't become close with people she works with. She's taken him under her wing so far and is teaching him some of what she knows.<br><br>Jenna Song: Natalia first met Jenna and quickly decided that she would be an excellent assistant. She essentially finds out all the information she needs to know about the California racing scene, among other things that Natalia needs to quickly gets her hands on. Of course, it doesn't hurt that her assistant has a pretty face to make things a lot quicker.<br><br>Jason Hunt: The Long Haired Devil as she affectionately calls him. They have a heated past that came to an explosive end. The only thing she remembers about their final break up was the fact that she had essentially tried to destroy his car. She apologized a couple of months later when the two met to conduct business together. They don't often get through a meeting without insulting each other but for the sake of money, they get along. If she had the chance, she would definitely prove him wrong about the last thing he had said to her when they finally parted ways.

				<div align="center"><span class="bbc_u">ebpohmr</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/38/Jason_Hunt.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_u">Character name</span>: Jason Hunt<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character age</span>: 37<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character birthday</span>: 7th April<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character build</span>: Caucasian male, standing at 1.91 metres tall and weighing in at 102kg with an athletic build.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Affiliation</span>: Retired racer and stunt driver, owns a vehicle restoration and customisation shop.&nbsp; <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference</span>: 70's &amp; 80's American Muscle Cars - drives a 1978 Pontiac Trans-Am Firebird that he has restored and customised over the past five years.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: As his dad was an automobile mechanic and his mother died when he was a young, Jason grew up around cars. He had no particular love for them though until he sat watching a rerun of the 1977 movie Smokey and the Bandit. Something about the Bandit's car just caught the young boy's imagination and he fell in love with the sleek muscle car and that widened into a great appreciation for American Muscle cars in general. Although he was trained as a mechanic by virtue of years spent helping his Dad, Jason was more interested in the driving than the fixing. He liked to go fast and had a feel for how far he could push the car he was driving. <br><br>After winning a few local track races, Jason was offered sponsorship and he leapt at the chance to become a professional racer. For seven years he raced production cars on the oval circuit series, but after the initial excitement wore off, he discovered that it wasn't for him. After retiring from racing, Jason got into stunt driving and while he enjoyed the challenge of pulling off some tough stunts, again he found that the joy just wasn't there. At the age of thirty-two, Jason had a pile of cash saved up but no real ambition in life except to keep driving.<br><br>During a visit back home, he was helping his dad in the family garage when it suddenly hit him just how much he had missed working on the cars. On returning to the city, Jason sunk most of his money into a large garage. Using his fame as a circuit and stunt driver, he brought in some business - more so when he managed to hook up with the local street racing scene. Finding a beat-up 1978 trans-am, he began restoring and customising the car that had always been in his heart. Finding that he got real satisfaction from the process, he began acquiring other write-off's and started to focus his garage's work on restoration and customisation. As he often has space to spare in the garage, he has invited racer's to come in and use his facilities, mostly gratis. Jason rarely races any more and when he does, it is purely for the joy of the ride. <br><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f6/Trans-Am.jpeg)</div><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: At 6 foot 3 inches and being naturally built like a linebacker, Jason can at first seem intimidating although this is usually offset by his friendly demeanour and smile. He moves with a relaxed confidence, as if he is a man in control of a life he is enjoying. While he will occasionally grow out a beard, Jason prefers to shave every other day. Although some people call him a hippy for it, Jason keeps his hair a few inches past his shoulders in length - the hassle is worth it considering that his lovers always seem to enjoy running their hands through it. His usual attire is a leather jacket worn over polo-shirt with jeans, although he can wear a suit well when he needs to and will often wear blue coveralls when working in the garage.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Time has soothed the adrenaline junkie in him enough that, while Jason enjoys going fast and living the high life, it isn't enough for all the time. As such, he also has a solid, dependable side and an eye to the future. He has lived enough to know that there will always be someone better at anything he does and having accepted this, Jason tends to be fairly laid back and friendly. He can often be found at meets or parties at the centre of a group, sat with a bottle of beer as he recalls stories from his life or gives advice to those that ask for it. Jason still remembers what it was like to break into the racing culture and as a result, he has a soft spot for new arrivals and will often go to their aid, sometimes even sponsoring them or allowing them free use of his facilities and time. He does have a darker side, and those that betray his trust or take a grievance against his friends too far will often find this out to their detriment. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Jason is heterosexual, but he doesn't mind having an audience or extra participants involved. He tends to take control and show that the shifter isn't the only stick he has a gift with. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character relations</span>: Jason met most of the other members of the scene through either his garage or the people he mentors. He views himself as the surrogate father of the group and keeps an eye out for his strange family. He is only too happy to lend his experience from years of track racing and stunt driving to help improve the skills of his friends. Every Sunday afternoon, Jason hosts a bbq in the communal area behind the garage. His team and their partners are invites, as are select other individuals. The only rules are a) no business talk and b) he doesn't play strip poker. He has yet to explain the origins of rule b.<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb266/Mel_Reyna/20688479509473182_TGwDJb04_c_zpsa626ba9f.jpg)</div> <strong>Blaire Simmons</strong><br>Jason first met Blaire a while back when she brought her car into his garage for some work to be done on fine-tuning the suspension. The work itself was quite straightforward, but when it came time to pay, there were issues. Refusing to accept the non-cash equivalent payment she offered, Jason instead got her drunk and left her to sleep it off in one of his guest rooms. Hating to see anyone in her state, he did what he could to help her get back on her feet. Since then, Blaire has become a regular feature in his life and around the garage. After suggesting to her that she look at building a team, she has introduced him to Lisa Yamata, John Hellyer and Cowboy. Jason thinks of her almost like a daughter and often worries that she might regress if he doesn't keep an eye on her.<br><br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/wKftV.jpg)</div> <strong>Lisa Yamata</strong><br>Jason met Lisa Yamata through Blaire about 6 months ago. Having seen Lisa race, Jason got curious as to why she was especially cautious with her racing. He eventually brushed past enough excuses to got her to confide in him with regards to her financial situation. Respecting her determination to race without much of a safety net, he made her a deal. In return for bringing any repair work to him, he would charge her at cost. Discovering that she was plenty capable under the hood too, he offered her a part time job to earn some extra cash. <br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://favim.com/orig/201107/31/boy-car-fashion-hot-guy-jon-Favim.com-117571.jpg)</div> <strong>John Hellyer</strong><br>Blaire introduced John to Jason about 2 months ago. Taking a liking to the smiling medical student, Jason did what he could to help the kid get into the scene. When the kid came to the older man for advice on what to do with some money he had inherited, Jason advised him to buy a car and offered to help him choose, acquire and customise his ride.<br><br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://img002.lazygirls.info/people/jessica_burciaga/jessica_burciaga_sexy_mechanic_DVfkalG.sized.jpg)</div> <strong>Jamie Mendez</strong><br>Jason first met Jamie about a year ago, when he was looking to hire a pretty face to bring in interest through the front of house. About six months ago, Jason found out that she was going through a rough patch and when she asked him, allowed her to store and work on her car in his garage. After seeing her mechanical skills, he took her from the office and put her to work in the shop. Jason was pleased to see that she got on well with Blaire and had no complaints when he realised how much his mechanic looked to the other woman. Although he isn't that far off being twice her age, he likes having Jamie around the garage as she invariably brightens his day with her bubbly and energetic personality.<br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg157/onilobo/Clint-4_zps9c4ac7e7.jpg)</div><strong> Clint "Cowboy" Forge</strong><br>Jason was introduced to Cowboy through Blaire when the former came to the garage to pick up the latter. Getting into a conversation about the garage. Cowboy mentioned his painting skills and Jason decided to see what he could do. Liking Cowboy's work, Jason commissioned him to paint the firebird that adorns the hood of his beloved Trans-Am. Cowboy is now his go-to guy for custom or complicated paint jobs. Jason respects Cowboy and has extended to him a standing invite to the Sunday bbq behind his garage.<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i49.tinypic.com/vmtbmb.jpg)</div> <strong>Natalia Verone</strong><br>Jason has run into the Italian Vixen, or Dragon depending on how recently he has spoken to the hellcat, numerous times in the past year. About six months ago, the two hooked up for several weeks. It was actually pretty great - so great in fact that they spent so much time in the bedroom or otherwise with each other that their respective business' suffered from lack of attention. Of course, they butted heads a lot too and when they stopped spending so much time with each other so they could attend to their responsibilities, their arguments got more frequent and more severe. Eventually, they just decided to end the relationship, due in no small part to a rather mean-spirited fight where Natalia tried to torch Jason's Trans-Am and he told her she was 'a soulless harpy incapable of loving anyone other than herself'. Since then, they have remained barely cordial with one another and keep to a purely business relationship - which is to say that he has to go tell her to back off if she is over-hassling one of his people.</div> <br><br><br><hr><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u">North State Restorations - aka Jason Hunt's Garage</span></span><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">4220-4240 Lakeshore Blvd, Lakeport, CA 95453 (http://goo.gl/maps/v0738)</span></div><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Garage, Main Floor</strong><br>Largely open plan, except for the small reception/office on the right hand side. The stairs up to the second floor run from the back of the garage up to above the office. Next to the bottom of the stairs is a garage door leading to the rear of the property. Next to this door and stretching along the back wall are the parts racks. A series of car lifts and maintenance pits stretch across the middle of the garage. The left wall is filled with tools and equipment.<br><br><strong>Garage, Upper Floor</strong><br>Added at his own expense, there is a second floor above the garage that Jason uses as his home. It is accessed from inside the garage via the stairs which lead to the kitchen that sits above the office and first garage door. There are three exits from the kitchen, including the door to the stairs, one doorless opening leading towards the rear of the garage that immediately opens up into a locker room with attached co-ed toilet and shower cubicle. The second door in the kitchen leads to Jason's private rooms which include his bedroom and ensuite bathroom, a double-bed guestroom and lounge. The staff/guests are welcome to use the kitchen, locker room, toilet and shower. The other rooms are by Jason's invitation only. <br><br><strong>Garage, Front</strong><br>The front of the garage is a large asphalt forecourt, used for employee or guest parking. There is one enclosed building, one half of which is used for sand blasting and the other half used for spray painting. The main garage is accessed by two large garage doors, as well as a small door on the front right corner which leads straight into the reception area. The asphalt continues down the left side of the garage.<br><br><strong>Garage, Rear</strong><br>Out back of the garage, to the left, there are two narrow guest apartments (small lounge, small kitchen, bathroom, double-bed bedroom) one atop the other that almost look like stacked shipping containers. A set of stairs allow access to the upper apartment. There is also a paved communal area to the right (looking out over the lake), with a large table, plenty of chairs and a fixed barbecue grill. At the rear of the apartments is space for a few cars to park in that can be accessed by driving around the left side of the garage.<br><br><strong>Notes</strong><br><br>Jason is letting Blaire live in the lower guest apartment out back. <br><br>If people want to crash there at the end of the night, there is the upper apartment out back, the guest room upstairs in the garage and at least two people could crash out on couches in the lounge upstairs. So that would allow 6-11 people to sleep comfortably, depending on the exact numbers using the various beds...<br><br>The North State Masters and Cowboy have standing invitations to make use of Jason's private rooms, as long as they tidy up their own mess and don't get freaky in his bed (unless he is included in the fun, leastwise).</div>

It was enough for an offer to turn professional with a new team based in America to be made. He took it. Arrived in Miami with just his bags and 200 dollars, a day later the company behind the team went bust, with no way home Chris was stranded, what made things worst the company owner had a history of ripping his own companies off until they collapsed.

She was raised in a particularly interesting place though, Yashio, of the Saitama prefecture in Japan. Her mother was an American business woman, she had moved to Japan for financial reasons, and she worked in Tokyo while she had lived in Yashio. Jenna grew up around cars. She knows what's fast, and she knows why its fast.<br><br>With that being said. She has two cars. a 1984 Toyata Celica as a road car, and a car that she takes to races for appearance, a Honda S2000 from the turn of the century.<br><br>&nbsp;Toyota Celica (http://i48.tinypic.com/b68zfr.jpg)<br>&nbsp;Honda S2000 (http://i46.tinypic.com/34865bc.jpg)<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>: Jenna is not a wealthy girl. Her family is good with money. She's worked hard to get where she is today. As stated, she grew up in Saitama, but her father wanted her to get to know her American family. She was an only child, and it seemed important. Her mother was skeptical, it had been a long time without any contact. America was massively different than Saitama, and she grew to enjoy the new parts of life that California had to offer. Both in Japan, and the States, Jenna's parents were incredibly strict. In college, she rebelled, and started hanging around with rude American boys who only wanted their itches scratched. <br><br>She fell into a group that were excited about getting into street racing. They were rich college boys who had been given money, something she was never lucky enough to have. Two of the boys were sharing Jenna, and she was enjoying it. (more to come about this group of boys that she was running with), long story short, the boys knew nothing of strategy, cars, or real speed. She was just as embarassed as they were. Jenna loved the cars and the people, and a lot of her childhood memories from Saitama were coming back to her. The boys quit, and she purchased the Toyota from them in order to keep going and learning about this world. Jenna didn't want to race. She wanted to organize them. She wanted to make everything work right, she wanted a story she could tell for years. So, a 20 year old Kobayashi Miyo wandered to street races alone. There was always someone going on about how they desperately needed an impossible to get part for their car, at first it helped her learn. Then she started to use her business skills to acquire these parts. Jenna has made a bit of a reputation for herself becoming something of a 'go to gal' for just about anything a racer could need, that includes parts, locations for races, hired stopwatch-men at corners for time trials, and security, using local gangs to distract the police, and block roads.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>:<br><br>At the races Jenna dresses as a "stereotypical" Gearhead girl, she always has and it makes things easier. Everything is short and tight so that she blends in to the crowd. If the police turn up looking for the organizers of the race, they always go for the white guys in suits not the asian chick in the pink hot-pants. Away from the street races Jenna usually dresses more conservatively, typically in some kind of business-casual combination.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>:Kobayashi Miyo has a few different extremes to her personality. And she can usually be in two or three different roles at a time. In Manager mode she appears very controlled, never looses her cool and is all business. In Gearhead girl mode Jenna is almost the polar opposite a party girl who always seems to have a man on her arm. But away from crowds, with just people she knows Jenna is somewhere in between the two extremes<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Jenna is bisexual. The races give her the excuse to be incredibly flirty.

Worked in her fathers dealership ever since she was a child and learned through an apprenticeship. As a driver, Lisa normally races quarter mile drag strips but she has began to take an interest in drift racing. She doesn't have much in the way of funds, should her car become totaled, so she tends to drive a bit on the conservative side.&nbsp; <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Automotive Preference (The car)</span>: Asian import cars. Easy to fix, lots of aftermarket parts, looks nice when fully kitted out. She has nothing against American cars, but seems to not like most European cars.<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/NDiQJ.jpg)</div><br><span class="bbc_u">Brief History</span>:&nbsp; Lisa's father has owned a, decently successful, multi-brand dealership ever since she can remember. As both parents worked, Lisa would leave school and go to her fathers dealership to do her homework. Of course, being a kid, she found homework boring and the sound of engines and tools to be more exciting. She spent more and more time in the mechanic pit, watching cars. She built an impromptu apprenticeship with the other mechanics, and was doing simple repairs for the shop by the age of fourteen. By the time she could drive, she was able to pull apart an engine block and put it back together, mostly. By the time she graduated high school, all she ever wanted to do was work on cars. She ended up with a job working for her father, selling him on the fact that she would learn the business from the inside and out and, one day, would take over the dealership. With the money she saved, she made her first purchase, a black Acura Integra. One of the mechanics from the shop introduced her to a quarter mile strip of road and&nbsp; a local crew of racers. From then on, it was an addiction. After years and thousands of dollars into her car, she ended up trading up to a Mazda RX-7 FD. The rest is history.<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: She dresses conservative for the most part, clothes she is not afraid to get dirty in. It is not uncommon for her to have grime or grease stains on her skin. Her left arm has a sprawling tattoo from her left arm, spiraling around and up&nbsp; along her back, a giant dragon who's head finishes upon her back, flames flaring off of the dragon's body. The tattoo is elaborately shaded, looking like it took some time and was expensive. The outline for a second dragon, on her right arm, is set, but no where near finished. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Lisa is a hard worker. The kind who does her research and does not finish until the job is done. Because of this, she can be very intense and is prone to outbursts over long periods of failures or frustrations. While she does race, winning is not that important to her. It's the community and the ride that she enjoys, though the money is nice. She is fiercely loyal to friends and is more than willing to sit in a cell than to snitch her friends out to the police. This also means that, should someone threaten someone close to her, she will grab a socket wrench and remind them why it's a bad idea to shoot their mouth off. By and large, she is nice to be around, if not a bit boring at times.<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Sexually, she is bisexual with a bit of a male preference. She does not seek out sexual encounters, but does not mind if a few end up coming her way. <br><br>I still need to add in character relations. Being worked on.<br>

He learned to drive before he was 10, and has been acquiring more experience ever since. However it was only when he started racing that he found his true passion, the brief moments that a race lasted allowed him to feel completely himself.<br><br>With a talent to be in important places and enough money to not have other worries Pietro tends to show up wherever a "hot" race scene is brewing, while he doesn't do it often he has been known to fund other drivers he likes to give them a chance, it is also known that he expects favors to be returned.<br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span>: Due to his upbringing he tends to dress in suits, he moves with confidence and always makes sure his appearance is perfect.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span>: Confident bordering cocky he can be hard to take sometimes, he acts that way because he feels he deserves it, while a lot of what he is was made possible by his parents money, his racing abilities were something he forged, and in his mind that is what defines him. He is determined to get what he wants and will rarely back down.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Other</span>: Straight, while he enjoys being in charge he also like to be confronted with a strong personality<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Character Relations</span>: As Pietro got more and more involved with the world of racing he found he needed to commit more of his time and money, also that he couldn't be everywhere, so he started to recruit drivers, when they do well he feels that he is doing that too, so while not the same as driving himself it also gives him a thrill. That is an expensive activity and he has had to make full extent of his business skills, contact and his know how of street racing.<br><br><strong>Natalia Verone</strong>: at this moment she is an important associate to him, she provides money when he needs it and doesn't have it, such arrangements are not free or cheap but so far it has been lucrative for both, their interactions however are quickly becoming more than professional with small flirtations and the dangerous activity of higher and higher bets.<br><br><strong>Jenna Song</strong>: She is where Pietro can't be and has proven valuable help time and time again, their relationship has been strictly professional so far but they have a great deal of respect for each other.<br><br><strong>Blaire Simmons</strong>: She thinks Pietro is a spoiled rich kid that only does well because of his money, and he thinks she is worthless. This could change if she proves her skills before him, but for now he has a deep seated annoyance for her which was solidified when she tried to take one of his drivers.
