Brown hair. Blue eyes. Lots of tats.<br><strong>Personality</strong>: <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;While he comes across as quiet and mildly passive, when he chooses to finally take action he does so aggressively and usually takes things way further than they ever needed to go in the first place. He is fairly laid back and prefers to spend most of his time under the hood or doing something physical. Despite being quite a workout fiend, Taras has a hidden love for all things mechanical and loves to tinker and perform other intellectual tasks because of their challenging nature. Everything he knows about cars and the mechanics involved has been self-taught and he takes pride in learning new things and accomplishing difficult tasks on his own.<br><br><strong>History</strong>: <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Taras was adopted from Ukraine at a very young age. His parents struggled with poverty, already having five children before him - so they sent him away, hoping he would have a chance at a better life in the United States. Sadly, his adoptive parents were just in it for the government incentives and the tax credits... So Taras had to learn to take care of himself. Coming from a rough country fresh out of Soviet control, he was born with a tough outer shell and most things don't really bother him much at all. He grew up running loose in the streets and getting into trouble, stealing to survive and getting even with anyone that crossed his path.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Taras' abrasive personality and rough upbringing frequently got him into trouble at school - and the language barrier with his accent and poor english vocabulary did little to make school a fun place to be. He kept it interesting by getting into fights with other students over anything and everything... and he usually won. He battered his way through his freshman and sophmore years, getting help with homework from the nerds and geeks in return for beating up bullies and jocks that pestered them. Eventually though his fighting got him suspended and expelled and that was where Cori came in. Growing up on the streets without a school cafeteria to live off of, Taras turned to Cori - who helped him scrape by stealing the things he needed (and maybe a few things he wanted as well). The two developed a good friendship during that time, and only a friendship.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Nothing really changed until Taras got busted for assault and battery and spent a year in state prison. Now an ex-con, it became incredibly tough to find an honest job - especially with Taras' rough personality. So he eventually turned to Cori again and started helping her boost cars - partly because he had plenty of experience already, but mostly because he enjoyed it. He was bold behind the wheel and made quick decisions. The driving skills that he developed boosting cars with Cori eventually led him to follow the long-time friend into the street racing scene. Now older, his friendship with Cori has crossed into new territory - as the two have had an intimate encounter or two on the job... though neither one of them have the patience for a relationship with the other.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Shortly before one of Taras' first couple of street races (and the immediately before the first one he actually WON), he chased off a bunch of thugs from taking advantage of a young girl named Allison. After him helping her through the traumatic experience, he kind of took her in as a kid sister and always tried to help her out whenever he was able. She spent a few years pursuing professional racing - which he always encouraged of her, hoping she wouldn't get tied up into the illegal activities he'd had to settle for... It didn't last long though and eventually she came back after a suffering a big emotional loss. She quickly became a regular and had great driving skills, so when she eventually looked to officially join the crew, Taras was the first to vouch for her.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;These days, the tall muscle-head spends the majority of his time in the garage trying avoid volatile encounters that will get him put back in the slammer; however, he is very protective of the other crew members - particularly Allison - and won't hesitate to jump into danger (or the chance at possibly getting arrested) if they might need his help. Although he keeps himself rather penned up most of the time... either Allison or Cori only has to speak a word to talk him into going out and partying with the rest of the group... Other than that, an empty, winding country road and a freshly boosted Chevelle is his only other true kryptonite.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>Extra Info</strong>:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;While Taras doesn't mind working on imports, he favors classic muscle cars - having always enjoyed seeing them in magazines back when he was a kid in Ukraine. His two favorite vehicles of all time are a 72' Chevelle SS and a 69' Pontiac Firebird. He has an orange hardtop Firebird as his signature car, but loves to jack Chevelle's and take them on midnight joyrides - redlining the hell out of them. Taras' tends to win more races than he loses, but he's not incredibly consistent. When he wins, he wins big - which is partially the reason some of the other members are willing to follow his lead. His wins are usually from pushing a car more to its limits than the next guy would dare. Occasionally this bites him in the ass, but not too often.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Taras is usually wearing a pair of faded/ripped jeans and a tanktop if any shirt at all. He loves his tats and rarely covers them up. The only item with sleeves that he is ever seen wearing is his leather jacket. It took forever to get anything in Ukraine when he was a very young kid. So he always remembered the old american muscle cars magazines that pictured the classic 50's male icon in jeans, a leather jacket, and aviator shades. It was just something he'd always liked and stuck with him.</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">His 69' Hardtop Firebird</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/jotunusmc/69Firebird.jpg)(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/jotunusmc/69firebird400.jpg)</div></div></div>

				Alright, everything bookmarked this time!<br><br><hr><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 24pt;" class="bbc_size">关强军<br><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font">Kwan Qiang Jun<br>Mr Kwan</span></span></div><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e6/Watanabeint1.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><strong>Age:</strong> 50<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>Orientation:</strong> Secretly homosexual<br><strong>Position/Title:</strong> 489, Dragon Head of Seattle<br><strong>Specialty:</strong> Organized crime<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Ruthless in his approach to business and crime, but quite a gentleman in all other ways. Doesn't lose his temper and always exuding an aura of power and control.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Kwan Qiang Jun had to work hard to get where he was today. A lifetime of serving the Bamboo Union, the largest of Taiwan's triads, has payed off in his control of the Gateway Triad, one of the most secretive and ruthless criminal organizations in Seattle. None can say that he didn't deserve it.<br><br>While still young he was initiated into the Bamboo Union for his weapon-smuggling from mainland China. He realized early that to become big and powerful in an organization like a triad one must be strong and merciless as well as quick and risktaking. Through the dangerous operation he ran from the mainland he became known as a reliable source for all things deadly, be it blades, poisons or firearms. Once he was captured and tortured by the communists, resulting in the loss of his left middle finger, but through wits and a talent for escape artistry he managed to kill his captors and escape back to Taiwan. Even so he kept the operation going until he later left the island for America.<br><br>He had only just turned 21 when he was promoted to be advisor to the Mountain Master of the whole Bamboo Union, the infamous Chen Chi-li, and from there he grew considerably in power. He helped form the ties to the Kuomintang Nationalist Party and forming the triad's political support of the party through illegal means and financial feeding. He accompanied Chen Chi-li to California in 1984 and assisted him in the preparations to murder Henry Liu who had angered the Kuomintang with anti-nationalist writings in the USA. When Chen returned to Taiwan Kwan remained in California to try and clean up the traces. As Chen were put on trial in Taiwan he decided to remain permanently however and quickly took control of the Bamboo Union based in California, just a handful of men and their associates.<br><br>Through ruthless tactics and an alliance with the Baja California Cartels, Kwan wrestled control from the other triads through a bloody and violent gang war throughout the 90's. While still affiliated with the Bamboo Union, they recognized Kwan's sovergnity and in the early 2000's he united the California triads under the Gateway, the secret head of the conglomerate. Following 9/11 he began smuggling weapons across the border to Mexico, answering an enormous demand that followed when most crime organizations wouldn't dare smuggle any weapons because of heightened security. In turn he recieved a steady flow of drugs to distribute in California.<br><br>His activities had drawn the ire of the mainland Chinese triads and a coalition of Italian and Ukrainian criminal elements finally succeeded in wrestling California out of Kwan's hands, not without a frivolous flow of Chinese weaponry. He was apprehended by the police on charges not his own, but constructed by his enemies. He only barely avoided being sent back to Taiwan for sentencing. Luckily huge amount of money buys great lawyers and the loyalty of any judge and jury. Seeing no point in pursuing further war in California he moved, taking up place in Seattle. Once more he was successful in taking full control of the city, down to its very roots. While he himself have nothing to do with the crimes in the city, his eyes see all and his words direct likewise. Through thugs, pawns and contacts with the Bamboo Union in Vancouver, he now controls an empire twice as strong as the one he had in California.<br><br>While cars and racing had always been an interest of his he never even considered doing it himself. So when the illegal street racing began in the late 00's he instead began sponsoring prominent racers and crews. While it is mostly a hobby of his, the cars and drugs that these crews goes through isn't and he would be damned if he let anyone screw around his playground all too much. As such many an arrogant crew have found themselves losing more than a race when they have crossed interests with Mr Kwan.<br><br><strong>Physical Description:</strong> Quite tall for an asian with his 6'1", he still feels the need to wear shoes with enhanced soles. Not as much insecurity as he likes being taller than most. Always wear some sort of formal business suit when outside his compound, but in privacy he wears more traditional clothing. Missing his left middle finger.<br><br><strong>Extra Info:</strong> Married with two children. While he doesn't desire his wife sexually, they are on good terms and keep up the facade. Highly proficient in a large number of different weapons. Strangely enough he has never had a drivers licence at all.</span>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i50.tinypic.com/xang9.jpg)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><br><strong>Name</strong>: Piper Anne Coriander Adams "Cori"<br><strong>Age</strong>: 27<br><strong>Gender</strong>: Female<br><strong>Orientation</strong>: Lesbian <br><strong>Position in Club</strong>: Co-leader / Car-thief<br><strong>Speciality</strong>: Being very very sneaky. She's smart, quick on her feet, and she also thinks-on-her-feet. But Cori has a lot of experience with thievery, and over seven years as a streetwise car-thief<br><strong>Physical Description</strong>: 5'4", 113 lbs. Natural, sunny blonde hair that is just as white-yellow on her eyebrows and, indeed, everywhere else if she lets it grow. Wickedly bright hazel Eyes. Cori is built like a child, in all senses of the word aside from her blooming hips. She is short, petite, visually fragile (abnormally tough though), wiry, and gifted with small breasts. She has lip piercings, an occasional belly-button piece, as well as three studs and/or loops in each ear. Cori has a distinct tattoo on her stomach, one large tattoo on her back. Apply all of this information to every photo, since none of them will be exactly accurate.<br></span><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Tattoos</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br>MOST RECENT PIECE - Nineteen months ago=outline Fifteen months ago=colour<br>ignore tattoo on thigh, body type is rather accurate though.<br>(http://i50.tinypic.com/15pio14.jpg)<br><br>OLD PIECE - received when Cori was Nineteen, drank Vodka for the first time that night, other hard alcohol had been consumed before though.<br>(http://i47.tinypic.com/2e0me55.jpg)</div></div><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><br><strong>Personality</strong>: Cori is sharp, fast, rude, and pretty much, always right about everything. She doesn't talk about shit that she doesn't care about, and she doesn't talk much about her criminal activity either. But she spends most of her time with people that know what she has done, and what she is capable of doing, so she's not shy about it. She just likes to talk about more neutral things, like fucking, food, the reliability of various cars, music, vodka (not surprisingly), and the shape of woman.<br><br>Her crudeness has depth, she can disgust a woman as well as any man, but she can flip on the charm and turn into a mother at any time. She gets along with men and women, but she finds herself more easily herself with girls. She likes babying people, and she has a significant fault in her character when it comes to Lust. She has no off button, and she's constantly on the hunt for another straight-little-bitty to bite and turn over to the dark side. Her rudeness has never been misunderstood as apathy. A psychologist would say that she is a case-line rebel with severe father issues, and no ability to trust another human. That is pretty much accurate. It makes for a strong person though, her confidence is unbreakable. She is a brave little soul, and when real trouble comes around, she's one of the first to act. She can take a beating, and she defends her honour as if she were a god-damned samurai.<br><br>Cori's Coupe De Ville is her favorite fucking car, she owns 'about' seven cars (having stealing them all the time, it's become a bit of an obsession) but this is the car that she drives, it's suped up, it's faster, lighter, and more prepared to race than most other Cadillacs on the road. (picture below in spoiler)<br><br><strong>History</strong>: Several of Cori's early memories take place inside of her dad's two separate Cadillacs. she always grew up around cars, but only Cadillacs and a couple heavy bodied Chevrolets from way back in America's history. Her father's prized car was a Biscayne from 1966. He was a wealthy man, but his children didn't receive much of that money. His cars did. Cori was born in the greater Seattle Area, and grew up closer to Tacoma than the great harbour. But, as soon as she was old enough, she high-tailed it to the City, and has never turned back. <br><br>Having been a rebel for as long as Cori can remember, rules simply don't exist to her, and she's broken them time and time again, whether the rule was issued by the law, her father, the school, or even her own mind, This young women delights in the ability to transform and bend the world around her. She started to steal every day when she was still in High-school. Using whatever distraction technique that was available to her, she could lift grocery stores, gas stations, the school lunch register, her classmates' cars, even the post office on one lucky account. || She's discreet, and very manly in her social behaviour. Her tight little hot rod body tends to make things happen. And, her girlish good looks is the very device that started her ,now, main career: stealing cars.<br><br>It happened when she was twenty years old.<br><br>A horny middle-aged man in the middle of a mid-life crisis picked her up at a dance club. She liked his car, it happened to be a Cadillac, and it was the only reason she trusted this man in any way. The question hanged in her mind if she would have had sex with him that night or night. She was young, drunk, and admittedly under this (rather handsome) man's spell. However, she was too disarming, and he trusted her alone with the engine running as he ran up to his apartment for his things. They were going to stay at her house, (he had just been through a divorce, and his ex hadn't moved out yet. It was December, he didn't want her to wait in a cold car. It only took her eleven seconds to change her mind and steal it. She didn't even know where to take it, it didn't matter. The excitement was so white hot, she became addicted fast.<br><br>In the next year, she was hired by four different small time chop-shops. by the time she was twenty-five, the Triads were calling her two or three times a month. Now? She can barely keep up with the demand.<br><br>Her family life was hard. Her older brothers were distinctly more 'fair-minded' than she was, and her father appeared to hate the shit out of her. He was catholic, and his wife's faith was wavering. The demon child of Piper/Cori/Anne/Coriander was all that she needed to leave her father. they never officially divorced, and they never even lived in separate houses. Cori's father had learned that she was a lesbian, and he could never deal with it, so after one physical altercation over it, the fight had happened, and there was no reason for it. Everyone was guilty. Cori was fifteen, he kicked her ass. Everything was a sacred cow, fucking dinner was a nightmare, they stopped eating it at the table like a regular Catholic family. Cori and her Father spoke six times after that day. Three times about the weather, one time about her coupe de ville, and twice about her skinned knee. She had never had a skinned knee, not since she was eight years old. About the actual fight, only her mother had witnessed it, and everyone in the family was a good enough sport to forget that it had happened. Cori and her mom became close afterwards, and her dad was strictly there to grobble at night and work during the day. In to his retirement days now, he never stopped working (he owned a business that designed riding lawnmowers).<br><br>Cori moved into Seattle with Seven grand that her father coughed up, omitting to his sins by shovelling cash into his horribly undisciplined daughter's pockets.<br><br>It worked though. Cori was a gifted criminal, and she made a small fortune. The source of her father's chagrin, he knew nothing about where her money had come from. And he came to believe that he had actually raised a prostitute. It was a classic example of imagining the worst when the truth isn't available.<br><br>Only a few years ago, Cori's father rolled one of his Cadillacs, and died in the accident. Needless to say, it haunts her. She pays for her families bills now, and still, none of them know how.<br><br>&nbsp;</span> </div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> "Two Fires" The Car</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br>First things first, this car is unapproved by the GMs, but its not a super car, just super unique.

				<div align="center"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">Allison Leclerc aka Allison Saurer</span></div><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/eDJMl.jpg)</div><br><strong>Age:</strong> 19<br><br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><br><strong>Orientation:</strong> Bisexual, hasn't fully realized it yet<br><br><strong>Position in Club:</strong> The Brains / Driver<br><br><strong>Specialty:</strong> Racing is Allison's main passion, and through a mixture of racing lessons as well as both track and street experience, she's become very proficient.<br><br><strong>Physical Description:</strong> Standing at 5'9" and weighing 115 pounds, Allison has a markedly svelte physique. Her eyes are an extremely pale blue, seemingly grey at times, and her natural hair color is dark brown although she dyes it black pretty often. She usually dresses in a style that one could qualify as 'street chic', fusing the grungy with the glamorous.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Having spent a lot of time in both rich and poor areas while growing up, Allison has grown into a pretty well-rounded individual. She's got a sharp mind and tends to think things through before acting, though she's still just as prone to making an emotionally influenced decision in the heat of a moment as anyone else. She's not exactly the most extroverted person, often preferring to spend time alone with a book as opposed to going out clubbing or partying, but she's also quite personable and gets along well with most people. Time has allowed Allison to outgrow most of her past insecurities, but she hasn't forgotten those who helped her achieve that growth, making her eternally grateful and unconditionally loyal towards them. It breaks her heart that she has to lie to her friends about her background, but she's been hiding the truth from them for so long that she's too afraid of how they would react to come clean.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Born into a very wealthy family, Allison had the privileged childhood that one would expect. Private school, extravagant vacations during summer, traveling around by limousine - the works. Despite all that, however, life wasn't perfect and she was far from being the happiest child in the world. At school, where everyone came from families just as rich or even richer than her own, she was nothing but a skinny, flat chested shy girl that the popular kids picked on mercilessly. Allison was a lot meeker back then as well, too afraid of the potential repercussions to stand up for herself or to seek help.<br><br>Her love for racing began blooming when she was ten, piloting a go-kart during a birthday party that one of her few friends had invited her to. While she was behind the wheel, for the first time Allison felt like she was the one in control of her own destiny, the rest of her problems suddenly melting away and being replaced by complete exhilaration. She wasn't particularly good at first, but after only a few laps she'd begun to get the hand of it, and by the end of the day she'd even managed to come in first place a couple of times.<br><br>After that, Allison begged and pleaded with her parents to let her get karting lessons, which came as quite a shock since she'd never really shown interest in any tomboyish activities before. Luckily for her, they were quite understanding and they'd noticed that she was unhappy even though she would never tell them why, so they let her have her wish, assuming that she would simply grow out of it. That never happened, though, and Allison eventually transitioned into open wheel racing classes with dreams of one day becoming good enough to join the ranks of a Formula 1 team. <br><br>Around the time that she was thirteen, Allison also became interested in the underground street racing scene thanks to some of the other kids in her racing class talking about it. It seemed so foreign and exotic, racing at night for money while people placed bets on the winners, definitely different than sanctioned racing. One night, Allison dressed herself up in an attempt to look older and sneaked out of the house to go see one of these races for herself, completely unprepared for the rough and tumble type of neighborhood that these events were generally held in.<br><br>She only had vague information about the designated meeting place, so she just took a cab to that general area and figured that she could figure it out herself from there. Unfortunately, before Allison could find the correct spot, a small group of thugs had noticed her, waiting until she was walking down a street alone before making their move. Feeling that something was wrong once she'd glanced over her shoulder and caught a glimpse of them, Allison started to walk faster in an attempt to distance herself, but the high heels that she wasn't particularly accustomed to wearing made it impossible. One of them grabbed her by the arm from behind, and a strong hand covered her mouth before she could scream. She struggled in vain as they overpowered her and began to drag her away, presumably to a more secluded spot where they'd be able to have their way with her, but froze when a pair of headlights blinded them.<br><br>The screeching of brakes rang in Allison's ears as a car abruptly came to a halt no more than a few feet away, prompting the thug that had been restraining her to shove her down to the ground brusquely before he and his buddies tucked tail and ran off into the darkness, unwilling to deal with the intimidating tattooed guy that stepped out of the car to meet them. Taras consoled her while she sobbed uncontrollably, until she finally calmed down enough to briefly explain what had happened. He offered to take her to the race himself, and ever since then Allison had searched him out whenever she attended the events whether he wanted her to or not, having grown hopelessly infatuated with him. It wasn't much of a surprise, really, considering that Taras had been the first person to ever stand up for her.<br><br>She got to know his other friends through him, including the members of the 'crew', but never told them that she was actually a spoiled rich kid sneaking away from home or that she knew how to drive. Allison hung out with them whenever she could for the next few years, until finally having to part ways with them four years later when she got the opportunity to Malaysia and race in Formula 3. It wasn't easy to do, but she'd become a lot more independent by then thanks to her friends, so she made the difficult decision to leave what was familiar to her behind in the hopes of gaining more experience and getting scouted by an F1 team. During the year that she spent racing in Asia, Allison got better and better, and she felt like her breakthrough was at hand right before receiving a phone call that made her world implode.<br><br>She couldn't even believe it when her uncle told her that her parents had been gunned down while leaving a restaurant, needing several minutes for the information to actually sink in. Supposedly it had been something drug or gang related, but the police didn't know much beyond that, which didn't really make any sense to Allison since she didn't understand what her parents could possibly have to do with either of those things. She flew back home for the funeral and the reading of the will only to find out that her family's bank account had been completely depleted and that even their house had been seized. All she had left was her personal account with around twenty thousand dollars in it and her car, which she had to go pick up at an impounding lot.<br><br>Stunned and depressed, Allison fell into a self destructive spiral, starting with alcohol and moving on to drugs after that, supporting her habit by winning street races here and there. With the reckless way that she was driving, not even being fully sober most of the time, it was a miracle that she didn't kill herself by the time that she ran into her old friends. They took her under their wings again, only this time she also joined in on the business side of things, proving herself more than capable of racing as well as stealing cars. Little did she or any of them know that her real last name was liable of putting them all in mortal danger if the local triads ever stumbled upon her true identity.<br><br><strong>Extra Info:</strong> Unbeknown to her, Allison's father was a fairly important player in the Seattle drug game, helping the triads launder large amounts of money through his business in exchange for a sizable cut. Recently, he'd come under investigation by the feds and had arranged a meeting with them when it became obvious that they were about to unravel his scheme, hoping to sell out his associates in exchange for his own immunity. He and his wife were murdered before he could talk, however, and Allison was only spared because she was away in Asia at the time. She's always told the crew that her name was Allison Saurer so that they didn't find out who she was, and she's assumed that identity full time since rejoining with them.<br><br>She drives a heavily modded Porsche 911 GT2.<br><br><div align="center">(http://i.imgur.com/T80SW.jpg)</div>

Gifted with looks and a silver tongue he's usually able to use both to talk his way out of a situation...or into one depending on the circumstance. <br><br><strong>History</strong>: Born and raised in New York City, Ryan comes from a long line of police officers and was groomed by his family to become another great cop in the Mercer family history however becoming a police officer was far from Ryan’s mind in his youth.<br><br>Ryan always had a love of cars and often spent his weekends at his uncle’s garage fixing them up. When he was 15 he attended a local street race and immediately fell in love with the culture and attended as many as he could, eventually participating in them when he could drive.<br><br>However one night shortly after his 18th Birthday, after having won a race Ryan was busted and hauled away to the local precinct. Ryan was given an ultimatum by his parents and the Captain, either join the academy, become a cop and have the incident buried as a warning or go to jail…it was a simple choice for Ryan.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>His father had trained him as he was growing up in skills to hone his memory, how to tell when someone was lying and a few other techniques which gave him a slight advantage when he enrolled at the academy. He graduated in the top ten of his class and excelled at pursuit driving, with his trainers often describing Ryan as “a natural behind the wheel.” <br><br>Joining the NYPD Ryan realised that he did actually enjoy being a cop and proved that he was just as good as cop as the rest of his family. When he was 22, Ryan was assigned to an undercover unit tasked with infiltrating a New York street racing gang suspected of branching out into the drug trade and to gather evidence to take them down. It took two years for Ryan to work his way up in the gang and gather the evidence he needed before handing the information off to his superiors, the evidence he gathered was enough to put the gang behind bars and shut down their operation for good. After that case Ryan spent the next two years on various undercover assignments during which time he took down a smuggling ring, foiled series of bank robberies and brought down one of the largest gangs in Brooklyn.<br><br>His success on undercover assignments drew the attention of the FBI who offered him a job as a field agent, which he accepted. A few months after he transferred he was sent to Seattle and tasked with bringing down the local Triads, who have risen in the Seattle underworld and involved in pretty much every criminal activity you could think of. <br><br>The FBI learned that one of the local street racing gangs were the go to crew for the Triads when it came to stealing the cars they needed and given Ryan’s skill behind the wheel it was decided that he would go undercover and infiltrate the crew in order to bring the triads down.<br><br>With the FBI running a background check on the crew Ryan decided that trying to persuade Piper “Cori” Adams, the crew's co-leader would probably be easier to persuade than Taras, the other co-leader. It took several weeks of a combination of racing, his charming personality and enough shots of vodka to probably cause some liver damage later in his life, but she eventually brought him into the crew so as far as Ryan was concerned it was worth it, however despite being part of the crew for over a month now Ryan is still very much the new guy and has his work cut out for him.<br><br>Ryan's car of choice is a black 2006 Mercedes SLR McLaren.<br><br><br><strong>Physical Description </strong>: 6’3 with spiky blonde hair, brown eyes with a slim but athletic build. He prefers to wear a suit jacket, t-shirt and jeans.<br><br><strong>Extra Info</strong>:Despite his jovial personality Ryan does come from a family of cops and as such is a dedicated, by-the-book officer who firmly believes in the law and that nobody is above it, although given the nature of his job as an undercover cop, he is willing to bend...or break it when he has too. </div><br><div align="center">(http://imageshack.us/a/img402/8306/2165628127.jpg)</div><br><br>

				<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">Natalie Strachan</span></strong></div><hr><br><div class="floatright">(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x111/Lammy519/Models/Girl20/072d9d8b.jpg)(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x111/Lammy519/Models/Girl20/23456gfd.jpg)(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x111/Lammy519/Models/Girl20/324jhmbfvdcsx.jpg)</div><strong>Age</strong>: 23<br><strong>Gender</strong>: Female<br><strong>Orientation</strong>: Heterosexual (as far as experiences go)<br><strong>Position in Club</strong>: Hacker Extraordinaire<br><strong>Specialty</strong>: Computer and security systems, chewing gum aficionado, thrill seeker<br><strong>Physical Description</strong>: 5'4", 118 lbs. Long blond hair. Golden brown eyes. Nostril, and navel piercings, with her right ear adorned in a number of studs.<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>: Natalie is a good girl in a bad world. She'd never hurt a fly, but has no problem at all enabling the members of her crew to do so. Given her line of work, she tends to miss out on social cues and the like, being far more comfortable out on the field or hanging out alone in her 'office'. She is very aware that she is a fairly attractive young woman, but people in her past have spoiled her sense of just how to use it to make any sort of personal gains. Having her impression of humanity be spoiled by a select few, Natalie is often times very wary of strangers and is not easily taken advantage of. Those in her good books, however, know just how much of a sweetheart she is and are often times at the receiving end of her compassion. <br><br><strong>History</strong>: Life was rather easy for Natalie up until high school. It remained rather pedestrian in Seattle until she began to come into her own. Her parents were incredibly accommodating and laid back, leaving the young woman to make her mistakes and explore her options whenever they came by (even now she keeps regular contact with them, though, the exact specifics are kept under a carefully constructed veil). Her father's occupation as a software engineer at an indie application company rubbed off on her, making the world of computers and technology an easy one to fall in love with.<br><br>Not quite reclusive, Natalie spent a lot of her time at home, learning the tricks and trade of computing well enough to take it a step further in college. That's when things began to take a turn for her; where the world opened up and said that she was wasting her time with it all. She was picked up by a security company to work as a network specialist during her second year in college. It was meant to only be a summer job, but a solid salary at the age of 19 would appeal to anyone. Despite only being hired on for the benefit of her pigheaded boss, Natalie picked it all up fairly quickly, only to leave a year or so later when the aforementioned creeper took his lust to the next step.<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x111/Lammy519/Objects/35467uyjhng.jpg)</div>Out of a job, Natalie went into a bit of a funk and was trying to spend her way out of it. She wasted a lot of nights out on the town with the few friends she retained from high school and college, in turn meeting a number of people. One of them was Cori Adams, a girl with a terribly contagious love for fast cars and racing them. Though neither knew why she did, Cori went on to explain to Natalie exactly what she did for a living and just how much easier it would be to do it with someone that could look out for them. Being 'funemployed', the decision to help out the crew was an easy one.<br><br>Over the next few years, Natalie became an integral part of the crew as a sort of technological expert - R&amp;D for semi-pro criminals. It became a thrill to have her work inevitably lead to a hot car roll up into the garage, not to mention the pay that followed. She had little love for racing, so she rarely dealt with the cars that her crew constantly tinkered with, instead focusing more on designing interesting and creative ways to break into a parking garage, or hijack the system of a particularly sophisticated vehicle.<br><br><strong>Extra Info</strong>: Natalie took to motorcycles during her time spent as a unemployed 20-something. It later turned out that it was rather useful in her new role as a computer and security whiz amongst the crew of car racers and thieves. Her approach to the job was more hands on, taking any opportunity she could to scout the target out personally for anything that she could use to her advantage. Who ever suspects the young woman in fitted biker gear? Especially when she takes off her helmet in that oh-so-seductive way, right? <br><br>It's a wonder that Natalie still managed to find time to be a girl despite the demands of her job. She does well to take care of herself and her wardrobe, being sure to keep up with any trends. Often when stuck in her office, the air is always filled with music, her mouth always chomping on gum. Old habits die hard.

				<div align="center"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><em>Adriano Guillermo</em></span></span></div><hr><br><div class="floatright">(https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTDx5aF-CrEImja-ATW2GktOFHjgwZjkP_QIoXF3IfpjD9xXnXz)</div><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><strong>Age</strong>: 23<br><strong>Gender</strong>: Male<br><strong>Orientation</strong>: Heterosexual<br><strong>Position in Club</strong>: Black Market Liaison/Driver<br><br><strong>Specialty</strong>: Information. His talent, (naturally, given his position) is dealing with the black market, gangs, and the mafia. This networking also gives him an edge when it comes to knowing things. What parts to buy, where to buy them, what jobs to take, who to ask. Also, living with gangs. Years of living with them have given him the expertise on how to deal with gangs, and survive through it. He usually carries a few guns and knives on him, as well.<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>: Dark and moody, though he values his 'honor', though it's different than what most people would call honor. His first priority is to the family. Given his specialty, he tries to make himself always have an answer to any questions that could ever come up. He's not a generous smiler, though he is an appreciative person, and always repays his debts. Despite his usually sullen or cynic mood, he can still be counted as a valuable friend, to those that he lets call him that. Part of his dark mood stems from his frequent dealings with gangs, and the abrupt ending to his childhood.<br><br><strong>History</strong>: His father was the leader of a full blown mafia ring in Italy and had all the riches and perks that came with such a position. He grew up with a spoiled childhood, running around a mansion, getting whatever he wanted, ordering around his father's henchmen. His mother died when he was born, so there was no one to stop him and he was spoiled utterly by his father. As his father's only child, his father did not hesitate to give him anything, he got toys, front row seats to soccer games, you name it.<br><br>As he grew up, he started learning his father's business. He learned the comings and goings of his father's henchmen, listened in on secret meetings, and later began openly sitting in on meetings. Even at the young age of eleven, Adriano knew most of the happenings of the gang, and his father knew this. Of course, he was being primed to take over his father's position. He was taking self-defense, and was learning how to shoot a gun. And he was indulging in his new hobby, which happened to be cars. He loved the Ferrari his father owned especially, it was a rare classic, and he adored it, though he wasn't allowed to touch it. He satisfied himself by using his father's other luxury cars.<br><br>Of course, this all changed when another gang member came in and started gunning for his father's life. He claimed that his father had wronged him, yet his father tried to explain to the man that it was just a misunderstanding, and it wasn't something he had done. Adriano himself was fuzzy of the details. However, it ended up being that he found himself almost killed several times. He knew that if he died, no one would let a thirteen year old take his position, and they would fight for his position instead, so he made arrangements for his son to be sent to America in the event he died. He also put a decent sum of money in a bank account for him. Sadly, this turned out to be necessary, and his plotting gang members had ended up Adriano's father.<br><br>One escape plan later, so it was that Adriano found himself on the streets in the USA, forced to live on his own. He had the money, but he had to find a living, and make sure he stayed alive. It turned out that all he really knew how to do well was steal and deal with gangs. He could've found another job, but it would've been inevitably boring. So he stole cars, and began flirting with various gangs. He never directly affiliated himself with any gang, but spent a while selling various parts and gadgets and sometimes even entire vehicles or shipments in trucks to gangs, as long as the price was right.<br><br>One night, when he was scoping out a car to steal, he noticed another man come in and attempt practically the same maneuver he himself was going to do. Adriano wasn't sure what to do, but for some reason he felt safe approaching the man. Adriano had experience reading people from his years, and something about this man told Adriano that they could be allies. True enough, Taras and Adriano became friends, if either of them would ever use that word explicitly, and Adriano joined the crew. It felt like a second family to him, and it was the only thing he had been lacking here. Money had never been a problem since he started stealing. But the crew felt good, it made him less lonely.<br><br>He acted as a liaison for the crew, going between the various gangs and the crew. The Triads were on the rise, though, and they were becoming more and more aggressive. Having lived in Italy, he had made a few trips to Asia on business with his father, so he knew what he was dealing with better than most others, but they were still growing and unpredictable. Adriano lived life on the edge, though, and the danger made him love the job all the more. Another reason he liked their kind of racing.<br><br><strong>Physical Description</strong>: 6'2, brown hair with some stubble, and green eyes. A moderately built body, enough to hold his own in a meeting for a black market dealing, and intimidate others in a dealing when necessary. His sullen expression can also add to the intimidation factor, though he's actually quite a friendly person to those who get to know him.<br><br><strong>Extra Info</strong>: He loves those new, shiny cars that are oh-so slick. However, nowadays, he gets paranoid and simply takes whatever car he finds interesting. He's always had a special thing for Ferraris though, just like his father.<br><br></span></div>

But once she gets behind the wheel of a car, you better watch yourself. She has an attitude to match her looks. Once she gets to know someone, she's very friendly.<br><br><strong>History:</strong> Misaki was born to a Japanese mother and a Chinese father. At a very young age, she displayed a keen interest in cars of all sorts. Both of her parents were very wealthy, but Misaki never had anything handed to her.

Hidden talent for singing and classic piano<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Cool, calm, collected, Yumi doesn't seem to be shaken by much anything. She also doesn't seem to show much emotion. Though that may be because of her job. After all how can a person take lives and still alright with what they did if they didn't cut of the emotions that came with it. She is strong will and determined and driven, Yumi pushed herself through her studies. She is cunning, intelligent, her mind like that of a chess player always thinking ten moves ahead. Though there is a side of her no one see's. The side that is soft and feminine, the musician and artist. The side she never lets show as it would make her seem weak. And as the Triad's hit man she could never seem weak. That weakness would only get her killed in the end.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>History:</strong><br>Yumi was born into the family, though her father just before she was born tried to leave. His disgrace of turning away from the triad wasn't forgiven. They stripped him of everything he owned, disgraced his wife and shunned them. Forcing them to live as if they were barely surviving. They lived in a small one room apartment above their shop. Her mother and father opening a small Raman shop they did their best with what little life was willing to give them. What she didn't know was that the Traid still gave her father a hard time. His disgrace seemed to be more than simply leaving, though she never did get the whole story. <br><br>When she was six her home was attacked, men came in the night. They burned the small home and shop, but only after they came in striking down her father before her eyes. The scared girl hid as he mother tried to fight the men off. They took her; one by one they raped her body. At one point Yumi ran and stabbed one of the men in the back, it was in fact the first time she would kill. Smacked away her small body hit the wall behind her and she was knocked unconscious. The only thing that saved her was her mother. Somehow she got the energy to stand and pull her daughter from the fire. She walked, battered and bruised carrying the blood covered child to what was once their home. Collapsing at the door of her father, her only words were a plea to help them...a plea to safe her daughter. <br><br>Taken in but still disgraced her mother was taken somewhere. As far Yumi know she is still alive, though she is only a shadow of the woman she used to be. Yumi was forced to be strong; the family looked down at her. But she didn't care, even at such a small age she refused to be weak anymore. She ignored the insults from the other children. And threw herself into her studies, gain high marks in all her classes. But still the fact that she had already killed wasn't ignored. Yumi was taken in and trained to be more than simply a daughter of the Triad. She was raised to be their killer, taught that she had protection with them. If her family hadn't left they wouldn't be dead now. Their ideals and demands were ground into her. She would train till her body ached and her hands bled only to do it again the next day. <br><br>And now at 25 she has earned the name of Dragon's Talon. Her name no longer a disgrace to them she is no longer made fun off or thought of as weak. Today she lives in a large condo that overlooks the city. She doesn't want for anything being well paid for what she does.<br><br><strong>Physical Description: </strong><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">More Mayumi Takahashi</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://wallpapers.free-review.net/r?12)<br>(http://desmondwallace.freeblog.hu/files/2010/08/Kelly%20Hu%2001.jpg)<br>(http://images.wikia.com/xmenmovies/images/e/ec/Kelly_Hu.jpg)<br>(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vc5Yqa6Te0Q/S9Z3druYQxI/AAAAAAAAD7A/OrFDWt57wUQ/s1600/kelly+hu14s-786723.jpg)<br>(http://wallpapers.free-review.net/wallpapers/75/Kelly_Hu.jpg)<br>(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120409100746/vampirediaries/images/f/f2/Kelly-hu.jpg)<br></div></div><div align="center">(http://trashcinemacollective.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/jason-kelly-hu-e1280974177743.jpg?w=655)<br>Height: 5' 6" (168 cm)<br>Measurements: 30-25-35B<br>127 lbs. <br>Well toned and sculpted frame from years of training, her long legs one of her best assets of so she things.

(http://www.inkonthis.com/uploads/files/s/md/sexy+tattoo_dse7ape.jpg)<br><strong>Physical Description:</strong> Meili stands at around 5'5" but always wear's heals to make her appear that much taller; they could add an extra 2 - 5 inches to her height. Her legs appear to go on forever and the heels only help the illusion. She weighs around 112lbs with a slender, toned figure that women would drool over; men too, though occasionally for different reason's. Her hair is a very dark chestnut colour, the kind that for some reason only Asians possess, and reaches to the middle of her back in natural, gentle waves. Her eyes are a dark chocolate and are large and almond shaped; again, hereditary to Asian's. Covering her back is a tattoo (http://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http://www.inkonthis.com/uploads/files/s/md/sexy%2Btattoo_dse7ape.jpg&amp;ei=70MlUak0sJXRBaiygJgP&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=unauthorizedredirect&amp;ct=targetlink&amp;ust=1361398519009388&amp;usg=AFQjCNHV5J7ebV_BPgZKbTlKnmhahCMiIw) that she has had for years, since joining the Triad's. It's a large, beautiful peacock bird and contains the Chinese symbols for 'Dragon's Pride'. The tattoo is extremely colourful and large, extending down one buttock to allow for the enormity of the birds beautiful tail feathers. It also extends slightly onto her shoulders, though cannot be seen if she is looked at from the front.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Meili, or Mei for short, isn't the sort of person you would approach in the street to ask something trivial; she can be quite intimidating, although she doesn't necessarily mean to be. She is quite stone-faced and can be extremely focused when lost in thought or when she has something to do. In reality, she is as kind as you'll allow her to be, though not for good reason; she'll always find a way to get something from you, and in return, you can have something from her. (Whether it would be one of her girls, or herself, that is completely down to you.) Some say she can finish a man off with just her words, of course, you'd have to be very special to find that out first hand. Everything she says always has a double meaning and she isn't afraid to toy with that particular skill. Mei does enjoy a thrill and if you can be the one to give her the danger and attention she seeks, she'll stick to you until she no longer believes you capable of giving her what she wants. She very much enjoys any attention given to her. Meili can be quite witty at times and often have a sharp tongue, but in all honest she simply wants to find something that can satisfy her continuously and wholeheartedly. <br><br><strong>History:</strong> Early memories consist of a buzzing family home; loving parents, adored children, patient pets. One of her fondest memories was of her father pushing in on the swing he'd constructed, with his children's help of course, in the green, flower filled backyard. She loved the way his hands felt on her lower back as he pushed her gently into the air, her small fingers grasping the strong rope either side of her, her bum planted firmly onto the painted plank of wood beneath her and the air flowing through her hair like her mother's fingers often did. It felt like peace to her. Meili wasn't one for looking back on memories, but as a child she simply couldn't help herself; it was what she needed to keep her sane. The feel of his fingers against her clothed skin felt so right then, felt so innocent, but after her father laid her bare for the first night, she couldn't look at his touches the same way again. Things started to feel wrong but he only pushed her further; his hands would creep over her shoulders as he leaned down to kiss the back of her head, they would creep into the top of her vest and fondle her in ways a child should not be fondled. No matter how much she told her truth, he would not back down. Things continued, spiralling downhill into an abyss that seemed forever endless; she would never escape his embrace that suffocated her, she would never again be free.<br><br>After years of abuse, Meili retreated into herself, even began telling herself that what he was doing to her was good; he said so, after all. He was transforming her into the 'perfect woman' and it made him love her even more. She wanted him to love her, she wanted his attention. Around the age of twelve, Mei began flaunting herself at him, wanting him and their disgusting affair to continue. Until one day, he was taken away from her and she was set free of his evil grasp. The man had collapsed at work and was rushed to the hospital of which by then it was too late; a heart attack apparently. Meili was distraught at first, she simply didn't know where to turn or what to do with herself. All she'd ever known was his love and her mother despised her for the attention she'd received from him over his own wife. The woman cast her out at the age of thirteen, by which time; Mei knew what she had to do.<br><br>The girl slept in the streets for what seemed like years until she was finally picked up by a man in his late forties. He fed her, housed her, and kept her safe and dry. And then he paid her. Once she'd slept with him for the first time, he started to train her, showing her things she'd not imagined she could do; crude, lewd things. Meili continued her 'training' and once she was around sixteen, he began 'letting' her out to friends. Then family members. Then strangers. Then there was more than one person at a time. Women came into the equation somewhere down the line, though she could not tell you when exactly. She continued doing whatever he asked of her, whoever he brought to her, and he began giving her a small fraction of the money he took. The first thing she did was go downtown and buy herself a chocolate bar; something that was an extreme luxury to her. When she returned and showed the man her prize, he backhanded her across the face and told her she was forbidden to eat it as it would get her 'fat' and that fat wouldn't 'sell'. It wasn't the last time she'd earned a smack from him then on. Around the age of nineteen, the man she was living with died from a stabbing; he was mugged on his way downtown. He had left her the apartment in his will for her to continue his ‘business’, but she sold the crummy place and moved on as quickly as she could. Again, she was homeless. The difference was that this time, she had a bit of cash. <br><br>Meili was downtown the first time she saw her first modified car. It was a beautiful black, sleek thing and at the time she couldn't put a make to the bodywork; it looked like it had had a lot of work done to its exterior. She couldn't even imagine what it looked like inside. After doing some digging, she found out it was heading for a small street racing event just outside the main town and she simply couldn't resist. She hiked out of town after a job and watched the race; everything was so refreshing and exciting and new. It was as if she were a mere child again, riding her beautiful new garden swing. That's when she decided she wanted to do something else; she wanted to race. She wanted to own a car and drive a car and do whatever else you could do with that car! It was at the very same race that someone approached her by her name, which she hadn't told anyone. They said that their boss wanted to speak with her and that she needed to go with them immediately, which, of course, she did. Mei was loaded into a polished, silver car with a clean leather interior and driven to someplace she did not recognize; a large building that gave off a certain aura that Mei could not quite place her finger upon. She was guided inside and taken straight to a large, open room with a Chinese man sitting behind a desk. He said that her father was involved with them and that he owed the 'Chinese Triad' a lot of money and time. She was a little confused at first, but quickly countered with a proposal that was universally laughed at in the beginning; to earn money for them by driving. And so she has worked for them ever since. <br><br><strong>Extra Info:</strong> Meili extremely enjoys spending money as she has never truly had the freedom to do as she pleases with her profits. She likes to buy clothes and shoes the most, though she has been known to have spent more on her car then the whole of her current double walk-in wardrobe full of designer brands. She will accept nothing but the best from herself, her clothing, her car and anyone else around her. <br>Mei owns half of a prostitution business from a small apartment building downtown; her partner is anonymous. It is said she has beauties from all over the world and has been known to take many self-requests to make extra cash.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br><strong><em>× Her baby.
