				<div align="center"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><em>Rosha Kovotulyin</em></span></span></div><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><strong>Age</strong>: 24<br><strong>Gender</strong>: Male<br><strong>Orientation</strong>: Bisexual, with a preference for females. He's not embarrassed of it and wouldn't hesitate to tell someone if they asked, he just doesn't advertise it, and as of yet, no one in the club knows because they don't need to.<br><strong>Position in Club</strong>: Driver/mechanic<br><strong>Specialty</strong>: Rosha is a gifted mechanic and almost as good as a driver, though certainly not the "best" at racing, he definitely holds his own and wins races, and is gradually getting better as he races more. He learned to wrench before he learned to drive. He is also a good fighter, both empty-handed and with a weapon, be it gun or knife.<br><strong>Personality</strong>: Gung-ho, obnoxious and happy-go-lucky, Rosha is a fast-talking joker from right there in San Diego. Loves to drink, loves to talk (and talk, and talk, and talk...), loves to work on cars and loves to drive. Collecting and practicing with various weapons is also a hobby... guns, knives, martial arts weapons, etc. Also enjoys computer games. He's good for useless knowledge and a laugh, as he is an eternal smartass. He's got a laid back and relaxed view on most things, and is only obnoxious comically. He's easy to like and doesn't hold grudges. Basically a really happy guy, hard to embarrass or piss off, and a bit of a lover-boy. He can easily get a girl for sex, but that's not the point of it all, to him, that's only a benefit. Inwardly though, he is a bit of a perv, and very deviant in his sexual tastes, but he'd never let that show or talk about it unless it was brought up by someone else. <br><strong>History</strong>: Rosha was born and raised in San Diego. His father is the son of a Russian immigrant, and his mother was raised in San Diego. He grew up rather unremarkably until he got to be 13, and started collecting knives, and started fighting. He never mixed the two, as he thought using a knife to fight someone who wasn't carrying one was cowardly. <br><br>He got his fair share of ass-kickings, but as he got older and better, he stopped fighting so much. Nobody picked fights with him after he beat the shit out of the biggest bastard in his high school at 17. He'd called him out, said he couldn't do it, and by God he did it.<br><br>When he got his first car from his father at 15 (it was a 1 thousand dollar 1965 mustang, piece of crap that ran and drove.), it was all downhill from there. He started working on it before he got his license. He restored it with his father's help (His father had some mechanical and bodyworking experience)<br><br>His neighbors started coming to him for car repairs as his father and auto shop class every year (whether he actually had the class or not, he spent his free time there) taught him about wrenching, because he would do it for cheap, and usually did a better job than the shops.<br><br>When he did get his license, he started putting the car and himself to the test. It was exhilarating, like nothing else he could ever experience. It was almost as good as sex. It became his addiction. Before long, he was weaving through highway traffic at over 100 miles an hour racing a Camaro, tempting fate, coming within inches of other cars' bumpers as he rocketed down the freeway. He was obsessed with making his car go faster and making himself drive better. It's the only thing he's competitive in, and he strives for perfection. He tinkers with his car constantly, always upgrading or adjusting something. You always know when Rosha rolls up. He's blasting Rammstein (German industrial metal, for those who don't know) and has a loud-ass V8. His mufflers are small glass packs that don't really muffle much.<br><br>He was never really much for drifting, and prefers to race in a (semi) straight line at extremely high speeds.<br><br><strong>Physical Description</strong>: Tall, lean, and lanky, scruffy dark brown hair, hazel eyes. A bit of a swimmers build, but nothing excessive. Wears whatever's comfortable, likes to wear old BDU uniform pants w/ t-shirts and boots, though. Hazel eyes, doesn't shave but every couple of days, so generally has a little bit of scruff under his chin. Half his chest/back and all of his right arm/shoulder is covered in a tribal tattoo.<br>(http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll106/release879/1302018040214.jpg)<br>(http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll106/release879/Tattoo-ideas2.jpg)<br>(http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll106/release879/Finding-the-Best-Back-Tattoo-Designs-with-Tribal-Tattoos-Designs.jpg)<br><strong>Extra Info</strong>:Drives this (This is actually my car that I drive when I'm back home and not in freakin' Iraq...) <br>(http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll106/release879/P6260002.jpg)<br>(http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll106/release879/P6260004.jpg)<br></span></div>

A lot of things can piss her off like asking her to do something and then telling her how to do it when she knows how. She doesn’t like to repeat and likes to mix things up to keep life interesting. On a good note she can be quite the practical joker, very compassionate and generous person.<br><strong>History:</strong> She comes from a mixed heritage. Her mother is black and her father is Colombian. Not only is her father Colombian, but a notorious drug dealer with a well earned fortune. Her mother managed to get away from him before she was old enough to talk and came to the US when she was three. It was a starting over point for her and mother despite the fact that she had an older brother who chose to stay with his father in Colombia. She never saw him again or her father. She enrolled into public school where she excelled in math and science. It was during this time that she had meet an a chick by the name of Clara Tang who introduced her to her brother Chris- who just so happened to be living in the same hood as her. She became good friends with the two, even getting into trouble with Clara a few times.&nbsp; When she reached high school she was taking AP courses during her freshman and had prepared to go to college early. However a guy she had meet introduced her to world of illegal street racing. She loved sports cars and attended every event she could. A guy she met taught her how to pull an engine apart and put it back together and she never stopped learning about cars. Though she prefers old school American muscle&nbsp; to work on she’s never been the type to drive (She didn’t even have a driver’s license).<br><br>She had networked quickly amongst the club, people noting her skill and love of cars and bikes. Her dream is to start her own luxury shop and ever since she got in good with the club that dream was starting to become a reality. Alisa had been hiding her ‘addiction’ to the fast life from her mother up until she graduated from High school with a perfect 4.0. Imagine the look on her mothers face when she said she wanted to go to trade school and work on cars. Her mother was pissed and this started to deteriorate their relationship. Alisa moved out of the house refusing to go to college to be some doctor or a nurse and thanks to her close friendship with Chris he let her crash in the loft just above the garage where she started to work as her legit side hustle. She makes money working on engines, hustling and betting on games until she can save the money she needs to go to vocational school. As for her style, she's very street, but spunky. She's the type of&nbsp; girl that will where her boyfriends clothes, but make it her own. She believes everything has a double side to it whether it be clothes, food or people. She also speaks fluent Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. <br><strong>Physical Description:&nbsp; 5'7 , 130 lbs, no tattoos..(yet), Also you'll never catch her dead in dress unless she lost a bet.<br>Extra Info: </strong>The kind of guys she typical dates are muscle heads who are book smart. She has a thing for guys with long hair, muscles and tattoos. Her favorite sweets are chocolate covered pretzels and she is a health nut despite the fact that she is grease monkey. Lisa is the only chick on the block that would be caught dead with a veggie burger while tuning up a V8 (No, not the drink). Her famous quote is "If it don't need no bedin' don't bend it." SO! She may not be much of a driver but she does have a whip---&gt;</span><div class="floatright">(http://media-cache3.pinterest.com/upload/199917670928804677_BzNbc9bX_b.jpg)</div><div align="center">(http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss192/choco_munchies/Katerina_Graham_Picture.jpg)</div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Style</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt90/tiny0fairy/VampirexTutorials/Katerina%20Graham/010.jpg)<br>(http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt90/tiny0fairy/VampirexTutorials/Katerina%20Graham/024.jpg)<br>(http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt90/tiny0fairy/VampirexTutorials/Katerina%20Graham/058.jpg)<br></div></div>

				<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><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.<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<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 killing them themselves, in the mounting chaos.<br><br>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. He vowed to also know what went on around him, so he joined a gang and became their point man for information. This didn't last long, though. When he heard of the club, though, while traveling, he jumped at the opportunity to join the club. It was then that he met Chris, who had happened to have a run-in with the gang. He knew how good of a friend Chris was, and resolved to join his club. In one stroke, he peacefully separated Chris and the gang, and went apart from the gang to join the club. He convinced the gang that Chris was no longer interested in them, even though he knew Chris's peace was temporary. By this time, though, his allegiances had changed, so that didn't matter.<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><strong>Extra Info</strong>: He's actually not a huge fan of those old muscle cars, but prefers the newest and shiniest and sleekest cars. Of course, being the hotshot car enthusiast he is, he loves all kinds of cars, to some extent.<br><br></span></div>

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;During those early years he frequently got into altercations with Christian - a talkative kid in the neighborhood - who, despite his smaller size, never seemed to back down to Taras. Although they frequently butted heads, they also developed a mutual respect for one another. Their strong competitive friendship eventually began to grow distant when Christian got heavy into dealing drugs. It wasn't so much that Taras was against it or anything, he was just afraid of getting arrested and deported. So he kept his distance during his later teen years, but his crush on Christian's younger sister Claire always kept him in touch. He'd had a thing for her ever since the first time he'd met her - though he hadn't dared to actually date her while they were teens. He was afraid to further alienate Christian - who he barely spent time with as it was, and her best friend Piper drove him absolutely mad. He always had to be careful not to flip out on the mouthy rebel ; probably because neither one of them had the patience for each other.<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' abrasive personality. So he eventually turned to Christian and started helping him run drugs, mostly because he was a pretty decisive driver and bold behind the wheel. The driving skills that he developed running drugs with Chris eventually led him to follow the long-time friend into the street racing world. <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 Claire - 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 Christian's sister Claire or Allison 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 is his only other true kryptonite aside from the two younger women. <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>

He is always as loyal to people as they are to him. He's business minded. He likes to make plans and he hates surprises. In general he isn't very confrontational, but if you mess with his family or mess with his money expect retaliation. Gun fights and fist fights are all a part of the job description, and he can hold his own with most people, but if given the chance he much rather skip the fighting and just run someone over with his Nissan Skyline GTR.<br><br>He's often easy going and can keep calm in any situation. When he's sober he's talkative and likes to joke and fool around, but when he's drunk he gets more pensive and reserved. He sometimes spends his nights cruising the streets to be alone with his thoughts. He seriously loves his car and spends a good deal of time tuning it, repairing it, and tenderly washing/waxing it. Racing is a spiritual experience for him. He's a true speed junky.<br><strong>History</strong>: <br>Chris has always been into quick money. When he was in his early teens he sold drugs on the corner for one of the local crime rings. Soon he gained trust, moved up the ladder, and was tasked with transporting large amounts of product. This was even before he was old enough to have his drivers license. This sort of work suited him well. Over the next few years he learned to drive fast out of necessity, out running the cops whenever they tried to pull him over. <br><br>One day there was a misunderstanding between Chris and the gang leader. Someone higher up in the chain was keeping drugs for himself, causing Chris's deliveries to come in light and Chris got the blame. At the end of one his deliveries, instead of the usual stack of cash, he was given a bullet in the chest as payment. The shot was meant to kill him, but he survived it. He still has a scar just to the right of his heart and a score to settle with his old gang, although for now he knows better than try and take them on. For now him and the gang have an uneasy truce.<br><br>After leaving the gang Chris started street racing at night and he quickly became one of the best in the business. He also takes any other jobs that comes his way. During the day he's often working in the garage in his scrap yard and hanging with the club.<br><strong>Physical Description</strong>: Six feet tall. Short dark hair usually in various states of disarray. Thin but well toned.<br><strong>Extra Info</strong>: <br>When he's not breaking the law he drives a beatup pickup trick. When he is breaking the law he drives:<br>(http://www.platformnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/01_nissan_gtr_specv_live_opta.jpg)<br>(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-LjaVw884e-g/SHIsoANuMiI/AAAAAAAAA2g/TFP3HyirLB0/s470/Daniel_Henney080707006.jpg)<br></span></div>

(Pretty good driver, but never forces the issue)<br><strong>Physical Description</strong>: 5'5", 118 lbs. Black hair (dyed to a light brown). Brown Eyes. Ear, nostril, and navel piercings.<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>: Much unlike her brother, Claire has managed to stay away from the hard life and as a result has an innocent, almost naive outlook on it. She does realize that she has been able to thanks to Christian, however, and is always sure to stay close and available to him should he need her help. His strong sense of loyalty has rubbed off on her; growing up with him and his few friends that have always been around has been easy, making any request for aid a no brainer. Being generous and kind is something that comes naturally to her - almost to a fault. It can at times seem artificial, but accuse her of that and you can very quickly end up in her bad books. <br><br>In many respects, Claire is not very far off the mark when it comes to being a typical early twenty-something. If it wasn't for school and the Crew, music would be her number one passion. When Christian was 'out and about' during her childhood, the one thing that Mama Tang actually did in her parental career was enroll her in piano lessons. When stressed or feeling particularly lonely, the young woman turns to playing music, whether it be the piano, the guitar, or just blaring it out of her car or a stereo system. When she wants to get away, she'll often be found in a park or something similar just outside of San Diego. Failing that, she'll just zone out to her iPod and a pair of headphones in a corner of the loft or at her house.<br><br>Being on the outside of the Crew, Claire can sometimes feel that she is not as welcome as those that have dedicated themselves to it. An inside joke, far too many car references, and especially talks of drug runs or other illicit activity really puts her off. She knows that the Crew does not shy away from these things and as much as it challenges her own sense of morality, she would never go out of her way to get them into trouble, nor betray them by blabbing to anyone she comes across. She'd sooner die than feel responsible for harming anyone in the Crew.<br><br><strong>History</strong>: To anyone except for Claire, her history is rather dark. She was raised in a broken family in a downtown San Diego neighbourhood, due in part to alcohol abuse, incompatible parents, and a brother who quickly found out just how lucrative the other side of the tracks really was. It didn't take long after she turned six for her parents&nbsp; to unceremoniously split; her father taking off leaving a woman who really wasn't fit to be a parent all alone with two kids. Sounds like a terrible way to start off a life, but between an unmotivated and an older brother with a much keener sense of responsibility than most men, she grew up rather well. Happily living in the shadow of Christian, life up until her teens was rather boring and typical of a kid. Things did, however, get a little funny when she and her mother were beginning to figure out what Christian was doing in his spare time. Claire decided that he knew what was best for all of them and didn't make a big scene about it; not once did she question him about all this money he just happened to be walking into.<br><br>Whilst attending public school, Claire had met and became good friends with Liza Lopez, a newcomer to the school. She related to her because she had come from nowhere and would know no one right off the bat. Claire, not one to be a fan of loneliness took the younger girl under her wing, so to speak, introducing her to her brother and just always being around should that lonely feeling creep up. Not quite the best of friends (it would have been hard given the gap), but they stayed close. This, of course, changed when Christian set up his business, where Claire and Liza saw a lot more of each other. You'd rarely see them apart unless they were doing their own projects.<br><br>It was here that she also had come close to Piper Adams, a girl who was very much down on her luck. Claire was always weary of the girl thanks to her brash and forward nature, but there was something in that contrast that made them well enough friends. Piper helped Claire develop a stronger mentality, the will to stick up for oneself and not take the worst of someone should they decide to give you hell. Claire taught Piper to be more grounded; that not everything was worth the trouble if you or others are just going to get hurt in the end. Not wanting to fight her father anymore, Piper temporarily moved in with Claire and her mother until she found a place of her own. <br><br></span><div class="floatright">(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x111/Lammy519/Objects/454972e9.jpg)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font">It was just at that awkward time in high school where you realize you need to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life did Christian have an altercation that nearly killed him. Being with him the entire time he was recovering was more or less an inspiration to Claire. If she could help it, she was never going to see anyone close to her suffer in such a way. The dream of medical care and nursing was born then.<br><br>Present day, Claire keeps busy with school, her occasional placement at a hospital to gain some hands on experience, taking care of a withering mother, and lounging around at the shop to hang around Christian and the others. School and the hospital have taken a backseat thanks to the summer months, though! Piper and Liza are constant fixtures in her visits, along with a certain brown haired, blue eyed, tattooed gentleman, though she'd never admit it openly. <br><br><strong>Extra Info</strong>: Claire drives a Subaru Legacy, but it is more of a sleeper car than an out-and-out racer. Though she doesn't have the gizmos, gadgets, and JDM conversions as most people do, it is tricked out enough to get from A to B a little faster than usual. Her pride and joy of the whole vehicle is the sound system she managed to install herself! <br><br>Her fashion is more casual, summery, and at times seen as particularly girly depending on her mood. There's no real niche that you can pin her to, as she just wears whatever she likes and feel comfortable in. If there was ever a go to outfit, however, Claire is a huge fan of loose, flimsy blouses with a vibrant coloured tank underneath, along with a pair of often worn jeans and either flip-flops or skater shoes, depending on the day.</span> </div></div>

She's a no-nonsense girl who's offend referred to as the bitch, and seen by many as being on a power trip. She does have a softer side, but it can be hard to reach it through her thick exterior.

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 California and the Baja. 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. Though 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. Helping 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>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 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>

She cannot feel remorse and has no empathy at all. She kills brutally, bloody and not necessarily fast. Seeing a victim die arouses her, and if a target is male, she usually tries to seduce him to be able to kill him during sex. <br><br>Triad members usually stay clear of her, who knows where she has hidden one of her seemingly thousands of knives. Knives are mostly used for male targets, while she prefers to use guns on female targets. She is very good with both types of weapons and also a martial arts expert. Crossing her is not a good idea at all, she holds grudges for decades.<br><br>As much as the sight of others dying arouses her, so does the thought of her own death. She admires the Japanese Banzai charges during World War II, and if she has to go, she wants to go charging directly into the fire. <br><br>Before she goes for the kill, she always strips down to bikini panties or tight shorts, because she knows she gets a huge advantage if she encounters any male guards. Apart from that it makes her feel good. Her clothes only come back on when the kill is done, much like a Samurai sword that can't be sheathed again before it tasted blood. <br><br><strong>History:</strong> Kate (that is her first name, spoken like Ka-Té, although most people call her Kate as an Englishman would pronounce it) was born and raised in China. She was always into fighting, and her parents payed for courses in martial arts from an early age, hoping their daughter would become a champion one day. But she didn't. When she grew into her body and tried out sex with boys, she found out that she could not climax. This bothered her a lot.<br><br>One night, she brought a knife to the boy she was sleeping with, as an added "kink". He went for it, that is until she stabbed him into the chest. Finally she climaxed. Since then she went on a terrible killing spree, seducing men and killing them in bed. It would be like Basic Instinct, but she didn't use icepicks. Several Triad members fell to her charms, among hundreds of other men. Instead of killing her for that, they recognized her talents and have been using here ever since.<br><br>Now she is in America, and her very specific talents are being channeled in the interests of the Triads. <br><br><strong>Physical Description:</strong> See pictures. She is slender and very beautiful, with surprisingly large but full and very firm breasts for her frame. Men tend to stare at her - then they die.<br><br><br><div align="center">(http://www.aramda.at/wre/6.jpg)<br><em>Kate keeping herself fit.</em><br><br><br>(http://www.aramda.at/wre/7.jpg)<br><em>Kate scouting a target</em><br></div>

Outside of that, he is a very relaxed, easy-going individual, though he does like staying in his comfort zone, tinkering in the scrap yard or in school. Nick is also quite a bit eccentric, and takes full advantage of the garage to experiment just a little bit. Tweaking engines, mixing up different kinds of fuel, occasionally singing off an eyebrow.<br><strong>History</strong>: Nick is a native of San Diego, born and raised in a clean, stable home. His youth was fairly standard, middle-class family, middle-class school. Though he did very well with regards to grades, he never quite managed to pick up a scholarship, so, entering the second decade of his life, Nick ran into a whole slew of problems he had no idea how to deal with.<br><br>First and foremost, money. Student loans that were slowly getting harder and harder to pay off. And, just a bit desperate. He turned to less reputable sources to pay them off. Namely, The Triad of Mr Kwan. In his defense, it seemed like a great idea at the time. But over time, it seemed more and more like a nightmare. His debt didn't go away fast enough, his job didn't pay enough, and the 'favors' he was asked to do by the Triad were more than enough. So he turned to someone he hadn't seen since his high-school days. He'd heard she done well on the grapevine, and, desperate, asked, or rather, begged, for her help. And got it.<br><br>He isn't a member of the club by any means now, but he has a good job in the scrap-yard, and uses his time with the garage to make some extra money on the side. It's a fight to make each monthly payment, but at least it's possible now. Of course, he's still far too afraid of Mr Kwan, (and Kate), to let his friends now just who his debt is to.<br><br>(http://www.ticketonline.de/obj/media/DE-eventim/galery/kuenstler/d/david-garrett-10-2009-006.jpg)<br><strong>Extra Info</strong>: Nick is a passable driver at best, but he's a top notch mechanics, even if he has a tendency to go a bit funny when he works on interesting cars. The results tend to be good, and it's given him a bit of a reputation in the right circles. He very much enjoys his job in the scrap-yard, because of all the time and resources it gives him to tinker with. He likes wearing very loose, very baggy shirts and jackets, which gives him a very casual, disheveled appearance.<br></span></div>

Piper can work on almost every car, just by having a wide concept of engine design. the model and year barely matters to her.<br><strong>Physical Description</strong>: 5'8", 113 lbs. Sunny blonde hair. Wickedly bright hazel Eyes. No piercings besides three in each ear. One tattoo on her back<br></span><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Tattoo</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://data.whicdn.com/images/20208606/389797_149069958529123_118070531629066_145460_1492740416_n_large.jpg)</div></div></div><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><br><strong>Personality</strong>:Piper is sour, reclusive, and unexplainable rude. The young woman never means to get on anyone's bad side, but every one has their 'Piper limit', eventually this beautiful little bitch turns into a pain in the ass. She's often late to events, because she doesn't care. She's loud as she moves around, so anyone hoping for a quiet moment can forget about that when she enters. If you're sleeping, it's time to wake up. On a bad day, she can sense some one's 'burning rope', a very instinctual woman, Piper knows to behave when her behaviour could set some body off. No one would be able to notice quickly; but, she is smart, and she knows how to adapt to situations with clever aptitude.<br><br>Her darkness as depth, Piper has been known to use her body in order to get things that she wants, and although she has never indirectly screwed over anybody in the crew, she has come close once or twice, and her irritating ways are only appreciated by those with the patience to understand her. Her rudeness has never been misunderstood as apathy. A psychologist would say that she has a superiority complex, and 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 call out the bullshit and help. this is likely due to her instincts.<br><br><strong>History</strong>: Several of Piper's early memories take place inside of her dad's two separate Cadillacs. she always grew up around cars. Sitting in the passenger seat on the highway is heaven to her. the driver's seat always makes her feel irresponsible, and nostalgic. That is the ultimate irony of Piper. She is angry, and subjective about her past, but she's too hesitant to change her station, and old habits calm her in a way that she doesn't even comprehend.<br><br>Growing up in lower level housing from one side of San Diego to the other, life didn't really start for Piper until she lit her first cigarette. She was twelve. After that, she grew rebellious in spirit, and ill-tempered with ease. Her relationship with her parents, particularly her father, got worse and worse every week. <br><br>Befriending Clara in school was a large moment in her life as well. they didn't particularly get along too well, but they always seemed to cross paths when tensions were high. As time wore on, and they continued to learn more about each other, they bonded with extreme closeness. The two of them may not always agree, but they tend to understand why, supporting the others decisions without much question. Clara has always appealed to Piper's better nature. Without her smaller, dark haired counterpart, Piper would likely be a bitch without recourse or respect. She moved out of her house and into her Clara's mom's house when she was sixteen. Her father had pushed her limits too many times.<br><br>Piper never graduated high-school, and started to fall into bad circles. Her circle of friends were pot-heads and ecstasy-kids. Her boyfriend was a mechanic, and he taught her enough to get a job at his shop. Within a year, both of them were fired for fucking on the job. He never got a job in San Diego again, ended up moving to the rural sections of California and leaving Piper in the dust.<br><br>It hardly phased her, she found her way back into another garage years later. That's where she would have met this crew, although she has always known Christian through the blood of her best friend, Ms. Tang. <br><br>Only a few years ago, Piper's father rolled one of his Cadillacs, and died in the accident. Piper purchased her Coupe De Ville only three months after, much like her ironic stress patterns, she didn't make much of a connection between the two events. She had never purchased a car before hand, and she takes damn good care of this one.<br><br>&nbsp;</span> </div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">More pictures</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7101/7038520409_fbf60df035_z.jpg)<br>(http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1ok5bcQeM1qci1t1o1_500.jpg)<br><div class="floatright">(http://data.whicdn.com/images/12383530/tumblr_lb9a0qcHRb1qeprt6o1_500_thumb.jpg)</div>(http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltafn0igNo1qg0ryro1_500.jpg)<br>(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8NnLtVE-Jqk/TehdciiU2-I/AAAAAAAAAFc/mE3ucW0_i3Q/s1600/garage-girl-only-in-la-does-your-mechanic-look-like-this.jpg)</div></div><br></div>

				<div align="center"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">Allison Leclerc</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 accepted it yet<br><br><strong>Position/Title:</strong> Driver/Mechanic specializing mostly in her own car and making the tiny adjustments that others may overlook (suspension systems, aerodynamics, weight distribution, etc.)<br><br><strong>Specialty:</strong> Racing is Allison's one and only true passion, and through a mixture of racing lessons as well as both track and street experience, she's become very proficient. <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. For two years, 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 again. 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 transporting packages with them. 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>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>Extra Info:</strong> Unbeknown to her, Allison's father was a fairly important player in the Californian drug game, helping the triads launder large amounts of money through his business in exchange for a small 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><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Relationships With The Crew</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Taras Markovski</span></span><br><br>Ally's knight in lustrous orange armor, that perception of him has been burned into her mind ever since that dark night long ago when he'd rescued her from a terrible fate. While her peers treated her poorly and tried to make her life a living hell, Taras became a pillar of hope and strength for her. Allison would sneak off to spend time with him and his friends at every single opportunity, even if it was just to hang out with them in the garage and watch them as they worked. She loves Taras unconditionally and knows that she'll never be able to repay him for everything that he's done for her.<br><br>Even though he was like her big brother and her best friend, Allison harbored a secret crush on him for years, all the way up to the point when she'd parted ways with the crew and moved to Malaysia. She was just a kid back then while Taras was older and unattainable, so she never dared to act on it before she left, though she often thought about it and regretted not doing it once it was already too late. The time spent apart and the distance that separated them inevitably caused those feelings to be put on the back burner, but they've started creeping back up ever since her return, and Ally isn't the little girl that she used to be.&nbsp; <br><br><span class="bbc_u"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Christian Tang</span></span><br><br>Having known Chris for almost as long as she's known Taras, he too has been like an older brother to Allison for years. She has a great amount of admiration towards him for everything that he's done and continues to do for the crew, including the little things that may go unnoticed by others at times, and she's also eternally grateful to him for having welcomed her into the fold. Simply put, Ally looks up to him as a leader and trusts him with her life. She'd walk into a fire without thinking twice if he asked her to, and she sleeps a bit easier knowing that he would do the same for her.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Alisa Lopez</span></span><br><br>Seeing as how they're the two youngest 'family' members and the only girls part of the main crew, it should come as no surprise to anybody that they've grown pretty close. Unlike Piper, Allison doesn't mind the fact that Liza's outgoingness tends to net her a greater amount of attention. Ally's quite content with remaining a bit more reserved and discreet, especially when she isn't behind the wheel, so that isn't a source of friction for them. All in all, Liza is her confidant and currently her closest female friend, not just inside of the loft but in general, so she's the one that Ally will go lie in bed with while spilling her guts out.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Adriano Guillermo</span></span><br><br><em>Drool.</em> Adonis himself, gifted with the ability to make Allison blush merely by being anywhere in her general vicinity. Adriano might be the one that she's the least familiar with out of the entire crew, but that just adds to the aura of mystery that seems to drape over him like a veil of soft black Italian silk. It's a purely physical attraction, which is definitely unusual for Allison since looks aren't what she looks for most in a guy, but that doesn't stop her heart from racing faster than a Top Fuel dragster whenever Adriano so much as blinks at her. It's only a matter of time until Piper picks up on it and teases Ally to death.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Rosha Kovotulyin</span></span><br><br>While she's not <em>that</em> socially awkward, Allison often has trouble deciphering Rosha's cues that would indicate whether he's joking or not, so she just ends up giggling hesitantly like a fool a lot when they interact. Sometimes she gets the feeling that he's flirting with her, and that she may even be reciprocating, but it's always clouded in a mist of uncertainty. In any case, it's hard not to enjoy Rosha's company since he's such a chill guy with a bright personality, plus Allison is the type of person who will take jokes and pranks in stride, so they've always been on good terms.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Clara Tang</span></span><br><br>Clara is a sweetheart. She and Allison haven't spent the most time together, usually hanging out together in a small group rather than one on one, but Ally's very fond of her. Music is one of Allison's biggest interests outside of racing, so they sometimes chat about various bands or albums, and she always appreciates Clara's suggestions whenever she's in search of some new tracks to listen to while driving or lounging around the loft. They may not be as close as sisters just yet, but the warm and caring nature that Clara radiates is enough to make Ally feel like she'd be the right person to talk to when facing a serious issue that she doesn't know how to deal with. Considering everything that she's been going through recently, she might be seeking Clara's council sooner rather than later.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Nicholas Trent</span></span><br><br>Allison's number one accomplice in all things mechanically and technically related. The two of them can go on for hours on end, debating the merits of some minuscule tweak or theory-crafting all kinds of potential methods of improving a car's setup. Still, she realizes that Nick has more engineering knowledge than she could ever achieve in two lifetimes, so she often ends up deferring to his wisdom. Sometimes she'll argue a point with him just to listen to him explain why she's wrong in great, painstaking detail. Not only does it give her the chance to learn a thing or two every time, but she also loves the way that he lights up when discussing all things technical. Naturally, the fact that they get along so well in the garage has also translated to the outside world as well, where they've become quite good friends.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Piper Adams</span></span><br><br>Allison's <em>'blue waterleaf'</em>, beautiful and yet also deceptively prickly just like the thorned wildflower that Piper reminds her of. The rambunctious blonde is something of an ever evolving puzzle in her eyes, one which she hasn't been able to solve and probably never will - at least not completely. She was always one for puzzles, though, so that's what draws her in towards Piper. Sure, Allison never knows what she's going to get from her, and there are times when she gets utterly confused by Piper's behavior, but she generally doesn't take it to heart too much. As such, she's possibly the person in the crew with the highest level of 'Piper tolerance' after Clara and likes hanging out with her. Theirs is a quintessential case of opposites attracting and complimenting each other nicely rather than being at odds...at least most of the time.</div></div>

His father trained him in skills to hone his memory, tell when a suspect was lying and how to drive both fast and safe. Much to his annoyance however, he could never get Ryan to act his age no matter how hard he tried.<br><br>He enrolled at the academy and graduated in the top ten of his class and excelled at pursuit driving, who his trainers listed as “a natural behind the wheel.” <br><br>When he was 22 and as the result of his driving ability, 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 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, and although he never found out who the gang were working for, the evidence he gathered was enough to put the gang behind bars, and shut down the operation for good. It was a huge bust for his career and drew the attention of the San Diego Police Department and their SPU branch, who made the call requesting him for their department. Intrigued by the idea, Ryan accepted the transfer and moved to San Diego.&nbsp; <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><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, especially his fellow officers, believing that they should not have to break the law in order to uphold it. It should also be noted that he also loathes muscle cars, much preferring imports. Although he will drive one if he has too, as long as he gets to moan about it. When he is not working Ryan like to cruise around the streets or track race in his Skyline. </div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Ryan's Skyline</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/4347/sskyline.jpg)</div> </div></div>

But working for the Triad changed everything.&nbsp; First as a messenger, then as muscle, eventually as a courier, Tip found that the relatively easy money and access to the finer things in life appealed more than any sort of continuing scholastic venture.&nbsp; So after graduating high school, he devoted himself entirely to working his way up the ranks of the Gateway Triad.&nbsp; Much to his surprise, the higher he went the more he realized that his lack of education was limiting his options.&nbsp; So he returned to the world of acadamia and spent several years earning a general business degree and then a masters of Accountancy to better track the money in deals he was responsible for.&nbsp; His meticulous eye for detail and willingness to accept blame if something went wrong on his watch along with his proven loyalty eventually landed him near the illustrious Mr Kwan himself, and Tip has been very careful to ensure he stays there.<br><strong>Physical Description</strong>:&nbsp; 6'5, 280 lbs.&nbsp; Typically in jeans and a loose, comfortable top if not working, dressed in custom-tailored suits if attending to business.<br><br></span></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Tips personal car</div><div class="spoiler_body"> (http://ninjaweazel.wikispaces.com/file/view/DriveVette.jpg/349718568/DriveVette.jpg) </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Tips working ride</div><div class="spoiler_body"> (http://ninjaweazel.wikispaces.com/file/view/RaceVette.jpg/349718584/RaceVette.jpg) <br>I imagine the 2012 Vette probably has had the body panels reinforced and the windows replaced with bulletproof glass if Tip is Mr Kwan's personal driver.<br></div></div>
