Okay, so I know everyone is probably sick of new Anna characters, I am too, my brain just never feels satisfied and that screws with my muse and I just feel the need to do this. And yes, I do still partially blame you leslie, but I also know that that's just unfair, and unjust, but my brain is for some reason, talking like the woman I'm going to tell you all about so it's bad, she's loud, and she's wonder, and she's jewish mafia, so I'm going to tell you all about her, and her friend Cason, of whom, many of you have already heard of but not in detail. These two aren't actually best friends in the way we think about besties but they like to hang out and will call eachother best friends jokatively. but yes, This board is for details. My issues are with Benny. I am not sure if I want to keep him or not. I love him, but I've had him for awhile, he's not going anywhere. He's basically been plottless the whole time.
FIRST UP::
CASON CESARE CARLINO
Cason is the male of the above gif. He is part of an Italian family that has been working for the Giovanni's for decades now. Cason grew up all over the place. He family was set up in LA primarily, but Cason was mostly raised by his uncle going all over, training, through beating like everyone else. His father seemed like a loyal man to the Italians but not that motivated. When Cason was ten years old, cason's father betrayed the Giovanni's. JUST Cason's father. Cason, the ten year old had already formed more loyalty to the Italians than he had to his father. He heard his father talking behind closed doors, about ripping them off and disappearing to live a normal life. The eight year old saw his father as weak and went straight to the don himself. After his story checked out, Fausto was sent to kill him but instead he handed the gun to a young Cason. Cason wasn't sure about killing his own father, but when his uncle put a hand on Cason's shoulder and nodded for him to go ahead, Cason readied himself. He was still just ten, he couldn't do it. So his uncle gently leaned down, put his hand on Cason's and pushed cason's finger back to pull the trigger for him. Cason couldn't really register what happened, but since his Uncle had to help, the other families weren't quite sure about Cason.
He got over it, redeemed himself a small amount when his brother turned against him like his father, and cason was able to kill him without a second look. Worked his ass off to gain the trust of the Gios again, and feels shamed by his father and pissed he wasn't strong enough to kill him on his own. He began working for Luca, does his job well. Known for showing no mercy, actually enjoys the sounds of breaking bones (something that makes me cringe). Personality wise, he has some conflicting issues in his head about loyalty and power. He is loyal but he wants more power, not sure about his patience. He is a lot more selfish than he even realizes. He likes to feel in control. Doesn't like to see a woman cry, not because he feels bad, but more it annoys him and he tells her to shut up. He's not warm and fuzzy and has a lot of repressed anxiety and anger. He is sort of a boiling beneath the surface type man, he's a moderate bade guy right now, but I eventually see him becoming a major bad ass. He is fun around friends, sense of humor and all, dark humor usually. But when business is business, he gets very serious. Unlike, one of his best friends *points below*
SECOND UP::
DEVORAH ARIELLA COHEN
The Cohen's are a real Jewish-American mafia family. Famous one's actually, she is a descendant. The Jewish Mafia is mostly New York and Detroit based in modern times but the Cohen's were famous extortionists and labor racketeers who practically invented Murder, Inc. Taking up the work of William Morris Bioff, a Jewish Mobster who spread the racketeering to a bunch of Hollywood studios in the 20's, her family was sent to So. Cal. Very misogynistic group, and basically raising herself in a mansion in Valkyrie. She didn't have a great childhood, partially from neglect, partially from being kidnapped a time or two, and just being around the biz, we all know how it fucks our characters. she was sort of torn between duty to the family, and these being modern times, the jewish mafia was not very powerful or anything. She grew up sort of unsure of how to handle herself, but she felt she had more to offer the kosher mafia than the rest of her family did. She convinced them to let her do minor work. She was spunky, and funny. loyal to her family despite the fact she resents them greatly, which causes her to want to pull away. She was definitely not the type of girl to be used, and not easy to fall in love but she also was not completely closed to it, being raised with the idea of girls getting married and having kids as their primary purpose.
She meets Jesse Lennox and they end up falling for each other. He becomes yet another reason she's pulling away from her family. Her family connections a secret from him, since he was FBI but when he leaves on duty and she begs him not to go, he leaves anyway. She was heart broken, and it sort of shattered the idea of romance in her head as being anything but a liability to a woman. It woke her up to her family still being there, weak or not. She basically takes over her family, she scratches her way to the top of her family ranks, which is a hard thing for a woman to do in this group. She only achieved it by being completely cutthroat. and while she's not the head of the entire Jewish Mafia, she is almost single handedly the reason they're regaining recognition in the crime world they haven't had since the 60s. She treats her boys well, most of them actually accepted her as their boss, she is sort of intimidating. She has a unique way of breaking a man, and is famous for it which, while I won't go into grotesque detail, it does involve the genitals and a lot of pain. She's known for being able to break a man's mind, make him "willingly" obedient to her to get the information and then kill him, or sometimes, converting him to work for them. she's still sort of fun and out there, seems very happy most of the time but she's smart as a whip, charming, and very deadly.
BUT she is good to the people who work for her and to people she is friends with. She is a loyal person, as long as everyone stays in line. She is not a greedy leader, she's only greedy for the group as a whole but she rewards people handsomely, sits around and laughs with them, smokes cigars, plays cards and drinks a beer happily with an almost dead man tied to a chair in the background, and always dressed impeccably lol. She has this strange, charm to her that's hard for people to deny. She does speak yiddish, and is very proud of her Jewish heritage, of Polish descent. Her grandparents are even Holocaust survivors on her mother's side. Her father's side is all American, mix of German, Polish, Irish, and Ukrainian. BUT she is not very religious at all. She goes to temple but she doesn't live her life by the rules. She doesn't cover her hair unless going to temple, she does eat only kosher though.
She is determined to pull the Jewish Mafia out of the dark and make them prominent again. And she is fairly well known to the crime world for already turning her group around so much and known for the talents listed above.

Alright so above I mention deleting Ben. I've decided not to because of one piece of logic. Despite me just making Cason, if keep forgetting about him and yet I've though about Ben. So deleting Ben to make Cason does not make sense. I like Cason in theory but if I am being perfectly honest, I should not have made him. I liked the story I had for him but writing his app in first person was too difficult because while I could see his history clearly, his demeanor and personality kept bouncing back and forth. It couldn't work. I mainly wanted to make him because I love James franco and I figured people would want to plot with him but at the end of the day, I don't feel like he's a real character in my head. He's like a half character who would probably change his behavior every other post because I am not sure about his chain of thinking. It doesn't make sense to keep him when I have so many characters. So, goodbye Cason. Luckily I'm getting rid of him before I even began so there really aren't any plots missing. And honestly, Dev is loud enough not to need him. So I apologize for wasting that time.
The other problem is this man, Bowen Adwar Bennett, aka Bowen Caddoc Clocker ( bow-en kaw-dik claw-ker).
The other problem is this man, Bowen Adwar Bennett, aka Bowen Caddoc Clocker ( bow-en kaw-dik claw-ker).
The pb is Benedict Cumberbatch. I fell in love with him a year an a half ago after watching Sherlock, which for those who don't know is just about the most amazing recreating of the Sherlock Holmes stories... ever. Now I have wanted to make a character who is good at disguises and mastering languages and accents, like a linguistic expect type, I just never had a character or face associated to the idea so never bothered. Now since I'm a huge fan of Benedict C. and I see him a lot on Derek's tumblr ((people think they look similar, personally, I don't see it)) but anyways, I decided to search him on tumblr, freaked about his cuteness, found out from lainey that he happens to be friends with Tom FRICKIN' Hardy, so of course, I dived further into his tumblr to see pics of them, kept falling into the deeper love. Had a conversation about how attractive I found men like him and Derek with unique features over people like Chad Michael Murray. Because I find him incredibly attractive. And literally within five minutes I had a name, a career, a personality complete with strengths and flaws, and a history that only needs a few details to be complete. I am going to give you the short story on Bow as quick as I can.
HISTORY:: - born in Cardiff, Wales - orphaned as a young young boy, birth certificate with the name "Bowen Caddoc Clocker" meaning he was Caddoc Clocker from Cardiff... yeah - grew up the odd one out in an orphanage. not abused, teased a bit because from the youngest age it was clear he was hyper intelligent and at three he preferred books to the telly and chemistry to water balloons. sort of. He was a weird kid, right off the bat, he probably would have loved a water balloon but the other kids weren't interested. - was adopted at age 5, parents decided against it, returned him with in four months. - adopted at age 6, returned at 9 months - adopted at 9, abusive parents, decided he was a freak, kicked him out. He returned himself to the orphanage at age 11. - given up hope on a family, obvious reasons he didn't like himself much. refused to go with anyone else. - always seemed to get offers of adoption because the adults at the orphanage cared about him and tried to nurture his mind, but by 13, he was better off working at many of the local colleges. - Obsessed with spy stories since he was 3, he even tried to apply for interpol and the cia when he was 14, obviously they told him he was too young but he studied things in his free time that he thought may help his chances, a bunch of different languages, technology, biology, criminal justice, national defense strategies, logic courses, deductive reasoning classes, and even acting courses to perfect quick thinking, accents and of course, stage make up. But he was never very coordinated, the simplest of obstacle courses had him in circles. - at 14, due to his intellect and maturity status, he was granted emancipation as long as he checked in, due to his very young age. - but when he was 15, he gave a lecture on nano technology and the advances he had been able to make. The lecture happened to be heard by the Executive Assistant Director of the FBI's National Security Division, the american agency. He had heard of the boy-genius and the fact that the boy was an awkward kid with absolutely no family and had already expressed an interest in working for the government, so he offered him a job. - At 16, Bow came to the USA and was immediately put into a lab working on different weapons and technologies for them. Changed his name when the FBI gave him the chance. - has basically worked for them since, doing anything they ask. But what he really wants a chance to do is get out of the lab and into the action. They never let him, so he kept trying to come up with things to improve his coordination and skills. - When he demonstrated his ability to disguise himself, instead of going on the job, he was sent to training to teach future field agents. - When he demonstrated his language, accent, dialect skills, he was sent to training to teach future field agents. - When he demonstrated sophisticated technologies, inventions and their functions, he was sent to training to teach future field agents. Wants to be a field agent because in his mind, active agents meant strong, brave, and beloved. - and btw teaching a bunch of really strong guys in their late teens early twenties when your 16-18? really scary. He has been working in the National Security branch behind the scenes and every so often getting sent to human resources to train newbies ever since. - they have, when pressed and without options sent him on few minor outings where his dialect and language skills were needed. He did do very well but they still didn't see him as ready because no violence was involved, he just did basic recon. although, if Bow asserted himself he would probably mention the only reason there was no violence was because he knew how to cover the other agent's cultural slip up and make sure they weren't discovered. - made a few friends in the bureau but not many because he's still kinda weird, has some strange habits that will be described below in his personality section. - been on a few dates. never as himself, but really? He doesn't get out much, he wants to, he is a friendly guy, but most people don't seem to want him around. The Bureau also keeps him busy.
PERSONALITY & RANDOM POINTS:: - i'm thinking he'll be 27-28. I want him to still be young within the fbi - obviously the man is Welsh, although no one but the men who hired him knows that - really good guy, genuinely cares about people - good sense of humor - one of the smartest people whom you will ever come into contact with. - eidetic memory, which means he remembers everything basically. and since he's a speed reader without much of a social life and a neurotic need to constantly better himself? Yeah, he's like an encyclopedia - practically debilitating low self esteem that results in the following:: - okay so, people who know him get used to this, it's a tick or a habit of bow's that he does, he tells people it's to keep his skills sharp but really he does it to be unreadable, he doesn't want to tell anyone who he is or what his background is. He hates who he is at the pathological level, which of course probably comes from being adopted and returned more times than he could count, especially his last set of parents who beat the crap out of him for two years - but anyways, he basically pretends to be a new person everyday, not so much changes his personality, but his appearance, style and backstory change every day. - Most days he has a midwest American accent so most people he works with think he's American. But no one really knows, again, apart from the people who hired him initially. His students and some of his assier colleagues have made polls and bets and games out of trying to get him to break and slip up. Trying to get him drunk in order to get him to tell them is always a popular way of trying to get him to tell them, luckily he can hold his ale. so... hasn't worked. Most of the people who work with him in the lab are nice to him, and listen to him, a lot of the active agents poke fun at him, can be sort of asses but at the end of the day a lot of them respect him, or they call him a freak, most of the time both. - THIS with a Welsh accent would be the closest thing to being an accurate stylistic portrayal of who he is. - but other than his appearance and accent changing, he really doesn't change much. It's like he's a ashamed of where he comes from and he doesn't like that he's the geek not the jock in the high school metaphor, he doesn't change his humor, his enormous mind, or anything like that. He will always answer to Bowen or Dr. Bennett. - an idea of how badly he sees himself, he changed his name when he came with the FBI, changed his middle name to Adwar, which means coward, which yeah he did on purpose. - does his best work, alone in the laboratory while, believe it or not, listening to songs from musicals.
And OKAY! So basically he is an awkward, good hearted complete genius with a lot of identity issues. But I kind of love him and would love him to be plotted up. Plus, evidence this is a good idea: i tried to make this a short bulleted history/personality and got carried away while Cason's info is barely two paragraphs and I wanted to give detail for him...

Omgomgomgomg Sherlock!!!! Ok so I'm in class by I had to wrIte something since a. I love you long time, b. it is Benedict Cumberbach c. Your character is awesome and I request, nay, demand plotting. Hard motherfucking core. So, I love him, obviously and you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to shove Liv at you to plot with. And of course he and Allegra have that whole eidetic thing in common, they could be friends and such. But I'm totally going to pimp out Liv since I think they would be adorable together and the whole siren/FBI thing will just be tiptoed around. Like I can totally see her in the middle of the park, lying on th e ground eyes closed, and him walking by wondering why in the hell she's nearly dead on the pitch. Anyway, typing this on my phone is a little tough, but yes. You should make this sexy beast in order to make me squee. I am that demanding. Lol
