Jaydn; [Jay-din].

User ImageJaydn Matsui, age 23 and six feet one, is a cousin of Kyrin and Felix. Oldest of three sons from Han’s only sister, he was named Han’s successor to the mafia. In preparation for that position one day, Jaydn is in charge of a sub mafia under Han’s direction, the Coyotes. Because he was named successor over Kyrin and perhaps because his mafia is also more well-known, Jaydn and Kyrin share a relationship that is laced with arguments and petty revenge. Though they usually don’t see each other often, with both of them very busy with their own mafias, when Jaydn find his mafia has become dull for him, he will go off in search of Kyrin. He will usually poke fun at Kyrin just to get her reaction and hold over her head anything he’s got, namely her father‘s mafia. Around others though, he is tends to act aloof and holds an arrogant idea of ‘I’m too cool for you‘. Very blunt about his thoughts, he butts head constantly with anyone and will enjoy a good argument just for kicks. Even so, he has a soft side in his love for music and has the ability to play both the guitar and piano. He goes by the surname of ‘Matsui’ in an effort to protect his family from his enemies.

With cool grey eyes from his mix heritage and slightly past shoulder length dark hair, Jaydn often catches the attention of crowds as he rides about loudly on his precious red sport motorcycle.

Xavier Hitoshi Snow-Matsui [Zay-vee-er He-toe-she suh-no Matt-Sue-ee] User Image

[I found a picture that someone else did and edited to how I wanted it. White hair to orange, the gray eyes, and I removed a cigarette and smoke. Not my pic. ]---------------------->

Born to Sayuri Matsui on December 17th, Xavier Hitoshi Snow Matsui is the youngest of the Matsui brothers. Xavier is considered to be the most reckless of the three and was often teased because his temperament contradicted the name his mother gave him, “Hitoshi”, which literally means even tempered and level. Nearing his eighteenth year, Xavier is not yet old enough to do many of the things that he decided he was allowed to do. Getting his tongue pierced was only one thing among a long list of ‘don’ts’ that Xavier did. The piercing plays into two things for Xavier; the first, annoying his brothers [mostly Jaydn] by clicking the small black ball against his teeth and the second, quelling his oral fixation. Often times when Xavier will find himself in a spot where saying something will only serve to make the situation worse he will play with his piercing instead of talking. Standing roughly six feet in height, Xavier wears his hair in a classic j-rock fashion, his hair “messy” yet always well kept. The color, though originally a very dark brown, is kept in various shades of orange. His eyes are the same clouded gray as his mother’s and very closely resemble Jaydn’s own. With pale skin that is tributed mostly to the fact that both of his parents are pale, Xavier finds it hard for him to maintain a tan, not that it is something he particularly cares about. Having grown up with a mother that insisted her sons never go anywhere without looking presentable, Xavier wont leave his room until he is showered and dressed. Xavier will never wear the same clothes again before washing them, regardless of how little he wore them in a day. Even when he ‘dresses down’ in jeans and a shirt, he is sure that they are free of lint, dirt, or loose ends.

Xavier lives for excitement and has a hard time sitting still for long amounts of time. He has the innate ability to turn anything into a game if left to his own devices long enough, and often will say that he lives for nothing but to make the lives of his brothers miserable. As such, he will do anything and everything in his power to make sure that at some point during the day Jaydn is thoroughly irked, or at the very least slightly annoyed. His ability and ‘quest’ to annoy his brothers is somewhat of a hobby for Xavier, a favorite pass time. Along with that Xavier races motorcycles. Since he was a young boy he had always wanted one and the moment he was old enough that his mother would allow him one, he went out and acquired the best one he could find. He owns a black ‘rice rocket’, as he and his friends in Japan endearingly call it, using the slang term for their bikes. The paint coat is a shiny black with silver accents and a license plate that reads ‘Ryu’ in the kanji character for ‘Dragon’. Xavier is very fond of his bike and wont let anyone else ride it. Xavier is no mechanic, but as he has various parts in his bike that are illegal, he learned to work on his motorcycle and repair it himself, not wanting anyone else to touch it. Xavier is in near constant need to repair his bike after he races because of his reckless nature. Although he’s broken quite a few bones and suffered numerous lectures from his mother and the family’s doctor, Xavier has no intention of slowing
down or driving safer.

Xavier’s view on life is that it is there for his amusement and as such he thinks he can do almost anything he wants without dire consequences. Although Xavier understands laws and the punishments for those who break them, he goes out of his way to find loop holes and exploits them thoroughly. Xavier loves to “live on the edge”, so to speak and fears very little. With a mischievous smile nearly always present on his face, Xavier is constantly coming up with new ways to amuse himself. Xavier is, by his very being, reckless and spontaneous, and as such he doesn’t often think through his words or actions before he says or does them. In the end, its his loose tongue and disregard for authority that gets him into trouble. Since Xavier is fun loving, it is hard to really set him off and make him angry, but once he is, he is a very dangerous person. Having started and ended numerous brawls, Xavier uses his hand to hand combat skills to his distinct advantage. He is known for thinking about his actions after the fact and his most common thought in that sense is: “s**t, I probably shouldn’t have done that”. Followed by, “Oh well.” Xavier has come to live with the philosophy that what is done is done and there is nothing he can do to change the past so he might as well not dwell on it.

With the exception of a few months early in his seventeenth year alive, in which Xavier was allowed to go live with his brother, he has lived in Japan nearly all his life. Xavier is very proud of his Japanese heritage and plays it up as much as he can. He is glad that his Japanese genes came out more then the white of his father. This is not to say that he doesn’t like his father’s background at all, he simply thinks that there is a certain elegance to being Japanese and he wants to show that off in himself. Xavier, getting a lot of his beliefs from his mother, thinks that Kyrin and Jaydn have betrayed their heritage by not giving themselves more to their Japanese side. He believes that they use the Japanese language as a tool rather than an actual from of communication. In addition to having slight accents of his father in him, having two last names emphasizes the fact that Xavier is of mixed heritage. The last name Snow comes from his father and Matsui from the obvious, the Matsui line in the family that is held in such high regard. Having lived with his mother, father, and Maddox in Japan for most of his life Xavier is fully fluent in Japanese. His father, seeing it as an advantage saw fit to teach Xavier and Maddox English as well. Xavier, who picked up the second language much quicker then his older brother, has very little liking for the language, finding it too harsh. If he can get away with it, Xavier will not speak English at all, preferring to stick to Japanese. When Xavier speaks English though, he has a thick Japanese accent and sometimes he will insert the Japanese word for something if he cannot think of the English one.

When Xavier was young his mother would recite Japanese proverbs to he and his brothers whenever she knew it would help them to learn a lesson. During his early years, Xavier found himself very bored home alone with just his mother and Maddox and so he amused himself in other ways. Consequently he would land himself in a great deal of trouble. The first time he got caught it was for throwing a rock through someone‘s window. When he decided to try a lie, his mother told him, “Deceive the rich and powerful if you will, but don’t insult.” It took Xavier a while to realize what exactly she meant by this, but once he did, he never even thought to lie to her again. The other line that managed to make it through his stubborn head was, “Better to die then to live in shame.” Xavier tries very hard to live up to the expectations that his mother has placed on him, but often times finds himself straying away from what she would like of him. Like his brothers, Xavier does what his mother says is right, but unlike his brothers, Xavier is the only one that Sayuri will ever allow to talk back to her. Xavier takes advantage of being Sayuri’s baby and has more respect for her, as a person, then Jaydn ever will.

Levi Donnelly. [Lee-Vye Don-al-ey]

"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring." -Invisible Monsters Chuck Palahniuk

Aged 21, Levi is a master at getting where he is not allowed. Full-blooded Irish, he has the alcohol tolerance and short temper stereotypical of his racial heritage. Levi is a master of disguise and infiltration, and takes extreme pleasure in changing his personality and identity at the drop of a hat, whether it is for a mission or not. His penchant for knowing every little thing that is going on is made easier by Levi’s specialties in disguise and infiltration. He came to a mafia lifestyle after scrounging on the streets, the forgotten child of Irish immigrants, and he still bears the slightest hint of an Irish accent, more so when he is angry, and he has been known to lapse into Irish and British slang vernacular at times.

He is also often the most outgoing and optimistic of the group. He thrives on being around people, and has been known to be a social butterfly. He loves women, and, if you ask him, any situation where he can be around women, and despite occasionally (ok frequently, he admits) coming off as effeminate, he is immensely attracted to most of them.
Levi naturally, though it changes often, has strawberry blond hair that he wears chopped loosely around his ears and the back of his neck, and has green eyes. He is five foot seven, and built childishly. He changes his hair and eye color as often as necessary, using his natural need for contact lenses to change the latter. His small build allows him to easily sneak around, and a childhood on the streets gave him the ability to disappear when needed.

He’d prefer, however, to not be invisible. Unless, of course, he is plotting something, which he often is. And its often solely for his own amusement, and at the expense of someone else in his group. The more mischief he can rifle up, the more fun Levi is often having. He plays pranks on the others in his group, shamelessly, as long as it does not interfere with the greater scheme of things.

This is not to say that he is not extremely loyal to his group. He will poke fun and lighten the mood of things, but when it comes down to it the job always gets done if it is given to him, and if it does not necessitate an intricate knowledge of technology or weapons. He can handle both, but they’re not his favorite things in the world.

Miles Morózov [My-els Mow-row-zawv].
( Паша[Pasha] Морозов)


User Image
Miles Morózov, had been a leader all his life, until he joined up with Jaydn. Originally, he aimed high for joining Han's Mafia, but had no quarrel in joining Jaydn's. Young and professional, he is highly intelligent and useful, managing a great deal of the mob with Maddox. It's not insulting to having a business partner, but Miles finds himself entirely capable of taking on the job alone. With an ego the size of a small planet, he firmly stabilized his status within the mafia and knows very well how efficient he is. Miles could wield a gun effectively if need be, but he prefers a good fist fight, after growing up around cousins who practiced bare-knuckle boxing. He dipped into the sport slightly himself, although learned most of what he knows by experience in street fights, with a bit of Muay Thai influence as a fluke. Although egotistical, he would never act too haughty, since he likes having a good reputation. Manners and politeness are also important to him, since they can keep a person civil and cool-headed in even the most desperate of situations. But, if he is polite to you, he naturally expects it to be repaid back, or you are unworthy of his company.

There are two types of people in his world: Miles, and Not Miles. Miles will treat everyone who is not himself with a small bit of kindness and politeness,which some people may mistake as charm. However,he will only speak to everyone equally, because everyone is equally below him.

He is characteristically level-headed, but also easily irritated. He would never yell or visually show rage, but it's not uncommon to seem him express his frustration through rubbing his temples or pinching the bridge of his nose where his glasses rest. Keeping things clean and organized is second nature to Miles, and having a loose thread or spot on one's clothes is unacceptable, even though his office is known to be a disaster area at certain times of stress. He only wears reasonably fashionable and classy expensive clothes and suits, but he wears them casually and in complete comfort. He has no hobbies except maybe reading the newspaper or collecting brand-name dress clothes.

At 24, Miles is about average height (5"11), a Leo, and lean but toned. He is of Russian decent, which gives him the characteristic dark shadows around his eyes, which are hazel. His hair is dark as well, and even though it's almost messy-looking, it's exactly how Miles wants it to look. He could definitely afford contacts, but he likes how glasses make him look more distinguished, and wears them confidently. His first impression gives off a sense of charisma, but it seems animals and small children (like they always do) tend to have a sense of how sinister he really is.

He is the son of immigrants, but has no accent and only a low level of Russian comprehension for communicating with his immediate family. Despite his somewhat poor upbringing, Miles put himself through college and halfway through lawschool before getting involved with the mafia full time. For a while when he was young, Miles was a bookish kid, eventually becoming a delinquent with the influence of his older brother. Getting into multiple scrapes on the street helped carve a decent tolerance for pain, a respectable punch, and the occasional crave for bloodshed; Until the death of his brother obligated him into becoming a polished businessman. Luckily, Miles inherited his father's smile, which serves to make others feel comfortable and pleasant; useful for lowering the average person's guard. He is also known by the others as being particularly promiscuous, and a chain smoker, but mostly for being a workaholic. He strives purely off his work, perhaps the only thing he is ever eager about and hates vacations. He is not notably afraid of death, since he knows that's the risk he took in joining the mafia. But he would rather die in his prime than ever have to retire from the work he loves.

User ImageKarma [Car-muh].

Karma was born somewhere in Korea at an unknown date to parents of an unknown orgin. He was abandoned as soon as he was born but after spending ten years at an orphanage in Korea, a mysterious aunt appeared out of no where and took him in as her own son to her home in Japan. He then claims to have then taken offers to be an underground hit man for the Meiyu-kai, a Korean gang centered in Osaka, Japan. The rest of the fourteen years of his life are unknown. How he got connected with Han and his mafia is also not known. His stories about his history change every time he is asked.

Karma claims to be twenty-four years old and from Korean origins. His eyes are blue though so it is guessed that he is partially Caucasian. He stands about six feet two in height and has a very lanky build. His hair is black with stripes of bright red mixed in and is cut in a Japanese pop band style. His head is also partially shaved above both of his ears, which are pierced twice. He's deeply in love with Japanese band fashion and his wardrobe has never seen a regularly cut T-shirt in all it's life.

Due to his strange and unknown past, most would believe Karma to be quiet and mysterious at first glance. Getting to know him better proves otherwise. Loud, annoyed at everything, and headstrong are better adjectives to describe him with. Karma has no qualms in speaking his mind when he feels like it. He is also very opinionated about nearly everything and is extremely competitive. This often gets him into trouble with superiors or with co-workers.

One of his more odd traits is that he is highly Germophobic. He doesn't like any type of human contact and goes no where without his bottle of Purel. His room is spot clean and full of different disinfectants and hand sanitizers. Strangely enough, though, his favorite "hobbies" are clubbing and sex. How this makes sense is really a mystery.

Karma takes his job as a mafia member seriously. He has complete loyalty for his supieors even though sometimes it seems like he'd rather do his job his way and not how he is assigned to do it.

Maddox Matsui

The Twins;
User ImageCaiden and Riley Flynn were born only minutes apart and since that day they have been inseparable. Born March 26th, the boys became the joy of their parents. The two perfect little boys to complete their family. Almost indistinguishable, their parents had an extremely hard time telling them apart as they grew up. When their different personalities came into play it was easier, but still hard. The boys excelled in their studies through their elementary years and showed promise and all the characteristics of good students. Through their middle school years, they still proved inseparable and made a huge fuss when they were placed in a different science class. Riley, the less outspoken of the two, tired to convince his brother that it was alright, but Caiden would hear none of it. They took their schooling all they way up through college and made their parents proud. Straight out of college they found themselves working side by side for a big corporation in the city but they soon became bored with the repetitive tasks to be completed through paper work or on the computer. At twenty three, they quit and took up a few odd jobs that weren’t particularly on the right side of the law. It is a helpful quality that the two know the city and its important people like the back of their hands.
Now twenty four, they two have decided to search for an exciting job to settle down with. Their half Irish heritage makes them partial and ’immune’ [as they call it] to alcohol. And at six foot, it isn’t particularly easy for the two identical men to go unnoticed. With short reddish brown hair and glistening hazel eyes, the two are well toned and slim. And despite being outside in the sun a lot, their complexion remains pale. While Caiden and Riley both have their left ear pierced, only Caiden has his eye brow pierced. The small ring above Caiden’s right eye makes it easy for those around to tell the two apart, something that they have only recently decided to be a good idea.
While the two of them are very close, sometimes this is a fault of theirs. Not wanting to part with the other’s company is not something that they readily accept and it is hard for them to let others work with them. Its not to say that they wont work with a group, but if there is specific work that needs to be done, they want to do it together and will not separate for it. It is not something that they have mastered doing yet. Also, Caiden’s quick temper and the fact that he doesn’t always think through his words before he says them are, at time, detrimental to the situation that they are in.


Caiden Michael Flynn [Kay-din My-cull Fa-lin]
Self confident, daring, impulsive, and outspoken best describe Caiden’s temperament. Always the more blunt of the two, it tends to be Caiden that gets he and Riley in trouble and through tough spots. He also talks the most out of the two when they are around others. With a firm stance on most things, Caiden’s world mostly consists of black and white, note shades of gray. His best friend is his brother and he never let’s anyone come round that he doesn’t trust. Having always been the one doing most of the protecting, Caiden excels and even has come to enjoy fighting and bare fist boxing. He would prefer to fight with his hands and feet, but if the need arose he has the skill to use a small assortment of handguns. He owns one of his own, but if that one was lost, he wouldn’t feel defenseless. In addition to those, Caiden understands that in times of dire need, anything can be used as a weapon and has tested this theory quite a few times. Through school, Caiden took Spanish as his mandatory language, but found it boring and discontinued his practicing of it after the two years in high school were over. He can speak a few words, such as ‘yes’ and ‘no’ but anything more and he hasn’t a clue anymore. English being his first and only known language, he is pretty much lost when others speak in another language.

Riley Andrew Flynn [Rye-lee An-drew Fa-lin]
In contrast to his brother, Riley tends to be the more introverted of the two, normally letting his brother do the talking. He often acts as a diffuser to his brother’s sometimes short temper, though he can have a temper of his own if provoked. When they were younger was picked on a lot for his timid nature, but that stopped when they got into middle school and Caiden fought anyone who talked bad about Riley. Riley feels bad about relying on Caiden all the time and is slowly becoming more outspoken, so there are time when he will speak out, though he normally doesn’t. Just as Caiden, if needed, Riley will use the small hand gun that he carries around the city for protection. Riley also knows how to box and fight just as Caiden but he isn’t quite as skilled in this area. He is more skilled in book smarts and retaining information. While Caiden forgot all the Spanish that he and Riley learned, Riley retained it, though he doesn’t care to speak it unless he absolutely must. He doesn’t like others to know that he can speak another language because then he would have to deal with them without Caiden being able to back him up, also, he is aware that it makes Caiden feel useless when he speaks a language that Caiden can’t understand.
