~History of the four~
The history of this odd little family runs deep and is quite complicated. We will start with how the four got to where they are in life. First we start with our dear temptress of the group Integra.
Integra grew up with a strict Catholic mother, while her father was a pissant drunk and verbally abusive. While in Catholic school, Integra who was always a A student, had developed urges for another girl. Through their hidden relationship Integra found she preferred the company of women to that of any man she had ever tried to date.
When she came out to her parents about being a lesbian her mother started preeching to her about how she was going to Hell and how she was a horrible human being, etc, etc. Her father on the other hand came at her and started beating her. It was safe to say Integra couldnt continue living at home. So she left.. at the age of 14 she packed a suitcase and started hitch hiking.
A trucker picked the girl up, this would be Integra's first introduction to what man was truly capable of. Not only was she forced upon and h ad her virginity stolen by the trucker that had given her a ride. But he left her in a small city.. where what else could a young 14 year old girl do to make money for herself? She went to stripping and selling her body. Of course she made a good deal of money due to her age and her young.. assests.
Eventually our young Integra hit the age of 18 and landed a job at a upscale strip joint where all she had to do was dance everynight. If she wanted to give a private dance or more she could, otherwise she didnt have to do anything but tease the men. A long cry from what she had been forced to do for the past 4 years. It is here where she met, Walter the bartender at the time, Pip a local and frequent costumer who tipped well, and Jan Integra's soon to be source of drugs and not soon after that she would be arrested for prostitution and possession of drugs.
________________
Speaking of the tan, dark haired foul mouthed male. Jan's was a blatant druggie herself and therefore never there.. well mentally anyways. Jan's father was.. well non existent. It was just him and his mother for a good while, Jan pretty much raised himself, didnt do well in school. He went the stereotypical route of getting involved in a gang, his first introduction into drugs, was actually through his mother and not his buddies.
From there Jan broke the law rather continiously for minor things. breaking in entry, loitering, foul language in school before he dropped out. Arson and rumors of him being involved in a drive buy shooting went rampant. Jan does fear the cops, and he has done time in Juvie for his law breaking.
It wasnt too long into his youth that Jan became a drug dealer. Despite his age he was able to strike deals with suppliers and become a supplier himself. Now ahead of the game and finally on top, Jan frequently visits the club Integra works at. Here they dont ask questions unless you hassle the girls and Jan never did that, he loves the tits and a** too much.
Jan would later end up in prison for a few years, being busted for selling drugs and possession of them. Not to mention a few other minor law breaks that had finally caught up with him. He would end up on probation and moving in with Integra, Walter and Pip to avoid, not just the police, but former druggies and employers who he now owes money.

Walter worked at the bar Integra worked at and Jan visited. He has his own story to tell, mostly of how.. before he became a bartender he was one of the youngest hired Mercenaries in the world. His skill with cutting wire was phenomenal to say the least and he is very quick and rather flexible despite his uptight and gentlemanly appearance.
Walter became like a second body guard to Integra while she worked at the strip joint. He fell for her and hard, how could he not, he has a soft spot for women who have had unfortunate pasts. Alot of his past is a mystery as to how he became a hired Merc so young remains unknown. All that is known is that he grew up in London, Britian. He has a bit of an accent and his speech as well as his behavior is alot like a older gentleman than anything else. He also states that while he was a Merc and not on duty he worked as a butler for his various employers. Why he fled with Jan and Integra to Nirvani island is unclear. But then again.. being a killer for hire... staying on the move is the best thing to do.
______________________________
Speaking of Merc's for hire, Pip is a hopeless romantic frenchman with one eye. How he lost the eye exactly only he knows and he doesnt like to talk about it. Like Walter, Pip started at a young age as a Mercenary and his skill his admirable, though he chooses to use, knives, guns and explosives.
Pip used to be the Captain of a Mercenary group known as the Wild Geese. What happened to them no one exactly knows, rumor is their employer turned on them and the team got obliterated. Pip barely made it out alive and from that point on he has been moving from place to place.. much like Walter. Finding work where he could and how he could. And like Walter, Pip who frequented the strip joint fell for Integra, the two had something of a rival going on. Until that is Integra got into trouble. And when the three left.. so did Pip following along. Its not like he had any better place to go.
So that is the story of the four. Some parts of their past are a mystery but that is as much as any of them will tell anyone, even one another. The four, through their past of come to think of one another as family, they will protect, die for and do anything for their each other. Messing with them would be a grave mistake.
