[P] The House of Indulgence

[DivineSaturn]

Cedar Terrace, Durem. It was once part of a ritzy, upper class neighborhood. Yet with the fall of Gambino Tower much of Cedar Terrace was damaged or destroyed. For a short time before renovation real estate was dirt cheap, and it was then that four brothers from Gambino decided to finally make their move to Durem.

Number 23 is an old, slightly crumbly brownstone. The ceiling leaks and the floors creak, but all in all it's a steal for the price that was paid. A set of concrete stairs leads to the front door, which is wooden with a heavy brass knocker dead center. Once inside, the house gives off the impression of being old, yet lived in. Personal effetcs are everywhere, and the brothers try their best to dress up the otherwise plain rooms. Three spacious floors house the growing family, and it's now right in the middle of an up-and-coming neighborhood.

Who could ask for more?

[DivineSaturn]

Character's Name: Zero Larkin
Aliases/Nicknames: Dr. Moo
Name Meaning: Seeds (Greek)

Age: Adult (mid-twenties)
Gender: Male
Species: Cowboy (XD;?)
Nationality: Gaian
Eye Color: Red
Hair Color: Lavender
Hair Type: Straight and shaggy, cut unevenly long
Type of Body / Build: Tall, slim yet fit
Skin Tone: Almondine
Height: 5'9"
Weight: >___>
Predominant Features: Violet cow's ears and tail, short white horns, hooves
General Appearance: Zero is flashy and bold, and his appearance reflects that. He wears a good deal of jewelry, including earrings, a cross necklace, and anklets on occasion. His lavender hair is worn loose and long, and is well cared for. Yet somehow he never appears feminine. Easily the most promiscuous of the brothers, many of Zero's outfits show off his skin and well toned figure. Usually he's in casual attire- no more than a pair of shorts and a shirt- worn open to show his six-pack abs, of course. He is never seen without his purple cow-print leg warmers, since they protect his ankles, vulnurable spots for Zero.

Parents: Unknown
Siblings: Kyuubi Larkin, Dorian Larkin, Denes Larkin, Urian Larkin (adopted brothers)
Other Family: Unknown

Talents/Abilities: First-aid, organization, washing dishes, cooking (in a pinch), being loud and distracting
Strengths: What might be Zero's most redeeming feature is that he is actually well-trained in first aid, and has a good bedside manner to boot. The normaly overzealous cowdude does a complete 180 when faced with someone in need of his skills, and is calm and businesslike in the face of emergency. On a more regular basis he's the one who keeps the house in order and the bills paid, mostly because he's the ain breadwinner in the house, and likes to be in charge of things (aka he's bossy). He's also a decent cook in a pinch, and can throw together small meals that are unusual, but quite edible.
Weaknesses: Zero is pushy. He's bossy, he's vain, and he's noisy when things aren't going the way he wants them to. Some people are scared of him, others just take a dislike to him. In reply to this, Zero often gets noiser (if possible). His people skills definitely need work. He is extremely protective of his brothers, especially Kyuubi, and will lash out violently if anyone appears threatening- even when they're not. What often makes things worse is Zero's inability to speak in human tongues. He can only speak in a bovine sort of moo, and while most people can get used to this after they've known him for a while and he talks at a leisurely pace, when in a hurry usually one of his brothers is needed for translation.

Predominant Features: Tawny brown fox ears and tail
General Appearance: Kyuubi looks a bit younger than he really is- the second oldest of four brothers, he's often thought to be the youngest. He's a bit shorter, more compact, and even a bit more feminine than his brothers. Despite his short haircut and boyish face he is sometimes mistaken for a girl. Perhaps it's his frequently timid demeanor that inspires images of a damsel in distress, waiting for a knight in shining armor. Most of the time Kyu is dressed simply- sometimes in no more than a pair of shorts, with an occasional shirt draped over his shoulders. But on rare occasions his brothers put him in more interesting outfits, which range from lace aprons to schoolgirl uniforms.

[DivineSaturn]

Character's Name: Denes Larkin
Aliases/Nicknames: Denny, DenDen
Name Meaning: Wine (Greek), Drama (Hungarian)

Age: Adult (early twenties)
Gender: Male
Species: Cat/human hybrid
Nationality: Gaian
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color: Purple
Hair Type: Overgrown, uneven, and spiking out in all directions
Type of Body / Build: Slender and rather flexible
Skin Tone: Blanched Almond
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 130lbs
Distinguishing Features: Red/blue cat ears and tail, pointed incisors, white lattice-like markings on face, ears, and tail.
General Appearance: Denes is a colorful fellow in appearance. Perhaps it is because of this that he chooses to dress in subdued tones, usually black. His most frequent attire consists of a black sleeveless shirt and faded black pants. He never wears shoes; even in the winter the most he'll do is slip on rubber-soled socks. His forehead and arms are always wrapped in plain white linen bandages that are never changed or rewrapped. Despite that odd feature he always manages to carry himself like a gentleman, never a slouch or a crooked neck.

Parents: Unknown
Siblings: Zero Larkin, Kyuubi Larkin, Dorian Larkin, Urian Larkin (adopted brothers)
Other Family: Unknown

Talents/Abilities: Cooking, swordfighting (esp. with lightsabers), climbing, cake decorating, sewing and knitting, sleeping, dealing with children
Strengths: Denes is a gentleman first and foremost. His polite mannerisms and delicate tastes ease him into most social situations. He is looked up to as a chef of nearly gourmet level, and plays on the fact that the way to someone's heart is often through their stomach. While he rarely practices he does have some knack with using a lightsaber, a talent he picked up when he ran away from home some time ago. He is well rounded, and can deal with children as well as adults, and women as well as men.
Weaknesses: Rough and gruff people rub him the wrong way, to the point that he is willing to take it out on them violently. The feeling that he needs to take care of everyone often leads him to physical and mental burnout, and every so often he will suffer a bout of exhaustion. He is nearly incapable of athletic activity and doesn't attempt any, with the exception of rock climbing.
Likes: J-rock, long strolls, good conversation, fine wine, being patted on the head
Dislikes: Sour or bitter foods, violence, practical jokes, being yelled at, art galleries
Sexual Preference: Men (and boys?)

Usually Uri wears a tank top and shorts despite the weather, and his favorite shoes are pink with yellow and green swirls (worn with light pink socks).
