V. BACKSTORY.
TRIGGER WARNING FOR: PARENTAL DEATH.
although you are an only child, growing up rarely did you feel a lack of love from your parents. your father, specifically. thanks to him your childhood was a bright one, at least the first ten or so years. connor was a carpenter, loved and adored by all in stratford. a kind soul, as you now remember him. he loved working with his hands, always building something new, always full of ideas. during the last seven years of his life, however, your father developed a fascination with bikes. most likely it was just the influence of some of his closest friends at that time. they joked about being in this cool secret club only people with 'special bikes' could join. that served as enough of a push for connor to consider getting his own bike. half a year later, connor had finally bought a somewhat cheap-ish bike, but nonetheless graceful. he decided to fix the bike himself, of course after learning how to actually do it first. you got to witness his determination, his fascination and interest bloosom during those years. it touched you in ways you still struggle to put in words today. it was like something out of an animated movie. ingiting that first spark that would later turn into a fierce inferno. this first introduction to a hobby that was later supposed to develop into a life-style of sorts persuaded you to always follow your heart, no matter where it led you. the two of you spent the following six years working and enjoying riding the bike together. during the years, it has turned into one of connor's greatest possessions, even if your mother frowned upon the time that 'was wasted' in that garage of yours. something you really admired your father for was the fact that, although his friends had managed to 'inspire' him to buy his own bike, connor did not rush into joining this 'secret club' right away. instead, he had taken his sweet time finding and building his connection to his bike. and, he made sure to share all that time and effort with you, thus including you in his hobby. you will never forget the first time he took you for a ride. it felt magical. freeing. unfortunately the ride was short, which kept you wishing you could experience it again for yourself. the rides continued from time to time throughout the following year. that is until connor finally decided to try and join the mysterious club, which later turned out to actually possess a name. the reapers. connor was a successful prospect for the reapers for the most part, trying to prove himself to the club, doing its dirty work. however, some limits restricted his potential. he didn't want to kill, even if it was for the sake of the club. perhaps that was his downfall in the end. you can't really tell that now as you weren't there when he lost his life that fateful night. only a couple of months were left before a treaty would be enforced between two rival clubs, but connor wasn't there to witness it. you were told by your mother there was an accident involving his bike. of course you believed it being barely a teen, but the more time passed the more suspicious you became. something in your heart told you that there was more to the story that met the eye.
life had turned quite bleak after your father's passing. his bike, now damaged, was cast aside in the dark corners of the garage. the only things that remained with you were the precious memories of your time together. of how being with him made you feel. how riding a bike made you feel. you've seriously considered joining the club once you turned eighteen, but your mother was too relentless and stubborn as hell, certain that if you joined the club, you'd follow in your father's footsteps. though a small part of you wouldn't have minded that. he was supposed to still be there for you, watching you grow up into a person you were now becoming without him. there wasn't much consideration involved in terms of your career. you have always enjoyed physical education classes, so after graduating high school you got yourself a personal trainer certification. not only you enjoyed working out, but it was quite a beneficial tool to manage your frustration and anger, which often you ended up suppressing. the flexible hours, working with clients and helping them better themselves was fullfiling for a while, but there was something else that gnawed at your mind every other moment. there was an undying need to finish what has been started by connor. and spending three full years in this awful place of uncertainty only pushed you towards the next big decision in your life. now that you had your own place, you decided to take and fix your father's bike and make it your own. thankfully learning the ropes wasn't a struggle for you as the underlying passion and determination made you flow right through the process smoothily. days later, you were placed exactly in the same position your father once was. a prospect for the reapers. thus this time, you were deadset on seeing it through it to the very end. safe to say, your story was a more successful one. the club seemed to be impressed by your willingness to be a part of such community and and selfless acts towards other club members. soon enough you found some of the most meaningful people in your life, the ones you couldn't imagine your life without right in this very moment. it only strengthened your beliefs that joining the club was the right decision after all. if not the best, that is. now, a road captain for the reapers, you eagerly organize the runs for the club, taking the role of a mentor sometimes among other things as you can easily spot new potential when you see one. always true to your word, you're more than willing to give your life for the club, but most importantly, you're ever determined to push on and excel in your position, hoping to make your father proud by living for yourself as much as you do for him.
VI. WANTED CONNECTIONS.
ESTRANGED MOTHER [ OPEN ] … you were never close with your mother, although she did provide for you and kept you fed and safe. on paper, she was a great mother, but there was little to no love that you felt from her. maybe she didn't know how to show it, maybe she didn't want to show it to begin with. either way, with each year that passed, she had grown more and more dismissive of your father's interests, believing it to be a ‘waste of time’ and how it was a dangerous hobby to pursue. now that you have moved out and have a place of your own, you see her less and less. a part of you feels relieved. the other feels agitated and worried for her wellbeing. she had always kept her feelings under the wraps, just like you do even if you try not to. perhaps… reaching out to her one more time wouldn't hurt?
RIDE OR DIE / BEST FRIEND [ 0/1 ] … the two of you met at the club soon after you were officially welcomed as a reaper. you clicked naturaly and quite fast, too. both of you felt this special connection in being a part of something bigger and greater than yourselves. but most of all, you knew you'd give your life for them in a heartbeat should they need it. this is the very first and probably only person who has seen you at your lowest, rawest self. they've seen it all during the years and yet, when most had moved away from your orbit, this one had grown even closer. and it never ceased to amaze you.
SLOW BURN [0/1] … you're not the best in expressing yourself emotionally. nor are you a relationship guru, even if you try and do help your closest friends by giving out some pieces of dating advice. things are always easier when you're looking in from the outside. the other way around? not so much. and yet… there is something about this person that attracts yous. is it their personality? their humor? way with words? you cannot say as of right now, but you don't mind being around them. well, maybe you're a bit eager to see them again. but they're probably just another future acquaintance of yours anyways. so, why not entertain yourself a bit while you're both at it?
CONFIDANT / FOUND FAMILY [0/3] … you might not be the most social person, but that doesn't mean you're not good at making friends. given your selfless nature, you have done quite a few nice deeds for others and well, some of them went out of their way to return in kind. not only do you go out for drinks, but support one another when things get rough. there is an unspoken loyalty lying under the surface and you would never do anything to break it.
MENTEE [1/2] … having a decade of experience of being a reaper under your belt, you're quick to spot new potential in new members and help them settle in and excel. however, more than that, you found yourself unable to resist lending a hand to those that need it most. whether it's an encouraging word, a supportive pat on the back or even a look of acknowlegement - you've got them covered. … [ PARTIALLY TAKEN BY: ISA ACEVEDO ]
DRINKING PAL [0/3] … it's nice to wind down after an eventful day. it's even nicer to have good company to share a drink or two. they just happened to be there one day/night when you arrived and you've found yourself having a good time. it could be their out of the box insights, witty remarks, or simply shared stories of the past. you obsorb it all the same along with your liquor and hope to see them there the next time you'll show up.
SITUATIONSHIP [0/2] … one night stand? simple flirtationship? friends with benefits? matters in this regard can get quite messy quite quickly. you're not the best material for a ‘typical relationship’, but then again, are they? you swore to not get attached, but did they? how is that working out for you when you hesitate to delete their number after telling them you won't see them again? how do you feel after finding out that the person you ended up spending the night with is actually a new member of the reapers/diablos? safe to say, things aren't the best when it comes to the matters of the heart.
CLIENT @ THE QUAD [0/3] … despite your unwavering loyalty to the reapers, you are just as dedicated to your job as a trainer, ensuring your clients are always satisfied and their needs are met. whether it's adjusting their diet, creating a workout plan to build muscle, lose weight, just staying in shape or even self-defense - you're prepared to tackle any challenge that will present itself in your way.
HEADACHE [0/2] … you consider yourself quite a patient person. you've seen a diverse range of personalities during the years, but there are a few that somehow manage to send all the rest mild annoyances scurrying away with their tails between their legs. how on earth do they do that, you keep asking yourself. there is no way. and yet… they emerge victorious each time they manage to make you roll your eyes and sigh in frustration. they couldn't be more different than you, but you don't blame them for it. well, mostly. because as much as you try to tolerate them, they keep proving their undying persistence to get on your nerves for one reason or another. sometimes you wonder whether they hold a secret grudge against you or they simply enjoy to watch you suffer. either way, you can't seem to escape them for long. unfortunately.
RIVAL [0/3] … no matter where you look, there always seems to be at least one troublemaker. the type that live against the rules most of the time, if not all the time. it's almost like they are wired differently. or maybe they just want to take you down for one reason or another. it's never fully clear with their kind. you keep a watchful eye on them, but how prepared can you be for when they might strike? the obvious ones are easy to spot, however those that lurk in the shadows? they're the ones having you break a sweat.
BAD INFLUENCE [0/2] … you consider yourself a ‘methodical rebel’. the type that rebels according to the plan you yourself have came up with. with meticulous care and clear-defined goals. but there has always been that impulsive streak in you, the chaotic side that is simply itching to let loose and cause some damage. and, well, there are a few individuals who simply know how to crack the code and let the beast out. sneaking out on night runs? messing with some of diablos' equipment? knocking that irritating drunk out? say less. all you know, is that the next morning you always find yourself regretting allowing the bad influence to sway your judgement, no matter how ‘fun’ things felt at the moment of commiting any of those reckless acts.
ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS [OPEN] … have some ideas where you'd like to take our characters? angst? something spicy? would like to create a unique connection between our characters that is not yet mentioned in the connections list? or simply would like to create a new thread and test out the waters with chemistry? please, do not hesitate to DM me, i'd love to hear any and all ideas you may have!!!
