THE RAVEN'S
In the heart of District Twelve, there's a family, neither Seam nor Merchant, that's turned the underbelly of their hometown into something profitable.
They run whatever they can get their hands on, though there's no doubt that their main concern tends to veer towards trade. They sell drugs in the form of medicine bottles, bottles of liquor that you can only get from outside district—you want it, they'll make sure you get it. None of that shitty moonshine they make down in the dark alleys in the Seam, none of that too-expensive watered down drug they sell in the Black Market.
And these kids? These are the people who get it.
These aren't the ones who work in their little storefront, selling hair bows and bushels of dried flowers. They aren't the ones who sell the pretty little luxuries that they use to justify having their storefront off the Square. These are the people who slit men's throats when they don't get them the goods that they need. These are the people who sit among the shadows like ghosts, listening to the stories that men tell in the nighttime when they think that they're safe from listening ears. These are the keepers of the District's secrets, the ones that can swindle you out of everything that you have ever worked for.
Innocent looking kids, capable of terrible things.
Killers and thieves, and proud.

aka one mr. james monaghan collected a group of people willing to do the dirty work involved with running the underbelly of district twelve, and along the way there's a whole lot of found-family dynamics to go along with the actual messy family dynamic of the monaghan's themselves. the characters are vaguely based on six of crows, if you couldn't tell xx
✦
the sharpshooter
(open for audition)
You're incredibly good-natured, there's no doubt about it, but you're also something of a loose cannon. You're reckless, a compulsive gambler, but you would die for your friends and the entire gaggle of them all know it. You come bearing the absolute best of intentions, but sometimes you can be loose-lipped, can make the wrong call, and it often comes back to bite you in the ass if your friends aren't there to deal with the fallout. He has no control, you once heard someone whisper, and you've been anxious about it ever since.
note: face claim should be poc.
the charmer
(open for audition)
You blossomed early, and you've spent years taking advantage of that fact. You look like you belong at the helm of a ship from before the Dark Days, like you were born to lead ships through storms. You are a girl of indulgence, someone who likes things the exact way she likes them. Your charm knows absolutely no bounds, could wriggle a secret out of anyone that you tried.
note: face claim should be plus-size.
the wayward
(taken by ryan)
You're a gangly little thing, and everyone loves to underestimate you. The merchants' son, struck out in a phase of rebellion, but you left home and a day later Jamie was walking up to you, offering you a position under his wing. It hasn't exactly been a warm and cozy welcome, but he's kept you around, said that you're worth something. You know that you're too considerate, too innocent still, haven't seen enough, that you know more about writing music than you do the taste of violence. But you're willing to learn, and so far, that seems like enough.
the secret keeper
(taken by sidney)
No one ever sees you, and that is your greatest power. You can slip in and out of shadows without being seen, hear things that no one else in the entire District should be able to hear. You scale walls, run across roofs, hang on windowsill ledges and learn. And you report back. Your morals are strange, perhaps, but absolute, unwavering, and your loyalty will always, always be to yourself above all else. Jamie brought you into his circle of criminals, promised you a life serving your own goals, promised that the second you were ready to leave
note: face claim should be poc.
the convict
(taken by darren)
The Peacekeepers son, the disgraced trainee. That's who you are, and you'll never be able to live it down. One of those few in Twelve who go to the training academy, your father was so proud, so excited, couldn't wait for you to follow in his footsteps, and then one girl came along and ruined everything. And you let her. [The Charmer] came in and swept your entire world out from under you, and they kicked you out of the Academy for it. So now you're here, bound at the feet of the Monaghans, trying to make a life for yourself, completely unrecognizable to everything that you once knew. But they turned you into a disgrace, so a disgrace you'll be.
the con man
(taken by kaitlin)
The leader of the pack, you're the one who brought all of these different souls together. You recruited each other them, gave them a place where they could be their most honest selves, and you've never been prouder of something in your entire life. Not, of course, that you'd ever show it or let them know. You are ruthless, and cold, and completely incapable of expressing emotions; you manipulate people as easily as you breathe air, and almost as often. The District knows that even though Juliet is in charge of the family, you are the hands of the operation, the one that gets things done. No matter the cost.
original characters
(open for audition)
I understand that only five open characters for audition might seem a little low, so I also wanted to offer the option for you all to create someone entirely original if you would like. Lower tier drug runners, people who help Jamie and the other Monaghan's to run their little business. Maybe they're card dealers at an underground game run by the family—whatever you can think of, I'd love to hear about it! This is also a great place for enemies of the family.
