hector gonzalo aguilar | 25 years old | male & hetero | devil's marauders | solider
Hector is not the first sad orphan boy to be raised in the streets of L.A., nor is he the last. He has no memories before being found trembling between garbage containers behind a restaurant downtown at age five, without anything to track him back to his real family. He bounced from foster home to foster home, fighting with his foster siblings or stealing from the foster parents or the neighbors. Hector figured very quickly that he was no one's son, and not one of his foster families seemed interested in making him a part of their family.
Hector always had a fascination with cars. When he was younger he thought he would get out of the streets and become a racer, with all the money and women that that entailed. Once he was tall enough to reach the pedals, he began to drive. Of course he didn't have a car himself, which is why he began to steal them, never to keep them of course, but just to have the rush. His practice was quickly noted by a member of the Marauders, who began to pay him to drive product around the city. He was fourteen when he jumped with the Devil's Marauders, and he's been climbing up ever since.
Hector knows he can do much more than simple dealing and moving product around. He's been with the Marauders long enough to make a reputation of himself as an unbeatable street racer and irresistible charmer. The cars on his garage, deals on his belt, and women on his bed are there to prove it. The street racing is more for himself than for the gang really, as he finds the thrill exhilarating. But his charm and sales skills have also gotten him far, and he doesn't doubt he'll be in the higher ups sooner rather than later.

kira alexandrovna volkov | 24 years old | female & hetero | tsiolkovskaya bratva | president
Growing up in Voronezh in the family bakery sounds like a peaceful and uneventful life, but Kira's family was anything but peaceful. The Volkovs are direct descendants of the original owners of the Tsiolkovskaya bakery, and when the bakers changed to more illegal occupations they used their skills in bakery as a front. As the eldest Volkov, Kira grew up learning how to bake sweet goods and shoot a rifle in tandem.
From her days in Russia she proved herself to be a talented strategist and ambitious leader. She shadowed her father and trained in weapons and hand to hand combat, her friends were her mentors and other high ranking members of the Bratva. She didn't really have what you would call a normal childhood, but then again, she really isn't a normal girl. When you are the heir of a massive weapons enterprise, there is no time for a normal life. As she started growing up she grew curious of what life would be like outside the Bratva, and as a teenager began to be reckless, escaping home, partying and drinking and sleeping around. It was in those escapades that she met who she thought was the love of her life. It got to a point where she was ready to drop everything and leave the Bratva for him. She would have, if her father hadn't interfered. And so Kira was left with a broken heart.
Kira threw herself into the Bratva after that. She continued her training, learned English, Armenian, German, and Kazakh. She became the best sharpshooter, an excellent fighter, a brutal enforcer, and a expert arms dealer. She drowned all her anger and melancholy, maintaining her focus on the goals of the organization. This is what she was meant to do, and she became the best at it.
She began to research the United States as a possible point of expansion, but she never thought her father would ask her to lead the Bratva to Los Angeles. Not that she wasn't ready, but this time she wouldn't just be a second in command, she would be in complete control of the operations in the city. As soon as she arrived she began to invest in the real estate business, of course starting with a bakery that would hide their headquarters. Kira was quick to meet the residing gangs and make friends with as many as she could, which wasn't hard with her quick wit and way with words. She wanted to learn as much about them as possible, to be a dealer you have to know your clientele. She quickly realized of the feuds in town, and the gears are turning in her mind. Because what's the best time for business for a weapons dealer? Well a war of course.
