Biography

Despite the family’s reputation and the work that they often did, Craig and Mary O’Connor loved all of their children.  They might not have always been around for every milestone or change every diaper, but they cared and that was the most important.  She was never pitted against her brothers and Salem never had any interest in tattling or getting them in trouble.  If anything, she was often right behind them trying to be involved with her brothers.  Sometimes it felt like Slater didn’t want her around, but Leo was always there.

When she got to school, leaving the comfort of her brothers and sister and cousins, it was noticed very quick that she didn’t play very well with the other kids.  She wasn’t one for sharing or waiting and was quick to fight when the other kids challenged her on it.  It was considered a good day if the teacher could keep her in her assigned seat and not the floor. Salem simply wasn’t one to do things the way they were expected of her and it continued as she got older.  She was constantly in trouble for something or another and once she got to middle school, it was decided they needed to try something else.

Rather than telling her to stop fighting in school, a martial arts instructor was found for Salem.  The first one they hired stormed out during the second session with plenty of words to describe her that weren’t very unprofessional. The second one didn’t either bother to show up for the second session, but the third time was the charm and luckily for her as her parents were about to give up.  He taught the hot headed wild girl how to control her emotions without telling her to repress them and how to put that energy into much more productive paths.

She learned to slow down and watch and learn before swinging a beautiful right hook because sometimes there was a more effective way of getting what she wanted.  Who was she to argue with less work?  Salem grew up and although the hair pin trigger temper is still there, there’s the smallest shine of polish over it now.  After high school, she stopped openly training and let people think that she had stopped completely while the truth was that she religiously continued in secret.  

No one needed to know her skill at first as long as the reminder was imprinted on them when she was done with them.  Her family and her team know the truth, but to the rest of the Strip, she had gone from an angry scrapper child to another rich woman in the bars.  She knows her job and she knows what it takes to be good at it, so she allows it but will not hesitate to remind them otherwise when she doesn’t think she needs them any longer.  Unlike Slater, she’s not as good as being charming and smoothing over any burnt bridges she leaves.

When it comes to acknowledging her physical limitations, she doesn’t have any issues. With her emotional issues however she continues to deny.   Salem will push herself to the limit in search of being the best while remaining completely loyal to her brother, putting her skills to use for him and the family.  Only once had she ever considered moving away.  It wasn’t because she wanted to be away.  She wanted something new and Leo quickly convinced her otherwise.

Biography

As a kid, he was raised on one of the most isolated places in the world even if it was also one of the most tropical.  The islands were all he knew.  His family didn’t have enough money to spare on the plane tickets to the mainland and vacations usually meant going to one of the other islands.  College was a dream that he didn’t waste time thinking about.  His parents would never be able to afford it and he would kill himself with debt trying.  

Books and studying had never been his thing and after he graduated high school, he went straight to work.  Khai put on weight quickly once he hit puberty and eventually got a job as a security guard at a strip club.  It was hardly a glamorous position and it wasn’t going anywhere.  The woman who would end up becoming his daughter’s mom would never have dated him seriously.  She was smart and beautiful and she went to the local university.

One night with her when she came home with him after they met in a club with a few drinks in their system was all it took.  He found himself a dad.  From the beginning, he was there for everything.  Every doctor’s appointment and lamaze class.  Khai was committed to it, but the mom wasn’t committed to him.  Once Kailani was born, she fought him for custody even though he would have been more than happy to share custody.

He blamed the boyfriend whom she had cheated on by sleeping with him.  It was like he wanted to manipulate her to use his daughter against him and it was a constant battle.  There was also some unexplained bruising When he moved into her house, Khai decided enough was enough.  He took his daughter away and used all of his money on a one way plane ticket for both of them.  They ended up in Vegas where it was easy to hide.

The only thing he had done before was being a bodyguard so that was the work that he found.  That’s how the Crane’s found him.  He started from the bottom working as a lowly man in one of their businesses.  Then mostly through luck of being in the right place at the right time, he proved himself to be useful to the family.  He was rewarded for his loyalty with a raise to the point he was able to get an entire house for him and his daughter.

Khai does the work and he does it without question.  He’s not a sadist who enjoys the shadier side of things and it’s not exactly a conventional career, but it’s what he’s good at.  Once he’s off the clock, he tries not to think about it too much and enjoy his life apart from the work.  He’s known for hosting barbecues in his backyard for the others that is super casual.  Keeping his two lives separate would be the easiest thing.

BIOGRAPHY

He should have known growing up that something wasn’t right, that a part of him wasn’t supposed to be apart of the family. He’d always felt out of place, he’d never been including like the rest of them. His mother was a beautiful woman, the only one he’d been able too talk too and really feel like he was apart of. 

For a young boy he was rather quick to pick things up such as numbers, gun work and statistics; he and his mother knew he had an ability that should have been harnessed. But even his mother begging his father to help him never happened. 

Eddie tried so hard to please his father every chance he got, his mother always giving him a look of sorrow. Tobias was praised constantly while Eddie watched on in confusion to what he was doing wrong. How could he be hated for wanting to please his father?

Although he loved his other siblings the envy ran thick. It wouldn’t be until later in his life that he’d get the answers that he was searching for and those came when everything in his world fell apart. He lost his mother. The family mourned, it was an illness that took her. It was quick but left no times for Eddie to really convey how much he loved her. How he wouldn’t understand living in that house without her. How he’d be hated every second of the day without having anyone to pull him back from the edge.

But finding out the truth really did throw it all into the ring. Because what came next really blew all of their minds. 

When his father died everything changed. 

He was not biologically his father’s son. 

It was while they sat in the room waiting to hear the will, that Eddie wished he’d known would be the last time he’d look at them as family. The will read, in short, everything be divided between his sister and Tobias. Leaving Eddie with a house in Hamptoms and a few small businesses that had never amounted to anything. Only his sister and Tobias were left the fortune, the enterprises, the multiple mansions, cars and the list went on. 

Eddie had put it down to tough love towards the end. But now he knew he was just never loved by his father and for that the fury ran deep. He went to the only person who he knew could help in; that was Slater O’Connor. 

And then the deal was done, and he signed his contract with the devil. 

PERSONALITY 

Eddie is a well-dressed man who likes to have control over pretty much every aspect of his life. Known for his brash sense of humour, quick witted and sarcastic remarks over whiskey and a need for women to want him. His love for art and literature is something that always kept him above the rest.

→ BIOGRAPHY

Lucinda Kingsman was that of a princess. Known to those around her as the woman who got everything she wanted but still sat upon her throne made by her late father. Born into a family that was what others would distinguish as one of the deadliest that ran through her hometown; Hudson, New Jersey.

Lucinda from the get go in her life was a woman who was very much the child that every mother hoped their child would not befriend. Known for being a brat who was spoilt and always got her own way never sat right with those around her. But of course with the name that her family had made for themselves meant that they let them run a riot without ever really disciplining the child. No one could pin anything on the family but those around knew that the business they were in was no where near legal. But the cops were in their pockets making their lives easier.

As a small child Lucinda had a love for carved wooden objects such as animals, people, dolls houses and anything that she could use around her room or the masses of land that the Kingsman family owned. So much so that her family allowed her to start attending classes within their household where she learnt how to make them herself; a possible new side business from their own child if they harnessed it correctly.

Throughout the years as she slowly grew from a child into a young woman and the family saw a change that they loved. She was a true Kingsman, loyal and family orientated. So much so that eventually she started working for her parents; it was the inevitable and she had longed for the day that she’d make her family proud by bringing in business and money for them. It was in her to be part of their lifestyle; she’d always wanted it. A true serial killer’s daughter, made of crooked money and dodgy deals.

Loyalty ran so deep through her that it would possibly bring her early demise; she would happily die for anyone within her family. But outside of that she held no allegiance to anyone, she did not believe in the need for human companionship outside of her circle.

It would be no shock to those who knew her well enough to know that there was something dark that ran through the petite dark haired girl. A narcissist with little to no emotion towards other people that came into her life. She saw people as dispensable and for her own personal use until she could dispose of them.

Blood lust also ran strong through her from the small age of fifteen; her favourite weapon a knife. Carving wood had gone and turned into the soft skin of people. The love to watch them squirm, the screams and begs to be set free. It was like she’d gotten a taste of evil and took as much of it as she could and created a monster; herself. People knew there was something off about the way she was with people. She began to delve deeper as she would kill people for fun, torture with just a knife changed, she would find ways to watch people die; even so much so delving into places like the dark web to cure her desires.

Some simply put it down the fact that she was spoilt and her family had done so in a way that meant she didn’t act normal, it was like she thought she could walk on water. But that was not it; there was a need to kill that scared some people around her that knew of her murderous tendencies.

Aged Nineteen was when the family broke the news to her; they had arranged for her to date a man of the families choice; they wanted her to do this so they could land a good deal for the business in trading; assassination. It was like someone had told her they were taking a child’s play things away, a full blown tantrum was thrown by Lucinda as realisation hit her that she was simply a business deal. Although treated to everything she wanted through life, there were things even she had to do that she hated more than anything. So she agreed.  

When agreeing Lucinda has felt a little out of sorts; having to spend time with someone she could really care less about and she is pretty sure they don’t even like her either. It was family business after all; he was in the same boat. Family dinners were awkward but she had one person in her life that made everything better. His name was Jameson and although she never romantically liked him, she did grow to like him as a person. 

It was a shame she didn’t have more time to get to know him. 

But that didn’t prepare her for the murder of her parents. A job gone grown tore her world apart in seconds, and if Lucinda knew anything it was that if she didn’t get out of here she’d be the lose end they were tying up. So she ran. And she kept running until she set foot in one of the best places she could ever have imagined to re-start her life.

Las Vegas, Nevada.

It was here that she met Tobias and Salem and maybe, just maybe her life was going to get better than it had been before. Maybe, by working for these they’d offer her security and show her exactly what she could have more than what she didn’t have.

It was that moment that Lucinda became a Crane. 

→ PERSONALITY SUMMARY

Throughout the years Lucinda has maintained her sassiness, insensitivity, independence, pride, selfishness, and sense of self-preservation. Lucinda was an extraordinarily beautiful and seductive young woman: she had an oval face with fine bone structure, a wealth of brown curly hair, and almond-shaped, deep woodland hazel eyes with thick dark lash

Lucinda is someone who rarely manages to find people she likes unless its for her own personal gain. With little to no qualities except for her vast intelligence and ability to become a chameleon in her surroundings, she was the perfect imitator. With a mind like silver she remembers pretty much everything she hears or sees, and uses it to aid her with her jobs. But there are a few people she does consider to be worthy. Lucinda is someone however who does dream of more for her life, there are times she wishes; but they’re fleeting.

When the door bell rang at two am, Khai wasn’t even bothered by the time since he had already been awake.  He got up for where he had been sitting on the couch with his beer that had been slowly getting warm in his large hand and shut the TV off.  It wasn’t anything interesting anyways.  Just something to do to relax after getting home and he was more curious about who was coming around this late at night.

People came to see him for a lot of different reasons and the Crane’s didn’t always care what time it was.  Had this been for a job though, he would have gotten a call so he knew it wasn’t that.  His daughter was off somewhere with friends and the house was empty except for him, but that didn’t scare him.

It was impossible to be nervous about an intruder when he was as large as he was.  There was a better chance it was a friend or someone he knew.  When he opened the door, sure enough his guess was correct.  He moved out of the doorway and gestured with his beer in an invitation to enter the house. “Come on in.” He didn’t ask why they were here first.  They would tell him when they wanted to.
