History: Proffesionally a world-class architect, Richard has worked inside the law all his life, the only he crossed the law was with a parking ticket. However, when his wife Lola fell ill with a terminal malignant tumour in her lungs, he resorted to crime to gain the money to employ scientists to find a cure. He managed to pull off a few bank robberies and scams, but now he is falling into debt as the research continues. He now finds himself with a last chance to save his wife's life, and his own from loan sharks coming to collect. He has contacted some of the greatest criminals around the world, promising a hefty 5 trillon dollar share to those who accept his challenge.

Personality: A rather compassionate man, but is very reckless to protect his wife. He is patient and fair, which can sometimes be his downfall when he isn't strict enough. Richard bottles up his feelings from the others, because he doesn't want to show weakness as the leader. Full of experience and intellect, Tyler knows what he is doing, and these are his key strengths.

Other: Tracked by loan sharks, so watch out, they may appear. Really likes Johnny Cash, so he will often play his music.

Stone Cold.jpg (5.96 KiB) Viewed 401 times

History: Dmitri is the quintessential citizen of the former Soviet Union. A former KGB agent, Dmitri served the Kremlin in covert activities across the USSR, from the Berlin Wall to the edge of Siberia. Dmitri still upholds the Soviet ideals even after thirty years, and believes that, by bringing the 'Capitalist Octopuses' to their knees, he will show the world that Communism is still as powerful now as it was during the height of the cold war.

Personality: Dmitri is frequently rude, rejecting ideas purely on the basis of who is making them. He is increasingly paranoid about the west, and has become a violent criminal, seeking retribution against those he sees as responsible.

Up for love: 'Only with strong Communist woman'

I'll post profile for field man later today. =)

Name: Izabel Elout

Gender: Female

Age: 20

Nationality: Russian

Position: Field Man

Appearance: (Pictures allowed)

Spoiler

History: (Include criminal activities before hand, family, and motivations for the heist) Izabel lived with her mother, father and older brother for most of her life. When she was younger, her dream was to be a famous actress, so her parents (who had a little more money that the average person) paid for all kinds of acting, singing, dancing and language lessons. Everyone said that she had a natural talent. At 14, her parents died in a "car accident", her bother inherited all the money. He started Gambling and drinking. Soon they had nothing left. Her brother started to barrow money from anyone who would loan him some. He was quickly up to his neck in debt. On night collectors came to the house to get her brother. She was not willing to loose another family member, so she promised to pay it back for him. They accepted the offer. She started coning and stealing just to pay them back. It was never enough. With this heist she is hoping to pay off everything and be free of the collectors.

Personality: (Include weaknesses and strengths) Many would describe Izabel as cold, manipulative, athletic, and a brilliant actor. Izabel can change her appearance, accent, and personality to fit to someone else so she can go undercover. She is quick-witted and clever, able to come up with stories and answers on the spot. She almost always is able to find an escape root. She is also very loyal to her friends, and would give her life to save on of theirs. She is friendly toward her friends, and would never con them (unless she had to). Her weakness is her brother and kids.

Other: (Up for love? Etc.) She is up for love. She also has a vast majority of wigs and outfits (she steals these). Anything to change her appearance. She always sends money away to the collectors.

Name: Lucas Starbrooke

Gender: Male

Age: 21 (looks 19)

Nationality: American

Position: Explosives

Appearance: Lucas is quite scrawny, with messy blondish-brown hair and wild blue eyes. He's average height, around 5'7'', with slight muscle tone.

Spoiler

Something like this... http://www.google.com/imgres?start=79&hl=en&biw=1366&bih=651&gbv=2&addh=36&tbm=isch&tbnid=rmLottTZ3mZNaM:&imgrefurl=http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-87904102/stock-photo-young-crazy-guy-in-a-black-t-shirt-isolated-over-white.html&docid=lbxYlCF33yUyeM&imgurl=http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/744046/744046,1320173480,67/stock-photo-young-crazy-guy-in-a-black-t-shirt-isolated-over-white-87904102.jpg&w=450&h=319&ei=2MBfT8XsC4npgAewwbHzBw&zoom=1

History: Lucas first discovered his talents when he was thirteen by rewiring his stepfather's car to explode remotely. No one was injured, but his family took caution. At fifteen, Lucas blew his first building, killing one person and injuring several others. He was tried and found guilty, but escaped custody before inprisonment, leaving his mother, stepfather, and nine year old sister behind. At sixteen, he ended up too close to one of his explosions and was knocked in the head pretty hard, causing new problems for him. Since then, he's been searching for a group to use his talents, and one with a chance at some serious cash wouldn't be so bad either...

Personality: He's paranoid, severely paranoid - his main weakness. After the explosion he caught, he started hearing things and eventually leveled up to clinically schizophrenic, another weakness. But his memory is sharp and his knowledge of explosives is broad, his strengths.

Other: Doubt he's up for love, but you can try. Lucas always carries around a bag containing whatever he needs to create a quick explosion and knows where to get more if need be.

Name: Korey Doseck

Gender: Male

Age: 29

Nationality: English

Position: Driver

Appearance:

Spoiler

Character.jpg (55.12 KiB) Viewed 364 times

History: Born into a abusive family, life was hard for Korey. One day he decided to get back at his parents by trying to hotwire their brand new Bentley. He succeeded by mere chance then drove off in it. He crashed it and got a barrage of beatings for a long time after. As he was growing up, he had a affinity with technolgy, more precisly car mechanics. As of now, aged 29, he has yet a car that he cannot hotwire.

Personality: A silent man who says only what is worth saying. He is very patient and is very unorthodox with his tactics refering to getting in and out of places using his abilities as a hotwirer and a driver. He isn't afraid to speak his mind and tries to tell the truth whenever he can.

Name: Dominic Benton

Gender: Male

Age: 58

Nationality: English

Position: Genius

Appearance: (Pictures allowed)

Spoiler

History: (Include criminal activities before hand, family, and motivations for the heist)

Dominic was the mastermind behind the previous GBF Centre heist attempts of 1979 and '87, which failed terribly. After a long jail sentence, which twisted his mind a little, to say the least, Dominic is more determined than ever, reluctantly joining this team for one last attempt. Weary of the job, Dominic is really just looking to get it done- his first attempt was as a dynamic go-getter, a newby to the criminal world, and yet he still came this close to getting that fat lot of prize money. He is certain he won't fail again.

Personality: (Include weaknesses and strengths)

Genius levels of intelligence, of course, but shows little arrogance to that fact- his slight narcissistic qualities only unveil themselves when someone is being stupid. He is incredibly analytical, often degrading banks and so on that make his job of stealing money too easy; he loves a challenge. Dominic is a robber, not a fighter, so is usually found in the team van, sending advice through headpieces and making idle conversation with Hackers and Drivers.

On this job, however, he may feel obliged to get down and dirty with the rest of the team, for ol' times sakes- the GBF Centre does mean quite a lot to him, after he was robbed of its big score.

Other: (Up for love? Etc.)
Dominic was married; a fantastic woman named Sherry; with no life insurance. She was cut down by the mob he was working with, deprived of his pay and kicked out on his ass- the drugs run he was operating was busted. So he left crime to join crime- a career move the was, in his words, "lacking in originality, but reeking of success." This is what led him to the GBF Centre, this is what led him to jail.

So no, Dominic is not up for love.

What he is up for, leaves something to be desired- he has not loved a woman since, but he's certainly "loved" some women over the years, years that Dominic feels should stop- he's 58, and far too old for one night stands.
