Background

Build - Small and Athletic Ethnicity - African-American Education: BS - Major in Business, Minor in Computers Religion: Nominally Christian

Daniel Masters was a dedicated Firefighter, and lost his life in 1995, dying in a fire. Daphne teaches 3rd grade, and always hoped her daughter would be a little more like her, and a little less like her father. She secretly fears her daughter is a lesbian, and what would she do, then?

Uncle Joe Walt is was a career soldier, drafted in 1970, serving in Vietnam, and retiring in 2000. He grew up on the same street as Daniel Fitzpatrick, attended school together, were drafted together, but Daniel left the Army as soon as he could, married his sweetheart Daphne Parks, and started a family. His first and only child, born after a series of miscarriages, was not the son he had hoped for, but he named her Josephine, regardless, and always called her Joe.

Joe turned to Uncle Jesse as a substitute father when he came home in 2000. Attending Wayne State University on a Track scholarship, Joe worked nights and weekends with Uncle Jesse, helping him set up his shop and, later, shooting range. After graduation, she took a job full time in his shop. Since, she has begun buying her way into a partnership, with the intention that she take over when he retires.

She still runs regularly, rides a high performance motorcycle, and loves the smell of gun oil.

Friends and Family

Family

• Daphne Wilson Masters: Mother - a veteran elementary teacher and widow, Daphne is better off than most would assume. She owns her house outright and has a tidy little nest egg to retire on. She lives quietly in the house her husband was born in and considers moving to be an impossible proposition. Instead, she tries to build and maintain as much community in her neighborhood as she can. She is well aware of the violence in the city, and is quietly glad her daughter is a gun nut.
• Kiara Wilson Reed: older cousin Kiara is the oldest girl of my generation on my mother's side. She has 4 kids, and thinks that babies and a strong man are a woman's calling. She got married to the father of her last three kids. The first child's father wasn't interested in a family and dumped her when she didn't get an abortion. She takes great pleasure in extracting all the child support from him that she can get.
• Angel Wilson: cousin Angel is a savvy businesswoman, a purveyor of affordable goods. She neither, ah, acquires the goods herself, nor sells them. Instead, she is something like a distributor. She can hold them until the, ah, market cools down, but takes a bigger cut if she does. So far as I know, she deals in goods originating in corporations, not from folk or small businesses. I don't buy from her, nor sell her goods, though she has purchased from me a time or two. I won't say she was pleased to have it on the record, but that is the price of business in my store, and she knows it.

Friends

• Joe Walt: Honorary Uncle details
• Shani: Running Partner details
• Stefan Walker: in-the-closet gay boyfriend Stefan isn't out with his family. He is kinda like a cousin, but he is a step-son, so there is no blood relationship. He uses me as cover when he needs a girlfriend and I do the same when cousin Kiara, the brood mother, decides I need to settle down and make babies.

Coworkers

• Javier Chavez: Clerk Javier is a part-time clerk. Along with his brother Jose, he fills in the hours that Joe and I can't take. Born here in Detriot, he is married, with a baby on the way. His wife, Maria Jose, was born in Argentina and is still learning English. He is smooth-talking, fluent in English and Spanish, and very proud.
• Jose Chavez: Clerk Jose is sweet, shy, and courteous. He opens doors for women, sings in a warm baritone, and talks very little. He doesn't have a girlfriend, and his brother sometimes wonders... but no. Of course not. So far as I can tell, he is just shy, but who knows?
• Madison Kent: Deliveries Madison is a high school drop out. Just turned 19, she got the job with my supplier just over a year ago. She is strong, white, butch, and as strait as can be. She might have a crush on Jose, but he seems oblivious and she doesn't seem to regret it too much, as she is not lacking in boyfriends. Still, she always has a word for him, and seems to make deliveries when he is here.

Lifestyle

A description of your characters day to day life.

• Money: Carries a moderate amount of cash, a credit card with a low limit, and a debit card.

• Communication: iPhone.
• Food: Protein Power Shake in the morning, lunch at a local diner or Chinese joint, dinner with Mom in the evening. Usually crock pot cooking or other make-ahead foods. Unless I eat out. Which I don't a lot, because that involves being out with people after dark and usually involves alcohol.
• Housing: Lives with mom in a house she owns, near the elementary school.
• Days: Jogging in the morning, work during the day. Training when she is not too busy. Weekends usually involve something sporty, gunny, or family-y.
• Evenings: Dinner with mom. Sometimes goes out with friends, but prefers to do that on the weekends. Prefers to be home by dark.
