Jay has a lithe build and the subtle form of man who takes care of his body but doesn't make a sport of it. He's healthy, eats well and regularly works out thanks in part to his father's stressing a taste of the military life. His clothes are usually neutral and dark. Black jeans most days and blue jeans or khakis the rest. When he's not in a shirt, he's in a button up and when he's not in a button up, he's got himself a sweater and a leather jacket.[/indent][/indent][hr][center][color=DBA901]W H O A M I[/color][/center][hr][indent][color=DBA901][sub]Q U I R K S :[/sub][/color] [list][*]Wide Smile [*]Good Will [*]Low Key [*]Early Bird [*]Right Handed [*]Drive Stick [*]Excellent Swimmer[/list] [color=DBA901][sub]D R E A M S :[/sub][/color] [indent]Make his own shadow instead of living under one.

The three go hand in hand, feeding off one and consuming the other. Three points on a circle that can never stop spinning with Jay at the center. His father is head of "Sterling Group", the largest Private Military Company in the world. Based out of the US, the company has offices dotting the globe and contracts with the world's leading military. His mother is the founder of "Swan Song", an Outreach group specializing in countries torn apart by war. Missions typically reach out to the same countries Sterling Group is stationed for obvious reasons: People need to suffer before you can offer relief. That is the foundation for the Sterling Family's fortune. A religion that believes in one truth: War pays for people and people pay for relief from war. This is the life Jay is born into. At age three, Jay learned early on that his parents would never be around. They traveled constantly, his father's work taking him to countries at war and his mother to the same countries after they'd torn themselves apart. Like clockwork the two of them were. When one was home, the other was away and vice versa. They seldom had meals together, rarely spent time together as a family and only on occasion would they come together in support of their son. They just never had the time and as Jay moved away from the life of a toddler to that of a quickly growing child, he would come to realize that time is forever short. Age six and the Sterling family of three became a family of four. It baffled Jay if he was to be honest. [color=ffffff]"When did they find the time to make me a sister?"[/color] Kara "Kay" Sterling would be the newest addition to the Sterling Family and with work ever calling the parents away, they would need to hire a caretaker. Enter Ben Wallace. Ben would become the closest the two children would come to an ever present father figure. Not that their actual parents were horrible people. They genuinely loved their children but were simply never home at the same time. Ben was loyal, caring, a confident for Jay whenever he was having a shit day. He would took care of Kara and look after Jay for the foreseeable future. At nine years of age, his father and mother took time away from work, for the first time ever, to connect with a son and daughter they wanted to get to know them better. They did this... by slowly introducing their work to them. Jay started at the shooting range, was quickly moved on to self defense, and finally received an in depth look into the history of war and the role his father and mother played in it. Kara mostly just spent time with mom. By the time Jay turned 12 and Kara 6, he'd pull the trigger on every gun his father owned, could successfully disarm someone swinging a knife in his face and could name every country Sterling Group and Swan Song had visited and what they'd accomplished there. It was a lot to take in for a budding teen but it was also the lessons that would come to define who he wanted to be... and it was definitely not his parents. The Sterling Family would eventually move to Beverly Hills as Jay crested into his 15th year. He'd finish off the last couple months of his Freshman year at BHHS, brushing off skills as a software engineer he'd picked up from anther school and signed up to join the Water Polo team for the following year. Although not exactly trying to be incognito, he didn't really ending up on anyone's radar. His Sophomore year however was very different. He quickly learned that High School was simply another war that needed to be fought and BHHS was ground zero. Cliques, social ladders, those teens who excelled and those teens who lived off the back of others. This all seemed rather familiar and something he wholeheartedly wanted to avoid. The best way to do that? His father would tell him to help [i]someone[/i] win the war and bring it to an end. The rest of the year was spent learning the different sides and picking his way carefully through it. At the top of the ladder were the HOT girls and opposite them was well... no one. He'd learned that years ago there had been a group of guys who'd banded together by chance and had stood up against their predecessors, The Unholy Trinity. The legends. The Elites. All believed to be myths up until Damien O'Connor. Word was he planned to make a comeback and Jay knew all too well what happens when you help someone in a war and when you also help those affected by it. If he played his cards right, the outlook for his Junior year? Profit. But is that really what he wanted to do?

Tim is stern but fair, passionate and strong, a leader and a fighter through and through. In his younger years he'd figuratively and literally bled for the red white and blue, earning a purple heart in the wars of the middle east after taking a bullet in the chest. He went on to take part in the conflict against North Korea in the aftermath of the second Cold War and the following skirmishes with neighboring territories thereafter. Never quite able to leave a life as a warrior behind, he went on to found Sterling Group, enlisting a number of men from his special forces unit to create the ground floor. His company took off rather quickly thanks in part to years of experience on and off the field and in time, he was able to purchase some of the competition.[/indent] [color=DBA901][sub]H A N N A H S T E R L I N G :[/sub][/color] [indent]Mother of Jay and Kara and founder of Swan Song. Hannah met Tim when she was on outreach under a different company name with a specialization on getting their soldiers whatever they needed. Their love story is nothing to swoon over. They met and they clicked. After a couple of heated nights spent in the same bed, they eventually decided that they wanted the other... forever. The decision to step away from her previous employers and start her own company was in response mostly to the fact that her husband was always on the move and not always where the rest of her soldiers were. She wanted to keep an eye on him but also wanted to continue to help those in need. Swan Song offered her both. The ability to travel to worn torn countries, to help those effected by the war and make sure Tim wasn't getting himself in over his head. The donations from people and government alike are enough to keep her operation going and then some.[/indent] [color=DBA901][sub]K A R A S T E R L I N G :[/sub][/color] [indent]Daughter of Tim and Hannah and younger sister of Jay. Kara is a force all her own. Smart and collected like the rest of her family and wise beyond her years, she's cut out her own niche in her school and plans to do the same when she finally enrolls in BHHS. At night and at the center of another wold entirely, Kara is a celebrity having found success in the robust ESports scene. She's managed to keep her two lives separate and very few in the real world know who she is online, her brother being one of them.[/indent] [color=DBA901][sub]B E N W A L L A C E :[/sub][/color] [indent]Longtime caretaker and butler to the Sterling family.
