[/indent] [u][color=e6e8fa]History[/color][/u] [indent] The first disgrace of the Tepes Royal line, and the third of four children to represent the name. Kasania was born into a prosperous time for the Tepes family, the two eldest sons were excelling in their endeavors, the happy couple was coming into their own successes and the House was gaining a steady stream of followers. Though perhaps Kasania’s birth marked a change in times for them, or so Dmitri thought. Daughters, no matter how beautiful and talented, were of no political worth. They only adopted the names of their lovers and threw away the name of their father’s house, such would not do for a man who’s eyes were set on power. Through his frustrations Dmitri was... [i]hard[/i] on Kasania, to him she would have to earn her worth against insurmountable odds. So Kasania spent most of her childhood between mastering many arts and receiving even more punishments. The only “saving grace” she was allowed was the affections from her older siblings who adored having a little sister around. Only when the family had relocated from England to the rapidly growing city of New York in the early 1920s did Kasania see any sort of freedom. Though due to society’s view on woman she was more of a puppet master in the shadows, directing her brothers and assistants to success. This game carried on through the Great Depression where Kasania used their ancient wealth to get them thrust ahead in the society of the 1%, and through the Second war where they had invested into foreign and domestic manufacturing and engineering markets. With social movement rocking the United States after the close of World War II, Kasania was able to step out of the shadows and show her true ruthless nature in the matters of business. With no middle men, and the ability to control things to the finest detail she kept herself busy, as did the family, especially Dmitri who needed more male heirs to ascend to House Leader and then to king. Kasania cared not that when her little brother was born that he was fairer than the rest of them, she only cared that he was born. Elated to have a little brother she doted on him day and night, it only got worse as he got older and started getting into trouble. Though a lot of that trouble reminded Kasania of how things used to be for her as a kid under their father’s care, but from a mother who had never risen a hand to any of them. Soon enough, with enough snooping, Kasania caught the best part of an argument between her parents and learned about her father’s infidelity. Though, it was not that which had the girl bravely bursting into the room and demanding better for Niko. No, the tone, which dripped with venom and smugness, that her mother spoke in as she described how she had stolen away a part of Niko he never knew about enraged the usually calm girl. The years of striking deals, and manipulating situations to her benefit all came to play as she convinced her parents to leave Niko as her responsibility and vowed to keep what she heard that night a secret from even her beloved little brother. So, in 2020 Kasania carrries one too many dangerous secrets, that are bound to come out, hopefully the fires don’t burn too hot.

That was also the day the earth was gifted with all my awesome glory. I don’t have much to share about that day nor the days after that for the first few years of my life, but I’m sure they were hell. The Order does lots of testing and experiments on “their” children, gotta make those fearsome warriors. What I can tell you, is that my first vivid memory I can recall is the first time I got punched in face and blacked the fuck out. I was 6 and it was the first day of combat training in the Order, and holy shit was I not prepared. Honestly what 6 year old is ready? [i]Well[/i]… Myleah was prepared [b]obviously[/b]. I got my ass kicked for a good two years in the Order, between bad grades, shitty aim and constant black eyes, I’m what you would consider a [i] late bloomer[/i]. Come to think of it, my revulsion of failure probably comes from being such a loser for so long as a “kid”. (I use kid lightly because there was no childhood in the Order, our version of tag was covering my tracks and hiding from something that [i] really[/i] wanted to kill me, sounds fun, right? [sub]no[/sub].) Anyways, I eventually [b]stopped[/b] being a loser, *queue training montage of blood, sweat and tears*, and whooped Myleah’s ass back. Except... maybe went a little overboard? I don’t know, have you ever punched anyone before? It’s fucking riveting and I just blacked out, and next thing ya know two of the trainers have me held back and they’re taking Myleah out. [i]Whoops[/i]. Well that’s how I got the nickname “Oni”, or “Demon”, not very sexy if you ask me. From that moment I was unstoppable, I started at the bottom and now I’m here (at the top), [i]thanks Drake[/i]. I trained those whole 14 years to be the best, I trained until I felt like I was going to die and then I kept going. I must have been impressive (obviously I was, I was trying to be humble but... it tastes [i]bad[/i]) because I was accompanying licensed hunters on their assignments before anyone else. Let me tell you, training is [b]real[/b] fucking hard, but it’s nothing compared to experience, and I got my ass whooped [i]again[/i]. I’m not saying my ego was the reason, but I’m also not not saying it wasn’t the reason. Either way I almost got my throat ripped out by an angry feral, [s]fyi they’re always angry[/s], and for the first time felt actual fear? They’ll let you die in the Order, it’s the way of life there, if you’re too weak to survive in training then it’s SOL for you, but the real world is harder, more unpredictable than training, and it was scary. So, with my legs shaking in my boots, but my throat still intact I trained more, tagged along on more missions and “almost-died” less. I was getting the hang of things, ferals were no problem at this point, and I was moving up to the big leagues. Infiltration and intel gathering. The fun stuff. My first mission was involving a rogue group the Zeno House had let off their leashes that was causing too much havoc in Milan for the liking of the Order and the Human government. So I was sent, I saw and I killed them all. My success just led to more missions, my graduation came and went, and then I got an interesting contract for some witness protection work. Now, I’m living my “best life” in the city that never sleeps, waiting on tables, fucking vampires, and training the poor souls that want to become a hunter.

While he has more self-control and a bit more morality than his oldest brother, Stefano, Octavius is still a successful mobster at the core. From his years orchestrating and carrying out the deaths of his own family, friends, and role models, he's acquired quite an intimidating presence, much more so when he is truly angry. This presence demands respect from those of lesser lives and deters the smarter of fools from attempting to try to pull one over on Octavius. [/indent] [/indent] [u][color=#003BEB] History [/color][/u] [indent] The house of Zeno migrated to Italy in the close of the 15th century, where the then head of house remained in the shadows, leveraging the instability of the governments that came and went over the centuries. Almost two centuries later Giovanni came into power, finally, and led the house in a much more strategic manner. As the instability of foreign powers left many of the natural born Sicilians weak and hopeless, Giovanni organized groups of support, protection, and Rebellion. Years carried on with a mix of his family and those loyal to his name garnering support and strength in their numbers, waiting for the right time to strike. It wasn’t until the 1800s, after his eighth child, Octavius has been born that the Zeno’s finally made their move. Octavius grew up in a tense home, between the struggling of his siblings to look better than each other, his stepmother who was a nasty bitch and the strict, and merciless hand of his father, there was enough chaos to go around. Though perhaps his only saving grace in this hell hole was the weekends he spent in his mother’s estate in Milan. Oriana was a loving mother, a stark contrast to the world Octavius spent most of the time in. Where he was met with violence and darkness, his mother shone like the northern star on those dark nights. The eighth Zeno child learned all of his good qualities from his mother, she taught him the goods things of being a charming boy, about generosity, and being passionate about something that moves you. So in between two worlds, Octavius experienced a balance that was good for him. The harsh treatment from his older siblings and father were soothed away by the love of his mother. Though things shifted within the boy as the prominence of the underworld empire his father had diligently molded captured the interest of Octavius. The Underworld was in its infancy, money, employees, and customers were still to be established, and if he was anything at all at this time it was confident. Confident in skills, in the training and grooming he’d receive in the past 20 years and confident in his good looks. That confidence did him well and did the projects he was overseeing even better. By the time Sicily became apart of a unified Italy, the term Mafia had gained its new negative connotation, linked to extortion and other criminal activity. Octavius was part of the negotiations between the then Roman Officials and the leaders of the growing Mob, (minus Giovanni), that allowed the Mafia to run the streets of Sicily as they pleased as long as they aided in taking down dangerous independent criminal organizations running amuck throughout Italy. Octavius found himself in charge of this ‘witch hunt’, moving from his roots to one city and then to the next, clearing out the infestations of annoying pest, while his family expanded from extortion to drugs, prostitution and arms dealing and then onto political corruption, amassing an insurmountable well of power. The Mafia had gained the advantage they needed and wasted not a second in expanding their reach of influence all over Italy and into some neighboring European countries. Around the time his beloved little brother was born at the end of the 19th century, Octavius experienced a restlessness that set his sights on experiencing something new. After persuading his mother to move with him and an agreement to continue his work in the U.S., Octavius relocated bringing along his mother two younger siblings, and a handful of the most trustworthy men. The 1920s Prohibition was a perfect opportunity for the inspired Zeno man, smuggling in alcohol overseas led partying with public officials (to later blackmail them) which paved way for the growth and influence of the Mafia on American Soil. Octavius had experienced success again through his efforts, and in recent times has taken a step back from his active role in the Underworld and now spends his days chasing the tail of a certain princess, and keeping his friends out of the matters of his heart.
