Yours is a story of inheritance.

While you may not come from literal royalty, that doesn't mean you aren't entitled to a throne. It may not be recognised, as such, but you were born with the all the power of the world in the palm of your grubby little hand.

But growing up in a criminal syndicate hasn't always been easy. There have been times where you falter, where you hesitate to fulfill the don's orders because try as you might, you're not the hardened villain everyone believes you to be. You know where you belong, on the throne of Verona, but the question still remains.

Are you willing to step up and do what it takes to reclaim your long-lost crown? Or will you submit, subjecting yourself to a life of mediocrity?

Yours is a story of pain.

It may not have always started that way, but it's now something that sticks with you, lingers in your life in a way that feels constant ever since you leave home.

Your pain starts as a dull ache brought on by homesickness and confusion. A lack of familiarity that drives you to feel as out of place as you are, but new work with the Montagues and the people that come with it become a drug that seems to dull that pain. And you're quite hooked on it.

Little by little, you feel like the more you make use of this drug, the brighter life is. The new things you do, the thrill that comes with them, and the love of the power inebriate and lessen that ache in your heart to the point where it hardly feels there... At least, that's how it was when you still had everything at your fingertips.

It started with the loss of your mental stability because of how used to your drugs you were becoming. Then losses started to become external. You started losing allies, your steady position and income, and it wasn't until you finally lost the last bit of happiness you could hold onto that no drug could appease your pain. It hurt and it hurt so much.

Your pain will be constant and remind you just as often of how much you've lost as you've aged, but you'll still be hopeful because you'll still have people that will lift you up and help that pain feel out of reach again. Sometimes, you'll wonder just how long it will be before you lose absolutely everything or even give it all away, but the point of life is to live it, isn't it?

Yours is a story of solutions.

Behind every argument, every duel, lies the mediator- the fixer, if you will.

This wasn't the life you would have chosen for yourself but your loyalty, your love for your family triumphs your personal desires; you will do whatever it means to keep them safe, whether that means forging ahead to negotiate a treaty or work as an ambassador on behalf of the don with other criminal organisations.

Even if it does earn you the ridicule from the more... Volatile personalities of the family.

There is not much of a story to a mediator but there is one that is behind in the shadows, of smoke and gunfire, of spiced whiskey and flirty smirks.

You haven't come across a problem you couldn't solve peacefully with words, but that is about to change. Is it foolish to insert yourself in the affairs of those above? Perhaps.

But if you can stop at least some of the bloodshed to be spilled... Doesn't that make it worth it?

Yours is a story of duty.

But you were never really interested in it, were you? At least not until you met him.

You come from a semi-influential family that has resided in Verona for centuries, but ever since you were a young girl, money has been tight. Nothing lasted forever and your family has been desperate to claw themselves out of the ever-growing mountain of debt that seems to chase them.

Salvation came in the rotted hands of the Montague family; stability, protection, they promised, for her compliance and her hand.

That was the deal. Your hand in marriage to the future don of the Montague family. You stood by, with gritted teeth, as your father signed over the rights to your life to somebody that you had never even met. You did everything you could to get out of the deal short of pressing a gun to your forehead.

When the dreaded day finally arrived, after all these years, you finally met your fiance.

And he was nothing like you expected.

Yours is a story of envy.

Unwanted child. Illegitimate child. Bastard child. Your earliest memories of childhood are stained with contempt-filled gazes, lips stretched into sneers, critical judgement over your birthright. Or rather, your lack thereof.

You are the eldest child of the Grand Duke of ___ but that means nothing when your mother was nothing but a lowly maid, cast out the second she gave birth to you. It seemed that the age old hatred towards illegitimate children still thrived in noble households like as yours and, as such, you grew up with neglect.

Everything that should have been yours was passed onto your younger sibling just because they were born to the right woman. You'd never experience what it would be like to be revered, adored, loved by your family and subjects.

Jealousy can be such a strong emotion for a child and yours has persevered throughout the years.

Yours is a story of debauchery.

What is this obsession with power? You've never felt the desire like others have, preferring to tag along when it seemed beneficial to you or it seemed like the most entertaining option. Even as a young child, you've always been drawn to the wilder sins in life; ignoring all your day to day duties in favour of letting loose for a little bit of fun.

But all fun must come to an end.

Through various means that you can't quite remember yourself anymore, you've found yourself indebted to men and women who take life just a little bit seriously. And try as you might, you know that your carefree attitude is more likely to get your hand cut off. You can't say that you mind terribly much, as you're now in a position to do what you want, when you want, with little to no consequences.

But when the party finally comes to a close, will you stick around for the clean up or will you have disappeared into the long, dark night?

Yours is a story of cowardice.

You've always been seduced by the thought of power but never have you cared much for the responsibility that came with it. An easy life is all you've ever dreamed of, one where you could sit around, stuffing your face with the most decadent foods each day, ordering servants to your every whim, and isn't that what being king is all about?

But worry not, for others have noticed your reluctance to participate in this grand game of chess.

There's no hesitation on your end when the deal of a lifetime falls onto your lap; power without responsibility. Open your home to a few key individuals and everything you've ever wished for will come true.

And who are you to say no to that?

Yours is a story of pride.

And what you'll do to uphold it. You've always been ashamed of your brother. Ashamed of the embarrassment he brings to your family, of the lecherous and weak-willed behaviour he exhibits, of the fact that you couldn't have just been born first.

You've always known, deep in your spirit, that your brother was never the right candidate for the throne. Not like you. You are strong, confident, you have a will of iron, you can do what needs to be done to see your country thrive. But you'll never get that chance. Especially not now that your king has allowed serpents into your fortress.

There was nothing more you could do than watch the Montague family seduce and ensnare your brother in their trap; promising position security, power, fulfillment of every desire in exchange for a little monetary control. You sat, seething to the brim, as your home was brought to a pathetic low.

What are you to do when the offer to kill your brother is laid out in a gilded letter? Do you ignore it, continue to live in hostile rage? Or do you take it and sign your soul over to the devil?

Yours is a story of forthcoming.

A childhood such as yours could not be anymore tragic. A drunkard for a father, an enabling narcissist of a mother, it was honestly a miracle that you managed to get out of that house as you did.

But even though you were able to leave, you still carry the scars, physical and mental, from your childhood. You'll never look at fire the same way again.

For a while, you thought that all you needed was a change of pace, and you found that in a travelling circus; where you met the two men whom you once considered brothers. But even the vibrant spandex of the performers and the daily ingestion of cotton candy did nothing to sweeten the anger deep within you. Try as you might, you could never let go of the fury you felt towards your parents for how they hurt you and over time, it festered and boiled.

You wanted revenge. You wanted it now. Your chance came when the circus settled into its yearly performance at the city of Verona, where a sly deal was made in the dead of night.

It's certainly not luxurious, working for the mob, and it cost you your true family but if it means getting the power to give unto those what was done to you..

Well, isn't it worth it?

Yours is a story of anarchy.

As a young child, you never dreamed about traversing the stars as an astronaught, nor did you dream about fame and fortune. No, you dreamt of fire.

Destruction has been the one consistent in your life in a world full of disappointing, dull stability. Your friends thought you were cool, until you were too 'dangerous' to be around, your parents thought you were troubled, and the world deemed you a psychopath.

But they just didn't get it- how could they?

Normal is overrated, you want to leave your mark on world with the only way you know how; by tearing it down.

Aren't you lucky that you found the means to do so through the Montague family?

Yours is a story of discord.

Peace is overrated. Always has been, always will be. You've always had a knack for manipulation and sowing the seeds of disarray wherever you walked, playing nice for the sake of playing nice just was never a part of your nature.

You're not sure what your goal is, or if you ever even had one. You just know that you find the most wonderful thrill in getting under peoples skin, finding out how they tick and then ripping them apart just to see them break.

It was no surprise to you, or to the family that you happily left trailing in dust, that you joined the dark underworld of crime. At least there, you could be the monster you truly are and not deal with any consequences.

Yours is a story of verity.

How did you end up here? Like this? You were a man of honour, of integrity, you were somebody that people could respect and now look at you.

You're nothing but a killer.

It's a question that you've been asking yourself for years. How did this happen? Why did I let it go this far? How deep have I dug my own grave? Being recruited into the Montague family was meant to be simple, in and out, gather what you needed and then leave. But then came the first job, then the second, the third, until you ran out of fingers and toes to count on.

You hate what you've become, but there's no leaving this hellscape. Not yet.

Yours is a story of anger.

You used to be a bright young woman on her way to greatness but during your youth, somebody made sure that you were nothing but a empty shell of who you once were. Why? Who knows, all you knew is that you were broken.

But while others caved in the face of adversity, you stood your ground, clawed your way out of your hellscape with a promise: to get revenge on those who hurt you.

Your vendetta has gone far beyond your wildest dreams over the years but you don't have it in you to stop. And why should you? They never did. What was so wrong with your exacting your vengeful fantasies on those who deserved it?

Nothing, you thought, there was nothing wrong with it at all.

Yours is a story of shrouded in mystery.

Nobody can really say why you joined and no answer you give has ever been the same. Perhaps you don't even know why yourself anymore. All you do know is that the love of your life, in all her insanity, wants you with her and by the devil, are you going to keep her happy.

You and The Poison are the Montagues dynamic duo; partners for life in every respect. Your roles on the job are very much the same as they are in real life. You play the part of the luscious flytrap, luring unsuspecting victims to their violent demise.

At first, you hadn't been too sure about your role in the Montague family but as the years passed, you've found your niche, and though you were always a rather sweet girl, you enjoy playing the part of the femme fatale much more.

Yours is a story of smoke and mirrors.

You live to be as vexating to all but two as much as possible. You're a real life Harleen Quinzel(and yes, you do consider her to be an inspirational role model); crazy beautiful, crazy smart, and just plain crazy.

Absurdity doesn't even begin to describe your and that's how you like to keep it.

Just as it is with your partner, nobody knows how and why you joined the Montague syndicate, only that one day the two of you weren't there and then you were. There was doubt in the beginning.

But you quickly solved that by showcasing your prowess with chemicals and poisons, proving to be just as deadly with a few flower petals as those with guns were.
