Are you a king, or a peasant?
Leader
Ashton wolfheart
Growing up, up until she was about 15, she never thought she'd be the leader of a gang, let alone that gang to be her father's, but that's what happened. He came home drunk, and had tried to use her, and tried to abuse her as well, but she had none of it. Getting away from him, she found a knife, and when he came at her again, she stabbed him. Many, many times in the chest till she was covered in his blood and laughing. Yeah, that's when she learned that the thrill of killing was for her. She loved the power she felt being able to take someone's life with her own hands. The day she killed him, was the day she became the leader of The Kings. Some say she's got a heart of stone, but that's because she shows no emotion when she kills, and hardly ever smiles. Although, despite her, twisted nature, she's truly a kind person. Kids and teens thrown on the streets, she takes in as family. She only lets her twisted side emerge when it's time to torture or kill someone, otherwise, she is a nice and genuine person. She does have a body count though. In a little black book she always keeps on her, are tally marks, one mark for each person she's killed. Last she counted there was sixteen marks, but that was like four years ago. Unlike some, her gang is not built on murder. Yes, she's a killer, and so are the rest of her gang, but their main goal is not to kill. Yes, they will kill to get their way, but their goal is to rule, and nobody will get in her way. She keeps her gang well fed and in good living, as she has a nitch for killing rich people who piss her off, but she knows better than to go after those who hold high status. She may act cold and heartless, but what else would you expect from the leader of a gang of killers? Pillows and daisys? More like stone and nails, but hey, nails are removable, and stones are breakable. Although, to do that to her, you'd have to have some balls, even then, she might just cut them off.

Gang members
"Firefly" The Arsonist
Very little is known is known about who most of the gang has affectionately dubbed Firefly, other than their excitable, childish nature and that they really, really like fire. They're voice is unidentifiable in pitch at best, muffled at worst, and their body doesn't clue in much better for anything but emotion, outside of a cybernetic arm. They hardly ever take off their mask or hood, and make sure they're alone or facing away from others when they do.
When they were found they were much less bombastic, with nothing but the clothes on their back, stolen food, and a terribly dirty 'hospital' bracelet, huddled to a firey lump of trash. They were a bit hostile to approach, seeing as everything spooked them into throwing fireballs, scaring the life out of the poor hobo that fetched Ashton to show them to, but eventually managed to relax enough to be taken in. Without much hesitation, they joined the Kings, but were still sluggish and apprehensive. They still get this way sometimes, and it's wise to stay away unless you know how to deal with it or are immune to fire. Even after two years, and much growth in stature, skill and confidence in fellow gang members, they have yet to explain anything about themselves, and often ignore questions about it.

heda
Fresh out of prison, Heda is one of the newest members of the Red Scarves gang. What was she in prison for? She and her girlfriend had been stealing from a local bank and had almost gotten away with it, but the girl had been new to the buisness and had cracked under the pressure, ratting out Heda to save her own skin. Heda did her time quietly, the months passing by only fueling her cold and bitter demeanor. The moment she was out of prison she hopped in her old car and drove to her girlfriend - well, now exs house and climbed through her window to drive a cold kitchen knife through her knife repeatedly. She had put her trust in this woman, opening up to her. She had given Heda the idea that she didn't have to steal to get by, even though it felt like that was all she was good at. There might be more to life than simply surviving... But that idea was turned off like a switch. After her crime, she fled to the dark side of the city and still avoids police, hating them almost as much as she hated her ex, and we all saw what happened to that woman...
Despite her cold and bitter exterior, she dislikes to kill or hurt people needlessly, or at least without due cause. She finds herself getting caught up in thinking of the families of those she killed, who she also neglects to mention in her past but most know of anyway. Born to be in the lowest of the low, she now knows that that is where she will stay. But don't let her demeanor fool you - she has been known to be prone to spontaneous outbursts of emotion in which her personality does a complete backflip, her attitude becoming unpredictable. Said outbursts often end up with someone dead. On her own time, like a counterbalance to the bitterness that fills her heart after the latest betrayal, she does what she loves, a very few number of things that she keeps close to her heart and refuses to let anyone see.

Jericho Mackaroy
Life is a game, and damn if he doesn’t play it. A powerful psychic with a lust for partying and a strong poker face, Jericho is never out of cash and always knows where to be, and more importantly where not to be, making him quite a popular member to befriend even with his general lack of charity. He finds his actions to be of little consequence, and therefore will do just about anything he pleases without much regret, so it’s best not to get on his bad side. A joker at heart, he can often be found out messing with people, or playing with those of weaker mind like putty. His favorite place seems to be Lucky Street, where his ability can be used to rake in the cash like no one’s business-but even a god couldn’t help everyone involved if somebody squeals.
He speaks little about his life before the Kings, but doesn’t particularly hide it. He grew up with much more than most in the area had; namely money, a large home, and every penny he could want to his name. His parents, on the other hand, were just as subpar as those of any around him. At some point, he got too old and out of control for their taste, and kicked him to the curb with little more preparation on his end than a stolen lump of cash and a backpack.
