⇒Appearance⇐

Standing at 5’8”, Alexei is neither tall or short, but sits at average. That being said, he certainly isn’t average everywhere else. His physique is that of a seasoned athlete, body firm and well-conditioned. He may not be a hulking monster of a man, but his muscles are defined and evident. The most evident are in his upper body, with broad shoulders and strong arms. His body is evenly distributed in a trapezoidal shape, wide in the areas of chest in shoulders with a clean slope down to his hips and legs. Scars are scattered across his form, some small, some larger. The most visible is one is the one across his cheekbone, about 2 inches in length, while the largest, and often hidden, is the one that begins on the upper thigh and creeps up onto his stomach.

Alexei’s skin is certainly not pale, his skin having a natrual warm honey tan from both his heritage and life spend working outside. His face is oval in shape and his jaw is straight, all defined by a heavy stubble. It’s kept trimmed and clean, both manageable and easy for a busy person such as himself. He has irises that are a rich lighter brown and are almost amber when the sun hits them just right. His eyes are deep-set and fierce, known for burning hotter than a fire and being sharper than a blade, which make him rather intimidating. Alexei’s nose is rather prominent and although it used to be perfectly greek-style in shape, it’s now grown more crooked due to being broken too many times. To finish off his facial features, his eyebrows are thick and straight while his lips are average with a heavier bottom lip.

As for Alexei’s hair, it is a deep chocolate brown in color and faintly wavy. He keeps it on the longer side and his locks reach his shoulders, almost always kept up in a half-up half-down fashion that he prefers. Occasionally, he will pull it completely back, but this occurrence is few and far between. Alexei has no tattoos or piercings. His clothing is usually simple and flexible, without much care for fancier attire, and usually sports a pair of sturdy boots to complete the outfit.

⇒Personality⇐

Alexei is a man with many faces and many are convinced he’s insane. One minute he’s loud and boisterous, the epitome of a court jester, but another he’s serious and stone cold. There is certainly a duality with this man and no one can seem to figure him out. Alexei manages o be both intimidating and not at the same time, but one thing is for sure and that is the fact he is respected by those around him. He may seem like he’s lost his mind, but one can doubt his intelligence and the way he carries his plans through to success. He’s trustworthy and loyal to a fault. Doubting Alexei is something only a stupid man would do.

Much of Alexei’s seeming “split” personality comes from his passion and immense pride.. He loves to take on new challenges and try things from different angles. This man is invested in every new project and you’ll never find someone as devoted and determined. That being said, Alexei’s attention span tends to be almost childlike and his patience is thin. He’s known for wanting to rush or wanting to turn down ideas simply because they sound boring. He wants zest. He wants to experience a life with spice and not a life that’s bland with boredom. Alexei has boundless energy and a mind that runs a mile a minute. This man is a beast that cannot be contained. You wouldn’t keep a wolf in your backyard, would you?

On the other end of the spectrum, Alexei is known for being very serious when it comes to his job and the safety of others. Despite some of his evident immaturity, he’s a father figure. He’s protective and stern, the type to take care of you yet give out a disappointed lecture. This man is a defensive one, friendly enough but with evident boundaries. Invade his space or insult him and prepare to be snapped at. He does not tolerate stupidity and can be a difficult person to get alone with, but at the end of the day, he isn’t cruel or unjust. Alexei Teresi is just a man who is incredibly committed to what he does and expects nothing less than the best.

⇒Appearance⇐

Clean lines and gentle curves are what define Mateo, whose body represents his perfectionism. Standing at 5’8”, Mateo isn’t the tallest of men, but instead stands at about average. Although his height may be deceiving, he certainly has enough bulk to pack a punch. His shoulders are broad and his arms are strong, the man’s body shape almost square or rectangular. Built like a boxer, his torso is broad as are his shoulders, which is what gives him his rather squared shape. He can also be described as almost feline-like in appearance, with long, elegant limbs that contrast with his stronger look, but only aid to his appeal. Scars dot his body from places unknown, but the most visible is a slash through his eyebrow.

Mateo’s skin is a natural caramel color with warm undertones, which creates a rather attractive hue. He tans easily and never burns, so his skin is usually on the darker side. His face is square in shape, rather evenly distributed and finished off by a sharp jaw. Occasionally, he decides to keep a heavy stubble or short beard, but he is mostly clean-shaven. Mateo’s eyes are expressive, deep-set, and are considered to be medium brown, though they are arguably the most beautiful thing about him. They are almost a rich honey in color and seem to be speckled with gold in the sunlight. Mateo’s nose fits in with the rest of his face nicely, though it has long lost its straight shape. His nose is crooked from being broken too many times, but it isn’t very prominent.To complete his appearance, he has thicker, but straight eyebrows and full lips with a prominent cupid’s bow.

There is nothing particularly special about Mateo’s hair and he finds it rather boring. His hair is a dark chocolate brown in color, almost black, but it has a tendency to lighten in the summer. He keeps it nice and trimmed in a quiff hairstyle, longer on the top and shorter on the sides. It has never been grown out and he plans on keeping it that way. Mateo has no tattoos or piercings. When it comes to attire, he always dresses formally, as such is expected of someone of his status, and prefers more neutral colors.

⇒Personality⇐

Mateo is what one would expect of a child who has spent his life eating out of a silver spoon. He tends to be snobbish and arrogant, the perfect example of a man of status. Confidence is front and center with Mateo, never any doubt present and he carries himself with authority. He can be seen as egotistical, with no care for anyone but himself, and perhaps it is true. He keeps a squeaky clean reputation and figure. He is the perfect prince and heir to the throne. It is hard to find something to criticize about when it comes to him. He is certainly Type A, always pushing for the best and is a known perfectionist.

But despite appearing vain and conceited, Mateo fits right in with social crowds. He is dignified and diplomatic, easy with words and able to hold himself in conversation. Oftentimes he is even the center of attention and life of the party, known for being outgoing and even flirtatious. He appears to be the perfect blend of everything, though that is the side the public sees. They see a perfect prodigy of a protege, a man who will make a fine king. What they miss is the boy who has a void in his chest and a want for something more.

Nobody sees the side that prefers the quiet of the library or the hum of the harp over the bustling balls. Nobody sees the man who likes to sleep under the stars or dreams of dancing in the rain. Quietly dissatisfied with his life, Mateo has never been seen as more than a prize. He was always seen as just a prince, but never beyond that title. He has never had the chance to experience meaningful relationships outside of his family. If one took the time to look beyond the surface, they would find that there is a silent sadness and anger to the man whose crown defines his worth.

⇒Mateo’s History⇐

As the eldest son of the Vidal’s, just about everything falls upon Mateo’s shoulders. He has spent his life training to be king, to fulfill the role assigned to him at birth. There have been expectations since he was born and they have continued throughout his life, so chances for freedom were few and far between. His childhood was spent with his siblings, the children a merry band of royals who adored each other when they weren’t fighting over toys or mother’s attention. They are thicker than thieves and Mateo was always closest to his eldest sister, Esmeralda, who has been by his side since the beginning.

He has grown up as the golden child, but Mateo grew stir-crazy as the years passed. The stress of being down by the shackles of royal responsibility took a toll on the young man, leaving him tired, irritable, and drunk on what few nights he had off. From his desperation came his first act of rebellion… his step into the world of fighting. Done in the back alleys, fighting was a popular form of underground entertainment. It was there Mateo found his place. It was there the prince learned how to feel again. He hides his bruises and injuries well, his parents convinced he is clumsy, but little do they know that the man spends his nights beating men and being beaten himself.

Mateo surprisingly agreed to the marital arrangements without a second thought, knowing it was a small price to pay for his people. He wanted the suffering to end, but in the end, he certainly isn’t happy about his decision. In fact, he is quite upset about how things played out, feeling like even more of his freedom is being stolen, but he accepts the hand he has been dealt. In the weeks before the wedding, he has spent even more time out fighting in the ring and training to try and forget what his life is about to become. There is no doubt that beneath the crisp suit he will wear on his wedding day lies a body beaten black and blue. At least he learned early on to protect the face.

⇒Appearance⇐

Tall. Viona is tall. She stands at 6’0” and every inch of her is accentuated with seductive curves and a slender physique she loves to use to her advantage. Her body is shaped like an hourglass, evenly balanced with the gift of a slim waist. Her hips and bust are on the fuller side, though her curvyness is more delicate than anything, allowing her to cut a rather elegant figure. Viona is athletic, lean with firm muscles that may not appear too prominent, but are there nonetheless. Long legs with well-fleshed thighs finish off her body, giving her a form that many women would envy and many men desire.

Viona’s skin is on the lighter side, a smooth, creamy ivory with warm undertones that give her a healthy glow. She has some very light freckles across her nose that are only visible during the summertime, which she hates. Her face is diamond shaped, giving her pronounced cheekbones and a slim chin. Her features are overall prominent as her face shape calls for. Viona has eyes that are sharp, catlike, and unforgiving that come in a brilliant shade of emerald green. Above sits a set of eyebrows that are perfectly waxed into a soft arch and point, while below sits a straight, Greek-style nose that is straight and chiselled as well as a pair of full lips with a prominent cupid's bow.

Viona’s hair is a bright, flaming red, and falls to the base of her shoulder blades in a layered cut. It is wavy in texture, with some occasional curls that are most prominent at the end. Usually, she has it styled in a loose curly fashion, as a curling iron is her best friend. Her ears and nose are pierced, but typically she wears a single diamond stud in her nose, disregarding earrings. As for tattoos, she has one, which is a peacock that takes up most of her backs left-side. It's head curls to the side towards her right shoulder and it's tail fans from about mid-back and trails off on her buttock. Her makep is more plain, and it usually consists of red lipstick in a darker shade and a very basic face routine. In terms of clothing, Viona prefers things that hug her curves and has a soft spot for hoodies, but can typically be found in shorts that show off her legs, and don’t even get her started on her obsession with all things heeled.

⇒Personality⇐

Witty and sarcastic, Viona knows her worth and is not afraid to make that fact known. She’s the textbook definition of a spitfire and many find it hard to get along with her strong will. She’s stubborn and fiercely so, with an ego and confidence to match. She’s a wildfire in a drought and burns hotter than one too when it comes to her temper. She may not trigger-happy when it comes to getting angry, but she is certainly not someone to be around when mad. Viona can become truly venomous when she’s crossed and certainly bites when cornered. It is wise to remain on her good side.

That being said, Viona isn’t a naturally aggressive person. She is not necessarily someone who goes out of her way to be kind, but she is not cruel. She may be a tad prickly, but she is known to be the picture of charm and charisma. A high-society socialite, she is just as comfortable at charity balls as she is in cafes. Viona is rather ambiverted, someone who needs time to recharge and enjoys her quiet time, yet enjoys to be the life of the party. Her ease in all social situations is a part of her natural grace, with her eloquent words and the intoxicating way she seems to talk with her honeysuckle southern drawl.

But Viona may seem angelic, with the pretty face and bright eyes, but every inch of her was carved by the devil. She’s a seductress, with the deep crimson lipstick and smoldering eyes that peer out from beneath thick lashes. Sinfully exhilarating, Viona knows how to flirt her way to the finish and is one of the most enthralling women one could ever meet. She’s a heartbreaker by all means and is known for leaving a trail of men behind her. The queen of flings and one-night-stands, Viona Lane may not be your next girlfriend, but she will certainly be the subject of your dreams.

“If y’all so much as look at me wrong I’ll blow your pretty little brains out.”

⇒History⇐

Viona grew up with her brother, Victor, as two of the many heirs to their grandfather’s alcohol empire. Hailing from Savannah, Georgia, the Lane family has long dominated the social circles of the area, and Viona is most certainly of their legacy. She is a socialite in every sense of the word, and is the queen bee that has Savannah eating out of her palm. She grew up at only the most elite of private schools, and graduated top of her class. She has since then acquired a business degree in marketing, with a minor in finance. Her biggest goal is to one day take over her grandfather’s business, but as much as the old man loves her, he is stubborn, and refuses to step down.
