The Sables grew up poor in Brackenridge. Their dad fell into debt with a local loan shark, Verrado. When he couldn’t pay, the collectors beat him and threatened the family. Their father eventually ran away, their mother collapsed from stress, and the siblings were left alone.

Arlen (eldest) dropped out of school, took multiple jobs, and later small illegal work to keep the family alive. He grew cold, disciplined, and willing to do anything to protect Mara and Jace.

Mara (middle) became the house strategist. She learned to negotiate with debt collectors, read people, and keep the family calm. Sharp mind, steady voice, loyal only to her brothers.

Jace (youngest) was the hopeful one — a natural hacker who earned a cybersecurity scholarship. For years, Arlen tried to shield him from crime.

Everything crashed when Verrado’s men returned right before Jace’s scholarship, demanding the family “pay” with labor or their home. Arlen fought back, and the siblings fled. With no money, no protection, and Verrado hunting them, they became fugitives.

To survive, they committed minor thefts and digital scams. They eventually realized they had complementary skills:

Arlen plans. Mara manipulates. Jace hacks.

Their conclusion: the only way to buy new identities and disappear forever is one major heist.

A clean job, one score, then freedom.

And that’s how they reached the bank.

Lazy for writing. Few hostages and police NPCs added.
