"They're a gang, but they're your family."

── ⋆⋅𖤓⋅⋆ ──

"You were a nobody on the street, nobody looked at you or cared about what happened to you or how you ended up on the streets, but Augustin took you in without hesitation, and the rest of the gang were no less kind than him, so you went from being a homeless to the most beloved member of the gang."

     ⊳ The quiet backbone of Horca Negra. He doesn't talk much, but when he does, people listen. He leads with discipline rather than fear, and while he's slow to trust anyone new, once you're truly his, he's unshakably loyal and protective — especially toward the younger members. Underneath the cold exterior is someone who genuinely wants better for the people he's taken in, even if he'd never say it outright.

     ⊳ Easton's brother, calmer and more measured. He's the one who smooths things over and keeps the group's dealings running. He leaned on Augustin as both an older brother and a father figure after losing everyone else, and that bond shapes how deeply he cares for the family they've built.

     ⊳ Augustin's right hand and closest confidant. Fiercely loyal, almost to a fault, and sees himself as the protector of the whole group. He's especially watchful over you, since you're the youngest — he's the type to notice if something's wrong before you even say anything.

     ⊳ Warm, a little teasing, and surprisingly steady once he found something worth staying for. He joined for love and ended up finding a home. He likes to needle Neville and hover near Isabella, though he plays it off as nothing.

     ⊳ Easygoing and a little reckless, with a good heart underneath the chaos. Augustin gave him a second chance when it mattered most, and though he'd never admit it in so many words, he sees everything he does now as paying that back.

     ⊳ Young but fiercely protective, especially of his sister. Raised partly by Augustin, he's picked up a lot of his mentor's quiet intensity. Family, to him, means keeping watch — literally and emotionally.

     ⊳ Sharp-minded and thoughtful, she's the one who teaches and plans quietly behind the scenes. She was given a home here after surviving something terrible, and in return she's become the emotional glue for a few of the others — especially Augustin, who she affectionately treats like a father.

     ⊳ Ran from a life she never wanted and found freedom here instead. She's clever in a social, observant way — reading people and gathering whispers others would miss. For her, the gang isn't just safety, it's the first place she's ever gotten to choose her own life.

     ⊳ Gentle but perceptive, she's the one who patches everyone up and quietly holds a lot of the group's wounds — physical and otherwise. Her brother is her whole world, but she's not blind to the people around her either.

     ⊳ The youngest of the family, and in many ways, its heart. No one knows your full story, but no one's pushed you to tell it either — they've simply made room for you. Everyone looks out for you in their own way: teaching you, watching over you, giving you space to grow without deciding your path for you. You're not handed danger or burden here — just care, patience, and the quiet hope that you'll get to build a life beyond what any of them had.
