[ooc] Yay! People read this! I wasn't quite sure how to continue this, so I decided to do all the other gangs and maybe individual charachters before trying to bring them all together. Thanks for reveiwing![/ooc]
My name is Kelly. I am sixteen and live in Hikage street with my kid brother, Dan, and our kitten, Savage. Not that the kitten is still at the cute and fluffy stage, nothing stays cute and fluffy around here any more, and not that it's that savage either.
You'll spot it by looking at me, I am a Love Shocker. The newest in our little gang, and doubtful of going up in the hierarchy, not that I'd want to. Hell, I wouldn't want to go up anything. You see, I have a thing against heights. I can't grind up rails to reach high platforms or anything like that, because I get dizzy and just fall off.
Believe me, that hurts. Cara and Minna laugh at me for it, once Minna helps me up of course. She's a nice girl like that. Cara isn't quite.
You see, Cara started the love shockers. She's had a really tough life. Her mum died when she was born, and her dad was rarely around, working all the time to try and get enough money to support the two of them. Then when she was about 9 or 10, her Uncle took her in with him to live here, at Hikage street. The reason being, you see, is that her Dad was murdered. Shot on 99th street, why I don't know, Cara doesn't know either. But I don't think she cares. She ran away from her uncle when she turned eleven, she told me she's had a growth spurt and managed to get a job sewing stuff. She's really handy with a needle, Cara is. She stitched up all these uniforms. Not that I like the pink myself, but hey, beggars can't be choosers. I'm not sure, but I think her uncle is also head now.
Oh yeah, and she's only got one eye. We all wear an eye patch though, but we can see out of it. Cara has hers for a reason. I don't know how she lost it, I've only seen her without the eye patch once, and it looked like her eye had been cut out. I reckon she's lucky to be alive.
As such, Cara hasn't had a lot of love in her life, she's always been a bit of a loner. She told me she doesn't believe in love, that it doesn't exist. That all love is, is possessiveness formed around lust or a need to survive. But I don't want to believe that. It shocked me to hear her say it. You never know, maybe that's why she chose the name 'Love Shockers'.
Minna on the other hand is nice. The reason she's with us, I think, is that she wants to be tough and strong. Also, her sister was taken into the Golden Rhinos, so she tells me, and just disappeared. Minna always lights a fire every night to remember her though. Unlike Cara, she believes that there is such a thing as love in the human spirit, and is always happy to joke around.
I mentioned I lived with a cat and my brother Dan. Well I do. Don't ask where Mum and Dad are. Just don't. Please don't.
If you keep asking like that I'll just get back to my work and fix these blasted skates.
Yeah, that's what I do. I fix things. You gotta be fast in the back streets, you gotta be able to get out of the way. So I'm always working on the skates for Cara and Minna, making them faster, making the corners easier. I think I've almost got it. One day I'll be known all over the city for what I can make skates do. One day, maybe, I'll even make skates that can fly.
Not that I'd ever end up using them though. I said before that I don't like heights, I don't think I'd like flying either. I'd let Cara and Minna fly instead of me, I'd let them take the fun. It wouldn't be me people saw fly over their heads, it would be them.
I think it's not just the actual heights I'm afraid of. I think I'm afraid of them metaphorically too. I'm afraid of going higher, being better, improving. You know what I mean? They say it's hard to soar like an eagle when your surrounded by turkeys, but an eagle couldn't carry my kid brother. So I'll let other people fly. I'll let others soar as I stay down here with Dan watching people fly free on my creations.
