Character Name: Merek Finley (aka: Boarder Dog, Boarder)
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Species/Breed: Boarder Collie
Current Occupation: One of Don Marco's personal guards and button (a Mafia 'soldier) in the Bettino crime family.
Personality: Don't let the pretty boy, nice guy appearance fool you. Merek is not like most collies that you’ll meet out on the streets, friendly and ecstatic no matter the weather. This collie has been toughened by a rough past and influenced by all the wrong sources. Those influences coming from the Bettino crime family to which he would gladly give his life. He’s almost brainwashed into thinking that the don has given him so much and everything he does in return is only small favors to repay his boss. He get’s woman, food, booze, money, and a damn nice club to hang out in with the rest of the family which also includes a personal room upstairs. Everything he needs so long as the mob boss get’s everything he wants out of his family. Merek has no morals while he does his work, however, he does not get a kick out of the things he does. If it means icing someone, then so be it. If it means bearing through the screams as you torture information out of someone, you just get the job done.
It does not always set in right with Merek when he has to ice an innocent, however that’s all different when he’s dealing with rival gangs. Two sides full of Furres that like it or not all deserve to die. Each of them armed with their preferred piece, their weapon and best friend. Merek finds himself much more of a precisionist than a melee artist. He’s deadly accurate even with a shotgun, and practically goes nuts with all the estrogen he gets from shooting off an automatic. Mobs don’t fight for money, territory and fear are much more important to them. Whoever owns the most of it becomes almost untouchable, and money comes along with that. Merek is proud of his family, and is not afraid to toss word of the name on his own behalf. He can act like a bit of a big shot sometimes.
Merek was not always a mob boy, killing in the name of his don. He grew up with a good family that had strong beliefs, but would never kill anyone. He only joined the Bettino family after his parents were killed by a rival gang. Seeing that he could not do much against the gang on his own, he signed up with the Bettino family which honestly assured him that he’d be helping to fight that gang. When Merek is not on the job, he’s a very nice fellow. A pretty boy that’s quite popular all around, the collie side not completely getting away from him. He enjoys music, drinking, pool, and sex with both genders though he’s more casual with the girls because there provided by the don and his gang tends to frown upon homosexuals. You can usually find him in the Bettino run club and bar since he can get the most of the things he enjoys right there. Pool, new faces, old faces, hired women, booze, and the protection of being in the heart of his own territory.
Appearance: Merek is probably one of the more well dressed furres in St. Lucent. Wearing a traditional mob outfit that’s common apparel among the rest of the gang. A black suit with grayish stripes jetting down the material. This comes with a pair of black formal pants, and a formal white undershirt. Fancy black shoes, and a horizontally striped tie. Merek makes his appearance more messy business by loosening the tie around his neck and wearing it out from his suit which he usually does not button up anyway. Along with his coat of fur, all the layers of clothing usually keep him warm without a coat. If need be he has a black jacket to go with the get-together. When he’s just hanging out and shooting the breeze, Merek wears more casual clothing that’s more appropriate for his age.
Under all that clothing is a coat of black and white collie fur, his underbelly more of a pure white. He has a long haired coat that can get easily matted, though he doges a good job maintaining and keeping his coat clean. His head hair is more messy than the rest of his appearance. Looking much more in place when he’s wearing that messy business wear. A cute face with a black patch which only surrounds his left eye, leaving the other side in white. Both eyes are a sky blue that match perfectly together considering that the opposite surrounding colors can have a different influence. He’s rather tall and lean like most collies, posture always leaning off to the left or right.
Background: Merek was born in East Lucent to a pair of friendly collies that really did not set right in the area. Guess there’s really no place for pure hearted, decent people. Especially if there going to be submissive and defenseless about things. In the East portion of Lucent it was better to know how to fend for yourself or at least pay off a mob for protection. However, They weren’t always all that pure as they made themselves out to be. Feeling oppressed by the council, they would join in any riots they could, leaving baby Merek home alone. They had a good run, never getting bashed up too bad by any retaliation efforts. Joining in the frenzies made them realize how dangerous their community could get. They started to think that they needed some kind of reassurance, especially for their young son. They formed a protection pact with the Bettino family, basically just paying the shady mob some money to have your back.
The pact ended coming in handy for Merek’s father when he was being mugged by a few underlings from another gang. A few of the Bettino boys caught sight of the situation, and iced the underlings. This mob caught wind of their boys getting iced, and were royally pissed. Found out some info on the family and sent a few boys over to their place while (now 17) Merek was at school. Killed the parents and left the scene before the kid came home.
Merek was of course devastated when he got home. Not knowing what to do since he was just a kid and was now all alone in the world. His father told him about the hold up with the gang and he also knew about the protection his father bought from the Bettino family. It was not hard for him to figure that this mob was responsible for what happened. The kid left home and never came back, living out on the streets for a few days with what little money he had. He was so pissed off at this mob, they took everything from him. Got this idea in his head that he’d take out the don of this mafia. The kid did well in finding a gun, bought a cheap one off of a crooked dealer with the money he had for food. Figured out where the mob’s hang out was (not a secret among mobs) , and got his way inside. After awhile he could pick out the boss, the guy that everyone was ass kissing. He was right in front of him, right there for Merek to kill and avenge his parents. He knew that he could kill the guy, but he never pulled out that gun. He still wanted to live, and knew that he wouldn’t be soon after pulling that trigger.
He left and sought out the Bettino crime family, otherwise known as The Shade gang. Got in with the gang partially because they knew who he was, and knew that he would loyally rival this gang. The Don Marco Bettino took him in as an associate, and the kid quickly proved himself a worthy mob boy. Working his way up in the family until he was eventually asked by the don himself to be one of his personal bodyguards. Because of his rivalry with the other mafia family, Merek still works as a button on occasion.
