Amalia

Introduction Amalia "Molly" Welkin "A man who wishes to make a vocation of being good at all times will come to ruin among so many who are not good." Machiavelli - "The Qualities of the Prince" "Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver." Ayn Rand - "Atlas Shrugged" "Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will." Nelson Mandela "The lack of money is the root of all evil." Mark Twain [ edit ] Contacts Alsatia -- Old college roommate. Nice, a little goofy, with AMAZING HAIR. Seriously, that hair is... there are no words. Dashiel -- Holy crap, are soulmates even possible? Maybe I've just got a bad case of the fangirl. Juliette Keyes -- Pretty sure she's not a ninja. Calevaro -- What a friendly guy! Too bad he couldn't stick around longer to chat. Johnathan -- Le Artiste of leather and lace. Lori -- Future shock jock? Can I pre-order tickets yet? Elias -- A legit English lord. A HOT English lord. I love this town. Dom -- Oh, you thought I wouldn't recognize you? Sorry, you still smell like money, no matter how you try to hide it. [ edit ] RP Hooks Above All This: She came to Prospect to escape her past and make her future, and boy howdy did she succeed beyond her wildest dreams. She's essentially reached NPC-status, but if you need a meeting with an Important Person or a cutthroat boardroom samurai, she might be your gal. I'm not sure what exactly happened, but I think I won the lottery and declared bankruptcy at least five times in that meeting. (Still Practically) New in Town: Moved to Prospect from New York years ago, immediately enrolled at UCP. Spent almost all of her time on and around campus. Now that she's graduated, she splits her time between lecturing on campus, her office at the Black Ridge Building, and traveling the world pursuing various business ventures. Which doesn't leave time to get out much. There's this great [fill in the blank] right around the corner! Fame: Had some success as a model before she moved to Prospect, and has good enough genes and enough money that she still looks about the same in her late twenties. (In fact, it looks like she hit 25 and then just kinda stopped.) Might seem familiar from an old print ad or billboard. Made some waves in the business world after she published her Ph.D. research and just kept going and going. Now she is regularly featured in the "top richest people in the world" lists, though she's not immediately recognizable to most. Do I know you? You seem familiar. Perpetual Academic: Enrolled in 2014, graduated with a Master's degree in Economics in 2016, graduated with her Ph.D. in May 2020, Dr. Welkin occasionally teaches and advises. She has an office on campus. Jesus, haven't you graduated yet? Instructor: She teaches a business theory class now and again as a guest lecturer at UCP. Undergrads might know her as an instructor, business & similar majors might even have her as their advisor. Can I get an extension? My grandma died. Again. No, the other one. The other other one. Shady Past: She was a bit of a mafia princess back home. Her father was The Man To Know when you needed your cash flow scrubbed. She's moved way past that. Or has she?

Disclaimer Amalia/disclaimer [ edit ] Background Streetwise or appropriate New Jersey/New York-area organized crime Contacts or IC background: If you've got New Jersey/New York-area organized crime contacts, one of them might've let you know to keep an eye out for "Jack Welkin's kid"; rumor has it she moved here recently. Jack Welkin was an extremely successful 'entrepreneur' with his 'import/export' business, especially since he was willing to work with anyone for the right price. Remaining independent made him some enemies, but not limiting himself was extremely lucrative. Unfortunately, someone's patience finally wore thin when he did business with their competition, and a message was delivered when Amalia was nearly killed in a suspicious car crash; her mom wasn't so lucky. The hit had the opposite effect on Jack from what was intended: instead of backing down, his rage led him to be even less cautious with his associations, and two years later he got the message loud and clear when he finally got a bullet himself. Streetwise or specifically appropriate New Jersey/New York-area organized crime Contacts or IC background: Despite his attempts to shelter her, Amalia wasn't entirely clueless about her dad's source of wealth, and after he was killed she knew exactly what she had to do: consolidate what she could and get the hell out of town. Her father's death created a bit of a power vacuum -- he did provide a valuable service, after all -- and as one group took retribution against his killers, and their allies took retribution against them, and so on... she got in touch with various 'uncles' who helped her minimize herself as a target. She divested herself of most of her inheritance, redistributed the wealth among her father's allies and various legitimate interests, and booked a one-way flight to the opposite end of the country. So far she's continued to lay low, and there's no word as to whether she's going to stay that way, or if she's going to start putting those skills to use at some point. [ edit ]
