ANDRE - PRINCIPAL - MIXED RACE
(slim build, long hair, black eyes) was born in Toronto Ontario but moved to Hamilton when he was 8 years old, he is the most level-headed in the group, he comes from a great home with loving yet busy parents, Andre was filled with love and knowledge when his parents were around but often spent time with the nanny and her sick father! Andre is a mixed race 34-year-old who always knows just what to say! Andre always calms the tension between the boyz like an older and honest brother! A family tragedy occurs causing Andre to choose between taking on a familial responsibility or maintaining his deserved freedom!
NOLAN - PRINCIPAL- CAUCASIAN
(Thick build, curly hair, blue eyes) is a Caucasian 33-year-old man who was born in Hamilton Ontario and raised by a single father, his mother left shortly after his birth due to his fathers control issues. Nolan has 1 baby girl and believes he should only finance the child and not parent her, Nolan can be selfish due to his father’s lessons and his mother’s abandonment which causes him to become tunnel visioned when it comes to his personal wants. Nolan has always been against the idea of having children, then he quickly learns that he has no control over a woman’s body
RAIAN - PRINCIPAL- ASIAN
(Thin build, short hair, brown eyes) is an Asian 31-year-old man who loves his animals more than humans. He was raised in Hamilton Ontario living in unstable homes, His father left after his mother was caught cheating and she lost all interest in being a mom. Raian is rough around the edges and can be very blunt and mean, he’s always felt like no one wanted him around and he got picked on the most from the other boyz. Raian was raised without his father around which caused him to receive transgressive wrath from his mother and led to his choice to only love his fur babies!
CHRIS - PRINCIPAL - BLACK
(Tall and Thick build, nice hairstyle, brown eyes) is a 32-year-old man born in Hamilton Ontario. Chris lost his father before birth, his godfather stepped up, married his mother and raised Chris as his own son. Chris prides himself on living the bachelor life, he is the youngest of the group and has always been protected by his boyz, a shy and kind individual who turns into a wild animal at parties is surprised with an ultimatum from a face he can’t remember!
