STORY (W.I.P)
'Paterson is a cesspool of wicked people and immoral deeds,' they said of the immigrant-laden New Jersey city. 'Home to the ambitious self-serving, to the entitled pricks, to the predators and scavengers.' The heir to Quicker Kipper Shipping, an opportunistic smuggling extraordinaire, called Paterson home and surprised none. Since 1936, QKS had been corrupted by the young heir's greed, transforming the company into something his father no longer recognized. Once a proud and authentic company, nowadays QKS deliveries carried more than they legally claimed. From illegal goods like drugs and girls to products merely aiming to evade the government's tax, anything could be hidden amongst legitimate merchandise. For the unprincipled, the scum of Paterson, Holiday Kipper of QKS was there to provide an invaluable service. It made the heir King of the Gutters, King of the Dishonest, King of Smuggling.
Though he reaped in riches, the smuggling business wasn't without its unique hazards and obstacles. Law enforcement posed the greatest risk to Holiday's operation, but they weren't what kept him up at night. Rivals and enemies made along the way didn't play like the cops. Police officers wouldn't spray his place with a couple of Thompsons, they wouldn't harm his precious little girl, they wouldn't bring mayhem down on Holly's whole world. After several assassination attempts and delivery truck bombings, Holly realized who sought his hide. Roscoe Huber had been a rival from the getgo. He ran a similar operation, but it was primitive and lacked a law-abiding facet to divert prying eyes. Huber was jealous, having lost much of his credibility to frequent cop seizures and many of his patrons to Holly. Despite the genuine threat Huber posed to him, considering their numerous altercations, Holiday thought it impossible to lose to Huber. Arrogance blinded the younger man to the point of underestimating Huber. Though remaining vigilant, he tricked himself into believing in his invincibility.
VERSES (W.I.P)
RISE; [Paterson, New Jersey; 1936-49, modernized AU available] tba
DECENNIUM; [Reno, Nevada; 1950-60, modernized AU available] Huber was dead, found in his own home half-skinned (presumably whilst alive). Mark Kipper was dead, his head caved in with a marble ashtray. Cody Kipper was dead, too, dying from a broken heart hardly a year after his older son. During his father's funeral, the realization sank in: it was all his now. Everything he desired, he now had. Yet, he wanted more. Holiday began to eye a growing Nevada city, and in 1950 moved QKS headquarters to Reno. His aggressive expansion now centered in the western state raised countless eyebrows. Especially from those in Vegas. 'Ah, just like home,' and he smiled.
LOVELACE; [historical & modern AUs available] Holiday's narcissism knew no bounds. Never having outgrown his self-centeredness in childhood, it flourished to define his adulthood. Money and power were ever the covet of QKS's dark prince, and he never had enough. Despite witnessing again and again how greed dictated his actions, his wife, siblings, and parents pleaded ignorance of his egotistical character. Some would have loved them for it, but Holly detested their willful nescience. It weighed him down as he felt compelled to put up a facade to soothe their distaste for his true nature. Veiled by a silver tongue's glib words, Holiday maintained the role of 'Tom,' a modest and thoughtful man, whilst around family. 'Tom' was no criminal, that was Holiday. Oh, how he craved to embrace his true character with someone who understood, someone akin. But did anyone like that exist?
