Characters relationships chart

It was honestly fun to do and an interesting concept. Not every characters are depicted here, but they're the main I guess??
I'll add a long ass bunch of infos under to explain their relationships, since I had no idea where to share it.
Enjoy!


Emrick's relationships based on the other characters’s point of view – not detailed


Johannes – 25 yo :
He is Emrick’s ex-boyfriend and one of the people who like Emrick the most despite their break-up. His mindset changed a lot, and he is still very attached to him. In fact, he has issues coping with the break-up because Emrick was giving him a lot of affection, which he almost never received when he was a young boy and teenager. He tried coming back to him several times, with no success, and is still overly jealous of the relationship between Liam and Emrick but does not interfere as he was used to. If he could, he would gladly offer him to stay at his place, but he knows Emrick is scared and prefers being away from him.


Liam – 32 yo :
He sees Emrick as a toy more than a partner, unable to feel any kind of love or deep feelings. He keeps him around because he finds him pretty, great in bed and his attraction to him is selfish because he only needs Emrick to satisfy his needs. However, he would feel very insecure if Emrick get away from him, since he is the only person offering him warmth and a kind of real relationship, like lovers would. Because of his perpetual fear of Emrick leaving him, he acts possessive and often forbid him to meet a certain kind of people. Still, he knows he must take good care of him, do his best to keep him healthy and neat, offering him expensive gifts and providing him shelter to keep him close.


Monika - 31 yo :
She considers Emrick as a friend but mostly sees him as a little brother. She always worries for him, and she is the one keeping an eye on him while he works as a striper. She also manages his shift as a barman, since she is co-owner of the Cobra (bar/strip-club). Most of the time, she handles Emrick and Liam’s conflicts, not afraid to bark at Liam when things are going south.


Amber – 6 yo – Louis – 4 yo :
They are the two orphans kids Emrick care for. Since he can’t be with them h24/24, they stay at Monika’s place, who take care of them most of the time. They tend to be scared easily and only trust Emrick and Monika. Louis is the youngest and likes to be glued to Emrick when he sees him. Amber likes him as well but tend to be more anxious than Louis when Emrick is away.


Galan – 26 yo :
He was Emrick’s childhood friend and neighbor when they lived in San Francisco. Galan liked to keep his friend for himself, and their relationship was kind of romantic at some point, even if they were not lovers. Emrick cut all contact with him since Galan was a jerk and had serious anger issues. Out of anger and disappointment, Galan decided to follow Emrick and Jack in Florida, knowing Jack would attend police academy in Miami. Galan being older than them, was already working as a cop, and just had to change his location to enter a new police station. He became an officer later and would keep an eye on Emrick without him knowing, hoping to meet him again some day.


Jack – 21 yo :
He is Emrick’s high-school friend and best friend. They were very close in high school, and Jack had been attracted to his cocky but kind personality, and his style. They stayed close until they were 18 but started seeing each other less when they arrived at Miami and when Jack went to police academy, inspired by his ex-friend Galan’s job. Jack has a huge crush on Emrick since high-school and almost always followed him. Despite Emrick’s flirty/promiscuous personality and link with gangs, he sticks around and is the first person to be there when Emrick needs it. However, he got in troubles several times since police and gangs are not supposed to work with each other and since those events, Emrick stays away from him not to cause issues.


Ruslan – 29 yo :
To him, Emrick is a sl*t and a toy he can play with, whenever he wants. At first, he wanted to kill him, knowing Emrick was part of the Kennedy’s clan but after keeping him locked up in his warehouse, he chooses otherwise. He got interested in him because of his feisty personality, not afraid to be beaten up and insulted. Since then, Ruslan likes to spit degrading words at him so that he gets upset. Emrick takes it personally, but their fights are nothing more than a game for Ruslan. Fighting is thrilling and they would spend great time picking a fight with each other, fights that often end up in making out. With the deal they made, Ruslan knows Emrick can’t disobeys, and he wants to take his time to break him until he is useless to him.


Jera – 24 yo :
He hated Emrick when he first met him, being annoyed with his behavior and reactions. Unfortunately, Emrick got stuck with him because Ruslan wanted him and Richard to introduce Emrick to mercenary business. His new babysitter role did not please him, and his frustration would backfire a lot at Emrick. Jera is always barking at him, punching, or slapping him, throwing him around when he is not doing the tasks right. Moreover, he is often confused about how caring Emrick is towards people or towards him and Richard. It is not understandable for him since he behaves like a mad dog but maybe he starts enjoying Emrick because of his caring side. His role is also to protect Emrick during business, but he is not that fond of the idea and often leave him behind.


Richard – 26 yo :
He is also supposed to introduce Emrick to mercenary business. He thought nothing of Emrick at first, just obeying Ruslan’s orders. Still, Richard spends more time with Emrick than Jera, because of his softer side. He never hit him nor screamed at him for no reason, trying his best to explain the tasks easily. He is also the one training Emrick in close-combat and weapons holding since Jera tends to be a little too excited and aggressive. Like Jera, Richard likes the way Emrick care for people, since he is only surrounded by violent people, and it eases his mind. He tends to be extra careful around him or when they are working together because if things go wrong in robberies or attempted murders, Richard knows Ruslan would kill him if his toy get too injured for nothing.


Ekatarina - 24 yo :
She became friend with Emrick after spending numerous evenings at the Cobra. He listened to her life story, teaching her how to defends herself against creeps, or taking her to the beach in order to rest after her work. However, she was forced to bring him to the mercenaries and obeys Ruslan’s orders. After Emrick got locked up at the warehouse, she was afraid of seeing him again because he would probably reject her, but it was not the case. Ekatarina got attached to him because of how sweet he was with her and she quickly developed one-sided feelings.


Saskia – 27 yo :
She knows Emrick because of Ekatarina since they works together. She was wary of him at first, not trusting men at all but seeing how gentle Emrick was with her friend, she calmed down. She is often joking with him when he come to the warehouse.


Stellan – 43 yo :
He is an acquaintance of Emrick and get along with him. Emrick did not see him often but they had the opportunity to talk business several times. Still, Stellan don’t trust Emrick at all because he knows he does shady business with the mercenaries, without knowing the reason behind it.


Heather – 23 yo :
He met Emrick thanks to a dinner with Liam, his father and Emrick. They spend some time with each other and Emrick often watch him in the streets since he is the son of the Michaelson’s clan boss. Heather doesn’t need to have a babysitter at all since he is tall and well built, but the dangers since he is someone important can’t be denied. He developed a crush on Emrick because he likes his kind of tsundere behavior when he is with him.
