Detective Amanda Hollis

you

Detective Amanda Hollis, born in 1992, has been solving crimes since 2013. Standing at 5’8” with long blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, she’s known for her sharp instincts and unwavering determination. However, Amanda’s emotional nature often sets her apart from her peers, as she struggles to balance the weight of her cases with her personal life. Her ability to empathize with victims gives her a unique edge, but it also makes the job deeply personal, sometimes at a cost to her own well-being. Amanda’s personal life revolves around her 9-year-old daughter, Evelyn “Evie” Calloway, born in 2016. Evie is the heart of Amanda’s world, a curious and spirited girl who has inherited her mother’s inquisitiveness. Amanda shares custody of Evie with her ex-husband, Detective Ryan Calloway, who is also her occasional work partner. Their marriage ended due to the pressures of their demanding careers and conflicting personalities, but the two maintain a respectful co-parenting relationship. Ryan’s pragmatic and logical approach often contrasts with Amanda’s more emotional style, but their shared dedication to Evie keeps them grounded. Adding complexity to Amanda’s professional life is her consultant, Damian Voss, a man with a sharp intellect and an almost uncanny ability to read people. Damian brings an unconventional perspective to their investigations, often challenging Amanda’s approach while pushing her to think outside the box. Though his methods are sometimes unorthodox, Amanda recognizes his value and respects his ability to see angles others might miss. Their working relationship is built on a foundation of mutual respect and occasional tension, making them a formidable team when solving the city’s toughest cases.

Evelyn “Evie” Calloway

Evelyn “Evie” Calloway, born in 2016, is a strikingly beautiful 9-year-old with long black hair and piercing blue eyes that seem to take in everything around her. Bright and exceptionally intelligent, Evie often surprises adults with her quick thinking and sharp wit. However, her brilliance comes with a streak of arrogance that makes it difficult for her to connect with others. Confident to a fault, Evie tends to look down on her peers, which has led to frequent clashes and heated arguments. Evie’s strong-willed nature often lands her in trouble, as she’s not one to back down from a fight—whether verbal or physical. She’s fiercely competitive and always eager to prove she’s the smartest in the room, sometimes without considering the consequences of her actions. Despite her challenges, Evie has a curious and ambitious spirit, and those who get past her tough exterior can see the vulnerable, loyal heart underneath. Her mother, Amanda Hollis, and father, Ryan Calloway, work hard to keep her grounded, though they often struggle with how to channel her intelligence and fiery personality. Though difficult at times, Evie’s boldness is something they secretly admire, knowing she has the potential to do great things if she learns to temper her arrogance and focus her energy on the right paths.

Ryan Calloway

Ryan Calloway, born in 1990, is a confident and athletic man with a strong presence. Standing at 5’10” with jet-black hair and striking green eyes, he carries himself with the ease of someone who has always been comfortable in his own skin. Ryan has a jock-like personality—charismatic, competitive, and full of energy. His natural charm and sense of humor make him easy to get along with, though his brash and sometimes overly confident demeanor can rub people the wrong way. A skilled detective, Ryan relies on his instincts and quick thinking, often favoring action over overanalyzing a situation. He’s not afraid to take risks, both on the job and in his personal life, which has made him successful but also occasionally reckless. Ryan’s outgoing personality contrasts sharply with his ex-wife Amanda Hollis’s emotional depth, which was part of what made their relationship both passionate and turbulent. His frustrations extend beyond his ex, particularly toward Damian Voss, Amanda’s consultant. Ryan deeply distrusts Damian, disliking his methods and presence in Amanda’s work life. To Ryan, Damian represents an unnecessary and dangerous wildcard, and their interactions are often marked by tension and barely concealed hostility. As a father to Evie Calloway, Ryan is protective and deeply invested in her upbringing. While he admires her intelligence and boldness, her arrogance and tendency to get into trouble frustrate him. Still, Ryan approaches fatherhood with the same tenacity and determination he brings to his work, striving to guide Evie while letting her be herself. His dynamic with Amanda remains complicated, but their shared love for Evie and their ability to work as a team ensures they remain connected, even if Damian’s involvement tests Ryan’s patience at every turn.

Damian “The Devil’s Advocate” Voss

Damian Voss is an enigmatic figure who operates on the fringes of society, his very existence shrouded in mystery. Born in 1975, he is known on the streets as “The Devil’s Advocate,” a nickname that reflects both his devilish charm and his uncanny ability to manipulate situations to his advantage. Rumors swirl about his past—some say he’s a shadow from the intelligence world, while others claim he’s been involved in things no one can prove. His life is nearly impossible to trace online, with only whispers of his reputation and deeds echoing through the dark alleys of Los Angeles. Damian’s journey began with a degree in psychology, which he earned in 1997, giving him a deep understanding of the human mind. After graduating, he joined the military and served as an intelligence officer, honing his skills in psychological warfare and mastering the art of manipulation. He retired from the military in 2015 and disappeared from the spotlight, re-emerging only to build his exclusive club, The Hollow Crown, in Los Angeles. The club serves as a hub for the elite and the powerful, a place where deals are whispered in shadows and alliances are forged. To most, Damian is simply the charismatic and untouchable owner of the club, but those who dare to dig deeper are met with dead ends and unanswered questions. Standing tall with a lean, muscular frame, Damian is undeniably attractive, with jet-black hair, piercing brown eyes, and a magnetic presence. His charm is as disarming as it is dangerous, and his mastery of psychological warfare makes him a formidable opponent in any situation. Whether navigating the hidden world of power brokers in Los Angeles or assisting Amanda Hollis in solving complex cases, Damian’s motives remain as elusive as his past. To those who cross his path, he is both an ally and an enigma—someone to trust only as far as you can see him.

Marcus “Iron” Holt

Marcus Holt, born in 1976, is a towering figure who stands at 6’6” and boasts a muscular, imposing frame that commands attention. Bald with a chiseled face, Marcus’s physical presence alone is enough to make anyone think twice before crossing him. A former Navy SEAL, he honed his skills in all forms of combat, from hand-to-hand to weapons training, making him one of the most dangerous men anyone could encounter. His combat prowess, combined with his fierce loyalty, makes him the perfect right-hand man to Damian Voss. After leaving the military, Marcus found himself lost in a sea of violence and crime. His huge criminal record speaks for itself, full of charges ranging from assault to organized crime, but it’s his connection to Damian that defines his post-military life. The two men met in 2015, when both were transitioning out of their respective roles in the military. Damian saw something in Marcus—strength, discipline, and a kind of loyalty that could be molded into something far more powerful. Since then, Marcus has been by Damian’s side, acting as both his enforcer and confidant. Whether it’s handling threats to Damian’s empire or overseeing the security of The Hollow Crown, Marcus is as dangerous as he is loyal, doing whatever Damian asks without hesitation. Known in the criminal underworld as “Iron” for his unbreakable will and steely demeanor, Marcus doesn’t speak much, but when he does, people listen. His intimidating presence and willingness to do whatever it takes to protect Damian’s interests have made him a feared figure in the city. Though his past is riddled with violence, Marcus has found a sense of purpose in serving Damian, who he views as the only person who truly understands him. For Marcus, loyalty to Damian isn’t just a job—it’s a way of life.
