WELCOME TO BIG SKY
A TOWN BUILT ON HISTORY
A beautiful place such as Big Sky, Montana, didn't come from the easiest of beginnings. However, I'm sure the collective census will agree that everyone wants to make sure their beloved town stays beautiful. Today, that still rings true and would make good ol' Clovis Deveraux proud to see what it has become since the town created where he served as the first mayor of Big Sky! And no matter where you look, you can see the beauty in the town. From the view of the mountains to every store on Main Street, there's always something to see. If you ask me, someone who was born and raised in Big Sky, I'm always seeing something different even after all these years!
Big Sky was founded in 1893 and has seen its fair share of ups and downs, but mostly the city has done nothing but grow into what it is today: 131 years later. Visitors to Big Sky can enjoy the perks of living in a friendly place with access to a top-notch ski resort for their recreational enjoyment. There are plenty of places to shop and eat as well as an amazing theater! There's truly something to always peak your interest while you visit! Locals have the added bonus of enjoying exceptional schools for their children in Kindergarten through 12th grade! Once they're done with their first 12 years of school, they can move on to the award-winning Big Sky University to further their education while staying close to home!
No matter what it is though, Big Sky has it all that one would need or even possibly want! I know that I don't plan on leaving this beautiful place. As I was born and raised here, I aspire to also make sure my children and their children are also born and raised right here in this beautiful piece of Montana!

Full Personality: •
I love life and let people know it. Someone says there's a party and I'm there. I definitely love to drink. The hangovers I usually sleep off. I live life by the brotherhood code as well. Sometimes my temper does get the best of me, but it doesn't last long, and I'm back to my usual carefree cheerful self.
I live for excitement and thrills. I care deeply for my family, and would do anything for them. I have a lot of respect for those ahead of me, and it shows in my actions and words. I may joke around with people once in a while, but I’m never cruel or go too far in anything against anyone. When I love someone I do so with all of my heart. Whether family or a girl I make sure that they know. One thing I don’t do is brag.
I’m pretty modest about the things I have achieved for myself, but I am a proud man, and don't like to be taken down. I may brood about it for a bit, but I get right back up and go for it again. Never one to complain much either for I take things in stride. There are some things that bother me that I may not talk about to anyone, but if it’s something really bothering me, then I will go to my dad to talk.

History
My dad's family originates from one of the founding families of Big Sky Montana as well as the Wild Wolves MC. My ancestors were full blooded Shoshone Indians that were the original inhabitants of Big Sky. I find myself fascinated in the stories of the Shoshone and wonder what it would be like if I had been born back then. Growing up I'd get my twin sister and younger siblings to play Cowboys and Indians quite a bit.
On mom's side the Bell Family migrated here not long after the town was founded. My great something grandfather built the building Storybook Bookstore. He loved what he did and it shows in the workmanship in the building and what he sold in his store. It has passed down generation to generation in the Bell Family keeping alive what he started all those years ago. Probably where I get my love of books from. My great aunts would babysit us when we were younger at the bookstore, and we had free reign to read whatever we liked. It was like a wonderland.
Mom went into a labor a month early with me and Kira. There were complications, and after ten hours in labor they were going to take her into have a hysterectomy. When they were about to give her an epidural she let out a scream as I came barreling into this world. The umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck though and they quickly got it from around me. In my haste to come out it had tightened around my twin too, and she came out blue. Luckily they were able to save both of us. Mom said she had never been so relieved as when they put Kira and I into her arms. Mom and Dad named us Asher Michael and Kira Nicole James. Our parents are Tyler and Drea James. The oldest of eight kids in total. Mom was only pregnant five times too. The youngest ones ended up being triplets.
We grew fast and were inseparable for the first year of our life pretty much. Once we started crawling though that changed things. I being the elder of us, and the boy, was into anything and everything and making my mother crazy between the two of us. When strangers would talk to our parents if they tried touching Kira I would glare at them and swat their hand away. Well this is according to our parents. My parents loves how much I grew to protect my sister, and later on my younger siblings.
A year after us our sister Brecken was born. Austin was born a year later, and a year after him our sister Riley was born. It was another four years before she had the triplets Rade, Raven, and Rebel. Kira and I were seven when they were born, and I really wanted nothing to do with babies. My getaways were when we were at the Storybook Bookstore.
When I learned to read I loved devouring books and getting lost in them. Sometimes I would pretend I was the characters in the books. Often making my siblings have sword fights with me with wooden swords I had made. My little brother Reid loved to join me. The other kids in the area joined in making their own swords and we had lots of fun. Our parents were all friends so we pretty much had grown up together. Or I'd get everyone to play cowboys and Indians.
When Kira and I turned four we got mini bikes and dad when he had time taught us how to ride them. I always made sure to ride between Kira and other riders so none of them would get near her. I didn't want anyone hurting her. I was excited when I finally graduated up to a dirt bike. Dad worked with us again as he was teaching Austin how to ride a mini bike. It wasn't long and I was tearing up the track. When dad said we were ready for Motocross I was bursting at the seams. I quickly took to it and was winning right and left, and cheering Kira on when I wasn't racing.
There was a girl that I fell in love with in Kindergarten. Out of all the girls in school she shined as if being singled out just for me. You know how when you watch those Baywatch babes running down the beach and being highlighted. Well that's how she was to me all the time. Her name was Mareike Larson. She was friends with my twin so she was always around. To my surprise I had no trouble talking to her, but when I'd try to ask her out that wouldn't come out. When I wanted to ask her out to Homecoming our seventh grade year I decorated her locker asking her out.
Miles Summers somehow switched out my note card with another one, and asked her out after I went to all the work decorating her locker. I had been so excited. Miles was an eighth grader so I had no chance now. The day of the dance I was bummed and didn't feel like going to the dance. Kira though who had helped me decorate Rei's locker went and told her the truth right away. I didn't want to go to the dance and see her hanging out and dancing with Miles, but then I'd never been able to say no to my twin who wouldn't leave me alone. So I finally showered and got ready not really into it. Mom was snapping pictures when the doorbell rang. I figured it was Aiden showing up since he was taking Kira. I was more than shocked to see that it was Rei all dressed up and ready for the dance.
Mom handed me a wrist corsage that matched Rei's dress, and I gaped at her. I heard Kira giggle and I looked over at her. I should have known that she would have my back. She must have told Rei the truth about who decorated her locker. I fumbled with the corsage, but mom steadied my hand and helped me get it out. Then she backed off and I nervously put it on Rei's wrist a bundle of nerves that this was actually happening! That night was pretty awesome and we had fun. When the nerves wore off that is.
One thing mom loved to do and that was go snow skiing. She taught each of us how to ski and I grew to love it too. Even competing once in awhile. When junior high hit I tried all the sports I could. Football was fun and I continued it into high school as well as making the ski team. I was offered a job when I turned sixteen at the ski resort by Cain Forrester teaching beginners how to ski. It was a great job and I loved it. I loved how they students would get excited when they were able to go down the bunny slope.
Mom and dad took Kira and I to get our first Harley's when we turned sixteen. Well first they took us out for a steak dinner and then we went to the Harley dealership. Which was opened that late just for us. It took me a while, but I finally found the one I had been wanting and hoping for. We got helmets too that matched the color of our bikes, and we got to ride them home. Both of us having got our license that day to be able to ride in readiness for tonight.
When skiing started back up the next season I was shocked when I was chosen to be on the Olympic ski team. I was lucky and won the gold medal in down hill skiing that year. That was one helluva ride for me. My whole family and Rei's family and lots of our friends were there to watch me. A few weeks later when I was racing a friend down Big Sky Mountain there was a small avalanche. We both survived, but I ended up with a broken leg that kept me from skiing professionally again. It didn't stop me from continuing on my job as I continued to teach beginners skiing at the resort.
Turning eighteen I was finally a prospect to the Wild Wolves with dad sponsoring me. With juggling my schedule I was able to work dates in with Rei. Though it wasn't easy. I prospected with Aiden Hart who was my twins old man, Carlos Falcon, Gustavo Consuelos, Zack Thomas and Tyson Youngblood. Zack was dating Rei's twin sister Hettie. There was a lot of group dates with our friends. Which I loved spending time with my twins sister Kira too. My senior prom I took Marieke, but we went with a group of our friends which included her twin, my twin and their boyfriends plus a few others.
The last year my sister Brecken had been dating Maddox Summers who I couldn't stand. I remember seeing them at my senior prom, but they must have left. The next morning she was missing. For over a week we looked for her, and couldn't find her. Maddox said last he had seen her was at a party they had gone to after leaving prom. I was with the Wild Wolves when they found her. I wanted to kill someone, and shed a few tears. It was another week spent in the hospital before she really came out of whatever she had been drugged with. I confronted Maddox a few days later, and he just laughed and said she was a slut anyway. I hit him, and it took quite a few of my friends to pull me off of him. He however spent a few days in the hospital where I put him. For quite a while it was pins and needles after Brecken was attacked, but we pulled through it being there for her as a family.
I'm twenty-three now. Still dating Mareike and working at the ski resort. Working at the resort I made great money. So when I was around twenty I bought my own place not far from my parents. Zack moved in with me so the girls were there more often then not. Kira stayed there once in a while too. Aiden had been invited to move in, but he chose to stay living at home since he helped his older brother Brady with guardianship of their younger siblings. Tyson lived here too, but after his families accident we hadn't seen much of him. If he needed us though we were right there. Oh I asked Rei's dad for her hand in marriage too. He gave the run around, but finally gave me his blessing in the end. Now I just got to get our schedules synced for the big night.

RPG Sample
Rayne sat away from the others somewhat. As it seemed like everyone was paired off but for him. Or they were with their friends. They’d been back from Sturgis for only a few days, and his dad, Rowdy, and Cain were throwing a bash at their place to try and take off some of the stress from what the trip had been. The Oklahoma boys and his dad, and Cain were taking turns getting up on the stage and singing. Oh and even Clyde had gotten up and sang. Their kids called out songs for them to sing, and they’d pick one from one of them. Of course his dad hadn’t asked him. It was mainly his baby brothers and once in a while Rafe or Ryder would yell out one.
Sturgis hadn’t really been any fun and he and his brothers had never gotten that tattoo that he designed. With all hell breaking loose everyone was on high alert the next week so his father and brothers had forgotten about it. He’d slept off and on that next week after what had happened to him. At least the stitches had gotten taken out finally so he didn’t have that discomfort. Though it still aches some, and Stephanie had said it probably would for some time as hard as he had been hit. It itched and bothered him, but he refrained from messing with it not wanting to get it infected as it was healing. The bruises were still there, but not as bad as they had been.
His dad’s attention today was either on Rosanna or his baby brothers most of the time. Feeling tired and left out he got up to head inside to his room. Rafe and Ryder’s attention was on their new found girlfriends. His gaze fell on Athena then who was talking to some of the other kids in the Jr Club, and there were a couple of guys that she was laughing and having fun with. He felt a pang in his heart, and weaved in and out of people to head inside. A stray tear ran down his cheek as he got inside, and he quickly brushed it away. He hissed in his breath at the pain when he had forgotten a moment about his wound. With a deep breath he headed up the stairs when he came up on them.
It wasn’t that much of a walk down the hallway to his room. The pounding of the music and the roar of the crowd outside was inside the house too, and it was giving him a headache. So all he wanted to do was lay down and take a nap. Opening his door a sound caught his attention. Looking up he gasped as there were a couple of guys in the room with their girls having fun on his bed as well as Simon’s bed. He gaped in shock for a few moments, before turning bright red not knowing what to do. He jumped when one of them yelled at him to get out. Quickly he ducked out his head pounding even more and realized then that he wasn’t alone upstairs as he saw others in the hallways too.
Looking up and down the hallways he noticed people going in and out of the theater rooms too. Walking down to his dad’s room he thought he might find some relief in there, but his dad must have locked his door. He tried Rowdy’s and Cain’s finding both of them locked. There was nowhere to go he realized, and he headed back down stairs trying not to cry. That wouldn’t look good in front of the sons around. There was a lot that he had no idea who they were. Including the ones that had been in his room having fun. Feeling lost and really left out he turned at the stairs and a drunk son knocked into him knocking him down. He saw stars when his head hit the corner of a baseboard. Laughter was heard, and then they ignored him. Sitting up he held his hand to his head, and when he pulled away there was blood on his head.
He cringed as his head was killing him even more now. Pulling himself up he hears something crash and shatter somewhere. His vision was a little blurry now, and he felt the blood trickling down his forehead. There had to be somewhere that he could go, and he thought of the garage. Making his way down that way he put the code into the door knowing it had been locked up for the party. His dad was taking any chances with his panhead with someone messing with it. Once the door shut behind him the sound was suddenly gone as the garage seemed to be soundproof. His ears were ringing though from the never ending sound from before.
With an unsteady breath he made his way over to his bike not even fighting the tears now. Sitting on it he laid his head down against the cool gas tank and the sobs came unable to stop them. He wasn’t feeling good at all, and when he lifted his head a while later there was a lot of blood on his bike. Had to be from where he had hit his head. A ride might help him feel better was his thoughts, and he got off pushing his bike out a side door, and around some bikes getting on his bike after making sure the garage was locked back up. If it wasn’t his dad, Rowdy, and Cain not to mention the others with bikes in there would kill him.
Starting his bike he rode down the driveway with the guards not even looking twice at him as there were sons and jr club members coming right and left. Tears were still streaming down his cheeks and there was still blood trickling down so his vision was still a bit blurred. Right now he didn’t care, he just had to get away, and hopefully clear his head. His dad and brothers as well as the others would probably never even notice he was gone. They were having too much fun. A while later he realized that the ride wasn’t helping, and he stopped not even knowing where he was. He hadn’t been this way yet. Only the other direction into town. The throbbing in his head was even worse, and all he wanted was his dad right now.
Turning his bike around he tried to wipe the tears away and the blood, but it wasn’t helping much. With a deep breath he headed back. With his vision obscured, he didn’t see the cloud of dust coming down a dirt road not far away. When he turned on the next road thinking he was going in the right direction the car came out of nowhere. Unable to stop he ran right into it, and he was suddenly flying through the air. The impact of hitting the road knocked him out.
