Antonio Shawn O’Neal

Dark Chicago       The Usual Suspects    People    Criminal    Elm St. Saints      Tone O'Neal

Description

Tone’s built like a brick wall and moves like he knows it. Thick-shouldered, barrel-chested, and always wearing a coat two sizes too small over a dress shirt that’s never buttoned all the way up. He’s Big Saint’s shadow—quieter, meaner, but just as loyal. His nose has been broken more times than he’s said “please,” and his smile never reaches his eyes. Most folks don’t know if he can read, but everyone knows he can kill.

Personality

Tone is the kind of man who doesn’t talk unless it’s important—or unless Big Saint tells him to. He’s a brute with a brain, and while he’s more than happy to knock heads, he listens before he swings. Fiercely protective of the neighborhood and even more so of Kenny, Tone sees himself as the sword to Big Saint’s shield. He keeps his emotions bottled deep down where the pressure turns them sharp.

Habits

Runs his tongue over his teeth cleaning them before violence, like a ritual

Never walks on manhole covers—claims it's bad luck

Polishes his pistol every Sunday, like it’s a relic

Carries a photo of his little sister in his wallet, checks it before every job

Hooks & Angles

Took a bullet meant for Big Saint five years ago, still walks with a slight limp

Has history with the Bonepickers—something dark, something buried, but not forgotten

Believes someone in the crew is selling them out, but won’t act without proof

Saw something in the Veil during a job gone wrong and hasn’t been the same since—he won’t talk about it, but he sleeps with the lights on now
