— Trevor Halstone was born in 1937, in East Falls, United States, and raised in a well-respected upper-class family in East Falls. His parents considered him "handsome"; he inherited the trait of being charming and masculine from a very young age, confidence fueled inside him — but at the cost of his egoistic behaviors and aggressive behavior. During his toddler years, he was known to be a charming public speaker at his school. His words were filled with passion and confidence, enough to sway anybody unto his side. Most importantly, his looks, he didn't go out of his home without putting on good clothes, his black suit, red tie, dark shades and well-kept hair, his expensive perfume, bought by his parents for the sake of his curiosity.

As he entered his early teens, his interests drifted toward mathematics and financial education. He wanted to live up to his parents' expectations, it was the worst day for him when he didn't meet them — and so, he went on.

In his teenage years, changes began taking over him. He started hanging out with girls from his school, impressed by his charm — they came over for house parties strictly organized by Trevor and his friends. This led Trevor into a dark zone in his life. Even though there was joy, he struggled to make enough space to study, which at the age of 16 caused his grades to fall drastically. Not being able to live up to his parents' expectations, they took away his car and choked him with their words. This was the first time in Trevor's life that he felt his ego fall apart. He began working hard again and finally succeeded in passing his Finance College, with a 4.6 GPA, his egoistic behaviors returned, but fueled by being an adult, he knew no one could stop him now.

— Trevor got his hands on an old 64' Chevrolet Impala, his own two-floor house around a wealthy area, along with a few of his friends — he had left for New York, Wall Street for work — in it, he worked in the Stock Exchange for around one year, under a growing company called Woodson Enterprises, but eventually, he left after realizing that he did not want to work under someone. He came back to East Falls with knowledge on his mind, knowing the people of East Falls were hungry for better work, and so he opened — Halstone Enterprises with the dream of making the best company in the entire city, a force that would be in competition with the rest of their neighboring cities.

Trevor began discussing along with a few of his founder friends about the potential ideas, they finally settled on Real Estate — even though this would not be their only business; they were going to be a Franchise.

It was a fine evening in the city of East Falls, Trevor, along with his entourage of friends made their way to the local bar in East Falls' busiest district, they hopped out of their loud cruisers and made their way to the bar. Everyone was impressed to see Trevor, thanks to his father's influential life and work, their plan was to get as much drunk as they could, it was a Friday night, what could stop them? As Trevor ordered his drink, his eyes fell on a pretty Irish woman. She had a gorgeous body. Trevor, in his leather jacket slowly turned his eyes towards his friends, a hidden grin on his face.

— "Yo, isn't she fine?"

His friend looked over, nodding in agreement — indeed she was gorgeous, Trevor began making his way to her, his hand wrapped around his alcohol bottle, he slowly approached her and asked her name, where she was, why she was at the bar, in exchange he told her the same.

They conversed for a while and felt a deep bond within each other, it was love at first-sight for Trevor.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.
    So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Shakespeare ( Sonnet 18)

— They found a deep bond within each other, while the girl, whose name was; Maeve discovered his intricate personality, he explored her — and showed her around, as she hadn't lived around the city as long as him.

They bonded from drinks to physical affection, long drives at the East Falls Highways, with her hands up, feeling the air while he drove — Bryan Adams playing on the speaker of his car, it was all good memories for them.

Quick to get settled, Maeve moved out to Trevor's house, where they both made a living from their own work — she was a surgeon and Trevor was the CEO of his own business, they had gotten pretty busy in their work.

Eventually, they married each other through their Christian faith, they weren't too keen on their religious life, more about each other and their workplaces — Trevor himself had also decided on a very outgoing and distinct personality for himself, but he was just getting started at his ventures.

What would you do if someone came into your place of business and began to cause trouble OOC?

Our response would differ depending on the situation. If it was a verbally violent form of trouble, such as slurs, or insults, we would report their behavior to a staff member.

If it was trolling, we would warn them to quit their annoying behavior and if they persist, report the situation to a staff member and ask them to deal with it.

What would you do if someone came into your place of business and began to cause trouble IC?

The business favors a polite way to de-escalate professionally, if the person does not budge after a few warnings, they would have to either kick him out or call the police on the person.

In addition, rumors claim that Mr. Halstone has ties with criminal entities who would be eager to sort out their issues, if they persist, for the right buck.

How would your business greet and provide service to customers (e.g. “Hello! What will you be getting today? *The man began to click into the register, getting ready to serve the customer.*)?:

The business has many posters hung up around the city and advertisements on TV to contact them through their line, as customers ring it – they would be greeted with:

“Halstone Enterprises, how may I help you”

The tone would be confident and assuring, as the customer would ask them about their properties, the person on the other line would note down all their needs and provide them with one of the phone numbers of their real estate agents. The agent would pick up their call, and call them to a meeting place or if possible; their office for a discussion and explore the properties perfect for their customer.

Alternatively, they can also be sold an apartment which they have already explored and want to purchase.
