Spoiler:
It’s year 1915 Sacramento, California. You and other cellmates got put in jail. You’re in a medium security prison, five inmates to a cell. Nobody has ever broken out of it (partly being because it used to be maximum security) but you and a few others around the cell are officially ready for the challenge.

Name: John "Rick" Patrick
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Skill : Sneaking
Minor skill: Speed, Unarmed Combat, Persuasion
History: John grew up in a troubled Irish family in late 1800's Los Angeles. His mother was a drunken mess from the moment he was born and his brother was a drug addict. His father was mugged and killed on the streets when John was 7 and his mother had drunk herself to death by the time John was 12. He was left under the supervision of his drug addicted brother then and was destined for trouble from then on. He started using drugs himself right after his mother died and helped his brother deal. When he was 15 he found his brother passed out outside their house, and nearly overdosed. At that point, he began quitting drugs, but he stayed in the drug dealing business. At 18, they were doing a deal, that had gone real bad real quick. It was a set up. When they handed over the drugs, the police came running. John started to run away but his brother just stood there. John tried to convince him to run as well but he instead pulled a gun on the cops. He got off one shot, but it didn't take long. The cops had blown him to bits. John ran, sprinted away as quick as he could, but the cops caught up to him and tackled him to the ground. He was transported to Sacramento, California to spend the next 20 years in prison. He messed up however, getting in fights with other prisoners and even the guards. On one occasion he even tried to escape, but failed miserably. By the time he was 25, he had messed up so much, his sentence was pushed back to 35 more years.

Name: Nathan "Fleet" Leste (Goes by Nate or his nickname Fleet.)
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Skill (1 major): Parkour
Minor skill (2 the least) Speed, Stealth, Handguns
History: Nate grew up alone on the streets of Sacramento. His parents, whoever they were, left him in a gutter while he was still a child with only his name and the clothes on his back. In order to survive, he learned to steal, disappear into the shadows, handle a gun, and most of all, the art of parkour. Where others would only see an insuperable wall or an inescapable rooftop, Nate saw pathways that could lead to anywhere he desired. He eventually joined a gang of other thieves, and quickly rose through their ranks, gaining their respect. They would launch small-scale robberies on local banks and businesses, never really harming anyone, just taking the money and running. He earned his nickname, "Fleet", one day after a robbery gone horribly wrong. Nate and some of his closest friends in the gang were in the process of clearing out a bank when swarms of police showed up. Being almost completely surrounded, the band of thieves fled to the roof, and began making their escape on the rooftops. All of them were gunned down by the police as they were escaping, except for Nate. He bewildered the police, sprinting across rooftop after rooftop, evading all of their bullets. When the rest of his gang heard of the event, they quickly started calling him Fleet instead of Nate. Afterwards, he was named the leader of the gang, and took over the whole operation.
Why you are in prison: Nate lived this life of crime for a few more years. Eventually though, a disgruntled former member sold out the location of the gang, and they were captured by a police ambush. Nate was convicted of armed robbery, thieving, evading police, and other charges. He was sentenced to 30 years of prison, significantly longer than any of his friends because he was the head of the gang. At this point, he has been in prison for just over a year.
