HOME | DD

Description
Name: Lauryn Josephine Robertson

Age: 22

Height: 5'7"

Weight: 169 lbs

From: South Side of Neo City

Species: Brown Spotted Hyena

Occupation: DJ and occasional dancer - The Neon Shogun (best known there as "DJ Jo")

Family: Eric (Father, alcoholic serving time in jail and rehabilitation for abuse and at times child neglect), Paula (Mother, also alcoholic serving time in jail and rehabilitation for abuse and child neglect), Jerry (Uncle, Radio DJ of NCR, Neo City Radio, currant guardian with Melissa of Jo), Melissa (Aunt)

Likes: Dancing, music, martial arts, help making people smile (almost spontaneously thanks to her big toothy smiles and grins), practicing Capoeira, pedicures (only on occasion does she paint her nails, though they would be covered by her footwear)

Dislikes: Excessive drinking and alcoholism (since it reminds her of her parents and past), drug gangs (and gangs in general), getting sloppy slipping in her DJ/Dance work (she loves to give a good show whenever she could), dark places (like alleyways and dimly lit rooms)

Gender: Female

Bio: Life isn't always easy for those living in Neo City's South Side, thanks to the drug gangs and thugs of all sorts. But if there's ever an example of those able to escape the rough and tumble lifestyle that has to offer, someone like Lauryn Robertson, or simply Jo to family and friends, is such gal.

Or for those in the know is also DJ Jo, a DJ and occasional dancer of one of Neo City's hippest clubs, "The Neon Shogun" of Mini Tokyo.

Of course growing up wasn't so humble for the hyena. Outside of trying to avoid the gangsters and hoods every chance she got, once inside the home she had abusive alcoholic parents Eric and Paula to deal with growing up. If she wasn't being watched or at times accosted by gangsters and dealers, she'd be unfairly punished for not having good enough grades, unmade bedroom or not cleaning or getting their drink fast enough. At times, their drunken arguments would have her crying in her sleep at night.

Other family members like her uncle Jerry and aunt Melissa didn't think her parent's alcoholism was this serious till one day during a surprise visit, discovered that Jo was badly beaten when she finally had enough and approached them about their drinking problem, which didn't sit well with the then drunk and furious parents. Discovering this, they contacted the authorities and the two were sent to jail and eventually extended rehab while Jo lives with the much loved uncle and aunt.

If there was one thing that helped her though such harsh times was her love of music, singing (though personal not a good singer but would find herself humming and singing herself to sleep since childhood), and eventually freestyle dancing. This is helped by the fact that Jerry is a long time beloved and respected DJ of Neo City Radio, while he and Melissa are practitioners in the art of Capoeira; a Brazilian mix of dance, music and martial arts. It was that as well as practicing martial arts to protect herself, that would eventually spark her DJ career. And years later after training, expertise and sharpening her skills, eventually got the attention of the owner of the The Neon Shogun.

Growing up in a abusive home and encountered by the gangs and dealers has made her a tough, sassy and street smart hyena, but one that's an all around decent, friendly and chill to be all around.

Though currently living in a better part of town, she does her best to fight against the growing crime and gang problem in both the old neighborhood in South Side and sometimes what may do down in The Neon Shogun by anonymously reporting them to the NCPD. Out of all the cops, only two she's grown to trust to contact when something major is going down; Detectives Mei-Lin Hung, and Veronica Wolfsberg.

She knows she's doing the right thing but is also being very careful of not being found out, especially with the rise of a new crime syndicate The Queens Lords all lead by the city's first ever criminal queen pin, Cassandra Howler. They may be eyeing The Neon Shogun to take over in the future...

But of course she (and the city for that matter) has hope in the form of The Justice Fighters, and hope they could help somehow in this growing problem. Unknown to her, Veronica herself is one of them.
