Backstory:
Born and raised on the gritty blocks of 79th & Essex, the Rosewood family has always been tightly bonded by struggle, survival, and blood. Life in the South Side of Chicago wasn’t easy — poverty, violence, and systemic pressure molded their every move. But through it all, the Rosewood name carried respect.
Keif and Nahmir, the twins, were known for being inseparable. Growing up, they were either hooping at the courts dodging trouble, or grinding to help put food on the table. While Keif was the more calculated, business-minded twin, Nahmir had a wild side — quick-tempered but loyal to a fault. Together, they were a balanced force on the streets and in the household.
Their friend Jayshaun Benett, as his name suggests, was the one who kept the family grounded. After their pops was taken by the streets when they were young, Jayshaun stepped up as the man of the house. He never let his friends fall too deep into the street life, though even he had his share of past demons. His name still rings bells from back in the day, but now, he’s focused on helping the family find a legit way out.
The cousin & older brother, Finesse and Jayce, were always around. finesse, the quiet one, keeps to himself but is sharp and deadly when needed. Jayce? He’s the heart — wild, funny, unpredictable — always keeping spirits high, even when things go left. Together, they all move as a unit. Family first, no exceptions. Now in their early 20s, the Rosewoods are at a crossroads. The streets keep calling, offering fast money and dangerous respect. But they’ve lost too many friends, seen too many funerals, and now they’re trying to flip the script. Keif is learning real estate. Rahmir’s focused on music and community outreach. Loyal’s pushing them into business moves. Finesse wants to open a barbershop, and Jayce is dabbling in fashion design.
But nothing comes easy in the hood. The past doesn’t let go easily, and enemies remember old names. Whether they’ll truly make it out or get pulled back in is the story still being written…
The Rosewood Family – 79th & Essex, Chicago
Family Motto: "Loyalty over everything."
Main Characters:
Keif Rosewood (Twin)
Nahmir Rosewood (Twin)
Jayshaun Benett (Younger friend)
Finesse Rosewood (Older Brother)
Jayce Rosewood (Cousin)
Criminal History:
2017 – Possession of counterfeit money (caught pushing fake bills at a corner store)
2019 – Wire fraud conspiracy (low-level involvement in a credit card scam ring)
2020 – Resisting arrest (ran during a raid on a stash house, but caught three blocks away)
Notes: Keif always played the background. His crimes were more about money than violence. He’s trying to go legit through real estate now, but those fraud charges still follow him. Nahmir Rosewood – "The Hustler"
2019 – Shoplifting & petty theft (boosted clothes from a downtown mall)
2021 – Drug possession with intent to distribute (caught with Molly and weed packaged for sale)
2023 – Laundering proceeds of criminal activity (allegedly using his streetwear brand to clean trap money)
Notes: Nahmir knows how to talk his way out of almost anything. He keeps his crimes low-key but flashy. Cops know he’s moving, just can’t catch him right.
