Revelry: A Leverage Spin-off Challenge
Revelry: Because No One Takes Your Pride
Revelry
The Revelry crew is based in Manhattan, and is known in some circles as The Avenging Pride. They take LGBT cases, helping those who have been persecuted and discriminated against based on sexual orientation. The crew is led by mastermind Jason Stewart, who began helping people over a decade ago. He was slowly joined by two grifters, a thief, and a hacker, completing the team.
Their goal is to make the world a better place for all people, starting with discrimination based on sexual orientation. They each have their own reason for joining in this fight, but they stand strong together, united. Because no one takes your pride.
Jason Stewart; Alan Rickman (mastermind)
Jason Stewart used to be a curator at a fancy art museum. Now he breaks the law and undermines anyone who thinks they can step on others to get to where they want to go. His son is gay and Jason watched as he was bullied throughout his life, struggling to make his way in the world. Once financially secure, he quit his job, and began helping those who were forgotten and abused by the state. He traveled the country promoting gay rights and offering whatever aid he could to those who needed it. Jason himself is widowed and misses his wife every day and hopes she would be proud of the cause he’s devoted his life to.
Brennan; Chad Michael Murray (thief)
Brennan is a world class thief. He’s personally friends with Parker, she used to mentor him when he was younger. He’s had a crush on her for years, but will never say anything about it. He ran across Jason in an art museum and became interested in the man helping the LGBT community. Brennan’s older brother, Thomas, was gay before he killed himself when Brennan was 17. The loss of his brother shattered him.
He’s known as a joker around others, a shallow guy, but deep down, Brennan lives with pain that never goes away, and hides it from the world.
Riley Thomas; Jason Behr (hitter)
Riley Thomas is the strong silent type. He doesn’t talk to anyone other than Conor and Jason. He was abused when he was younger and swore when he was old enough to never let anyone hurt him again. He has a black belt in Tae Kwan Do and knows a variety of other fighting styles. Riley prefers to fight with knives, enjoying the feel of the weight in his hand.
He’s in a long term committed relationship with Conor, and has been for the past ten years. Conor’s the one who found Jason, and where Conor goes, so does Riley.
Conor Dunnigan; Jonathan Rhys Meyers (grifter)
Conor Dunnigan was born in Dublin, Ireland, and lived there until he was 22. After that he grifted his way to the United States and has stayed under the radar since. He met Riley on a street corner in San Francisco, took him home, and that was that. Before meeting Jason he would pull small cons on his own, manipulating people out of their money and property.
When he met Jason, he finally felt as though he was being called to do something greater with his life. He knows that Riley was abused when he was younger, a lot of that was for being gay, and Conor will do everything he can to make sure no one else ever has to go through what Riley did.
Jennifer Lorais; Lauren Graham (grifter)
Jennifer Lorais is a grifter who drifted through life taking what she wanted. When she hit 30 she realized that money didn’t help take away the empty feeling inside or comfort her at night. She wandered aimlessly for a while before running into Jason, Riley, and Conor. It’s with them that she finally found a purpose. She’s a little bit jealous of what Riley and Connor have and someday wishes to find love of her own. She has a small crush on Brennan, but won’t say anything because he’s too young for her and stuck on Parker. She’s the one the rest of the team go to when they need someone to talk to, or advice. She’s always ready to listen, and has a cup of tea and cookies waiting.
Emily Daupers; Marsha Thomason (hacker)
Emily Daupers hacked into her first server at the age of nine. Since then, she’s lived in the cyber world. Online she’s known as Artemis, and is a force to be reckoned with. She joined up with Jason when she was 21, her parents think she’s at a college overseas. She’s never dated, but she thinks she’s gay, she’s just too afraid to come out. Jennifer knows, but told Emily to wait until she was ready. Emily is quiet and enjoys spending time in silence with Riley. She also loves to cook and is constantly cooking for the rest of the team, trying out new recipes here and there.
