"Yancy Street: Hell's Eight" The Yancy Street Gang has always been a group of prideful, well intentioned hooligans. but what happens when a new crew starts muscling in? Hell's Eight, a group of Eight siblings from Hell's Kitchen, are moving in on Yancy Street territory. get ready for the ultimate street fight with guest appearances from The Thing, Daredevil, and Dr. Strange.
the thing is the siblings are without parents, living in an apartment being raised by their older cousins. the family name is Davies.
Jack is the oldest sibling at 17. he dreams of getting out of the Kitchen and being discovered as a rapper (yes he is white). He is the reluctant leader of his siblings and very protective, even though at times he sees them as a reason he may not get out.
Jamie is 15, and she is the muscle of the family. she plays basketball, football, and any sport where there is plenty of contact. She'll be the first to admit she's not that bright. However she is hoping to get a scholarship to college.
Reg and Jane are 14 and twins. they are the brains of the family. highly intelligent and often very arrogant. despite their intelligence, they are still trouble makers like the rest of their family. they probably could test out of high school. they have their own made up language they talk to each other in.
Mike is 12, and wants to be like his big sister Jamie. he plays sports and is basically her side kick. his catch phrase is "Yeah," which he says any time Jamie has made a declaritive statement.
Josh is 11 and a mutant with telekinetic powers. the cousins who are raising him don't know, but his older siblings do. They don't tell anyone because they are afraid he'll have to leave. Josh is the quietest of the group, afraid to get angry because of his powers.
Amy is 9, and absolutely hyper. she might have ADHD, but the family can't afford to get her tested. she is smart for her ages, but doesn't have the attention span to apply it. she can seem like a lunatic (especially on sugar) but she often suprises her siblings by spouting out a big fact at an important time.
Dave is 6, and is mixed race black/white. He is the only one with a different name. his last name is Jones. he is half brother to the rest, but not one of them will ever say "Half". he often feels unsure about his place with his family and can be very introverted if this is ever brought up.
Rachel is 25 and works as a clerk in the district attorney's office. she is trying to take night classes so she can get a law degree, but taking care of the kids gets in the way of that. not to mention she has mixed feelings about the D.A.
Davis is 23 and works at as a cabbie. He resents having to help raise his cousins, but knows it was what his parents and Uncle would have wanted. Davis is cold, often the disciplinarian when he and Rachel have time to notice things the kids do wrong.
