SYNOPSIS:
Franklin Michaels has a reputation as one of the world's best cat
burglars and a smooth-talking ladies man who until now lived a life for
fast money and faster women; but when U.S. government agents finally
caught up with him, they revealed to him that his real name is Jet
James, the unknown great-grandson of the infamous bank robber, Jesse
James. They also offered him amnesty from prison under the condition

a sharp-shooting ex-mobster and weapons expert; Suzuki, a super-powered
ninja warrior; and Francine, a bookish former accountant, Jet travels
the world, "stealing" financial assets from various criminal

starting as a fledgling cat burglar. Roland and Franklin became
trusting comrades are pulled several jobs together. Then one day, on a
routine score in Amsterdam where the duo was hired by a crime syndicate
to steal a transport containing valuable diamonds which were shipped
from South Africa, Rolly got greedy and double-crossed Franklin. He
stole the transport and left Franklin as the mercy of the syndicate's
henchmen. Roland, now a rival of his former partner and knows that he
now goes by the name of Jet James (he thinks it is Franklin's new
alias, not his real name) and was assembling his team, Rolly thought,
as a act of payback to his betrayal. To stay one step ahead to Jet's
jobs, Rolly assembles his own team consisting of former NBA
player-turned-robber and sharpshooter Wyatt Murdock, Detroit-based
strongman Chicago Joey, and Japanese Ninja-wannabe Kentaro Kuzuki.
Rolly's gang tracks down Jet and his crew and finds out what their
latest score is and hopes to get to the destination before Jet does.
Rolly is a greedy, selfish opportunist. He is also an occasional
goof-off, screwing up a plan before even his gang nearby executes it.
But when push comes to shove, he can be as dangerous as any
professional. He is sometimes infuriated by his teammates screw-ups,
exerting psychical abuse (although comical) to Joey and Kentaro. But he
does have the utmost respect for Wyatt, trusting the 6 feet tall
sharpshooter with his life due to the fact that Wyatt saved him on a
few occasions. Rolly is determined to outwit and outmatch his former
partner Jet and humiliate him whatever it takes, and get to steal the
loot for himself in the process. His favorite hobby is betting on horse
races. His favorite food is club sandwiches with an overdose of
mayonnaise and mustard. Despite his porkly physique, Rolly is an
experienced cat burglar with surprisingly moderate agility (although he
is slightly accident-prone) and expertise in safecracking; he also used
to trade secrets with Jet. He is also an experienced wheelman although
he now leaves the driving to Wyatt. Rolly is somewhat trained in judo
and karate, but he ends up losing in a fight and usually gets the
business end of a hard right fist. He is also trained weapons and
demolitions expert. He is trained in computer hacking and operating

Chicago Joey–
Joey York Platt, also known as Chicago Joey (though despite the
nickname, he was actually born and raised in Detroit, Michigan), is
"Rolly" Russell's resident strongman and muscle for their gang's
various jobs and heists. Joey started out at accounting school, but due
to his dim wittiness and somewhat lower IQ, he dropped out soon after.
Penniless, Joey desperately tried to apply for any job but was rejected
for his lack of concentration. He soon joined a Mafia clan where they
recruited him to pull tasks that require physical strength. When a
rival mob clan kidnapped Joey's mother and blackmail him to pull a
heist at his employer's bank vault, he refused and stormed back in the
house where his mother was held hostage, which led to a huge
bare-knuckle brawl which decapitated most of the hostage takers. With
his mother now on the Witness Protection Plan, Joey left the mob and
offered his services as a mercenary for the highest bidder. Later, a
professional thief by the name of Roland "Rolly" Russell heard about
the hostage incident and approached Joey, inviting him to join his new
band of thieves. Joey happily accepted, and soon became Russell's
talented but dimwitted muscleman. Although admired and trusted for his
physical prowess and presence, Joey is otherwise has the reputation of
being one of the gang's resident dimwit, punching bag and half-klutz.
Every time he screw up a task, he gets subjected to Rolly's physical
(albeit slapstick) abuse (i.e. being bonked in the head by Rolly's
fist, or being slapped around repeatedly). Joey is also has a grudge
with former accountant and rival Francine La Florence (from the gang of
US Government covert agent Jet James, who coincidentally is also the
main rival of Rolly Russell), Joey is extremely jealous of Florence
becoming what he wanted to be but failed to do so; he engage Florence
is a "Brawn vs. Brains" battle of wits where somehow Florence
manageably outwit's the muscle-bound oaf. Despite his moronic
qualities, Joey is still the only man to turn to when a heist calls for
heavy lifting and other menial tasks. His favorite hobby is listening
to heavy metal music in his MP3 player. His favorite food to Tuna salad
sandwich (like the one that his mother used to make). Goofball traits
aside, Joey possess peak near-superhuman strength and stamina which is
maintain through a daily continuous regiment of weightlifting and
exercise; he can lift extremely heavy objects and bend steel with
relative ease, and is useful for several physical-oriented jobs. His is
a championship Greco-Roman wrestler and is heavily trained in
American-style boxing and street brawling. Despite his lower IQ he has
some training in accounting and money management. Although he normally
hates firearms, through Russell he is extensively trained in light
weapons, including a 5.56mm six-barreled gatling-type minigun and an
RPG rocket launcher and occasionally carries a S&W sub nose
revolver during bank heists.
