ASCU original Character Origin
Ross

The story
Behind the conflict
Ross is the standalone origin lane for material too personal and foundational to sit entirely inside Chemical Bonds. It preserves the family history, Webster Ross threads, inheritance questions, and early decisions that shaped the later criminal architecture.
The arc is intentionally positioned as an expanding canon record. Its purpose is to give the Ross family room to breathe as people before the crime saga turns them into institutions, rivals, casualties, and legends inside Dominion City's underworld.
