This thread is a showcase of roleplay, we'll be documenting our character's development as they attempt to grow the money tree and form a legal empire. Whilst our roleplay is primarily revolved around legal enterprise, the two primary characters concerned in this showcase are from criminal backgrounds and maintain highly illegal connections. The thread starts as the characters enter the later parts of their young adult life. Chris Tamati @jany - Past - Tamati was born in South Central Los Santos during the late nineties, his father was a Hawaiian native involved in international weapons trafficking and prostitution rings through an organized crime ring based in Hawaii's capital, Honolulu. His mother was a Turkish-born immigrant in Los Santos. Through his father, Chris is related to a ranking member of the Morningwood-based organized street gang Island Pride - Ana Kekoa. On his and mother's side he is related to Abdirahim Burhaan, an established Los Santos businessman and jeweller with connections to the Turkish Mafia in Liberty City. Due to the lucrative involvement his father had in high-level crime, Chris grew up for the most part comfortable and excelled throughout school. He moved to Morningwood in Middle School, loosely associating with his cousin and her friends which at the time was a relatively new street crew comprising of members from a Pacific Islander / Polynesian background. Not long into his Freshman year of high school, Chris and three accomplices where involved in a home invasion which went south. After trying to escape through a small window, Chris was shot in the back of the leg - he just about managed to return home, where his father found him and took him to the emergency room. Following the incident, Chris' father began to treat him entirely different - he enforced an half an hour after-school curfew and forced Chris to stay inside and study. During this period of seclusion, an adolescent Tamati began to build up a rebellious attitude. He began to develop a stubborn, deceiving attitude - an attitude that is still seen today. Before long Tamati was sneaking out of his house and mixing with his gang - selling narcotics and robbing other small teenage drug dealers, spiralling deep into a life of crime. In early 2015, Chris and three other associated broke into a large family home on the outskirts of Los Santos, they got away with over $7000 worth of goods and escaped in an Obey I-Wagen was was parked in the drive-way. An hour later they where apprehended by the LSPD at a gas station, Chris was a minor at the time and was sentenced lightly - he plead guilty and was released from the Twins four months later. After missing graduation and returning to freedom, his parents forced Chris to leave the family home and move in with relatives in the State of Liberty, he began working as a chef in a local restaurant. A few months later, Chris had made contact with his cousin from his mother's side - a well-known affluent businessman and commercial property mogul. Chris began to work for his cousin, shadowing him and learning exactly how to do his job. Chris stayed in Liberty City for 7 years until he was 25, he was making $350,000 a year ((Month)) working for his cousin. Chris' other cousin, the same cousin's younger brother - Abdirahim lived in Los Santos and owned a jewellery store. Seven years detached from his family and friends began to play a toll on Chris and so he decided to move back to Los Santos with what he had in order to work with his cousin. By now he had obtained all of his certifications and was licensed to operate a real estate agency, bringing back with him extensive knowledge in the property market and a healthy pot of savings - the sky is the limit. - Present - discord: janicethe7th
