About Frankie: Frankie lives with his mom on Fudge Lane; His father is deceased over some street beef back in El Rio. His stepfather left his mom and that was the whole reason Frankie moved with her to East Los Santos. She had relatives in the Hills. Frankie's older brother doesn't really get in contact with anyone from the family, he never talks about him either. His brother was a member of the Troublestreet 13 gang in El Rio, same as his father. Frankie grew up in a really fucked-up environment, seeing guns and drugs his whole life, probably why he doesn't bother himself much when he's around the street gangsters from Hillside. Growing up, Frankie usually liked to hang around his friends; which usually resulted in him hanging around the neighborhood gangsters. He heard a lot about his father getting killed over the neighborhood and his older brother getting locked up for life for the same reason. After moving out of El Rio and living in Oxnard. Frankie developed a lot of friendships with the kids from E Street. They usually got into fights with the gangsters from El Rio's rivalry, the Colonia Chiques. In High School, Frankie was heavily bullied for being from El Rio, which is why he stood up and held his ground after gathering his friends and forming a 'small clique' just for bullshitting and fighting off the Colonia Chiques older kids from his school. Frankie is a stick up kid, he doesn't care nor think about the consequences his actions will bring into his life. He's a down to earth kid, which makes him unpredictable when it comes to the streets. Being brought up in a gang-neighborhood environment, Frankie was always around gangsters, his whole life growing up he saw people getting shot at, killed, jumped, jacked, that's why this life is the easier path to him, the family and camaraderie is the reason why this kind of life pulls him in that direction, he wasn't around when his brother was still around nor his father, so Frankie never had a father or an older brother figure in his life. Even his mother had history being a homegirl from the neighborhood and the house was always surrounded by his mom's friend which were cholas from back in the days. Frankie is somewhat a happy kid, even though he went through a lot. But his mental condition has been deteriorating after he's been spending time with the Tokers on Amarillo Vista. Being shot at by the Bloods and receiving the freshly news from back home that one of his best friends got killed. He's been going through some heavy stuff, doping himself and drinking a lot. You can usually find him with baggy eyes from the lack of sleep and always looking over his shoulder, paranoid because of the night the bloods shot up Vista. Original Backstory: Frankie was born & raised in El Rio, 15 y/o, 5'4 slightly chubby kid with an attitude, yet quiet & observant. Back in his old neighborhood, Frankie used to look up to his older homies as the cool guys from the block, always getting inspired and trying to fit in with the kids of his age that kicked back around them aswell. Back home, Frankie used to be called Rabbit, 'cause he was always eating raw carrots on his way to Junior High, when he walked by Balboa, where the big homies used to chill, he was always yelled at by them; 'Yo Rabbit! Wassup homie, why you got that carrot on your mouth dawg! Are you Bugs Bunny or sum'thin ese? *laughs* & *laughs*'. Being from El Rio, the gang that resided in that area used to be El Rio TST 13 aka Troublestreet, the homies used to kick in the Balboa block, dissin' everytime possible the rival gang, Colonia Chiques. After a couple of years growing up in that neighborhood, Frankie's parents decided to move out of El Rio, to Oxnard. Frankie was against it because all his friends was in El Rio, his school and all the girls he used to hit on. After getting to Oxnard, everywhere Frankie went, was infested with Colonia Chiques small cliques, even at the new school that he was forced to go to by his parents. By the time Frankie got to High School, he already had a tattoo on his hand flashing the 'E.R' as in 'El Rio', which in that neighborhood might be a huge issue with the older kids. Being bullied from left and right for being an outsider, Frankie gathered a small group of friends that hated the Colonia Chiques and everyday at school, they would get into fades, fighting each other for getting in their faces and trying to size them up. It got to a point where Frankie's mother got called to the school and was yelled at by the school principal, giving him the warning that if he didn't stop getting into fights, he would get suspended or else, expelled from the school. Problem is, the school didn't understand Frankie's struggle, as for him it was about self-defense and holding his ground whenever anyone got to his face about where he came from. By this time, Frankie's stepfather left his mom for another woman and moved out, leaving his mom devastated by it. As a result, she decided to leave Ventura to move back into her mom's house in East Los Santos, as a consequence, Frankie had to go with her. Arriving at East Los Santos, Frankie did nothing but get into arguments with his mother, which made him leave the house every single day, tired of being yelled at or held accountable for his stepfather's mistakes, being the only man in the house.
