Joaquin Delgado: A Bandit's Tale

[Gall]

 

This thread showcases the life & development of Joaquin "Bandit" Delgado.

 

Bandit was born Joaquin Delgado, a 34 year old of Mexican heritage living in a rundown section of Los Santos; Jamestown. The area is widely known for their consistent crime & gang activity, although Joaquin invariably steered away from the path to a gang-banger. Due to the persistent shooting taking place between the local Jamestown gang and La eMe, Joaquin showed a tendency towards staying in-doors to commit to his tattooing and boxing vocation. It was inevitably a path of life or death; whether to carry out his practice or pledge to the rugged life of gang-banging and wage war alongside ill-advised teenagers whilst banking dirty drug money.

 

 

Raised by Jorge Delgado, Joaquin never struggled with his relationship with his father throughout his childhood. His father's always been seen as an influential mentor, one who's been of great guidance in his jagged journey. Joaquin's aim was true, and was merely a sapling when he rode his first bike with sheer enthusiasm. The two managed to pull through financially, his father who worked as a full-time farmer in Grapeseed, Joaquin who slung candy around for every little penny. A roof over their heads, and food on the table. A common goal between the father & son to be achieved, albeit billing issues were a common occurrence throughout the years. Biking was a lifestyle of which his father truly cherished, one that was sincerely passed down to Joaquin. Biking, art & boxing; avocations that Joaquin highly values.

 

Currently residing in the projects of Jamestown alongside his sister, Mayra Delgado, Joaquin calls in on his father who's settled in a retirement home regularly throughout the week. Games of chess, reading, television and story-telling. Moments that the two savor together; a father & son bonding.

Joaquin has always been a mentor figure to Mayra. An introverted fifteen year old girl who looks up to her older brother. Times can certainly be rough for the two, even so they managed to pull through their monetary grapple. Joaquin raises Mayra in the neighborhood of Jamestown, in hopes of straying her away from the frenzied gang life. Bandit works extensive shifts in hopes to move out of the Jamestown area and settle elsewhere along with his younger sister.

 

 

Although school has never seemed appealing to Joaquin, he's graduated from High School in ethics of his father's encouragement. His performance in art was exceptional, his steps progressively led to the field of tattooing. Only recently scoring a job in MayheM Ink, a tattoo shop located next door in Roy Lowenstein Boulevard, Joaquin has captured the local neighborhood's attention with outstanding tattooing performances and seeks prosperity. The employment has certainly bolstered his financial status, only to secure a permanent home in the Jamestown projects. Long hour shifts and heaps of appointments surged through.

 

However, the income wasn't fulfilling. Joaquin participated in cage fights as a sideline vocation for supplementary cash, which led to a compact relationship between himself and his coach Wagner. Vespucci Sports' manager, Samuel Camastra was initially hesitant with Joaquin - given his ghetto background. He was given a shot regardless, his debut fight was in queue. His debut fight in the Vespucci Sports tournament led to a knockout victory, to which his opponent was sent to the hospital due to critical conditions. Camastra was struck with uttermost disbelief at the display, his doubts about Joaquin had perished. The results were certainly a motivational strike to Joaquin's determination for fighting.

 

 

He was introduced to a group of motorcyclists by a mutual friend who branded themselves as a Motorcycle Club; Gravedwellers MC. The close-knit brotherhood, the parties, the roaring bikes and rides, the women - it all appealed to Joaquin. His eyes gleamed in great fondness, achingly determined to blend in and fly the reaper on his back. Presently a prospect of the club, Joaquin seeks to progress through the prospective stage; a proving grounds to validate your undying loyalty, value and resistance to the club. Striving to make it through and stand among the full members.

 

Shockingly, things did take a turn. Throughout his prospective stage, Bandit managed to get along with very few people. A sense of bonding was lacking between himself and the majority of members - perhaps he didn't fit in. He felt out of place and was not quite fond of the principles he'd discovered throughout his time. Upon discovering a group of Vagos MC nomads in the state, a tight relationship was established between him and the group. Upon progressive build-up, Bandit agreed on handing his GDMC colors over in exchange for a position as a Vagos MC prospect alongside the establishing nomads. As a new road's been uncovered, Bandit is optimistic and committed to earning his full colors.

 

Joaquin fit in impeccably with the group. The culture, ideologies and sense of brotherhood - he lingered to them all. The club was knit together by fierce comradery, a display that had drawn him in; brainwashed. Although, he was well aware of how the Vagos tackled obstructions. Sheer violence. For the duration of his time in the Vagos, Bandit has been involved in several stabbing incidents. It was merely a choice of adhere to the rules, or have his teeth stomped in. He took a toll to the outlaw path, somewhat aware that he's caught up in a route of savagery. Unfortunately, not aware enough to recognize it'll tarnish his balance of mind. His beliefs progressively took a turn, his sanity gradually seeping down the drain as the curtains unfold. 

 

 

Following his strained years as a prospect in the Vagos MC, Bandit finally patched in to the San Andreas Nomad chapter at the age of forty. He now remains as the chapter's Vice President.
