REDNECKS ONCE UPON A TIME In America, the word redneck entered the public consciousness in the early 1800s. For nearly two hundred years, it was used for: poor, Southern (important! Not South America, but the Southern states of the United States of America) For whites, it was used by people from the better class to refer to the poorer inhabitants of rural settings. It was a pejorative term for farmers who supported populist reforms. For white Presbyterians living in North Carolina to communists for unionized white coal miners (in West Virginia, Northern Kentucky, Western Pennsylvania, Southern Illinois, and Indiana) to any white racist, regardless of class status or birthplace These are all fairly derogatory descriptions and are probably what most people think of when they hear the word redneck. Originally, the term was used for red-neck farmers working in agriculture, whose necks turned red after working long hours. In addition, it was also used, for example, against Southerners who wore red scarves at political meetings, who claimed that the scarf was a badge of class pride for the county's populist voters. Interesting fact: the black Southerners used to make fun of the poor white country people (white country people = white trash, crackheads, and peckerwoods). REDNECK ELEGANCE In the 1970s, it became fashionable to be a redneck. During and after Carter's presidency, the word redneck chic came into the public consciousness. In the late 1980s, a salesman working in Jackson, Mississippi, distinguished redneck elegance from those who live in a trailer somewhere in Rankin County, in the area of: "There are the classy rednecks who just mow the lawn in the back garden, wear designer jeans, and go out to eat at Shoney's once every three weeks." POSTMODERN REDNECKS We are in the 1990s, where the newly-exploded country music craze is raging with stars such as Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, or even Sawyer Brown, whose video clips feature rich, wealthy "rednecks" and do many, many things that are not redneck-worthy at all. Such a person, for example, is Phil Robertson, known from the Duck Dynasty, who said the following about postmodern rednecks: "These people mostly resemble educated, white, middle- or upper-middle-class North Louisiana guys like the ones I (and most of the Duck Dynasty crew) went to school with. These rednecks, who wear camouflage, dropped out of school just to shoot deer and ducks all day, and who go everywhere with quads. Nowadays, these are the "rednecks" who post on social media about their family, the Grand Canyon, Disneyland, and themselves posing next to a shot deer." ROLEPLAY That's enough of the history; let's get to the essence of the topic: how to roleplay a redneck character. As you can read in the lines above, the definition of a poor, farming peasant stood its ground in the 1800s; in 2021, the approach is completely different, but the word itself (REDNECK) is still just a label, a bad adjective. In order for you to realistically portray such a character, you must be aware of the basics, concepts, and events. Examples include the Confederacy, the American Civil War, past and present American politics, and American presidents and their views. As everywhere, uniqueness is the most important thing here. Your character can have a basic job found in every second redneck character, such as: Store employee (salesperson, stock loader, etc.) Gas station employee (salesman, salesman, etc.) Mechanic Farmer (not so common in Nevada) Truck driver Car racer (Nascar, Off-Road) However, in addition to basic, overworked work, your character should definitely have something unique. It can be a hobby, a profession, something we are very good at and I could list more. A few examples: Making music Drawing Gardening, other work around the house Hiking Motorcycling, car racing (as a hobby) Hunting Assembly (as a hobby) It is also important to mention that rednecks are also illiterate. They have phones and use social media just like you or me. They post, share experiences and comment. SOME INTERESTING THINGS, VIDEOS, MOVIES Redneck Games: Mudding Mudding is a famous competition among rednecks. People compete with each other in the mud to see who can get faster and farther with their pickup full of people in the muddy bed. Tug-of-war Tug of war is not everyday for rednecks either. They connect two cars or tractors with a rope and see whose vehicle is stronger and who can pull the other. Drinking Games Various drinking contests are also popular games among rednecks. Who drinks the most, the fastest and the rest. Mudpit belly flop The mudpit belly flop is a sport similar to synchronized jumping, redneck style. A pit is filled with muddy water and the contestants have to splash in the mud with the best stunt to win.

Edgar Padilla Edgar Padilla also known as "Acid" was born October 22, 1983 in West Las Vegas, Nevada, ex-gang member that was well known for being involved in a various criminal partnerships and activities, such as kidnapping, armed robbery, human trafficking and furthermore instilled criminal actions.

Born and raised in the tough streets of West Las Vegas, Naked Street. Edgar grew up surrounded by poverty, crime, and violence.

He began working at a local metal fabrication and repairs shop at just around the corner from Naked St. Various years later time was spent in prison for drug trafficking, assault, and further issues arising. Edgar decided it was in his and his families best interest to turn tides and work his way along different means of income, professionally. After years of civil conflicts rising in his own gangs ranks there was only one way to go, and that was out. After finalizing a few last promises out in Nevada he turned haste towards Los Santos to meet with his cousin that eventually got him a job working for a garage out north. Months passed and he started to get a cleaner reputation around his end of the street, dipping his hands into business and more lucrative and organized terms of income.
