ajacprime Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 DIEGO REYES circa 2021. Born into the back street projects of Magellan Avenue to Mexican American parents, Diego Reyes has always called Vespucci home. As a child Diego was quite bright and attentive, however this changed when his father left after an affair with a co-worker. His focus and general demeaner shifted after this traumatic event which left him without a male role model in his life. He was raised by single mother Maria, who in time, he would become very protective of. Maria, a nurse at Hope Health Medical Centre, always encouraged him to do well in school. However, from a young age, Diego showed signs of learning difficulties and issues with attention. This caused him to disconnect from his learning and subsequently perform poorly in his schooling. In 2017, mother Maria was involved in a violent car accident after working back-to-back overtime night shifts without proper rest. She fell asleep at the wheel and swerved into oncoming traffic where she was struck by another vehicle. Fortunately, the other party didn’t sustain major injuries, however Maria was left critically injured, and with long-lasting spinal nerve damage to her back, which to date causes her chronic pain. She also received a suspended sentence for dangerous driving and was put on a child services watch list for the wellbeing of Diego. Maria was prescribed Oxycodone medication to deal with her chronic pain. Fast forward 12 months and Maria had become addicted to the medication, abusing it on a daily basis. She was fired from Hope Health after being found stealing inventory to support her drug habit. She was later forced to take up welfare, and move out of her Magellan home with Diego as she was unable to make rent. The family of 2 then moved into the Vespucci Ghettotel, securing an ongoing room for cheap thanks to a personal friend in the complex’s management. Diego was forced to step up and provide for him and his mother. Maria received basic welfare cover for her and Diego each week, but much of this was used to support her Oxy addiction. Diego attempted to find after school work, however when that failed, began stealing from nearby convenience stores and scamming people on Vespucci beach with a friend from the neighbourhood. He then graduated to selling small amounts of marijuana and breaking into cars and personal property to scrape by. Today, Diego is a 16 year old hustler and aspiring street artist. He is enrolled in Vespucci High School, but has a poor attendance record – mostly only showing up for art classes and P.E. Diego spends the rest of his time running low level scams around the bayside area, and hustling for what little money he can to survive. Operating under the moniker DCYHPR, Diego also spends a large amount of time vandalizing local property with graffiti art. He uses the painting as a form of expression, and a creative outlet. It is his one true passion in life, and the only thing he has which brings him joy. Diego is ultra-protective of his mother, despite her now crippling addiction and general neglect for her child. He is determined to continue providing for them, irrespective of the means as she is all he has. He has a survivalist attitude, low attention span and can become aggressive if cornered, or made to feel insecure. He also has problems with authority, stemming from numerous police and child services encounters. Locals describe him as a delinquent with a silver tongue, a reference to his charisma and ability to smooth talk. He is also easily persuaded and often succumbs to peer pressure.
