Snoot Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Juan "Skitz" Mendez († 05/29/2021) was a member of the HILLSIDE 13 street gang. At the age of sixteen Juan ran from home after his mother fell into a heavy heroin addiction following the death of his father in a work accident. Introduced to members of the gang by his long-time friend Samuel "Spooky" Herrera, Juan quickly realised that the gang is where he can find a new family. Due to his bad habit of skipping school to smoke weed with his friends, Juan eventually dropped out of high school with nothing in hand. No money, nothing - turning to live in Samuel "Spooky" Herreras garage for a long time, and selling weed in small amounts for the Street Captain of the local gang, Damian "Devil" Reyes in order to prove himself and to make a buck or two for food. Juan was never a smart guy, never really paid attention in school or skipped class entirely, so he always struggled with selling drugs, as the math of it would never quite get into his head. After proving his mettle through a small amount of sales and won fights against other gang members, Juan made it into the "Krazy Tokers" clique of the gang, where he was given the name "Skitz" for his generally fairly skittish behaviour around more well-established figures within the gang. Wether it be through small-time sales, fights or defense within the varrio, Juan eventually made his way into the big leagues, jumped into the gang through a thirteen second long beating. Time passes, and things turn bad for the gang not long after Juan is released from a short stretch in jail after evading the police, as many big figures within the gang are arrested for racketeering charges, leaving Juan in a difficult spot without anyone to reach out to outside of jail. Juan took the chance and used the time to put in work on the streets to further prove himself to his big homies, convinced they will be back out in the near future. However with tensions within the gang rising, allegations of snitching making rounds, these times were anything but easy for Juan, forcing him into a tight spot. From this point on, things only turned for the worse over time. Samuel "Spooky" Herrera - Murdered. Javier "Bandit" Huerta - Suicide. Rocio "Happy" Tamayo - Murdered. After the events surrounding these deaths, Damian "Devil" Reyes returns from jail. The leadership on the street changes. Everything went well for good a while, and the gang seemed to be back to where it stood before the arrests. After events surrounding the deaths of several members of the "Backstreet" clique the clique is reformed under a different name and leadership. There has always been tension between the two cliques for as far as Juan could remember, hower one night, an altercation between the cliques results in the death of six members of the gang, including the "Krazy Tokers"' Street Captain Alejandro "Raider" Oliveras, and Santiago "Panic" Fuentes, both members of the gang that Juan grew up with from a young age. With the gang in shambles, and his old friends dead, Juan was set out to set things right, dead-set on his goal of killing the remaining two that killed the people he grew up with. Juan found relief one night as, after a brief chase, he shot and killed one of the perpetrators, Robert "Risky" Mendez in his car. Confident and dead-set on finishing the job, he posted up and waited for the right moment, for Angel "Snoopy" Dominguez, the last remaining leader of the Fudge Lane clique. However, the moment was not right. Juan turned out to be too confident for his own good. This character was created on the 5th December 2020 and his story ended on the 29th May 2021.
