Elwood Murphy's Back Story

 

Elwood Murphy was born May 7th, 1982 and is a 39 year old Caucasian man that has spent the majority of his life living on Cholla Springs Ave. in Sandy Shores in a run down old house if you can even call it that.

 

Elwood's father left his mother while she was still pregnant with him, So He was Born and raised in Sandy Shores by his mother alone. Eventually he inherited the property from his mother after her unfortunate death when he was 21 years old. Following that Elwood struggled to take care of himself, working part time jobs where he could to try and support himself, but often coming up short on his bills. One thing kept his mind busy and took him away from the stress of his life, and that was the Imponte Phoenix he had been trying to restore since he was 16 years old.

 

When Elwood was a teenager he would hang around one of the local garages and hand the mechanics their tools while asking questions about the cars they were working on. Months passed and this became a weekend ritual for Elwood and one summer a beat up Phoenix came through the bay doors to be scrapped and Elwood's eyes lit up. Since it was just going to the junkyard anyway the head mechanic agreed to sell it to Elwood for next to nothing, using the money he had saved from his summer job, just like that he got his first car, which was towed to his backyard where it hasn't moved since.

 

By the time he was 24 he decided he was fed up with working part time jobs and watching his bills pile up. He wanted a decent job with a decent rate of pay.

Now, Elwood was never a very bright guy, but auto mechanics is definitely something he had learned a lot about so he decided to get serious and put a resume into all of the local shops he knew of around Blaine County.  Finally after weeks of effort and no calls, Beekers Garage decided hired him on to start with cleaning the shop.

 

Over the years Elwood eventually became one of the more experienced mechanics and worked there up until recently when management changed hands and new staff was brought in. All of the original mechanics were laid off with a bleak hope of coming back. The bills couldn't be paid, his debt climbed and eventually his home and Imponte Phoenix were taken from him. Now job-less, car-less and homeless, he is unsure which direction to even walk in, all he knows is that he has to just get up and start walking.

 

The Present

Following Elwoods' home and job loss he was forced into living in a worn out Journey camper that was parked behind what used to be his home. Not knowing what else to do, Elwood decided to park it in an abandoned junk heap far down a dirt path just off of Joshua road near Sandy Shores.

After many interviews he managed to land a job doing various van deliveries around Los Santos and the surrounding area. Many late nights passed before he managed to save up a meager amount and with that he made the decision to purchase himself a tow truck. Having driven them many times at his previous job as a mechanic, he had the idea that he could start his own business.

With the purchase of his truck, Elwood started Murphy's Roadside Repair and Towing. Elwood felt like a new man and knew he had to get serious. He made up some flyers and posted them around the area and began taking calls. He was even beginning to feel at home in his camper at the junk heap.

 

Waking up each morning with a smile on his face and proud to be serving the Blaine County area, Elwood rides his tow truck off into the sunset each night with the dream of someday starting his own garage.
