Summary of Character

A captain in a sheriff's department holds a significant leadership role, overseeing specific divisions such as patrol, investigations, or community relations. They are responsible for managing personnel, ensuring effective deployment of resources, and implementing department policies. Captains also play a crucial role in fostering relationships within the community, addressing local concerns, and coordinating responses to incidents. In this capacity, they help bridge the gap between upper management and frontline officers, ensuring that law enforcement operations run smoothly and effectively.

Relationship to Character

Drive In employee

Summary of Character

This character's backstory is completely UTP! The only important fact is that they have been working at the Drive In for at least the last five years or so. Whether they first met Stefanos through this work or they have previous history or prior ties to Los Santos can be plotted.

Desired Plot

Stefanos bought the Drive In as a way for Los Santos to launder money and has kept a relatively close eye on business there. This character would be someone he has grown to trust over that time ( or could even be someone he knew prior! ) and that he is tempted to bring into the fold now that the Dimopoulos Syndicate are looking to capitalise on using the business for their own gain. I imagine their relationship to be one of mutual respect and even though Stefanos is a man of few words he's likely made it known in his own way that he's grateful for their steady presence over the years.

Character Name

UTP Best

Character Age

The eldest would be ~ 38, the second ~37 and the youngest 32-34

Character FC

Jessica Lucas, Alfie Enoch, Jessica Plummer, Rege Jean Page, Maisie Richardson Sellers, Elliot Knight, Kylie Bunbury, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman, Ashley Madekwe, Kendrick Sampson, Vanessa Morgan, Jacob Anderson, Aisha Dee, Lucien Laviscount, Alexandra Shipp or utp.

Gang Affiliation

Their father was president of the Hellraisers for over a decade until very recently so likely they share the same loyalty (although something different could potentially be plotted out!)

Relationship to Character

Siblings

Summary of Character

Leon and Grace Best were young when they had their first child, their second following closely behind. Ava came a couple of years later and the youngest a couple of years after her. Their household was a supportive one but a pretty busy one I imagine, with all the siblings able to pursue their own hobbies and desires. They’d have grown up around the Hellraisers and likely had a close relationship with others who had ties to the club. They lost their mother around two years ago to cancer, with Ava coming back from New York to spend time with Grace in the six months between her diagnosis and her passing. After this Ava moved to San Francisco and returned home more regularly. They have all recently found out that the reason that Leon stepped down from being president is because of a degenerative illness. The siblings lives up until now are completely UTP! Ava went off to college and studying law, living in New York from then onwards so there’s every chance that her siblings also left town to pursue their dreams. I do think it’d be nice if one ( or more! ) of them had chosen to either stay in Tonopah or come back to run the motel. At least one of the elder siblings is a brother who would ideally be a member of the Hellraisers but this can be discussed!

Desired Plot

No specific plot in mind - just a good family dynamic! They are likely all still coping with the grief over losing their mother as well as coming to terms with Leon’s illness. There’s also potential for some tension over how little Ava stayed in contact during her years in New York but it’s not necessary and all dynamics can be plotted out!

Summary of Character

An undersheriff serves as the second-in-command in a sheriff's department, assisting the sheriff in managing operations and overseeing law enforcement activities. They may step in to lead the department in the sheriff's absence. All this to say the undersheriff wields a lot of power in the day-to-day law enforcement in Tonopah Valley and the county as a whole.

UTP! Since the options are limited on Guatemalan fcs with resources, some suggestions are Alexxis Lemire, Christian Serratos, Ariana DeBose, Lindsey Morgan, Victoria Justice, Mishel Prada, Isabella Ferreira, or Madison Reyes

Relationship to Character

Mikayla's half-sister on her father's side

Summary of Character

This character is the daughter of the wanted connection for Mikayla's father, so some details would need to be worked out with the writer here as well. Otherwise, the character's personality and everything is up to you!

Desired Plot

Mikayla has no idea this sister exists tbh so my thought is either their dad tells the sister about Mikayla or she finds out on her own somehow, and she goes to track her down. At first, Mikayla won't be very receptive to it because she's hesitant and has trust issues in general, but over time, I'd like it if the two could form a close bond because I love sibling plots.

UTP. Oscar Isaac is my preference! Since there aren't many Guatemalan options to choose from resource-wise, though, I'd be open to Dave Annable, Freddy Rodríguez, Ramón Rodríguez, Jon Huertas, Esai Morales, and Kirk Acevedo

Relationship to Character

Mikayla's father and father to her half-sister

Summary of Character

I picture him being a Tonopah Valley native, but it's not mandatory as long as he was living in the area for late middle/early high school years. What happened before and after is up to you. I envision him being successful in some way, like a business owner, and having been married/another serious relationship by this point in his life because he has a daughter from that relationship. Whether he's currently married or got married and is now divorced/a widower is up to you, but I think it could add some dimension if you're up for it!

Desired Plot

Mikayla never knew her father. Her mother, Penelope, had a relationship with him in high school that they kept a secret from her parents because they wouldn't have approved for some reason (we can work out why together). She found out she was pregnant at 15 and her parents were super religious, so they got so upset that they moved her across the country from the "bad influence" that he was (in their eyes, anyway) and he would've lost contact with Penny as a result. They were about the same age, but it doesn’t have to be exact by any means. He could have known about her pregnancy and tried to connect with her over the years with no success OR he never knew until recently for one reason or another. Perhaps he finally tracked them down because his daughter (Mikki's half sister) found out and went sleuthing. I'm open to options here, but I think it's got potential to be super juicy and fun.
