THE FLAME AND THE MATCHES - RIVAL STREET GANG AU IDEAS - NACHO X JESSE
Donât know what to put here. Nacho, inspired by picture above (his hair is a bit grown out. He keeps it shortish but a bit grown-out) is slowly rising through the ranks of one of Albuquerqueâs largest gangs, with their color being red (shocker, I know). Tuco, No-Doze, and Gonzo (eventually Domingo, etc) are also a part of the gang. There are other gangs, two others in particular. Blue (Gus) and Purple (Eladio or Lalo idk yet probably Lalo).
Jesse is a guy who moves to ABQ after being forced to leave home by his parents. Heâs from a very small town, so he has never encountered a gang or gang member before. His new place is in an apartment block in Nachoâs gangâs territory.
At first, the other man is just a general nuisance. But when Jesse complains to the wrong person or almost (unintentionally) gets Nacho in trouble or a friend of Nachoâs,(Domingo?) he is suddenly on his radar. And not entirely in a good way.
Nacho takes every opportunity to make Jesseâs life a living hell. He calls him Tinkerbell or Bo Peep or Rapunzel for his blonde hair. Him and his buddies harass him. Later, Jesse tries to find someone whoâll sell him drugs, other than them. He ends up having to approach Nacho.
Scene - Badger, Combo and Skinny Pete
Jesse approaches them to sell him some pot, but they wonât do it. Theyâre too scared of Nacho and them. âMan, I heard he eats peopleâ
Jesse tries to hand out candy in his block for Halloween, because itâs something he did back home and enjoyed since he was a kid. The doorbell rings and thinking itâs someone, he goes to the door. Itâs Nacho and his guys instead. They burst into his apartment from the hallway, thinking heâs dealing on their turf. When it becomes clear that itâs just candy, Nacho takes the bowl and they leave.
Nacho jumps down from the floor above Jesse as he runs away, landing right on the stairs before Jesse can escape. No-Doze not far behind. Jesse has his hands in front of his face, Â âWhere do you think youâre going, Tinkerbell?â Jesse tries to fight them off, it doesnât work out.
At one point, Jesse accidentally leaves his new shoes outside of his apartment. Nacho notices and takes them. When Jesse attempts to get them back (Nacho is seen by Jesse trying them on), he throws them onto an electric line as a signal to others for where his guys are dealing drugs.
Scene â Batting Cage â
Nacho seems to like practicing his baseball bat skills in a batting cage close to the complex. When Nachoâs finally alone, Jesse approaches him. Nacho ends up using the bat to hold Jesse under the chin, against a wall as they finish talking.
