Nolan Baker is a character played by SwickMachine.
==Physical Description==
Nolan stands at 6'-0" tall with blonde hair and blue eyes. He has multiple tattoos that have special meanings to him. The tattoos on his arms are from the times he worked in the speed shop, all being car related in some way. He has two tattoos on his back. One being a man depicted as a skeleton holding a gun with a woman hanging on his shoulder. This tattoo represents the gunrunning M.C. lifestyle he previously used to live. The other is a car that is airborne. This represents the car crash he was a part of where he was pit maneuvered off of a mountain by police, resulting in him having to have back surgery. The last tattoo with meaning is on his left calf. This tattoo is a skull with a sword through the top of the skull. This is the same image found on the back of his old cut from the M.C. 
==Background Information==
Nolan Baker was born in the small southern town of New Bordeaux, Louisiana. After graduating from high school, Nolan moved away and began working at speed shop just outside of town doing basic mechanic work and maintenance. Being a gearhead since as long as he can remember, Nolan excelled at this position and it did not go unnoticed. He worked at the shop for many years working his way up the ranks. One day, the owner of the shop decided he wanted out of the car business. Now a manager, Nolan has a decision to make. Does he let some other person buy the shop he built or does he buy the shop himself? He sleeps on it. The next morning, his decision was made. He talked to the owner and two weeks later, he was handed the keys to his new shop. 
Nolan spent many, many hours in the shop, day in and day out honing in his craft. With the knowledge he gained, he decides to take his skills to the streets. Being a Bravado guy, naturally he found his way into a Bravado Hellfire. After wrenching on the car in secrecy for 4 months straight, he finally felt it was finally time to bring it out. Nolan had been in the local underground racing scene for years at this point but nobody had seen something like this from him before. The car performed phenomenally, beating everyone he raced that night with ease. The rumors of the car makes waves and Nolan find himself getting deeper and deeper into the scene, racing the fastest cars around the south. 
In an odd twist of fate, one day he was riding his freshly restored Harley Davidson motorcycle through the city and decided to stop for gas. While filling up the tank, another Harley Davidson pulls into the gas station to the pump beside him. Riding it was a man by the name of Frank Dredge, a member of The Unforgiven Motorcycle Club. Frank approached Nolan, admiring the work done to the bike. After chatting for a few minutes, they exchanged numbers and went their separate ways. Frank called Nolan a few days later about some issues he was having with his bike and asked if Nolan could figure out what it was. Frank rides to Nolans shop and after a few beers, a lot of laughter and some busted knuckles, the bike was fixed. Frank and Nolan stayed in touch over the following year and became close friends. 
After getting to know each other, Frank approached Nolan about joining The Unforgiven. After some careful consideration, he accepted the offer and became a prospect for the club. After many adventures and many sleepless nights, he found himself climbing the ranks all the way from a patched member to the Vice President. With this new found sense of power, Nolan led The Unforgiven to be one of the most powerful M.C.'s in the state. Once again, his hard work did not go unnoticed. This time, probably not the attention he desired. A stash house full of military style weaponry was raided by S.W.A.T. and the whole club went down for it. After many sleepless nights in prison and many more close encounters with the law after release, Nolan felt his time with the club was over. Things just were not the same for him. Unfortunately for him, you just can't leave that lifestyle behind. Masked up, blacked out with a duffle bag full of cash and an AK strapped to his back, he skipped town and was not heard from again. 
Until now.
Years later, he finds himself settled in the city of Los Santos. With a calmer demeanor and much wiser, he decides to leave the M.C. lifestyle behind and get back to his roots. Street Racing. With his eyes set on owning a small mechanic shop and running low on cash, he will have pull together his remaining resources to rebuild from scratch. But let's be honest with each other here. Old habits don't die that easily...
