Arlo Moonbeam

Arlo wandered into Los Santos following a jam band, and after the tour left he found himself broke with only a handful of cash wandering the streets of Los Santos.  Looking for a handful of joints to relieve some stress and figure out his next move Arlo followed a Twatter advertisement for a Los Santos dispensary “Smoke on the Water” that had just opened the doors of its brand new storefront establishment in Little Seoul.  There he met two influential figures Droid and Mathias Dawson, and quickly established enough rapport to land himself a job as a trainee at the store.  Droid taught Arlo a lot about how to run a successful storefront, and Mathias mentored Arlo in the criminal domain of the Los Santos underworld and illegal cannabis growing operations.
At Smoke on the Water Arlo worked hard, incredibly grateful for the opportunity he had received and the friends he was making.  Arlo befriended other employees of Smoke on the Water, with Dylan Edwards, Pierce Iron, Lily Night-Sky, Private Brandon Johnson and Reuben Rivers becoming some of his closest friends and confidants.  Eventually Arlo’s dedication to the store and his friends led to the Smoke on the Water employees becoming a very close knit family, leading to their adoption by Georgina “WindSong” Williams and Happy D’Klown.  Arlo rose in his position at Smoke on the Water from trainee to employee, employee to manager, and manager to co-owner.  Throughout his time in Los Santos Arlo has remained a steadfast steward of Smoke on the Water and his family.
Along the way Arlo added others to his closest circles.
Bernard Beggans and Gregory Gribble helped Arlo time and again, and were a common source of fun, chaos, and assistance to Arlo in his endeavors time and time again.
Natalie, Billy, Mateo, Preacher, Leo, Headphones, Kenny,  Mona “Momo”, Alex Aria and even Arlo’s nemesis “Big” Philip McGroin were all key friends and family from Smoke on the Water.
Arlo also worked for other businesses in town, mostly ones associated with either of his adopted parents like the Sandy Shores Recycling Center.
Arlo is slow to anger, quick to attempt to deflect tension, and wears his feelings on his sleeve.  He likes to stir the pot from time to time and will push people’s buttons if he knows how to do it. He is passionate about cannabis. He is an appreciator of the arts. He is a strong advocate for his family, and will do whatever he thinks he needs to in order to protect them. Arlo never claims to be the smartest person in the room, but he can usually count on not being the dumbest either.  When Arlo does eventually get worked up he can make rash decisions and will often act without thinking.  Sometimes his instincts protect him and his loved ones, other times they create more problems.
