Michael Simone/3.0

Michael Simone is a character role-played by Tobii.
==General Information==
Michael "Mick" Simone is a known terrorist and was one of the most wanted criminals in Los Santos. Michael is in contact with many groups and is officially a member of the HOA and a former council member of Seaside.
===Appearance===
Michael usually sports short, slick-back bleached white hair and a clean shaven face, his head being occupied by black petrine earrings. He also has a collection of tattoos covering his body, a petrine on his forehead and other tattoos along his arms and back. However, while on the run from the Unified Police he was known to change his appearance constantly; from shaving his head to dyeing his hair dirty blonde, he tried everything to hide from the PD. These variations of looks are often accompanied with glasses or a hat to cover his facial traits. 
===Personality===
At first, Michael appears as a reserved, calm, and collected man. When it comes to his personality, Michael is a known terrorist and isn't shy of using lethal force to push the narratives he believes in. He had been regarded as "unhinged" and often leaves a trail when committing any illegal action, wanting others to know what he has done. He often supplies bombs, guns and heavy artillery to those who "punish" wrongdoers - his motto being to correct the corruption in the city.
If there are personal differences, Michael is very rarely confrontational, often being more quiet about his own opinions. Through their upbringing both Simone brothers have a difficulty dealing with and/or understanding emotions, especially 'irrational' ones. Michael's answer often is to distance himself from those feelings (or the people having those emotions). Even though Michael has a lot of connections in the city, he often prefers to spend time alone.
In relation to business ties, the Simone family in itself holds extreme riches, Michael's father being exceptionally wealthy- Despite this, Michael prided himself on not using any of his families money. In order to gain his own income, he would sell artillery and maintain roles in important companies such as RON Corp. 
===Background===
Michael is the younger brother of Nicholas Simone, the two often getting into petty squabbles and arguments. However, due to their mother's death at a young age and the negligence of their rich father; the brothers are known to look out for each other, and exhibit similar behaviours as a result- especially in regards to violence and destruction. Nonetheless, the Simone's are the only family either of them have and would never betray one another. 
During mid 2019, Michael took the decision to leave his brother at their home town in Denmark and move to Los Santos for a fresh start. However, Nicholas eventually came to LS to check up on his younger brother, Michael and ended up staying in the city alongside his brother- the two sharing a home in Rockford Hills.
==Events==
Tales Of Terrorism
January 5th 2022 - Tales Of Terrorism
During the months of January and February 2022, Michael began to plant bombs around the city. The majority of victims being members of the Unified Police Department/3.0. 
The first attack of this kind occurred on January 5th. On this day, Michael alongside Miguel Almerion, Jay Jarvis and Olga Sazkaljovich pulled up to the front of the courthouse while fully blacked out. The crew took to holding up any individuals that were standing outside and ushering them into the court house, an on duty cop being apart of this crowd. Once all the civilians were inside of the court house, they were demanded by Olga to all stand in one corner while Michael planted the bomb in the centre. While in this process, the PD became aware that there was something criminalistic happening at the courthouse and began to set up outside. As the crew planted the bomb and ran out of the courthouse doors, cops began to chase after them- confused on what had occurred inside.
Once fleeing from the main vehicle that was being chased- Miguel took to calling Oliver Fury, warning him that cops should "stop doing what they're doing and focus on the courthouse" making him aware that the bomb planted would detonate if the cops did not stop chasing the fleeing vehicle that still had Michael inside of it. This demand would be respected, cops breaking off the chase and focusing on disarming the bomb threat- allowing Michael to escape, unidentified.
Despite the PD discovering the bomb quickly and developing a team of SWAT members, PillBot failed to defuse the bomb causing him and Tyme Reducer to get injured in the blast. This theme of planting car bombs and terrorising the general public quickly earned Michael the title of a "terrorist". This title was later solidified when Michael earned an extended warrant for Terrorism, handled by Jenny Hall.

Gun-Trafficking
January 14th 2022 - Gun-Trafficking
As the days passed, Michael began to get more reckless, carrying out bomb planting solo. This recklessness allowed the PD to gather knowledge on his possible identity- after leaving his personal car at the scene of a bomb incident outside of the court house, the PD were able to carry out a raid on his home on January 14th.
During this raid, cops such as: Brian Knight, Serge Cross, Kyle Pred and Richard Dark swept through his house, making sure to leave no corner unturned. Michael's stashes were discovered in this process including boxes full of: Pipebombs, AK 47, OTs-14 Groza, M70, C4's and Sniper Ammo. In one of these boxes was a note, which was read by Brian, it referred to a shipping container that was owned by Michael. Due to the results of the raid and the amount of artillery found, the PD pushed to find the container as it was believed to be illegal in nature.
This container was eventually found by the PD in the shipping docks, Brian taking to Det-Cording the door of it and breaching the inside. Once inside, he discovered that it was infact a gun-crafting bench- the boxes inside the container holding hundreds of weapons.
At this point, a warrant was put out for Michael for Gun Trafficking.

Facing Treason
January 17th 2022 - Facing Treason
When The Lost faced the Los Santos Senate on January 17th, Michael helped to supply them with a range of guns and high range military weapons. Unfortunately, the PD knew of his involvement and even with The Lost overcoming the senate and winning the battle, another warrant was put up for Michael, this time being Treason.
Troubles With Cleo
January 25th 2022 - The Simone's VS Cleo Shaw
In the late hours of January 25th, Michael's brother, Nicholas Simone was stabbed by Cleo Shaw while at Chumash pier. This occurred after Cleo suspected Nicho of shooting her boyfriend, Bryce Miller. Due to this stabbing, the Simone brothers decided revenge was in-place and wanted to destroy her in every way possible.
On January 26th, Nick and Mick decided to kidnap Cleo. This involved bringing her to their home in Rockford Valley and taking her down to a hidden torture cellar, showing her the consequences of messing with the Simone brothers. While in this cellar, Nick planted a tracking device into her arm after putting a bag over her head- so she wouldn't know what was occurring.
On February 13th, Nick decided to call Cleo due to his awareness of her being locked away in Parsons Rehabilitation Center. This call consisted of Nicholas flexing the fact that he has bought a new yacht and asking Cleo if she wanted to borrow it- hoping to push her to confess of her location. Towards the end of the call, Nicholas told Cleo to google "The White Death", who, unbeknownst to Cleo was an infamous Sniper by the name of Simo Häyhä. Just hours after this call occurred, Nicholas travelled to the peak of the hills surrounding Parsons and aimed his sniper rifle directly at Cleo's head. He then sent this image to Cleo via a burner phone - hoping to make her panic.
However on February 14th, Cleo decided to "set up" Michael as revenge for his brother tormenting her. This involved luring Michael with the help of Joe Goldberg and entrapping him in a cage. However, Cleo quickly backed out of it. Despite the decision to back out, Michael was infuriated with her actions and seeked revenge. Michael eventually texting Jenny Hall that he was going to go against his promise of "leaving Cleo alone" because she came for him. After an hour long call between Jenny and Michael, Cleo was to be left alone once and for all.

The One Year Warrant
February 2nd 2022 - The One Year Warrant
It was not until February 2nd that Michael's warrants were broadcasted on the news and turned into a state-wide search. This warrant was not set to expire for an entire year, if caught Michael was to be charged with Terrorism, Treason and Gun-Trafficking. During this time, Michael became paranoid and despite his reckless nature became more conscious of his actions.

A Close Call
February 13th 2022 - A Close Call
A close call occurred on February 13th, when Michael was cruising around Los Santos with his girlfriend- Flossie. Due to Mick being in his own car, police pulled their forces in full. Resulting in: interceptors, CVPI's, chargers and helicopters being hot on his trail. As a last resort, Mick pulled into the Lost Compound and fled out of the hidden tunnel in the base.
The Tuner Shop Incident
April 2nd 2022 - The Tuner Shop Incident
On April 2nd 2022, Michael was filling up NOS at the tuner shop when he was spotted by an off-duty Matthew Espinoz. Ezpinoz resorted to 311'ing Michael's location and as a result PD members swarmed the location. Michael attempted to run but with little backup, was caught and detained. 
While Michael was being processed in the jail cells of Bob Smith Police Department, news of his capture spread quickly causing a collection of Michael's associates and friends of associates to come together to break him out of custody. Those among this group were: Miguel Almerion, Wayne Biggz, Jay Jarvis, Fernando Reyes, Rudi Rinsen, Adam Peterson, Dean Watson, Eddie Marshall, Finlay Aiken, Mikey Mersion and Raymond Romanov. It was decided by the PD that Michael would be transported to prison in a prison bus, being heavily guarded by both DOC and PD members alike. Jenny Hall sitting beside Michael in the bus.
During the transport, the group took to splitting up and scouting key areas of the route from BSPD to Bolingbroke Penitentiary itself. It was not until the bus had reached Route 68 that it was spotted by Finlay and called out on the radio to the rest of the group. This sighting allowed the group to navigate the route the bus would take and the best time to hit it; Miguel fortifying that they would attack the bus when it neared the Zancudo exit. As this occurred, grenades and RPG rockets were thrown at the convoy- forcing the transport to stop at the Mill.
While at the Mill, the group surrounded the area, picking off cops little by little. While driving around in his car alone, JJ was gunned down by an un-seen cop. As cops surrounded the Mill, Mario and Wayne found themselves pinned- Mario being gunned down by 4 separate cops at once. Fortunately, Wayne was able to hide behind a house, enabling him to flank and shoot down 8 cops while solo. Once the cops were downed, Wayne went back for Mario and quickly secured him inside his car. As this was happening, Ray was shot down by a UC cop as he attempted to swap to a better car due to his car being shot and damaged. At the top of the hill, AP attempts to flank two cops but is terminated and detained almost instantly.
As chaos ensues and the PD focus on the attack, Wayne sneaks to the Prison bus undetected. Despite Jenny still sitting next to Michael on the bus, she does not attempt to stop him from being taken by Wayne. This means that Wayne successfully helps Michael out of the bus and drives away with him safely in his car, a downed Mario with them. Swiftly, the gunfire comes to an end with the last attacking cop being downed- before more cops arrive, Miguel saves JJ and all parties return to safety. With the loss of AP and Ray, the group decided to cut their losses and were satisfied with the extraction of Michael from the PD's grasp. 
Michael was once again on the run.

A Fake Death
September 27th 2022 - No Pulse
A few months prior to any events, Reed Dankleaf had leaked information to the cops pertaining to Michael and his gun deals, almost resulting in Mick being captured by the PD for his various warrants. This action angered Michael as he felt Reed needed to face consequences for what he had done, and so he began to hunt down Reed.
In the evening of September 27th, Reed was watching over Flossie, Michael’s girlfriend and happened to see Michael meetup with her. Due to Reed’s knowledge of Michael attempting to hunt him down, he had decided to do the same to him. With this, Reed kidnapped Michael and took him across Los Santos. 
At some point during this ride, Michael passed out and his pulse began to fade. Reed decided to bring Michael’s unconscious body to the underground mining tunnels and perform CPR. Unfortunately, Michael’s pulse did not improve - His lifeless body was left in the tunnels by Reed.
On October 1st Reed blew up the house with Michael's body in it as part of an attempt to destroy evidence at the scene. Michael's body was recovered and positively ID'd by his brother Nick.

October 17th 2022 - A Fake Death
On October 17th, Michael revealed to Nancy Drew that he faked his death. He did this by paying off the doctor that examined his "deceased body" and keeping the ploy from all of his friends, even his brother.

A Snake Snitches
Six months after the fake death, police were informed that Michael was still alive when his thought-to-be-friend Miguel Almerion, along with girlfriend Lilith Fulker, snitched to PD and exposed him on social media. Miguel, citing that Michael refused him favours and didn’t appreciate his efforts, also handed over key evidence snatched from one of Michael’s safe houses to LSPD’s Jackie Snow.
Tired of an unending game of cat and mouse with law enforcement, Michael initially opted to ignore Miguel and reached out to PD himself to commence negotiations for a plea deal.
During his wait, Michael carefully navigated shifting loyalties while simultaneously trying to keep himself alive. He arranged for some of his illegal goods to be moved, including a sniper rifle, but the shipment was intercepted by members of Miguel’s gang.
Being hunted by the Chang Gang umbrella, Michael agreed to meet with Miguel but took precautions. In one confrontation, Hydra descended on Michael’s supposed location only to find a body double. As Miguel shot the fake with Michael’s own sniper riffle, Michael emerged from foliage to shoot Miguel himself, reclaiming his stolen weapon.
Out driving one evening, Michael was apprehended by Hydra. Holding him hostage for hours in a Hydra warehouse, Miguel (assisted by Alan Kyles, Ash Ketchup and Lilith) ultimately chose to hand Michael over to police. He was held in Bolingbroke Penitentiary to await trial when the Los Santos Senate intervened to pass judgement.
After 30 years in prison, Michael was granted a plea deal - guilty to all charges in exchange for his freedom and 60 years of strict parole.
Edgar & Leaving Seaside
December 2023 - Edgar and Leaving Seaside
Edgar approached Nick about buying bombs or becoming a bomb connect for him, which raised red flags in Nick's mind since he had never spoken to Edgar before. Nick spoke to Michael about it and both of the brothers were not happy. It turned out that Benji was guiding Edgar and backing him.
In the following weeks, Edgar started to make more and more people angry and became more and more paranoid. It escalated more and more between Edgar and criminals in Los Santos, leading to the death of Rosabel, Cesar and more. 
In the end, the Simones decided to get rid of the headache. Michael with the support of BBMC dropped him off over Sanguine.
Benji felt betrayed by Michael, it came to a big argument between the two and Michael decided to hang off his chain. Nick followed suit.
Nick left the city, following Veronica to Africa. Michael burned down the Hades lair, his own house, Nexus and bombed the Seaside Towers and then disappeared.

==Relationships==
===Family===
Nicholas Simone
The older brother of Michael. Nicholas and Michael, who have adopted the names of Nick and Mick, grew up together in their childhood home in Denmark. As they reached their adolescence, their mother passed away meaning that they were left to their own devices, with the common absence of their rich father- the two relied on each other heavily. Eventually, Nick took the decision to enlist in the military, leaving Mick behind for the first time since their birth. While alone in Denmark, Mick took the decision in 2019 to move to Los Santos for a fresh start to life which was shortly followed by Nick venturing to LS to check up on him. After seeing that his younger brother was doing well and Nick making some friends for himself, both the brothers decided to stay in Los Santos. 
Due to their intricate history and brother bond, Nick and Mick would protect each other no matter what. Even going as far as to commit murder to protect the other, the two are completely loyal to one another. This was proven when Raymond Romanov threatened to kill Mick, Nick instantly setting out a plan to kill Ray before he could harm his brother. Even though the brothers commonly have petty squabbles and minor arguments, this is their way of showing they care for one another.
