__TOC__
== General Description ==
Dai Jones is an ex Captain of EMS, retired and has found work as a now Senior Mechanic at Harmony Repairs.
== Personality ==
Dai tries to be as friendly and approachable as possible, while he struggles with conversation he will try to talk to anyone. He mostly prefers medium sized groups where he can input his opinions here and there but never been the focus, he'll often walk away as well being overwhelmed at times. Dai will always try his best at a field of work, giving it his all and always striving for more knowledge and often gets caught up in mistakes rather than letting them blow over. While inexperienced, once he's comfortable with a person he'll crack jokes and be a little flirty. While he's generally happy he has off days in which he'll try to distance himself or not talk as much.
== Background Information ==
Dai grew up without knowing his Dad, he left before he was born and his mother had blamed him while growing up. He tried to stay out of the house as much as possible throughout the years, spending a vast majority of his time either at after school clubs or down at the local arcade. All of the arcade employees knew Dai, while he tended to keep to himself using whatever machine was isolated, he always had a smile on his face and greeted people. Dai would always do whatever he could to assist the owner and the owner would often return in kind often offering free meals, snacks and drinks.
When Dai turn 16 his home life grew worse, finally having enough he ran away and found himself sitting at the arcade as usual when he was approached by the owners daughter. They had often spent time together throughout the years, while she was a few years older she was always kind to Dai and would often come by to have a quick chat before leaving the arcade. She had asked her dad if Dai could use 1 of the back rooms to stay in when she learned he had left home, already working there part time the owner had agreed and gave him a full time job along with a place to stay rent free. Always enjoying medical shows during his free time at work and after he had finished work, Dai decided to do part time college courses for a few years while working at the arcade and eventually decided to use the money he had saved up from working to move to Los Santos.
== Relationships ==
Gillea Taylor
Gillea was first introduced to Dai when hanging out with his friend Luce Stitches and was told they were cousins. She was always a bit chaotic and derpy but a fun person to be around in his eyes and as they started to hang more and more, hunting, fishing, general chatter etc, Dai began getting feelings for Gillea and they would playfully flirt.
After a lot of meddling my Lei Sanya and other EMS, Dai had asked Gillea on a date but got extremely busy with work and wasn't able to follow up on the date. Eventually Gillea had moved on and had started dating Kian Mercer instead.
Dai hasn't spoke to Gillea for quite some time and is apprehensive about calling her a friend still.
Shiela Rodgers
Shiela started working for EMS and was a trainee when her and Dai started dating, Dai had only taken her on as a trainee once or twice and most of their interactions were all off duty. The start of their relationship was a pretty weird 1, Dai was making sure she wasn't in trouble while Shiela's friends were possibly being possessed by a Demon and assisted Shiela with tasks to keep an eye on her.
They bonded pretty quickly and after hanging out a few more times took the leap and started dating, both of them were clingy and were pretty much always seen together. It didn't take long for them to tell each other they loved on another and would often spend shifts and off duty time together just driving around and flirting.
Dai took a small break from work and was busy with other things and once he came back, Shiela had took Dai aside to break up with him, stating he was never around anymore and she needed more. During the breakup Shiela had stated there was nobody else and that she still loved him, Dai clung onto these words as he still loved her as well and didn't want to breakup however later found out that she had some feelings for Laurence Nightingale and had started dating Hunter Skye, hurting Dai that much more but have since pushed that aside to remain professional on the job to not make things awkward.
Shiela is now dead, RIP
Mina Rocket
Dai and Mina were first introduced to each other when Dai went for food at Burgershot, Mina was working and wanted to give food to Dr Alexander Blake at PBM but was too busy to leave the restaurant when she had asked Dai to deliver it for her as he was heading back that way anyway.
Dai noticed how giggly and happy Mina always seemed to be and would often be working when Dai went to Burgershot or would often see her at the hospital, either visiting as a patient or dropping by to see Dr Blake but nothing really happened between the 2 of them for quite some time.
Dai would often hang around the Hayes mechanic shop where Mina also worked, Dai had a few other friends that worked there and enjoyed the vibe at Hayes, always welcoming and always fun there and while he was there, would often hang out and talk to Mina inbetween her many other jobs.
After quite some time, Dai and Mina were acting as Paralegals for Alfred Neuman one day when Mina had confided in Dai that she was tired of all the men asking her out when she wasn't interested and how she wanted to be treated right and came to the realisation that she wanted to ask someone else out instead of waiting for the right person to come ask her out. Mina had mentioned that Dai would be a good fit and had asked him out at that time but Dai thought she was joking and didn't give her an answer at first and skirted the subject until they needed to leave for another representation. After that representation was done, Mina brought it up again and said Dai had not given her an answer and was seriously asking Dai out, at which time Dai was super embarassed and agreed to date Mina.
The 2 of them have been extremely giggly and happy since spending as much time as they can together between jobs and running around the city, often getting hurt and being concerned for each other. 
Dai and Mina currently live together at Mina's mansion in the Vinewood Hills.
