Uriel Whitlock

Uriel Whitlock is a character role-played by Atrick25.
== Background Information ==
Uriel grew up on a dairy farm, the first of three children. Being the oldest, he was expected to help out constantly around the farm from a young age, which instilled him with a great work ethic. That constant work left him without much of a real childhood and resentment for his parents having taken that away from him as he grew older. His younger siblings, Nicoletta and Stephanie, would help out occasionally but Uriel began to realize that he was pulling the bulk of the work on the farm that was done by the children.
His time on the farm gave Uriel a knack for working with machines and electronics, having to fix issues as they arose without the resources to have someone else fix them. That knack turned into a dream to make his own farming equipment and he pursued technical school in order to further his abilities to pursue that dream.. The bonus of getting away from the slow, sleepy monotony of the farm was a cherry on top for Uriel, who was ready to experience the world beyond the farm.
Uriel worked diligently to get his degree, while maintaining a side job working at a greenhouse to help pay his way through school. With the degree, he decided to try and found his own company repairing farm equipment given his past experience. He found middling success and was able to make a living for a number of years fixing up equipment for local farmers, who were always grateful for the knowledge Uriel had related to farming. Despite his desire to leave his family’s farm when he had left for school, he now felt a familiar comfort being around tractors and farming machines on a day to day basis.
The feeling began to fade several years into the job as work began to dry up as family farms began to close, forced out by their larger corporate counterparts. The familiar comfort began to turn into dread as bills came due and eventually Uriel was forced to liquidate his business.
Too proud to try and return to his family for help, Uriel was out of money and out of assets to pay off his debts to his collectors. Pooling his last few dollars, he decided to try a new life in Los Santos, which had been rebuilding in the aftermath of the Sanguine War.
