Baby Ribs

"When you disrespect the man who owns the house, you’re bound to get yo ass kicked out. How gently or rough is up to the owner so don’t open yo mouth wider than you can chew."— Baby Ribs humbling down an outsiderBaby Ribs, real name Jacob Santos, is a high-ranking member of the Numbskullz gang, a gang known for it’s motorcycle clubs, skeleton themed apparel and aggressive expansion through The Grey Zone. Handy with a cleaver, Baby Ribs owns and handles a shady butchery in the turf his gang occupies named The Chopping Board, using it as a place for the rest of the gang to hang out and plan strikes against other gangs they have targeted for takeover.
== Appearance ==
Baby Ribs is an imposing, dark-skinned heavy set man standing at 6’8” feet (203 centimeters) and weighing 120 kilograms (264 pounds). His eyes are a pitch black and he is bald, lacking any semblance of hair on his head.
He is often seen wearing dark jeans, black boots and driving gloves and oftentimes a black shirt he tends to tie around his waist. His body is painted with a white tattoo that resembles a skull and a set of ribs that spans from across his large torso and his face with a half-mask resembling a skeleton’s lower jaw.
While on the job as a butcher, he wears a messily stained black apron over his black shirt, now properly worn on his person and a pair of black food handling gloves.
== Personality ==
Despite his menacing gaze and height, Baby Ribs can be surprisingly calm and serious for a member of the Numbskullz. He only truly becomes a savage when it comes to gang warfare, otherwise simply speaking his mind but not taking any disrespect from lower-ranking members of the gang or outsiders. He is willing to forgive minor offenses with due time, and may even give a warning where other members of his gang would have began throwing hands, but he is not afraid to spill blood or threaten those who step out of line.
== Backstory ==
Jacob Santos was the name of an inmate at what would later become the HQ of The Lost Cause. Working in the kitchen, Santos would shoot gazes as the prisoners he served didn’t like the food he prepared. Shame. He was such a fan of his own cuisine he would eat seconds, which would be one of the factors causing him to develop into the hulking beast he is today.
Once the prison shut down, Jacob would be one of the first to ditch the place to look for new things in The Grey Zone, eventually landing himself as a butcher. His scary gaze was still a thing to look out for, but he lived for a while mainly unprovoked until gangs began to pour into his stablishment.
Many would try to extort him, asking for “protection money” and all that kind of bull gangsters would use to squeeze his pockets dry if not attempting to scare him off his money. He did not falter and more than once made someone piss their pants using nothing but scary words and a sharp cleaver. This normally would lead to him becoming a target for attacks, but this was quickly solved upon a new gang taking the area he worked in- the Numskullz had settled in after killing off the grand majority of the former gang residing in the block.
Despite their initial goal of overcoming everyone in the area with fear of retaliation, the leader of the gang at the time, Crossbones, would notice Jacob’s physique and intimidating demeanor. He offered the man a position in his gang and Jacob, now tired of being antagonized, gave in and joined the Numskullz, becoming one of the larger members.
At first he did not take kindly to the idea of the gangsters taking his butchery as a place to plan their crimes, but over time he grew fond of the new clientele as they treated him with respect and enjoyed his wares. He had a group now, and soon after he would paint himself and don the characteristic jaw mask upon his face to signify his new allegiance, now turned into the fearsome Baby Ribs.

* Billy Bones: Fellow gang member, Billy frequents Baby Ribs’ butchery to buy his meats, though outside of this Baby Ribs acts as the straight man when Billy runs his mouth as usual. Often frustrated by Bones’ casual stupidity and boastful behaviour, he would rather consider him an acquaintance, but will no doubt come to his aid if he is in danger.
