Salvatore Valcastro is a character role-played by CarbynePhoenix.
==General Information==
After Sal moved to San Andreas, he saw it as an opportunity while finding his footing in this new country to treat the first two or so weeks as a little vacation after years not once taking time for himself. It wasn't before long he was craving to start building his new life and began job hunting. He wanted to work in a role where he would be able to meet new people daily and help those passing by, so called up the owner of the gas station in Mirror Park and applied for a position which he immediately landed.
With great enthusiasm Sal dedicated himself to this new job while having the chance to meet new people and socialize with coworkers. It wasn’t long before Sal and Kenny shared a shift together up in Grapeseed and instantly hit it off, while Sal took Kenny under his wing at first as a lil bro as they both explored their new world together that was San Andreas. For a while the two were inseparable best friends and Sal, based on his approach to life, taught Kenny the now popular phrase “Standing on Business” which also became “Sal and Kenny, Kenny and Sal, Standing on Business”. They together during conversations of opening up to one another expressed their views of not believing a clear cut line between right and wrong and quickly fell into a renewed life of criminal activities, while petty crimes at first, very quickly grew due to their focus on building their lives using these activities as their new foundation.
One day Sal and Kenny headed up to Paleto while breaking into cars and got caught by Winston Walker. Sal had met Winston twice before and also witnessed, by chance being a part of one of the meetings by coincidence, the formation of what now is known as Osiris MC, however also not yet knowing what they were or stood for. At the time they also did not know he was keeping an eye on the community and streets of Paleto. Winston warned them that those kind of activities were not welcome there, but instead of pressing them sought to find out why they were doing this. Sal expressed his plans of getting a 3D printer and van for himself and Kenny to help further their goals and plans. Winston impressed to hear they were working towards something instead of just making a quick buck asked them how they felt about denim and muscle cars, as well as asking Sal how far he was away from raising the amount needed. Upon hearing he was just $1000 short, he took them to a nearby ATM and gave it to Sal and gave them both a talk about how they’ll be working with him from now on, and if all goes right they might even find themselves in denim one day.
Thus started Sal’s new life journey of becoming a part of Osiris, a path he without a second of question started fully dedicating himself to. Through this, and being introduced to the other high command members, he also landed a job at Gemini Towing through Gemma Knight. He continued to focus on learning the ways of what Osiris MC stood for, what they were and what they aimed for. As weeks passed Sal started excelling and was invited to become a prospect with a few of his other MC hangarounds at the time. 
As Sal started realizing the importance of the prospect level he started networking more and sought out to find what his strongest skills and talents were and naturally started falling into the training path to potentially one day become their Quartermaster. While he always took initiative and came to HC with new ideas and systems to put in place to build a strong resource foundation and cache for Osiris while maintaining the groups daily supplies, his dedication was soon realized and invited to be a full patched member at church on 10th September which was held at Bolingbroke. 
Going forward he continually sought guidance and mentoring in furthering his skills, talents and goals from Winston, Gemma, and Fey, as well as advice from Thomas and Jason due to their experience and history.
Sal continued in pushing himself to excel in his commitments, duties and responsibilities including building relationships with other MC’s such as Reapers and The Lost, who he now considers good friends and trusted associates, to secure procurement channels for additional essential items the club needed and relied on. Due to his efforts and work, on Tuesday the 8th of October, Sal was promoted to command role of Quartermaster at church. He now aims to fulfill his role to the utmost best of his ability, always ensuring a rich resource supply for the club and anticipating its every need.
We now continue in this new chapter to follow his journey in anticipation of what unfolds next for Sal…
==Background Information==
Sal was born and raised on a small Italian Island between Italy and Los Santos called Solaria, growing up in a semi-well known organized crime family in their corner of the world. Sal and his parents' participation and involvement with the family’s illegal businesses was purely due to demanding expectations that had always been enforced from the family elders over the past 4 generations. 
Sal, his mother and father being bubbly, loving, passionate and caring people, breaking the preconception of hardened and cold crime family members, they always felt very out of place. As such were vastly different from the rest of the family, not even for a second sharing the harsh manipulative greedy mindset that so many of the larger family possessed. They instead longed for and sought a different way of life away from the family operations, a more fulfilling and stress-free lifestyle filled with their passions for life, community, purpose and culture. However life on Solaria, while being a part of the crime family, meant it was a situation of you either fell in line and maintained the family’s illegal operations or risked being ostracized which was too high of a risk on such a small island.
One spring evening Sal’s parents asked him to meet him down at the island’s docks, this being an unusual request filled Sal with a wary curiosity and instantly knew something was afoot as his parents were never secretive with him unless something big was brewing. Upon arriving they told him how they had recently been informed by a long time trusted family friend that 2 law enforcement agencies were teaming up to break up the crime family syndicate with plans to prosecute anyone they could remotely link to the illegal activities they were currently investigating. 
Through what was an emotional discussion, his parents let him know they had organized with a worker on the import ship that brought goods from Los Santos once a year, to smuggle Sal off the island over to Los Santos to give him a chance of a better life with the hopes of one day being able to join him there. Sal was reluctant at first as his parents have always been his rock, but saw the opportunity to finally grab the life he dreamed of for himself and them with open arms knowing this will pay off for them as a family. They had done what they could for him and now he knew it was up to him to pave the road for a new chapter for their lives.
