Dennis Mason/3.0

Dennis Mason is a character role-played by Gtamen.
==Overview==
Dennis Mason is a former Full Member of Beach Crew and a former Hangaround of The Lost MC. Dennis is a loyal, charismatic and helpful individual to those who deserve it, often believing in treating everyone equal as long as they show respect in return. No matter what side of the law they're on.
As of May 2023, Dennis has been seen extremely rarely in the city, some believe he has flown back home to the Netherlands, but he has been living in his apartment since May. He has no future intentions as of now to leave his apartment. 
== Background ==
Once a part of a criminal organization that specialized in sticking to the shadows, dealing in secrecy and careful planning. Dennis is no stranger to always making plans to stay one step ahead of the opposition. Often proven by his (and his former organization's) track record of getting high value goods through near impossible odds and snagging valuable markets away from rival gangs. 
But like many things... even the good times comes to an end. After the leader of the organization dismantled the group, Dennis was left by himself. Looking for a new opportunity to continue on the legacy of this group, he moved to Los Santos to do just that. 
==Events==
Humble Beginnings
When Dennis first arrived in the city he was lost like many others are too, but through his work in sanitation he met Shaun Smalls who liked the voice of Dennis and brought him in to contact with some actors at Jiggity Studios where he ended up featuring in the movie Tsunami Outta Time (as Mr. A) a few months later. At Jiggity Studios he met Storm Peyton, who at the time was the executive producer at the company. One day, when Dennis was feeling a little lost he decided to give Storm a call to see if there would be any crews that had a place for him. This crew ended up being Beach Crew.
Ups and Downs
Beach Crew became the new home for Dennis, welcomed with open arms by Rue and the members at the time. Dennis quickly rose through the ranks and became close with everyone in the Crew. Especially Rue, Andy and Kelly. Rue often leaned towards Dennis for guidance in the crew and Dennis tried to see if he could be of as much aide as he could, with the hopes of maybe building up an inspiration to his former organization. A dream that was still very much alive at the time.
As time went on, Beach Crew went through many ups and down. But no matter what, Dennis stayed loyal. Until one faithful day where Dennis noticed the leader of the crew, Rue, was not around as much and noticed her hanging around BBMC a lot more. Suspicious of this, Dennis went back to his old roots and started to gather as much intel as he could to confront Rue about this. When he eventually did, he was told what he already knew. Rue was a BBMC hangaround, but was newly informed that it was for the benefit of the crew. Being as loyal as Dennis is, he decided to believe Rue's word and give her the time she was asking for. 
Some more time passed and Rue was seen less and less around Beach Crew, phone calls often went not answered and when they were, Rue was busy. This left Dennis to effectively run the crew at the time and making him feel like it was his job to try to steer it in the right direction. And so he did. For weeks he tried recruiting new people. No matter how fresh they were. He'd recruit them and get them up to speed with the ins and outs of the city. Sadly, the efforts ended up falling on deaf ears. The recruits ended up taking everything they learned and join a rival crew or gang. Leaving Dennis feeling defeated and wondering if it was still worth it.
Leaving Beach Crew and Becoming Hunted
With hope slowly fading away for Dennis, he decided to give Rue one final call to ask what was next for him. Perhaps an official promotion ceremony, perhaps desperately asking for a spot in BBMC so he could have a new home, or maybe even perhaps some words of guidance. But without even considering it, Rue told Dennis that she was not the one to talk to and called for a meeting in a few days time.
That meeting would be the last time Dennis and Rue would meet as friends and crew mates. Dennis had taken the two crew meth tables away from the crew warehouse, because he knew what would be coming next. He knew that all that time, effort and money he put into the crew would be for nothing if he didn't take matters into his own hands. He felt used, uncared for and defeated after trying so hard. 
The final offer for the million dollars the crew owed Dennis was $45,000. Dennis took the two meth tables and "rode off into the sunset", never to be seen again around the Beach Crew motel. 
Obviously, Rue didn't take too kindly to this and hunted Dennis down. After two attempts were made on his life, Dennis struck back by kidnapping Kelly and giving Rue an ultimatum. Leave Dennis alone, or Kelly pays the ultimate price. While she chose to say that she accepts the deal, she didn't stick to her promise and the hunting continued. Shots were fired back and forth, leaving Rue downed. 
A day later, Dennis was finally captured after fighting a good fight for a couple of weeks. He was brought to the Sawmill and tortured. Leaving him in ICU and wheelchair bound for a while, thus ending the conflict between both sides.
Pastures New
After the beach crew saga in Dennis's life came to a very climatic end, Dennis decided to contact friends to get him back on his feet, literally, first on the list was his good friend David and Ava Bird. Unfortunately for Dennis, his time trying to gain The Saints trust was not effective and was left in the dark for his future.
Fully healed from his injuries, Dennis decided to use his bike racing skills to try his hand at joining the Lost MC through member Sai Kou. After doing numerous successful (and unsuccessful) robberies with fellow Lost MC members on Vangelico stores and Fleeca banks across the state, Dennis realized he finally found the new family he was looking for, gaining their trust enough for them to make him a Hangaround for the club. Presently, Dennis continues to work hard in order to hopefully be able to earn his Jacket and become a Prospect for the club in the near future.
Rue-turn Of An "Old" Friend
Sai confronted Dennis and wanted to know what really happened with Beach Crew. Dennis explained it all in detail and truth, but obviously this is a bad look and might possibly put the vote for making Dennis a prospect in danger (which was before this very positive). The higher ups want Dennis gone, but Sai is getting all the sides of the story. These include Kelly Dean, Andy two former members of Beach Crew and from "old" friend Rue Minmi, who unfortunately for Dennis, still holds a grudge after completing her revenge on him months ago. 
Sadly for Dennis, only a few days later, with his future with The Lost was highly at stake, Sai met Dennis at the Observatory, and told Dennis the news. Everyone was unanimously in favour of letting him become prospect until the word of Hubcap Jones swung the vote in favour of a unanimous no due to previous history in the club with members stealing meth tables, under similar circumstances that made them too nervous and they didn’t want anything to do with Dennis, again leaving Dennis in the dry about his future. 
During the Conversation With Sai, in the heat of the moment Dennis asked where he could get the biggest gun in the city, when asked why, Dennis replied, with nothing left to loose that he was tempted to, do or die to storm into the BBMC compound, find Rue, kill her, and set her on fire. Upon hearing this, Sai openly announced to Dennis that him and Rue are on good terms and are friends. When the conversation was all said and done, Sai decided to contact Rue fearing for her safety after Dennis's words. After this Dennis was called by non other then Misha Standal and had a conversation about what went down in Mirror Park. 
After this conversation, and Dennis lost what to do, Dennis was called by Cora Star to come to Digital Den for a laptop, upon entering the store was ambushed by Rue and fellow BBMC members and brought upstairs where he was interrogated for his words said to Sai about storming the BBMC compound. Dennis told many times that he had no intention on any violence and that he said it in the heat of the moment. After being interrogated, many words were said between Dennis and BBMC, which ended up with Dennis being wacked in the head with a baseball bat and layed him out on the floor upstairs in Digital Den. 
Thankfully, Misha was around and brought Dennis to the hospital for his minor head injury caused from the attack. Upon leaving the hospital he proceeded to call Sai about what happened. Now Dennis knowing that Sai openly told Rue about his plan said over the heat of the moment. Dennis now doesnt know who he can trust and who he cant. Dennis believes Cora was used for a bait call that got him attacked as she did not answer the follow up call to see if she did want anything from Digital Den. Dennis cant even trust his Dodo manager. Upon returning to Digital Den to collect his car after a Taxi ride, he decided to drive to LSIA, Park his car in the multi-story car park, placed his belongings in the trunk and decided to take a plane out of the city for a couple days to take a break while he thinks about his future.
The end, for now...
Dennis, after everything that went down, decided that because his past will always come back to bite him in the city, meaning that anything he would do from then on would end up in him being neglected and denied from other possible opportunities, he decided his time being in and about the city was over for now. 
With all his outstanding debts paid off, and enough money to easily live off inside his apartment, he finally put his chapter in the city to a very unfortunate end. Once in a blue moon seen outside in the lobby of his apartment by neighbours when receiving Dodo / RHL and food deliveries, its certain that for now, he has no motivation to leave and go outside anytime soon.
