## Personality

### General Traits and work

Badjoy is a scammer that commits drug fraud 90% of the times he sells drugs, very rarely does he sell the actual product, and therefore he's very cocky about how he manages to scam gangs, however he usually gets in trouble for it.

   Aren is very Big-Mouthed, and he is not afraid to insult someone pointing a gun at him, despite him being scared to death (and probably showing that fear through facial expressions).

Aren is not the smartest guy in the Gray Zone, however, he can be very cunning when situations get out of control.

He has a mixture of good luck and bad luck, escaping from every deadly situation (for now) just by a pinch, yet never being able to actually make a profit from his scams. Despite how greedy he can be, he can feel empathy for people in terrible situations, specially when he sees a portion of himself in them, and he is willing to help them in any way, however it can sometimes also be to gain something from someone or to repay someone he's in trouble with. He feels like he's really cool and badass, but is scared from fights, although he sometimes needs to fight for his life in order to survive some situations.

His aim with guns sucks, but sometimes gets a lucky shot.

### Ambitions

Badjoy is a dreamer, and he dreams of having the biggest drug dealing gang in the Gray Zone, drowning in money, although deep inside, he's only looking for acceptance and fame.

## Backstory

### Birth and Childhood

Aren was born in the gray zone, found as a baby in a trash can next to a nest of rats and a spoiled instant ramen soup, he was adopted by Ken Badjoy, who named him after the street the instant ramen factory was stablished. Ken was an old homeless ex gang member that was roughen up by the death of the members of his gang. When he saw Aren he thought about just leaving him behind, but after seeing him almost fall from the trash can, he knew he had to do something about it.

Ken taught Aren all about lying, fighting and bike riding, but he noticed Aren wasn't particularly good at any of them, despite that, he saw Aren as the only legacy he would leave behind, that's the reason Ken taught Aren about dreams, ambitions and how you have to fight for them, no matter what the cost is.

Aren always saw Ken as a father, but Ken didn't like being called that. Despite that, He really felt warmth for the kid and deep inside loved him as a son. Ken tried to be tough and serious with Aren, but the kid's goofy antics really made him break character.

Two weeks after Aren turned 14, He came to the street where him and Ken where staying for the night, only to find out that Ken was bleeding to death from bullet wounds. Aren was in shock, and when he got close, he heard Ken's last words: "Keep dreaming, Badjoy". Aren felt both horror yet happiness that he was finally called after his adoptive father second name, and cried tears of sorrow after watching the scene infront of him. After a couple hours of mourning, he took his jacket, his father's lucky laser gun and dug up his body in a concrete grave. After this event, he roamed the gray zone, learning how to produce and manufacture spiked candies and drugs.

### The party Treats

A couple years later, when Aren was 19, he started to get known around small gangs as a reliable and cheap source of drugs. At the time, Aren was selling legitimately drugs, but wasn't making too much profit from them. In one of those days where Badjoy was just laying around,a note on his hideout's door was left with the message:

"40 kilos of your cheap 'party treats' by monday. Love, the GGs Gang" next to that, an adress to a retired place in the Gray Zone.

Aren was impressed by the amount of 'party treats' they requested for a single day. There was no way he could make that amount of drugs in less than a week, less so by himself, so he decided to cut some corners by packaging tic tacs and selling them as the requested drugs. A few days of packaging later, Monday arrived. After a long ride through the Gray Zone, Badjoy arrived to the destination described in the note, a Warehouse with loud Electro Rave Japanese music. "Weebs, easy target" Aren thought to himself with a grin on his face. When he rang the doorbell, a cute tune played, and when the door opened, he saw an 8ft tall, muscle filled body with a cap on his head.

"Is this Badjoy?" said the big man. Aren started sweating nervously but tried to keep cool, and handed the candy off.

On his way home, he began to think about the trouble he was about to get into, but liked the rush of scamming people. When he heard a loud motor behind him, he knew what was coming. So in a thrilling chase sequence, with a bag of money on his back, Aren exchanged shots with the GGs gang, successfully escaping by shooting the monster truck on 2 of the wheels, however, he got Shot behind the cheek, blowing half of his right cheek up.

After that, he escaped from the gang, with a bag full of money and strong emotions running through his head. At that moment, he decided to start a gang and name it after this event, calling it "The party Treats".

### Current days

Aren isn't doing much now a days. He's just scamming small gangs that won't mean trouble in the long run and every now and then getting into trouble for that. He sometimes thinks he should change the way he makes business, but he's to lazy to do anything about it. Sometimes he helps with some courrier job in order to get by, sometimes he hangs arround his friends.

## Relationships in the Gray Zone

### Friends and Allies

* Hiyori Tamura: One of Aren's best friends, Aren, Hiyori, and sometimes Ami, Asuka and Manami from Harvest hang around frequently, gathering to have some fun doing mischief and silly antics in the Gray Zone. Some of this antics include:

- Doing graffiti in the streets

- Batting some trash in an open field

- Pranking gangs and random people in the Gray Zone

Little Haze: Ever since Aren delivered his "drugs" to Haze, he started to feel his rotting stomach weird when he saw her straight in the eyes. He has never talked to her, but if he has to say something else other than "Here's the good stuff for you", he starts shaking. He has never talked with her but Aren denies he has a crush on her. Hazel is one of the only people Aren has given his products for free on occasions.

Nyozari: Nyozari was first obsessed with Aren when she first saw him. The girl started following him without approaching the zombie. But once Aren noticed, she blushed and asked a very awkward question: "Don't you want to eat my brain?". Aren after hearing coments like that through his whole life was about to gewt upset, but as soon as Nyozari realized she immideately apologized. From that moment, they became good friends, hanging out wherever the girl wanted to and watching horror flicks periodically.

Melia: (WIP)

* Sasha “Sashima”: Sasha and Aren met through Orion Valentine, one of those days that they were having one of the extreme competitions they have. Sasha doesn't take Aren very seriously, however she has saved Aren's life a good amount of times and worries a lot about him, that's why she usually tries to provoke Aren into fighting, showing him his weaknesess in combat in order to teach him fight moves and improving his chances of survival in the worst situation. Aren doesn't get why he gets into fights with Sasha often, however he always ends up with a new fighting tactics at the end of the day. He appreciates the kindness of Sasha after every sparr, something not often seen in the Gray Zone.
* Clemmins: After one of those days doing a bunch of courrier jobs to get by, he had a delivery in the outskirts of the Gray Zone. After a long ride, he found a clean slick guy in a suit blowing up abandoned buildings for no reason. Aren asked if the package was theirs a bunch of times, and after not having a response, the silent man asked him to fight. Aren was confused, and when he saw the RPG targeted at him, he started driving as fast as he could. After an hour of avoiding missiles, Clemmins asked him to stop as he wasn't getting a hostile response from Aren. After a long talk, Aren and Clemmins got along, however, Clemmins made it very clear through direct and indirect comments that he thought that Aren was ugly. This just added to the complexion Aren already has about his cheek missing.

Junction: One of those nights Aren was looking for clients, he came across a white haired kid. Ofcourse, Aren tried his best to look legit to the young man, he gave him his presentation card and smiled through the whole process to give Junction a good impresion. When Junction asked for weed, Aren felt like he catched a mosquito in a fly trap. He gave him a zip bag full of freshly cut oregano and grass. Aren was a little nervouse because Junction started looking at the bag very meticulously, and after a minute or two, the boy threw the bag towards Aren's face and called him a "Magnificent Bastard". After that, Aren and Junction became good friends, getting into trouble together and looking for new people to play pranks on and trashcans to set on fire.

### Acquaintances

Mirai: A couple times, before starting his own gang, Aren did some courrier jobs for a gang called "Raj". Aren thought they were very particular, but thought the leader was interesting in the way they commanded the gang.

Amber: Amongst all the drug dealers in the Gray Zone, for some people Aren is the last resort. This was Amber's case. Amber came to Aren asking for the same substances Alessandra sold. Aren didn't know what she was talking about, but he offered some Halls Cough drops claiming it was "The Same shit". Amber just left after that leavin Aren disappointed.

MilitriKat (WIP)

Kelly Rousseau: It was a evening when Aren went into a girls house and offered his "drugs", but immideately the girl flinched from his looks and realized those were not "clean" candies and ran away. "Huh, some people don't appreciate a handsome face when they look at it" said the zombie as he left the place and closed the door. After a few minutes, while Aren was closing a deal, an angry readhead strided towards him and pinned him down asking him about the girl he just encountered. "OH, THAT GIRL? I mean, those were not anything other than REGULAR candy! Just candy! Now can you move your knee from my head? thank you very much". Kelly took his bag of "product" while the client he was dealing with started kicking him as he couldn't stand up properly after the encounter. From that point onwards, Kelly bullies Aren anytime she has a chance to.

### Rivalries

* Orion Valentine: Aren and Orion have a weird rivalry where they have competitions to settle who is the coolest mf in the Gray Zone, however, they often fail miserably in whatever competition they're engaging on. Some of this competitions are:

- Figuring out who can snort the most cocaine

- Fighting for a girl in a bar (who is most likely Kelly Rousseau)

- Having a competition of who can pee the hardest, farthest and fastest.

### Enemies

Ozzy Bosko: Ozzy is one of the weirdest tempered people Aren has scammed in the past. What Aren thought to be another stupid client turned out to be one of the biggest pains in the arse for him. Ozzy is always chasing after Aren and trying to kill him.
