Carlito De La Cruz

"Que lo que, Mi gente!"

**Carlito De La Cruz** is a character role-played by PainInDiazFTW.

## **Backstory**

Carlito “Flaco” De La Cruz was the youngest son born into a family of hard-working Dominican immigrants, who had settled in Spanish Harlem, New York… Liberty City. Growing up, he learned the value of family, respect, and loyalty, as his parents and older brothers instilled these values in him at a young age. As a teenager, Carlito was restless and yearned for the excitement and possibilities of the world beyond his city. So, as soon as he was of age, he moved to Vice City, Miami in search of new opportunities.

Once in Miami, Carlito immediately started working in the family business of buying and selling properties. The family's empire encompassed everything from nightclubs, vineyards, and restaurants, and he learned about every aspect of the real estate game from his parents. But despite their success, Carlito always wanted more. He couldn't resist the allure of quick money and the glamorous lifestyle that came with it. He turned to the drug trade, initially starting off small by selling marijuana to his friends in college and neighbors. Before long, he had established himself as a major drug plug, with a wide network of suppliers and dealers stretching from New York to Miami.

With the money generated by his drug dealings, Carlito was able to grow the family business further, by making new connections and gaining more business. He was always on the go, chasing the next deal, the next big opportunity to make more money. With his drug empire and real estate ambitions both booming, Carlito began to set his sights on a new horizon, Los Santos California. He planned to expand the family business into a new, untapped market and start fresh with his on-again, but mostly off-again girlfriend, Gigi, who had always been his confidant and partner in crime. Gigi, a beautiful and intelligent woman who he met while attending the University Miami and worked in the same industry… was Flaco’s twin flame and made a better business partner than she did his girlfriend. Their love for the fast life made them inseparable.

Carlito and Gigi decided to start a life together in California, where they could continue their business and build a new life for themselves. With his career and personal life seemingly on an upward trajectory, Carlito realized that he wanted more for himself and Gigi. He started dreaming of opening his vineyard, just like his parents had done when he was a child. And so, they both started working hard towards that goal, using their combined experience and expertise to make it happen. Life in California was just beginning for Carlito and Gigi, and they knew that they had a world of opportunities ahead of them. They were young, ambitious, and fearless, and nothing could stop them from achieving their dreams.

## **Description**

Carlito "Flaco" De La Cruz, a handsome and charming young Dominican man with a New York spanglish accent that attracts people like a magnet. With his tall stature and sun-kissed skin, green/hazel eyes, and perfectly chiseled features, he exudes a quiet confidence and allure that is hard to miss. But don't let his good looks deceive you. Carlito is street-smart and college-educated, with a razor-sharp mind honed by years of experience navigating the rough streets of New York.

He's a natural-born flirt, head-strong, and business-savvy, always unafraid to take risks and seize opportunities. Despite his seemingly carefree attitude, Carlito is fiercely loyal and known to surround himself with powerful people, who he considers his family. He's always there to protect them and offer a helping hand, no matter the situation. One of Flaco’s closest companions is his dog, Fuego or Fuegolito, as he affectionately calls him. The loyal and energetic Rottweiler often accompanies Carlito on his adventures, drawing attention with his playful antics.

If there's one thing that sets Carlito apart, it's his dry humor. He's hilarious in a way that makes people burst out laughing unexpectedly. But don't let his humor fool you; Carlito is a go-getter who knows exactly what he wants and never hesitates to pursue it. For Carlito, ambition and drive are qualities that come naturally, and he's always found himself on top of his game, even in the most challenging situations.
