Jagger "Chatterbox" Gerardy

**Jagger "Chatterbox" Gerardy** is a character role-played by Chatterbox.

His mother, the family's breadwinner, was absent in Jagger's life, displaying a negligent detachment. Although she didn't subject him to the physical abuse his father did, her absence and indifference were wounds that cut deep. She escaped into her work, leaving her son to fend for himself. Jagger's pleas for sustenance and attention fell on deaf ears, his cries for help during his father's violent outbursts went unanswered. In the midst of turmoil, he found no shelter in her presence, as her allegiance was to her abusive partner.
Jagger's formative years were marked by hunger, pain, and isolation. He slept in a closet on frigid, unforgiving floors. Wearing tattered clothes that hung loosely on his emaciated frame, he endured more fractures and injuries than most adults experience in a lifetime.
Around his sixth birthday, his parents' violent clash led to his mother's abrupt departure, leaving him abandoned and shattered. As she walked away, she missed the agony in her child's eyes, the heartbreak of rejection etched across his face. Left in the clutches of his abusive father, he wept for the mother he barely knew, grappling with the reality that he'd never see her again.
Most children anticipate school, but education was denied to Jagger. With his mother gone, his father forced him to contribute to their meager livelihood. Forced to sell stolen goods, Jagger was ensnared in his father's criminal endeavors.
A helium tank and balloons thrust him into a harrowing ordeal. As his father demanded he hold the balloons, his frail body lifted off the ground. His warnings were silenced, and his fears were ignored. Terrified to let go, he clung to the balloons as they carried him away. The sight of his unresponsive father became his last memory before he drifted into the unknown.
Hours later, Jagger found himself in an unfamiliar field, surrounded by darkness. Alone and abandoned, he wept as the chill of the night enveloped him. Distant wolves howled, accentuating his isolation. A stranger, Bobo, found him and offered solace. Bobo's farmhouse became a haven, providing warmth and comfort previously unimaginable.
As dawn broke, Jagger's new reality emerged. Bobo's clown costume juxtaposed his compassion. The man, wordlessly, guided him through his newfound home. When Jagger shared the depths of his pain, Bobo refused to call him "Boy." He bestowed upon him the name "Chatterbox," a reference to his unburdened sharing.
Bobo offered sustenance, clothing, and recognition. Chatterbox learned survival skills from Bobo, though the lessons were laced with cruelty. Kennel confinement was the consequence of stepping out of line.
Over time, Chatterbox unearthed unsettling truths. The farmhouse guests never left, and the same questionable red stew became a daily meal. Bobo, now a surrogate father, was the architect of Chatterbox's skewed reality. The stew held secrets, the parties concealed ominous activities. At adulthood's doorstep, Chatterbox was dispatched into the city, coerced to gather money. He performed as a clown, but the world's hostility ignited his anger.
Chatterbox's mistreatment cultivated an anxiety disorder, fueled by an uncontrollable rage. The food he consumed, and the actions he was coerced into, warped him into an anguished existence. This transformation birthed a volatile alter ego, emerging when his emotions overwhelmed him.
Though he learned his legal name was Jagger Gerardy, Chatterbox the Clown became his true identity, shaped by a painful journey that left indelible scars on his soul.

### TL;DR:

Chatterbox's mommy left him and his daddy beat him. He ended up getting taken care of by a cannibalistic clown who forced him to eat people stew everyday and put him in a dog kennel whenever he was bad.

**Q. Is Chatterbox claustrophobic?**
*A. No, Claustrophobia is the fear of small, enclosed spaces. Chatterbox is fine with hiding in small spaces; it's only when he's in a tiny cell that he freaks out. He also doesn't have cleithrophobia, which is the fear of being trapped or unable to escape. Rather, Chatterbox suffers from PTSD. Whenever he is put into a small cell, he has flashbacks of how Bobo treated him and panics. Larger cells are fine because he has room to move around, but smaller cells bring back too many memories of the dog kennel. This is also the reason why some bright lights are okay, such as headlights, but he freaks out when flashlights are shone in his face.*
**Q. Why does Chatterbox hate swearing?**
*A. Bobo said that swearing was bad and would put Chatterbox in the kennel if he said bad words.*

**Q. Is Chatterbox a gangbanger?**
*A. No, no, no, no, no! Lies, lies, lies! A gangbanger uses guns and violence for criminal activities. Chatterbox is nice. He might shoot at a cop's tires, but he has never killed a cop. He might pull a gun on someone to steal their weapons, but he never robs them of their money. He even lets people sell meth on his corner. A gangbanger would have killed him.*
**Q. Why does Chatterbox hate BGB so much?**

## Clown Family - The Clowncil

The **Clowncil**, also known as the **Council of Clowns,** or less formally the "**Clown Family**", is an organization which operates within Los Santos. The group is often referred to as the "Clown Gang", but this name is less encouraged because of its association with gang bangers, the proclaimed enemies of the clowns. Rather, the Clowncil considers itself a family which does favors for each other and works on projects together. The group was formerly known as the "**Clown Cartel**" early in 2022 when they got into heavier crimes such as heists, meth trafficking, and meth running.

Kirk joined the Clown Family after his Bandito Boy partner-in-crime Abner Vaca went to Afbanistan.
