Murder Mystery 31: Berkeley-Felden State Prison

#### Brief Overview

THE CRUSHER is a large, muscular man who stands at 6'5". While he can look and sound incredibly intimidating, those who take the time to know him quickly learn he's actually a big sweetheart. His legal name is Paul Jameson, but he goes by his nickname 'THE CRUSHER'. He has no family, except for his adopted cat Lila.

#### Personality

THE CRUSHER is a kind and simple soul. He loves meeting people and being surrounded friends. To come off as more likable to those around him, he'll often pass off his own, possibly controversial statements as blanket statements. He hates to see others upset and will try avoid being in or near tense situations. INFP-T, probably.

#### Backstory

Paul (or PJ, in high school) (or THE CRUSHER, to his fellow mob-mates), was born in a small, boring town in middle of nowhere Nebraska. Growing up, he loved being part of groups- his little league baseball team, the neighborhood moms book group, etc. etc. but mainly, THE CRUSHER just loved having friends and getting to know people. Unfortunately, he never made any best friends, and would just bounce between friend groups during middle school and high school.

THE CRUSHER attended Nebraska Community College but dropped out to follow a few people he thought were his friends because they were going to start their own "trampoline maintenance business". THE CRUSHER never caught on to the fact that trampoline maintenance business was actually code for crime syndicate until he was in too deep in the mob. The mob leader disliked THE CRUSHER's pleasant demeanor and empathetic nature, but he loved how big THE CRUSHER was. THE CRUSHER is 6'5" and just massive all around-- big muscles, big legs, and big hands. His hands are so big that sometimes he accidentally crushes things in them without realizing, which earned him the nickname "THE CRUSHER" in the mob.

The mob mostly did petty crimes for cash-- stealing people's lawnmowers for ransom, kidnapping cows for ransom, threatening to poison someone's corn fertilizer for ransom. Once, they kidnapped a cat, Lila, but the owner didn't care and didn't want her back. The mob planned on just leaving the cat on the side of the road, but THE CRUSHER hated the idea that the cat would be all alone, so he took her in and they've been best friends ever since.

When THE CRUSHER was 24, the mob decided they wanted to kick their crimes up a notch. They had ransomed just about everyone there was to ransom and wanted to try robbing a bank. Unfortunately, they took too long robbing and the police showed up while they were stuffing bags with cash. Everyone escaped, except for THE CRUSHER who was too slow. THE CRUSHER was thrown into the Berkeley-Felden State Prison for 10 years. He didn't mind prison too much- he liked that there were plenty of people for him to meet and make friends with-- but he did get sort of bored, sometimes. He managed to sneak the cat Lila into prison as well. Lila was rarely anything but an absolute menace to everyone, except for THE CRUSHER. None of THE CRUSHER's prison mates had the heart to tell him that Lila was an asshole, leading to THE CRUSHER believing she is nothing but an angel.

#### Trivia

* THE CRUSHER suffers from male patterned baldness and hates it when people bring it up.
