Charlie Clouds

Mother (Julia Santos) and father (Shawn Clouds) fell in love on spring break in while meeting for the first time. Julia had just finished getting her cosmetology license and Shawn was a bachelor and aspiring businessman.  They had bumped into each other at a nightclub and instantly knew they needed one another. Julia lived in Vice City (where they had met) while Shawn was from Liberty City just on a vacation. But what started as a vacation for Shawn became a heist to steal Julia's heart and make Julia "his". They exchanged information and Shawn returned to Liberty. Speaking on the phone almost every day getting to know each other, it only took 2 weeks for Shawn to visit Julia once more. This time when returning to Liberty City, Julia would join him as they decided to live a life together in an eloping marriage.

After 2 months into their new beautiful life, Julia found out she had been pregnant. Jumping with joy she couldn't wait to welcome this new life into the world. Meanwhile Shawn was terrified. Immediately things changed. Shawn was distant and aggression seemed to be a new trend of his. At 5 months of pregnancy, it hits Julia she has no idea what "business" Shawn does. Blinded by their love and marriage, him providing the life they had spoken about and her doing hair as a fun side hustle was enough. In slight panic she begins to investigate. Just days after, she uncovers the truth that Shawn was actually just a highly skilled criminal. Heists, Banks, Assassinations, etc. Julia's biggest fears came to light. She had married a murdering criminal and was halfway to birthing his child.

On November 11, 1993, Charlie Clouds was born in Liberty City. Just a few days before his father Shawn was incarcerated for a RICO. Julia as healthy as she could be for the birth would begin to spiral into a very deep depression. Her cousin Juan from back in Vice City had reached out, he wanted to open up a business and relocate to Liberty City. In doing so he moved in with Julia to help with baby Charlie and opened up his own bodega shortly after. By the time Charlie turned 2 years old, Juan found himself legally adopting Charlie when Julia was hooked on drugs and became an addict through her depression.

15 years later, Charlie found as he gets ready to finish High School, he is very good with numbers and business from working with his uncle Juan in the bodega. Charlie also sees that he is becoming more and more infatuated with making money. However, the way he would make extra money outside of the bodega was a conflict of his uncle Juan's interest for him as he knew. From selling nickel and dime bags of weed, to underground fist fights Charlie was making a name for himself in the underground world. School isn't something he enjoyed, he just wanted to become a boss and do it as soon as he was done with high school. He gave his uncle that promise. Once he graduated, he started to save up his money and was performing small acts of crime with high pay to keep out of his uncle's radar.

Fast forward to 2023 and now Charlie has relocated to Los Santos. He was always a loner but when he moved to LS, he found himself a group of guys that were interested in making big power moves in the underground world. Just what he was looking for. But they needed some muscle. Knowing how the streets work and how to operate a business from working with his uncle, Charlie Clouds is now established with a seat at the table in one of the city's biggest gangs, Silver Cerberus. He serves as a wild card where he can get his hands dirty and keep them clean with his street unit, or he can sit back and have his account flourish through the gangs corrupt businesses.

Charlie sends money to his Uncle Juan in thanks for raising him and teaching him everything he knows about business. He also sends money into an account every week for his mother to get her life back on track once she enrolls and completes rehab. As for his father, he was killed for getting mixed in with the wrong crowds while in prison. Charlie refuses to go down the way his father did and will do anything to not leave his family behind. And should it come to that he WILL make sure that they will be good.
