Ashton Martin

The Martin family is known for cultivating the finest of herbs in North Yorkshire and Ashton didn't fall too far from the plant. Ashton Martin, born sometime during the 1989 growing season in the back of the old man's transit van, grew up tending to his families (now legal) multi-generational pot farm.

After trying college and getting kicked out for selling weed to the volleyball team he returned to North Yorkshire to help his parents with the now legal grow operation. The legality, however, was not enough for Ashton's parents who passed away during a drug smuggling operation gone bad.

All of the martin's family assets were seized in the raid and the farm was completely destroyed. Left with nothing but a few seeds and a dream Ashton was extremely eager to move to the North Yorkshire dales to restart from nothing and try to buy his family property back.

Once Ashton got back to the good old dales, he was greeted by one of his old High School buddies that never left the area. His buddy knew the area extremely well, he knew most of the people around, and also had a nice spot for Ashton to set up his shop until he got his feet back on the ground. He informed Ashton of the dangers of the dales and set him up with a sawn-off shotgun for a little protection in case something went extremely wrong. With the blessings of his buddy, Ashton was able to grow copious amounts of North Yorkshire’s finest right under the police officers' noses. Using his cunning ability to evade the police Ashton was able to gather enough dirty money together to afford his own car. The only question was…. How does he clean the money?

Walking down to the local store in the nearest town wondering how to clean his recently acquired cash a blacked out 4 door Audi s3 pulls up on him. Two masked people with North face jackets and Nike joggers on stepped out of the passenger side of the car armed to the teeth with knives. One of them yells “Put your hands up, get in the car, and you won't get hurt” Freaking out Ashton complies and gets in the back seat of the vehicle.

The armed group proceeds to interrogate Ashton and asks why he is in their city and why Ashton has the same haircut as his boy (who also had a dazzling skin fade that was clearly visible behind his Balli mask). They then tell Ashton to cut his hair and begin to take him to the barber shop. As Ashton is thrown out of the backseat of the car on to the curb of the barber shop a group of guys (appearing to be mechanics) in all black and orange walk out. They didn't have guns out, but you could tell they meant business.

The north face boys instantly started shaking in their boots. Not sure what exactly the head honcho of the black and orange side told them, but they took that s3 and bolted off like the feds were after them. Head honcho walked over to Ashton helped him up and introduced himself as Trevor, the owner of Halfords. After a brief conversation Ashton found out Trevor was his high school buddies' boss and was offered a part time job at the shop helping with Oil Changes and miscellaneous tasks. Ashton, excited for a chance at some clean money to buy a car, jumps on the opportunity.

After proving his worth for a few weeks Ashton was then entrusted with preparing all of the repair kits for the shop. This also meant an introduction to a new side to the mechanic shop. The exciting side. The dirty side. The mechanic shop was a big front. The shop was a hub for local Guns, drugs, money laundering, extortion, and much more… But Ashton was just a tad too late to enjoy the benefits of this newfound opportunity. That next day the pigs raided the shop. With a shit tonne of firearms and drugs stashed under the aquarium in the basement the entire staff was indicted, and everyone arrested.

Everyone but the new employee Ashton who was able to sneak out of the air vent in the bathroom. Ashton – now on the run - is looking for a new place to start over and use everything he has learned to become the best criminal around in Manchester where he can use his fine skills to eventually buy his family property back. I got in with the wrong crowd became a gang member carrying knives and guns, got into the drug side of things dealing meth weed and coke being the delivery lad on my bike moving forward 10 years and still being part of the gang but a more valued member now trying to work my way up to the top, I have been involved in armed robberies etc. along the way boosting and jacking cars chopping them to make serious money and also robbing atm machines out of the wall with our whips various armed bank robberies and a few gang shootings along the way. so had a very interesting life growing up wanting to try start a fresh in another city but still dabble in the criminal stuff but more under the radar wanting to own my own business to launder cash through and try stay off the drugs and just deal them instead.
