### Biography

Drayden Folster was born on July 2nd, 1981 in Liberty City. Raised by a single father who owned a bakery, Drayden spent much of his childhood helping his dad work the shop from a very young age. Unfortunately everything took a turn for the worst when the recession of 2008 hit. The business was already in a pretty bad shape, but with an economy going south, the Palermo family who had loaned Drayden's father money to renovate the bakery came looking to collect early. With no funds to pay up, they took ownership of the bakery shop and Drayden's father died shortly after. Quiet possibly due to a broken heart.

With the loss of his father and job, Drayden decided to pack his bags and move west to Los Santos looking for a change of pace and a better life. After selling the little belongings that his father left him, he was able to scrape together enough cash to take a bus cross country to start his new life. But things aren't always paradise in the land of movies and beaches either. Drayden can be found wandering around outside of stores and places popular to other civilians usually panhandling. He has been known to ask people for money, food, and sometimes cigarettes.

With the adversity that he faces, and the large wealth gap between classes, Drayden constantly finds himself being made fun of and called names simply just for being poor and living on the street. But luckily for him he always keeps his head held high and continues to push on. He can also sometimes be seen riding shopping carts around town, as he says ***"using them like a scooter"*** beats walking an extra 2 hours.

### Appearance

Drayden is known to have black hair and brown eyes. His signature hoodie he wears is a black and grey striped pattern and one of the last relics of his past in liberty city. He also wears a maroon pair of sweat pants and some Gap slides his father bought him shortly before passing away.

### Personality

Drayden is a calm guy who can usually get a long with most people. While he isn't shy at all, ***(considering he has no issue begging complete strangers for money)*** he doesn't really like to make new friends or keep people close.

### Life on the Street

Drayden's life from an outside perspective may look pretty bad to most, considering he is living on the streets. He however has no issue with it. Drayden always dreamt about being able to travel one day, but considering he was his fathers only help at the bakery he never had a chance to move around till now. Every day on the streets can be a new adventure for him. One day he might pitch his tent under a bridge and then the next night he could be in a park or close to the observatory with a view of the city.

Unfazed by the living conditions, Drayden also has been quoted saying things like ***"I'm to lazy to go back to work"*** & ***"I'd rather be out here asking for a buck then bagging another mans groceries for one".*** So the chance of Drayden ever finding real work or trying to find a home off the streets is slim to none.

### Trivia

* Drayden was once clocked rolling 65 MPH down a hill with a shopping cart, and banned from ever riding them on the street anymore, he must keep it on the sidewalk and try to not go down hills.
* A private investigator once followed him for 6 weeks and projected that he made anywhere from $6000 to $8000 panhandling during that time. He was also seen burring most of the money and still only eats off about $6 a day.
* Was once held hostage in Burgershot by an employee who was caught with a dismembered body in the kitchen. He has not since returned to that establishment to eat.
