### ***Overview/Lore***

Sterling Deadlocke was born in *Vice City's Ocean View Hospital* on *December 7th 1987*. Her parents were two immigrants from Ireland and Italy living in the country 5 years before meeting. **Alistair Deadlocke** moved to *Liberty City* in the summer of 1980 with the intention of going to school to become an actor and screenwriter. His dreams however didn't pan out causing him to join the LCPD in the Fall of 1981 and quickly became a lead detective in the homicide division. Alistair would later take a leap of faith and found himself in the *Vice City Police Department* working as a Narcotics detective in the ongoing drug trade focusing on Cocaine. Meanwhile **Veronica "Vera" Leone** came to the states in *1980 arriving in Los Santos* hoping to make it big without her parents help. She came from the Leone's, Fashion Designers and Models, with her parents (Giovanni & Caterina) hoping Vera would follow in her footsteps. Vera spent 4 years in *Los Santos* before leaving for greener pastures *in Vice City. In March of 1987* Vera would meet Alistair, an Irish detective who was in desperate need for a good time. Alistair had been wrapped up the Kingpin Tommy Vercetti for the last 2 years, opting to let him go in favor of taking bribes in exchange for removing evidence and feeding him intel, changing him from an honorable good man, to someone who was too far gone. Vera and Alistair shared a few nights in March and eventually parted ways. However Alistair would be contacted in the fall by Vera explaining that she was pregnant, and the two agreed to stay together.

In the early years of Sterlings childhood, Alistair would find himself trying his best to be a good man and father for Vera and Sterling, trying to leave Tommy Vercetti behind and even at one point proposed moving back to *Galway* so they could raise Sterling in a safer environment. But no matter how much he tried, and no matter how much Vera tried eventually Alistair would give in and lose his way becoming an violent alcoholic, an awful father, and a terrible husband. When Sterling was just 7 her parents would divorce and Vera took Sterling to *Los Santos* to raise her on her own. Vera would try her best to raise Sterling on her own but she struggled trying to school Sterling and hold a career in modeling. Eventually the two grew distant for many years with Sterling being schooled by private tutors and spending much of her time alone at home with just her Nanny. Which when she reached her teenage years allowed her to be rebellious and a free spirit. However due to her social ineptitude she often found herself taking the bus early in the morning to Paleto and hiking on Mount Chiliad and often spending the nights camping and drinking if her mom was out of town.

In 2005 Sterling would find herself attending the University of San Andreas for a major in English and a minor in theater. During this time Sterling ran a news club called SAN or San Andreas Network, which was a vlog featuring herself, Frankie Pierro, and a Canadian exchange student Cameron Era. In her second year of school though Sterling would be struggling with a cocaine addiction, leading her to try other drugs and grow a further dependency on them. This would continue into 2010 where Sterling would be held back from graduation as she failed the school year and was admitted into Parsons for the first time driving a stake between her and her mother. Sterling would be in and out of rehab either escaping or getting clean long enough to be released. But on June 5th 2010, during a drunken rage she would return to her mothers home to start an argument, but instead found the house ransacked and her mother shot dead. This would mark a turning point in Sterlings life where she would fall further into her vices and eventually had to leave Los Santos in late Summer 2012 after doing something she cannot forgive herself for. She would end up in Liberty City trying to find her dad but instead found herself working for a man named Vincent Thompson. Vincent would use Sterlings vulnerability against her offering himself as a friend in order to manipulate Sterling into becoming a bookkeeper and a fall guy for his money laundering. However after being arrested by the LCPD Sterling met one Sargent Jack Criglim who offered her a way out. She would reach an agreement with the LCPD where she would work as a CI for the next year which led to Vincents arrest in 2017 and Sterling being absolved of her crimes. During this time she would purchase a penthouse with the help of her Italian grandparents and moved Jack and their mutual friend Tony Mozzarella in. But come 2022 Sterling found herself ready to return home and left Liberty City behind to return home in Los Santos.

In August of 2022 Sterling would revisit her mothers grave for the first time in 10 years, and would begin to try to find herself once again. This led her to Weazel News which for some time became her home. Since then Sterling has suffered various injuries, found her own family, been married and divorced, and ended up meeting Shae Vercetti-Rema. Shae motivates Sterling to be a better person, and even led Sterling to finding a job in the Department of Corrections. Leading Sterling to the point of her life she is currently at.

Sterling would be moved to witness protection and her speech would slowly return after 2 weeks or so.
* **Sterling would discover in September and October** that she has piss poor vision and Shae would force her to get prescription lenses for her own good. Asher Hart would later hit Sterling with a flashlight damaging her right eye leading her to need Surgery due to her vision not working properly.
