## Backstory

***Work in Progress***

Alicia was born in Los Santos to Arthur "X, Big Homie X" and Ladonna "Lil Bit" Jones who were both members of the Black Aces Party (a branch off of the "Black Panther Party for Self Defense"). Her and her family lived on Forum Drive with the rest of the Black Aces who ran operations out the block up until 1982. During this time AJ was in high school where she made good grades, become a member of the high school dance team, but also would sell drugs to her fellow classmates alongside Brandi. Though she was never caught there were certain instances that were close, or where her dad might've caught her.

Her Uncle "Jon Jon" was a local boxer for the Wildcard Gym in Chamberlain. He was shot down by officers who passed it off as a "traffic stop gone wrong", it was a month AJ says she will never forget. This caused an uproar with the Black Aces around the neighborhood. It was an unsafe month, for weeks the neighborhood was in a stir, forcing many Black Aces to get caught up and do jailtime for their crimes towards the local Davis PD station.

In 1982 the BAP was disbanded and her parents decided to retire from the life in Mirror Park. Her father never totally abandoned the life, and would still come down to the block to help keep order and give back to what was now considered the Forum Drive Families along with other former Black Aces. AJ also had cousins and close friends, (mostly kids from the neighborhood like Rousso and Kelly) involved in the Families that rocked green flags. Being brought up in the life Alicia only really did small tasks for the family, mostly dealing in the drug game and supplying to her friends, or even bringing in new clients in for the drug business. She didn't earn her colors until after she finished her high school career.

AJ had the opportunity to go to college to be a dancer, but declined because it wasn't her true dream. Against her parents wishes, she wanted to be a dancer for "Soul Train", a popular show she enjoyed as a child. She now keeps herself busy doing hair at the local salon, and taking on the "Queen B"/Big Sister role of the new generation involved in the Forum Drive Families. Til this day she still tries her best to stay true to the original Black Aces Party values by putting her people first hand above the law, and giving back to her community/da block above all else. She rocks her dad's black beret in honor of this.

## Life in 1985

By 1985 AJ's parents had since moved and were retired in Mirror Park. AJ decided to stay in the southside because it was more her speed and style, and everyone she knew lived there still. She visits her family from time to time but stay independently in Southside with her aunt and cousins.

### Going to the Families

AJ was depressed about not making it on Soul Train, so she took this time to go out and see the world a bit for herself. This "vacation" away landed her in Florida where she stayed for a bit before becoming homesick and returning to Los Santos. After coming back, she was left her aunt's house to housesit while her auntie went out of town to care for a sick family member. "Auntie's House is where The Families would protect and hold down while Auntie is gone. In April most of the block was returning home from their time in jail or just time away in general. Familiar faces started coming around again and people she grew up with were now becoming the leads in the gang. AJ was able to get back in touch with Lenny Russo and Brandi Townsend, 2 people she grew up with the most on Forum, and rekindled their childhood friendship.
