LJ Tucker, previously known as Luna Johansson, has had a rough life. Going all the way back to the beginning, she was adopted into a massive family. Her Immediate family consisted of her mother, her father, and 4 brothers. While she loved her family, they were in one of the largest gangs in that city, and she was EMS. Luna loved being EMS, she loved taking care of people, helping save lives, and making friends all around the city. The only person in her family that was not gang related was her grandmother, who was coincidentally her boss a the hospital. Her loving and energetic personality is what drew people into her. Cops, Criminals, and regular old people loved Luna for how willing she was to help everyone. Aside from EMS work, she worked part time at the Vanilla Unicorn to make extra money. From there she developed regulars that would also come see her while she was working at the hospital. Between the two very social jobs, she was a well known and respected person.

One day, Luna's kindness was taken advantage of, and it ended up with her getting critically shot in the back of her skull. The bullet entered through the back of her head, and shattered the back half of her skull. Her grandmother was the one that conducted her life saving surgery. Through that surgery, the back half of her skull was replaced with a titanium plate and she entered a coma. After she woke up from that coma, everything changed. Thankfully, after she woke up she could still walk and talk all the same, but the person everyone knew and loved, would soon be unrecognizable. Luna struggled with PTSD regarding the gun shot, and became severely depressed while also suffering from anxiety. She felt like she was ready to go back, but it turns out she was not, and she was placed on an administrative LOA until she was able to fully recover physically and mentally. Luna had a best friend named Raven who was a cop, and she was Luna's rock through this troubling time. One day, while she was hanging out with Raven, her uncle, shot at and robbed her best friend. Luna witnessed the entire encounter and proceeded to make a statement to the cops. Apparently one of her family members caught her talking to the cops and she was labelled a snitch. From there, her family disowned her for turning on her uncle.

Through begging and crying, Luna wanted to desperately be welcomed back into her family, that she was given a task to prove her loyalty; Kill her best friend Raven. Family meant everything to Luna, so despite the fact it could change her career and her relationships, she did it. She received help from her then-fiancé in preparing for this life changing task. Luna used and manipulated her best friend to come help her, while her family was hiding in the bushes near by to make sure she completed this task to prove her loyalty. Luna proceeded to shoot her friend in the face, and go on the run. This is where LJ's criminal streak started. After shooting her best friend, LJ went to join a gang ran by her uncle but separate from her family, called Zero Tolerance (ZT). From there, she blossomed from a goody-two shoes EMS, to a violent street gang member. Luna was angry at the world for what happened and the fact that she had nobody to help or nor defend her, and she almost died because of it. She decided to take her fate into her own hands and only rely on herself and her newfound family. Although, the gang ZT did not last long in the city, and Luna was left with only one decision, which was to return to the one thing she knew, which was EMS.

Luna talked to her then-fiancé, and got her record expunged, so she could "turn over a new leaf" and go back to EMS. The only issue here is, she did not feel the same love and passion for EMS, but she knew she had to wait for her time. The job she once so passionately loved was now just something to pass the time and make money. This is where she began to master her skills of manipulation. Some people did not believe she returned to the same person she once was, but she eventually got them to turn out too. She became corrupt in subtle ways, such as being a "hood doctor," handing out medications that she knew were needed to create drugs, and even helping her family and friends avoid the police. During this time, she met members of The High Council (THC) and became great friends with them. She was primarily their hood doctor, and always kept surgical kits on her so she could always save their lives. This is where she met Thomas Tucker, a member of THC who had been fatally shot by the cops. Luna was taken to an abandoned hospital to do a life saving surgery on Tucker, from which THC was not only grateful, but would return the favor later down the line. While Luna had everyone convinced that being a part of gang life was just a slip up, she knew that she could not stay there for forever. She stayed there long enough that she reached a management position and was one of the top surgeons because while she hated being "good" again, she was damn good at her job. After a period of time, Luna decided one to to leave everything behind. She left the hospital and her fiancé with no destination in mind, but knew it was her time to return to her old ways.

Luna went to THC for help, but ended up gaining an entire family as they welcomed her with open arms after everything she had done for them. The issue here was, THC was at war with her family's gang and from there, she was disowned by the entirety of her family. That did not matter to her because she finally felt at home with THC and started to evolve into the truest version of herself. The only problem with THC, was her rivalry with Thomas Tucker. At the time Thomas and LJ initially did not have that great of a start. From the time as being their hood doctor to her first day as being a member of his gang, they did not get along one bit, in fact he bullied her more than anyone else. In fact, Luna felt as if he did not recognize her as a legitimate member and consistently doubted her abilities as a criminal. One day, their leader put them in the same car as "battle buddies" and they realized not only were they more similar in personality than they thought, they began to like each other. Eventually, LJ and Thomas fell in love, and started their story together as a less tragic, modern day, Bonnie and Clyde.

Now, how did Luna become LJ? Well, LJ felt as if Luna was associated with the person that she once was, which was a goody-two shoes EMS worker. LJ wanted to be feared, she knew what she was capable of, but with her name sticking to Luna, she knew nobody would take her seriously. After months of living as someone who she did not want to be and leaving her job, her family, and her ex-fiancé, she started to let her true colors show. In order to mark this new beginning, she took her initials from her old name, and made them her first name and used her boyfriends last name. From that point on, Luna Johansson was dead and LJ Tucker was born. From there, it was like all hell broke loose. She became an aggressive, hot-headed and hard-headed badass who was not afraid of anything. She was no longer a nervous and scared criminal, but a force to be reckoned with. While her temperament changed, her morals did not. THC was now her new family, and family still meant everything to her. When she says she will do anything for family, that literally means anything. She lives for her family and she would die for her family.

To this day, nobody really knows which version of LJ was true. Some feel like she was always meant to be a criminal, but used EMS as façade and was just lying to everyone about who she was. Others say that getting shot, entering a coma, and suffering from TBI permanently changed her brain chemistry, and she woke up an entirely different person. Some just think she's a crazy psychopath. At the end of the day, her core morals stuck with her, but she displays them in different ways.

## Los Santos

LJ Tucker started her journey in Los Santos after receiving a letter from someone stating that her friends, and her love, had moved here. LJ had not realized that her crew had moved, so she was extremely thankful to receive this letter. LJ packed everything up, and moved to Los Santos to surprise Thomas and the rest of the group. She still loved Thomas with her entire being just like the day they all got separated and knew she had to find him because he means absolutely everything to her. Once reconnected with her old friends, and her one true love, LJ finally felt at home again. LJ learned that they were no longer operating under the name of THC, but she was still happy to be running the streets with her new family, Below Zero. Despite LJ's personality when she runs that streets, she is still kind and welcoming to those she meets, as long as they do not cause her or her family any harm. LJ is living her best life working at the Japanese Noodle Restaurant, Taco Bomb, and the Vanilla Unicorn. In her free time, she is mostly partaking in criminal activities and making sure her family stays safe. Her family already knows just how crazy she truly is, but it seems that she has everyone fooled with her kindness and excitement to be homies with everyone, for the time being. LJ has been deemed the family's "resident psychopath" because with her life motto, she is not afraid of anything. If nobody else will do it, or others are scared, they know they can always ask LJ to do the craziest of things. When given the opportunity, LJ will show Los Santos who she really is and hopefully build up her once legendary reputation again alongside her boys.

## Adventures in Los Santos

### The Wedding

Ever since LJ has moved to Los Santos, she has fallen in love with the city and the people that live here, but she has fallen even deeper in love with her partner. When LJ chose her new name, she chose to take Thomas' last name because she knew they would be forever, whether they were married or not, but she always dreamed of getting married one day. She has always known that marriage wasn't needed to define their love and never doubted their love, but she wanted to show the everyone else their devotion. One day, while going to pick up their welfare check, LJ met Judge Miranda Hunt. While there and talking with her, she asked if she did marriage licenses, with the Judge's confirmation, LJ tried to convince Thomas that it was finally time to get married. Thomas kept in contact with Judge Miranda, and got their marriage license done as a surprise to LJ. From there, the wedding planning took off. LJ and Thomas invited everyone they could think of that was near and dear to their hearts. That being said, they held the wedding on the beach at Pacific Bluffs Resort, and then moved to the dance floor of the club for the party. It was quite literally the best and happiest day of her life. LJ let her hair down, and wore a beautiful white dress with black lace, while her family was the wedding party surrounding her in their iconic baby blue. During the party though, someone sent out a bleet saying they would update the name on her outstanding warrant. She did not let this down any part of her day, and she decided to keep the party going until they were all tired out.

After some heavy drinking, a great time, and some rest, Thomas and LJ did what they knew best together, Crime. While being life partners, they are also partners in crime, whether it's big or small, they do everything together, matching their claim of being modern day Bonnie and Clyde. While committing these crimes, they ended up getting chase by the police. During the chase, another car crashed into them, sending Thomas flying out of their Vagrant. After stopping to make sure that he was okay, he told her to go, to try and save herself because they knew of the potential of being caught with her outstanding warrant. Despite her best efforts, she ended up getting caught. While in the cells she was notified not only was she going to prison for her crimes previously committed, but that she would be charged with over 100 charges from her warrant. The detectives tried their best to get her to say other people were involved on the charges regarding her warrant, but LJ's motto is "You live for family, and you die for family" which also includes going to jail for 2000 months. A sentence this long is shocking to many, but in her eyes, it is iconic and only a small step into building her reputation amongst those she shares the streets with. Some would be upset or angry if they went to prison on their wedding day, which to an extent she was, but she couldn't be happier that she did it with her husband, her life partner, her partner in crime by her side. After the wedding day, her family and her husband has visited her a few times just to make sure she's okay and that she's safe, and she wouldn't have it any other way.

#### The Betrayal

After her wedding, it's been a pretty wild ride. Later that night after her wedding, doing crime with her now-husband, police officers caught her for robbing an ATM, and a 2000 month warrant was served. LJ then took her mugshot in her wedding dress, and went to jail the same night she got married. After that though, things were looking pretty glorious. Her and her husbands were doing well for themselves, and their family was on the up and up. Although, there are always trouble in paradise. As time went on, tensions rose within Below Zero, and especially between leadership. What herself and others failed to realize was that this divide in the family was cut deeper than we thought. There were conversations had, secrets shared, and unfortunately, the split in the family was unrepairable. Eugene Wolfgang and Lizzie May were the perpetrators of creating this divide. What hurt LJ the most though was that Lizzie, her best friend, her sister, and her maid of honor, stabbed her in the back. Conversations could have been had, assets and money could have been split up if they decided to go their separate was peacefully, but Lizzie and Eugene and the rest of the members they decided to take with them, robbed LJ and other members of Below Zero, blind. Took everything from money, drugs, and guns from their shared family storage. Lizzie and the rest of those that split went on to create the Gang Purple Haze.

Purple Haze and Below Zero were rivals, partaking in multiple wars, lots of shit talk on bleeter, and the obliteration of friendships. Kidnappings, Shootings, and sabotage was what life was like for months, until we were able to settle down on some type of repayment for all of the things they stole from us. The rebuild for Below Zero was tough on LJ, low on members, low on supplies, and lots of jobs. Over time though, more people gravitated towards Below Zero, and we bounced back better than ever, gaining more friends and family members along the way.

## Time for Leadership

After the Split, LJ rose to a leadership position in Below Zero where she managed finances, inventory, and recruiting new members into Below Zero on top of trying to manage relationships with other gangs to keep war at bay as she tried to Assist Thomas in building the empire they always dreamed of. During this time, she found The Underground, and started riding passenger for Thomas for Street Races, because everyone knew she couldn't drive. Eventually, Thomas helped her start learning tracks, and racing soon became a family activity for the majority of Below Zero. It was tough intially because she knew absolutely nothing about the racing scene, and definitely was not good at driving. Over time, she met people willing to help her learn more about driving, and continued pushing her to keep doing better. A few of those people were Smoke, Zach Uchiha, Ally Harris, and Shane Prescott. they were the ones that saw how dedicated she was to becoming a better racer, and they helped her out as much as possible. Overtime, she became one of the better drivers in the Underground, Smoke told her one day she was in the Top 10 Racers in the underground. She went from not being able to complete a lap, to placing top 5, to consistently placing podium for the races.

In fact, LJ loved racing so much, she became an Organizer within the Underground and began hosting races herself. She never placed well on those races because she was too busy worrying about everyone else, but the Underground slowly became a home away from home with her. Shane, eventually gave her the racing name of Baby Driver, because she was by far the most improved racer from the time she started, to the time she began placing podium. LJ even took up her chance at creating a race track. If there is one thing LJ hated the most about racing, it was when cops began to rain on her parade. In order to throw racing right in her face, she created a track that did a big loop around all of the Police Departments in the city, with the requirement of whenever you pass by the stations, you have to honk your horn as loud as humanly possible. Being brand new at creating tracks, she was afraid that people would dislike it, and not to race it, but many of the racers LOVED it, and requested it all of time. Her track, PD Breeze, became a part of the circuit of tracks that they taught and ran week to week.

At this point, LJ had everything she could ever want. The cars she dreamed of, a house, respect and leadership in her gang, and the love of her life. Things could have been going better at this moment. Over time though, LJ became stressed all of the time and slowly started staying inside of her and Thomas' house more and more often.

## End of Life

LJ had been around sparingly, and it took a toll on Thomas. LJ and Thomas had their differences in the past, but nothing this serious. LJ received a text from Thomas regarding divorce. The only issue is, when LJ said "til death do us part" she meant it. She was not going to live a single day without Thomas. She tried to talk him out of it, and prove that they could make things work, but Thomas was adamant. It was at this time, LJ pulled out her weapon, and shot Thomas, aiming to kill him. She knew the shots would cause commotion, and her gang members made her way to their back yard. LJ shot another one down, before Smoke and her best friend Ally, had shot her and taken her down. LJ was pronounced dead at Ocean Medical Hospital on September 2, 2023.
