John Baxter

**Michael Scarn** is a character role-played by R

## General Description

Michael Scarn is a high ranking officer for the Los Santos Police Department with the badge ID of C1-20.

Known to the few remaining police officers, that signed back on, as a no-nonsense by the book officer. If he see's you break the law, even jay walk, you can expect him to crack down on you with a mighty fist. He lives by the mantra "The Law is always right, you are wrong".

If he could be anything, he'd be the Judge, the jury and the executioner, but he'll make do by being the cop that drags you in.

## Physical Description

Standing in at an impressive 6ft 4, he is the tallest of the current roster of the LSPD. Which makes him even more domineering. If his stature doesn't make you think twice about breaking the law, the punishments he deals out will.

Being tall however does have it's downsides. Very few cars can handle his stature, so he has 1 special vehicle made for him when he's on the clock, otherwise you'll catch him in his 4x4. Not only to add to this all that wind has got to the top of his head, thus leaving him with very little hair; to which he's now taken to shaving off.

## Backstory

Born in Australia, **Baxter** moved to the states when he was still a small lad after his father secured a better job working for Bravado, which his where he gets his love for 4x4's. His father was a mechanic working for Bravado and spent most of his life working to provide for his family of 5. Baxter always looked up to his father, he respected him for what he did for himself and his siblings. He taught Michael and his older brother how to fix cars and how to swear. That however is where the memories end for Michael. Not because his father died or his mother ran off, but because Michael got caught up in reading comics and playing the new hit games that came out.

It was hard for Michael to get accustomed to living in America compared to the outback. The things that were out to kill you out there weren't the ones that could talk or do it on a whim. So he found solace in reading about superheroes and caped crusaders. However, it clicked with Michael that locking them up didn't stop them from doing it again or worse. They needed harsher punishment. Criminals shouldn't be allowed to keep doing it. Granted he believed in second chances, maybe even three, as lord knows the amount of chances he got from his mum and dad. He decided to take some of the teaching the comics had and bring justice to the streets of Los Santos where all he saw was crime. He was going to be that change.

So during his High School years he started working out and joined the Football team. He wasn't amazing or particularly good at it, but he was good at running through them. He managed to break the High Schools' record for most Sacks in a game, not an easy feat, but when you're 6ft 4 and built like a brick house at the age of 15, it's not that hard. He got offered a scholarship during the later years, he accepted of course, free tuition!

Nothing remarkable really happened to Michael during his College years. His father missed his graduation, but he was still bringing in the bread for his mother and younger sisters. He didn't hold it against him. Bravado worked him like there was no tomorrow, so it wasn't a surprise when his father had to retire, not out of willing, but due to medical reasons. Bravado didn't really care about their staff, just profits. Corners were cut and Baxter's dad ended up inhaling shit for years that he wasn't supposed to. Long story short, he's buried in the Cemetery, you'll find Michael up there every year marking his respects to his dear dad.

Not long after his dad's passing he passed his Cadet phase and became a probationary officer which mostly saw him working the community and alongside another officer. Not what Michael had in mind, but it was a stepping stone until he passed and was able to crack down on the real crime.

Finally Michael got promoted in February to officer.
