## Life

Nick Mahone had arrived in Los Santos in August 2019. Trying to live the American Dream and working his way up with the Sandking he had brought with him from abroad and his little burger mask. During a SANews car show, that he won, he met up with his first friend in Los Santos, Ronaldo Juniorovski. Both of them got along well as they were passionate about cars in general. Ronaldo had a little group of friends, only consisting of civilians (including himself). Nick got in touch with the McDonnie family (that has gone to Rothschild for a few months) and a certain Rauf Alves, who loved to smoke a lot of pot on Mount Chilliad. It wouldn't take long before Nick had hit his first million dollars in Los Santos until he lost it all the next day. Nick would also be dating Jada Humphreys until their break up in 2021 and would eventually be friends with a new girl named "Celia Fernandz" who would become one of the most influenced people of Los Santos and one of the richest.

Due to some issues abroad, Nick needed to leave Los Santos, until he came back during Spring 2020. Meeting once again his friends that remained in Los Santos. He would also start meeting John Madge and Haytam Roselli, both of them were in gangs. This has led Nick to join The Black Hands Triads, which he left a few days later to join the Outlaws Motorcycle club. He would then meet Midou B Naga (now known as Midou Baxley) and Omar M Naga (Omar Reis) who would be one of his allies later on. Omar had helped Nick concerning gang activities in general and brought him more into fightings in East Los Santos, especially Ocean Docks which Nick was called "a warrior" by Omar. Nick and Omar would also help out the new gang Yakuza Organization that has joined the alliance. He would sympathize with them and help them out occasionally. 2020 would also be a symbolic year for him as he bought his Phoenix that he still has to date.

End April 2020, the Outlaws Motorcycle club had been disbanded. Nick would be back a citizen until he had decided to join the SANews agency. During the live interview with Angel McCoy (Assistant director back then), he would've almost failed. Angel had given Nick a second chance in the interview which he had succeeded. The same evening, his first article was ready. It had marked the beginning of Nick's career in SANews. Joining almost at the same time as Brad Ringer (the key person for Ganja Gwaan) and getting in touch with the McCoys, he would settle down and get to work every day. 4 days later, making his third article "former FBI kidnaps an LSFMD medic" (which is the most viewed article to date), he would be granted, Senior Reporter. The next week, he would become the R&A (relations and affairs)assistant director and newscaster (R3 at the time). He would continue his tasks as a journalist and IA member until he ended up with a Supervisory Reporter (R4 at the time) in begin September an MJ director for the first time.

Nick would eventually resign from the SANews agency in September and come back in November as a newscaster. Leaving the SANews back at the end of December. He decided to join his new friend, Sentinels. Becoming friends with some of the Pierces (except Francis as he had been criticized by Nick and still hates him to this day). He would remain in Sentinels for three months until moving to Yakuza due to the Sentinels Casino being almost empty. He met up with Hailey Crooks, which he knew already thanks to the dice casino. Hailey Crooks wanted Nick in her new gang Arte De Muerte (now Vatos Locos) and had decided to step in. Nick would leave Los Santos once again and join back in July 2021.

SAnews had gone in the hands of Shawn McCoy that has "destroyed" the faction and given it to Avery McCoy where nothing changed. Nick joined back under Avery McCoy and had been granted MJ director. He would meet up with Mark Pope and Estelle McCoy (Which Nick would later marry). Mark Pope had joined before Nick left, teaching him a bit and giving support to his first articles. Mark would eventually leave and help Brad Ringer with the start of Ganja Gwaan. Nick Mahone would later be kicked out unfairly out of SANews.

Brad had recruited Nick in Ganja Gwaan, he would meet up with former members of SANews like Brad Ringer, Antonio Vincenzo, and Mark Pope. He would also meet Panos Turtle, which before that hadn't been a nice friendship. He would also meet Kurt Cobain Gonnsen, a rasta and weed lord which would learn Nick the tricks of growing weed. After Ganja got accepted, Nick was a key player in capturing territories ((due to low ping)). He would be great friends with Il Segreto Siciliano and some of Junkyard Junkies (before its removal). In the end, Ganja Gwaan would be merged with Front Yard Ballas, putting an end to Ganja's reign. Nick would immediately leave the ballas as he didn't like it and join back SANews under Steven Sage in November 2021, which had reformed SANews completely. Nick had been promoted to Rastafari (R6) after Ganja Gwaan had been merged.

Back in SANews for the 4th time, Nick was already trying out his job again. However, it turned out badly, especially with another member which he had beef with. Nick had been kicked out until they had asked him back in for his work. Back at the writing and working once again with Brad Ringer. Nick became the Media and Entertainment director. He would be once more a Supervisor Reporter that has become "Manager" (R4). However, it won't last long with another beef with someone that has left SANews a few days after the trouble. Nick had worked his way back up, especially with the arrival of Darrin Bowman (The last mayor of Los Santos in date), Michael Kingsman (who had become the assistant director of SANews), and Jimmy Mayers (former director of SANews). Re-making the SANewspaper (which later would be boycotted to his director until February 2022 where Nick would write the newspaper again normally), making other articles, and participating in broadcasting on the field. He would become the MJ director for the third time.

In December 2021, he had a new idea called "Beehive". A company made from the remaining marijuana from Ganja Gwaan and with some of their old allies. Funded by Masaharu Morimoto and with the big help of Duke Perley, they launched it publically. It had rapidly gone from producing and selling Marijuana to also selling crack. Beehive has slowly died, with only Nick trying to hold his company up.

In February 2022, Nick is still a SANews member. Achieving producer (R5 but without leadership), one of the most successful reporters. A record-breaking 24 articles to his name (24th of February 2022), many broadcasts, and much more paperwork on the internet. Nick is still the founder and director of Beehive which is still making profits. To this day, he has divorced Estelle McCoy right before she does a sex change to become Morgan Boswell. He has cured his dice betting addiction that he had at end of 2021 and living in Richman. Nick is still a fan of rarity and still owns his Phoenix that he takes care of.
