Ruckus Thompson

**Ruckus Thompson** is a character role-played by Ruckcie. He is the former Secondary Enforcer of the Lost MC, and currently one of the three founders of the Midnight Raiders street crew.

## General Info

Ruckus Thompson was born on October 22nd, 1997 in Broker, Liberty City to Melissa and John Thompson. His mother was a part-time employee of a local internet cafe, and his father was a member of the Angels of Death Motorcycle Club.

#### A Criminal Made, Not Born

In 2002, Ruckus found his father shot to death outside of their apartment in the Firefly Projects. This one single incident would lead Ruckus to earn a nickname for himself in the criminal underworld, that he would later personalize to match his familial history. That nickname was "the Spirit of Vengeance" or as he named himself, "Onryō."

As the young man continued to grow older, seeing the amount of work it took his mother to put food on the table, he resorted to brushing elbows with the local gang wildlife, building a rapport with both primary local Motorcycle Clubs (the Lost MC and the Angels of Death) as well as some smaller operations in the area. These relationships led to Ruckus beginning to deal drugs and pull small time robbery jobs by the time he was 12 years old.

#### Onryō

On September 19th, 2015, three men walked into a bank on the Lower East Side of Liberty City wearing masks, and carrying high caliber assault rifles. Two men rushed the counter, while the third, much smaller man, remained on door duty. After grabbing the money from the registers, the two men at the counter turned around to realize that the man by the door was gone, leaving only his weapon by the door, with a chain across the outside. The two men left in the bank were later discovered to be patched members of the Angels of Death, Marco "Dr. Freeze" Lampriotti, and Wilson "Domepiece" McCullough, the two prime suspects in the murder of John Thompson.

Ruckus had gotten his revenge after connecting the dots that neither man had a viable alibi for the night his father died, however he burned his own reputation in the process.

#### The Run

After attempting to salvage the charred remains of his reputation as a driver and robber, Ruckus heard that there was a price put out by the Angels of Death due to his betrayal. Thinking quickly, he hopped in the car that he had stolen from the Angels after the robbery-gone-wrong, and drove west.

He would continue jumping from town to town for the next 8 years, eventually winding up in San Andreas, tired of running and bored of the road. He chose San Andreas as his final stop, due to it always being portrayed as "the land of opportunity."

#### New Beginnings

His first day in the city, Ruckus met a few members of the Lost MC, quickly showing them that he was serious about the life, earning himself a prospect kutte quickly.

Having spent some time on the road, driving was second nature to him at that point, and he was immediately accepted as the de facto driver for any Lost MC job that he was down to join. He would go on to accept this role for a few jobs for the Lost, before stepping away from heists for "personal reasons."

After having a conversation with the President and Vice President about his former affiliations, Ruckus was patched into the club, and began getting down to business. Store jobs and drug dealing are his primary interests, however he's begun to show more and more of an interest in firearms.

As of recently Ruckus is now the secondary Enforcer of the Lost MC, having a significant talent for understanding tense situations, as well as a natural affinity towards physical violence. Ruckus has been heard stating that he is not "an actual psycho," but more so that he is a "reasonable maniac."

#### The Raiders

After leaving the Lost, and watching as the club he left behind crumbled, Ruckus reached out to two friends inside the club, the Tail-Gunner, Cole, and a Patched Member named Darius. Cole and Ruckus had run some jobs together, and Darius was a close friend in the club altogether. Ruckus proposed to the two that they "go their own way, form their own connections, and not rely on anybody else to step in unless desperately needed." After discussing some of the formalities of beginning their own group, the three all focused in on gathering some money, so that when the Lost finally fell apart, they would have a smooth transition.

The day the Lost fell was a momentous one for Ruckus. Almost immediately, he became a leader of a small group, began to shoulder the weight of "gangland politics," and attempted to zone in on possible contacts to assist him in his transition to a group leader. For a while, the group did not have a name, but when Ruckus realized that most jobs he worked on were at night, he suggested the name "Midnight Raiders," a crew in his words would become "not a gang, not a club, not a massive organization, just a group of people who enjoy fast cars, fast bikes, and the occasional armed robbery." As everything sank in, Ruckus realized he has no home, no major backing, and not many connections, remarking "we're small fish in an absolutely massive pond."

In this time period, while planning the future of the group, Cole made a joke in reference to both the design of Ruckus's helmet, as well as his unfortunately chosen face tattoo, both being an Ace of Spades. Surprisingly, the name stuck, and since that joke was made, Ruckus has chosen to use the nickname Ace, a nickname given to him out of friendship, over Onryo, one given out of fear. He has gone as far as making his Shinobi's License Plate "ONRYO" as "that name should probably stay behind me."
