**Augusta "Gus" Carlin** is a character role-played by netsirk.

## General Description

Augusta, or Gus as she prefers to be called, is a university student and sports enthusiast trying to make her way in Los Santos. She plays first base for her softball team, but due to a rotator cuff injury she frequently finds herself benched.

On July 20th 2022, Gus was struck by a car and broke her shoulder. She spent 3 weeks in the ICU and was prescribed Percocet and long-term physical therapy. Due to the severity of her injuries she was told she could never play softball again without intense physical therapy.

## Physical Description

Gus is an average young adult with a relatively plain appearance. She tends to dress like a tomboy and frequently wears boyish, or otherwise oversized clothing - notably sports memorabilia such as branded tees and jerseys.

She is 5'7, weighs 148 pounds, has short brown hair, and is Caucasian with slight tan from practicing softball in the sun.

After getting a job at **Otto's Autos**, she severely damaged her vision by welding without a mask and now wears thick-rimmed glasses to help her see. After she began wearing glasses she also admitted to staring at the sun recreationally because she thinks it's pretty.

She briefly grew her hair out and wore it in a ponytail after having spent several months focusing on getting out of academic probation.

## Personality

Despite having a reputation as being a friendly and good natured person, Gus is brash and quick tempered. Because of her time playing team sports she's also developed a competitive attitude and frequently tries to one-up friends and strangers over trivial tasks and achievements. This has lead to her regularly becoming irate when people flaunt their success around her.

She's also relatively dim-witted; frequently citing misinformation as facts in debates and is prone to believing conspiracy theories. Some of her gaffes and errant thoughts dip into the dumb jock stereotype - or worse. Despite being a former financial advisor she also has displayed a stark misunderstanding of how student loans work and believes she isn't obligated to pay them off.

## Work History

### **Rooster's Rest**

* Petunia's Wedding
* A Change in Management
* The Block Trial

In early 2021, Gus picked up a job at **Rooster's Rest** after a chance encounter with **Roland Nelson's** taxi service. **Roland** quizzed Gus on where she wanted to go and she spiraled into a babbling rant about how she wasn't sure what she wanted to do with her life, having been benched on her softball team due to a recent rotator cuff injury. **Roland** then took her to **Rooster's Rest** to have an interview with his friends in management. During this period Gus would go on to form close friendships with **Petunia Brookshire**, **Dewey Hawthorne**, **Penelope Farthing**, **Irma Gawd**, **Dreah Johnson**, several of **the Nerds**, and would be frequently bullied by **Mr. Buddha**.
A few weeks after she started working at the company, **Dewey** invited Gus to be a groomswoman for his wedding with **Petunia**. After agreeing to be **Dewey's** groomswoman, she went to **Kiki's Organic Clothing** where she ran into **Lenny Hawk**. **Lenny** then offered Gus his help in assembling a suit for the wedding and aided her in matching her suit jacket with a pair of jeans and a snapback baseball cap, proclaiming, "Now you look like Jacksonville's finest, Fred Durst!"

The following day **Petunia** and **Dewey** held their ceremony at **Rooster's Rest** and the reception at Mirror Park. Unfortunately, the reception was cut short as **Dewey** fell into the helicopter blades on his ride there and nearly bleed to death due to his hemophilia.
Months later, after a falling out between **Petunia** and **Mr. Buddha** that lead to the former being fired, Gus found herself in an awkward position when **Penny** was promoted to CEO of **Rooster's Rest**. The tension between Gus and **Penny** would eventually subside, but Gus' general awkwardness during this period lead to **Penny** branding her as "sus", a label she'd begin to trot out whenever Gus started acting weird.
During a fateful dead shift, Gus found herself being kidnapped by **Mike** and **Ro Block** from the **Rooster's Rest** property. While being held captive, Gus was forced to fill a Rooster's soup bowl with sewer water from the LS River while being filmed and later give it to Officer **Sam Baas** without telling him about the contaminated water. After giving **Baas** the bowl and watching him eat it, they tweeted the video and left the scene. Before letting Gus go, the **Blocks** forced her to drive their stolen truck into a gas pump while she was at gun-point.

### **Superior Financial**

* Friendship with Charlie
* The Search for Investors
* Kirk's RV
* Feud with Fast Loans

Following Gus' brush with being fired, she decided that she needed to branch out as other Rooster's employees were beginning to act openly hostile towards her after what happened at the Block trial. She began asking for leads while serving customers at the restaurant and was eventually made aware of **Charlie McNamara's** new loan venture. After touching base with **Charlie** she agreed to join the company when she found out it was being bankrolled by **Nino Chavez**.
Due to **Superior Financial** being a private equity firm, it's early investments were mostly being funded by employees and other small business owners. This lead to Gus spending time getting acquainted with **Charlie** on hunting trips while they raised funds for the loans.
Over a period of several months, Gus and **Charlie** made hundreds of new business contacts while giving loans and scouting for new investors. Despite their successful networking, growth ended up being slow as they had to rely on loan repayments due to a drought in capital as many of the high rollers in the city had recently purchased property, vehicles, or started businesses of their own.

Gus eventually made some headway by asking members of **The Guild** and the **Cleanbois** if they were interested in the long term returns of investing; though, it ultimately wasn't enough to keep pace with the number of people requesting loans.
Eventually Gus became acquainted with **Kirk Jerkems**, as he was looking for a loan to buy an RV from PDM to race and cook meth in. Gus was worried about **Kirk's** ability to pay for the loan, but he assured her that he could do it by doing odd jobs delivering packages in alleyways. Concerned for **Kirk's** safety, Gus began asking her acquaintances about this "job" and one of them ended up explaining how to sell oxy.
This lead to Gus doing a solo oxy run on her own just to make sure it was safe, but halfway through selling the goods she called **Kirk** and he admitted that he knew what it was, and that he was being coy with her because he thought she wouldn't be his friend if she knew he was a drug dealer.
After clearing the air, Gus agreed to go on an oxy run with him but it was an ill-fated experience as a naked hobo attempted to rob them at knifepoint before they chased him away with a car. Later, they weren't as lucky when **NBC** ambushed and robbed them at a different location.

The ordeal stressed Gus to the point that she swore off selling oxy, but remained friends with **Kirk**.
