Charlie Knox

**Charlie Knox** is a character role-played by TheImmortalKoala.

## Backstory

Charlie was born and raised in a small town where nothing ever happened. Her parents were always busy and left her home alone all time, the 90s were a different time.  As she got older staying home wouldn't cut it, and she would sneak out of the house and explore the town. Eventually exploring got boring as well and Charlie started doing petty crimes, shoplifting, selling weed for the local drug dealer, joyriding. When Charlie was about ten, out of boredom she decided to break into a trailer at the local trailer park. She was hungry and could smell fresh apple pie. Around the back of the trailer she found a window cracked open, Charlie tried to scramble up and get in the window the best she could but she was just a bit too short. At this point she heard a small voice behind her, “What are you doing?” Charlie turned to see a girl roughly her age watching her from the window of the trailer next door.  She snapped at the girl to “Mind her own business.” and went back to trying to get in the window. The next thing she knew the strange girl was standing next to her offering her a boost. She looked at the girl, shrugged and accepted the boost into the window of the trailer. As quietly as possible Charlie snuck through the trailer and into the kitchen, and there on the counter was a fresh pie cooling off. Charlie grabbed the pie and started making her way back the way she came when she heard the trailer door opening. She ran as screams of the person she was robbing from followed her. She got to the window and saw the strange girl still standing there looking up at her. Charlie smiled and handed the girl the pie before scrambling out the window. She turned to the girl and screamed run as she took off towards the woods, the girl following close behind, both followed by shouts “Not again you little shit.” The girls ran into the woods and once they knew they were safe Charlie turned and said to the girl, “I’m Charlie.” the strange little girl introduced herself as Ceecee, and that was the start of the most wonderful friendship as the girls laughed and dig into the pie.  It’s hard to say which of the girls is a worse influence than the other but you can bet when they are together they are scheming something. By the time Charlie started high school, her and Ceecee were experts in the little things. Ceecee had even been teaching herself how to hack. It was around this time she met a boy named Trevor Knox, he was a bad boy, rode a motorcycle, and didn't care what anyone else thought. The three of them always got into trouble and slowly but surely they added to the group, Ceecee’s boyfriend Mike, a boy named Ryan who had a knack for hacking. Together the group was always up to no good. Charlie and Trevor decided to tie the knot shortly after high school. When you know you know and they knew they were meant for each other. For years they ran scams, and for years they mostly ran under the radar. Until one day Charlie got ahead of herself she tried to con the wrong old lady out of her savings and went to jail. Her group split and went into hiding. Ceecee and Mike started traveling. Ryan went underground. Trevor stuck around for a bit but knowing he couldn’t help Charlie, he decided to turn his life around. The last Charlie heard he was in Europe running security for some rich businessman or another.

## Life in Los Santos

After getting out of jail Charlie made her way to Los Santos. Hearing that her husband was making something of himself she decided not to tell him where she was going. She would just bring him back down.  Life in Los Santos was lonely so Charlie reached out to an old friend LJ Tucker. LJ took Charlie in and started showing her the ropes. How to rob warehouses, atms, 24/7s. Things were going great. Charlie became a Hangaround in LJ’s gang Below Zero, helped them out on a couple jobs. She also had a brief introduction to the underground racing scene in Los Santos, when LJ took her racing. Charlie was happy she had friends again, although she missed her husband, Ceecee, Mike, and Ryan. They were her family and she missed them immensely. On the off chance she sent a text to Ceecee, who immediately said she missed her as well and would make her way to Los Santos. She also asked Charlie if she had heard from Trevor. Charlie said she didn’t want to mess up a good thing and had yet to reached out to him. Ceecee told Charlie she might not have the option. Trevor knew she was in Los Santos and had come to look for her. Charlie did what she could to stay out of Trevor’s life, she stayed away from BZ so she would be harder to find. But she missed him, she found out he had gotten a job as a tow driver in Sandy. She told herself she just needed to see him and she would be ok. She followed him around as he was working, he looked good, he looked happy. Just as she was about to go her own way, contempt with the fact that he was doing ok, he saw her, she tried to walk away, she prayed he hadn’t seen her. But behind her she heard his familiar “hi baby!” Holding back tears she turned around. As her husband took her into his arms she made a promise to herself, she would never be away from him again no matter what. The couple spent the rest of the day catching up there was so much to talk about. Charlie rode as a passenger in the tow truck as Trevor filled her in with all the details of his life as a security guard for the elite. Things start to come back together, she had her husband back. Ryan sends her a text that he has arrived in town. Together the two of them start getting up to no good robbing some warehouses, hitting atms, and then a string of bad luck ended her up back in jail.  People keep saying crime pays, but her husband is doing amazing keeping clean, and she is starting to have conflicting feelings. One evening she reached back out to LJ, she told her she misses her, and vented about how things have been going. LJ tells her to come hang out at Cluckin Bell. Charlie went to hang out with her old friend and spent some time hanging out before LJ stopped and asked Charlie if she wanted a job. Charlie jumped at the opportunity to have a good paying job and immediately said yes. The next few days we’re going amazing. Charlie spent her time decorating hers and Trevor’s new home. Driving around in her husband's passenger seat enjoying just being around him again. One day while driving around a bleet pops up on Charlie’s phone. Her friend LJ has died. Completely in shock she tells Trevor, it can’t be true she just saw LJ a couple days ago. How could her friend be gone. She jumped on her bike and rushed to the hospital. To say her goodbyes to the friend who helped her so much. LJ layed there in the bed as she walked in the room, almost like she was just sleeping. She told LJ she couldn’t leave her. Charlie stood by her bed not knowing what to do, “I’m going to miss you so much.” She said, “goodbye my friend.” Completely heartbroken, one of her best friends is gone in the blink of an eye. Is this life worth it? Could she go clean? Her husband is so happy.
