Background

A Thai/Hawaiian man (he/him) who left his parents back at The Exchange at Liberty City to try and make something better out of his life than to live in their shadows. He was always told that prestige and money were the most important things to focus on in life, so he grew up to be an entitled punk at 22. He expected everything to be given to him as long as he had the money for it and his parents raised him with a credit card that had no limit. Having such an attitude for life found himself with few friends and mostly users. Others simply grew apart from him, leaving him with very few people he could trust. During that point in his life, he found himself in Chinatown often, enjoying races around the city as well as cooking for himself. He figured that if he couldn't trust others, he could at least trust himself.

Being the man that he was, there was one person who was able to snap him out of his entitled life. He tried dating a girl named Chiaki for a few weeks and eventually got a savage beating after he tried one time too many to force her into his bedroom while at assorted parties. His last attempt finally earned him a flip and a beat down that left him with a concussion and him being in and out of consciousness.

As he was laid out on the cold concrete, all he could do was listen to her tell him all the ways he was an uncaring monster and that the only thing with a soul was his cooking. Treating people as if they were beneath him, trying to take advantage of others, and not taking no for an answer were the ones that stuck out while she beat his mistakes into him. By the time she was done, the police had arrived and Kai had decided to not press charges in his half conscious state. Once he woke up in his hospital bed, he thought long and hard about what she said to him as well as the snide comments that the nurses made when they realized his family name.

Shame entered into him as well as disdain towards his parents for raising him to be the kind of person that he was. He would spend the next eight years trying to make amends and no one would return his calls; except for Chiaki. She was the only one who was proud of him for trying to be a better person despite what he did to her. He had hoped for another attempt at a date, but she would turn him down as she settled down and had a child. He understood and felt it best to be out of her life. During this time, his parents would only send him money, but never bothered to check up on him. One day at breakfast all he could do was give a weak smile in his lavish apartment and accept that there was nothing left for him in Liberty City any more. He quietly shed tears to himself and then saw a commercial on the television for cheap airfare to Los Santos. Because of this, Kai packed up his few belongings that meant anything to him and made his way out to Los Santos to remake himself. All he knew was that cooking was the best thing people ever remembered of him and that he had a small speeding problem. He was hoping it would be enough and then left without saying a word.

## **His Time in Los Santos While Unemployed**

His first day would forever be etched in his memories. With some money to his name after getting dropped off at the job center from the airport, he found himself in disbelief of the city. He thought it'd be cleaner compared to Liberty, but it had been just as dirty, just in its own way. He had gotten help from Little Ducks on how to travel around the city, even getting some food before making his way out to explore. With no car, traveling on foot was tiring and Kai wasn't exactly the best of shape. Thankfully, someone at Little Ducks knew someone who was selling their motorcycle! It would cost him half the money that he had, but it beat walking any day!

He spent the day searching around for work while attempting to live off unemployment, but things like the cost of gas, food, and repairs were taking a toll on his wallet. Not used to working with his phone and still naive to the city, he went into a convenience store to check his dwindling balance. It was at that moment that he was held up and thankfully was able to talk his way out of giving what was left of his money. Somehow, the thief took pity on him and gave him a couple of sodas before Kai booked it out of there. It was a bittersweet moment.

His first night was somehow rougher as he couldn't find any hotels and even if he could, had doubts that he could afford it anyway. Somehow he felt more alone than when he was back in Liberty City while resting on the streets and using his bike motor to help him keep warm. He then saw that there was a casino and figured he could try his luck there and enjoy being indoors at least. He spent days trying his luck, but was taught that you should never gamble with what you can't afford to lose.

The casino lifestyle had plenty of ups and downs. He had made enough to afford a hotel, but unfortunately that's all he could afford. A proper meal was hard to come by and he found himself having to dumpster dive for something to eat while waiting for unemployment to come save him. He had learned that the water helped, though was likely laced with something and that discarded bread was one of the foulest things he's ever eaten, but at least he wasn't starving anymore.

## Finally Getting Work After Hitting Rock Bottom

Kai finding himself incredibly stressed, with his situation, he saw a post on twitter that The Yellow Jack (a bar) was open up north. He had saved up some of his meager checks, gassed up his bike, and made his way out. He was hoping the fresh air and potential company would be a welcome way to change his luck. Thankfully, he wasn't wrong.

When he arrived, he had found some kindness from the owner Logan and one of the patrons named Dirk. He did his best to play off that he wasn't as poor as he probably looked. His upbringing made him feel a little shame for taking charity when Dirk offered to pay for his meal of wings and a beer. He declined and paid for himself. As they chatted while Kai tried his best to not inhale his food, they suggested jobs for Kai, and the one that sounded best was to become a cabbie! Logan reached out to Teddy and Kai gave a hearty thanks to everyone there before booking it out to the taxi company and broke every speed limit that he could.

He had somehow impressed Teddy enough to give him a job and access to his fleet of cabs to use for work while meeting other employees that night. Over the course of the next couple of weeks, he relentlessly drove locals to where ever they wanted to go while helping out other travelers into the city. He felt his luck finally change.

Somehow, he was lucky enough to also see that Dragon's Rest was hiring and spoke to Yang about a position. He needed a cook and proof that Kai could stay professional when working. He proved that he could with his talents in the kitchen and by not having any anger towards Yang after being tested with a sudden punch to the face!

Kai now had two jobs and the desire to hustle to make that money!
