## Backstory

Austin Miyat was born in Liberty City on July 25th, 1999. His parents were an odd couple and often spent a lot of time out on the streets. His father, Taiyo Miyat, was a Japanese street racer who drove exclusively an old classic Dinka Jester. that moved to Liberty City after getting into trouble with the local gangs, fleeing to America to start a new life. This is where Taiyo met Austin's mother, a women named Alyssa Tempero. She was a Liberty City native with a personal love for Bikes. Her favorite? A matte indigo Dinka Thrust. The two met originally at The 69th Street Diner in Liberty City. Their meeting was brief but the two struck up a quick conversation. Afterwards, Taiyo participated in a race, winning the prize money and meeting Alyssa by the end afterwards. The two continued their conversation from earlier and hit it off, getting together and eventually they got married and had Austin.

Austin resembled his mother in many ways, but the only things he took off his fathers side was his black hair, eye color, and most importantly his love for cars and street racing. Austin and his father actually made his first car, something that took a lot of time and money for them to put together. The car they crafted together was a retro Annis Elegy. While the vehicle was nothing special to Taiyo, Austin fell in love with it, marking it as his all time favorite vehicle, along with one other he would eventually stumble upon. This also coincided with Austin's sixteenth birthday, the day he was able to get his learners permit to drive. Naturally this is the car that the two took onto the road to learn. Six months later, the day after getting his license, Austin Miyat entered his first race in Liberty City. He lost, by a landslide. The leader of the race and overall winner, was an individual driving a matte white retro Pfister Comet. This lit a fire under Austin, a fire to win and street race. He had a fire lit under him to win races. He began to enter every race he could; however, the racer in white was ahead of him at every turn until one fateful day. Austin had been practicing his technique in hills just outside the city, learning how to properly take corners and even learned how to drift slightly. He took this knowledge into the streets, where he faced off against someone who had became his clear rival in the city, the driver of the Retro Comet. He took the knowledge he had of his car and used it to take a decisive corner that allowed him to secure the victory of that race, and that changed everything. As time continued Austin became even better at driving and eventually began to win in his retro Elegy more consistently than ever before.

He kept to strictly races through age eighteen, picking up a classic Karin Sultan in order to cruise the streets during the day while keeping his Elegy in secret for usage during races. He started consistently winning races, increasing his popularity, and this ended up getting him into a mess of different types of problems. This involves drugs and alcohol at eighteen. He was running smuggling jobs for a large assortment of people, people with power. This did not bode well for the young and dumb Austin, who thought his speed and technique would keep him out of trouble with everyone that ever came near him. This escalated quickly and even got him in trouble with some of the cops of Liberty City. The reason for this is due to a spree of robbery's that took place. However, this spree of robberies was not for any old reason. His mother, Alyssa, had just been diagnosed with cancer. Austin would do anything possible to pay for the necessary treatments as he began to take jobs as a getaway driver, he never got caught once and racked in over a hundred thousand dollars just to his name alone, donating it all to help his family. He got into trouble with even one of the gangs, prompting him to get his hands on a revolver. It came to the point where he had to move. His name was getting too much heat and would eventually come back to bite him and his family in the butt if he didn't do anything about it. He eventually bid his parents goodbye, and wished them luck in being safe in Liberty City before moving to Tokyo, Japan at nineteen, where he would come across his second true love in his life.

Moving to Tokyo was a fierce and selfish maneuver for Austin. He arrived with enough money for a car, which he purchased. The car was a modern version of his classic Sultan. He would spend his time learning the ins and outs of the car as he slowly transformed the vehicle into the second car of his dreams, the Sultan RS. He took to the streets in this car, becoming famous in the underground street racing scene with his matte Red and Black color scheme that left everyone behind him in the dust. Austin spent two years in Japan, even gaining a disciple. He taught them everything he knew, even though he was just a few years older. Austin left Tokyo for two reasons, he wasn't making enough money legally, and couldn't help his family on top of not being the best at Japanese lead to more than just a few misunderstandings. From there he decided to move again, to somewhere back in the United States.

Austin moved to San Fierro jobless. He was an aimless wanderer as all he knew was street racing at the time. As he lived his life, he had a set amount of money from his parents to get himself a place and have an apartment and get setup. From there, he wandered from job to job and ended up at a mechanic shop one day. From there he learned how to work on cars made in other places than Japan and their sport cars. The mechanic shop had eventually became a staple of Austin's early adult life. He became great at his work too, he learned even more about cars and how they operate. Austin got a little back into street racing as well once his Elegy arrived from Liberty City. He would spend his nights racing, but keeping out of what kept him in trouble in Liberty City. He spent three years in San Fierro before learning of a mechanic job opening in Los Santos. From there he left San Fierro after a year of racing and being a mechanic, leading to his new life in Los Santos.
