Logan Stone

Logan's First Day

Logan is portrayed by FutharkGhost/Tony2Skullz

## Overview

Logan Stone is a rough-and-tumble Southerner from the rural south of the United States. He's a progressive soul that comes from an intolerant family, which was a minor catalyst for his desire to relocate. Logan is always prepared to meet anyone with basic respect. He is a helpful person, who will quickly become defensive or even vengeful should someone he looks out for come to disrespect or harm anyone Logan considers a friend. Logan embodies the saying "speak softly and carry a big stick."

## Life before San Andreas

Logan Stone was born on Halloween in 1991 to old-blood moonshiners Tobias Stone and Geraldine Highcroft in the Appalachian mountains. It is unknown where exactly in these mountains he was born, and his parents were nomadic throughout his whole life, moving both their living places and shine stills when legal or competitive heat necessitated it. Logan's parents took minimal care of him, as his conception was an accidental result based on decisions made under the influence of moonshine. In their eyes, he was another body for the business, but would use his innate sense of loyalty against him when it benefited them.

Logan is unfamiliar with family outside of his parents, however he will call people who earn a place in his closest circle “brother/sister”. Logan educated himself, as his parents embodied the stereotype of a “redneck upbringing”, refusing to enroll him in school and considered higher reading/math skills to be unnecessary, as it didn’t have an impact on the moonshine business. Logan spent spare time teaching himself to read and reading fantasy and sci-fi books, eventually developing a love for comics.

In this day and age, while it is still an illegal market, moonshine is a failing trade. Logan’s family refused to let go of their history and insisted on making their “job” work. Because of this, Logan grew up with literally no money. He and his family frequently ate small animals that they could catch in traps, and would even eat roadkill if it came to it. They had a hunting rifle once, Tobias took it to kill a rival but was arrested for driving under the influence on the way and the rifle was seized by law enforcement.

Logan eventually started to venture further out of the mountains and into foothills as he got older. It was there he met and fell in love with a girl involved with an MC named Naomi. She convinced him that he could have a better life with the club, and that his family would always hold him down, as they always had. Logan was unaware that his father had caught onto his venturings and followed him into the hills one night. It was there that Tobias discovered Logan’s lover, and overheard one of the conversations in which she was trying to persuade him to leave his family. Furious that anyone would try to steal his son from his mountains, let alone his prize employee, he plotted to kill Naomi to teach his son a lesson; do not betray your father. He continued to follow Logan each time he went to the hills until one night he finally isolated Naomi away from Logan and her friends in the MC, grabbed her from the shadows and dragged her by the neck until she passed out, putting her in the back of his truck. This was the last Naomi was seen alive.

After noticing her absence, Logan searched everywhere for her. Eventually, he saw his father’s truck through the trees on a dirt driving path Logan had shown Naomi a handful of times, a path Logan had used to run moonshine, and had only recently told his family about. He went to check it, only to find blood pooled in the bed of the truck, which looked as if something had been dragged through it, continuing onto the ground behind the truck and through the trees. He knew this path, it led to an abandoned hunting cabin where Logan himself stashed spare clothes, scraps of food and extra ‘shine for use or sale. He opened the door to find Naomi’s body, she did not go quickly nor without pain.

Tobias had been waiting for Logan, followed shortly by Geraldine, sporting the signs of abuse that told Logan she had stood up for him at first, but was persuaded by Tobias in his usual manner to turn against Logan. Tobias held a gun to Logan's chest and told him that there was only one price that could repay betraying your family; death.

As the words came from Tobias' mouth, the rumble of motorcycles echoed through the trees outside. The MC had also been looking for Naomi, and it seems they had come to the end of the trail. They barreled into the cabin, guns drawn. Tobias turned his gun and fired on them, winging one in the arm but causing no more harm than that, escaping through a window. The club members took Logan to his knees, prepared to execute him as they believed he had played a part in Naomi's torture and killing. Logan was allowed to plead his case, and through tears and sobs explained what had happened. The MC showed him mercy, and even pitied his situation, but ultimately told him that he needed to disappear. The club would not protect him from his family, as although he did not harm her, her association with Logan is what resulted in her demise. Logan knew that his time in the mountains were over, he had to search for his own place in the world.

Logan was able to leave a message of sorts for his father before leaving the Appalachians, one that could not be misconstrued or miscommunicated, one that was loud and clear.

"When next we meet, it's your life or mine".

In the end, Naomi got what she wanted. If only she were here to see it...

## Beginning The City Life

Logan wandered across the country for several months before finally ending up on a flight to Los Santos arranged by a contact he had made in New Orleans. his flight landed in the city on July 30th, 2021.

Logan's first day in the city began relatively calmly. He flagged down a man riding on a motorcycle to ask where he could get his beginnings and was directed toward The Vanilla Unicorn, a strip club around the corner. Logan arrived, floated around for a little while and left without much communication or fuss. He was informed by a patron at the strip club that perhaps the Little Duck Touring Company could help him find his feet. He decided to check it out, and was directed towards several businesses where he might be able to find some work. He started at Tequila Tony's where he met Mike Jones. After a short interview process, he was hired as a bouncer. He stayed for a shift during a karaoke event where nothing troublesome of note happened. This remains to be the only shift Logan has worked at Tequila Tony's, despite attempts otherwise.

Logan then wandered off through the city in search of something interesting to do. He boosted a local citizen's car (something he very much is not unfamiliar with doing) and drove through town. Eventually becoming bored and quite hungry, he began to joy ride around town looking for something to eat when he T-boned a police cruiser. He knew he was in the wrong and exited the vehicle with his hands up, explaining the situation to the lady cop who came out to address him, and much to his surprise, gave him food and let him off with a warning. Logan was very grateful and was sure to remember this lady cops face, as he had forgotten to get her name.

Logan continued through the city looking for something to do, acquiring his firearm and hunting licenses before eventually falling back into his boredom and began joy riding again. This time he was pulled over and arrested by Officer Cecil Jones. The officer was kind to him even though he did arrest Logan, and Logan was compliant as he again knew he was in the wrong and caught red-handed. After a short and pleasant conversation and ride to MRPD, Logan was booked and let go on time served. Cecil was even kind enough to lower one of his charges so as not to acquire a felony on his first day in the city. Logan eventually wound up at a party that was being thrown until city curfew, where he socialized somewhat and was teasingly antagonized by some patrons for wearing the same red flannel as one of their friends. In this group was also the gentleman on the motorcycle Logan had flagged down upon first entering into the city. Logan fell asleep at this party.

The next day, Logan woke hungover in a bush and saw an ad on Twitter for the Yellow Jack Inn and decided to head up into Blaine County and have a look. When he arrived, he met a surly and reserved woman named Queen. As it so happened, Queen was the owner of the Yellow Jack, so Logan asked if there was any chance she was hiring. She hired him as security (although the quiet bar didn't seem as if it was in need of it), though she seemed reluctant at first. The conversation was near - nonexistent, but Logan did learn that Queen had a seeming hatred for city folks and that she intended to establish an MC of her own in San Andreas. This got cogs turning in Logan's head...

They stood in silence for the next while until the bar closed. Logan headed back towards the city. He happened back towards Little Duck and saw some people standing in the parking lot next door, one gentleman was wearing the same stylish red flannel that Logan was, so Logan liked him already. Logan approached with the intent of also asking if these gentlemen could offer him a job. The man in the red flannel seemed very suspicious of Logan at first, but informed him that he was a manager for the Downtown Cab Co. and if Logan wanted a job he would need to apply through the proper channels. Logan left and applied for the taxi job and was promptly called to return and meet with the man in the other red flannel again. This man was none other than the apparently-famous Teddy, who explained his initial suspicion of Logan was a misunderstanding. He thought Logan was someone who knew who Teddy was, and was dressed like him to make fun of him. The other employees at Cab Co quickly caught on to Logan and Teddy's matching ensemble and started calling Logan Teddy's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandson (the number of "greats" would increase each time this was said).

Logan was shown the ropes for the taxi company, and spent most of the rest of the day driving a cab and making what money he could. In his travels he ended up at Mirror Park Tavern where he was waited on by Willowa. Logan described that he is terrible with names but he would remember Willowa's because it was unique, and Willowa echoed that she, too, is terrible with names and that she would try her best to remember Logan's name. Logan then decided that he would make it an unspoken running joke that he would give Willowa money each time she correctly remembered his full name.

Logan continued taking fares in his cab until he grew bored of the mundane routes the local citizens would ask him to take and noticed a stranger on Twitter was asking people to go out for drinks for his birthday. Logan decided that he wanted to socialize with someone in the city outside of a work environment and took the gentleman up on his offer. This man would turn out to be Westly Rhodes. Logan rode with Wes for a bit before ending up back at Mirror Park Tavern for some drinks, where they met Pepe Mute. While they were there, Wes bumped into a friend, who again turned out to be the man on the motorcycle who Logan met in his first few minutes in town. This time the man finally introduced himself as Hideki Kamiyama. Logan rode with Wes, Pepe and Hideki while Wes described that he intended to throw a small lot party in the parking lot of the car dealership known as PDM, which he apparently owned and Hideki managed. In this time, they got a call from a friend of theirs at Little Duck Touring Company that one of their friends had been kidnapped by a known serial killer. This news secretly excited Logan, as he felt that his life had became too mundane and safe since leaving the mountains.

They arrived at Little Duck to see a blonde haired woman in distress in the corner. Apparently this woman was very close to the kidnapped individual known as Party Monkey and was very concerned with his safe return, as it seems that the person who took the Party Monkey was intent on taking the blonde haired woman instead. Logan learned through eavesdropping that this woman's name was Goldie.

Hideki warned Logan that he should stay at Little Duck, and Logan insisted that he accompany them as he could handle himself, and he was as good-natured as he put on. After some convincing, Hideki told Logan to change clothes and have his gun ready in case there was trouble. Hideki, Westly, Logan, and a fourth individual, a stranger to Logan named Donny Morgan left LDTC to search for the Party Monkey. Based on the photo the kidnapper was using to brag on Twitter, Hideki deduced that they were likely at the scrapyards in the middle off the city. They headed there and scouted around several rooftops. They only saw a car with an open trunk before the police arrived. The group decided to leave the scene so that the cops wouldn't see them and believe that they were involved in the Party Monkey's kidnapping. As they were leaving, Wes received a text that the Party Monkey had been found safe, and the crisis was now over.

The group returned to LDTC where Donny elected to stay with Goldie, and Logan, Wes and Hideki finally made their way to PDM to start Wes' birthday lot party. On the way, Logan told Wes and Hideki about how he was taking any job he could to make some money since arriving in the city, and Wes decided to hire him as security. As a show of good faith (or perhaps out of birthday-booze-fueled generosity) Wes bought Logan his first ride in the city, a Zombie Bobber. Logan wanted a motorcycle, it reminded him of Naomi, though this detail is one he would not share with the group.

Wes hired a DJ and got a few of his friends in on the party and before they knew it, what they had planned to be a small lot party had turned into a gathering the likes of which the majority of the city had turned up for.

At this party, the police woman who had so kindly chosen not to arrest Logan had shown up. Logan approached her and asked her name, so as to thank her directly for her kindness, revealing herself to be Rory Winters. Logan thanked her again and swore to find a way to repay that kindness someday. Both out of gratitude, and because Logan hates the feeling of being indebted to someone.

The party went on for a couple hours, and as it wound down, Logan decided to find somewhere quiet to hide out and sleep. He had heard of a small town in the north of Blaine County called Paleto Bay and decided to make his way there. He found himself an alcove behind a gas station and went to sleep, no stranger to making due with what he was provided.

Logan's third day was quiet. Not many events of note happened. He decided to try his luck at the casino at first, where he met Goldie again. They conversed for a while and exchanged numbers while Logan slowly lost most of his money to the suspect Blackjack dealer. On his way out, he ran into a well-dressed gentleman, whom he decided to air his grievances to. AS it turned out, this gentleman was none other than Freddy West, co-owner of the Diamond Casino. Logan was sure to remember his face, so as not to make this foolish mistake again. Mr. West seemed to take it in stride, but Logan felt that it was still inappropriate to speak badly of the dealers to the establishment's owner.

Logan left the casino and took several fares for the taxi company, occasionally stopping by the Mirror Park Tavern for food and drink. He ran into Willowa again, who was able to remember his full name, so he gave her $500 to her surprise. She also told him that they were celebrating one of her co-workers birthdays that day, and Logan mentioned he may stop by and say hello.

Logan did stop by PDM to see if they needed help, where the head of security, Dodie Lycan asked that he stay and stand security for an hour. Logan took a break from the taxi company to do this for her after changing into appropriate security attire.

Logan took several more fares throughout the day, as well as attempting to make contact with a handful of people to perhaps put to use his more unsavory skill set for quicker money. While he waited to hear back about this business venture, he continued about his day, eventually circling back to Mirror Park Tavern for some food where he ran into the previously mentioned birthday girl, Skye. He checked to make sure she was the correct person and gifted her $1000, leaving before she could say anything about it. This proved to be pointless, as he circled back shortly after and sat at the bar top to kill time and meet some new people.

While he was there, he met Haven and Anna-Mae whom he became fast friends with. The trio spent the next little while laughing and being a nuisance to Skye while she was trying to work. Eventually, they heard of a party that was being held in the parking lot of the then-defunct BurgerShot. Logan decided to stop by on the chance he met anyone who may be able to find him "work". He ran into Goldie again at this party, as it seemed she made a habit of attending them, and met Adder as well. The three stood on the awning of BurgerShot and talked for a while before Logan decided that he had best turn in, as he had taken advantage of all the city had to offer him for the day.

## An Unexpected Trip

The following week was very simple for Logan, however he did decide on a whim to venture to Liberty City over the proceeding weekend. Those cogs that had begun to turn in his head at Queen's mention of starting an MC had him wondering if the Lost MC were still active anywhere in the country. He had remembered them passing through his mountains occasionally on trips from Liberty City to Vice City and vice versa, and had heard rumblings that they had once operated in San Andreas but were quiet now.

In the meantime, Logan awoke to messages from Skye saying that she needed someone to talk to. Making sure she was still awake, he checked in with her and they agreed to meet at MRPD so she could vent to him. It was there that she told him about a unique experience in which she was kidnapped and held hostage for a convenience store stick-up, but was very luckily able to escape due to some unique circumstances. As she appeared to feel better, Logan said goodbye to Skye and returned to Paleto Bay to plan his trip and decide what would happen, come what may.

He woke again the next day to let his various bosses know that he would be absent from Los Santos for the weekend, and decided to check in again with Skye, to make sure she was recovering well mentally from her experience, only to find that her ex-boyfriend had come to the city. It seems this person was a catalyst for her leaving her hometown, and had disguised himself to get near her and assaulted her with a bat. Logan was not one to make overly sentimental attachments anymore, but Skye had done nothing but right by him, and it was then that he decided if he had crossed paths with this "TommyJ" he would pay him back for this crime, eye for an eye.

Logan attended a party for a very short time, inquiring with a few of his friends there about the Lost, and putting coded messages on Twitter asking about them, before deciding that no one currently in the city knew about them.

Logan once again returned to Paleto Bay, this time to pack his bags and leave for Liberty City.

## A New Outlook

With his trip to Liberty City behind him, Logan had made all the discoveries he needed to decide the life he now wanted to live, and it appeared that that life would be in San Andreas permanently, with a chopper motorcycle between his legs. As it so turned out, the Lost were less than a shell of what they had once been. Most of their members had moved to San Andreas in the past and had been killed or scattered in a turf war with a locall meth dealer. What remained of the Lost were addicted to methamphetamine and incapable of carrying on the MC, or past the point of wanting to fly colors for the MC anymore

He returned to the Yellow Jack to consult with Queen about her plans to start this MC she had in mind. She wanted to call it the Vultures MC, but had not made any significant plans to move forward with developing or fund them at that point. Logan volunteered to go all in on helping her start this venture if he could be her second in command. Logan's internal reasoning for wanting to start an MC were to respect Naomi's memory. He would never put himself in a position to be that vulnerable again, and he refused to be the reason someone's blood is pointlessly spilled, but he knew that to honor the memory of the one person he ever cared most about, he knew he had to to do this. He was all in.

Logan contacted every shady character he knew to try and find work. He reached out to Hideki, as Logan had his suspicions that he Mr. H was into some business he didn;t let onto in the open. While he waited to hear back from him, he carried on with his "normal" jobs, settling on taking fares for the taxi company for a while. Hideki eventually called him back, where they met and spoke in private on the roof of PDM. At that time, Hideki's only response was that he would "be in touch".

It was then that Logan made contact with Goldie to catch up. He mentioned that he was going hunting soon and she asked if it would be okay if she came along. He said that it was fine, he would enjoy having company. During this hunting trip, Logan bagged a boar, his first successful kill on a hunt. Logan and Goldie decided that it was better not to press their luck, and he had only brought 5 bags of bait anyways. They searched for a few more areas to hunt, but after failing to find a good place for bait to take anything worth hunting, the pair decided to return to the city. Goldie had heard about a quiet get-together on a secluded beach with her co-workers and invited Logan to go with her for a few minutes before he called it a night, to which he agreed. There, he ran into one of his former co-workers with the taxi company, Tea. He congratulated her on her new position with The Scene before making his exit, returning to his abode in Paleto Bay.

The following day, Logan did mostly mundane work at his normal jobs, electing mostly to take fares for the taxi company. At one point, he did meet with Hideki again, where Logan fleshed out his intentions to start an MC with Queen. Hideki expressed that he appreciated his honesty, that he had intended to offer Logan a starting position in the Yakuza but that he would be willing to pass him work that he heard about to help Logan fund the establishment of the MC. Unfortunately, no work would come from Hideki that day. Logan continued to run fares for the taxi company for most of the rest of the day, before deciding to try his hand at hunting again. He went to a spot he had tried earlier that day to some small success, and as he was setting his bait, he was set upon by a mountain lion. Logan raised his weapon to defend himself, only to find that a recent tsunami had washed the bullets from his gun. Logan was rescued by the airborne EMS, and this was also Logan's first personal interaction with Officer Manley, whom Logan had been repeatedly told he sounded a lot like. After his sudden visit to Pillbox, he was stitched up and written a prescription for some pain medications, which he was quick to go pick up.

Queen had posted on Twitter that the Yellow Jack was open. This was a rare occurrence at this point, so Logan decided to stop by and say hello.

While there, Logan mentioned to Queen that he was making moves to get the MC connections and an inflow of money. While they were talking, two patrons came into the bar; Dr. Kay and Yang Kai. As it turned out, Queen had already employed Mr. Yang's assistance in funding the Yellow Jack, and that Dr. Kay was privy to more underground goings-on in the city than her pharmacist job let on. Yang discussed some illicit business with Logan and Queen. Yang invited Logan outside where they could talk in a secluded spot about these types of business and he revealed himself to be high up in the hierarchy structure of the Vagos. It was there that Logan revealed what he and Queen's plans were for the MC; that they were desperate for work to fund the starting of the club, but that when they were fully on their feet, they wanted to stay in the traffic of guns and leave drugs on the table for those that already had hands in it. They would work to produce and move it for now, but that ultimately the club would want no major stake in them in the long run. Logan was sure to mention that he and Queen would remember those that helped them in the start-up of their current pipe dream.

Yang gave Logan information to start on; that robbing local convenience stores would be a good start to getting him moving up in the criminal underworld of Los Santos. Logan took this advice to heart and decided to start on it the very same evening. His first robbery went off without a hitch. His second robbery had his luck turned completely over, as an officer was on the same road to respond to the robbery Logan was currently enacting. The officer was none other than Dodie Lycan, however it seemed that she did not recognize Logan, and he did his best to keep it that way. He had been caught red-handed and therefore complied completely with Ms. Dodie.

Logan was arrested and sent to Bolingbroke Penitentiary for Armed Robbery and Grand Theft Auto.

While in prison, he met a curious character in Cerberus the Crime Dog. They exchanged numbers to contact each other at a later date to possibly collaborate on a job.

After getting out of prison, Logan took some late-night fares for the taxi company to pay off his fines, then retired to Paleto Bay for curfew.

The next day, Logan contacted someone underground to get his hands on another firearm, as his had been taken from him due to the felony Armed Robbery charge. Logan got in contact with Hideki and then Yang, offering his services to either for whatever jobs may come up. Both assured him that they would be in contact should anything come up. Yang also made it a point to mention that he was very much in the market to purchase \*redacted\* should Logan come across any. Logan reassured Yang that he would be in touch should any \*redacted\* fall into his hands.

Logan also responded to a "spam" email sent out by an organization that called themselves "The Family". Logan responded to this email, and made contact with a mysterious representative who said that in order to be an associate he had to pass a test to prove he was an earner, so Logan got to work. He robbed a handful of convenience stores, and did some legitimate work. While he was working, Hideki contacted him.

A serial killer under the alias "Smiles" was active in the city, and after a short amount of investigation, Logan realized that his frined, Anna, had been taken by the killer. Logan followed the trail to where they believed Anna had been kidnapped, hoping to foil the kidnapping before Anna was hurt, or worse. She was no where to be found, and they followed the trail the killer was leaving on Twitter to the Vinewood Bowl, where an abandoned vehicle similar to one that Hideki and Logan had seen previously at the Party Monkey kidnapping location was found. The MRPD were also following the clues left on Twitter,a nd an officer soon arrived on scene, who questioned Hideki and Logan about what they knew, and why they were at the Vinewood Bowl in the first place before eliminating them as suspects in the case.

Soon after, Logan was informed that Anna was safely in the hospital, hurt but alive. Logan visited her, and she seemed in high spirits despite her encounter. He exchanged numbers with her so that she had a more direct line to him should she ever need help again. Logan then returned to Hideki, who wanted him along on a manhunt to find Msiles, who was still active, and whose phone number Hideki had acquired through his network of underground contacts. Smiles was now using this connection to taunt Hideki, and Hideki did not want to be made a fool of. Hideki brought two other Yakuza members with him, whom incidentally turned out to be two people Logan worked with every day; Barry Valentine and Gee Sus of the Downtown Cab Co.. The pair were quick to inform Logan that the taxi company and the Yakuza are in no way affiliated, and that Barry and Gee had both joined the Yakuza on separate occasions by pure happenstance.

The quad set out to find the killer, but were unsuccessful and unable to prevent the death of Officer Valentine.

Defeated, Logan said his goodbyes to the group, and retreated to Paleto Bay.

## Groundwork, Leg Work, Hard Work

Logan continued to make connections and do work to get the MC off the ground over the next week. Logan met with the mysterious contact in The Family where he was honest about the fact that he did not want to join The Family, but to be connected to them in order to find work to get money for the MC, and that he would be sure to remember those that helped him in his time of enterprising need. He was turned down, but was told that he would not be written off, and that the offer to be a part of The Family was still available should he choose to pursue it. Logan thanked the gentleman for his time and left.

Logan would spend the next few days doing mundane work, as well as a few more stick ups. He was finally able to get in touch with Queen again for the first time in a while, where he suggested that he could open the Yellow Jack himself more often in her absence to get more business and get the bar generating legitimate money. She agreed, and Logan proceeded to the bar to open it as a bartender for the first time.
