## Background

Raven Kirby is a character that's been through multiple stages of his life, from starting off innocent, to being a part of the nightlife. He was born and raised in New York from a borough next to Brooklyn. He was raised in a poor environment where everyone strived for a better living. As the only child Raven had responsibility to take care of his single mother until he hit the age of 18. Raven was always a person who strived to be his best, at the age of 18 with the influence of his mother he flew out to a nice city where he could start his new life and try to make it better for himself, This was the start of his long journey ahead of him.

When Raven first moved from New York he flew to the nice city of Los Santos, knowing no one there and having to start from the bottom in the most literal term. He met a couple of people who rolled together, Drake and Sean they were some nice brothers who had the same values as Raven so the moment they met they clicked. Raven, Drake, and Sean hanged out together for a month or so working any jobs that they could find, driving trucks and making money. Sean and Drake came up with the idea to start a club to try to get more money to start a company regarding car selling. Raven was hesitant at first but eventually he caved in and agreed to be a part of the newfound "club."

At first everything started off so innocent, the three would just start by taking cars from people and chopping them cause there was a Mafia in the city that bought the parts for a hefty amount. After Sean and Drake made a nice amount of cash they decided to buy some weaponry to defend themselves from any violence just incase someone wanted to defend their property. One day while stealing a sultan the group encountered a man who was flagged up, he tried to press Sean, Drake and Raven and Sean ended up pointing his Glock at him and telling him to get in the car. Raven had thoughts of getting out the car as he initially didn't wanna be a part of the situation but he was told to take the gun from the person who was flagged up and ended up having to own a gun himself.

The man was driven down to the beach and left tied to a tree, Raven got paranoid and asked the group to lay low for a week to avoid getting shot or murdered. But ever since that day the group changed, became more violent and started to recruit more people to the so called club... Raven didn't like the direction that their group was headed so he came up with a plan. He told the group that he would work as a front-man cause that is truly what he wanted from the start. He sent out applications to multiple places like Burger Shot, Weazel News and PDM. Eventually Weazel News responded and Raven started working as an Ad-man.

By the point Raven landed the job at Weazel News the so called group he was in with Drake and Sean was no longer just a club it was a full blown gang called "The Projects." They rolled with at least 15 people and we're out to be on top of the city contesting a gang called Cosa Nostra. They weren't looking to contest through the normal means of just shooting though.. they wanted to own the economy, The Projects operated off of flipping limited imports that came through PDM. The gang would put their money together and buy the cars for cheap so they can sell them for more in the future.

After buying a nice compound down by Olympic Freeway called Southside Benny's they started their operation. Raven had a nice idea of making Advertisements for the gang on the side, without it being figured out by  his employer. Raven would make ads for whatever cars/events his gang was selling/buying or hosting and it helped The Projects grow into the position that was wanted.  Things were looking up for the Projects and Raven was getting a nice cut from the cars that were sold.

But sadly eventually everything that is going to well comes to an end.. Some Projects members were participating in gang activities such as drive-by, robbing stores and banks etc. The cops finally had enough evidence to pin a raid on The Projects compound down at Benny's. When they least expected it the compound was raided during a party that was being hosted by the members; Was the perfect time for the cops to sneak their way inside. While Raven was working he heard a call on the Weazel Radio hearing that his compound was being raided, he showed up while working and had to record it all as a part of his job.

After seeing Drake and Sean get arrested he was devastated and sought out to find a legal team to try to get them out of the heap of trouble that they were in. After thorough months of battle with the prosecutors and cops being caught planting evidence at a scene Drake and Sean were put on probation for half of a year. After waiting the probation period and them being released off of probation the three ended up moving to a humble city faraway.

The three were looking to escape their past and try to start a new, Raven told the two that he planned to start an Ad-Selling business and that he wanted to stay clean in the future. The two brothers agreed and acknowledged that it was a great plan, helping him to get the start-up money for his business plan. Raven is looking forward to expanding his name and starting fresh. Hopefully with this new start in his life he can make it the legal way and follow his original plan that he had when he first moved from New York.
