Name: Reyes Young

Age: 28

Occupation: Ex-Criminal

Backstory: Reyes was born into a dysfunctional family, he had a drug using abusing mother, and a drug dealing father who rarely ever around during his childhood. Reyes’s mother would beat him daily until he had a bruise or a black eye. One day Reyes’s mother left him at the house while she left a lit cigarette next to a curtain. Reyes hid under his bed until his mother arrived home. She called the firefighters, and she waited until they left to corner Reyes. She started to beat him again, continually blaming him for the ruined house, and she didn’t stop beating him until his arm broke.

When Reyes went to the hospital when the doctor asked him how he got the broken arm he just said her tripped, but he only said that due to his mother being right next to him. But meanwhile Reyes’s school life was just as bad as his outside life. Reyes was considered a weird kid and beat up every day, and the bullies never stopped until Reyes was bloodied and beat up. But one day Reyes took a knife from his mom’s drawer, which he managed to take while his mother was sleeping with her usual bag of meth next to her, and he took the knife to school. When the bullies cornered him again he drew out the knife and stabbed the nearest one. The others began to run away, and Reyes was tackled by a security guard and taken to the principal’s office. And then he finally saw his dad, he saw his dad enter the room. His dad had a deep talk with the principal, and when he left the room he looked at Reyes and smiled.

He drove Reyes home and told him what the principal had told him, that Reyes was to go to juvenile hall and spend the rest of the year there, but Reyes’s dad told him that he convinced the principal that’s where he was taking Reyes. He took Reyes to a meth making factory and told Reyes that Reyes would now be living with him and helping him make drug deals. When Reyes asked what had happened to his mother, Reyes’s dad said that she was killed in another house fire. Reyes didn’t seem saddened, in fact he just smiled and said she deserved it.

After a few years Reyes was taking school lessons by a tutor hired by his dad, and he also sold drugs to thugs on the streets, and he has been very successful. But when his dad went on a drug deal with Reyes to check on his skills, the deal turned out to be a trap and his dad was killed. Reyes ran as far as he could from this, not just from his dad’s killer, but from this life of drug dealing. He ran to the cops and turned himself in, but also offered them a chance to take all of the other accomplices in Reyes’s father’s drug empire, but they would have to let Reyes’s free, and give him a tenth of the earnings. They agreed as all of the accomplices were big criminals. Reyes’s led the accomplices to a trap and got them all landed in prison. Reyes was paid by the cops and he decided it was time to start anew, so he used some of his money to fly to Philadelphia to start anew.

Personality: Reyes manages to make himself look like a cold hearted man on the outside, but on the inside he cares about everyone, and he has never wanted to kill anyone. Reyes would only kill in self-defense, and that’s only in necessary situations. Due to his history in drug dealing he has quick reflexes and can get a good read on someone on first sight.
