Rafael_Santacruz

------------------------------------------------------------------ Rafael was born in 1997 at All Saints Hospital in Los Santos and grew up on the streets of El Corona. His parents divorced when he was 4 and Rafael stayed with his mother, while his father moved out of town. Rafael had fond memories of his life in Los Santos and after meeting the charismatic Roberto Velasquez he joined Los Pecadores de El Corona. He hanged around them for 13 months, without commiting any real crimes, but when he was reached by the news that his father had passed away, he had to travel to tie up some loose ends. El Jefe granted his wish so he immediately booked a flight to Vice City. He thought his trip would last only a couple of weeks but he ended up staying there for seven years. After a month in Vice City, Rafael was involved in a drug deal which turned out to be a covert op from the VCPD. He was arrested and sentenced to prison for 10 years, but he got out for parole after 5 for good conduct. He was sent back to Los Santos to serve the remaining 5 years. The minute he got back to El Corona, Rafael searched his old crew, but found out that the entire gang was in prison, charged 15 years for gun trafficking. Without a crew to hang out with and his mother disowning him, Rafael rented a room in the projects in Idlewood and started looking for ways to earn money. But his dream of becoming a gangster and living a dangerous life still hasn't left his mind.
