Xavier Valentine

Xavier Valentine is a character role-played by Boogie.

General Description
Xavier Valentine is a full member of the Angels. He has a lot of energy, can't stand still, and often doesn't pay attention to the road unless he's racing or getaway driving. He is charmingly overconfident and yawns a lot. He likes to boost and hack cars (often startling people with his loud excitement over S+ boosting contracts), and compete in illegal street races. He also took after his father's proficiency in hacking, working out (by hitting the gym and drinking creatine), and commitment issues.

Background Information
Xavier Valentine moved to Los Santos on April 26th, 2021. He rarely ever talks about his past except to say that he was abandoned by his father, 15-time world pro-wrestling champion Mick Jhonson. Xavier also used to be Jonathon Ronathon's roommate. Because of Xavier's penchant for trolling, his stories (such as dropping out of the first grade to support his family) aren't reliable. He once told Cody Speedwagon and Cleo Shaw that when he was a little kid he asked his mother, "Samlina Valentine", where his father was--she said "he's either in Antarctica, the North Pole, or Los Santos" so Xavier went to Antarctica; didn't find Mick, went to the North Pole where it was too cold and didn't find Mick, and eventually found Mick in Los Santos.

Both Mick and Barry Benson took DNA tests to confirm that Hubcap Jones is their biological father. Other than Mick, Xavier only gets along with his grandfather Hupcap. Andi Jones refuses to accept Xavier as her nephew, and Barry didn't acknowledge Xavier as his nephew until after he got rich from winning the five million dollar Death Race.

History
Xavier idolized his father and hacking mentor, Stable founder, Mick Jhonson. Already divorced 14 times, Mick wooed and married Xavier's mean boss from the Vanilla Unicorn, Jessie Jugg, and abandoned Xavier for a third time. Through Stable Head Nancy Drew, Xavier developed a friendship with her boyfriend at the time Dante Wolf, an officer and detective in the LSPD. Nancy often chided their jokes about adopting Xavier and making Dante the shadow leader of The Stable. After Nancy and Dante had long broken up, Xavier befriended a criminal reminiscent of Dante named Kanye Mushkin. Xavier still jokes that Dante and his ex-husband, Sam Baas, were his adoptive fathers, making police officer, Anita May, Xavier's "sister". Elizabeth "Lizzie" Byrne and Lana Valentine have also affectionately referred to Xavier as their "brother". Because of how closely Xavier's personality matches with his Angels leader and mentor, Claire Seducer, the two of them have often talked about taking a DNA test.

Xavier has a long history of financial irresponsibility and unpaid loans. He once dumbfounded The Stable in 2021 by purchasing his dream Audi R8 car with a million dollar loan that he couldn't afford the payments for (he also kept getting the car impounded). After the GNE market crash crippled his personal income, he finally gave in and sold the car.

In 2022, he went five million dollars into debt because he breached and defaulted on Marlo Stanfield's three million dollar car loan to him at 50% interest — a loan agreement that Xavier had only signed because the roulette ball landed on 21. Nick Simone banned Xavier from the casino during a gambling intervention, and called him the worst gamba addict ever. Xavier worked on his debt for over four months until Felix Volk paid off the final $3.5 million dollars of it in January 2023, telling Xavier to never get in that situation again. Nick wound up banning Xavier from the casino again when the Angels found out he had a relapse and gambled away both his and girlfriend Ginnie Ebeneezer's life savings on roulette. Ironically, Xavier redeemed himself by winning a five million dollar Death Race — becoming a multimillionaire for the first time in his life.

Near the end of The Stable's run in 2021, Xavier was their only bank hacker certified on the green, blue, and red laptops. After the bank system changed to valuable goods with multi-row hacks, he re-certified himself on the new green, blue, and red laptops and mastered DDR. Xavier was gangless in the city for eight months, and spent 2022 as a reliable S+ boost hacker freelancing for various gangs, racing crews, and getaway drivers in the city before hacking mostly for the Angels in 2023.

🐎 The Stable
While still a newcomer to Los Santos, Xavier ran into Mick Jhonson, who saw potential in the younger criminal and admired his enthusiasm. As a token of good faith, Mick paid Xavier's debt of a few thousand dollars and told him about his up and coming criminal organization, which ultimately became The Stable. Xavier became the organization's first Stable Hand.

At 19 years of age, Xavier (pronounced "Zaveeay" by his friends at the time) was the youngest member of The Stable. He was a hyperactive teenager who had the zoomies, often jumping on obstacles and circling his friends. He ran oxy and weed, and often helped cook and corner meth for The Stable. He also used to sell cocaine for Mickey S.

The Stable Heads lent Xavier and fellow Stable Hand Lizzie Byrne their first practice laptop (manufactured by The Game Masters) so they could learn to hack banks. After The Stable kicked Lizzie out for attracting heat from the police, Xavier maintained an unwavering friendship with her despite The Stable's orders to stay away from her. The Stable lasted from May 2021 to December 2021.

💻 Bank Busta and Broke S+ Booster
Still friends with everyone from the disbanded Stable going into 2022, Xavier shared Jeffy Coldiron's "Bandito Bunker" warehouse with Kirk Jerkems and Abner Vaca. Xavier once referred to himself as a "broke S+ booster" because unlike many of the top boosters in the city, he couldn't afford any of the S+ cars he stole.

💼 "#1 Business man World Wide"
Motivated by steady legal income and Nancy Drew's $1000 networking lessons, Xavier branded himself as the "#1 Business man World Wide" and followed up on Cerberus head Leslie Lingberg's "impossible" challenge of making Betta Life Pharmaceuticals profitable. Xavier paid Nancy $50,000 to create a presentation about why the company should hire him for its open COO position. Nancy transcribed Xavier's run-on thoughts into a picture book titled "Xavier Valentine: #1 Business Man Worldwide - Real & True / Building a 'Betta Life'", a magnum opus about how Xavier managed to persevere things left, right, and center.

During this era of Xavier's life, he often hung out with Marlo Stanfield and the people at Otto's Autos. Despite his contempt for Xavier, Marlo often granted him various opportunities in addition to Otto's Autos and Diamond Hand Credit, such as MRL street race hosting, multiple chances in the same Cerberus internship competition, special Marlo Entertainment (ME) events like Death Race, and an invitation to hack S+ for Tony Corleone of Redline. However, Marlo also enabled Xavier's crippling gambling addiction and loan abuse. Despite Marlo putting Xavier five million dollars into debt with a predatory loan and lawsuit, Xavier still looked up to him.

🚦👹 Yokai
By anonymous invitation, Xavier formally started Yokai Academy on August 18, 2022. He dressed in Yokai gear and participated in street race invitationals. Day 2 was a boosting challenge. After the Day 3 challenges, Shinigami formally made Xavier and his Angels friend Oakley Stallion Yokai prospects (both with the rank of "Mikomi") on August 21, 2022. To Shinigami's disappointment on December 3, 2022, Xavier left Yokai before she had a chance to give him and Oakley the katanas she had bought for their full invitation into the crew. Xavier's good friend and Yokai OG, W'Kabi Aku, took the news badly and the two of them drifted apart. Shinigami didn't get around to formally blooding out Xavier until June 24, 2023.

👼 Angels
Following a unanimous vote of "yes", the Angels formally accepted Xavier (pronounced "X-ay-veeyer" by his friends) into their gang as an Associate on November 18, 2022 (earning keys to Casa de la Angel and access to the shared vehicles there). Three days later, the Angels sprayed their 54th graffiti to progress to the final rank of Powerful in the gang app. Xavier worked with the Yokai leadership to remove his name from their gang app, so that Claire Seducer could add him to the Angels'. On March 9th, 2023, Xavier was initiated into the Angels as a full member.

"The Angel of Liability" moniker stuck because of Rod Long. When Claire was first scouting Xavier, she and Abby Brooks found out that he was five million dollars in debt. Afterward, Abby paraphrased Rod's description of Xavier as a "liability".
