Dexx Martin

Dexx Martin is a character role-played by Afro.

Dexx Martin is the founder, OG member and known leader of The Families. He is also known as "Triple OG" by the members because of his seniority. Dexx has a long history in the city and is one of the most respected gang leaders on the south-side. He is known for his laid back cool demeanor and calculated approach.

The Families
Dexx holds the responsibility as the only active senior OG in The Families. As the de facto leader, Dexx is the one member many outside of the gang commonly reach out to and vice versa. He also may be one to take final decisions whenever a council of OGs take place. For day to day, Dexx trusts his fellow OGs and senior-ranking family members to lead the gang and delegate tasks for the little homies.

While not cornering weed or running oxy, Dexx goes to his legal ventures for more family support and in return, makes name and diplomacy first with different gangs, businesses, and institutions around the city, whether they are potential allies or enemies.

Business Ventures
Dexx may be a south-side gangster, but he also has a knack for holding legal businesses for the family.

Herr Kutz Barbershop
Dexx and the rest of the gang decided to start a legit barbershop business called "Herr Kutz." His plans for the shop include providing jobs to civilians and earning legit income. He plans to offer membership discounts as well. The operation would also act as a front for criminal activities including drug sales. He also wants to start a delivery company based on the business. It was previously ran by Lavante Lamano, now ex-Families member, who used to offer haircut services for lifer in Bolingbroke Penitentiary. Currently, the business' status is unknown.

Vanilla Unicorn Strip Club
Dexx have previously co-owned the club with his now ex-girlfriend Liv Lassen. However since its state shutdown and the unexpected departure of Liv, Dexx sought to buy back it from the state together with a new co-owner Jessie Jugg. Later down the line, after the Mitch.tv streaming service (dirty money cleaning) was unplugged, the VU lost its luster despite having scarce events happening in it. During disastrous events of May and June 2022, Dexx found his gang pinched in between wars against Ballas and Gulag Gang, and found that the VU was in danger of being compromised by GG. Dexx then reached out to The Families' long time ally, Mr. Kebun of the Chang Gang, to sell the VU to him in exchange for protection. In the last day of August, the deal was sealed to have Mr. K own 49% of the VU.

A year passed and the club only seeing few bursts of activity, Dexx was approached by Marty Banks of the Gulag Gang, to buy the club in exchange of their gang's meth lab. Knowing the club is entwined with Mr. K's shares, Dexx, Marty, and Mr. K met to settle the contract of who's getting an ownership. However after a horrible altercation with Carmella Corset, a Chang Gang associate, and the two wars that proceeded back to back, the relationship between Dexx and Mr. K soured, including their own gangs. On May 14th 2023 Dexx, Jessie Jugg, and Marty were able make the tradeoff with Mr. K out of the picture. Dexx and Jessie still owns a small percentage of the club, while now Marty wholly owns and runs it.

Fresh Out
Eyeing to import a shoe store in Los Santos, Dexx created Fresh Out, a clothing and shoe store. He peddled sneakers around town in hopes to have a physical shop one day. Dexx hired Walter Melon, who wasn't a Family member at that time, to man the operations in Dean World. Construction was green-lit a year later and its planned location has been moved 2 times until it was settled in southern Power Street. A working storefront finally propped up in its place and has earned the shop over $700k in its first day.

Lucky Plucker and Street Eats
Dexx wanted to buy a defunct Lucky Plucker branch on Davis as he wanted a working chicken restaurant for the south-side. He soon was able to get a license from then-mayor Emma Gaine and started to gather interested investors. However, after Claire Seducer of the Angels got wind of Dexx's plan, she made it clear to him that the spot was already taken for her business Cluckin' Bell. Dexx then offered to change his business to a food delivery business, Street Eats, to which Claire also replied that they have their own delivery business too. Knowing it will go nowhere, Dexx decided to take a move for his fourth business to a pause.

Many months later, Dexx called up Claire to find that she became disinterested in the Davis branch. This gave Dexx an idea to revive Lucky Plucker again. However soon enough Claire returned back to Dexx and said declared that their Cluckin' Bell business is on track again, signalling Dexx to leave Lucky Plucker indefinitely.

After many months Dexx was approached by Larry Knox to buy the business. Dexx approved, with a catch that he owns a small value of 10% from the business. On May 2023, the Lucky Plucker saw its grand launch.

DASH Performance League
Dexx planned a legal drag racing scene down the Port of Los Santos and talked with Guy Jones and Mila Smoak from Natural Born Crackheads to turn the docks into a race track. However a great time went by and the plan fell through.

SS Pawn shop
Part of Dexx's rebuilding in the south side is to want to relieve the olden days of SS Pawnshop before the economic crash. After a talk with Claire Seducer, who coincidentally has a similar working business, Dexx and Claire agreed that his pawn shop will not be working like hers and will operate based on designated employees who will be taking specific items from a certain pawn list of a certain day. Initially planned as Discount Jewels after Dexx applied to the government for a branch near the Davis megamall, Dexx soft launched his pawn business without a storefront. Eventually Dexx was approved of a storefront on Strawberry, near the Vanilla Unicorn and has become a secondary store for selling gold, jewelry, and gems.

Music
Dexx is a hobby rapper and have always been an avid listener of old school hip-hop. He has released a song many years ago about a diss track against OTT and has currently settled back to work with his fellow family members to rap on a track, 9's in the Trunk. Dexx hints releasing more songs in the future.
