DeLuca
DeLuca usually comes off as very energetic, ill spoken and finds it very easy to provoke people for his own entertainment. However, he is quick to pick up on small details, signs, and mannerisms of those he engages with. He uses these to decide on who to trust, like and put his time and energy into, once he feels a bad vibe he will simply not care for this person again. DeLuca will often not back down no matter who is challenging him since when he was first in the city around 2017 he was a timid soul, often stepped over, abandoned and humiliated. Since then he has became extremely unhinged and is now quick to violence, shouting and threats.

Not many people have seen the serious side to DeLuca, the calm, methodical, well spoken version, not many people should want to see it because the chances are that they wont be breathing for much longer after that.

DeLuca loves to be clear and upfront to people, if they are being a out of line, he will let them know.

DeLuca has never really found his place in the city - he struggled to really find a group around him which he truly felt like he can trust and rely on, he feels like everyone is so one dimensional that he struggled to keep interest and to hold friendships.

DeLuca appears as a aged mid twenties, pale, caucasian man with medium, grey/brown hair, strong side burns, jaw and a moustache. His dress sense is very much dependant on his mood, often he would be in a green sleeveless jacket and black stone island trousers finally topped off with a plane black cap.

 * -|The Lost MC=

DeLuca first approached The Lost MC around March 2021 first just to be around like minds but then he put forward the idea that he would like to Prospect for The Lost MC. The first two people he met and also the first who he put this idea forward to directly were Sassa and Floki.

They made a deal with DeLuca to help keep him on his feet. They had a job that needed doing and a drug which they could provide so that DeLuca can both have an income and also improve their strain.

=The Cleo Job=

Floki had multiple issues with being harassed by Cleo Shaw and wanted a very clear message sent for her to back off before things got worse. Floki took this chance to let DeLuca try and prove himself and show what he is capable especially as a lone wolf so he gave the job to DeLuca in which he must grab Cleo Shaw, hurt her and tell her to stop fucking with Floki.

DeLuca took this job with a smile, he was quite well known from the Tuner Shop and still had a clean record so no one would be expecting of a plan of such violence.

DeLuca spent three weeks straight trying to get a hold of Cleo Shaw with the backstory of wanting to do a documentary about the different people in the City and getting a short 15 minute interview at the Weazle News Studio. Since she heard about DeLuca trying to contact her almost every day she figured it was a genuine documentary because no criminal in the city would try so hard to get a person to a location when they can just kidnap them.

So Cleo came to the Studio with three friends and in the room were also DeLuca and Isaac Wagner who in which DeLuca hired to be a camera man for the incident without telling him the plan which later caused him to fire DeLuca from the Tuner Shop. After introductions DeLuca started a slow 15 minute interview with thought provoking questions and deep insightful questions before doing the "outro" in which the camera slowly panned to a wide shot and DeLuca exclaimed "Today ladies and gentlemen we learned how a simple conversation can progress us forward together" DeLuca no stands up and looks at Cleo before saying "and sometimes, we need something more drastic to get a lesson across" as he pulled out his firearm and shot a single bullet into Cleo's head - as she fell onto the ground then he turned to the audience to make sure he would make it out and he managed to leave and lay low.

Emergency Services were called and police collected evidence and filled a very detailed report on the incident and the tape was even submitted yet - after 60 days of laying low, DeLuca was never charged with the attempted murder of Cleo Shaw and the charges expired.

This was the start of DeLuca's slow unwinding and slow derailment of his mental state.

From this DeLuca would join the Lost in the war of the Peoples Republic of Sandy Shores and actually save Floki as he was unconcious in the road he broke out of the compound and dragged him back to safety, an act Floki was displeased of since he wished to go to Valhalla.
