Jaylen Carter Jr

Jaylen "Lamp Post" Carter Jr is a character role-played by Merald.

General Description
Jaylen Carter, also known by his street name "Lamp Post", is a founder and the leader of the Street Team. He is also a full member of Chang Gang—having received a CG chain on February 14th, 2022—and a member of the Vendetta racing crew. He took over H&O Exports after Hutch Hutcherson left the city to go to Russia for a few months and remained the main operator after Hutch returned. This means that he can often be seen providing cars to Ramee El-Rahman for Vultur Lé Culturé Imports.

Jaylen is best known for his willingness, always looking out for others and not standing for injustice; he is well respected with gangs across the city and has gained a name for himself for doing so. He is distinguishable from his black-skull face mask and black sunglasses, often occupied by a golden chain.

Along with his strong sense of loyalty, Jaylen is also known for his bluntness and short but well-thought-out remarks, partially due to English not being his first language.

After serving as the leader of Street Team for over a year, Jaylen stepped down on July 15, 2022. Wayne Biggz subsequently took over as temporary leader. Jaylen eventually returned to the position in late 2022 and remains the leader as of 2023.

In late October 2022 Jaylen decided he would propose to his long-time "roommate" Mari Posa. He bought an engagement ring on October 31, 2022. He finally proposed to her on November 26.
