Yang Yang

Yang Yang is a character role-played by Zusso.

Background
Yang grew up as an orphan with his younger brother in Guangzhou with little to no information of his own origins. He and his brother spent their childhoods living in the open streets and survived through the generosity of people. As young teens, they were soon found and picked up off the streets by local Chinese gangs, specializing in smuggling people to other countries through various methods; one of which being the use of stolen or altered passports. As Yang had no family name, the gang nicknamed him, 'Yang Yang', which later on became his official name in Los Santos. From there, Yang and his brother were given work as errand boys and taught skills such as lockpicking, driving vehicles and gun handling; skills that are essential and valuable in the world of organized crime.

In early 2021, both brothers had grown into well-trained criminals in their affiliated gang. However, it came to Yang's discovery that his brother had been doing undercover operations for the local police after accidentally going through his brother's belongings. Pushed into a difficult dilemma, Yang was conflicted on whether he should inform the gang bosses about the situation as he knew it would mean the death of his own brother. After several days of tough decision making, Yang decided that his loyalty lies in the gang as it was the only family that he ever knew. Tasked in the killing of his brother, Yang was able to have his final moments with him. It turned out that Yang's brother was working on a way out of gang life for both of them by cooperating with the police in getting the gang bosses in jail. However, this did not sit well with Yang as it went against his code which meant betraying the 'hand' that fed them. Yang made the killing quick and painless out of the respect that the traitor was his brother after all.

As requested by Yang, the gang had approved and rewarded Yang with free passage to the United States for his loyal acts of service to the gang. Yang was ready to leave everything behind and start anew in Los Santos.

Yang is no longer affiliated with the gang in China.
