Description
Achez Perez, often only goes by his last name "Perez", is one of the high commands of R.U.S.T.

History
Born in Brisbane, Australia to an American Father and Australian Mother. Perez was a loud, happy child in the early years. His parents found him excelling at sports at a very young age with impeccable accuracy and attention to detail. But with this, his loving father became very sour and strict. He began to push his son to his limits and forced him to excel at any task at hand. As a teenager, it was drilled into him to find motivation in being a perfectionist and failure to do so would result in punishment. The once bright and cheerful kid was turned into a cold dark young man. You can hear the pain and the history in his deep voice, but it was also very often when he spoke. Scared of living in fear of his Father every day. He felt he needed to run away from home, so joined the Australian Military at the age of 16.

He later was recruited to the SASR (Special Air Service Regiment) as he wanted to challenge himself and become a Commando. After many years, he considered his squad as a family as he never truly felt he had one before.

One day, an operation went terribly wrong to seize narcotics from the port of Los Santos before it reached Australian shores. The operation resulted in the death of many members of Perez's squad, including his wife, Emily Perez. Through an investigation, planted evidence was discovered in Perez's residence that he was the mastermind behind an ambush that led to the death of many Commandos. He was later disavowed from the Australian Army and convicted to jail.

In prison, he reached out to his friend Tane "Kiwi" Mahuta who lived in the City of Los Santos. Because of their history, Kiwi agreed to help Perez learn about the city and track down the people responsible once he was out.

Los Santos History

 * -|Arrival= Once Kiwi had helped Perez into the city, he more or less left him to his own devices. Soon Perez found his way to the mountains of San Andreas, often enjoying the little things in life like hunting or fishing. He began to learn more about the city from people he met in fishing tournaments, you can learn a lot about the city just from talking to a few people and gaining some connections. Eventually, there was an unfortunate incident where he was shot by Gheto Kaiba, a member of R.U.S.T, through which he met La Flare Davis, another member of R.U.S.T, who recognized Perez as one of Kiwi's friends and more or less invited him to be his friend, taking him under his wing and showing him truly what Los Santos had to offer.

In this new life, and knowing where Flare came from, Perez wasn't interested in joining any gangs. He'd rather stay a free agent, a gun for hire you could say. In fact, Perez purposely distanced himself this way, not wanting to get close to anyone ever again.



This was changed though after the war with RUST against Street Team. Perez saw that he worked really well with the rest of the gang and realized that his reputation within the group was good amongst the members. When he was offered the chance to become a Padawan in the gang he graciously accepted because, well, the group felt like something he hadn't had in a very long time, and never thought he'd have again. It was his family.

From then on, Perez became a full member of RUST, fully cementing his place in the gang. He has gained the reputation as the "Dragunov Demon" of RUST and is quite famous in the city for it. Despite this, Perez still tries to find joy in other things outside of war and gang activities.


 * -|The "Gun Deal" & "Rust Wipe"= During R.U.S.T's first war with Gulag Gang (GG), a grave mistake was made. A gun deal was being conducted at Scrap with Seaside and undenounced to them, Jamal, a GG member, had been hiding in Scrap all day with a camera keeping tabs on Scrap. Upon seeing a gun deal happening, he informs GG who ambushes with two members and starts to shoot down members on all sides.

Police show up quickly to the sound of the gunshots. As Perez is lying on the ground, bleeding out and high on almost any kind of drug you can imagine, he spat out that a gun deal had gone wrong at Scrap. Using this information, the PD is able to raid not only the Scrapyard but put an investigation out on everyone on the scene as well as RUST as a whole. They raid everything, from the warehouse to apartments as it seems like everything they had worked for was crumbling around them. A particularly damning piece of evidence to come from the warehouse was an AWM sniper rifle supposedly to have belonged to Michael Simone and was directly connected to many murders and an assassination attempt on Officer Jeffrey Bundy.

All of this led to at least $150k worth of charges stacked on Perez, as well as the rest of RUST, as a warrant. Because of this, Perez was forced to go into hiding for the weeks that were to follow.


 * -|Cyd Blooding Out=Cyd and Perez had always been a duo in RUST.

Out of everyone in the gang, there was rarely anyone who he had spent so much time with as with her. Whether it be Dodo runs or crime they could always be seen together. This never amounted to anything beyond friendship, of course, because of gang rules but didn't matter much to them. Maybe that's why it hurt so much.

After the gun deal incident, where being separated seemed like a very real possibility, Perez and Cyd made a pact that if they were to ever leave RUST or flee the country, they would do it together. He wanted to protect Cyd, he never wanted what happened to his wife to happen ever again. How did it go wrong so quickly?

But, as life went on, and war seemed to ravage RUST at every turn, Cyd began to grow tired and more distant from the gang. At some point, she couldn't take it anymore and asked to leave the gang. Of course... this couldn't be done without blooding her out. As the gang said their final goodbyes, Perez had to look away as she was shot right there in the flag room. This was then taken down to the beach off of LSIA, where they were to ocean dump her. As he looked upon the half-lifeless body of his friend, he couldn't bear to watch her be dragged into the cold depths of the ocean, so he left.

Perez believed in the end, he failed Cyd. He hadn't protected her well enough, which ended up in her feeling like she had to walk away from the family.


 * -|Nikki's Murder=Shortly after Cyd's blooding out, a certain Nicole "Nikki" Reynolds returns from a 3+ month trip to Boston. She quickly learns of what happened to one of her best friends and decides to contact Perez, her ex-lover. Upon picking her up, Perez took her to the beach. The very same where Cyd was dumped just days ago.



There they had a long conversation about Cyd. The wars, the drifting from the group, and the berating from the other members. Perez even opened up a little about their relationship while she was in the gang. This is where she learned about their pact to leave together, and how Perez had failed to keep that pact. She said that he had failed her by not leaving with her.

That was her first mistake.

But she kept on going attempting to convince him to leave RUST, pointing out all of RUST's flaws, all of his flaws.

In that moment, it was like a switch was flipped inside Perez. He knew Cyd was gone and that she wasn't coming back. All her memories of the time they had spent together was gone, all their experiences might has well have never existed. He knew he had to commit to RUST, his family.

With no gun or weapon of any kind, Perez handcuffed Nikki. She didn't put up much of a fight, perhaps hoping she could talk her way out of it. Not this time, she was already too deep. And as Perez dragged her closer and closer to the depths below her reasoning became pleading. Reminding her captor that Cyd would never forgive him, she was supposed to get married in a couple weeks, people would find out about this.

But her pleading was like a drop of water in the expanse before them, lost on Perez's ears. She gasped one last breath before her head was forced underwater. He could hear her muffled screams as he made his way back to shore, someone else's blood now on his hands.


 * -|Bike Scene=With Perez's persistence in committing to something he sets his mind to; Perez began to bike race with the intent to get better at getaway driving on a bike. Through these races, he began to reconnect with an old friend, Scarlett Skye, who began to teach him about the bike scene and the bike racing crew Firefly.

Spending more time in the bike scene also had some other unexpected effects. He began to reconnect with his on-again-off-again love interest, Cassie Miller. After seeing each other day after day during the holidays and being there during Cassie's rough break-up. They eventually became a couple on January 6th, 2023.

Perez has set his focus on creating the bike scene into something seen as more than just a "GNE grind", and to help it grow and reach people, perhaps making it something to rival the normal racing scene.


 * -|RUST High Command=Perez had been offered a high command position in RUST before, but he had turned it down because he felt that he wasn't ready. He was still new to gang life, and to the city, and felt that he needed to grow in order to hold such a position in a place that was so important to him. The Gun Deal incident only enforced these thoughts, as he felt as though he had fucked up too royally.

But as time went on, he began to grow and learn. During his conversation with Nikki, he realized that RUST was truly where he wanted to be. He didn't leave with Cyd and felt that he was ready to be committed to RUST.

So, when both Gheto Kaiba and Wren Draider, a high command member, left RUST and freed up a High Command slot. Perez was offered a position in high command; this time, he was ready. He accepted the position and is now a High Command of RUST.
