Demetrius "Draco" Jones is a character role-played by Cyter.
Description[]
Demetrius Jones, better known as Draco, is a Council Member of Seaside and a former OG/co-leader of the Ballas. Renowned for his skill in combat and driving, Draco also has a keen mind for opportunities, including business, that will benefit him and his gang.
Despite his reputation as the feared war general of Seaside, as well as his role in the expansive Hades weapon trafficking network, Draco is often found goofing around with his friends and family and working as mechanic at Hayes Auto Body Repairs.
Background[]
Draco took command of the Ballas alongside Tyrell Fresh after the blooding out of former leader Mando Thompson in October 2021. Under his watch, the Ballas gained a reputation as a force to be reckoned with.
He and then-fiancée Mona Sanchez announced they were departing the Ballas in August 2022 to seek a new future outside of the southside. The pair’s exit prompted an exodus, with numerous members following suit.
Draco and Mona reached out to Seaside’s leadership to flag their interest in joining. They, as well as former Ballas member Jayden Dennis, were blooded into Seaside as associates in August 2022.
Draco was promoted to full member in September 2022, along with other associates, after Seaside eliminated the position. He was elevated to the Seaside Council in April 2023.
After 12 months as a middleman, Draco was officially brought into Hades, a weapons manufacturing and trafficking operation owned by Michael Simone and operated by Benji Ramos, under the title 'Ares'.
He and Mona married atop Seaside Tower on September 29, 2023.

During their time in the Ballas, Del Perro-based gang Seaside was a key connection and source of inspiration given its origins of being founded by former southside gangsters. Seaside leader Benji Ramos had earned their respect by offering opportunities to the Ballas when many others refused them. Simultaneously, Mona had developed good friendships with many Seaside members. Ahead of leaving the Ballas, Draco and Mona even flagged their plans with Seaside member Javi Diaz. After their blood out, Draco and Mona reached out to Seaside’s leadership to express their interest in joining. Benji was flabbergasted at the idea of the pair without purple, and shocked at their hints to join his gang. “I already know which (house) I want. It’s a really pretty one down on the seaside.” - Mona Benji suggested the pair create their own crew given their strength and reputation. He urged them to take their time to consider their future, promising his support in the meantime. As they continued to speak about their aspirations, Benji offered an open invitation. “You’re self-poaching right now. Tell me when you are ready – you will receive two flags.” Exactly a week later, on August 9 2022, they (as well as former Ballas member Jayden Dennis) were blooded into Seaside as associates. Draco was promoted to full member in September 27 2022, along with other associates, after Seaside eliminated the position. He was elevated to the Seaside Council in April 2023. |
