Maximilian "Yung Dab" Thoroughbred is a character role-played by MOONMOON.
General Description[]
Da Mayor
Maximilian "Yung Dab" Thoroughbred was an infamous SoundCloud rapper, criminal, and terrorist. He is the former CFO of Cop Killa Records, former leader of The Gnomes (a terrorist organization), and former member of Prune Gang. He was elected Mayor of Los Santos on January 20, 2024.
Yung Dab provided Rap Music to the people of Los Santos before 2019.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment on May 26, 2019, with the possibility of parole. After serving 757 San Andreas years in prison, he was set loose with the help of Lang Buddha and The Guild, spent time as head writer for Talon and then vacationed alone on Sanguine Isle and in Tahiti, for a total of five years, though dating protocols have left the exact time frame uncertain. (The wiki admins have prescribed using out-of-universe dating, which this article complies with.)
In December 2023, Maximilian became a marijuana entrepreneur, rideshare driver, delivery worker and fast-food cashier. He announced his candidacy for Mayor of Los Santos, winning with 47.39 percent of the vote.
On March 27, 2024, he announced he would run for re-election.
Throughout his profile, Maximilian Thoroughbred is referred to as "Yung Dab" or "The Gnome", depending on the scenario. "The Gnome" was a criminal persona, or possibly an entire second personality. "The Gnome" seemed to have slightly different thought patterns, and lack of emotion or empathy; in contrast to the ideas and statements made by "Yung Dab".
Background Information[]
Maximilian Thoroughbred was born into a wealthy, white Scottish-descendant family from the Northeast, mainly Liberty City. He attended Harvard University where he earned an astrophysics degree, and a doctorate. He wed Susan due to her wealth and together they have two children: a son named Timmy and a daughter named Susie. Their current ages are unspecified. He sporadically engages in prank calls with them, but consistently fails to show up for Thanksgiving gatherings.
One day, after hearing "Stir Fry" by Migos, he experienced an awakening. Maximilian decided he wanted to move to Los Santos in pursuit of a rap career, under the alias Yung Dab. Despite his wife threatening him with divorce (and later dying at the age of 90), Yung Dab left his family in Liberty City to follow his newfound dream, unsure of where it would ultimately take him.
In 2019, Yung Dab befriended Alabaster Slim and Gomer Colton, as well as Otto Delmar, Jaclyn Hyde, Lang Buddha, Eugene Zuckerberg, and Wang Chang, hired Kevin Shaw as his lawyer, adopted Siz Fulker and fell in love with Cheryl Smith. As a drug dealer, he acquired much respect from the criminal underworld, earning a reputation as a mediating and unifying figure. He recorded hit single after hit single, even charting higher than Post Malone on SoundCloud, and becoming rivals with Lil Erf. Over time, he cultivated a menacing alter ego referred to as the Gnome, which served as an inspiration for numerous individuals involved in acts of terrorism. Following an extensive police pursuit leading to his apprehension in 2019, he was promptly tried, convicted, and sentenced to serve a total of 757 days in prison. Despite a pardon granted by Judge Dennis LaBarre midway through his sentence, he managed to escape in 2021.
Physical Appearance[]
Yung Dab, aged 55, stands at 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs approximately 220 pounds. He is known for his ever-changing hairstyles and eclectic fashion sense. Notably, his chest and back are adorned with significant burn scars stemming from an ill-fated thermite incident during a vault robbery alongside Eugene Zuckerberg. A permanent skull tattoo graces his face, while a stop sign adorns the back of his left hand. Despite claims that the skull symbolizes street violence, the true motivation behind the tattoo's placement was Yung Dab's desire to enhance his reputation as a rapper. The upside-down display of the stop sign hand tattoo adds an ironic twist when he uses it to gesture obscenely at others.
"dotS, bitch." -Yung Dab, when criticized on his upside-down tattoo.
Later, in December 2023, he acquired a chest tattoo of a complex design centered around an AK-47 crossed with a shotgun. This was replaced with the Virgin Mary in January 2024.
Around this time, compared to five years prior, he would acquire a much greater variety of suits, blazers, shirts and trousers, sometimes accompanied with colorful vests and neckties, though on Alabaster Slim Memorial Day he would wear a leather and leopard skin coat and garish pink shirt in tribute, while in one of the mayoral debates and during the January 6, 2024 uprising he wore a navy blue blazer, red-, white-, and blue-striped bow-tie, red- and white-striped pants, and a blue-grey top hat, complemented with a desert camouflage bulletproof vest in the latter instance.

Yung Dab’s character sheet for 2024
- Strengths: networking, seduction, charisma, honesty, wittiness, creativity, and persuasiveness.
- Weaknesses: his rap game, insecurity, naïveté, shamelessness, cowardice, two-faced attitude toward Gladys Berry, selfishness, conspicuousness, and poor investment choices.
By 2023, Max had considerably improved his mental health, owing to years of therapy and exile. He appeared to have shed his psychopathic alter ego, the Gnome (until Siobhan’s actions on the first Election Day 2024) and accepted his past, and was considerably more laid back and easygoing than before, with a cheeky sense of humor. He was more outwardly affectionate and emotionally intelligent to his allies and campaign staff, willing to bare his soul; he now considered himself a “man of the people”. Still, his massive ego, his thirst for power and his pettiness were more apparent than ever, as evidenced by his handling of his campaign announcement, and his lying ability had extended farther. He was also more openly charismatic, vulgar, lascivious and lustful, sometimes hitting on his campaign staff until ceasing in mid-January.
