Mike Smoore-Santana is a character role-played by smo_och.
General Description[]
Mike Smoore is a Hangaround for the Raiders MC. He is very loyal to the people working with him and he has built close relationships with many criminals around Los Santos.
Background[]
Mike grew up in an emotionally abusive home that left him mentally cautious of authoritative male figures. He was adopted by the El Jefe of the Vagos, Speedy, to become the "Prince of the Vagos" (Mike even began hyphenating his name to Smoore-Santana). Mike started a civil war in the Vagos on November 5, 2021, when he shot Chino Gonzalez and other Vagos members in his car over Chino's threat to overthrow Speedy. As a result, Benji Ramos led a mass exodus of the Vagos members loyal to him--and Speedy had Cousin blood Mike out of the Vagos for reacting against Speedy's order to let Chino and his "'shnakes" make the first move in the coup. Now a "Veterano" of the Vagos, Mike woke up in the ICU and learned that out of all of his emergency contacts, only Ash Ketchup and his adoptive daughter Mila Smoak came by to visit him. Since then, Mike joined other groups like R.U.S.T and HOA, but began to feel like a "curse" who caused groups to fall apart.

Mike befriended the Raiders MC, a 1% outlaw motorcycle club based in Chumash, and was jokingly adopted by their President Darcy Lane. Despite months of hanging out with them, he always declined their offers to join out of fear that his "curse" would break them up.   Rue's attempted murder of her own President Lane on September 9, 2024 Mike faced an impossible choice when his closest friend in the club, Warden Rue Day, attempted to murder her secret girlfriend Lane on September 9, 2024 for cheating on her with Dr. Duke Ramsey. Rue had refused to let Lane leave her, fractured her skull with a wrench, and dumped her off the Sonar Collections Dock into the water below--an ultimate rulebreak punishable by death. The next day, acting President Wade Wilson told an incredulous Mike that Lane and Rue were in a relationship, that Lane was seeing Duke at the same time, that she had also tried to sleep with Benji Ramos, that Rue hurting Lane followed the same reactionary pattern as Rue killing Beverly Brekker, and that Rue is joining a lot of people in the ground if she did it. Although Mike considered Fenyx Fahey his prime suspect instead, subsequent text exchanges with Rue caused him to seriously consider the possibility that she really did hurt his adoptive mom. Mike even came to terms with pulling the trigger on Rue himself to protect Lane, and to protect Wade from Lane's future hatred of whoever killed Rue. However in a phone call with Rue on September 11, 2024, Mike realized that he didn't want to lose his friend. In the phone call, Rue recounted that right after Lane admitted to cheating on her, Rue blacked out and genuinely didn't remember what happened after that. Rue didn't know how she could stay in Los Santos watching Lane with someone else every day, and that since she killed Lane's ex-husband Beverly Brekker nobody wants Rue here. When Mike replied that Lane still loved her, Rue cited how Lane kept abandoning the girlfriends she got bored with. Rue stated that if she did it, she deserved to be blooded out--and that she's ruined everything she's ever touched. Forecasting that Lane would hate whoever shot Rue, Mike admitted that he had wanted to be the one to do it. Rue asked Mike to tell Wally West she loves him, that he's her best friend, and that she really wished she hadn't let him down on the Bev stuff. Rue declined Mike's suggestion to run away, and asked to be buried with her uncle back home in Wiscasota.   Not certain enough of Rue's guilt to blood her out, Wade exiled her from the city instead--warning that he'll kill her if she ever stepped one foot back into Los Santos. Afterward during a phone call with Mike to drive Rue to the airport for her prospect Flynn Bobarge, a gunman in a Grime uniform asked if she was Rue and gave her a note. After stating what the note said, "Slime King says to stay out of his Lane," he shot her down. When Flynn notified Wade about it, he ordered the club to just leave her. Mike called the EMS to help her, and accused Wade of knowing who did it given how he had asked Mike earlier to shoot her. Once Rue left her ICU room, Mike watched her visit a comatose Lane in her ICU room to say goodbye. She and Mike then sped away from Lane's outraged ICU guards James Callahan and Rylee Kenwood to the Sandy Shores Airfield. Rylee urgently phoned Mason Calaway, who rushed to James' best guess of the airport they were fleeing to. But he was unable to stop Rue from flying out of Los Santos. In the Central Los Santos Medical Center on September 12, 2024, Mike waited with Lane's loved ones for the result of her extremely high-risk pacemaker surgery. Former Raiders MC co-founder Alice "Allie" Omen walked in with her ex-boyfriend Shang Liu--and secretly wanted to kill Mike for helping Rue get away. Allie was the former Chaplain of the Raiders MC, Lane's estranged best friend, and Rue's biggest critic. To the relief of Lane's loved ones, Dr. Duke Ramsey announced that she'll recover. When Allie left and told Mason that Mike was inside, Mason walked in and pointed a gun at Mike--but Wade stopped him. Allie then had Fenyx Fahey attack Mike with a knife outside of the hospital--but Fenyx botched it. Flynn opened fire on Fenyx, and Mike ran after Allie and Fenyx in his Phoenix. Wade texted Allie that he recognized the car. She told him over the phone her justification that Mike helped Rue get away. Wade stated that Flynn shouldn't have shot to protect non-Raider Mike, and cited Lane as the primary reason for why he couldn't risk killing Rue without absolute certainty. Still crestfallen by Duke's revelation that he was dating Lane, Benji Ramos wanted to meet Allie for sending Fenyx to stab Mike for aiding Lane's attacker. Outside of Bolingbroke, Allie explained to Benji that she wanted her own retribution for Lane ever since the Raiders MC let Rue walk and Mike helped her escape the city. Allie revealed she left the Raiders MC because she thought it was trash, that she used to work for The Company under Fiona Stewart, and that she was part of The Guild. Benji lent a couple of Hades soldiers to shoot Mike for her and Fenyx. Afterward, Allie told a downed Mike that if he really cared about Lane, he wouldn't have helped Rue escape. Mike retorted that Lane didn't love her, and that Lane loved Rue way more than she ever loved Allie. After a successful surgery to remove the shunt from her head and the pacemaker from her chest, Lane was discharged from the hospital on September 17, 2024. In a private car conversation, Lane and Mike agreed that they were struggling with the possibility that Rue really did hurt her. He recounted fleeing with Rue from an armed James Callahan and Rylee Kenwood, rationalizing that Lane would want Rue alive rather than dead. Mike also felt ostracized from the Raiders MC for what he did. Lane assured Mike that she could never hate him, and felt horrible for putting everyone in that position because of how much she hurt Rue. Lane called it a "small comfort" that Rue's not dead. Mike recounted how Mason Calaway pointed a gun at him for helping Rue leave, how Allie had Fenyx Fahey stab Mike, and how Allie hired "Slime Shack" gangsters to shoot him. Mike couldn't believe that Fenyx, the guy who stabbed and ocean dumped Lane, would judge him for helping Rue leave. But Mike added that he had squashed the beef with Allie. Afterward with the encouragement of Lane, Mike infuriated Wade Wilson by stirring with his newly "exclusive" girlfriend Doll that it wasn't really exclusive because she hadn't finished breaking up with all of her exes yet. After disputing Wade's confirmation that he and Doll were "exclusive but not dating", Lane upset him by calling Doll "bad news", saying she didn't like Doll (after only hearing Mike's POV on it), and stopping him from knocking her "loved one" Mike out. Determined to repair his strained relationship with half of the Raiders MC, Mike finally informed Lane on September 20, 2024 that he wanted to formally join the club and earn his kutte. The Raiders MC made him a Hangaround. |
| Hangaround for the Raiders MC |
|---|
|
Mike's friendship with an exiled Rue Day inspired him to follow in her footsteps in the Raiders MC. Ever since Rue had left the city, a stalker kept texting Alice Omen with messages such as the men visiting her yellow house in Mirror Park and how easily she gets slighted. Her ex-boyfriend Shang Liu of the Already Dead MC primarily suspected Mike (due to his threatening text to attacker Fenyx Fahey), and confronted him at Big Ouch. At Chumash Pier on October 4, 2024, Mike got into a car accident that would eventually build to a shootout between the Raiders MC and The Besties. After Mike accidentally hit a parked tow truck into its driver, Mike saw that a "James Pitts" was trying to phone the tow driver--and tried to notify the caller to pick up the driver at the hospital. "James Pitts" then phoned Raiders MC Prospects Flynn Bobarge and Faraday Murphy with disinformation, false-flagging as ADMC to the latter. After a weird conversation with "James Pitts" about whether they had beef or not, Mike asked his ex-girlfriend Blue of the ADMC to warn Shang that "James Pitts" claimed a yellow house in Mirror Park had dead bodies in it. "James Pitts" continued to false-flag as different MCs to different groups. On October 5, 2024, Mike notified Raiders MC High Command Lane and Wade Wilson about the stalker that has been texting Alice for months and stealing cars out of her driveway. After inexplicably phoning new Raiders MC club friend Lincoln Page to set up a 30-minute meeting at a yellow house in Mirror Park, "James Pitts" suspiciously phoned Wade's girlfriend Doll to meet him at the Mirror Park lake. Although Wade confirmed with Alice that she didn't know a "James Pitts", the Raiders MC suspected her of feeding him information about who the Raiders MC's friends were. Led by Wade, the Raiders MC kidnapped and interrogated the mystery man who met with Doll at the lake--but he continued to lie about his affiliation. Given that the mystery man had a "James Pitts" ID, "his phone", and the same voice as the person who phoned Faraday, Wade shot him in the face and left him at the swamp without his SIM card. Later that night, the Raiders MC verified at the hospital and Davis City Hall that Wade had shot Zee Bruh, not James Pitts. Wade continued to investigate the text messages on the SIM card. That same night in an investigation of Alice's stalker, an ADMC convoy of Irish, Shang, Ivy Grayson, JT, Sophie Sanders, and Blue interrogated Mike at a night race, robbed his SIM card and about $20K worth of car parts, and blew up his car (Ivy eventually returned the SIM card to Mike after snooping through his text messages).   Besties co-leader Ming Jingtai shooting at Raiders MC President Lane after she wrenched hangarounds Jack Bates and Zee Bruh on October 6, 2024 Zee Bruh turned out to be a Hangaround for The Besties who was impersonating James Pitts as a prank, and was mad about losing his SIM card and bleeding out in the swamp for three hours. On October 6, 2024, he phoned Wade about getting his SIM card back--but it got lost in a scuffed dumpster that Wade had accidentally kicked. Zee showed up at Big Ouch with Besties co-leader Ming Jingtai and hangaround Jack Bates. During a confrontation with Veronica Westfield, Lane, and Rylee Kenwood, Lane accused Zee of impersonating James Pitts to stir and false-flag with different MCs. When Jack hit Veronica with a gun, Lane took out both him and Zee with a wrench in the ensuing shootout. After Rylee got shot down, Ming eventually gunned down Lane. He robbed the three Raiders of their phones and escaped with Jack and Zee. Afterward in a phone negotiation with Wade, Ming was unhappy that he took Zee's SIM card but conceded that he probably deserved what the Raiders MC did to him. Zee and Jack agreed with Ming to give back all three Raiders phones. Wade also managed to return Zee's SIM card that had been scuffed in the dumpster. Shang antagonized the Raiders MC again when on October 23, 2024, Mason Calaway shot Fenyx Fahey and barred both Alice and Shang from visiting Fenyx in the ICU (similar to how Alice had once barred the Raiders MC from visiting Lane in the ICU). In response, Shang, Finn Milton, and JT kidnapped Lane's boyfriend Dr. Duke Ramsey to the oil fields, interrogated him, and looked through his burner phone. After condemning Duke for being the man whom Lane cheated on Rue Day with, Finn slashed Duke's throat, carved "SNAKE" into his chest, and shot him several times. In a 6v6 shootout on October 25, 2024, Mike went down with Wade Wilson, Veronica Calaway, James Callahan, Faraday Murphy, and Doll defending the Raiders MC home turf Chumash from an ADMC war party of Shang, Irish, Kelly Dean, JT, Benny Razer, and Max Connorth. |
