General Information[]
Until recently Mikey managed to keep clean, he has befriended Reece Dot and John Matthews, the 3 friends have decided to found a group/MC called The Majors, his look has distincly changed since his hobby moved to bikes and crime again, although they are not well know or have much to claim as their own, i think the story has just begun with these 3 men.
Background[]
Mikey vespucci was brought up in a home mired in tragedy and family breakdown in the depths of Manchester in the UK now aged 37 living in Los Santos. His mother Sandra was 15 when she gave birth to him. Neither she nor his biological father spent much time with him, His mother had a step sister called Rita who went missing in at the age of 12 and found dead/murdered, around this time Mikey's father Anthony had been treated as a suspect over his step-son's disappearance for several years after his disappearance, even though at the same time local police also suspected that he may have been murdered by the same people who possibly murdered Rita.
For most of Mikey's childhood, he lived with his step-grandmother, Winnie vespucci, in her semi-detached house in South Manchester, Mikey left school at the age of 16 in 1999. He began work as a window cleaner and glazier, but that did not last long. He was falling into the crime life his mother did not want him to be in, His mother stated, "I knew he was into something shady because you don't claim dole and drive around in a flash car". By 2006, Mikey was driving a Ford Sierra RS Cosworth, worth around £20,000.
His grandmother knew Mikey was involved in illegal activities when her house was raided by police. Mikey refused to answer Winnie's questions about his criminal activities, telling her to "Mind your own Fucking business...".
By this point Sandra and Winnie had had enough and decided to intervene in his affairs, they had been in touch with his uncle in paleto, "White Tony" he was known as, he was also led went in the same sort of direction when he was growing up but had the sense to get away on his own, Mikey does not seem to be taking this on board, but anyway White Tony came from paleto to Manchester to see Mikey and have it out with him, Mikey wanted nothing to do with this at first, but after some talking and some fighting, not just arguing, black eyes, bust noses and lots of blood on the floor, Mikey decided to give in and listened.
White Tony had told him the life he is having in paleto, he was living in a shack when he first went and now he is living in a nice house in los santos, He had a great job Truck driving and see's the sights everyday, This definitely interested tony, seemed like a quit place, a fun place, well after he had many words and stories with White Tony he decided to leave with Tony and start a new life, by this time he would have been in his early 30's.
Once in paleto bay he took over his uncles old Shack he lived in, it was currently vacant as the last tenants overdosed on meth, this was a shock to Mikey as he thought he was getting away from this sort of thing, but it seems in paleto it was a big money maker for the locals, he got friendly with a woman next Shack up, she had a young boy Named Michael, this made him smile as he reminded him of himself as a young boy, at this point as the boy was playing in the sand with his police car making noises as they do "WEEE WOOO, WEE WOO", and shots were fired, motorbikes flying past, mother screaming as the sand flew up in the air over Michael, Mikey's first reaction was to leap in front of Michael and the mother, Mikey felt a shot to the leg and then all went quiet, motorbikes of to the distance, one bike down with a body crushed under it with just a whimper of breath left in him. Luckily no one with Mikey was hurt, Little Michael was just covered in sand, mother full of tears and Mikey nothing but a scrape on his leg with some running blood down his leg, it will survive, the male under the bike was less fortunate and this could have been the fate of Mikey and his neighbours, This was the point in Mikey's life he turned around to himself and said I'm going to help stop this shit!!
From that day he vowed to be clean, legal, keep moving on and up, he got him self a trucking job with his uncle, goes running everyday, he saved up the money to get an apartment in Los Santos and now attends self defence classes, not that he needed them, he just needed to change his style from attack to defensive and vowed to one day become a fully fledged LSSD Local enforcement agent with the eagerness to work his way up to Sheriff and help clean the City so this does not happen to other people, until this time he will be the law abiding citizen he knows he can be.
Mikey also has a little black book of things he wants to do in life, things he really never got to do back in the UK because of work and the rubbish weather, he has always wanted to go fishing while camping on the beach, sail on a yacht and go scuba diving, get a little bit dangerous and get involved in some street races not just cars, but bikes too, one of his biggest dreams and aspirations in life and what you would call his plan B or side hustle is to run his own business, this business would involve transporting high value goods, delivering high profile citizens to destinations keeping them safe providing a luxury taxi service for the rich to ride in style, providing Event safety and security for businesses, if for what ever reason this would not be achievable due to already existing businesses maybe either a good rivalry business or maybe join as an employee in an existing similar firm and climb the ranks, help evolve the existing one, he loves the idea of being able to protect and server and I'm sure even if he fails to get his goal of Joining the LSSD/LSPD he will find a way to protect and server, there are so many options out there and sky is the limit
There are also a few things he has done already in his black book that he would love to do again, some of the things he loved doing so much he does them all the time, sky diving being one of them, he has been hurt a couple of times doing this and currently has a metal plate in his shin because of this but Mikey is a little dangerous and an adrenaline junky, Jumping off mount chiliad while riding a bike, with a parachute of course, also he enjoys trekking up the mountain, it can be dangerous in the blistering sun, he enjoys hunting in the mountains too, he was once attacked by a wild cat while waiting in a bush, that was not a fun day for Mikey being hunted while he was hunting, he was getting bored up until this pint and now loves Hunting, i know mental right who would have thought, anyone normal would have never gone there again, now Mikey wants the head on his wall, there's so many other crazy things in this book some not even written yet, still lots to see, lots to do.
