Norman Bones is a character role-played by Ziggy.
General Description[]
Norman Bones is a Private Investigator in Los Santos. He doesn't like people very much and tends to keep to himself, never actively engaging in conversation.
Due to his longtime chain-smoking, he has a very deep raspy voice, as he explains when others ask him about it. He's quick to pick up on small details, tellings, and mannerisms with those he speaks to. Norman views any vulnerability in a person as an easy way to manipulate them and gain trust in him.
Background Information[]
Norman and his brother were born and raised in a small town in Alaska. Throughout their younger years of living with their parents, they were abused mentally and physically.
During these years, Norman experienced his first sighting of death. He witnessed as a cat impaled itself on a broken fence post, and died as he stood watching. This event switched something in Norman's brain, making him want to see more, and eventually warping his mind to the point of believing that he is Death itself.
When the brothers were old enough to plan their escape from the abuse, they took action in the form of killing their parents. His brother was tasked with killing their mother (due physical stature/age), and Norman killed their father.
The brothers parted ways shortly thereafter, and lead separate lives for several decades with no communication. Norman became a lawyer, and his brother went on to study medicine, and become a hematologist in Liberty City.
In January 2019, shortly after his brother began work in Los Santos, the two brothers were reunited at Pillbox Medical during one of Norman's visits.
City Experience[]
After the city wipe, Norman returned. He was seen crawling back up the docks at the Lighthouse, where his body had been laid to rest.
Norman is now primarily a lawyer in Los Santos, easily blending in with the public; masking his secret life as a serial killer. He is well-known for winning cases, and a known menace go against in court.
Outside of being a lawyer, his current long term "projects" involve unraveling and manipulating the minds of Tessa Lamb/Mary Wolf and Jessie Skid.
Norman still holds a deep connection to the Lighthouse; conducting meetings there with his brother and others, and in the process of trying to secure the house located directly on the cliffside overlooking it.
