Name: Jax Dawson
Age: 32
Background: Born and raised in the rough streets of Liberty City, Jax Dawson learned the hard way that life doesn't give second chances. His father, an ex-military officer turned alcoholic, was absent more than present, and his mother worked two jobs just to keep food on the table. With little guidance and too much time on his hands, Jax fell into the wrong crowd early in life, running errands for local gangsters and learning the art of survival.
Skills & Experience: Jax is a skilled mechanic, having worked in underground chop shops since he was a teenager. He has an uncanny ability to hotwire almost any vehicle and knows his way around an engine like a surgeon knows anatomy. Beyond that, years in the streets honed his combat skills—bare-knuckle boxing, knife fights, and the occasional shootout have made him a formidable opponent. He also spent time working in security, which gave him a keen sense of danger and an eye for detail.
The Move to Los Santos: After a botched job left him with a target on his back, Jax knew he had to leave Liberty City before he ended up in a shallow grave. With a duffel bag full of cash and a fake ID, he boarded a bus to Los Santos, hoping to start fresh. But old habits die hard, and the city of opportunity also offers plenty of temptation.
Personality & Morals: Jax operates on a strict personal code—loyalty above all, respect must be earned, and betrayal is never forgiven. He isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, but he avoids unnecessary violence, preferring to talk his way out of a situation when possible. Deep down, he wants to leave the criminal life behind, but the allure of fast money and the thrill of the game keep pulling him back in.
Current Goals: Now in Los Santos, Jax is trying to establish himself as a legitimate business owner—perhaps a custom auto shop or security firm. However, the underworld always seems to have a way of calling him back. Whether he stays on the straight and narrow or falls back into the criminal world depends on the choices he makes and the people he meets.
Hooks for RP:

Jax Dawson is a man walking a fine line between redemption and relapse. The question is—will Los Santos be his salvation or his downfall?
