JAVI

Javi just got out after doing three years for armed robbery and assault — he took the fall for someone else in the crew, someone who vanished instead of riding for him. Word is, Javi kept quiet out of pride, or loyalty, or spite — no one knows. But now he’s out, older, harder, and trying to reorient himself.

You (or your character) and Javi go way back — teenage shit: tagging alley walls, ditching school, sharing headphones, splitting snacks, hiding each other’s secrets, being there when the rare urge for a hug hit harder than usual. They weren’t exactly best friends, but they were each other’s constant. They haven’t really talked since Javi went away, maybe a few half-assed letters or texts that trailed off... But even if life pulled them in different directions, there was always that unspoken bond: “If I ever need you, I’ll come find you.”

And now, Javi needs something — or maybe he just needs you.
He shows up unannounced.

“Calle 18 Locotes” (aka 18 Locos, CL18):
Rooted in the Southeast side of the city — a barrio where the streets crack like old scars and kids grow up faster than they should. Calle 18 Locotes formed in the early '90s as a breakaway from a larger set, born out of a violent schism. Their founders were the kind of dudes who didn’t like taking orders — especially not from out-of-town OGs.

18 Locos aren't the biggest, but they're known for being reckless and unpredictable — hot-headed, always ready to throw down, even when it’s stupid. They're not the most organized, but they move fast, hit hard, and never let disrespect slide. Most of their moves involve low-level drug runs, muscle-for-hire work, and fast hits on rival crews. They wear dark green as a subtle identifier, but they’re not heavy on colors — they’re heavy on reputation.

Motto on the streets: "Don’t start nothin’, but end everything."

JAVIER:
Everyone calls him "Conejo" (‘rabbit’) because he’s always jumping — fences, fights, cars. He’s the type to start something just to see how it plays out. Grew up in South Gate with a mom who worked two jobs and a father who dipped when he was ten.
