This but also, hi Jake.

Continued.. Jaylen tried to get himself settled in the city. He had an easy time finding work as a freelancer. He had gotten a job servicing ATM machines throughout Los Santos. And afterwards, he found himself working for city sanitation and worked in garbage disposal. Working these jobs meant steady income but he often worked alone and wanted to work alongside others. He was recommended by a stranger to try fishing at the pier because a lot of people would go there to work and socialize. So Jaylen bought himself a fishing rod and headed to the pier. The Rising Suns So for some time, Jaylen would interact with whoever was up to engage in conversation while at the pier. Fishing wasn’t the highest paying work but it allowed him to check off that social aspect he desired. However the pier could be a fairly chaotic place and not always safe to be at. It would be fairly common for fights and shootouts to happen while Jaylen was there trying to fish. So wanting to find a more quiet place to fish, Jaylen left the pier and drove along the Vespucci Canal for a place where he could safely fish. He found a group of people dressed in red and white along with several other people fishing alongside the canal. He pulled up to them, asking if it was okay for him to fish alongside them. He was met with questions from a man he would come to later find out was named Damien Deuce. Damien simply asked Jaylen to check his license and asked if he was a cop or not. After confirming that Jaylen was not a cop, they gave the okay to hang out and fish with them. Jaylen came to find out the name of the group in red and white was called The Rising Suns. As he got to know them better, he got glimpses of what he thought were criminal activities that RS did besides fishing and they made it appear so lucrative. With the possible opportunities to make more money alongside people he got along with, Jaylen wanted to be a part of RS. After hanging around RS for some time, Jaylen eventually was eventually given an opportunity to become a member. RS was going through a rebuild of sorts and so many members he had gotten to know had all left and gone on to do other things. So Jaylen officially became part of the rebuilding process for RS. During this, he met people such as Drake Hunter, who had become known for orchestrating well thought out bank heists, and people like Joshua Reese and Brandon Winters who were new to the scene like Jaylen and trying to make their mark in the city. While getting along with most of RS, Jaylen became especially good friends with Eric Simco and Kiana Adams and often spent a lot of time talking with them. However, aside from making friends and spending a lot of time fishing, Jaylen found himself wanting to do more. He wanted more lucrative opportunities. Any time Jaylen was awake around, he found that RS was never really up for doing much outside of fishing and socializing. People were not taking any initiative and if Jaylen had attempted to start something, people were apprehensive because of a possible police response. Jaylen found himself becoming increasingly dissatisfied with RS and felt that he had been sold on an image of RS and how it was supposed to be and he felt that the reality fell short of the expectations set for him. Jaylen had thought he would be staying with RS permanently but was beginning to see that he just didn’t see eye to eye with the crew. Time For Change Jaylen had discovered Drake Hunter, who had established himself as command in RS was leaving to collaboratively start a crew in the city with friends of his, calling themselves the Royals. Both Brandon and Josh had gone on to join the Royals and Jaylen was beginning to heavily consider reaching out to Drake about the possibility of joining them. He wanted to do more than just talk and fish with friendly people. One day, Jaylen had stumbled upon a man wearing a mask with the signature Royals color scheme on a Bati 801 motorbike. As they began conversation, the man revealed himself to be Drake Hunter and Jaylen expressed his interest in joining the crew. Drake said he would discuss with the other leaders and get back to him. However for one reason or another, Drake unfortunately did not reach back out with a reply. A few weeks later, Jaylen came across a woman with the Royals car color scheme and approached her about his conversation with Drake. The woman introduced herself as Opal Martinez and said she worked very closely with him. So Jaylen spoke with Opal as a follow up to his conversation with Drake. The Royals On a random weekend day, Jaylen found himself with RS attending a motocross event being hosted just outside the city. During that event, Jaylen found himself coming to a disagreement with how the crew should conduct itself and his previous frustrations had pushed him past the limit of his tolerance. He firmly spoke with the leader of RS, Micah Ellis and said he would be leaving the crew. And just by pure chance, along came a group of people in Royals colors pulling up to attend the event. Jaylen thought to himself that it was now or never so he approached them about the possibility of joining. All the Royals members took off their masks and it was Drake, Brandon, Joshua, and a man he was meeting for the first time by the name of Blaze Jackson. So he explained his situation and after discussing amongst themselves, they agreed to allow Jaylen into the crew on a trial basis.

Jaylen Clarkson comes from a life of hardship. He comes from a family of poor blue collar Asian immigrants and is the firstborn child of the family in America. Jaylen was born in Los Santos, but moved away with his family to the city of Las Venturas when he was five years old because his mother had found a job there as a nurse. His father also died when he was still a baby. Growing up, Jaylen wasn't very passionate or ambitious about much of anything except for basketball. He grew up playing the sport and watched it whenever he could on television but that's as far as it went. Jaylen finished high school as a just above average student. He started working as a food server in an assisted living facility for senior citizens with no clear goal in life. Jaylen kept all of his friends from school at an arm's length and so he wasn’t close to them. He was making very little money and his family was struggling financially. Knowing this, he put immense pressure on himself to help be a provider for his family because his mother was the breadwinner of the family. She was the main person of income in the family. He began working a second job to increase his income to help his mother. After a few years of working two jobs, Jaylen realized he would eventually burn himself out if he didn't come up with a better solution. He sought advice from his mother who was the only other person making more than minimum wage in the family. She advised that Jaylen might have better luck finding a better paying job in Los Santos because it's a bigger city with more opportunities. Jaylen's mother advised that he could seek a career in law enforcement or some other government job as those gave stable pay and if one was passionate about it, would have a very fulfilling career. Jaylen's mother, having lived in Los Santos for a long time before their move to Las Venturas, advised Jaylen about the vices that Los Santos may have. It's a city with many temptations and influences. So Jaylen began preparing for a move to Los Santos. He had no contacts in Los Santos but decided to gamble and bet on himself to find success in Los Santos. If all else failed, he could go back to Las Venturas as a safety blanket. But he wanted to be on his own and be a provider without having to use his family and mother as a crutch. Jaylen packed a few belongings and booked a bus ticket to Los Santos.

+1 you don't need to use slurs to RP. If you can't RP without it, you're just hiding behind the guise of a character and "keeping it IC".
