Martin Griggs, born and raised in Scotland, United Kingdom experience a rough upbringing. The streets were always his home, he was continuously exposed to violence and gang life, it was almost his legacy to become part of a gang. He began by smuggling drugs at an early age for other gangs, but then progressed into more serious crimes such as robbing stores, stabbings and other mid tier crimes. His mother was tired of the constant police visits which lead her to make a very difficult decision to kick Martin from her house. Martin was furious, he felt abandoned which led to him leaving the United Kingdom, and flew to the city of Los Santos.
Martin quickly picked up where he left off, in his first few days he would resume his petty crimes of stealing cars, robbing stores and selling a few drugs. Through these activities he would make a brother-like friend, Kanan Stark. This was until Martin and Kanan got their hands on a .50 Pistol through a few connections he made. The power that gun possessed changed Martins life. He began robbing people and possibly messing with others much higher than him but he did not care he felt like he had all the power in the world. This confidence was further heightened when Kanan and Martin found themselves in their first ever shootout. They were heavily out numbered by individuals with much more advanced weaponry. However, despite the odds, they came out on top which led to Martin realising he has a natural talent with guns.
Martin joined a few low level gangs, however they all fell through. This was until he met Deandre Boreland at the Police impound. They got talking about the Ballas and how they were looking for new members. Martin felt like he fit the description perfectly. Eventually, Martin got a call to head down to Grove Street where he would meet multiple members of the Balla gang. This resulted in Martin getting the opportunity to ride out with the Ballas, running drug labs. Just outside Sea Labs, a gunfight broke out. Martin knew this was his opportunity. He leaped out his car, .50 in hand and began moving towards the gunfire. He stumbled across Kanan who had already shot one of them, however one of them got the jump on us, lurking in a bush with a Micro-SMG. Martin raised his weapon and killed the armed man on the spot, no hesitation. He felt in that moment, a relief, that he has hopefully proved himself. He got back to Grove and Tony Solicetto called him and Kanan over.
It was great news, they had decided to give Martin and Kanan a position in the Ballas. Finally, somewhere Martin could call home. After feeling abandoned by his mother, he found a new family. He slowly met and got to know more and more members. He continued to show his worth to the Ballas, through multiple shootouts, helping other members but also showing respect. Martin knows he is a loyal and respectful member and hopes to continue to prove that through different scenarios to hope to one day fully cement his position in the Ballas.
The Story continues to be written every single day.....
