Chapter 6: It’s A Date Arrow had been dating Urban for about five months now, despite their rocky past. In those five months they had both been in and out of the city many times for various reasons. Arrow decided that the next time Urban left her apartment, she would take Urban on a cute date. Arrow just wanted them to be able to sit and relax while enjoying each others company for once rather than running around with their separate gangs. Arrow confided in her mother, Rose Drake, to ask for advice on a cute date she could take Urban on. Rose didn’t have much advice because her fiancé, Caesar, never took her on dates. Arrow brought up the idea of doing a picnic on the beach and Rose agreed it was a great idea. The next day, Arrow sent Urban a text: The next time you decide to leave your apartment I want to take you on a date. Would you be down for that? Love you. Xoxo Urban responded: You’re so cute. Of course I would. Arrow quickly hopped in her Komoda and headed to the store. She grabbed two bottles of wine, two bottles of vodka, two sandwiches, a blanket, and a basket. She put all the food in the basket and put it in the trunk of the Komoda with the blanket. Then she pulled up to Urbans HQ and picked her up. “Where are we going for this date?” asked Urban. “It’s a surprise! You’ll see!” Arrow responded. Arrow sped to a quiet, isolated spot on the beach where they wouldn’t be bothered. Of course, she did a few burnouts in the sound before she parked. She pulled out the blanket and basket, making a spot for them to sit. “This is cute, you’re cute.” Urban said. “I’m not cute, ew, gross, just sit down.” Arrow stated. Arrow absolutely hated being called cute. She’d probably stab anyone who said it, besides Urban. The two of them sat and talked for hours, went for a swim, and even got a visit from Arrow’s son, Terrance. It was a calm, peaceful afternoon on the beach, something the two of them weren’t quite used to. And it brought them even closer together.

I couldn't agree more with this post. A lot of the criminal life has turned into Ruleplaying. Criminals don't want to get in shootouts because if their reasoning doesn't EXACTLY fit what the rules say is a valid reason for violence, the other party can report them. And if the admin see anything that doesn't suit their fancy, you're banned. All because you wanted to have some action and progress the RP. I agree that some of the reports are for valid reasons. But a lot of the time its people that are bitter they lost and so their goal becomes to get that person banned from the server. No one can accept a loss anymore.

Great work guys! Can't wait to see how the restructure goes!

Great work man! Glad to see you're keeping the hood alive!

Loving this thread guys! The city really needed some pink in it! Can't wait to see more.

Chapter 5: An Arrow Finds her Bow At this point, Arrow had established herself in the city. Everyone knew who she was and if they didn’t, they would. One person in particular could not keep herself away from Arrow. That was Arae LaRose. Arae was the first person that introduced herself to Arrow. And Arrow had been there for all of Arae’s relationships and breakups. She had been a shoulder to cry on, a person to give her advice and console her. Arae had brought out Arrow’s soft side. Arrow quickly became attached to Arae and wanted to protect her. After all, that's what she did, she protected those she loved. She would not let Arae get involved with any gangs and she kept what she did as much of a secret as possible. She wanted to marry Arae. She knew she was the one, but Arae had so many problems that she needed to work through. Arrow gave her an ultimatum, once she handled her alcohol problem she would marry her. Arrow chose to give Arae some space. Arae couldn’t handle being alone and found some new things to spend her time with while she waited for Arrow. She brought her new beau to meet Arrow on the pier, her name was Urban Madine. Arrow became extremely jealous and threatened to kill Urban if Arae ever brought her around again. Soon after, Arae was deported. Arrows hate ended up bringing her closer to Urban instead of further apart. She just wanted to fill the void that Arae left in her heart. Arrow and Urban started spending more and more time together. When their gangs didn’t have them doing something, they were at the pier hanging out. The problem was, Arrow couldn’t be the person that Urban needed. She couldn’t be vulnerable enough or let her guard down. Arrow never had unconditional love. She never had a father, and her mother wasn’t much of one. She was never taught how to love someone or how to let her guard down and trust. She trusted no one, including Urban. And she wouldn’t let her heart be broken or tampered with. Urban soon found a new partner but her and Arrow continued to stay in touch because they were always good friends to each other.

Chapter 4: A New Life Arrow arrived in Los Santos with 500,000 dollars from her last product drop. She used this money to buy an apartment, and a few cars to get around but also be discreet. She had just run away from the largest gang in Tokyo, after all, and had to watch her back at all times. Arrow’s goal was to lay low. She bought a fishing pole and started hanging out at the pier. Fishing was a decent way to make a living and a very normal way of living. She made many friends on the pier and even some romantic interests she later pursued. Arrow knew which people were in gangs. She could tell by their demeanour, the way they dressed, and the way they behaved. They would leave suddenly and come back with no explanation. No one knew Arrow’s past so no one knew the knowledge she possessed. One day while fishing, Arrow met Rose Drake who was a member of the Grim Reapers. Her and Rose became instant friends. Rose saw a lot of potential in Arrow and introduced her to the leader of Grim Reapers, Caesar Ares. Arrow told Caesar about her experience with drug running. She did not tell him about how high in the organization she was because she was still trying to lay as low as possible. Caesar welcomed her into the gang with open arms. One day, Arrow got a call from one of her fellow gang members. He was on foot running from the cops. Without hesitation, Arrow hopped in her car and picked up her friend. Unfortunately, the cops saw him get in her car and began pursuing Arrow. The chase went from the city to Paleto and back. It lasted longer than Arrow could have ever expected but eventually they had barricaded the car and destroyed it. Arrow was sent to prison for nine years. Funny enough, Caesar was already in the Department of Corrections. This was a friendly reunion for both of them. While in prison, another inmate had made some derogatory remarks about Arrow. Caesar attacked the inmate and Arrow got caught in the crosshairs. While being treated in the medbay, they noticed a similarity in their blood tests. Arrow asked the nurse if they could test the blood on a DNA test. The nurse, more so out of curiosity than anything, agreed to have the test done. Arrow and Caesar waited impatiently in their cells to hear the results. How could something like this happen? Did Arrow finally find her father? In Los Santos? The nurse came back about ten hours later with the results. She pulled both Caesar and Arrow into the medbay to give them the answer they had been waiting for. It was true. Caesar was Arrow’s father. Both of their worlds had been flipped upside down.

Chapter 3: Back to her Roots Suki was diagnosed with skin cancer and it was Arrow's job to take care of her sick mother. After seeing the cost of chemotherapy, Kenji refused to help. Although, they all knew he had the money to do so. He wanted Arrow to join the Yakuza. So he gave her no choice. She had to join in order to have the money to pay her mother’s medical bills. Soon, Arrow was a drug runner for the gang. It was something she knew how to do. But Kenji wanted her to do more than that. He wanted her to be deeper because he saw her potential. He gave her the role of managing their entire drug trade. Arrow met with other organizations in Tokyo and often travelled outside of Tokyo to make business deals. She was in charge of very large amounts of money and making sure they made it to the gang treasury safely. It was a risky business, but all Arrow was worried about was Suki. Things had gotten worse. Suki was quickly deteriorating and the chemotherapy wasn’t working. Arrow was too busy to stay home with her and hired a stay-in nurse. Her mother needed to be comfortable, that was the most important thing. Arrow was in Shenyang, China dropping off an order when Kenji called her. “She’s gone, Arrow.” This broke her. She took the cash from her client and immediately got on the jet. She did not want to go back to Tokyo. She didn’t care what the risks were if she left the Yakuza. Arrow set course to a random city and took the cash with her. Arrow had arrived in Los Santos.

Chapter 2: New York City New Beginnings Arrow landed in New York City at five o’clock in the morning. She had picked the earliest flight she could to escape Tokyo and Kenji. She got a job at the local Sushi restaurant and rented a loft above it that belonged to the owner. He allowed her to stay there as long as she worked for him. After a few months of studying and taking classes, Arrow was able to pass the citizenship test and become a legal citizen of the United States. She belonged here now. Once she settled, Arrow began her search for her father. She had a picture of him in her wallet that she found on her mother’s nightstand when she was just a young girl. He had short, dark hair, an athletic build, and some other very charming features. The back of the picture had his name on it. She took the picture to the local police station to see if they could identify the man. When searching the database they had found that he was sent back to his home country of Ireland to serve a six year prison sentence. This was painful for Arrow to hear. Both of her parents were criminals. Both of her parents were useless to her. Even if her father would have stayed, it wouldn’t have done her any good. Arrow had lost all hope. She worked her days in the Sushi restaurant, chopping up fish and cleaning dishes. She had no life skills. She had no education. She had nothing. Five years later, Arrow got a long distance phone call from Kenji. He said that her mother, Suki, was sick. He paid for her to see a doctor and they were waiting on the results. Arrow had to go back to Tokyo.

Chapter 1: Arrow Through the Heart Arrow Hatake has never had it easy. There are many reasons why she keeps her guard up when she is meeting new people or pursuing love interests. She cannot allow herself to be hurt the way she has been her whole life. She moved to Los Santos to get away from the pain. Let’s begin. Arrow was conceived by Suki Hatake and an unknown man in New York City, New York in November of 1996. Suki had been in NYC for vacation with her friends from University. She was only twenty years old with no family. It was only supposed to be a one night stand. And now she was pregnant with an American man's child. Arrow was born in Tokyo, Japan in August of 1997. Suki was a single mom and did not have any family. Both of her parents had passed away when she was young and she was raised in foster care. It was safe to say she was lost in raising Arrow by herself. With no one to guide her, Suki raised Arrow in a studio apartment in the middle of Tokyo, one of the busiest cities in the world. She had no money, no job, and she had to drop out of University. There was only one thing left to do in a city like this, join the life of crime. It was the only way she could find the money to support her child. Suki put three month old Arrow in the stroller and ventured off into the city. She went into the marketplace where she knew the members of Yakuza, a famous Tokyo gang, hung around. She found a street rat that was able to point her in the direction of his ranking officer. After meeting with some of the organizers of the gang, Suki agreed to start selling heroin out of her apartment. It was the only way she could make sure Arrow was still being supervised. As Arrow got older, she also became involved in the gang. Suki sent six year old Arrow to transport bags of money to the gang leaders and bring the bag of heroin back to the apartment. No one would suspect a young child of possessing such terrible things. Arrow knew what was happening. She knew what life her mother lived. But she also knew they had no other choice. They could never leave the Yakuza. When Arrow was ten years old she began noticing changes in her mother. She would leave for nights at a time and come home beaten, bruised. Her mother had become involved with the leader of the organization, Kenji. His name meant “Strong” and it showed in the bruises on her mother. Eight years later, Arrow could finally leave this place. She had no ties to the gang. Those all belonged to her mother. And she could not stand to see her mother being beaten any longer. She told Suki and Kenji she was leaving, going to New York City to find her father. Kenji laughed in her face and said, “I am your father, child. I have raised you since you were just a baby.” Arrow replied, “You have beaten my mother and ruined her beautiful face. I will not be treated the same.” Suki was drowning in tears but did not say a word. If she spoke, Kenji would beat her. So, Arrow grabbed a bag and headed to the airport, to new beginnings.
