[Andy Alanis - "Local Black Sheep" - Open]
Andy left home to travel as a garage band's drummer. When they fell apart, stranding him in Los Sueños, he took on a job at Gary's Gear & Guitars with the intention of saving enough cash to get home. However, things took a turn when he became attached to the shop. He was still around a year later when Gary purportedly passed from a heart-attack. Having no kids of his own, he supposedly left it all to Andy in his will, but local old biddies share their doubts. Who would leave their life's work to a washout that just moved in? The kids seem to like him, but he's likely brainwashing them with grass and games in his upstairs "lounge". Suspicion circulates. While he tries to be a good proprietor, he's not above pranking, blaring music, and roaming the streets under the influence, leaning into his sordid reputation for kicks.
"Gary's has a goal: it's all about the music, but there's no music without musicians and fans. We've gotta be like... messengers of the gods, you feel me? We get the blessing of sweet sounds and tools of the trade, then we pass them on to the public. Musicians need the right gear. Fans need to be exposed to the right sounds. We're a couple of Hermes put on this plane to get it to them."
["Al" Gonzáles - "Aloof Rancher" - Open]
Work hard, play seldom. Alejandra is known for her diligence, dry humor, paranoia, and a stark intolerance for bullshit. When she isn't busy building callouses, she might be found pulled up to a bar or revisiting old haunts in the city. Strikingly unfazed by the horrific stories that plague Los Sueños. So long as they don't reach her property line, why should she be bothered? Even though she lives alone, there are an awful lot of vehicles constantly coming and going down her dirt road. Maybe it isn't too odd considering she runs a business, not to mention the pay-to-use shooting range.

| HIDE YOUR SONS AND HIDE YOUR DAUGHTERS! Much to the dismay of the pearl clutching suburbanites' whose children he's corrupting with his Satanic serenades, our lovable scoundrel drove into town one hot summer day and never left. With little money and few feasible aspirations to speak of, Wolfgang's lived out of his vehicle in Red Oaks ever since: an experience that's less #vanlife and more #methheads, #shittinginthewoods, and #parkingtickets. Oh, yeah, and there's the friendly neighborhood Slasher, too. He's got a survival plan for Mr. Stab Your Girl that would make Kevin McCallister proud ʸᵒᵘ ᵏⁿᵒʷ ᶦᶠ ᴴᵒᵐᵉ ᴬˡᵒⁿᵉ ʷᵃˢ ᵃⁿ ⁸⁰ˢ ᵐᵒᵛᶦᵉ. Needless to say, his energy is described as "intense" on better days, and "holy shit what is this guy on" on the not so better ones. |

FATE'S GOT NOTHING ON ME. Destined as second in line to a prominent Hillside Heights family, Bobby was groomed to be a leader before he could say "bourgeoisie" (he still can't). Obedience was never his style, but despite having seven legitimate siblings to choose from, passing the crown was easier said than done. Bobby's attempt at career suicide earned him a temporary "vacation" in the countryside. His talent for taking things apart was soon put to use during an apprenticeship at Axlerad Auto, where he learned how to put them back together again. The value of hard work inspired him to shed his illustrious surname for the most mundane one he could think of—a noble effort to claim those accomplishments as his own. |

...Which would sound pretty damn good on paper were it not a rare show of maturity from the real Bobby Brown. Brimming with the youthful arrogance and inexperience typical to men his age, his disregard for authority has landed him in hot water more times than he can count. The last thing he wants to be is wrong, and thus the teen is forever subject to his self-centered (read: destructive) tendencies and the endless pursuit of a good time.
