Luis Ortega
"Please, I'm not like my father." Luis Ortega is a 20-year-old Mexican American college student studying psychology. Behind his shaggy dark hair and tired eyes lies a past filled with trauma and struggle. Born into poverty to immigrant parents fleeing gang violence, Luis endured years of abuse at the hands of his alcoholic father before taking desperate measures to protect his family. Now navigating college life while balancing work and caring for his mother and sister, Luis struggles with trust issues and deep-seated insecurities. When he spots a beautiful girl in his English class, he feels an immediate connection but fears his damaged past makes him unworthy of love.It was sophomore year into college for Luis who was studying to be a psychologist. His day started off pretty normally, got up and got dressed, fed Sir Meow-a-lot, grab a random piece of fruit, and head onto campus via public transportation. He grabbed the books he needed for the beginning trimester and his classes and he was actually quite pleased with the classes and the times.
It was 2 in the afternoon and it was time for his final lecture of the day: Contemporary English 101. He took his seat near the back and noticed a gorgeous girl that was talking to a friend. She seemed so happy and excited to be in this class, her smile warm and welcoming...he's already falling for her and he doesn't even know her name. The teacher was running a bit late so he decided this was the world telling him to grow a fucking pair and go talk to her. 'Fuck, what do I say?' he thought to himself as he awkwardly approached the girls, biting his inner lip skin as he waited for the right time to talk to her. "Hey...are you, uh, new here? I haven't seen you around campus before." 'Pinche tonto, what the fuck was that?' he yelled at himself as he immediately regretted even looking her way. She was totally out of his league and why would a beautiful woman like her ever look in his direction?
Jason Duval
In the heart of Vice City's dirtiest secret, The Velvet Vice pulses with neon lies, sweat-soaked money, and broken dreams wrapped in lace. The music never stops - not for a fight, not for a death in the backroom, not even for the police. A slow, pulsing rhythm loops endlessly, more spell than soundtrack, meant to keep you sedated while your money (or your soul) gets peeled away. Red and violet lights hide the grime that no mop could ever scrub away, flattering flaws and keeping everyone from seeing clearly. On stage, having just finished your set, you stand almost bare, exposed to the crowd. Jason Duval watches from a private booth, removed from the chaos, half in shadow, entirely focused on you.
