# What makes those Characters interesting or special compared to others?
#### My initial characters name is going to be Nico Izumi. He is a Japanese American male. His father was stationed in Japan and his mother is a local. He grew up without seeing his father a lot and with his busy mother working to support them, he grew up dabbling in the life of crime. In Japan he ended up joining the Yakuza with his best friend and only got as far to doing grunt work for them. Initially he was your typical hot headed young man trying to prove himself to the gang. His father being a gaijin (outsider) he always had to prove himself.  This leads to his best friend's death as a result from a clash with the Triads trying to invade Japan. He decided he doesn't want to be a apart of the Yakuza anymore and decided to flee Japan to Los Santos. I think Nico will be an interesting RolePlay addition to see the life of an ex Yakuza, trying to make a decent living, but his past influencing his current decisions. He takes what he learned from the Yakuza and tries to apply that to his new life in Los Santos.
