✭・.・― have you seen SLADER ALVAREZ around monterey? every time i see the BRANDON ARREAGA lookalike, all i can think of is SKATEBOARD WHEELS ON CRACKED PAVEMENT, DIRTY MONEY, and SILVER CHAINS. known around town for their job as a PLUG, the TWENTY year old MALE is known for being RESOURCEFUL and ALTRUISTIC but could also be RECKLESS and IMPULSIVE. i don’t know if you know, but their big little lie is that HE STARTED DEALING TO PAY BACK A DEBT HIS MOTHER OWED.
. what’s gucci what’s poppin’ i’m meg i’m ready to go crazy AND stoopid with all of you ! anyways this is my weed slingin’, skateboardin’ soft boi slader and a lil bit about him !
slader grew up in the shadow of wealth, born into a low-income family in a shitty suburb on the outskirts of monterey. he was a happy kid, seemingly uninfluenced by the poverty and crime that ran rampant in the streets.
he was smart - smarter than his school and his parents were equipped to handle - so he kinda fell through the cracks. he coulda gone places had he the fortune of attending one of monterey’s private schools. part of him knows this, and that part of him can’t help but hold a grudge.
slader, like many other kids from his neighborhood, picked up skateboarding at a young age. in his adolescence, he used skateboarding to escape life’s inconveniences and, unfortunately, get through his father’s untimely passing at the age of fourteen. ( and pick up chicks, but that’s beside the point )
his dad’s death left slader the man of the house, being the oldest of four kids. he took this role seriously and despised the deadbeat men his mom shuffled through to fill the void of his father’s absence.
at sixteen, slader came home to a heated argument between his mother && her boyfriend. the boyfriend, a notorious dealer and all-around scumbag, claimed that slader’s mom got in the way of a huge deal - ultimately costing him upwards of $50k. he insisted she pay him back. she refused. he threatened to kill her.
desperate and naive, slader offered to pay off the debt. knowing damn well the kid had no money, the boyfriend made a deal with him - work off the debt and all would be settled.
of course, the ‘ work ‘ was less filing paperwork and fetching coffees && more running narcotics across the city. this was everything anyone had warned him not to become, but the kid had no choice.
slader caught on quickly. his sharp intellect, knack for numbers, and sociable nature made him the perfect plug, as much as he hated to admit it to himself. he had fallen into the trap.
fast forward a few years and the debt was paid off. for so long, slader told himself that this was the end of the road - no more after this. but he had to face it...he was good. and so was the money. while everyone else packed up and headed for college, slader packed up and headed to his shitty new apartment in downtown monterey to run with the big dogs.
TL;DR : slader grew up in a shitty neighborhood outside of monterey. he was dummy smart but didnt have the education to back it. his dad died when he was fourteen, leaving him the man of the house. at sixteen, an ~incident~ left his mother indebted to her dealer boyfriend. offering to pay it off, slader began to deal under the guidance of the boyfriend. being the smart cookie he is, slader was dummy good at it and continued after the debt was paid. now he’s running with the monterey crowd, selling drugs to corporate assholes and teenage stoners alike. also he skateboards.
