QUICK BACKGROUND. (FULL BIO HERE)

tw mention of abuse, car accident, death, illness

Marta Mendez became pregnant by her abusive boyfriend at 17 and subsequently was kicked out by her parents, who were very old-fashioned and refused to support her. Determined to not let this be her story, she decided to leave town and her entire life behind in search of something better. Eventually she settled in Reno, Nevada, where Ramon was born.

After a couple years between jobs she started working as a stripper, finding it to be her best option for bringing decent amounts of cash in. As a result, Ramon spent a lot of his childhood running around the back the club where Marta worked. A very unconventional upbringing, but all that he remembers from that time was being surrounded by a lot of love and support.

Marta eventually met and married a high ranking member of the Sons of Mayhem named Oscar, who became a father figure to Ramon and introduced him to the MC. They became like his second family, and he vowed to one day become a member himself.

With college out of reach due to money problems, Ramon worked at a bar after high school to support himself and figure out his future. During this time, he formally began prospecting for the MC, slowly earning his place within the club.

A few years later, Ramon and his stepdad were in a devastating car accident, which unfortunately cost Oscar his life. Watching EMTs and paramedics try to save his life sparked something in him, and after taking time to grieve he decided to become a paramedic.

As he moved up in the MC, his loyalty and medical expertise earned him the position of Tail Gunner, where he became indispensable during runs.

A few years ago, Marta was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, forcing Ramon to step up as her primary caregiver. He used the savings his stepdad had left behind to cover her care, and about a year ago her condition worsened to the extend where he needed to put her in a round the clock care facility. Because of this, Ramon started taking shifts at a bar to bring in some extra cash. It's a lot to handle, but truthfully he feels like he owes it to her after all she's sacrificed for him over the years.

HEADCANONS.

Ramon never slows down. Though constantly moving, he likes to keep himself occupied whether that be going out or hanging with friends, picking up extra shifts, attending to club business, etc. You can usually find him with a coffee or an energy drink in hand,

He's got an tabby cat named Paolo.

Not at all good with money. Once the bills are paid, it's pretty much a free for all for him. Someone get this man a financial advisor.

An impeccable dance partner, but a terrible karaoke singer. That won't stop him, though.

Not Good At Commitment. He tends to put any relationships he gets into on the backburner with everything else he has going on, and because of that he's very hesitant to start anything serious with anyone. He'll try, but ultimately talks himself out of a lot of potentially Good Things for fear they will end badly.

WANTED CONNECTIONS / QUICK IDEAS.

Friends - he's pretty easy to get along with! grew up on the north side, very much that scraggly kid running around the neighborhood making friends, so lot's of opportunity for more long-standing friendships.

Enemies - very affable but doesn't mean he's perfect. always happy to explore more negative connections. he can be obnoxious at times, rub people the wrong way if they aren't into that same energy,

Exes (male/female) - absolutely atrocious at dating. has not had many relationships last more than six months, so take that as you will.

Past or present flings/FWB (female/make) - This Man Is A Whore

Drinking/clubbing buddies - please get him a drink! he doesn't have the money, save his bank account before he drains it!

Co-workers/medical professionals - he's a paramedic, so if your character works at the hospital or the fire station chances are they know each other.

MC members - BUDDIESSS (or not, tension is always fun)

Open to anything, there's VERY little I'll say no to!
