I own half a dozen expensive properties and umbrella companies, I have millions of dollars in the bank, and all of Rockstar’s NPCs treat me like a very serious criminal. They say that absolute power corrupts absolutely. I leapfrogged off that success to take a senator-style role in the fictional state of San Andreas. My character is Becks Lawson, a fashion mogul who founded the fashion magazine and lifestyle brand CLOUT, which is like Cosmo meets Vogue. This is a server where you have to buckle up your seat belts, obey traffic laws, and you can go to jail for reckless driving. I’m a player on the New Day role-play server for Grand Theft Auto Online, which offers a much more realistic and grounded look at the criminals-versus-cop fantasy of the franchise. These are the Broker Boys, some of the most violent criminals in all of San Andreas, and I am about to hire them to put my enemies in the river for a series of deeply petty reasons.

My friend Jericho Delmonta ushers a notorious group of ruffians to sit down on my white leather couch.

I’m standing by the window of my office, staring out at the skyline of Los Santos and smoking a cigarette. I’m a fashion mogul, a state representative, and a very important person.
