Personality:

DJ is a fun loving guy. He lives life to the fullest and docent let anyone interfere with it. You can usually find him rapping a freestyle or Beat boxing. He's a sports man you name it he plays it or has tried it before. But DJ finds his real passion in giving back to the community weather it be community service or church related.

DJ loves music jazz ,Bbob ,funk, rap if its got rhythm he'll shake some rug to it. DJ loves to party thats probably why he took up the frat boy lifestyle. But watch out though hes has been known to to be sneaky and a prankster. Very sentimental If you need him give him a ring his shoulders always there to cry on. He's a real funny guy he's got millions of jokes if the Priesthood career doesn't work then he can always be a stand up comedian. But he does have a short temper but hes working on it but he still randomly gets to the point where he wants to smash someones face in. He spent most his life in a church run by Priest Leon Skovich.

But DJ has a very dark past not many prople know about so when it comes to the past he rather not dweel on it to much. Though he hasn't been a part of the bloods in about 2 years he still sleeps with one eye open.

Appearance:

DJ has a muscular body. He lifts weights and runs track on a daily basis. During the summer he is a Volunteer life guard, so from saving tourist and fat kids in inertubes from impending doom he achieved a very fit physique. He has chiseled stomach you could take a picture of it and hang it in a museum its so pretty. He weighs about 215 pounds and is 6'4" tall.

He has black hair and wears it in fade style usally its covered up by a hat though. He has carmel brown eyes, there probably the main reason hes had so many ladies. Like his hat Devyn usally wears his avators wherever he goes, and if hes not wearing them there hanging from his shirt cpllar.

He has a 2 inch scar on the inside of his right arm from a "soccer tournament" when he was thirteen. He has a tattoo of a microphone on his left shoulder. And he has the bloods tattoo on his Pectoral muscle since he was apart of the gang, since then he's added two tear drops underneath it to represent his brother and best friend who but died in gang related incidents,he witnessed both. and on his shoulder is a cross that says He saves in cursive writing.

History:

DJ Manhattan has had quite and intresting life. To begin with at age six His parents died in a car crash leaving only him and his brother to fend for them self. To make matters worse 6 months later he witnessed his brother AJ being shoot down by a rival gang in the door way of there Detroit home. DJ ,filled with anger and hate for all, ran away from home a few times and spent many of nights in detention centers. As soon as he turned 13 he joined the bloods to seek redemption for his brothers death.
Gang fight after gang fight left DJ broken and alone, he thought nothing of a world that thought nothing of him. Truthfully the only Thing DJ did care about was his best friend Willie. He and willie had been friends since childhood. They were also the founder of the Detroit freeze B boy crew. But when your both in a gang theres not much room for dancing. It seemed no matter what the situation may be Willie always had his back weather it be fights or deals Willie was always there for guidance and if not that protection. They were inseparable. DJ thought they would be friends forever.

Until one day. DJ had been sent to fight a rival member from across town and he wasn't going in alone he brought Willie and two other members to the fight for backup if need be. After about ten minutes of fighting DJ won the bout but at what cost? After the fight his opponent pulled a gun on him. Willie was the first to see him and lunge at him to knock it out of his hand but wasn't quick enough and was shoot in the heart. Out of rage DJ punched the guy in the face making him fumble the gun . DJ had been in fights before but none where death was in his mind all he could think as he repeatedly punched the guy in the face was how much he wanted to see him bleed and hurt the way he did. After minutes of beating DJ began to walk off but then he saw it, the gun was right in front of him like as if it was meant to be. As he picked up the the gun and unload eight bullets into the guy who had ended Willies life. After this all DJ could think to do was run. Fearing for his life he ran to the nearest phone and called 911. He rushed back to Willie and held him i his arms and cried by the time the paramedics got there He was dead.

With no family left DJ left Detroit and moved to California. He found himself in the one place he thought he would never be again a church. After years of living in the church DJ devoted his life to his faith. In What seemed like a life time DJ had finally found people to call a family and a place to call home. After a year or so DJ admitted his sins of murder to the Leon the Priest who had some what became a father figure to him. He only smiled and said, "My son do not worry the lord has forgiven you of this sin you are now free." Devyn knows that he is forgivin in gods eyes but will he ever be able to be forgivin in his own?
