[LORENZO AKA PA-PA] Male, early 20s, Black, Jabar’s best friend from childhood. Masculine, but with the soft

protect. Takes on responsibility, as she cares deeply about her family. Growing up, she spent a lot of time inside,

[DEZI] Male, 40s, Black. Jabar’s long-time drug supplier. Cutthroat when it comes to his business. Intense. Charismatic. His threatening unpredictability holds a presence.
