Editing Damian Morrison (section)

== Events of GTA RP ==

=== Establishment of the Bay Rebels ===
Solitude, as comforting as it was, couldn't fill the hollow that lingered inside him—a feeling of unfinished purpose, of being cast aside. Unexpectedly, Alexa reached out. Their contact had been minimal for years, but she proposed a private meeting on neutral ground, under the guise of offering "support." During the meeting, Alexa offered Damian a substantial sum of money as a "loan." She claimed it was an investmen but Damian could sense there was more to it. Perhaps it was guilt, or a silent apology for their father's favoritism, or simply a way to keep tabs on him. Regardless of the motive, Damian accepted the funds. With them, he began forming a vision: a group that could offer what he never had: brotherhood, identity, and protection outside the syndicate world. At first, Damian lacked the knowledge and ruthlessness to run a criminal operation. His leadership went unnoticed in the broader criminal underworld. But slowly, as he hired staff and began establishing facilities tied to arms and narcotics production, the Bay Rebels gained traction. Local respect turned into regional whispers. 

Later, when Damian got staff and criminal factories were set up Damian’s influence in Paleto Bay became to grow. Unfortunately, the other syndicates caught wind of a new competitor in the criminal underworld. [[Jim]], [[Edward McHaggis|Edward]] and [[Tony]] (Edward side kick at the time) travelled to Paleto Bay to find out who this new competitor was. When they discovered it was Damian, they kidnapped him to Mutiny Road in La Puerta and in an alley way tortured Damian.

Unlike the rest, Edward saw potential in Damian and figured if he got Damian on his side, he could take on Alexa. Jim, Tony and especially Edward and ‘showed them what they did to enemies’ (killing the competition). They also forced a truce between the Bay Rebels and the syndicates in the city. Due to the injuries of the tortured Damian was later rushed to the Central Los Santos Medical Center. Damian realised that he could not be a shy, insecure man anymore. Damian changed from a shy insecure man to a toughened individual. He also quit his antidepressants which significantly improved his condition. Damian style changed from perm haircut to a curtain's hairstyle. Later they realised that they had tortured Alexa’s brother and so the dynamic between Damian, Jim, Edward and Tony changed. He also became a corrupt cop later who was regularly stationed around San Andreas. A few months later Damian life again turned, when he learned that his uncle had an STD and was going to die. Later when Uncle Dave died and was buried at Hill Valley Church Damian began using drugs such as meth and weed.

Later in Paleto Bay, Damian met a former Navy Captain and long-time friend of Uncle Dave: [[Gerwin Cash|Captain Gerwin Cash]]. Cash and Damian both had the same ambitions to ‘show whose boss’ and they both teamed up to stand against the syndicates. Cash became Damian’s right-hand man and helped to militarize the Bay Rebels into a formable force in the region. The Bay Rebels expanded their operation in weapon manufacturing (addition of a new bunker in Raton Canyon) and increase of narcotics production (more staff and better equipment). Where Damian was more passive and wanted more of a appeasing route for the Bay Rebels, Captain Cash had a different route. Cash envisioned a more disciplined and tougher route for the Bay Rebels and Damian. Captain Cash was largely responsible for toughening up Damian.

When the Bay Rebels were slowly militarising Edward and [[Billy McBardigael|Billy]] reached out to Damian at their submarine for a plan. Edward and Billy both let Damian know that they were going to backstab Alexa and take over her territory. They offered Damian his security in Paleto Bay at the condition that Captain Cash needed to be gone and that he did not interfere with their operation. This did not sit well with Damian and secretly reached out to his sister Alexa who temporary broke off the alliance with Edward and Billy.

This resulted in a tense situation where Alexa was enemies with Billy and Edward. However, this ratting also came at a cost for Damian. At night a confrontation between Edward and Damian resulted in Damian being tortured again. This marked the end of their business relationship again. Captain Cash later met Damian in Paleto Bay and Cash encouraged Damian to keep on fighting. Damian stubbornly refused this and continued his appeasement policy. 

With a gang war in the whole of Los Santos and Blaine County involved the syndicates at stake Edward, Billy and Jim decided that Damian was going to leave or to be killed. After tense negotiation they decided to kidnap Damian yet again when Cash was checking on the bunker in Raton Canyon. Jim ordered a hit on Cash, and he was ‘killed’ (because Cash escaped the henchman). Damian was set on a plane to Canada effectively putting an end to the Bay Rebels.

=== The Long Road Back ===
Damian’s plane landed 6 hours later in Winnipeg, Canada. Damian strapped without any money and identification papers needed to find a way back to the United States. Damian travelled with a tourist bus to the city of Calgary where the US Consulate was. Damian reported that his passport was missing, and the US Consulate provide Damian with a new one. 

With all this free time Damian started working in a library for a very short time to save money for a flight to Vice City. Two weeks later Damian was on a plane from Vancouver to Vice City thanks to an unknown person who bought the ticket. This later turned out to be Captain Cash. When Damian got in Vice City, he started to work in Vice City at a mechanic shop. Later he learned that Captain Cash was still alive and so was Uncle Dave (although no-one knows at Uncle Dave is alive expect Gerwin and Damian). Captain Cash and Damian put aside their differences that happened the first time and both made a plan to return to Paleto Bay and restore the Bay Rebels and continue their mission to fight the syndicates.

=== Return to the Bay ===
After some time in Vice City, Damian with Captain Cash returned and resettled in Paleto Bay. As the Bay Rebels called it, they went for: 'Round Two.'  Cash wanted to instil some confidence in Damian, which he still lacked. Together, they began to militarize even more for the Bay Rebels to become a real threat. They acquired a Rhino Tank, a submarine (bought from a certain [[Hans Naumann|German smuggler]]), and more military-grade gear. The Bay Rebels actively started with skirmishes on the supply lines of the syndicates on the Great Ocean Highway and Route 68, destroying drugs, weapon imports, and exports. 

Against Captain Cash’s wishes Damian sought out a new ally in his cousin [[Alexei]] who resided in Sandy Shores. Together they combined their efforts and sought out [[McBardigael Farm|Billy’s farm]] south of Bolingbroke Penitentiary and destroyed it.

This angered the syndicates in the city (except Alexa who abstained on anything Damian related) launched a special operation to disable the Bay Rebels. After a hard-fought battle in Paleto Bay, where approximately 22 people died (including civilians and henchmen from both sides), the battle ended in a draw, with no clear winner. 

After this, Cash told Damian that they had proven their point and that they couldn't stay in Paleto Bay forever. Damian later met Captain Cash, and they concluded it was inevitable that they would die if they kept fighting. Damian had mixed feeling, because he knew that he would never return to San Andreas after this. One day later Captain Cash and Damian flew away in their Rogue fighter planes into the sunset and later to Vice City. Cash said famously: ‘to visit an old friend’. This marks the end of Damian’s story and that of the Bay Rebels.

=== Return to San Andreas ===
In mid-2025, Damian returned to Los Santos to reestablish the Bay Rebels after the Italian Mob left Paleto Bay.
