{ Tucker Dejesu To Be Rescued.
	THE BASICS! FULL NAME: Lamar Tucker Dejesu NICKNAMES: None AGE & DOB: August 6th. SEXUALITY: ???
APPEARANCE! Close cropped black hair and a very short, well shaped beard. His clothing changes depending on what he's doing that day. If he has an appearance at juvenile court he wears a perfectly pressed suit that's well tailored. When he's only going to be at the counseling center he's more casually dressed in henleys, jeans, and t-shirts. He's a very large man and can be rather intimidating except for his gentle expressions and kind smile. He has work hardened hands with scars across some knuckles. He can often be seen in the company of his nieces and nephews, looking after them and taking them out to the park.
PERSONALITY! Tucker does everything he can to be polite and respectful because he's aware of how big and intimidating he can be. It's rare to hear him raise his voice and even when he speaks firmly he never yells. He enjoys a good laugh and playing around with friends and his family. He's their uncle, the successful member of the family, which is a responsibility he takes very seriously and he's really, really hopeful that they don't repeat the mistakes that their fathers and mothers made growing up. If someone somehow manages to burn through his seemingly endless patience Tucker is straight forward in dealing with them and he's not very merciful. Everyone gets a chance to stop being a dick to him but if they screw that up, that's it. He kicks them to the curb.
BIOGRAPHY! His childhood was not easy. His father disappeared when he was very young and his mother got arrested on drug charges when he was in his pre-teens. Tucker grew up with his grandmother and his siblings. He had to grow up fast to help out with money and basic needs in the family. He watched his brothers as they joined gangs, stole, and sold drugs all to help support the family. His brothers weren't always lucky though. He watched them go in and out of the system as career criminals. He saw what it did to their grandmother and he already knew the impact it had on his parents. Tucker wanted nothing to do with that life and he worked very hard to stay out of it. Pushing himself hard he found a way to pay for university and studied sociology and psychology. While at University his oldest brother was found dead, shot in an alley. The police investigated and found it was a drug deal gone bad. His brother left behind a wife and four children. Tucker sends part of his paycheck to help support them. After graduating he got a job as a guidance counselor at a local community counseling center. He mentors troubled and drug addicted teens, trying to help them get their life straightened out and in order. At home, he spends his time playing basketball and hanging out with his two recused pit bulls.
