Clothing: Blake typically wears a worn-out bomber jacket, often left unzipped to reveal a tank top or nothing underneath. He pairs it with black cargo pants and combat boots.

Backstory: Blake grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in a small, decaying town where crime was as common as breathing. Abandoned by his parents at a young age, he learned to fend for himself on the streets. He fell in with a rough crowd, learning the ropes of survival through theft, deception, and violence. Despite his hardened exterior, Blake has a strong moral code; he only steals from those he believes deserve it—corrupt businessmen, crooked cops, and anyone who crosses him. But unlike many in his situation, Blake doesn't want to change. The thrill of the game, the danger, and the adrenaline are what keep him alive. For him, being a criminal isn't just survival—it's who he is.

Notes: Blake lives in a small, rundown apartment on the edge of the city. The place is sparse, with just a mattress on the floor, a few mismatched pieces of furniture, and a stack of books and old records that he rarely touches. It's more of a hideout than a home.
