Background Information:

Gavin Free was targeted for being a Bird hybrid, a rare species, and was taken in by Michael Jones and Geoff Ramsey, who all started to form a crew. Jack Pattillo and Jeremy Dooley joined them along with Ray Narvaez and Ryan Haywood and they all formed the Achievement Hunter Crew in Los Santos, rising through the criminal underworld to become the top crew on the island. They also formed a legitimate entertainment crew under the same name and gathered a worldwide audience.

Gavin is the one who pretty much holds the crew together. No one really wants to fight with him nearby due to his overly-positive attitude. But despite his easy nature, his horrible childhood is a sore subject for all and he desperately pushes it out of his mind. He instead is a happy, carefree spirit who loves to smile, and although he can appear dumb and klutzy at times he can be very effective and talented when the situation arises. He also acts as a type of mediator for the group and is known to be occasionally wise. He is also the best in scouting missions for the group, and officially their public relations expert.

Michael treats Gavin like a brother, although it can be confused for love (which isn't true… not at all. Seriously!) He protects him and anyone who tries to pick on Gavin will have him to answer to. Despite his cat heritage, he is more akin to that of a bear, having grown up under foster parents of the same species. After they were accidentally killed in a gang drive-by shooting in Los Santos, Michael swore to get revenge for them and joined the AH Crew, eventually beating down and destroying the gang that took Michael's family and all other gangs affiliated with it. He is an expert with explosives, in the sense that he loves blowing things up. He is an expert with all forms of explosive weapons and charges and dreams of getting incendiary bullets for his guns, although so far his boss has banned him from trying to get them after a "prank" with his six-hundred dollar toilet, a grenade, and a resulting seventeen million hits on youtube on the video he got from it.

Ray had a hard childhood and now acts like a kid to make up for lost time, having grown up in the north with an absent mother and an abusive father in the south on the mainland. He and Gavin have a strong bond for video games and child-like behavior. Despite Gavin's constant slip-ups, Ray actually knows that Gavin is very good at a lot of things, from fighting to video games. He only messes up either out of a lack of self-confidence, general unluckiness or to purposely make others laugh - the latter which works really well. Ray is happy to play along, although sometimes he doesn't need to act as his amusement from Gavin's shenanigans is almost always genuine. He is an expert marksman and shooter, and his rabbit heritage allows him to sneak into unexpected places, making him suitable for overwatch on heists and missions, as well as scouting and stealth.

Geoff took in Gavin and Michael from the streets and gave them a home in Los Santos, having served in the military and now a businessman. Geoff treats all of his crew like his family, although he doesn't always act like the perfect dad. On the contrary, he does have a craving for alcohol and often doesn't care for a lot of things. But he has a lot of money, which he spends on food, clothes and video games for his crew. Geoff's headstrong nature can be related to his heritage, but he is still a great boss when he wants to be. He especially holds a strong bond after Gavin and the rest of the crew organized his breakout from prison. He owns a job in shipping although, in fact, it is a coverup. He organizes the stealing and hijacking of criminal cargo to sell to both the government and other gangs, in an organized plan to take over the criminal underworld.

Jack is the handyman of the group and also like their real dad, caring for all of them. He asserted himself as the team's medical expert and driver and is very good at what he does. He can be very intimidating when angry but it really isn't his style, preferring to leave some of his more aggressive coworkers to do that job. His status as Lion Hybrid gave him a lot of respect growing up but it pained him to see others treating him better than others who just so happened to be born differently, so he went out of his way to ensure their group was multi-species. He also joined to take down rival gangs who were only causing unnecessary violence in the streets and is a retired policeman, having served as an active officer for eight years and as the direct assistant to the chief of the Los Santos police department for two before joining Geoff's crew. He serves as their moral compass and their negotiator, wanting to avoid violence when possible, but he knows how to use a gun really well, and any vehicle-mounted weapon in his hands becomes a death-machine.

Ryan took Ray under his wing when they grew up in the same neighborhood in the south. Ryan eventually had to escape from his abusive stepfamily with their plans to move out of the country back to Scotland, and he took Ray along when he found out about his own lack of proper family. Ryan would turn to petty crime to allow them to cross the country and get to Los Santos, where they started doing odd jobs with the local gangs for cash. Ryan's rather brutal methods of injury and murder, general lack of emotion and untalkative nature (he literally doesn't speak a single word) didn't cloud Ray's judgment who looked up to him as a brother. When Ray's sharpshooting skills earned him a meeting with the then-assembling AH Crew, he brought along Ryan. They accepted him, although they always seemed nervous and openly frightened around him and Geoff seemingly wouldn't talk about payment. In fact, he had backed out of the room with his hands up, confusing the two as they didn't look anything like police officers, nor were they armed at the time. Ryan serves as the heavy gunner of their team, taking care of large groups of enemies and is also in charge of intimidation for the group, his black skull mask a signature feature for him.

Jeremy had a rather normal childhood but his family and he were separated after his father borrowed money from a gang and ran into debt. Jeremy remained on the run, doing small jobs and eventually working in a small transport and trading company in Los Santos. He eventually was promoted up the ranks to become the personal assistant to the boss, who one day announced to him in private that he was the latest addition to the AH Crew. Jeremy was in shock but quickly found a place in the crew, and while they made fun of his height it was always in good nature, with his nickname "Lil J" eventually becoming a favorite term for himself, just short of "Rimmy Tim", to their confusion and amusement. He became their technician, sorting all things electronic and mechanical for them, while Jack was more of a smaller-scale repairman and construction worker. They attempted to find his family but to no avail, and after taking down a certain gang boss from his childhood area it was believed that they were killed in secret after the debt payment was late.

The story so far...

The Crew originally turned to crime to gain money, but after breaking Geoff from prison after he was framed by a rival crew they set their sights on the rival gangs on the island of Los Santos, and despite it being harder to gain rewards they were able to make off with a lot more money and at the same time earn a public reputation amongst the population. The police force eventually would assist them, letting them take as much money as they wanted in exchange for the complete dismantling of the gangs, from the infamous FUNHAUS Mafia group and the Cow Chop MC Gang, for example.

Los Santos soon became free of the criminal gangs which had plagued the population for so long and became heroes. In their last organized heist against the remnants of the American-Mexican Cartel, they made off with a large number of materials and vehicles.

When the LSPD arrived, however, they found several vehicles missing, and - more surprisingly - no sign of the AH Crew. This last mission ended the criminal violence for good in Los Santos, and it was assumed the Crew had made off with their riches and had retired out of the country.

A report of a UFO sighting over the island was reported in the news the same night, but no correlation was made to the AH Crew, who had been declared missing and believed to have flown from the island in a Titan and Valkyrie gunship with several road vehicles. It did, however, earn a response from the public when a flight of jet fighters was seen chasing a large object over mount Chiliad before it disappeared into the sky.

A message was left on the official Achievement Hunter website as well as their Youtube channel saying that they were shutting down due to lack of funding, with a final signed message from each of them on a photo of them posing in front of a Valkyrie helicopter gunship and a Titan.

Author's Note: Hey guys, sorry for the long break, but during this time I was focusing on school and enjoying my winter break. I was also experimenting a lot with new stories and I think I got around twenty concepts for three different categories before settling on this one. Let me know what you think, the first chapter will come tomorrow. Until next time, see ya!
