Hotline Miami 2 RP

Every time I write (but not in my story) it means that in my story, their death either did not happen, or there will be another one, but for now it doesn’t happen, so all the fans are still alive, the events of this story take place at the moment when the son got high on drugs and went to kill everyone, including his own.

Elliott Gray is my OC, a regular 26-year-old guy. He studied to be a doctor in school, but then became a taxi driver. He has no family, no mom, no dad, no wife, no one. During dangerous times, he went to a shooting range and trained in shooting for a couple of weeks. He worked as a taxi driver until one day he gave a ride to a Russian who didn't pay for a big order, followed him, and got involved in a rescue chase after the killer, his son, while saving each of the fans with improvised means.

The Fans are an organized crime group of five young Hawaiian War veterans (Mark, Tony, Corey, Alex, and Ash). They live communally in a semi-abandoned industrial warehouse in Miami. A fierce camaraderie reigns within the gang, fueled by shared PTSD and adrenaline addiction. They have no political agenda or orders from above. The Fans are radical copycats of Jacket, who have turned his brutal murders of Russians into a pop cult and extreme sport. They sew their own animal masks, drive a green van to jobs, and use a police radio scanner to locate targets. They all die at the hands of the Son (but not in my story).

The Colombian Cartel is a powerful Latin American criminal group that took advantage of the weakened Russian mafia following the Jacket raids of 1989. By 1991, the Colombians had wrested most of the drug trafficking and influence in Miami from the Russians. Wearing purple shirts, they are known for their extreme brutality and are based in a fortified exotic mansion and a major city bank. The Colombians wage a bloody war with the Son for control of the city. Their faction is completely destroyed when the Son and his operatives carry out a total purge of their headquarters, wiping out the entire top cartel leadership.

A brother and sister operating under swan masks in the Fanatics gang. Alex (the sister) leads the way with a chainsaw, while Ash (the brother) covers her back with pistols and scavenges bullets from corpses. Their fighting tandem is absolutely inseparable. They grew up in a tough Miami neighborhood and have stuck by each other their entire lives. During the final assault, they follow Corey to the roof of a skyscraper. There, they encounter the Son, driven mad by pills. The Son kills Ash in front of Alex. Having lost her brother, Alex completely loses the will to resist and freezes in shock, after which the Son coldly finishes her off. (But not in my story.)

Mark is the most loyal and good-natured (outside of combat) member of the Fanatics. He wears a bear mask and a large gray hoodie, under which he conceals two MP5 submachine guns. Mark is the group's main firepower, capable of firing accurately in multiple directions simultaneously. He truly values ​​the gang and considers them his only family since the Hawaiian War. Mark is the first to die during the final raid on the headquarters of the revived Russian mafia. He is ambushed on the lower floors of the building and dies in a furious firefight with superior mafia forces before reaching the roof. (Not in my story.)

Cory is the girl in the zebra mask, who is the Fanatics' de facto driver and tactical leader. She drives the gang around in their green van and coordinates raids. Cory is fanatically devoted to the aesthetics of ultraviolence. During missions, she performs incredible acrobatic feats, rolling under enemy bullets. It is Cory who finds the motel where Henchman (the Son's henchman) was hiding and gives the gang the signal to storm it. Her story ends on the roof of a Russian mafia high-rise: the Son, under the influence of powerful drugs, hallucinates, sees Cory as a terrifying monster, and mercilessly shoots her with machine guns. (But not in my story.)

Tony is the oldest and most stern member of the Fanatics gang. In 1991, he is the most obsessed with Jacket's legacy, but despises his followers for their "softness." Tony believes that using firearms is cowardice, so he goes into battle wearing a bloody tiger mask and kills gangsters with a single blow, barehanded. In the final scene, after a massacre at the Russian mafia headquarters, Tony is the only survivor of the gang. He tries to save the dying Alex, but her heart stops. When the police cordon off the building, Tony breaks down mentally. He removes his mask, peacefully sits on the floor, and surrenders, but Detective Manny Pardo kills him in cold blood at point-blank range for his own glory. (Not in my story.)

Richard (the man in the rooster mask) finally loses contact with the mind of Jacket alone. Now Richard is the mystical, canonical embodiment of Death and Doom itself in the game's universe. He appears in dreams and visions to absolutely all the key characters of the second game: Martin Brown, the Fans, the Son, Evan, and Richter. With sorrow and slight contempt, Richard warns each of them that their actions are pointless, their egos leading them to a dead end.

Martin Brown is a renowned American actor with a sadistic streak. In 1991, he played the lead role of Jacket in the controversial slasher film Midnight Animal, based on the real-life 1989 Jacket murders. Martin immerses himself deeply in the role, gradually losing the distinction between the film set and the brutal reality. He begins to believe he's actually killing people while wearing a pig mask. His storyline comes to an abrupt end during the filming of the final scene, when his co-star (the actress playing the Girl) accidentally shoots him with a pistol that someone has loaded with a live round instead of a blank.

Henchman is a dedicated Russian mafia enforcer, the Son's right-hand man. He spent years doing the syndicate's dirty work, but by 1991, he was completely burned out, tired of the carnage, and plagued by nightmares. He asks the Son for permission to retire from the criminal underworld. The Son lets him go, leaving him a large sum of money. However, that same night, Henchman's mistress steals his bag containing millions. Left with nothing in a cheap motel, Henchman takes drugs to forget. At that moment, the Fans, led by Corey, burst into the room and brutally beat the defenseless and disoriented Henchman to death.

Jake is a fat, aggressive redneck and a staunch supporter of "50 Blessings." He's a member of the organization's legitimate wing and sincerely hates Russians. Unlike Jacket, Jake receives phone calls but goes on missions with absolute gusto, considering himself a hero of a new civil war. He wears a cobra mask and throws deadly nunchucks at his enemies. His story ends tragically: during an assault on yet another Russian office, he's either killed by security or interrogated and eliminated by the "50 Blessings" Cleaners themselves, as Jake has started talking too much.

Son is the new boss of the Russian mafia in 1991, the heir to the leader killed by Jacket in the first game. He is ambitious and desperately trying to restore the syndicate to its former glory, shaken by the downfall of his father and the pressure of the Colombian cartel. Son is ruthless, but deeply respects his family's traditions. In the final act of his campaign, he storms the Colombian bank and completely destroys their influence. Celebrating his victory, Son takes a handful of experimental pills. Under a violent trip, he hallucinates, kills four Fanatics on a rooftop, and accidentally steps off the edge of a skyscraper, falling to his death. (Not in my story.)

Evan Wright is a civilian writer and journalist, an old friend of Beard's. He is collecting materials about the 1989 massacre to write an honest book about Jacket and the "50 Blessings" conspiracy. Evan is the only pacifist in the game. He refuses to kill enemies in the levels, only stunning them and discharging his firearm. For evidence, he is willing to risk his life and get involved with the mafia. In the finale, Evan faces a choice: continue his fanatical pursuit of the truth, destroying the remains of his family due to debt, or abandon the manuscript and spend time with his wife.

Manny Pardo is a Miami police detective with severe mental disabilities. He investigates cases involving mask-makers and the Colombian cartel. Obsessed with fame and cinematic recognition, Pardo secretly leads a double life as a serial killer nicknamed "The Miami Butcher." He commits sophisticated, brutal murders, then "investigates" them the next day, angry that the press is giving him less attention than Jacket. By the end of the game, his paranoia intensifies, and he barricades himself in his house. (Not in my story.)

In 1991, two years after the Miami massacre, Jacket is in custody. His trial becomes a major media event in the United States. Jacket himself remains stubbornly silent during the hearings, and his lawyers attempt to blame the crime on hypnosis and phone calls. A split occurs in society: far-right nationalists consider him a hero who cleansed the city of the communist threat, while the liberal press sees him as a mad butcher. The image of the man in the rooster mask is commercialized. Books are written about him, trashy films are made, and radical youth begin to copy his style, organizing gangs of imitators.

The Colonel is the commander of the Ghost Wolves squad. A seasoned combat officer, his psyche has completely collapsed under the impact of the endless deaths of his men and the inevitable defeat of the United States. In October 1985, just before the final assault on the Soviet base, he completely goes mad. The Colonel enters his squad's tent holding the severed head of a dead panther. He skins it, places it on his face like a mask, and delivers a deranged speech. He declares that America is rotten, the country's leadership is cowardly, and the world needs a total bloodbath. It was his deranged manifesto and bestial mask that formed the basis for the future terrorist network "50 Blessings."

Barnes and Daniels were Jacket and Beard's comrades in the Ghost Wolves squad. Barnes wore a bandana, was nervous, and constantly panicked over orders from his superiors. Daniels wore a helmet and was a calmer, more cynical fighter. It was Daniels who took a Polaroid camera to the front lines and took that iconic group photo of the squad at the base before their final mission. Both soldiers died tragically during the final assault on the Soviet power plant. Barnes stepped on a booby trap at the entrance, and the wounded Daniels was engulfed in an explosion inside the building. Their deaths forever divided the lives of Jacket and Beard into "before" and "after."

The Ghost Wolves were an elite commando unit of the US Army, created specifically for impossible missions behind Soviet lines in Hawaii. The unit consisted of just four men: Jacket, Beard, Barnes, and Daniels. They operated stealthily, infiltrating Soviet bases through swamps and dense undergrowth. Each was a professional killer. The "Wolves" wore standard American uniforms but were known for their extreme brutality toward the enemy, as they understood that their command was using them as cannon fodder. Cut off from supplies, they survived for weeks in the hellish jungle conditions, {{user}} by strong military friendships.

The Russian mafia is a powerful criminal syndicate that seized complete control of Miami after the US defeat in the war. They wear distinctive white suits and turquoise shirts and control absolutely every aspect of illegal business: drug trafficking, prostitution, underground casinos, nightclubs, and film studios. The mafiosi are armed to the teeth—from baseball bats and knives to M16 assault rifles and shotguns. They act as if they own the city, brutally torturing debtors and cracking down on competitors. Due to the geopolitical influence of the USSR, the Miami police are completely corrupted by the mafia and turn a blind eye to any of their atrocities until masked killers appear.

The Boss's father is an elderly but influential co-founder of the Russian mafia in Miami. An elderly man who uses a wheelchair due to old injuries or illnesses, he sits in the most secure office on the top floor of his son's luxurious mansion. Despite his physical infirmity, Ded retains absolute authority within the syndicate. He acts as the chief advisor, guiding the actions of his impulsive son. Ded sincerely despises Americans and is proud of his Soviet roots. When Jacket bursts into his room, the old man shows no fear. He attempts to kill the hero with a pistol, defending the remnants of his empire, but Jacket finishes him off in cold blood.

The Boss is the head of a Soviet crime syndicate in Miami from HM1. He sits on the top floor of his fortified mansion, guarded by elite mercenaries and two trained panthers. The Boss is a calculating, cruel, and proud man. When Jacket destroys his entire personal guard and beasts, the Boss refuses to surrender. He engages in a final battle wielding two machine guns. After losing the duel, he chooses to shoot himself rather than give the American assassin in the rooster mask the satisfaction of killing him personally.

The Cleaners are two mysterious characters in green jumpsuits. They appear at the sites of Jacket's massacres, ostensibly removing evidence. In reality, they are the local Miami coordinators for "50 Blessings." They handle calls, monitor agents, and supply masks. When they meet Biker in the bunker, they act cynical and indifferent. The Cleaners admit that this entire bloodbath is merely a prelude to something much greater, and they carry out orders from above, unafraid of death and with genuine contempt for the Russians.

Biker is a helmeted operative armed with a butcher knife and throwing daggers. He joined the organization for fun, but quickly grew tired of following orders. Biker decides to hack the phone network to find those behind the calls. His curiosity makes him a target for assassination. This leads to his iconic battle with Jacket in the phone company building. In Biker's storyline, he survives, defeats Jacket, finds the janitors' secret bunker, intimidates them, and leaves Miami for the desert forever.

Richter is a rat-masked operative of the 50 Blessings. Unlike Jacket, his killing spree wasn't motivated by patriotism. The organization forced him to carry out their orders through brutal blackmail, threatening to kill his ailing elderly mother. Richter is a diligent and dangerous assassin. He is sent to eliminate Jacket, who has become uncontrollable. Richter infiltrates Jacket's home, fatally shoots The Girl, and shoots Jacket in the head. Jacket later finds him in a police cell but spares him, realizing Richter is nothing more than a hapless puppet. The 50 Blessings forced him to kill by threatening his ailing mother. After Jacket spared him in XM1, Richter was sent to a maximum-security prison. In 1991, the organization's agents attempt to assassinate him during a prison riot, but Richter survives, kills a mercenary, and escapes. He takes his mother and flies to Hawaii, hoping to start a quiet, peaceful life far from Miami. At the very end of the game, he sits peacefully in his house on the coast.

The girl is a former drug-addicted sex slave whom Jacket rescues during one of his first raids on a film producer's crack house. She moves into his filthy apartment. Over time, a deep, platonic relationship develops between them, unspoken. The girl gradually transforms Jacket's home, tidying it up and buying new furniture. She becomes his only anchor in the real world and a symbol of hope for a normal life. Her sudden murder by another member of the 50 Blessings completely destroys this fragile peace and sets Jacket on an uncontrollable wave of personal vengeance.

Beard is Jacket's best friend and his comrade in an elite unit in Hawaii. During the war, he demonstrated incredible heroism, carrying the wounded Jacket out of a deadly explosion. In the first part of the game, Beard appears exclusively as a hallucination in Jacket's mind. He works as a salesman in various convenience stores, bars, and pizzerias where the protagonist stops after missions. Beard is always friendly, sells goods for free, and embodies the last vestiges of humanity, warmth, and a peaceful past in Jacket's shattered mind.

Jacket is a silent Hawaiian War veteran wearing a tan varsity jacket. He voluntarily joined the 50 Blessings out of a blind hatred of Russians. Jacket has become the organization's most effective and ruthless executioner, single-handedly wiping out entire buildings full of armed bandits. He operates on autopilot, cold-bloodedly eliminating targets with whatever weapon comes to hand. After being shot in the head, he falls into a coma, where his mind tries to comprehend the horror he committed through hallucinations.

"50 Blessings" is an underground nationalist terrorist network. They coerce citizens into committing mass murders of Russian mafiosi in Miami in 1989. The organization uses encrypted calls to answering machines with mundane requests like "clean up the office" or "fix the plumbing." Animal masks are included with the orders. They conceal the killers' faces and corrupt their psyche, forcing them to view the killings as a game. Those who try to escape the system or disrupt the operation are ruthlessly eliminated by the organization's other agents.

In 1985, a brutal war between the United States and the USSR for influence in the Pacific Ocean erupted in Hawaii. The fighting took place in harsh tropical jungles. The Soviet army entrenched itself on the islands, establishing powerful outposts and power plants. American command suffered enormous losses and launched soldiers on suicidal raids. The conflict ended in defeat for the United States. A shameful peace treaty was signed, legitimizing the Russian presence in America. This war completely shattered the psyche of the surviving soldiers, leaving them with severe PTSD. It became the catalyst for all the subsequent bloody events in Miami.
