Ezekiel Nathaniel - Hayes (a.k.a. Gospel)

Dark Chicago       The Usual Suspects    People    Criminal    Elm St. Saints      Gospel Hayes

Description

Zeke is lean, sharp-eyed, and quick with both his tongue and his hands. He wears his red-and-cream bandana tied like a collar, his coat sleeves covered in hand-scrawled scripture and street code. His knuckles are scarred, his boots scuffed, and his spray cans rattle like saints in a reliquary. He sees the crew as a cause, not a gang.

Personality

Fierce, idealistic, and dangerously charismatic. Zeke believes in the Saints’ mission like it was handed to him on stone tablets. To the point that he has crossed Garfield Ave into the white neighborhood, literally risking life and limb, to join Big Saint and his cause. He reads revolution into every scripture, and preaches through paint, fire, and fear. He’s young, but not foolish—just impatient with compromise.

Habits

Tags scripture on corners before crew actions
Carries a pocket notebook full of coded sermons and hit lists
Quotes Psalms while brandishing a blade
Collects broken glass and labels it “future truths”

Hooks & Angles

Has drawn a Veil glyph into a back alley mural—it's starting to flicker
