Marzekiel Hayes

Marzekiel Hayes is a significant character within the main storyline of The Sims: Universe save.

Background
A little under 20 years ago, back over in Sunset Valley, Marzekiel Williamson Hayes was born to Tamara Jefferson and Marko Hayes. His father was a member turned OG of the infamous Valley Boy Crips whilst his mother was employed at the Sunset Institute of Modern Art.

Constant problems with their relationship caused his mother and father to split when he was very young - this gap in parenting forced Marko's hand into putting in more hours on the set and with no father most of the day, little Marzekiel was prone to loneliness. To combat this, he would often hang around Old Pier Beach as he found the water to have a swaying calm and comforting presence. It's the beach where he actually met his best friend, Tony Lithe. The pair were inseparable, sticking together like glue and protecting each other when necessary. Tony introduced Marzekiel to Traymar Edwards at school, otherwise known as the popular kid who everyone somewhat wanted to be.

One night, whilst the house was at rest, a gang unit raided Marko for possession with intent to supply. With his father in jail and his mother nowhere to be found, Marzekiel only had the choice to live with Tony's for a while. While his dad was locked away, Marzekiel was approached countless times by the Valley Boys to join the gang in honour of his father - who made it seem like it was destiny rather than a choice and so he did. He was ordained Lil Marko, tasked with running packages back and forth and proved himself to be extremely reliable. When he and Tony were walking home from school one day, the olders of another gang, Oak Grove Gangstas had decided to mess with them. Unfortunately for them, Marzekiel was carrying that day and reached into his backpack for a snub-nosed revolver - kneecapping the goons whilst Tony ran on his orders. Still frightened, he relentlessly unloaded the rest of the bullets into the assailant's body, eventually killing him. When caught, he was never trialed on the count of being a minor and self-defense, however, he was moved into the care system until his dad got out of jail the following year.

Leading Up To The Main Storyline
When Marko was released, he met Aleia Birch and instantly fell for her. But later that year, convinced that Sunset Valley was no longer the place for them and to start a family, Marko proposed to Aleia, packed all of their stuff and moved his family to Oasis Springs in the hopes of a better life. Sadly...not all problems are escapable. Marzekiel: Lil Marko: Now Blue Marz had a taste and love of his father's lifestyle and so he joined the local set of the Crips in less than a month of settling in the springs. He was recruited in by Antonia Burke, who he had later admitted to Kai, a fellow member, that he had been crushing on almost instantly after meeting her. His relationship with the leadership(s) of the gang became fractured when H Wise confronted him about his ill-doings:"H Wise: I'll be real with you, Zeke...I can't trust you""Marzekiel: W - What?""H Wise: You were quick to abandon the Valleys...who says you won't abandon my family?""Marzekiel: ...""H Wise: You also killed a man...and left that body on your gang. People will die on your actions...and you just...left.""Marzekiel: It wasn't like that, boss. I didn't mean to keep shooti-""H Wise: Relax...you're family now...Zeke, I won't reprimand you...I just...never mind.""*SPARKS BLUNT*"
