Fifth Ward is IN Houston
so decide where you live. I think I posted a few areas earlier. If you have an idea of the general area you want, I can give you a location.

Please fill the the blank ? for me ASAP by posting the information. I don't want to "guess" by reading your profile.
I'm also a little curious as to why everyone picked the characters they did and the ethnic background that they did.

Lamar will be from the 5th Ward. I picked him because he was already made. 
He was originally made for a horror camp counseler game, which is why I had a teenager laying around. As for ethnicity choice, I've already got Japanese-American, Chinese, and European-American D20 Modern PCs, so I figured an African-American PC was due. Plus, it fit the basketball star theme.
I'll be posting Lamar shortly. Please comment, and then I'll post him in the RG thread.

Lamar Watson
Male Human Fast Hero 1: HD 1d8+3; hp 11; Init +4 (+4 Dex); Spd 30ft; AC 17 (+3 Class, +4 Dex); Melee non-lethal punch, +3 (1d6+2/crit 20/x2); Ranged +4, none; Reputation 0; AL: Chaos; Action Points 5; SV Fort +3, Ref +5, Will -2; Age-Adjusted Stats: Str 14, Dex 18, Con 16, Int 12, Wis 7, Cha 11, Base Stats: Str 14, Dex 16, Con 14, Int 14, Wis 8, Cha 12.
Skills (total/ranks): Balance (9/4), Drive (7/2), Jump (6/4), Knowledge (Current Events) (2/1), Knowledge (Popular Culture) (3/2), Knowledge (Streetwise) (3/2), Profession (2/4), Sleight of Hand (8/4).
Languages: English, Spanish.
Feats: Dodge, Run.
Occupation Features:
Athlete
Skills: Balance*, Drive*, Jump.
Bonus Feat: Brawl.
Wealth Bonus Increase: +1
Class Features:
Simple Weapons Proficiency.
Talent (Fast): Evasion.
Possessions: Day pack, basketball, team windbreaker.
Wealth: +3 (+1 background, +1 occupation, +1 Profession)
Capacity: 58 lbs./116 lbs./175 lbs.
Description: 6'4", 200 lbs. African-American. Age 17. Black hair, brown eyes. Could make a pretty good Kobe Bryant impersonator.
History: After an outstanding junior season at Phyllis Wheatley High School, Lamar is already being recruited by premier NCAA basketball programs throughout the country. He enjoys the attention, but is determined to wow the scouts enough this upcoming senior year to get a ticket straight to the NBA. He certainly seems to have the "tools" to play in the big show, but his individualistic playing style shows a lack of maturity, and scouts are dubious about Lamar's ability to be a part of a team and mesh with a system that doesn't revolve around him. This cockiness carries over to the rest of Lamar's life, but off the court it becomes an asset for him, and he's got a natural way with people. In the end, Lamar's a good kid, even if he's got his head in the clouds and he's a bit full of himself sometimes.
His older brother, Jerome, was not a good kid, though, and he was killed three years ago by a rival gang - Lamar still doesn't know which one - for his affiliation with the Panthers. While Lamar has done his best to steer clear of the 5th Ward gang, the Panthers still occassionally come looking to recruit him.
His parents have never been what you'd call successful, and Lamar hopes he makes the Big Show so he can help them out - one rare instance where he thinks beyond himself. His father, Hank, is a bus driver, and his mother, Regina, was a secretary at Enron until the compay's collapse, and is now out of work.

Age, I'm thinking 14, maybe 15, but very world-wise because of what happened to her. Phillipino/afro.
Talent: Should be easy: Charm (men)
Skills: Knowledge (streetwise) and slight of hand.
Personal firearms proficiency (for protection).
Feats: something that helps me with getting around everywhere, and something that helps me with getting knowledge.
And starting an RTF doesn't work. (that's the malicious script)

Okay
Lamar Watson
INT 12
WIS 7
More Details: Parents, who are they, what they do. I'm going to assume he attends Phyllis Wheatley High School?
After that, he sounds good and he's ready to go! =)
EDIT:
I forgot. What are your languages?

Starting Wealth Bonus: +4 (I assume you're not living in 5th Ward) + 6 (Occupation) + 3 (Windfall) = +13
So based on this, recalculate your equipment purchase
Details: Where did you live before moving to Houston? How long have you lived in Houston? Where is your mother? Where do you live now in Houston? What's your father's name?
That's all I can see for now

I aim to misbehave
Fifth Ward is IN Houstonso decide where you live. I think I posted a few areas earlier. If you have an idea of the general area you want, I can give you a location.
I'm sorry I mispoke (err, mis-wrote)
Any residential area very near (but outside) Fifth Ward would be fine. Actually if you prefer, I could be on the outer edge of Fifth Ward. But regardless, I will have to have you tell me the location.Thanks!!
