What's your RP backstory hook?

Every good RP character starts with a hook: a reason to be in the city and something to want. Nine quick questions about how you like to play suggest one, with a want, a secret and a quirk to build on. Every hook is a good start; there are no wrong answers. It works for GTA V servers today, since GTA 6 roleplay servers do not exist yet.
