End of an era. We had a good run boys!

Thank you, sir! But sadly it is not my birthday!

The Test of Wisdom It was a Friday night, and the city was filled with the usual amount gun-fire and hostility. It was also the perfect time for one of Al's usual training exercises. He brought forward the idea of a Wisdom test to his fellow high command, and they all seemed to agree that it was way overdue. So, he began to tell everyone to compile themselves into groups of four and set up a few riddles leading to various locations. Al began to sit down at the computer and began to write up a few clues corresponding to different locations. After writing up the clues, he knew he would need to enlist help to sit at the locations, so the first person he enlisted was an old friend named Jason Nightwood. Who sat an an old, abandoned Irish threading factory. Quickly after sitting at the first location, he gathered everyone up and gave out the first clue which would lead to Jason's location, which read as: "Where the threads of the council were once stitched is where you must go. The man that lays there is extremely greedy, give him some food, painkillers, and water or, he'll be needy." Jason sat at the first location, eager to meet the victors of the first clue. The second clue read, "Where the Latino Mexican plays and the bricks are laid is where the celebration will take place. Give him a note with a picture of a taco, or else he'll say nay." For the 2nd location, Al asked his fellow Vanguard Kai Draco if he would sit at the location and give out the next clue. He agreed immediately reading out a clue that led directly to the mines. At the mines sat Billy Fukaru, who volunteered to sit out of the training to give out one of the clues. He gave out a final clue that led directly to an energy plant near the Los Santos Bank. At that final location sat Al Romano, who had four pins and a bag filled with $100,000 with him. The pins represented wisdom within Chinese culture. Soon after positioning himself, four champions arose: Jake Okibi, Lance Slash, Jack McCoy, and Lisa Wilson who won the pins of wisdom and $25,000 each. This training session proved that everyone throughout the Triad Organization was filled with wisdom, knowledge, and integrity.

great thread! love it so far!!

Feels like yesterday I was hiding at bank trash talking you guys during the Irish war. You'll be missed greatly!

Great concept and best of luck! I do suggest adding more graphics/pictures to your initial post though!

Character name: Al Draco Issue/bug you are reporting: I am unable to edit my "About Me" bio on life invader due to having a two letter name. Expected behavior: I should be allowed to change my bio Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate:

+1 to this idea. In theory if these weapon benches could be placed anywhere, I would disagree with this suggestion. But, I feel as if since it states that they can only be placed in warehouses then this suggestion is flawless. There aren't too many warehouses on the server and if you balance the amount of warehouses there are on the server and if every official gang got access to a warehouse then this would honestly be amazing in my opinion. There are many other factors that could be implemented on-top of this to encourage better RP as well while stopping an overflow of guns. Maybe a way to disable other gangs warehouses stopping their weapon creation for x amount of time? Adding a time similar to the drug creation in combination with the warehouse only limit makes this a perfect resolution in my eyes. I can also think of a million other ways to further this idea and balance out the concept of a gun overflow in the market.

Al Romano Fang Draco IV The plane had just landed and Dimitri Denino, Tony Romano, and Al Romano hopped out of a plane from Vice City. After flying in from a life of crime in Vice City, they had formed their very own crime syndicate known as the Golden Gauntlet. They had started recruitment and picked up roughly 10 other individuals. Ultimately, they didn’t last that long due to many other hostile gangs and the cold winter. They had taken a flight back to Vice City leaving their broken organization back in Los Santos. The Return After leaving Los Santos for over four years they had decided to return with new ambitious goals of joining an already established organization. They were familiar with some of the organizations that were around back when they had originally arrived in the city such as The Irish Mob, The Zetas, and Mercia. They spent time relearning the ropes of the city, and building up their wealth when they came across a man known as Tyrone Cox. Tyrone Cox was the head recruiter for the Los Santos Irish Mob, after talking with Tyrone for a long period of time they had decided to join The Irish Mob. They had been told the history of the Irish Mob and were introduced to the leader at that current time which was Dwayne Donovan. They spent months in the Irish Mob until an event happened that sparked war in the city. After working his way up in Irish to the point where he achieved laptop access, Al had then started experimenting with recruitment. He had found that he was extremely good at finding potential recruits and training them up. At that time his job was to find good potential recruits and then introduce them to his lead recruiter which at the time was Tyrone Cox. Months had passed and war had been waged in Los Santos and Irish had slowly vanished from the city. He knew he wouldn’t give up in a time of war, and promised to himself that he would get through it. He watched his friends die, switch sides, and vanish forever. People who he had looked up to vanished from the criminal life, when one day he received a call from a familiar voice. He quickly answered the call and met up with two individuals who he looked up to being Dwayne and Mia Donovan. They had the idea of creating an organization which operated from the shadows. That organization would quickly take the name of The Rooks. They had constant meetings in a location known as The Jetty. Soon after the Rooks began to rise off it’s feet they then decided they needed a more formal location where they could conduct business. So they located a business that had recently gone on sale known as La Spada. They had asked one of their wealthy members put forward the money to buy the business. They had constant meetings there and achieved much success until things started to go downhill again.. Dwayne, Mia, and Al decided to have a meeting discussing the future of the Rooks. Dwayne and Mia had offered Al leadership of The Rooks which he declined and recommended Dmitri Leroy as the boss of the rooks. Which he would later learn was the biggest mistake of his life. After they had passed leadership down, Al decided he would leave The Rooks with Dwayne and Mia. But that would not stop him for long as he decided to come back months later and received the rank back of Consigliere. He had loved his time with the Rooks, and ultimately had a passion for recruitment. After being with The Rooks for a while he had decided to take another break and leave the organization once again. During his time in The Rooks he had made extremely good connections with The Triads, as La Spada was right across the street from The Koi one of the Triad HQ’s. After making those connections he had decided to hit up a good friend of his known as Kai Fang and had skipped trial and became a fully fledged Blue Lantern of the Los Santos Triads. Al ran around with The Triads as a Blue Lantern for a small amount of time, before he had made up his mind and decided it was time for him to go back to The Rooks and continue to build up the organization. Once again he had received his rank back and continued to do so for a while. He brought in many inexperienced criminals and quickly turned them into respected individuals. He came up with news ways of recruitment such as a questioning period on the Mirror Park Dam. He helped individuals climb the ranks and quickly learn the ropes of a leadership position in a large gang. In his eyes stuff began to change in The Rooks, it was no longer about what was best for the gang. In his point of view as well as other members of high command it was all about what Dmitri wanted to happen. He then talked to the underboss of The Rooks Rose McGarden, as well as a Commander in the rooks known as Zion Willard and they had all decided to leave. Right before they ended up leaving Rose had died in a car accident and all of the details were unknown. Zion and Al had moved on and began talking with Nick Wong and Kai Fang again and had joined The Triads under the title of 49er. He quickly rose through the Triad Ranks achieving the status of recruiter. At first it was quite awkward coming in not knowing any of the lower ranking members of The Triads. He heard many rumors about himself which he quickly disproved. He enjoyed working his way up in Triads, he had gotten nostalgia from his first days in the Irish Mob. Except, Triads was much different. After being in multiple gangs throughout multiple different eras, The Triads was unlike any gang he was in prior. The skill, the organization and loyalty that The Triads has was unlike any other. He then approached the Triad High Command and requested permission to recruit within Triads which he was then granted. He began looking throughout the city for individuals with a certain skill set which would fit The Triads at that time. He then accomplished that quickly achieving the status of Red Pole within Triads which came with a lot of responsibility. Current Events Al Romano had talked with someone he had looked up to within Triads known as Kai Fang. Kai and Al had talked and Al was offered the Fang last name. He quickly accepted it and changed his surname legally to Fang. He had the Romano surname his whole life, and it took some getting used to but he loved the new last name. He had the name for quite some time until The Fangs had met up with The Dracos and had decided to merge families. They then changed their last names to Draco symbolizing a new era in Triads. Al then continued in Triads and continued to work his way up the ranks. Until one day he was welcomed to a fresh stick of incense promoting Al to the rank of Vanguard within Triads. The first thing he did when he got his mask was take a picture with his homie Kai.
