"Everybody Dies, But Not Everybody Lives" Joining up with the Crimson Syndicate was one of the best decisions Blake has made to date. He couldn't imagine himself wasting away inside of an office building working for someone else's dream. Instead, he made his own path and was enjoying the hell out of life. Since joining, his finances have never looked better and he has acquired more assets than he could have ever dreamed of at his age. He finally was able to purchase his dream car - an Elegy Retro Custom - as well as his own single car garage apartment to call his own. Blake even managed to setup his own growing operation again which brought him much happiness as he was able to tend to his plant babies with peace of mind. It wasn't much, but it sure beat the hell out of couch surfing week to week or trading home grown weed for a couple weeks of rent. Blake was finally able to provide for himself for once in his life. He felt on top of the world and he couldn't have done it without his new family. Days go by and The Syndicate were invited to their brother Jordan's wedding. At the time, that was very exciting news! Blake hasn't been able to chill out at all since the fighting has been going on. He was constantly watching his back and protecting his family. The day arrived and John told everyone... "NO FUCKING FIGHTING" "DO NOT GET FUCKING ARRESTED!" "DO NOT FUCK THIS WEDDING UP!" There was a parade of white from Paleto down to the beach where the ceremony took place. Everyone noticed us coming. The day was amazing and the ceremony could not have been anymore perfect. After all was said and done, the party retreated to a private Yacht for the after party. Blake never thought he would be able to love someone...but he did love partying...and booze. "They know I got dat broccoli, so I keep dat glock on me"

Much needed. Thank you for addressing this, I think this will make the server more enjoyable for everyone. A great start at least... Like @LeeG stated, there are definitely some things that need to be ironed out and clarified.

"You Got To Start Somewhere" Blake Hayes grew up in the Rockford Hills area of Los Santos. Coming from an extremely wealthy family, Blake never really had to work for anything. Blake attended ULSA and graduated with a degree in Information Technology. He is known as a marijuana enthusiast by many and loves to grow his own plants. His main hobbies include Working on Cars, Racing & Shooting Sports. During his college days, Blake was known by his peers as the party animal. He barely got by in school and focused more on partying than he did with his studies. He went to college because his parents paid for it. He had a bad habit of going to bars with his friends, drinking too much and starting fist fights. He also got in trouble with the law for boosting cars and going on drunken joy rides. Luckily his parents could afford good lawyers. With his parents connections and money to do anything he wanted, Blake didn't always make the best choices. After graduating college, Blake was stuck and really didn't know what to do with his life. His parents ended up cutting him off after he got in trouble for the 3RD time for stealing high end sports cars. They gave him everything he wanted yet he still decided to steal. They were DONE with him and kicked him out. He hated the idea of working an office job and with the record he had, it was hard to get one. One day after depositing the last of his money into his bank account, he ran into a guy who looked to be around the same age. Blake noticed his cool arm tattoos and made a comment on them. After some small talk the guy introduced himself as John Corsetti. The two instantly connected and seemed to have some similar interests - Racing, Cars, & Crime. John mentioned to Blake that he was the leader of a new organization called the Crimson Syndicate. After hearing what they were all about, Blake was interested but knew he had to meet everyone first to get a better idea of what they were all about. He had no friends and no connections anymore in the city. He was ALONE. This seemed like a blessing in disguise. While the two were talking in a back alley way, they were all of a sudden surrounded by a group of men wearing nice looking coats and flat caps. The group called themselves The Shelby's and seemed to be trying to make a name for themselves. They had intentions to rob the both of them and asked them both to follow them behind the building. Guns were drawn. While being held at gunpoint, John talked it over with the other high command there, they ended up letting them go stating they didn't know who they were at the time. This was Blake's first real experience with the life of crime. For some reason he thought he should have been more nervous but he was actually feeling a sense of excitement. Blake gave John his number and John told Blake he would contact him in due time for a meeting. A week passed and Blake got a text from John. He wanted Blake to meet the crew at an unknown factory location. Blake was familiar with the city so after some land marks were provided, Blake knew the factory John was talking about. Blake knew this was probably his one chance to meet the crew and make a good first impression. On his way, he stocked his Bati 801 with all the Beer, Whiskey and Tequila it could hold. He thought to himself "who doesn't like booze". When he arrived, Blake saw a sea of white cars and white clothes. Luckily for him, his bike was already white. He was approached by John who told him to come on up and park his bike. Blake provided the booze he brought to everyone which seemed to be much appreciated. After meeting the crew, chilling, drinking and hearing what they were all about Blake knew these were his kind of people. Blake decided to join the crew as a recruit. John told Blake that this wasn't the life for everyone and there was no problem if he wanted to back out now. Blake really thought about that hard. He had no friends, no money, no connections, no respect in the city. He just had himself.... Blake accepted Johns offer and becomes a Recruit of the Crimson Syndicate

"I'm Never Switching Up Man I Promise" Tariq came to the city with nothing. He was left on the streets sleeping in his beat up Warrener - taking showers at the mall, boosting cars and stealing from local stores just to make ends meet. After meeting Tyrone and joining the Ballas, things changed. He had something he never had before - a family, brothers who he could trust his life with. Money, Cars, Drugs, RESPECT. The heated war with WCS took a toll on Tariq and the Ballas as a whole. The Ballas simply became out numbered. After seeing his brother Tyrone get laced up by WCS he really started to contemplate his life and choices. Was this the life he wanted? Blood In, Blood Out? Tariq knew one thing and one thing only, BALLAS FOR LIFE! It was the one thing that brought him life. It was what made him the man he is today. He made a promise that day to himself "Never Forget Tyrone, Do What He Would Do" "If you aint got no haters you aint poppin" A week passed since Tariq and the Ballas last encounters with WCS. Tariq and the other Ballas were laying low. Tariq was trying to enjoy the outdoors and took a walk to clear his head. He was approached by an unknown car - They began to shit talk him and the Ballas. Words were exchanged and Tariq tried his best to keep his cool. The man took it too far and threatened to beat Tariq's ass right there on the spot. Tariq was not going to take that shit - One thing led to another and they decided to meet in the garage to fight it out like men. No Guns, No Knives. Tariq did this for the BALLAS. For TYRONE. He would never let anyone tarnish the name even if it meant getting his ass kicked. After the fight, Tariq knew it was time for him to really lay low. He was being targeted every place he went. It was getting out of control. He moved back in with his cousin Jarome. Jarome agreed that it was best for Tariq to lay low and avoid Grove and WCS at all costs. Until things calm down at least...
