"Street Gang"
Phase 1 (Pink)
Mara Salvatrucha, commonly known as MS-13, a gang that incorporates the best gangsters from across the world. Originally, MS-13 worked in the backstreets of Los Angeles, California where making rivalries was a key component to success and inflicting fear and resilience into the gang made the gang almost unstoppable… Until the day came where it all started catching up to us. Rival gangs were robbing drug cartels and the ambition of becoming a national gang became too much! Due to the amount of gang leaders being put in prison, a small group of MS-13 decided to branch off and ride into the streets of Los Santos. However, this time the gang was going to operate differently and learn from their mistakes! The Leaders Angelo and Vikstav began creating great relations with many of the gangs in the city and hitting many stores without being caught once! As the gang progressed, more and more gangs started remembering the name ‘MS-13’ or in some cases ‘The Pink Gang’. This new found popularity did not phase the gang as the leaders still had bigger ambitions to become even bigger and perhaps rule over the streets of Grapeseed! On March the 10th a group of MS-13 members rolled into Grapeseed and managed to locate a HQ and meeting place, this victory was massive as they finally have a place to live and trade at. Changing the gang's mentality was important for Angelo and Vikstav as previous attempts to grow the gang had failed due to bad ethos. The criminal life has always been extremely important to MS-13, as it's pretty much the only way of life for some of them. Even Though, it is important to remember our origins we have to try to adapt to stop disastrous events like previously stated, but Angelo and Vikstav still enjoy the process of purchasing heavy weapons and distributing them around the gang for our own safety.
A few months had passed and MS-13 were getting tempted day by day to fight! As numbers began to grow so did the ambitions of MS-13, this could change everything... Would the Leaders change the core values of the gang? After a high command meeting lead by Angelo it was then discussed that joining in with the gang wars was not an issue, however; he made it clear that this is not something MS-13 should be doing on the daily! Due to this meeting it had given confidence to the gang and filled them with belief and excitement of the progression of the gang. As plans begin to form for MS-13 so did there enemies. As many gangs at the time was looking for an alliance with them due to there new emergence within the city and the down to earthiness they portrayed. When sides were chosen MS-13 knew instantly that they would have to look out for themselves as they had now lost the neutrality with all the Gangs!
Phase 2 (Grey)
Nearing the peak of MS-13 it was time to move into the next phase of the gang, due to the departure of some high ranked members of MS-13. Angelo knew it would be time to evolve into the final version of the gang. This included a change it clothing that could be harder to identify in the publics eye, also Angelo believed this would give an element of surprise to other gangs that may think they were still rolling round in pink. Due to phase 2 beginning Angelo was beginning to sort out all the new roles and perhaps prepare people for this as it would have to be the hardest they have worked in there life. The backstreets of Grapeseed was still being used for day to day business and the new look had been praised a lot by friendly gangs, and they believed it was a much better look for us as a well respected street gang.

Clothing has always been important for MS-13, however due too moving to a new city funds had been low and the old clothing of MS-13 was the only option available. Times have now changed and money has started to trickle in, this meant that Angelo could now go the phase 2 of the gangs new look, He hopes this should suit the gang a lot more and perhaps keep us more hidden from other gangs.
One of the most important fundamentals of MS-13 is the Skull Back Tattoo, This tattoo isn't just any tattoo, this symbolises the gang and provides an identity to the gang. The procedure of having the tattoo may be classed as quite painful or perhaps unnecessary, but this is the way of life we choose and the Leader Angelo Capone requires every member to be put through the initiation.
The Middle Men Of Los Santos
(Grapeseed)
After finally reaching Grapeseed the place that is the bridge between the North and the South. MS-13 had settled into GrapeSeed well due to the varity of the area, from small backstreets at the back of shops, to an large abandoned arcade ready to be taken over, and finally the long and complex roads great for street races! The Leader and High Council of MS-13 have already discussed plans for Grapeseed and cant wait to bring these ideas into fruition, however still need some time to establish connections with Mexico and purchase the HQ they are waiting to go up for sale.
Bringing life to Grapeseed is the main goal for MS-13, this includes bringing gang activity and transactions within Grapeseed, as well as hosting events for all citizens of the city and also making sure that these events will interest everyone. These plans are part of the MS-13 project to be a different gang is Los Santos and not to be focused on just the fighting, but more of a hub of activity both legal and (Main)illegal. Creating a facade to the gang is important as we want to attract the average citizens to our events, but have backstreet outgoings that they may not know about...
