This post is meant to be viewed in default (white) theme, sorry for the inconvenience. 1920, the harsh lands of southern-eastern France fell a victim to the largest operation the area had ever seen. When a local group named Mercia succeeded in doing the impossible: robbing the Banque de France , deep underground it contained vault, which harboured vast amounts of gold deposits.. This day marked the day Mercia became a name to be reckoned with, a group that soon would expand beyond the borders of France, and conduct operations all over western Europe. From supplying people with narcotics and shipping weaponry, Mercia would become one of the largest organisations across Europe. The wealth generated would be used to expand Mercia's influence all across the continent, and s in 1976 Mercia had multiple branches from the United Kingdom, to Russia. Aiming to extend their reach, Ashley Burton, the granddaughter of the founder of Mercia, left Europe along with a couple of the original Mercia members and headed for Los Santos. Known for the chaotic nature of the city, Ashley thought this location would be perfect to expand Mercia's reach into the Americas, which has till this point been untouched. One of these investments was to set up base in the Vespucci Canals, with it's connection to the sea and dockyard, Ashley thought this would be the perfect location for future plans. Upon arriving at the city, the members of Mercia purchased property in the Vespucci Canals and started to hire some members. Knowing the city’s reputation, Mercia then set out to contact of the gangs that currently rule parts of Los Santos and talk to them, about setting up alliances, and trade agreements. Currently, Mercia is trying to establish trade and defensive connections with other organisations and gangs within Los Santos. Whilst also increasing our reputation, and generate more wealth for all it's members. As Mercia is a business, we have plans to establish legitimate forms of income, such a businesses, and protection contracts, , in order to cover up our illegal activities, whilst also generating job opportunities, and wealth. Due to the disappearance of the Los Santos branch of Mercia, Ashley Burton, the current leader Henk Frederiksen took charge of Mercia and quickly set out to radically change things. First of all he expanded Mercia's base of operations across the seas, made heavy weaponry to protect all Mercia's assets more widely available to it's members, and also change Mercia's public appearance. Mercia’s main goal is to maintain control over the Vespucci Canals and beach. Aside of that Mercia's other goals are to leave a mark on Los Santos, by ensuring everyone knows the name Mercia and that's its a force to be reckoned with, but most importantly, Mercia wishes to establish proper trade agreements, and generate enough wealth for the organisation, and it's members to prosper. In addition, we are planning to start real estate business in the Canals, by monopolising it, this will help us launder the money that we earn from all of our illegal activities. Mercia is planning to extend it's reach to all areas connected to the ocean, as this will allow the organisation to trade overseas, and take a firm hand in all commerce regarding overseas shipments. Mercia started as a medium class organisation, but is steadily working towards a smaller, elite, high class organisation. . As the history of Mercia says that the main organisation, based in Europe, is a powerful, wealthy group, who took control over various aspects of the legal, and illegals of the economy. So the Mercia branch based in Los Santos will work towards the same goal. First we took a hold of the Vespucci Canals, using diplomacy, wealth, and strength, and now we work to obtain control Los Santos's economy. As for the moment we're extremely picky with who we allow to join and who not. Our minimum XP requirement is set to 30K EXP, and will most likely be pushed to 50K EXP very soon. We are mainly out for quality members, members we can trust with confidential information, members who are able to RP very well, and would be able to remain professional, and in character while executing our events. We also have material requirements for our members, they must be able to arrange their own transportation, means of communication, and defence. We do not seek strength in numbers, we want each of our members to obtain a reputation for themselves in, and outside Mercia. And make sure they can stand on their own in whatever situation is thrown at them. Mercia mainly focusses on the importing, and dealing in weaponry, as the weaponry economy is mostly player-base, and has you set up deals, and interact with other organisations, and individual players. Trading weaponry is a lot of fun for both parties involved, and results in some great RP scenarios, we wish to large-scale weapon transferring scenarios in the near future, when stock allows us to. We also have our hands in the narcotic business, we set up large scale operations, sometimes at multiple drug labs at once, and with the use of codewords we can quickly coordinate where reinforcements are required, so the operations can run smoothly with minimum interference. But most importantly we wish to have fun, exciting RP scenarios with everyone from the community, this ranges from PD to other illegal factions. We want to do large-scale heists, police breakouts, the smuggling of illegal substances in highly secured areas. These events we of course do in cooperation with the ECRP staff team to make sure everything goes smoothly, and make sure everyone has an enjoyable, and most of all memorable experience. 1. As an organisation we want to obtain our hold on the Vespucci Canals. 2. Mercia is also planning on working on a contract between our business and other businesses or gangs of Los Santos, in the form of trading deals, and long term defensive pacts. 3. We are also going to strive for all of our members to own a home inside of Vespucci Canals as this is where the heart of our business lies. 4. We wish to expand our influence beyond the canals, on obtain assets at all locations with access to the sea. 5. We want a steady income to ensure the prosperity of all Mercia's members. WORK IN PROGRESS 🙂 @frijfugel Formatting, writing, images @KilleRabbit Graphics, huge help ❤️ @iAvengejjw Images @HaminLord Writing @MusketDeezNuts For all the feedback and support All the Mercia members for the good times, pictures, and great feedback. The community for all the support and feedback we've received, although we've changed quite a lot I hope you'll all still support us.

The Monroes story begins with Narcos. Narcos was one of the biggest gangs in Los Santos. Weazel News even made a documentary about Narcos and their leader, Samo. Soon after Narcos split will call apart the leaders and elites created the Monroes. They learned that the real money is in the heavy gun sales, high class robberies, and extortion. They learned petty crimes are hard for such a small reward. They don’t believe in bloodshed for no reason. They believe that business is power and money brings power. The Monroes are a small but well experienced members. They don’t need numbers to win wars, they use money,businesses, extortion, and most importantly their experience to win. The members are wealthy living in mansions, driving high end cars, wearing nice and professional clothes. The Monroes are taking what the success they learned from Narcos and building on top of that to make an empire. They are tired of doing petty and unorganised crimes. They are still parties at heart though. Narcos had some of the largest parties ever seen in the city. The Monroes plan to keep this spirit and tradition into there bigger and lucrative business ventures. Currently the Monroes are looking for new business partners to further control the city. They use businesses to affect not only government officials personally, but to control other criminal organisations too. They are also looking to add a few well experienced and high class individuals to the family. Though they remain small we pack a powerful punch, and we can disrupt everything. Due to the lack of ability to import heavy weapon and tools, they have been buying and selling personal caches. They always find a way to get what their clients need. Power, we want absolute power over Los Santos. All of our future plans rely on power. There's a saying mo money mo power. We believe that's true, we want even more money and more power. We want to own all of the businesses so we can control pricing, and mobility in the town. If you’re stuck paying $100 per gallon you won’t be driving for very long. Gain control through any means of 50% of the civilian owned businesses. Be the biggest importer of illegal and heavy weapons. Extortion in the areas necessary Control the real estate and car markets Boss The boss, is head of the organisation, the boss is a director and has the power to order anything. The Boss makes all the important decisions, much like a CEO of a company would. Although each mob boss may run his outfit in a different way, they have one thing in common: they are greatly respected and widely feared by their subordinates. All of the men in his outfit pay him a tribute and universally feared. Consigliere The consigliere, or chief advisor, is the Boss' right-hand man. He plays one of the most important roles in a crime family. He is the close trusted friend and confidant of the family boss for strategic information and sound advice. The consigliere is meant to offer unbiased information based on what he sees as best for the family. He’s not supposed to factor emotional concerns, such as retaliation and blood feuds, into his decisions. Unlike the underboss the consigliere is not required to be a direct relative of the boss. Instead, he is chosen solely for his abilities and the amount of knowledge he possesses. Generally, only the boss and underboss have more authority than the consigliere in an organized crime family. Underboss The underboss, is second-in-command in the hierarchy of the Outfit. His level of authority varies from zip code to zip code, but he is ready to stand in for the boss at any given moment. A family may have six underbosses. Capo The captain of a crew. He heads a large crew of soldiers and can order them to do anything, such as murder, assault, bombing, witness intimidation, bribery, picking up cash, making deliveries and other criminal and organized crime activities. The captains report directly to a boss or underboss or overboss, who hands down the instructions. He ranks much higher in the hierarchy of the highest Mafia. He is also in charge of handling most money. Soldiers The lowest-ranking members of the hierarchy, the grunts of the organization who do the majority of the work, making deliveries, picking up cash, committing murder, assault, battery, witness intimidation, killing jurors, bribing Law Enforcement, Politicians, Government Officials, and Federal Agents, and generally sticking out their neck in the hope of making a name for themselves by demonstrating their loyalty to the organization, and protecting the organization at all costs. Associates Associates are not directly in the family. They consist of petrol station owners, gun store owners, and wealthy individuals. They help us control the town through means of goods and necessities. They are also people wanting to seek power and be free to do what they wish legal or illegal. Rules Follow and respect the hierarchy. No unnecessary bloodshed. No petty robberies or activities unless directed. Be Professional- Members are to be professional in all aspects. Not just in the way that they look but also in the way they carry themselves. Loyalty to the family - Family comes first no matter what, radio on ready if family needs help. Politics We will not be disrespected. If one of the family members is disrespected we all are. War is a last resort for us, it costs money and time. Useless bloodshed will not be tolerated. We are businessmen and women first, we make deals and negotiate. We supply to gangs, organizations, and the very wealthy. We are very classy and well organized family. We have a very specific uniform that must be worn at all times. Male members must wear a black suit with a red tie, black shoes and black skull masks. Female members must wear a black pants suit, accompanied by black heels with red undersoles. You must stick to all EclipseRP rules at all times or you will be removed without question. Everyone must use Discord to stay informed and receive the latest announcements. Knowing how to properly RP is a requirement to be in the family. Our goal is to bring quality RP to the criminal world through different means. This doesn’t mean you have to be the best RPer but having a good understanding is necessary. We want a win-win environment in our family. This means working towards compromises that are a win for everyone. We don’t tolerate bullying. This doesn’t mean that you can be thin skinned. You will need to be able to take a joke or two. Most importantly we want everyone to have fun, and enjoy their time interacting and being a Monroe
