LA GUARDIA

 ORIGIN:  IZTAPALAPA BARRIO, MEXICO CITY 

The traditions of the crew known as "La Guardia" were brought to Los Santos from Mexico City, specifically the barrio of Iztapalapa. Originally formed in the late 70's by Estevan Gama as a collective to protect their neighborhood they quickly rose to the status of a criminal organization by the mid-80's. With a heavy influence of Cholo culture and a background in practicing Santeria they quickly stood out of from the rest and have continued until present day.

Their transition to Los Santos was the movement of one member who saw the potential in reinventing his crew. A game of patience was played as he watched for the most loyal individuals he could find to form the founding members. With a heavy influence of the Mexico City OG's ideals the Los Santos chapter would move with a lot of the same goals.

The only drugs they partook in were those that were completely natural. A strict rule runs deep within them about not manufacturing or moving hard substances. Instead focusing on chop shops, robberies, small arms dealing, and graffiti art.

 

 

 GOALS, PURPOSE AND THRIVE  

• Color the streets with graffiti to display our culture
• Grow an extremly loyal family
• Promote La Guardia's events
• Manage a community-run grocery store

 

• Gain a foothold in Los Santos by obtaining a HQ and territory

• Establish alliances with small crews for Bank Jobs and Robberies
• Establish areas off site from their HQ to run functional chop shops
• Gain access to Cartel Suppliers for arms dealing
  
  
   RECRUITMENT: INVITATION ONLY BY MEMBERS 
  "La Guardia" are and will always remain a smaller crew, one that is based around loyalty and alliances rather than mass recruitment. The need for war and violence will only be deemed necessary when all other avenues have failed. For every recruit a meeting will be held with as many members as possible to go over the pro's and con's of their acceptance into the group.
  
  
  Obá Oriaté

  Obá is the founder/leader of the group.This person is the final call on decisions that cannot be worked out between the ranks lower than them.
  
  Padrino/Madrina

  Translates to Godfather/Godmother, these tend to be the day to day leaders of the group. They live by the core principles of the group and have shown an ability to teach and steer others in the same direction.
  
  Aborisha (or Abo's)

  The Aborisha are those who have moved past the recruitment and shown that their loyalty is true and trusted. They will make up the majority of the group and tend to be the core of the operations.
  
  Aleyo
  The Aleyo are recruits, these are the unproven. The group will likely have no more than a few of these at a time as they are to be closely watched and evaluated.
  
  
   OOC RULES 
• Minimum of 5K experience ((no new player tag))
• No admin punishments within the last 30 days

FUDGE LANE: HEADQUARTERS

In the recent weeks, the family has gradually expanded through connections from the citizens of Los Santos and other immigrations straight from Mexico City. The founders of La Guardia acquired a property on Fudge Lane in El Burro Heights after a civil meeting with a few mexican neighbours and some tacos. He gave the entire family La Guardia the key,to make it their home.

It was the perfect spot for the family to meet up and hangout, without any worry of police. To make sure that other citizens of Los Santos are aware of it being the mexican street, they spray painted the neighbourhood in mexican colors and hung up the mexican flag.

Working Alone
Part one

After the first few days working with her sister, one afternoon after she woke up Bella Cruz found herself in the city on her own, her family were busy or asleep leaving her to decide what to do. It wasn’t long before Bella found herself looking at the Mission Row Police Department - Can of spray paint in her hand, already shaken. She speedily tagged the station, front and back with ‘La Guardia’ or ‘LG’ for short! Right next to the main door Bella took the time to write ‘PD the OPs’ referencing the anti police mentality she held.

Apart from tagging up the place, Bella knew she had to make some money, for herself and her family. Every little helps. Back home she had experience in the car world; stealing, chopping, and selling vehicle parts to scrap yards for cash-in-hand deals. 

Stealing cars is one thing, but she needed people to sell the parts to. During her week in the city she had already heard about a few gangs, the ones that she heard the most about was a gang, who wore red, known as OTF, and a gang in grey, ESM. 
As fate would have it, after chopping up a car to it’s component parts, an OTF member known as [REDACTED] was wielding an automatic weapon, but spoke in a calm and agreeable tone. A short conversation later and Bella had her first buyer. Some price discussion later, with ‘his guy’ and the money was in her hands. Easy as that. Bella kept making some real money from chopping cars, and selling parts to gangs in the area. It gave her the ability to buy more vehicles, storage, clothes, food and drink and just whatever she wanted. As long as she kept some to the side for her family when they get back!

Working Alone
Part Two

Bella has always been fiery, a classic young Latina. She is also quite resourceful, which she has been able to use to her advantage a few times.

She was walking around the block, when she saw a fancy looking car parked at the tattoo shop across the way. The owner was in the store, getting some ink so she went for it. Attempting to picklock the car was a mistake, the alarm sounded, footsteps were heard. Bella darted for the alley behind the building. The man looked around then checked his car, getting in it. Bella sneaked up to the passenger door, bursting in, and pulling a gun from the cars glovebox before the man could react.

A swift robbery later, and Bella was away with cash, a gun, and various stuff she could pawn for extra cash and his car. Before she could make a full escape, she was lurking around, when she saw a police car with lights on make its way to the tattoo shop. Soplón, RAT! He called the police! Rules are rules, those who snitch; pay.

After preparing herself, she went to hunt for the man. He couldn’t have gotten far, as he was on foot. And his car was chopped up into pieces so he’d have to get his insurance checked out. Bingo.

Right there, at the Mors Insurance he stood, a rat and a living man. Two things that shouldn’t be in the same sentence. 

She cocked her gun and rode over to him on a stolen bike, she got off, shouted “****ing Rat!” and placed a single bullet in the back of his head, he dropped.

Sirens were heard almost instantly, and police arrived just after Bella managed to escape. They saved him... 

No. Not happening...

The man walked out of Pillbox after being seen to by a doctor, still weak from his injury just prior. Bella stormed beside him, raised the gun, and emptied the gun into his body. He was past dead.

Maybe the situation would have gone smoother if her family were there. Maybe. After getting home, and scrubbing her clothes, and hands, she thought long and hard about what she’d done. Taking a man’s life. That easy? She wanted to confide in her sister when she wakes up, whenever that’ll be...
