cyruss613 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) The Los Santos Saints (LSS) started with just 5 people. Cyrus, Frankie, Joker, Lulu, and Jamal hadn't been in town long when they discovered the hard truth. The big gangs in the city could do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. Eventually, these 5 came across two new citizens in town named CJ and Shawn who were like minded, and the 7 of them formed The Los Santos Saints. As time went on, they set out looking for members to join their cause, and occasionally did what they could to try and make a name for themselves. Eventually, they learned the ins and outs of the criminal underbelly of Los Santos. They dipped their hands into what they soon learned would have immense potential for wealth and growth, however, they ran into the same issues they've always had. The gangs that had already made a name for themselves previously established systems to run everything from the chop shop to gun running. The Saints grew tired of the oppression and decided to fight back. What was once a gang had become a family. We are currently in the early building and recruitment phase to what will strive to become something great. Every single person in the Saints has felt the foot of some of the bigger gangs press down on their throats at least once, and has decided to join the cause in making the criminal world of Los Santos a fair environment. Our main enemies are currently Los Zetas and their allies, and while we realize we've got a lot of work to do to stand a chance against a gang of their stature, we are willing to do whatever it may take. The Saints are constantly searching for active recruits who are willing to put in the work to help us expand and to establish their rank within our family. We are also looking to make and acquire new allies and connections in the city to help ensure not only ours, but the city's business runs as smooth as possible. Our plan is to expand to different parts of the city offering a wide range of services to the people of Los Santos. While we will offer our services and support one of our main focuses is making the people of Los Santos feel more secure while conducting business within the city by providing a safe and secure place to conduct business meetings and transactions where there is no worry of being robbed or hustled by the other party. We also plan to create a movement to show the large gangs of the city that they can't extort or rob everyone they find without repercussions. While we don't require you to have any experience to join us, that doesn't mean we don't expect anything from you. We operate like a family, not a gang, so the first thing we look out for is each other and we ensure that there is no internal tension so our business continues smoothly. With that being said, we have certain standards we will expect from you. We expect you to have a serious want and will to settle in nicely to the city and to be there for your family whenever needed to ensure that we stay strong and continue to grow. If you want to tryout or think you have what it takes to become part of our family look for the colors red and white and contact one of your local Saints to get in touch. If any of the lower ranks have contact with someone that may be interested in joining, they must contact a Bishop+ ranked member of Los Santos Saints. OOC : - Read, understand and follow the server rules and regulations, anyone who causes too much trouble will be removed - Become familiar with the chat actions and commands - Promote good and healthy RP for the gang and the server to make everybody's experience more enjoyable - If you are able to record your game play, it is highly recommended as it will help with any situations that may arise regarding server rules - Be respectful to everybody OOC, OOC insults will not be tolerated - If you are going to be inactive for longer than a week, please notify a higher up. We don't want our gang filled with inactive players IC : - DO NOT rob randoms. The Los Santos Saints only rob people that are our enemies or people that mess with us. - Respect gang members and our allies at all times - No snitching or ratting out to the cops about anything that involves a fellow gang member or ally - Stay true and loyal to the gang, if someone asks who you're affiliated with, don't be afraid to tell them. We want to represent our colors to whoever wants to know - Always carry a radio on your person, this is the best way for us to communicate gang wide if help or assistance is required. Colors/Masks: The Los Santos Saints can be seen rocking red and white colors. At the moment we also keep our masks Christmas themed because ya know, Saint Nick. Ranks: While we have ranks, we do not let these titles get to our heads. We work more like a democracy than a dictatorship, and no decision is made off the want of a singular person. Deacons and above will be able to voice their opinions on whatever matters they want and the leadership will take into account everyone's opinions on the matter. 1. 7 Pillars The 7 Pillars are one of the 7 founding members of The Los Santos Saints. When they are in town, they tend to the bigger picture and leadership of the gang. This rank is not achievable unless decided upon by all other active Pillars, as currently only the founders of Los Santos Saints have been given this rank. If a member of the 7 Pillars dies ((ck)) or leaves town for good, the remaining Pillars will convene to discuss a possible replacement. 2. Saint Saint is the highest achievable rank for anyone in the gang, but to get to this point you have to prove a multitude of things to the 7 Pillars. To receive this rank, you must show that you are loyal, trustworthy, helpful, have leadership tendencies, and can stand the test of time. Any members of the gang that are this rank may assume leadership if none of the 7 Pillars are in town. 3. Bishop Bishop is where the leadership ranks of The Los Santos Saints begins. These members are given permission to recruit new people into the ranks of the Saints. If none of the 7 pillars or Saints are around, people of the Bishop rank may assume temporary leadership to make tough decisions if necessary. 4. Cardinal Cardinal is the highest rank in the Saints that isn't considered a leadership role. However, this rank should still be respected by it's inferiors as the people of this rank have had to invest more than just time into the gang. These members and higher are expected to keep track of new recruits to the gang, to see how they fare out as a possible member of our group. From here on out, these ranks and above are also expected to provide for the gang, and it will provide for them in return. 5. Priest The rank of Priest is earned through showing that you mean more to Los Santos Saints than just another body to take bullets in the line of action. Priest's are expected to collect crucial intel on possible recruits and to contact Bishop ranked members and higher if they believe to of found someone worthy of joining the Saints. 6. Deacon Deacon is considered by most the actual entrance rank of Los Santos Saints. To obtain this rank, recruits must spend at least 1 month ((1 week irl)) within the gang, and then prove themselves through a form of initiation that is decided upon by a Saint ranked member or higher. After a Recruit has proven themselves worthy of becoming a Deacon, they will gain access to more information and gang affairs than they previously had. 7. Recruit Recruit rank is the beginning of a person's tenure with Los Santos Saints. This rank doesn't get much information regarding gang affairs, because as we allow nearly anyone the ability to become a recruit, we don't want our plans and important discussions leaked by an enemy spy. Recruits must work hard and prove themselves to earn the right to become more of a part of our gang's family. - Establish a base of operations to conduct our business negotiations and trade deals - Fight back against the oppression of some of the bigger gangs of Los Santos - Help newcomers to the city learn how things work in town - Claim a part of the city as our turf - Offer protection to shop owners, mechanics, EMS, and the LSPD - Participate in legal and illegal ways of making money to build the gang treasury to establish property - Establish a business off of offering protection against scamming in deals that people may feel unsafe making Edited April 12, 2019 by cyruss613 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyruss613 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Knowing that the oppressive gangs of the city have the numbers advantage and strong allies to boot, Los Santos Saints knew that they had to build some friendships to stand a chance against their horde of enemies. After spending some time around Los Santos, the Saints made a few friends. Dlugi McShea happened to be one of those friends, and he brought up the potential for an alliance to the higher ups of his crew, The Marcello Family. The Saints and The Marcellos would convene to discuss their interests. It turned out that they had quite a few common interests, and they formed a bond. After some time had passed, The Marcello Family became more and more prominent within the city. The groups decided to meet again to discuss further plans and goals involving the upcoming war with the bigger gangs of Los Santos. Shortly after, the leaders of both groups decided we should get some of the newer recruits together to meet each other to get to know their allies a bit better. At this meeting the groups also discussed plans moving forward with radio communications between the two. The Saints had also gained some friendships at Tequi-la-la through some old style drinking and gambling. After a situation with a psychotic postal delivery driver, 2 of The 7 Pillars Shawn and CJ had met Hunter Morgan. They discovered that he was like minded in restoring the city's criminal activities to their true potential, and they planned to meet his crew. The Saints decided to show off some of their heavy weaponry they got off of some Zetas to show the potential allies that they meant business. Both groups quickly realized that they were a good fit as partners in crime. During the war with Los Zetas, The Saints realized that in order to have a better chance they needed to make strong allies that could reciprocate their hatred for the Zetas into a driving force. 2nd Saint Shawn Morningstar, 5th Saint Vasily Fodorov and many members of The Marcello Family met with the leading members of a newer gang in Los Santos called Vespucci 13. They came to an immediate understanding that all groups wanted to eradicate Los Zetas from the city, and thus formed a mutual alliance. After careful deliberation, all three groups decided to head out and complete their first hunting party to make their alliance official. They headed out on the search for Los Zetas and their allies.

cyruss613 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) In regards to recent events and overall distaste of the city, a few of the Pillars of The Los Santos Saints had decided that their time in Los Santos should come to an end. After saying their goodbyes, Pillars Lulu and Joker had departed. The remaining Pillars had decided that new leadership would be welcomed, and they brought Felicia BaeBae into their ranks, who showed the diligence and leadership qualities that the gang needed to succeed. After some discussion with the new member of the Pillars, it had been decided that Jamal should be moved down to Saint status, as he had to tend to more personal issues and couldn't dedicate his time to group gang activities. Now, there were two spots open in the 7 Pillars of the Los Santos Saints, and those that remained convened to discuss who should fill the ranks. It had been decided that Saints Vasily Fodorov and Joey Morningstar should fill the empty leadership spots of Los Santos Saints, and their introduction ceremony had begun. With both Vasily and Joey ready for what was to come next, the group headed to the local tattoo parlor where the branding equipment had been previously heated and set up. The two men were prepared for what was to come, but they could never anticipate the pain and burning sensation that was about to be inflicted upon them to prove they had what it takes to become a Pillar of The Los Santos Saints. First up was Vasily, who was to become the 5th Pillar. After seeing the pain and anguish that possibly the strongest man in the gang Vasily had experienced, 3rd Pillar Shawn Morningstar was worried for his brother Joey. They weren't blood, but they grew up together in school as friends and when Shawn's parents died Joey's family adopted him. Joey however had no fear in his eyes, and was prepared to become the 6th Pillar of The Saints. After the brands had healed, the group got together to discuss the future and structure of the gang on a well known rooftop of Los Santos. The family bond became even stronger, and the two men were ready to go where the journey of leading The Los Santos Saints would take them.

ShawnsBeard Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Today some top members of The Los Santos Saints decided it was time to make more of a name for themselves around the city. Saint Shawn met with Cyrus of the First Five to discuss plans for the coming day. After some deliberation, Cyrus and Shawn decided we'd convene with more members of the Saints and our allies to discuss hitting the bigger gangs where we'd leave a mark. Four Saints and an ally from Devils Rejects met to discuss the plan, and soon after set out to search for some enemy gang cars to take to the chop shop. Honestly, the Saints figured there would be more of a fight. They thought Los Zetas and the Irish Mob were supposed to be running and operating the chop shop, not getting their cars broken to bits and sold for parts. There was plenty of money to be made for The Los Santos Saints and their allies. Edited April 16, 2019 by ShawnsBeard 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
