THE REBELS - No city. No rules. No going back. 

Harmony, Sandy Shores & Paleto — Blaine County

Summary

Los Santos is rotting. Greed has taken hold, corruption runs through the LSPD like a disease, and the people who are supposed to protect the city's citizens are too busy lining their own pockets to answer the phone. The wealthy sit behind tinted windows in their sports cars while ordinary people struggle to survive on streets controlled by anarchic gangs and bent cops.

 

The Rebels want no part of it.

 

Founded by Pads El out in the dust of Blaine County, The Rebels are a small, tight crew of outcasts, drifters and disillusioned men who chose the open land over the corrupt city. They live off what the land gives them — fishing the local waters, hunting the county, farming and growing their own grain. They cook their own food, sleep under canvas and take care of each other and anyone who comes to their camp needing help. No questions asked. They are not a gang chasing power or money for its own sake. They are men who found each other at the margins and decided the margins suited them just fine.

 

The Camp

The Rebels don't stay in one place for long. The camp moves — one week it could be pitched in the heart of the city, the next up in the hills, the next on the doorstep of a rival's turf or right under the nose of the LSPD. Wherever the crew decides, that's where home is. No fixed address, no routine, no predictability. Just open land and wherever the night finds them.

But there is always one place to come back to. Rebel Radio, south of Sandy Shores, is the heartbeat of The Rebels. It is where it all began and where it will always return. Whatever happens out there on the road, Rebel Radio is home.

 

One Last Ride

Every man who joins The Rebels makes the same journey. One final ride through Los Santos — through the noise, the greed, the corruption they are leaving behind for good. No looking back, no second thoughts. When that ride ends and the city disappears in the rear view mirror, they are a Rebel. The county road stretching out ahead of them is all that matters now.

 

Vehicles & Attire

Sports cars and flashy bikes are for people trying to prove something. The Rebels drive trucks, choppers, muscle cars and dirt bikes — vehicles built for purpose, not performance. All black, nothing flashy, with a red bandana as the only colour. Tactical gear, jeans and boots. Dressed for the land, not the city.

 

Criminal Activity

Living off the land only goes so far. The camp costs money, weapons cost money, and helping others costs money. For this reason The Rebels boost and chop the vehicles of the wealthy — people who have benefited from the same corrupt system The Rebels reject. No drugs. Never drugs. That poison is part of the same rot they walked away from.

CHAPTER 2 — SOMEBODY ELSE'S LAND

Building the Arsenal

A crew without weapons is just a camping trip. Pads El knew that better than anyone. Word travels fast in the criminal world and it didn't take long for people to notice The Rebels were back. Messages started coming in. Old faces reaching out. "Yo are you back?" "Just seen your truck, are you in the city?" The original Rebels were gone, scattered across the city and absorbed into various gangs over the years — faces from The Rooks, The Lost, The Alliance, The Waterfelons and The Empire, all once Rebels, all now living different lives. But loyalty has a long memory. Pads reached out, called in old debts and reminded people of where they came from. One by one those old connections came through, quietly and without fanfare. Gun deals were made, the arsenal grew, and The Rebels had the means to protect themselves. Not much, but enough to get started. It seemed the name Rebels still carried some weight in this town.

The Lost's Land

It didn't take long to realise that Blaine County was not as open as it looked. Most of the Southern parts of Blaine County including Sandy Shores, Grapeseed, Harmony and everything surrounding Rebel Radio all belonged to The Lost. Every road, every patch of dirt, every building including Rebel Radio. The Rebels had made camp on someone else's land without even knowing it.

An Unwelcome Introduction

Pads approached The Lost the only way he knew how, straight and honest. He introduced The Rebels as a local camping crew, looking for nothing more than a patch of ground to pitch their tents. No guns, no drugs, no interference with Lost business. The Lost were distant. Another crew on their turf was another problem they didn't need. Desha Sparrow, Lost President, and Earl, Sergeant at Arms, made that much clear from the start.

Pads pushed. Could The Rebels pay rent for a corner of the land? No. Could they operate as a supporting club under The Lost banner? No. Every door that opened was closed just as quickly. Desha Sparrow had one suggestion — Paleto Bay. The Lost would offer assistance getting The Rebels established up north, but Sandy Shores was not up for discussion.

The Road North

Outmanned, outgunned and out of options, The Rebels had no choice but to move. They packed up camp and began heading north, scouting the territories and landscape that Paleto and the surrounding land had to offer. It wasn't what they wanted. But Pads said nothing as he rode out. He didn't need to. Every Rebel knew the same thing without it being said.

One day they would return to Rebel Radio. One way or another.
