"Upgrades"

This day much as the last started off on the same note. Aki woke up to find Victor chilling in his personal spot, so she went over to join him. She filled him

in on recent events and some Cocerns she was having. Victor assured her that everything would be okay, so long as it went according to plan.

"Enough fish to feed the hungry bastards at home eh"

Later on that day, Aki found herself with a large sum of pennies in her pocket that her friend Elizabeth decided to scoop out. Shame those pennies were not quite the Gold she was looking for, but it'll do for now.

Aki then went to her apartment to take a nap, unfortunately all the fishing had taken its toll on her physically and she is very lazy could really

use the rest & relation time.

She awoke late mid-day to see alot more of The Family around as per usual, which was exciting enough to give her the willpower to head back down

to the Ocean.

During our fishing, our local festive fighter Christmas decided that he would like a tussle with a Fish, as part of our Thug training as well 

as "some well beat meat".

After Aki is finished with her usual try and fill a bag, get tired & sell, she is called up by High Command for an unspecified reason. She was informed

NOT to rush, but that didn't stop her from being clocked at 188KPH by the LSPD on her way to the drop-off. Oh well, there goes an hour of fishing!

Aki arrives very late right on time to our usual hang out spot, and she is greeted by 2 Black Hats and the leader of the Gangsters. The Family decides 

it's a great idea to have a laugh and inform her that she is no longer welcome here, which luckily for her speedy mind didn't last long. After the greetings 

& jokes were over, it was Business talk time. Aki as per usual spent alot of time speaking about her ideals and what she would like, and the Black Hats 

informed her of what was actually going on, and gracefully let her know that she had become a Trusted member of the family, and would thus be 

Promoted to join the Gangsters and be a fully fledged member of The Family. Delighted by this news she stood up, not knowing it unfortunately it

came with some grave news to be delivered by the Lead Gangster.

"Aki, congratulations on your promotion and i'm glad to have you under me, but there is only 1 way this can go. You have to throw off that

Pink Hat in order to become one of us. There are no exceptions to these rules"

Aki did ponder for a moment, but not about what might be expected. With a sigh of relief, she let Everyone know that she completely agreed with

this motion, and exclaimed that "Not even I should be an exception".

With a tear down her face, she offered up her beloved Pink Hat to the Lead Gangster. With this, a new Recruit would be able to finally spread 

her wings and do what she likes... What could possibly go wrong?

Bro you too good at this honestly.

"War"

Aki woke up to a nice peaceful morning. Unfortunately she was informed of the fact that a War had begun between the Council and WCA, along with the

Dojin-Kai. A meeting was called to discuss this matter and The Familys stance, and luckily we were all on the same page from the very start.

"None of our business"

The Family had all come to a mutual understanding that this War was something we wanted no part in. Each and every Black Hat quickly 

agreed along with Aki that we wanted to avoid conflict at all costs. We protect our own, but fighting at our current status is the same as 

carving the script into our own graves.

After this small meeting, we all went about our normal business. Interestingly enough, for The Family things were quieter than ever. No one was

interested in doing anything to fishermen during this ongoing dispute. Which was excellent news in our trade.

Although, unfortunately while hunting someone Aki and Jack found eachother in the same spot. Dippin' over to LSC after "unforseen events"

aka. a Tree, decided it would take the lives of both of our vehicles. Word on the street is that the Tree in question came out of the situation

with a free haircut!

After this... Well, i think some educated guessing can tell where we ended up.

"UK Drill is trash" - Aki

During this fishing feat, for some reason unknown Peter decided to strip down to his tighty-whiteys and go for a quick dip. Liam being 

the well educated fellow he is said the famous words "I'm just sat here getting my doll money, saving up for some council housing".

Aki decided this would be a good idea to teach some Family members how to dive & swim properly.

Unfortunately the events of Aki's clothing being remoted showed some high Testosterone levels in the group, and people got a little excited...

Aki made sure that they knew the deal. Much to her suprise, resident sadist Peter had some insight;

When The Family rolled up to the drop-off, they noticed 2 cars chillin there. They thought nothing of it until it was revealed these 2 cars were owned by

none other than Aribella and her "accomplice" (Aki forgot his name).

Aribella noted that she liked standing in position there, as it made her feel Dominant and that everyone was listening to her. Greetings 

were made, and everyone parted ways after Aki's comment of "Thats pretty hot".

And so the day ended back where it started. Everyone headed to The Familys common hang out spot, and Aki made sure that everyone

had what they needed before the night was out, thanks to our lovely friends up north La Familia.

"A Day in the Life of a Toll Booth Attendant"

 

Waking up early morning, Jinga Ling (A.K.A Christmas) decided to take a nice drive up Great Ocean Highway. On his ride north, he came across the newly built toll both's where he applied as a toll both attendant and started working immediately that morning. 

 

 

On the other booth Christmas met Mr. Ding Sum, not much can be said about his origins but it would appear he is a mix of Asian and Islander, very peculiar accent.  Upon having a very insightful and comical chat, Mr. Sum stated that he had been working close to a 24h shift and claimed to have seen a military tank drive past the toll that night (seems things are cooking up in the city). While chatting a very cool individual approached named Tyrel.

 

Ding was finishing his shift, and so he decided to let Tyrel take over the booth. While Christmas and Tyrel held fort, Ding went back in town with his friend Fez to buy a classy 1G Apartment in a very exclusive area in Los Santos.  Ding and Fez came back to celebrate the purchase and brought us some food to keep us healthy and then some dancing ensued...

 

 

During the night, Christmas and his newly found friends kept on grinding and the sexy dancing on-top of the booth continued to amaze all who pass through the toll.

 

 

Now you may think working the toll both is boring... 

But this is Los Santos!!!

"Events"

The day started off on a little different of a note this time, with a gathering at a Business Assosiates house. While there, Aki explained some concerns of

The Family's finances and where they were going. Everything was explained well to her by the Black Hats, and she left feeling that she really could trust them.

After this gathering came another, but this was a much more formal meeting. Aki, Liam and Victor assembeled at a nearby ATM to welcome

our Guests and show them to our hang out. There, a lot of conversation was had, and the group came to a happy mutual understanding

on a Security oppertunity. The Black Hats reminded everybody that The Family originally started out running Security operations.

Unfortunately the meeting was interupted by the tip-off that the LSPD were on their way over. The Family was long gone before they even knew

we were there.

Later on after the meeting had finished at a different Hideout Spot, The Family gathered back at our original spot consoled, as well as the usual

jokes.

"Victor why do i always see you eating?"

"Because he's a fat bastard"

Due to it being pretty late in the evening at that point in time, most of The Family decided to kick in and call it a night. The remaining 4 

members decided to head up north for some business, then chill and run the Toll booths for a bit. Aki on the other hand didn't want to wait,

so she chose to just fish nearby under the bridge. Atleast she would still be nearby to Family, as she gets Lonely super quickly.

Unfortunately this venture came to a tragic end. 6 men in Pink turned up and begun a Gunfight with the Family members on the bridge.

Aki hopped straight into her car, and booked it up there, engaging them when she arrived. She was Outnumbered & Outgunned, so gripping

her pistol she went down with her Family. Luckily, EMS arrived just as the men placed the barrel of their weapons to Aki's head. They scarpered

upon hearing the Sirens, but the damage was already done.

During this fight, Aki was shot 3 times with a 50Cal pistol, and one of The Family members was down. Upon EMS arrival, he was pronouced

DOA. Aki was given first aid treatment, and was sent off to the hospital, and upon exit she was greeted with The Horror of the news. She broke

down in tears, and vowed to those alive that she would find and execute the people who did this.

A long search begun by The Family after this, lead by Aki's rage. After some inquires, we were tipped off that this could be known members

of the Vory Mafia and this was later confirmed by Trusted Sources. Aki also had a name, mentioned by one of the robbers during the end of their exchange.

"Paul"

The group spent hours looking for them, over every square of Los Santos they can tread on. The search came up completely empty handed, with

completely no signs of the Targets. It was like they just up and Vanished.

The search was called off in due time, but not after Aki could take out her Rage on some folks that decided to attempt a Robbery on The Family.

Outnumbered 2 to 4, Aki and Liam put these folks to an early grave with over 200 rounds spent on both sides. Aki took the time to Skin their 

corpses, Spitting on them as goodbyes for what they tried to do, and to Honor the Member who passed away.

The day also taught Aki something new. Something that she is well... Not so talented at.

"Choices"

Aki started off the day on a wonderful note. While cruisin around with Jack, they were pulled over for "Reckless driving" by the LSPD.

You already know we didn't hang around long enough for them to even know who they were talking to.

After a 30 minuite chase with 10 Cruisers & A Chopper, the Pigs finally got us to a hault. Aki; high heels intact, took off running for the hills. She was quickly Tazed Multiple Times for running and set for her first run in Prison.

Aki arrived out of prison to be greeted by Liam, who claimed he had a present for her from Christmas. The package was lost during delivery 

and never seen again.

Later on in the day, the whole Family arrived in town and Jack annouced he had a suprise for everybody, Andy expecially...

It was none other than Emily Shelby! Aki was delighted to see the return of one of the Founding Family members, so she greeted her with

open arms. Again with her return Testosterone levels were extremely high from the boys, so Aki took a seat and watched it unfold. For some

odd reason Andy seemed extremely Sexually excited at the sight of his sisters return. 

"Andy once told me to undress so he could stare at me" - Emily

After things calmed down abit, Emily was able to formally introduce herself to the Family members she had not yet met, Aki being one of them. Aki noted 

down upon meeting her that she seemed extremely Kind Hearted & Sweet.

After this introduction was finished, Aki headed up north with a bag of cash and excitement to get to say hola to some friendly Vatos.

Aki enjoyed the Aztecas company as always while awaiting her business deal. Some "ORALE!!"'s were had and she left with her business

complete and a big smile on her face.

Aki sped home and dropped off her Merchandise at an unknown Stash House, then headed back to the hang out to see what was going on with Family

Members, as there was the usual chatter & banter on the radio. While outside, Aki once again took the time to appriciate the Familys choice of

vehicles for the day... Except for Liam, who was driving a tiny pile of shit.

"Why are always so fucking poor Liam"

Turns out the vehicle wasn't even his.

The day moved on, of which Aki spent the majority sleeping in her apartment. When she awoke that evening, she heard of some commotion up

at the Toll Booth. She grabbed a Heavy Pistol from her nightstand, hopped in her car and sprinted over. Luckily it was a better sight than the last,

but none the less it seemed people enjoyed fucking with us and disrespecting our name.

The Family ruthlessly hunted one of the Targets to Bayview, and a Member shot him Dead on the spot. Unfortunately, the member that did so was met

with a bullet to the head by a random rocking an Aztecas mask. The bad situation got worse when a known Triad member and a known Zeta member 

rolled up and started talking shit on the Family name, spouting various mindless claims. Aki & Liam stood and watched as they talked their trash,

taking No Action as a war is something we will NOT take part in, no matter what. The Family quickly escaped back down south and held an 

Emergency Meeting with those awake to discuss the events. 

A lot was said in this meeting, and a lot of that CANNOT be repeated. But, the group very quickly realised that a fight with the council was

the exact Opposite of what the Black Hats had ordered. They also found out that the Council members in question were likely not High Command

members, so this was a Relationship that could be solved with a simple Conversation with the right person. So The Family chose to not take any

form of Action, and wrote the incident off as an Isolated opinion of Some people in town.

"At this stage, We just have to sit by and take the hits. Everyone will know in due time, but now is not that time." - Liam

For all the faults, Aki found out the true outcome of this intense meeting....

Edited April 26, 2020 by Itzsonzy

[Itzsonzy]

Today we see a preview of what Aki is able to do.

 

The Family's sharpshooter is here, do not Underestimate her.

[Itzsonzy]

"Friends & Hostiles"

The day starts off on it's usual note. Aki & Christmas after a long night of drinking and dancing the night before, Headout out to the fishing spot and got to

work. Christmas displayed a lovely taste in music, and Aki took the time to play some bangers of her own.

Later on in the day more of The Family woke up, and Aki decided to get everyone intergrated into our new Hideout, which she had been planning

along with the Black Hats to become a stronghold and center for our Business.

While doing some light fishing, Aki noticed someone pull up and step out. Cautious, she withdrew her pistol and approached the man.

It turned out to be the leader of the Crimson Syndicate, who claimed that this location was theirs and they had been operating out

of there for weeks. Aki had her answer for this instantly and whispers to one of the Black Hats;

"This is Our place. They can either leave or take it from us. They can try atleast."

Aki set up on the roof just in case things went south. A long conversation was had between the Family & Syndicate leaders, but it 

seemed that there would be no middle ground. Both parties wanted the location, and the Family would not step down.

Aki, being reasonable as she is, decided to lay out the basics of her plan, and why this location was Essential to it.

Aki had been in contact with some OG Family members from back home in Birmingham, UK. She had proposed a simple business oppertunity,

and one she knew would bring Immense Wealth to the Family, both in Los Santos and back home.

She proposed that Family members began flying large amounts of Black Tar Herion & Opium from Birmingham Airport to Los Santos International

Airport. She had scouted out the Airports and found routes that were completely unmanned. Room for 24/7 supply, with plenty of Demand on

the streets of Los Santos. 

But, there was a large hole in her plan that was pointed out by Family members back home. Both the United Kingdom and Los Santos were extremely

strict on the movement of hard cash, and therefore it was regulated & watched by the govournments carefully. So Aki had to find a solution to traffic

Capital back into the United Kingdom, but not in the form of Cash.

This is when her plan truly came together. She had noticed a recent abundance of heavy weaponary flying into Los Santos and making its way onto

the streets in preperation for a brewing War. This was a Golden Oppertunity for the Family and it's assosiates, as the supply of heavy weaponary

back into the United Kingdom was extremely sparse at this time. There were currently no large organizations even thinking of Transporting heavy

weaponary into the UK, and this Chance stood right in front of her. All she had to do is reach out and grab it.

And so the plan was set in motion. She vowed her Family back home would also see the fruits of this Business.

Even with this reasoning sat in front of the groups, they could still not see eye to eye. Both still wanted the warehouse, so the family formally 

annouced to them that this area is ours. They are still welcome, but should they step foot here with the intention of claiming it for themselves,

they would have a massive problem with the Family.

After this Saga, the Family was called for a meeting with Explosion Enterprises. Aki was thrilled with this the moment she found out as a small

hole in her grand plan was that she lacked the Reputation needed to be selling Heavy Weapons on the streets of Los Santos.

The meeting started with Formal introductions between all the members present, and then got onto both groups Ideals & Plans. Aki chose this

as not yet the time to speak of her proposal, as she personally knew very little about Explosion Enterprises, only of it's Explosive (haha!)

coupled Leaders.

The meeting was a great one. Both sides shared many views and plans, so they were on the same page before they even knew it. The Family

even headed to Explosion HQ, in an unknown location & area. The Family responded to their Kindness, showing them around our own

HQ and beloved fishing spots.

After this, everyone parted ways and most Family members called it a night. After Aki woke up from a short nap, she was

greeted by Victor who simply said "Get in my car".

Aki hopped in with faith, and was taken to a nearby clothing store, where she was informed that she had been promoted to the rank of 

Major, therefore getting the Honor of joining Victor as a Brown Hat!

A weekend with a Shelby.

Major Victor Shelby

Friday is meant for party and fun for most people, but for Victor its just another day for reeling in all the fish he can manage.

"Fishing in groups makes it a party of sorts" 

In the Shelbys we are all about #equality.

Later on in the weekend Victor decides its a good idea to get a hold of a medical license for future events with the Family and what ever challanges they may face.

So he sits through the whole 30 minutes and learns how to treat anything from bullet wounds to broken leggs.

On his way back to HQ Victor Notices a large group of masked men in green outside of Central MD. 

Seems like something big is happening in the city "but nevermind that" he thinks and drives off to do some gambling up at Tequilala. 

Arriving at "The gamblers den" Tequilala, Victor starts playing some hands at the pokertables, and its going pretty well, all until  The butcher Liam popps up and they agree on doing a bingo for 10K.
That is, until The bois in blue shows up as well and crashes the party with attempting to arrest Liam
 for Unpaid speeding tickets made up reasons and Liam asks Victor to hold on to his belongings.
So he drops his speaker and bag and Victor picks it up now holding his own bag and his brother Liam's.

But the police had other plans "Drop the bag! And yours as well!" they scream as Victor puts the bag back on the floor but hessitating to put down his own, questioning why he must drop his bag to the floor.
"You could have made a switch of bags" they say to Victor, and he complies with their demand.

What Victor then relised, was that his bag was not full of fish like any other day. no, today it was a different kind of Meat.

And that was it for Victor Shelbys Legal reputation.

A weekend with a shelby.

Great thread, great RP, looking forward to seeing the uprise of the Shelbys!

[Itzsonzy]

"Growth"

Aki starts of by shadowing the interviews of some new recruits for the Family, helping Andy with asking any questions needed and making sure the process is as 

smooth and thorough and it can possibly be. Liam stood by on "protection", and did definately not stand there and do nothing.

As the interviews continued and the recruits piled up from a backlog of texts, Aki saw it as time to show the recruits they would be well

guarded by the Family, while also getting to feel important in her own right.

After completing the interviews for the day, Aki and the Family headed back over to HQ and begun their usual Fishing operations to show

the recruits what we are all about. During this time, Andy began boasting of his proclaimed "76" IQ score that made him legally classed as not

retarded. He clapped his feet to the song in solem Happyness at this "result", which the Family was very nice and complemented him 

about.

Later on in the evening, Aki noticed how the HQ was starting to really feel alive, with the amount of Family members hanging around. But, this

abundance of people she cared about also made her a little defensive, so she didn't hesitate to bring her Weapons out to the threats that

loomed around.

After this, the Black Hats annouced that we would be meeting with The Void, and they were on their way over to HQ now for some talks.

Aki took this as a chance to quickly get Family nice and lined up for a little snapshot.

As it happens, Aki's memories of this meeting at Void hideout were extremely scarce, but nonetheless some photos were recovered of 

the meeting, showing someone who looks like Aki there, but was later confirmed to indeed not be her. 

The meeting turned out to be a great thing, with both sides sharing many Opinions, morals and ideals. As such all members formally 

introduced themselves to eachother. 

Plesentries were had, but it unfortunately did not last long. According to Family members and assosiates, the LSPD came in guns blazing for 

an "Unlawful Assembly", which apprently requires SWAT. Nearly all Family members were either shot and wounded, or quickly Escaped

under the Snouts of those attempting to Supress them. Tragically, an unarmed Void member was shot down during this Operation

by the "Peacekeepers" in LSPD. 

While many took for the Hills, countless members on Both Sides and were taken into Misson Row. It was later confirmed when Aki spoke

to Family who were arrested that they were Interrogated for information on our Operations. Good thing all parties arresed Wouldn't talk

knew nothing!

"To Protect and Serve? More like to Abuse and Supress"

And so, the Family headed back to HQ to breif on the events and inform everyone of what had happened. Aki chose to spring into

action, and spread the information she knew on the LSPD's tactics and operations, of which she compared with that of a Rat.

At the end of it, the Family looked at the Silver Lining; They desperately grasped at loose ends from their Lack of Information, The

Family lost nothing to the Assault and best of all by far in Aki's mind...

They had no clue of the plans she had set forth.

"Enjoy chasing dead ends!"

BEING PUNISHED FOR METAGAMING.

Thanks  

"War & Mystery"

The day starts out an alarming note. Aki wakes up to hear that the Crimson Syndicate after having their Leader beg for mercy at the barrel of a shotgun,

had chosen to Hit our members at HQ during the night while the Family were asleep. Aki was infuriated that they would even try anything

after the Massacare the day before. Nonetheless, the first shot would be taken, now it is Our time to follow up.

But first, time to catch some fish.

The Family chose to call upon their recently formed Allies at Explosion Enterprises, and call them down to HQ to meet along with the 

Crimson Syndicate Leader, who chose to turn up Unarmed and begging for mercy. During this time, Aki was posted & ready for any

form of Attack from the chimps, but ovbiously they would not show when it mattered.

During this time, one of the Syndicate members like many others that the Leader had no control over, chose to text an Explosion making claims

about having to "Clap" them. Lucy & Herbert instantly took this threat as fighting words, and joined the Family into the "Disbanding" of

the Crimson Syndicate.

The Mouthy & Disrespectful Leader was let go after being asked some questions. He chose to keep running his mouth upon exit, and once

he was cleared from HQ Aki took it upon herself to show him some Manners. He chose not to listen, so he suffered a fate the same as 

many others.

No more talking

After these events, the Family chose to head up to an unknown location and have some bonding time with our good Friends. While this

War would be costly, it had bought both the Explosions and the Shelbys something that money cannot buy.

A closer bond.

Now it was game time. We would follow the Walk that the Syndicate did not have the balls to follow. We would Hunt them down

1 by 1.

"Thanks for your car & hair, they serve as a great donation to the Family."

Later we found the same gentlement suffering the same fate after shooting a Family member then Snitching to the LSPD.

He laid on the ground crying his eyes out as we Laughed.

Don't worry. We will put you out of your misery right under the noses of those Pigs.

Later on in the evening when the Hunt was finished and Family members went to sleep, The Void called for a meeting to see if this

could still be resolved. Family command chose to attend, trusting that The Void had no ill intentions. 

Before they knew it, Rats rolled up from everywhere and swarmed the 3 Family members there, killing 2. Aki survived the assault due to

The Void not wanting to stand by and watch the diplomat be slaughtered. Which she was thankful for, but the Damage was done.

The Family lost all respect and trust gained with The Void in previous days, as they stood by and watched during an ambush after 

agreeing into an Alliance just the day before. Aki, as the survivor spoke to their leader and explained her point of view and where she now stands.

"The Family has lost any Trust & Respect for your Crew as you choose to watch us be slaughtered at a diplomatic meeting arranged by

none other than Yourselves. You are not willing to Act when push comes to shove, and therefore you will be nothing close to the 

Asset promised to us."

She turned her back, and walked away. There was no interest in Cowards.

Later that day, the Family again joined their Friends in a "ritual" to Honor the single Fallen comerade during the days fighting. Lucy 

Kindly handed donuts to all present, and everyone begun munching away to the sounds of cries, and the shared memories 

of the one who had fallen.

"I'll never forget those sweet ass cheeks" - nomnomnom.

Aki happily took part in this, and her bond and trust to the Explosions became stronger than ever before. They showed with actions

that they truly were a Family, and this was something Aki held very dear to her on a personal level.

The end of the day came with some Mystery for Victor and Aki. They were approached by an Unknown Man who offered something that

ringed Dollar Signs in Aki's ears. They went over to HQ to discuss things further. While there, the Unknown Man claimed that he only 

had 2 conditions that must be followed in order for them to be able to do Business. The first, was that this conversation Never Happened. The

Only people who are to know of this was the 2 Family members and the Boss. Everyone else did not need to know anything, which Aki agreed

too.

"A big part of a Family is the trust you have with eachother, so not everything has to be explained as all Members know and 

trust that it is for the better of the Family"

And so after meeting an agreement on this, the Unknown Man then went into his 2nd condition. The Family was too attempt to put

a diplomatic end to the war just as it was starting. The Man was very clear and simple in his reasoning for this;

"War earns nothing. You guys should be out there making Money, not fighting over things with other Crews"

Aki was extremely hesitant at this thought, as she had a personal issue with the Cyndicate. But, the Unknown Man had offers and 

promises that Aki knew would be extremely good for the Family. Understanding the motives, Aki agreed that she would Attempt

to put an End to the war, as requested. But, she wanted to make it Crystal Clear that this all had to run through the Boss before anything 

could be set in stone. The Unknown Man agreed with this notion, and agreed to meet with the Boss himself when he could.

Jay Robertson was sat in a cell, this wasn't the first time he'd been here, but it was the first time he had been here long enough to take some time to think about his move to the city, and what it meant for his life moving forward. But we're getting ahead of ourselves, lets take this back to Jays first day in the city, and the story of The Pacifist.

The Beginning

Jay had arrived in the city with nothing but good intentions, he liked fast cars, shit chat, and women with loose morals. His first goal was to scope out the import scene to see what he would be cruising in for his time in the city. With an empty wallet and no job, he relied on whatever freelance work he could get, farming, servicing ATMs, and delivering parcels. He worked his way up to afford a crappy car to get him to and from his jobs, but the money was piss, and the grind was getting to him. Jay needed a way out.

The Betrayal

After only a few hours in the city, he was made an offer. A mysterious man wearing a mask in a black sports car pulled up next to him, asking if he wanted to make some quick cash. This was a no-brainer, and Jay did something he swore not to do  lightly again, and trusted the un-named man.

The plan as described was simple, in the trunk of the car, was a shipment of drugs that needed delivering, all that was needed was a lookout, and Jay figured that it wouldn't hurt to just let them know if someone was pulling up to the dropoff, so into the alley he went, checking the corners to give the all clear. Once he did however, the betrayal began...

A gun was put to Jays head, and the simple command of, "Get in" was given. Fearing for his life, he got in the passenger seat of the car, with another man sitting in the back now. They kept Jay at gunpoint until arriving at a store out of town. Jay was made to get out the car, go to the teller, and whilst one man held him at gunpoint, he was to grab the cash. Somehow, LSPD showed up after only a couple of minutes! Saved! Jay thought, but alas, he  had been set up, as soon as the sirens were heard, the two masked men dipped in the car, leaving Jay holding an armful of cash, and a teller pointing out some very incriminating footage. Despite Jays pleas, the cops refused to believe his story, so Jay got to experience his first look inside the DoC prison.

The Family

Jay was shaken, a stint in prison had him back on the line, farming, fishing, doing what needed to be done to upgrade from his crappy car. 

One sunny afternoon, Jay was headed to the Bank to pick up his paycheck, and whilst he was waiting, struck up a friendly conversation with a polite chap in a flatcap and overcoat. The conversation mostly revolved around cars, work, and Jays recent jail time, but after a while, Jay learned the mans name. Victor Shelby. 

Victor was helping Jay figure out his next steps in the city, and made a proposal.
"Come meet the family, we could use someone like yourself"
Jay, now with a record to his name, and nothing to lose in his wallet, decided to see what this offer was, so jumped in Victors car to meet The Family.

Jay was driven to the scrapyard, and whilst he had nothing of value to steal, was still a little on edge, Victor told him that his family operated on respect, so having some common ground, Jay prepped himself for an unknown conversation.

The meeting was more of an interview, but to Jays surprise, The Family seemed really keen to get him on board and working ASAP, Jack and Andy Shelby in particular, told Victor to get Jay into uniform ASAP, and put him to work.

The Pacifist

Jay quickly proved his worth to The Family, and impressed the High command so much that he quickly rose through the ranks, being seen as more of a strategist and advisor, than a heavy hitter, despite having put several unwanted guests at meetings down in his time.

Somehow, Jay ended up receiving one of the highest honors that he could have received, he was taken to a location, and told take the Black Cap. Jay was stunned, the Black Cap was typically reserved for family members, and to have earned the trust of The Family was something Jay could now look back on with pride. The new cap wasn't just for show though, Jay was given more responsibility for our recruitment, legal matters, and diplomacy, which suited him fine, as he was looking to earn a gun license so he could distribute to some of the less legal family members. The Head Gangster, Liam, found this incredibly amusing, and gave Jay the nickname of "The Pacifist".

The main goal for Jay, was getting The Family cash, a legal front was needed, and that came in the form of buying certain businesses around town, all which require that which everyone needs more of, cash. He was back to grinding, but with a higher purpose now, and a brand new car to his name that he could race, he was content.

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword
How about akis' shotgun?

The Family was growing, and with that growth, came the watchful eyes of some of the other gangs in town, and even the LSPD. Some were friendly, some were neutral, some kept their distance. At first, they posed no issues to the family, and they continued their business of making money and giving out awful chat at the docks.

Things however, were about to change.

 

One such incident was after a meeting with The Void. A meeting had been called to establish neutrality between the two, and after a fruitful meeting, everyone was feeling pretty friendly. What the two crews didn't know however, was SWAT units were sat right outside the manor, waiting for the perfect time to strike, As people got into their cars, they stormed the manor, with assault rifles out and some already firing. Jay escaped with Liam in his car, speeding through a police blockade on the way out, and dipping down alleys until the coast was clear.
"Jay, you just ran down a LSPD Captain at that roadblock"... Liam had been sat in the passenger seat, and in the commotion, noticed that in the haste to escape, Jay had hit the Captain and he was most likely dead.

This put Jay on edge, his car was likely wanted, and its driver, Jay, along with it. He hid the car, and left it for a few hours to lay low, hoping the heat would die down. Unfortunately, Los Santos rarely let's things go to plan.

The Upstarts

A new crew in town, The Crimson Syndicate, had decided that The Family was encroaching on their turf, and gave some strong words to tell Shelbys to back off. This of course, wasn't going to happen. The Family had worked too hard to just give up territory to people who spoke of respect, but gave none in return. After a heated meeting with one of their High Command, the decision was war, helped along by taking the head of the HC who dared speak ill of the Shelby name.

What started as a simple decision for Crimson, quickly turned out to be an error, with some of their men losing lives, hair, cars, or guns. Crimson quickly called another meeting, and begged for forgiveness and peace, with a cost of paying $1,000,000 to the Shelbys, and Explosion to split.

After this meeting, Jay and Liam were pulling out of a parking garage, when 2 police cars lit their lights up to pull them over. Liam was in possession of an unlicensed firearm, and Jay was sat in a vehicle that only 1 day prior, had killed an LSPD captain. They sat in silence for what felt like an eternity.
They could be running the plates, matching the description, calling in backup.
Jay was running all the likely scenarios in his head...

"We're leaving", Jay announced, and screeched away from the police. He didn't want himself or Liam getting caught on a routine traffic stop. The chase quickly escalated, dipping into the city, onto the highway, back into the city, and pulling 5 additional units into the chase, as well as someone Jay was hoping not to be in town... The Police Captain, driving a white super-car that glued to the back of him. After trying to dip down an alley, Jay clipped a bin, which seemed to get caught in the axle, grinding the car to a stop. Jay was going to prison.

Rebirth

Which brings us back to the beginning of our story, and arguably, the most important part. Jay now had a record, making a gun license nigh on impossible. With a lot of time to think about his future, and his role in the family, he made a decision.

"The Pacifist" was dead... What came next, was still unknown.

Memento

 

Memories can be like flashbacks, eventful days that lead to nothing or casual days that shower you with misfortune. Christmas truly believes that the only thing he can do is remissness on the Ying & Yang of Los Santos.  

This particular day Christmas  felt like paying a visit to LSPD and taunt the officers as his car was illegally toed near the Police Station, these cops feel like the own the streets.

 

After getting his car out of the impound, Christmas decided to pay a visit to Ding Sum who is running the tools like a G.

 

After a few hours holding it down, a few Triads stopped by to wait for the shift change, they were also kind enough to offer some security (LSSD always be lurking):

 

After a good days work, Christmas got a call from the Family HC asking to meet back as we were about to meet some new explosive friends...

 

Upon arrival, we met a great group of people who had a very peculiar color that Christmas has seen in town, maybe even heard of them referred to as the "Donut Gang"

 

After talking to a few of the members and sharing some stories, it seems that the Explosive Enterprise have quite an entertaining and skillful set of people. This will definitely brew some interesting adventures.

Good luck fellas keep up the good work

“The council”

Emily had come back into town after a nice sleep in her rented Apartment outside of the city. Emily had come into town early that day for a nice productive day. It seems like the Crimson have stopped their late-night attacks when our numbers were so small. Little did we know something a lot larger was about occur which was way bigger than our issues with the Crimson.

It all started with a small meet with James Sakamoto the leader of the Dojan Kai. It was only Emily, Andrew and Liam in town at the time. Once he had arrived Emily stood standby as Andrew and Liam was talking With James.

Jack Shelby had said that we were neutral within the war between the Council and an alliance which is against the Council. This was because we did not have the men or the need to go into a war that big at such an early stage of the family. This would only cause more issue than benefits.

Emily, Andrew and Liam finished their conversation with James, he had left the area and the three continued to fish.

Jack Shelby had come into town later that Day to have another meeting with James since Emily, Andrew and Liam were not allowed to come up with a decision on what happens next that is the Boss’ call.

Everyone stood away from the meeting and nothing could be heard. The meeting had been concluded and Jack was now beginning to ask the higher ups on a vote for whether we should get involved in the war. Jack had now seen far greater number of benefits to joining the war which would fuel the Shelby’s for long to come.

With the Shelby’s current goal, we could not go into a war straight away and would first have to finish their current milestone to get the Shelby’s in full working condition.

James had then invited the Shelby’s to come meet some of the members of the Dojan Kai. Names were exchanged and everyone began their favourite activity fishing.

 

 

The Shelby’s had spent some time at the fishing spot and spent time talking about our deep love for Jay and how amazing he truly is. Lola began to try and win Jay back after rumours that were spread. However she was unsuccesful in her mission.

 

Everyone had went home and the shelby’s went to our favourite spot. It was a day which would later change how the shelby’s would run and affect them in the future and make a bond which would come in very useful in the future.

Best of luck you guys, definitely one of the best organization/family I've had RP experience with!

"Choices v2"

The day starts off with a little catch-up. Aki and the Family woke up to find some devastating news that Lucy & Herbert had been deported, and

had no clue when they would be able to return. A Meeting was held with the remaining Donuts, to make sure that they were now a part of 

our Family and they were more than welcome to join the Shelbys. 

Later on, Aki found herself as usual being harrased by LSPD with them chasing her from top to bottom of Los Santos in Victors Rapid GT.

They never managed to catch-up, but she later handed herself in after missing a few business calls because her phone had to be off or the 

nonce detectives would come and "Touch Her".

After this Aki chose to team up with Victor and get a drug operation going for the Family so that they could begin establishing themselves

in the Narcotics Trafficing industry. Both of them took to this job like Moths to a lamp, and the operation was quickly underway with the first

table in the Crack Den.

"Now Liam can afford to buy a car to sling dope out of"

Now it was Meeting time with the WCA & Dojin-Kai after the Family chose their side on the war, and ovbiously they would side with 

the winning side. Also, Aki had a long-term issue with Los Chimps for their repeated disrespect and unprovoked attacks on the Family

and it's assosiates. It was time for the Shelbys to step in help with the final blows to the Council.

Each crew showed up to the meeting in numbers and ready for action, which the Family took pride on after the groups spoke

about their showings with The Void, or atleast lack their of.

Each crew got into position and looked Chrisp & Clean while awaiting WCA arrivial. Many plesentries and jokes were had during the

wait, and the High Command of Dojin-Kai showed their disipline by bowing in respect to the numbers shown by the Family. Many members

of the Family followed this by taking off their caps in respect to our Brothers from oversees.

Then, the Assasins arrived in numbers and more Strapped than ever before. They moved in proffesionally, and each crews High Command

went off to the side to speak big business, most of which was agreed on the stomping of Los Chimps.

With this many numbers gathering, many Chimp scouts began to appear, talking out of their rear ends as per usual and making claims with

only 6 men. All parties looked up and thought....

"6 Free AKs!"

The group went up to see the Chimps once the meeting was done, which was first interupted by Jesus Himself and then by the LSPD, right

as the group was getting ready to spill some blood.

Next, Aki again found herself at the abuse of the LSPD, and along with Jamal (Who did not even sit in the car of his own free will) ended up back in

DOC yet again. 

After serving her time, Aki went back to their Spot to find loads of randoms chillin and fishin. She made sure just incase to check for any

Wires before letting them be at peace, but now she knew that this place was Comprimised and the Operation had to be moved elsewhere.
