The Midnight Club was an infamous elite-racing team formed on the year of 1987 at Tokyo, Japan. The Club was notorious for racing around the Wangan Highway back in Japan, often reaching unthinkable speeds. The Club's specialty and was most famous for highway racing on the Wangan, a 70km stretch of undisturbed road in the heart of the Japanese Capital. The Wangan was especially popular because it was the perfect catalyst where 300km/h monster machines could shine. The Club was highly regarded as the best of the best when it came to this type of racing. However, due to a tragic accident the Club was shut down in 1999 and was thought to never return.

Fast-forward to 2019, Akio Asakura the son of a Yakuza leader turned Writer returned to his hometown after spending years in Los Santos. During his time in Japan, Akio had the opportunity to meet with one of the retired members of the Midnight Club. His mentor took Akio to an old workshop where he kept his vehicles. Removing the cover, dust flew everywhere and revealed a tuned 800 horsepower car. After practicing with this mentor of his, Akio was given his blessing and wished him luck in reviving the Midnight Club. Once Akio felt he was ready, he did not want this new Midnight Club to suffer the same undoing as the previous one, so he decided to make some changes first. One of such changes was that the newly revived Club would not specialize in highway racing, rather a more modern and up to date form, that being track racing. However, the biggest change to come was that this new Club would not take place in the land of the rising sun, but it would be formed in Los Santos, San Andreas.

Currently, the Midnight Club is still at its very infant stages. The current roster of the Club is still very small, however expansion must be done with caution. The Club will not partake in open illegal activity and will try to maintain a legal image as much as they can. The Club members will not have any uniforms, colors, or specific ways to dress. The only thing we ask is to have a decently fast car and to only use masks when we are racing or doing something illicit. During daytime operations, it is forbidden to use a mask. The Midnight Club has a code in which our racing must not endanger civilians, meaning that driving recklessly without reason will result in punishments. When representing the Club we must be able to not only drive fast but drive fast safely.

Update 11 / May / 2020: Akio has successfully gathered a team of experienced racers and made them part of his command team for the club. On top of which, the club has since grown over the 10 members bar that Akio has sought to achieve in less time than he aimed for, that being a month. The club has also made their first successful public event where they raised some money to fill in to the club treasury.

Update 26 / May / 2020: The club decided to make a big event where a car meet was hosted in a public parking lot. Following this event, the Midnight Magazine was launched not long after, the only Automotive magazine in Los Santos. The magazine attracted a lot of people including Tom Moretti, who decided to join the Club and lend out his property for future car meets. The biggest car meet yet was made in the property with a prize of over $500,000 courtesy of Motorsport for providing a 9F Cabrio. Shortly after the meet, James Eriksen reached out to Akio and decided to sponsor the Club entirely. To close off the deal, James gave the Club $1,000,000 in order to kickstart the sponsorship.

Update 18 / June / 2020: The Club has experienced a recession soon after its peak. Many members left the Club due to neglect and the Club losing sight of its core. The Club was on the brink of disbanding, until a breath of fresh air was introduced. The Club returned to its roots of street racing and car competition. The old hangout known as "Underground" in Little Seoul as well as the Beach Club was replaced in favor of the new Headquarters in La Mesa. The Club has since rebound back to a stable place and is prospering once more.

An abandoned spare-parts warehouse for numerous automotive brands. The compound has since been untouched until found by the Club. The Club soon moved in and made themselves comfortable around the large parking area, indoor sections, as well as wide roof access. The Club has found a new home.

Following the Club's reform, the ranking system also had a drastic overhaul. The Club now follows 2 ranking systems, a main rank of your position in the Club as well as a Driver Ranking that gauges your skill in racing.

  • Maintain neutrality with the Council and other major criminal factions. (No hostility has been made with any criminal faction. Gained respect from several other groups.)
  • Continue to be under the radar of the LSPD and not brand ourselves as an illegal organization. (The club largely consists of legal workers and reformed criminals. Police has not interfered with any of the clubs operations.)
  • Start underground race events and rally drivers around the city. (The first public race has been made and the club has successfully profited. More races are to come with more unique guest drivers.)
  • Gain enough memberships to sustain the club (10 members). (In less that one month the club has already surpassed this number. Recruitment will be continued even further.)
  • Start drift events as well as muscle & classic car shows on top of regular races. (The Club successfully made legal car shows using the newly acquired Club Midnight and plans on making it a recurring event.)
  • Raise the club treasury to a nominal of $1,000,000 (Due to the publicity the magazine made, the Club successfully gained their first major sponsor, Motorsport who has injected the Club with $1,000,000. On top of which, the weekly dues the Club collects makes the treasury a considerable amount.)
  • Acquire a property or business location to make a headquarters. (With the addition of Tom Moretti into the Club, Club Midnight was successfully opened as a base of operations for the legal side of the Club.)
  • Increase memberships to a considerable amount (25 members).
  • Gain a business license and arrange legal races.
  • Arrange legal events to raise money for the organization.
  • Acquire either Benny’s Auto Workshop or the La Mesa LSC Workshop and start a mechanic service (End Goal)
  • Become a 100% legal club, profit from the workshop as well as build a new community around the workshop (End Goal)

The recruitment process must be done entirely In-Character. The most we can do on an OOC level is arrange when one is online and ready to roleplay or not. Recruitment has a few requirements to be considered:

cIbUaTo.png

  • A minimal of 10,000 experience on any character. May be bypassed if player shows great roleplay capabilities. Strictly no new players, please come back at a later date if you still have your new player status.
  • No admin punishment in the last 30 days before joining. May be bypassed depending on severity of punishment.
  • Must show great roleplaying capabilities. Due to the nature of the faction, if you are not one who are interested in text roleplay and tuner roleplay you will not enjoy the faction to its best extent. We are not a rob-shoot-grind type of faction.
  • Must be mature and be able to maintain a healthy roleplay environment.
  • Must be willing to roleplay driving realistically. We do not want to see people driving the opposite lane on the highway or driving on sidewalks, destroying lamps, etc..

EavQmjH.png

  • No current illegal faction associations unless only as a Thrill Seeker.
  • Ideally would have a legal job in tandem with the Club.
  • Must be able to drive at high speeds without losing control and obtain a good lap time.
  • Must own a sports vehicle. Any style is welcome, however tuner cars (Elegys, Sultans, etc.) are most favored.
  • Must follow the Club’s codes and respect the senior members.
  • Respect other peoples vehicles. Diversity is what will make the club great.

Woah. This looks super fun. Are you branding yourself as a civilian faction? Just curious, because we don't really have many official civilian factions.

I suppose you could say it that way. We are not a gang. The only "illegal" thing we will do is doing races. I hope that answers your question!

The relatively small club gathered that day. They needed to start expanding, however they did not want just anybody to be coming into the club. They decided that they would hold a race open, the first one in Los Santos since the club was formed. The plan was that the races were meant to attract people to come in and find out more about the club.

fjcX1Ir.jpg

However, this race was still very small. Only 3 cars attended the race, 2 of those being club members. While they wanted to arrange a big event, only those the club trusted were invited. Then again, it didn’t stop them from having a blast during the race, that is the number one purpose.

After learning the track that Akio planned out for them, they decided to up the stakes and make it even more interesting. A small bet of $5,000 per car was put in a pot, the winner of the race would then take the money. Since it was just between friends, they kept it small. While Akio easily won the first race, a “double or nothing” bet on top of it made him lose the entire pot. Nevertheless, it got his blood pumping for the night.

After the race was over, everyone went their separate ways for the night. Akio was cruising around and trying to find something interesting. Just as he was driving in cruise, a Sultan RS suddenly pass him going 200km/h in city limits. As soon as Akio caught eye of it, he turned off the cruise and took it up another gear. Then all of the sudden...

An SUV shows up out of nowhere and get into a collision with the Jester. While Akio was knocked out cold, the Police caught wind of the accident and came on scene. Seeing the condition of the car, the Fire Department had to be called in and hopefully get Akio out of the wrecked Jester.

After he was pulled out, Akio regained consciousness and was taken to the Hospital. While he wasn’t hurt too bad, he was more worried about his set of wheels being towed away. Thankfully, he caught up to the Mechanic before he could impound it and managed to take it back to shop instead. Akio promptly paid any and all bills to get it repaired to pristine condition.
