Puzzling Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Originating from the suburbs of San Francisco, Cobras originally were a group of high school friends, run by the young Iris Alverado. A small group of car fanatics, the group stayed within the law, working out of their parent’s garages. As the Cobras gained notoriety throughout the Golden City, they also gained enemies, one of those groups being Octane. A similar racing group, Octane was led by one of Alverado’s childhood friends, Elias Holmes. As the two aged, Iris and Elias grew further apart, eventually despising each other throughout their childhoods. Their adversity grew as they further developed their groups, the feud between Cobras and Octane becoming well known. Yet, everything changed on the dark evening of July 14th, 2015. Octane had created a treacherous track, one that would weave through the most populated streets of San Francisco. It had been planned for months, Elias having taunted Iris to beat him, her taking him up on the offer. As the racers gathered, they set off, city lights illuminating the streets. It only took seconds for cops to be on their trail. Police cruisers rushed to their cars like flies to a dead animal, swarming them from behind. Panicked, some racers had fled quick enough to avoid the police, yet Iris and Elias had stayed on top of each other, head on head to finish the race. Approaching Portola drive, Iris gained the lead, pushing her Elegy through the pouring rain. Taking a tight corner, she lost traction, her car spinning out and crashing into a light post. Frantically attempting to start her car, the distant police sirens grew louder, as well as the roar of Elias’ Massacro. Over the thundering rain, she could hear him shout, “GET IN!” And that’s where it all began. Elias and Iris became incredibly close friends, Elias eventually leaving Octane behind to join Iris on her adventure to expand Cobras. Reminiscent of the adrenaline they felt racing through the streets at night, 12 on their tails, the crew decided to delve into less legal forms of racing. As they aged, Cobras evolved into a small, organized group of racers. With only twelve members, Cobras engaged their community with legal car meets as well as racing. The club had remained in a positive light with the gangs of the city, their meets a place of neutrality. As much as Alverado and Holmes attempted to promote legality, the group rathered having fun over staying within the bounds of the law. Near late June of 2020, the group became hostile towards law enforcement in the city. Supervisors in Cobras had been fired from their jobs, frequently being targeted and charged by the police. Much to her dismay, the group began to purchase firearms and alliance with other gangs in the city. Yet, Iris and Elias attempted to keep the reputation of the group high, the public unaware of their activities. After five years of hosting races throughout the Foggy City, the SFPD had enough. The constant street racing had resulted in countless accidents, civilians frequently injured. With active BOLOs for Cobra cars, members could not even use their own vehicles. On August 31st, 2020, the crime suppression checks began. Hot cars that had frequently been raced were indefinitely impounded, members torn out of their cars and searched on the streets. The crew wanted to fight the police, yet Iris and Elias refused. Gangs had offered the crew membership as well as access to heavy weaponry, yet the two again, declined. Intent on staying as legal as possible, the club planned to stay in hiding, until the knocks came. With police at their clubhouse door, the crew knew it was over. Escaping through the roof access, most members were able to get into a car and evade the police. Catching a ride with another member, Elias and Iris escaped to nearby Los Santos, renting out a cheap motel room. Unbeknownst of the status of other crew members, the two have been lying low, planning their next moves. Currently, the Cobras are still trying to get their footing in the new city of Los Santos. Short on money, the they hope to retrieve their old vehicles and discover a new headquarters that will keep them hidden from law enforcement. There goal is to host car meets and racing within the city while inviting anyone to race to show there skills, keeping a constant flow of street racing throughout the state. The Cobras maintain few members, preferring to keep a few organized members. Inviting anyone to come and race as long as they are respectful and willing to learn. The group operates more as a council, less as a gang. The President works with the Vice President and Supervisors to organize events as well as make decisions. The President is in charge of managing relations with other groups and gangs, as well as overseeing all events. The Vice President works with the President and Captain to organize events as well as make decisions. The Vice President will work with supervisors to make sure that events are being planned and there is no internal conflicts between racers. The main goal of Supervisors is to meet people willing to race, as well as organize and promote events. Supervisors must bring something unique to the table, they must be willing to dedicate themselves to the group and be just as active as the President and VP. Trials are Supervisors in training, usually shadowing a Supervisor to learn the group dynamic. The rank is quite a difficult one to earn, trials rarely being recruited. Racers are the people who are not in the crew but they are known to be racers and make appearance to events, having a passion for racing. These members can be from any group, they do not need to be a cobra. Anyone is open to racing and willing to learn is welcomed. The first goal of Cobras is to recruit new supervisors as well as search for past ones that may have fled. Secondly, the group hopes to find and establish a new headquarters that will keep them hidden from law enforcement as well as other gangs. The owners hope to find a quiet location that contains somewhere to park their cars as well as modify them. The Cobras next must buy and modify race worthy cars. They also hope to meet people around Los Santos, staying neutral or positive with gangs throughout the city. After gaining presence in the city, they hope to organize races and car events, including racing for money and racing through the city at night. If races are successful and community interest is high, Cobras would like to recruit more general members. The end goal of Cobras is to become the go-to crew for street racing, with organized events every few days, as well as casual racing. Always be respectful of fellow members and racers. Race fairly, no pitting, ramming, or cutting ahead. Remain neutral/positive with other gang members, or civilians. Official Cobra races must be approved by the President and Vice President. Any changes must be run by the Supervisor crew. Drag or street races that involve city tracks may never be run during the daytime. Never stop a race for the police, a decent driver can lose them easily. A minimum of 25,000 experience on any character is required to join. Activity is required. Inactive members will be removed unless a higherup is notified of a LOA. No admin punishment in the last 30 days before joining. Exceptions can be made depending on the punishment. Follow all ECRP server rules. Failure to comply will lead to your removal from the faction. Provide top quality roleplay at all times, including, yet not limited to interactions with police, medics, and civilians. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
