Original Covenant Ballas

[NorthTheJoker]

Alejandro Rivera was born to a small family that lived in a housing project in Jamestown.  Growing up, Alejandro was surrounded by crime and violence which would ultimately depict his future.  Alejandro would spend his time growing up with his close friends Joshua Edwards, Hakeem Turner, and Jayvantavious Gonzales.  These friends would begin the life of crime with various small time jobs.  They would become known in the area as thieves and low level drug dealers.  By the age of 16, Alejandro had already been arrested twice and sentenced to juvenile detention for one year, and on probation for the remainder of his life as a minor.  Alejandro would spend this time trying out different legal jobs in order to make a living in the world.  It wouldn’t be long before he decided that legal jobs aren’t for him.

At the age of 20, Alejandro would begin hanging out near Grove Street where he would meet a man named Drizzy.  He would begin to roll with Drizzy and his childhood friends.  After some time went by, we gained the trust of Drizzy and he would introduce us to a large portion of The Original Covenant Ballas.  The Ballas were a known name in the city that had respect and power.  Alejandro knew at this time, he was no longer going to be a legal civilian, and would be joining the gang life.

Childhood 

Joshua “Pepino” Edwards was born and raised in the Rancho Projects in Jamestown, A Few doors down from his close friends Jayvantavious “JJ” Gonzales, Hakeem Turner and Alejandro Rivera. Growing up in the Rancho Projects was rough with the constant gang violence over the large drug trade in Jamestown. During highschool Pepino would get into many fights over petty things like disrespect of his mother and getting ripped off for cheap weed. Things escalated his Senior Year of highschool though when JJ and Pepino and Tajo robbed a store at gunpoint and got away with it. Things went south when they were caught in the act of an active robbery Two weeks later. This robbery would land Pepino in Federal Prison where he met “Drizzy” , a member of the Original Covenant Ballas. Pepino would use his only phone call to tell Alejandro about “Drizzy” and who he rolled with and the opportunity that was there.  

 

The Current 

After Pepino got out he made a phone call to Alejandro they both met up at Pepinos Apartment in Jamestown and then walked over to Groove Street to kick it with Drizzy. They hung around with Drizzy and other members of the Ballas for about a week before being told that he could wear a Purple Durag. For a while the friend group from Jamestown dealt small amounts of Marijuana to the residents of Los Santos. But things changed when they got their hands on their first Kilo of Cocaine, but they called it Ski. They would flip this Kilo of Ski and order a lot more like 30 kilos more. After this Joshua could not go back the money was too big and too rewarding.

Talha started his life as a spoilt brat of a young hooker who used to live in southside of Los Santos. Ever since Talha was a kid, he was bullied by his neighbors' kids and used to come home with bruised face. His mother used to treat him every night and scolded him for picking fights with kids in the hood every day. But he didn't pay attention and kept on living like that for the rest of his childhood.

When Talha was a teenager, he started working with a local pimp who was making a lot of money but he was very stingy and didn't give Talha much. One day when Talha was sprinting through the streets, he bumped into some Ballas gang members. Ballas gave Talha some tough time with a fist fight in that back alley and left Talha again with bruised face. Talha got up and started thinking to himself if he let it go, they will do the same thing again to him at some point. So Talha pulled himself together and went to confront the gang members at Grove street all by himself. There he met Heavy K and started talking. Since Heavy K was a calm man, he listened to the story of Talha and gave him the word that if this was truly an unintentional accident, he will make things good for Talha. After that, Talha was good with Ballas and started showing up at the hood without a worry in the world.

When Talha started coming to Grove more frequently, he was eventually offered to become a member of the gang. Talha agreed to become a Balla and left his past life as he was very much interested in making money instead of wasting his time with the pimp.

As Talha grew older, he started handling business with other gangs in the city and stood up for himself and started making a name for himself among Ballas members. He was pinned as "Bullet" in the Grove street as this was the street name given to him by Heavy K and every Balla knew him by the name of Bullet

BEFORE BALLAS

Jenks Junior was born and raised in grove street, From the age of 4 years old he was out on the street from morning to night playing football or just watching the OGs drive up and down the hood with their chains blinging and watching them count their cash which he always looked up too, Jenks mum always tried her best to put food on the table, As his dad got killed by police on a traffic stop because they thought he was reaching for a gun, but Jenks knew that was a normal ghetto life and knew it wasn't going to be easy, He knew everyone in the hood was poor. 

HOW I BECOME BALLAS

When he reached 16 years old the Ballas knew Jenks was hungry for money so they started giving him task's such as bagging up drugs or doing drop offs on his bike. Around a year later "Mike" gave Jenks a massive opportunity to become an Hood Rat, this is where Jenks started to make a name for himself and knew he will always have a family he can rely on.

                                      John Blowman

                                Origin

John Blowman was born and raised oversea in a town named Pyrgos.

Pyrgos was a small village with extreme poor conditions almost like a favela. As a small child he used to sneak around avoiding trouble while his father was out trying to make money to support John, his adopted brother Buck and his Mother Mary. His main income was stealing cars and selling them to rouge mechanics in the area. So naturally he taught John all about the different ways of stealing a vehicle. When John turned 15 he started working alongside his father doing different routes to hopefully double the money as a duo, while his brother Buck started focusing on "administrative" work.

After two good years, His father was arrested and eventually murdered by corrupt police officers they have had some problems with. This is when John started getting into heavier stuff like selling heavy weapons and drugs. Things started becomming very dangerous, as the same police officers who had killed his father now started hunting John down. 

But John dissapaired and rumours started spreading he was dead. 

5 Years later   His mother Mary turns on the news and  hears that the very same 4 police officers who killed her husband were found dead in the woods not too far from where they all used to live.

At aproximatly the same time John showed first signs of life. But not in Pyrgos... in Los Santos where his adopted brother Buck originates from. Specifically, Grove street. 

                                                                    

 

                                                                         Balla's Introduction

He lived with his adopted brother Buck in Grove street for a few months where he naturally met Ballas everyday as its their neighbourhood.

 Eventually Buck established more and more contact with Mike and Pooria which led to both Buck and John becomming Hangerounds, spending time doing what John was best at. Stealing and selling cars, drugs and weapons.

Earning the trust of the Ballas, he was given the rank of Hood Rat.

After spending fifteen long and grueling years in prison at the Bolingbroke Penitentiary, King was released from his cell for the last time and got a lift from a gentleman to drop him off on the street where he grew up. He was from the west coast, born and raised in a city called Los Santos. When he arrived to his old home, one that was taken away from him fifteen years ago, there was nothing but the occasional barking of faraway dogs to break the silence of the night.

As King stepped out of the driver’s car, a few front doors from the houses lining the street started to creak open. Curious heads stuck their necks out of the door, looking to see why an unfamiliar car was pulling up on their territory. When King's family realized it was him, they came out to greet him, catching him up on everything he had missed over the past fifteen years.

King's family told him that their hood was no longer as it was when he left nearly a decade and a half ago. Their family was breaking into pieces because there was no one to hold the family together and keep the hood alive. King  turned to his brother, Mike, and asked for a piece. King was ready to make big plans to get money for his family, and bring back the hood that he once knew may years ago.

 

Mike managed to gather a few people - family, friends, and acquantinces - to rob a few stores around the city. Money and items started to flow into the family’s pockets. King, as usual, decided to take the lead, and called off robbing stores once they had made enough profit. He gathered up his family at Grove Street and split the cash and items from the robberies equally amongst his family. Everyone was celebrating, and thankful that King was finally home.

Thomas Nechro was born in Davis, a small residential area from Los Santos. His parents were poor and they didn't had enough money to buy a house, they rented a small house and lived together there. When Thomas was 19 years old, unfortunately his parents got killed in a drive-by in the hood. Without parents and without a job, Thomas didn't had enough money to continue paying the rent, left with no choices but to live on the streets and to find quick ways of making money by growing and selling weed, stealing cars and hitting stores around the city. One day Thomas went to Grove, where he met Talha and Alex chilling in the circle, he approached them and asked them how to join the gang. After Talha explained to him the process of joining Ballas, he invited Thomas to some store robberies in order to test his abilities.
 

Thomas being frequently hanging around the hood, he met with most of the gang members helping them with shipments and making good relations with them. He followed Mike's orders, one of the commands from Ballas, and one day he was giving the chance of becoming a Hood Rat. After Mike explained to him everything about the shipments, soon he began ordering and selling guns in Grove, making himself a name in the street and a big amount of money in a short period of time. After selling guns for a while, Thomas managed to save enough money to buy a house next to Grove, on Covenant Avenue.

It was crazy and typical night for Saturday, Ballas decided to attend a car show near Vinewood avenue, They rolled up as a group and had few drinks when something unexpected happened.

 

THE CALL

After busy night of hitting stores and dealing with gang, Mike got a call from one of the commands of well known criminal organization, Shenzhen Dragons, one of their leaders, Jonas asked mike over the phone for a meeting, Of course Mike agreed on meeting as he told his boys to get back in their vehicles and gave order to head back to grove. Upon arriving at grove street, Shenzhen were already there waiting for Mike and Other ballas'. Meeting was about scrapyard dealer who deals with imports of vehicle parts from several cities. Mike and Ballas in general has been working with that dealer for a while now, so that's why Dragons chose to contact Ballas in order to get to know the guy and talk about their future business plans.

MEETING WITH THE DEALER

Mike had no problem of introducing Shenzhen to the dealer, so he went straight to the point as he spoke with the guy. Mike explained that these people were good people and he would not have any kind of problem while dealing with them, Shenzhen also introduced themselves and later on they made few business orders.

[BigDaddyReggal]

Ballas been working on recruiting new members and keeping their family members supplied with ingredients and weapons as usual, after business meeting with dragons Ballas went to cartel in order to get shipment, at first everything was going well, but after cartel dropped the shipment from helicopter BD showed up and succeeded to steal the drop from ballas, after finding that out, Mike went to BD block with his members and started to circle BD around. 

 

Mike spoke with high command of BD and after that they had a little argument about supplying them and Mike decided to answer BD for the actions they did against Ballas. So ballas got engaged in beef with Black Disciples and it was start of the block war.

after few shootouts Mike decided to get his members ready and started to supply them with heavy weaponry, BD been checking and gathering information about ballas connections with cartel but it did not scare Ballas to keep placing orders for the family. after few days some of their members were ready for a fight.

 

the day after the meeting with one of the high commands of BD, Ballas appointed a meeting with them in public garage parking where they set an ambush for BD, of course BD showed up prepared and there was a huge shootout, police heard the shooting sounds of an AK-47's and pump shotguns and rushed straight to the place. BD managed to escape, but unfortunately for ballas, most of their members got arrested. 

Prison time was not easy as most of the balls gang members were inside D.O.C together, they were creating more and more problems inside the walls, Mike murdered someone for trash talking about his family and he got his time extended for 4 years, While they were inside the prison they were thinking about the comeback for BD and they were planning their next attack on them, most of the members got out while Mike was still in jail and Ballas had to make moves without him...

After Mike went out from the jail hood wasn't the same they still had beef with BD and soon after mike's release they had another shootout with them, Mike engaged into shootout and soon he found out that he killed the leader of BD, Deandre Boreland

Killing Deandre was very hard for Mike as he was the one who got him into family back in days, Mike felt very sad about and he got depressed very hard, after few hours from this incident, ballas went to Deandre's Funeral but Mike Wasn't there, BD and Ballas spoke about their tense hood situation that was going on between them and decided to make a peace for some time because none was up for shootouts after what just happened. Mike was thinking about quitting the family and going out of city for good, soon after the incident Mike found out that his Kingpin, Paul Chyz has been killed as well and that was the last drop for Mike, he decided to leave the family officially, he was still repping purple and was still hanging around the grove but he was not engaged in any business deals or gang activity.  

Paul's Death really affected Ballas, they were weak mentally and their motivation was very low, they had meetings after meetings when eventually they all agreed to disband and continue their lives in piece.

THE NEW GENERATION

After a few weeks of the hood being like a ghost town, All the OGs either dead or in death row.

Jenks and Lewis decided it was time to step up and get the ghetto back in order and do what they've done best, after losing their important connections to import guns, drugs etc into the city they decided they would have to branch out and build a better relationship with other gangs around the city. 

They recruited some of the youngers from the block to join Ballas and started hitting stores and robbing cars all over the city so they didn't come to the gangs empty handed and to show them they meant business and knew what they was doing. They scheduled a meeting with Lost Mc and agreed to bring them packed cash and stolen cars in return for a supply of weapons and drugs, which was good news as this would help Jenks, Lewis and the rest of Ballas to make a steady flow of money and to run the city like they always have done.

 

TO BE CONTINUED....

 

[LewE]

 

The New Generation of Ballas knew that they had to step up and fill the OG's shoes and start to provide a source of income for their friends and families. They rounded everyone up on the block and scheduled an emergency meeting to discuss future endeavours.

At the meeting it was decided that the Ballas could not continue down the same path the OG's took, it either led them to an early death or a prison sentence. This is where Lewis suggested they acquire a Legal business and use it to their advantage. Many ideas later and they had a solid plan in place, they would purchase a Liquor business. This would give them a source of legal income and a chance to import illicit items inside their liqueur shipments as a side hustle. 

The Ballas had already built a strong relationship with the Lost MC by bringing them packed cash and drugs and in return the Lost MC would provide weapons, but this time the Ballas would ask for a favour. Could the Lost MC introduce the Ballas to their import contacts. The Lost MC Obliged and scheduled a meeting. 

During the meeting the Ballas discussed their desire to get into the Liquor Business and that they would need help with getting a reliable method of importing. The Lost MC suggested that by shipping container would be their best bet as they had a few inside men. The Lost MC agreed to give the Ballas 2 Shipping crates a week and that they had to be mostly filled with legal items and that their men would turn a blind eye. In return the Ballas would keep bringing a steady supply of packed cash and drugs. A time and date was set, the first shipment would arrive at the southern docks at midnight. They would have 45 minutes to unload otherwise the ship would be leaving with their goods.

The Ballas swiftly unloaded their container and sorted the Liquor from the illicit items and delivered the goods to their warehouse.

 

The Ballas now had a stockpile of Liquor and Illicit items, they then proceeded to get to work and sell their Liquor to anyone who would buy it, their main customers were local Liquor stores in the Ghetto.
