Vikings

[Toby_Iommi]

Club History:

The Vikings was founded in the cold north of Scandinavia in the year of 2020 due to a fallout with a previous motorcycle club by the name of Hells Angels.

The Snoller brothers always had a dream to establish a faction on their own, so when a core member Toby and his right-hand man Freddy was forced out in bad standing - it was like a sign from god. Now, the wheels were turning and things were set in motion. A decision had to be made from all the parties involved, needless to say the boys decided to support Toby and Freddy in their quest to abandon Denmark and everyone else behind. The ambitious bikers of Denmark were once again riding, but this time they were on their own in a world that seemed so vast.

The Vikings is a new-school gang, with particular skill sets that suit the gang life of Los Santos. Their lifestyle is defined by trapping and cooking coke, LSD and ecstasy whilst moving these products. This would come to make up their main source of income. Furthermore, they are all familiar with the face of war and possess the heartless ability to kill in cold blood if need be.

The four founders of the Vikings share a love for firearms, fast bikes and supercars. The Vikings strive to put their name on the map and become an established faction in the city of Los Santos by furthering their business endeavors with legal operations at the forefront of the club. Behind the scenes the upcoming crime-syndicate is solely driven by the addiction of riches and power from running a drug empire that exports innumerable amounts of dope across the oceans. 

 

Current situation:

The Viking's current situation is that the four founders of the gang are attempting to establish themselves as owners of an official clubhouse to kickstart a criminal career and future business ventures. The operation is currently located in a luxurious apartment at Tinsel Towers, but plans have been set in motion to expand the business with properties in Sandy Shores. 

Also, there is word on the street that some illegal races have been taking place around the city. A few of the founders have been organizing the routes with the most competitive racing lines soon to be announced in the underground scene of street racing. The Vikings have gathered a lot of attention from the city of Los Santos to the bay of Paleto and many have shown interest in the activities of the Vikings. In that regard, we have recruited a few prospects, but we are still looking to expand their numbers and recruit core members to partake in the brotherhood of a true Viking community. 

The leaders of the gang are also discussing the possibilities of colors which should represent the name of the Vikings. They came to an agreement that the colors of the gang should be of the danish flag, red and white. 

 

Future plans:

1 month - Gain respect from other established gangs, syndicates and MC's 

2 months - Recruit core members 

3 months - Buy a clubhouse/warehouse/property in Sandy Shores

4 months - Organize illegal street races with fixed winning prices

5 months - Become sustainable from jobs and employee pay 

6 months - Buy more businesses and properties in the cities of Los Santos and Paleto Bay

 

Gang Rules:

• We are looking to recruit players who are active in-game, on discord and on forums.

• All applications to the factions must happen through IC interactions and cannot be done so OOCly

• In order to progress in the ranks above prospect, the player is required to have more than 25000 EXP in-game

• New Players are not eligible to join the syndicate but they can be supporters

• You must maintain a high standard of role-playing at all times

• We expect all members to be respectful to each other and other people or factions OOC

• OOC text chat is reserved for questions about commands etc, must be kept to a minimum

• All core members of the faction are required to be equipped with a microphone 

 

Club Ranking:
The Vikings rule by a democratized infrastructure in which the four founders get an equal vote to decide the outcome of the decision making. In case of a stalemate or a tie in votes, the president will have the final and decisive say in that matter. This also applies if an immediate decision has to be made or if the majority of the founders are unavailable. Newcomers must be addressed to a founder or a captain to apply for recruitment. 

 

(Made man):

To become “made”, an associate must be of scandinavian descent and sponsored by another made man. A made man must swear his loyalty to the gang and he must follow a code of conduct which includes the code of honor. Being a made man comes with a lot of benefits and obligations since they enjoy the full protection and backing of the syndicate establishment. 

 

President:

The presidential rank is reserved for a founder or an entrusted member who is appointed by one of the founders. The president must be present at all meetings that concern the safety and security of the syndicate and he insists on hearing bad news immediately. In case the president is unavailable, the vice president will take over the leadership and rule on behalf of the street gang. The president must ensure the health and safety of the members by making decisions that benefit the gang as a unity. Both the president and the vice president are expected to uphold a high level of integrity, honor and righteousness. Furthermore, they should always seek to align the general attitude and morals of all the members with those of the gang. 

 

Vice president:

The vice president is expected to uphold the same standards as the president. The vice president is appointed the duty of caretaking the business by inspecting and ensuring the work conditions of the recruits. The vice president must inform the president of any matters that concern the safety of the operations that he is involved with.

 

General:

The general is the direct link to the president and vice president. It is his duty to secure that the captain has every needed resource to maintain the occupation of his employed subordinates. Furthermore, the general is acquired to secure information, act upon it and if need be distribute it to his superiors. He stands accountable for all of his gang-related actions while sitting at the table with the president, the vice president and other participants of the decision making in the inner circle. Generals are expected to take part of the operations by contributing with business propositions. The general is also required to reflect the attitude and morals presented from his superiors. 

 

Captain:

The captain is entrusted with the power to establish his own unit of prospects, privates and sergeants. He may employ recruits and assign them to different jobs that are verified by the founders. The captain is in charge of paying his subordinates and his superiors for the jobs that they complete. Furthermore, the captain is in charge of administering the sergeant. The captain must always represent the Viking colors when organizing and executing gang related activities. 

 

Sergant:
The sergeant  is considered for core members who have proven themselves in a sufficient manner by acting on behalf of the Vikings. The sergeant is equipped with a wide range of skills and privileges that comes with the expectations of a core member. That includes access to military weaponry and the responsibility of the discipline, safety and well-being among his own subordinates.

 

Private:

The private rank signifies the initiation of a member in the Vikings. A private must prove themselves sufficiently within the gang. He may also accept to join a unit of a sergeant or a captain and participate in the storyline of the syndicate. They may also roll deep with the Vikings when territorial power struggles with other syndicates, street gangs or MC’s occur. 
 

Prospect:

The prospects are at the bottom of the food chain in the hierarchy of the Vikings. They have yet to prove themselves by performing tasks that benefit the well-being of the faction. The prospects are required to obey orders and get accustomed to the ways of the Vikings. A prospect must always follow the appropriate Viking dress code to signify their novice rank. 

 

Club Vehicles:
The members of the Vikings pull up in their street racing cars and sanchez’ representing the red and white colors of the gang. The founders always make an effort to maintain the integrity and the reputation of the faction and uphold it to a very high standard. High fashion and fresh wheels are the ways of the Vikings, if you can catch my drift. The Vikings have plans to organize and participate in illegal street races which means that they drive in class A cars and supercars as well. 

The story of the Vikings

Introduction to Toby:

The story of Toby Iommi begins in Denmark. He was raised by his father since his mother died when he was 11. This caused him great heartache and trouble in his teenage years because his father didn’t manage to deal properly with the loss and found himself stuck at the bottom of a bottle. Toby then mostly spent his youth in his room, playing the guitar and singing. He dropped out of college after beating a kid half to death at a school party, then he started doing drugs since he didn’t know of any other ways to deal with his pain.

Through his addiction he came to know a lot of dodgy personalities, one of which took him in as his own son. This bond would soon show itself to be the poison that led him straight into gang affiliation. As an attempt to turn his life around, he was assigned to the military where he made a big name for himself. Although, when the sergeant training was done and he stood tall with pride and courage, he managed to quit both the reefer and the coke, but it didn’t come with the paydays that he was used to dealing with dope money. He gave up the dream of becoming an honored soldier, used his wit and his newly acquired skills with leadership to climb the hierarchy of a gang called Hell’s Angels.
 

His relationship with the president of the gang became evermore solid, so one day he got assigned to make a shipment through the entire length of Denmark with 20 tons of cocaine, together with Freddy. When they arrived at the dropoff, a rival gang pulled up in 10 cars, forced them out of the truck, beat them both half to death and went off with the loot and all of their possessions.

Toby and Freddy had a decision to make, should they turn home and tell their superiors that they had failed to protect themselves, or should they use their last ressources to head off to try to make a new beginning? After a few days and some medical help from an old nurse friend of Toby, who helped them get back on their feet and gather strength. The nurse couldn’t house them anymore. “Too much risk, I have a family,” she said. Desperate to find a place to lay low, Toby called their closest friends in the MC who just so happened to be Olly and Luca. Despite the danger of helping members, who are forced out in bad standing with the gang, they helped them without hesitating. Too scared to come clean with the MC, Toby and Freddy talked over the situation with Ollie and Luca and presented them with the idea of their own crime-syndicate in the states. They tried to reason with them and presented the consequences, but Toby had no change of heart and Freddy had nothing left besides the brotherhood. Ollie and Luca always dreamt about getting away from home, and when Toby reminded them of this fact, Ollie and Luca knew they couldn’t refuse to go with them.

They all bought a ticket to the first flight to America and the specific location happened to be in Los Santos.  And the four of them decided to stick together as Vikings in a foreign country. The brothers always dreamt big, but their skill sets would come to grow even bigger. 

Toby, although possessing a great cocktail of leadership qualities himself, proudly pointed towards Ollie as the most competent President of the gang hence his stoic personality traits and his level of ambition. 

 

Introduction to Luca:

Luca Snoller - A danish lad looking for more
Luca Snoller’s story starts in Denmark.
He grew up in a humble home to loving parents with everything good that comes with it. He was the oldest of two brothers between him and Olly. His parents were resistant towards technology due to them having Luca at an old age and this has instilled in Luca the spirit of a rebel, which he would soon come to know.

He was often outside because Luca did not own a gameboy or even a cellphone, let alone a computer. Being outside came with many great perks but crucial to his destiny was the people he ended up being surrounded by. Other more old rebels. Luca has, since he was a young boy, always been around kids older than him. This is how he got into the criminal world. A secret world hidden within the mundane everyday of his city.

His criminal journey in Hell’s Angels started out by marking the end of his life as he knew it. He and his brother were initially loyal and exceedingly respectful of their elders as they had always been the youngest pair in any of their friendzones. Luca and his brother were ready to carry out the dirty work. Every single day. And finally would an opportunity appear.
 

Introduction to Olly Snoller:

Olly's story begins in Denmark where he grew up with his older brother Luca Snoller. They had a strong relationship and a good connection to both of their parents. Nothing about these kids seemed out of the ordinary and no one could have predicted the future ahead of them. Olly and his brother Luca were sick and tired of the trivial and simplistic life of mediocrity. They dreamt about driving fast cars and were always cheering on the local street races taking place in their hometown. One day they came to meet a couple kids who had clearly been around the block. They offered a job opportunity that required the brothers to perform a simple task of transporting a bag of 28k in dirty cash. Olly and Luca had never delved into any sort of criminal activities in the past, so they had to make up their mind. Would they keep living the clean life of decency with expectations from family and childhood friends? Or would they leave the hood and everyone behind? 

This question was soon to be answered as this task was only the very beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the Snoller brothers. Soon enough they would get established as core members of a respected MC by the name of Hell's Angels. From this point on there was no turning back – no going back to mama and papa's place on sundays. For they would not dare to look their parents in the eyes knowingly of the things that they had done. A true brotherhood was born between the four members of the MC and the feeling of unity and cohesion was something the brothers would never forget. That's how they came about meeting their business associates and lifelong friends Toby and Fred. The boys always liked to goof around and do dumb shit, but atleast they knew how to handle themselves when all hell broke loose.

Let's just say that shit went south real quick which meant that actions had to be taken – and so they did just that. They took matters into their own hands and did what had to be done. Although the truth is not always beautiful, it makes for a good story. Toby always liked to brag about the series of events that went down back in those days – Olly on the other hand always looked over his shoulder anticipating the return of HA riders. Maybe that's the reason they decided to put him in charge of the Vikings and the operations that they became involved with. The activities of organizing illegal street races, running a drug lab, robbing stores or planning a bank heist were all considered as stepping stones for Olly to gain the respect of his peers and prospects in the booming city of Los Santos. Olly just had the nerve and that aspiring ambition of achieving something that is far greater than himself or any one member.

 

Introduction to Freddy:

Freddy’s, or his real name Malmfred, story begins in Denmark. Freddy’s only family member that he has ever known was his father. Well, to say that he knew him is kind of an exaggeration since his father was never home to take care of Freddy. Instead he was out doing business with the MC club Bandidos. Freddy had to learn the hard way to take care of himself, which was not always easy with the constant threats and beatings from his father. Freddy never met his mother since she had died from giving birth to him. His father only told him about her once, but Freddy was too young to remember anything his father told him. Except for the fact that she was a very pretty and strong woman.

In hindsight Freddy had a really tough childhood, but then the day came when he turned 16. This day stands forever as Freddy’s most impactful memory. It would affect the rest of his life. This was the day his father introduced him to the MC gang Bandidos. He was now eligible to join the club. The fact Freddy never had any other relations outside the gang made this a big day for him. He was now a part of something bigger than himself. He could contribute, make money and eventually make his father proud. The years went by and Freddy made a name for himself. He was the number one gunner and moved more product than any other prospect. The club recognised his potential and planned to move him up in ranks on the day he turned 19. Freddy on the other hand, had other plans. He knew that his dad relied on Freddy’s achievements and that he also got credits for recruiting Freddy and what he brought to the drug tables. On the day of Freddy’s promotion, he didn’t show up. Instead he emptied a jerry-can on his father's motorcycle and blew it to pieces as an action of revenge for the many beatings and neglect. Beforehand, he had  arranged his recruitment with a bigger and rivaling MC club by the name of Hell’s Angels. This was not taken lightly, now Freddy was in bad standing with The Bandidos, but he could not be touched, since they would not dare to mess with HA or any of their members. The only one to take the fall was his father, Freddy knew his father would account for his actions and that was the main reason why he did it. Now, his father could get to feel the humiliation of being an outcast and not belonging anywhere. And of course, his father would end up getting beaten half to death. Now, the real story of Freddy would soon begin. In the HA he met the brothers Olly and Luca and their friend Toby. The four of them grew an unbreakable bond and together they formed a brotherhood inside of the HA. The years went by and the money was flooding, but one day changed it all. Toby and Freddy messed up a delivery through Denmark. A big assignment for Toby where he could prove his worth. Now they had to figure out a solution, they thought to themselves that either they could come clean with the president or they could flee and start a new life, in a new place. But first they had to talk with Olly and Luca.

Freddy was on the bad side of Bandidos and was sick of always being scared for his life whenever a bike rides by. The four danes made the decision to start their own crime-syndicate in Los Santos long away from home, their new enemy HA and Freddy’s enemies in the Bandidos.

Started from the bottom

The founders of the Vikings got off to a slow start trying to get settled in the city. Doing menial work quickly showed them what they came to the city for. And this wasn’t it.
    They had spent countless hours on any job they could get their hands on. Day in and day out. But at what gain? They tried expanding into transporting goods. A small company driven by a tight core. They could see the potential, but not like this. A common dream slowly crept in. No one dared to mention it, but they all felt it. They had what it would take to make something of themselves. To actually follow through on the dreams and opportunities that pulled them to Los Santos. But taking the first step was still daunting and overwhelming.

 

They would drive around coming up with new ideas. Looking for properties and opportunities. Going back and forth with business proposals. When a ghost-driver in a bus almost ended it all before it had begun. This wake-up-call, again, instilled the motivation for making something out of countless ideas. It had to become tangible. Waking up tomorrow isn’t promised, and life can end before it begins. They knew they had to escalate their living conditions and their goals.

An ordinary day:

Toby wakes up, jumps out of bed and does his daily routines. First a stretch out and glass of water

As he sits down on the chair and pours a glass of water a lot of things comes into mind. Toby always uses early hours for introspection and this morning he thinks of the days not long ago, where the four Vikings came to the city. They didn’t have much money to their names in the beginning so they had to find some work. Toby then thinks about the countless hours he spent as a lumberjack which made him just enough money to buy the pent-house that he now owns. He then reflects upon all the events that have led him to be the Vice-president of the Viking syndicate, making connections to purchase illegal firearms, retrieving information about drug-making and so on. 

 

Toby then puts on his clothes, red and white as the Danish flag, checks his phone as he walks up the stairs, nobody has called.

Toby is then greeted by his dear friend and ally, Olly.
Olly gives a report of the lab, so that Olly could hand over the Chef’s hat to toby. But just as he was about to take over the operation, Toby’s phone rang. 

 

It was one of Toby’s connections who called to say that he had the three guns ready that Toby asked for Last week. After an exchange of the specifics of the deal Toby then hurried out the door and down to the garage. He drove to the bank to meet up with his contact, Toby went into the bank, withdrew the money and jumped in the car of the contact. They drove around the block, made the exchange without any problems. Toby thanked him and said “till next time bro” which was answered with a heartwarming “i got you bro, take care out there”.

Toby, now in the possession of multiple firearms, drove back to store them at the apartment, where Olly was still fully occupied with the labwork. Olly congratulated Toby with the successful purchase and then handed over the responsibility of running the lab for the rest of the day. 

After a successful day buying guns and running the lab, Toby then, satisfied with the events of the day, poured himself a glass of Whiskey. While sipping, Toby thought about all the dreams he has for the humble assembly of Vikings, future successful bank heists, expansions of the drug business, fast cars and women. All dreams of which Toby holds dear to his ambitious heart. Toby took off his clothes and laid down in his bed with a satisfied grin on his face, thinking of what the future soon would bring in store for the Vikings.

Drug lab fuckup, naked man on bike:

Olly and Toby were managing their newly acquired lab. Olly had just handed over the suit so that Toby could continue the work. That was when Toby accidentally turned off the ventilator. Olly suddenly fainted, and was out of consciousness. Toby then had a problem, because he was not able to turn on the ventilator hence Olly had locked the ventilator ‘turn on function’ with a password. Olly being out of consciousness of course couldn’t tell him the password, so Toby had to move him outside so that he could get medical attention.

Toby then without thinking took off his clothes including the mask which was the only thing that was keeping him safe from the toxic fumes. Toby almost choughed his lungs out while dragging his friend out of the apartment.

Toby in shock and clearly light headed by the fumes of the lab, called a medic stumbling over his words he told the medic the right place to go. Toby waited alongside with Olly for the medic to arrive, when he suddenly realised that he had no clothes on and he had a gun on his hip. Toby ran all that he could and watched around the corner of a building as the medic pulled up and attended to Olly. When The medic drove off with Olly inside the Ambulance Toby thought to himself “ Fuck, I still can’t turn on the ventilator”. Toby, still under the influence of the toxins, in his underwear and with a gun to the hip, still had to follow the ambulance to get Olly back. Toby sprinted to the garage to take his sanchez.

He followed the ambulance, drove into an alleyway to hide, and waited to get a call from Olly. 

Olly finally called and when he saw him he laughed and said “What the hell are you doing riding in your underwear and with a gun!?” Toby replied “Bro, there was no way I was going to go drive through the city dressed in a hazmat suit!” Olly nodded understandingly and said “ Yeah, that might have been even worse, but let’s get back and save the lab, bro!” And so they did. Olly to this day still teases Toby with the fact of him driving through the city high on fumes in his underwear and with a gun strapped to his hip.

Running a drug lab  

 

The road to glory turned out to be a bumpy ride - fuckups were made along the way. To be honest, this was to be expected since the Vikings didn’t have any expertise in the drug industry of this city. This is not your regular 9-5 job and sometimes things don't go according to the plan.

 

One day the president of the Vikings, Olly Snoller, was getting ready to sell the very first batch of products. He was enjoying the view in an apartment at Tinsel Towers reflecting on the position that his gang had achieved. They were finally established and running a drug lab on their own. That’s when shit went south and everything that they had worked for was now lost. The Vikings learned a valuable lesson that day to educate a dedicated cook to learn the ins and outs of processing drugs in a small lab.

Business meeting
Word on the street is that the Vikings have become a familiar faction and they have made a name for themselves by recruiting prospects and establishing connections throughout the city of Los Santos. The gang dressed up for the occasion representing the red and white colors of the Vikings at a business meeting located at the Paleto Bank. 

The fresh recruits were assigned with their initial task which involved harvesting weed plants, protecting themselves and, of course, a great amount of luck and courage.

At the meeting the prospects Eric, Jonathan and Jeremy hand over the briefcases filled to the brim with marihuana plants. Then, they receive the payment that they earned along with the respect that they gained among the Vikings.
 

Eric: “I will put this money towards a Sanchéz – I want to represent the Viking colors when I'm on the job!”

Luca: ”That's the spirit! Consider it an investment for future endeavors. There's a lot of money to be made out there.”

 

Olly: “This is only the very beginning - the Vikings are going to plunder the city for everything by any means.”

Toby: “We got to go now, we got places to be. Stay safe out there, brothers.”

 

The president and the vice-president arrive back at their apartment and discuss the future plans of the Vikings. The prospects are thriving and the business is booming which means that investments have to be made.
