San Andreas: State of Sin (GTA RP; OOC; OPEN)

Main Theme

IC

Applications for criminal syndicates are closed. You can form gangs and such, but we already have enough syndicates. You can still join a syndicate, but you'll need to ask permission from the RPer who formed it.

Welcome to the state of San Andreas. Like Liberty City and Vice City, the cities of San Andreas are abundant with both the rich and famous, as well as the poor and unknown of the US. From the casinos of Las Venturas to the slums of Los Santos, crime is seen everywhere, whether it be casino heists or petty drug deals. The year is 2009, and it's been a few months since a little-known Serbian man somehow upset the criminal underworld of Liberty City by killing the Don of the Pegorino Family and multiple other members of the organized crime world. Along with the death of Don Gravelli, a power vacuum has been set off in Liberty City, turning it into a battleground. Despite the apparent opportunities for many organizations and gangs, Mayor Ochoa, the LCPD, and NOoSE have launched a massive campaign to end the violence, with increasing success. As a result, many criminals are fleeing to San Andreas, which is much calmer than Liberty City at the present moment. War is on the horizon, as the gangs and criminal organizations are seeking new turf in San Andreas, forcing the older gang to go to war to protect their turf.

This brings us to you. Whether you are a gang member, cop, or just an Average Joe, you will soon be caught up in this new conflict. You might be flying in from Liberty City or Vice City, looking for opportunity, or you could have been here the entire time. Here in San Andreas, you can make anything happen, whether it be bringing home your paycheck or bringing in fame and fortune for your organization. Whatever it might be for you, prepare for a rather violent ride into hell.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to provide them!

Map

1. I am the OP. What I say goes.
2. My Co-OPs are basically an extension of myself. What they say also goes, but they cannot trump me.
3. Yes, this might be based off of Grand Theft Auto, but you will not start out with any heavy weaponry. If you own a gun shop, you won't be selling high-end military weaponry or automatic weaponry without my approval.
4. Money is required for just about anything. Don't expect to have around $1 million as some street hood though.
5. If you use any sort of drug, whether it be alcohol or harder drugs, you must RP the effects of the drugs. I don't want someone doing a fat, foot-long line of cocaine and not over-dosing or not being affected.
6. If you're a criminal, expect the police to be on your tail if you aren't careful. You can go to jail in this RP, and I will make sure that you RP out your sentence.
7. If you insist on carrying out sexual relations with another character, don't RP it here, for the sake of other players.
8. I don't want drug dealers to be sitting on massive caches of drugs. You have a finite supply, and you must keep track of it, as well as restock it.
9. If you think that you can take on the entire Los Santos Police Department, or any other law enforcement agency in this RP, you have another thing coming.
10. This RP takes place across the expanse of San Andreas, which may cause players to be isolated from each other. I'll do my best to start up events that will bring players together, but do your best to create your own events, within reason.
11. Even if you don't control a racket, you can still delve into it, but you might be butting into another organization's territory, and it will be up to them to make the call of whether or not to shut your operation down.

For example, let's say that Anaducci controls Arms Smuggling, and they have a guy in FN Herstal who is selling them the merchandise, but then the Balas start smuggling in Chinese-made AK-47 copies, and they are cutting into the profits of Anaducci. If Anaducci finds out, they can go in and attempt to take over the Balas' operation.
12. Each gang/criminal organization can have up to two rackets when they start out.
13. You may start out with 3 businesses at the most when you start out. Do not abuse this by owning 3 multi-million-dollar industries.
14. It is absolutely permissible for your organization to have no rackets starting out. You have to start somewhere, you know?
15. If you make a lot of noise, expect the law to come after you.
16. No one-liners, no awful grammar, no metagaming.
17. Unless I give your approval, you cannot control the law or NPCs that you haven't created.

Yes, it's based off of the Grand Theft Auto series.

No, you don't need prior knowledge on the series to join up.

Let's kick some ass.

Actually, Tesseria, can you knock your rackets down to 2, right now? You can pick up more as the RP goes on.

Arms and Drugs smuggling, the rest I'll get later.

Hmmm, I know a good number of rackets, but would anyone like to help me out by compiling a list of all the possible criminal rackets that they can think of?

Thank you. I've started assembling a list, but I'd like more possible ideas. I'll go through them and see if they're applicable.

Now, even if you don't control a racket, you can still delve into it, but you might be butting into another organization's territory, and it will be up to them to make the call of whether or not to shut your operation down.

Character
Name:Inara Gemeyal
Age: 30
Gender: Female
Appearance:[spoiler=Inara](Image)

Skills: small firearms, knives, mostly skilled in 'entertainment'.
Nationality: American
Birthplace: Liberty City
Occupation: Madam/Owner of Club Noir
Military Background: None
Education: High School Grad
Residence: Downtown
Short Biography: Born to a wealthy (and not by honest means) family, Inara's parents had tried to shelter her from the plots, violence, and blood that was associated to their family name. Despite their best efforts, she was pulled in like the rest of her siblings and Inara was forced to fight, scheme, and manipulate others in order to keep her family safe. When her family died from a violent gang-family war, Inara fled the city and used what resources she had left to open a business for herself. Possessing a beauty that only a few could personally admire, she has amassed a certain air of mystery, to be someone of note, and infamy. Two years ago, she established Club Noir and with the help of two other individuals, it has since become a brothel, a strip club, and something of an information network (though this part is mostly used for Inara's and Club Noir's benefit.). Confident in her abilities and that of her two partners, she is seeking to venture out, to see how much influence she can have.[/spoiler]

Business App:
Name: Club Noir
Year Opened: 2007
Number of Years Active: 2
Number of Employees: 12 'active' personnel, 30 of in various employ (hostesses, bouncers, etc).
Boss: Inara Gemeyal
Type of Business: Strip Club, Brothel, underground info network.
Location(s): Downtown
History: Club Noir is a bar, a high end strip joint, a gentlemen's club, and a brothel (though this part is seamlessly hidden from or ignored by the Police - though it is unclear which is true for now). All an female run company, headed by Madam Gemeyal and her two partners, Club Noir has appealed to anyone that can afford it's prices and enjoy the lavish comforts it has to offer. Gemeyal goes through a lengthy process to hire anyone and will not entrust anyone but her partners to take care of sensitive matters. To be employed at Club Noir, a rigorous background check must be passed, to ascertain one's true loyalties and affiliation.

Approved. Would you like to put your club in Downtown Los Santos (Los Angeles), San Fierro (San Francisco), or Las Venturas (Las Vegas)? Also, it you're in Los Santos, Forsythe might go looking for a job as a bouncer.

Short Biography: Born to a Vor of a Russian Mafiya in Soviet Ukraine, Antonin's father was often in and out of prison, although he himself did manage to get through school and even obtain a university degree in Russia. Then, the Soviet Union collapsed. And with that, the Russian Mafiya began to expand its operations abroad, with Antonin's father becoming the Pakhan of a notorious outfit in the Imperial Realm of Romberg. And hence, Antonin was naturalized as a Rombergian citizen and had to serve his mandatory military service. An Armenian hit squad took out his father in a well-publicized drive-by shooting several years later, which sparked off massive crackdowns on criminal and organized crime activity by law enforcement in Romberg. Yet at the same time, through a series of well-placed assassinations and business maneuvers, Antonin successfully rose to the top during the internal power struggle of the Mafiya and emerged as the next Pakhan. But Romberg was not safe anymore, and with a bounty on his head, Antonin thus decided to move the operations of his Mafiya gang into Los Santos, San Andreas.

The RP takes place in the GTA universe, and Romberg isn't a valid nation. Just change that around, and I'll approve you. Also, you're allowed 2 rackets when you start out. I forgot to put it in the rules right away, but I mentioned it earlier.
