The National Vanguard, sometimes called 'The Cause' or the 'Aryan Nation' is a highly organized coalition of white supremacist criminal organizations in the United States. The organization comes from the historic albeit mainly symbolic 'unification' of the original Aryan Brotherhood and the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas into the United Aryan Brotherhood in May 2018. The nature of the compromise lead to a shift within Peckerwood culture which has resulted in a enthused push towards unified enterprise among a wide variety of skinhead gangs throughout the Southwestern United States which inspired the inclusion of the traditionally antagonistic Aryan Circle. This mutually agreed cooperation was further set in stone with the loyalty pledge of the Oregon-based criminal organization called the European Kindred which allowed the adherent gangs of the Vanguard to more easily push their ideals to the street through this exhibition of momentum. With a vast majority of regional leaders adhering to the concept a significant portion of street gangs similarly followed suit; predictably the first gangs to pledge loyalty were the Nazi Lowriders and Public Enemy Number 1 who were eventually followed by a myriad of others thus granting the alliance a street presence in several states.

 

The group claims to be a nationwide criminal syndicate but in reality it's presence is limited to the southwestern states from Oregon to Texas with it's main hub of influence and source of manpower being San Andreas. The organization upholds the traditional alliance it has with the Mexican Mafia and by extension a numerous array of Sureno gangs which has offered it established contacts and even potential allies in the criminal world. As of October 2018 the Vanguard has engaged in a major surge in it's Los Santos-based activities pushing it even greater into the realm of public scrutiny with a controversial Weazel News editorial labeling the group as "one of the nations greatest threats to national security" even going so far as to demand it be labeled a homegrown terrorist organization. In reality, however, the groups primary motivation remains the acquisition of wealth through illicit means with much of it's political connections seemingly left by the wayside.

Organization & Operations

 

The group's structure is highly militaristic with a dedicated hierarchy of groups that form the foundation of it's daily operations. The nucleus of the group stems from the Aryan Brotherhood as well as it's cohorts which act as the primary executive force of the coalition that enforces discipline, settles disputes and organizes a vast majority of it's criminal enterprises. Within the Vanguard the old-school prison gangs have established themselves as it's nobility and it's within the highest aspirations of much of it's client gangs to prove themselves and thus be inducted into 'The Brand.' Cracking down on the faction's leadership has proven to be an immense struggle for law enforcement as it's members are capable of relaying messages to and from the street with relative ease with the assistance of coded messages as well as cellphones smuggled into prison. As a result, the group remains coordinated and capable of extensive operations from both sides of the correctional system.

 

Below the 'executive branch' of the group are it's 'commissioned' groups who're, in essence, gangs that are officially sanctioned by the leadership and are deemed the most reliable to conduct criminal operations with it's leaders acting as lieutenants for shotcallers. These groups are mainly those who have established long-lasting ties and maintain a degree of power on the streets and are therefore utilized primarily for enforcement as well as command & control of lesser gangs. It's not uncommon for these groups to prove themselves as enthusiastically violent and a vast majority of it's membership is made up of ex-cons who are nonetheless capable of being relied upon to conduct sensitive tasks. Outside of their internal duties commissioned members are also expected to help enrich the Vanguard through drug trafficking, homicide, theft, extortion and overall intimidation.

Due to it's widely disparate membership the group has vastly diverse investments in numerous illicit businesses with a rapidly fluctuating profit margin.

 

At the bottom of the totem pole lies the associates of the group made up of misguided teenagers, latchkey kids and other up-and-coming criminals looking for guidance, protection and some money in the pocket. Associate gangs are numerous and can be made up of anywhere from five to fifty members in number and hold territory no bigger than a skate park or a single street - a place many of them operate from as is. These groups often act in support of the higher echelon under more experienced criminals and are very rarely trusted to handle anything of importance on their own, this often leads them to being utilized as anything from lookouts to foot soldiers to even glorified chauffeurs. The ideal final destination for most associates is either their personal recruitment into a commissioned gang or the overall elevation of their own gang to receive a commissioned charter and therefore join the ranks of more seasoned factions such as NLR, PEN1 and even the Aryan Crusaders.

 

The National Vanguard does not intend to hold territory, instead opting to delegate and operate out of specified areas rather than claiming ownership of them outright. Shotcallers are organized into committees that determine regional or city-wide operations whilst commissioned members are designated areas of control. Associate gangs within these zones often fall under the tutelage of these commissioned gangs whether they intend to or not and those that try and push their independence often have a lengthy and possibly deadly struggle ahead of them. Within these areas the designated crews will attempt to do business with other factions, sell drugs, tax independents and of course recruit more members and work to acquire higher levels of weaponry. If war happens to break out in an area that spills out of control the group in charge of the area is expected to fight on the front-lines and utilize associates whenever it's seen as necessary, they are not limited in the struggle, however, and can reach out to other allied gangs for assistance.

Culture

 

Aspects of life in the Vanguard stems from three crucial pillars that all members are expected to adhere to; respect, loyalty and strength. Conveniently for most of it's members, these rules are the way of life in prison and naturally it's a lifestyle they expect to emulate on the streets. Members are impressed upon to have the utmost respect for their superiors and more experienced members with punishments varying from beatings to even death depending on the level of severity. Members are also expected to always show heart even in the most dire of circumstances, outward perceptions of strength are extremely crucial to the group as it absolutely resents any aspects of weakness. Snitching in any regard even if it's unintended results in death no matter how highly placed the member and members are always 'checking up' on others to truly judge and compare their criminal aptitudes.

Members of the Aryan Brotherhood are the most influential and powerful members within the alliance and their prison-based culture is rife within it's membership.

 

Outside of it's prison-inspired code of ethics the Vanguard very much maintains it's Peckerwood heritage which itself is an amalgamation of the punk rock scene combined with elements of stoner culture as well as Latino gang style. Politically the group is of course skinhead in nature with varying degrees of enthusiasm for it's hateful rhetoric, some view it pragmatically whilst others dive into it wholesale but regardless the group employs a wide range of white power symbolism with a strong emphasis on tattoos to exhibit association. Religiously the group maintains a standard array of faiths albeit with a strong undercurrent of Neo-pagan undertones that permeates a large core of it's membership who often sincerely venerate Viking faith and value systems frequently tattooing themselves with Pagan symbolism or baring items of similar value.

 

Due to it's wide array of member groups dispersed throughout a comparatively large region within the United States, cultural standards vary greatly between it's constituents with many different groups practicing different cultural practices or internal operation which becomes more standardized the higher one climbs in the organization.

OOC & RECRUITMENT

 

This group seeks to portray a fictional rendition of real-life white gang culture & organization and naturally will conduct itself as such in-game. The leadership of this faction reserves CK rights on any and all members of the organization for serious infractions. Members are expected to conduct themselves appropriately and avoid breaking community rules throughout the course of their time within the group and on the server in general. Those seeking to join are advised to either PM me here on the forums or on Discord(Thimble#3548) or through simply role-playing with us in-game, be advised that those intending to join via messaging me will be expected to speak on their characters backstory to ensure it's within the groups expectations.

 

Know that is faction is highly antagonistic and conflict is an inevitability, you may very likely be putting your character at risk by associating with or joining a gang that remains part of the National Vanguard which has the definitive possibility to end in a CK if you aren't careful.

 

For gangs portraying themselves as a sect of the Sureno lifestyle we openly accept cooperation and established storylines to help the mutual narrative we both share in the criminal element of the server. Other white gangs or even MC's are also sought out for engagement by us to help aid mutual development whether you believe in our rhetoric and want to sign onto the charter or even if you seek to resist us, we wish to expand the horizons of this server and bring about engaging roleplay regardless of association so long as a standard level of competence as well as respect is maintained.
