Short intro to the story: Many moons ago, in a vast and untamed land, lived a young Native American named Wemutu Imala. He grew up in the heart of his tribe, surrounded by the rich culture and traditions of his people. From an early age, he learned to respect nature and cherish the bonds of his community. Yet, Wemulu's heart yearned for adventure and exploration. He gazed at the horizon and dreamed of the vast world beyond his tribe's borders. One day, his father, a wise elder of the tribe, saw the restlessness in his eyes and knew it was time to depart. Wemulu's family, consisting of his parents and younger siblings, was known as the "Wind Nomads." Together, they decided to leave the safety of the tribe in search of new horizons and, perhaps, the fortune that awaited them beyond familiar lands. The path of the Wind Nomads was long and arduous. They traversed vast deserts, crossed rushing rivers, and faced sandstorms that seemed to test their resolve. In each challenge, Kai and his family found an inner strength they never knew they possessed. Finally, one day, as they beheld the grand state of San Andreas, they felt a mixture of fascination and trepidation. The towering structures and the bustle of the streets, bast woods were an entirely new world to them. Yet, Wemulu knew that this was the opportunity they had been waiting for. As time went by, Imala's family found their place in this new land. They adapted, learned new trades, and gradually built a "new" wooden caraban in County of San Andreas. Wemulu, the young brave who dared to dream beyond the borders of his tribe, found not only fortune but also a new definition of home. His heart remained connected to the traditions of his youth, but now he also carried with him the courage to explore the world and gratitude for having found a new home for his family. Thus, the journey of the Wind Nomads continued, marking each step with the story of a young brave who followed his heart in pursuit of a broader destiny. Basic Information about Wenutu Imala.

The Pizza Bar is a classic dine-in restaurant located in the heart of small-town Paleto Bay. Specializing in pizzas, hoagies and other classic American fare, the Pizza Bar is truly one of the last old-school experiences in upstate San Andreas. EXTERIOR OF THE PIZZA BAR, c. 1983 OUR HISTORY The building currently inhabited by the Pizza Bar was constructed c. 1918 by entrepreneur James Allison, son of Andrew L. Allison (d. 1901), a decorated Confederate general from the state of Mississippi. In the early 1900s, much of Paleto Bay's economy was centered around the gold mining industry. James' building soon inhabited Allison's General Store, which served the citizens of Paleto Bay with provisions, horse tack and other basic supplies for nearly half a century. In 1961, the building came under the ownership of the Leigh Family, a prominent legal family active in the Flint County Circuit Court. The Leighs, who themselves were cousins to the Allisons, sold the building and the general store was transformed into Leigh's Pool Hall, a pub-style establishment. The roots of the Pizza Bar were planted in the early 1970s, when the pool hall began to offer pizzas and other snacks to the after-school crowd. The business was such a success that the pool hall was later rebranded to the Pizza Bar in 1972. Throughout the 1970s, the Pizza Bar gathered a local following and had the reputation for being a hot-spot for dining in rural Blaine County. In December 1980, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as the "Allison Building", and officially became a part of Paleto Bay's history. Into the modern era, the Pizza Bar has continued to prosper as a popular hangout spot for hungry workers and after-school students of Paleto Bay High School. Though under new ownership of a firm from Los Santos, the roots and heritage of the company have been preserved... and the classic eating experience Blaine County has come to love is still there in the heart of Paleto Bay.

THE PIZZA BAR | Est. 1972 HISTORY: The Pizza Bar is a Paleto Bay sandwich/pizza shop, renowned state-wide across northwest San Andreas for their "Hot Ham n' Cheese" sandwich and hand-rolled pizzas. It features a classic, simple menu consisting of authentic Sicilian and Italian dishes, as well as traditional American fare. Originally founded as a pool hall in the 1960s by Neapolitan immigrant Carlo Furillo, it was purchased in 1972 by Blaine County Circuit clerk James Leigh and his wife Lucille. Turning it into a sandwich shop, the Pizza Bar became a staple of Blaine County, catering primarily to Paleto High's afterschool crowd. Following Lucille's death in 2014, the restaurant began to sink into decline. In December 2022, the Pizza Bar filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and all assets were sold to Los Santos entrepreneur Vincent J. Torelli in March 2023. Under the Torelli family's ownership, the interior was repaired and the menu was revitalized, consisting primarily of traditional American fare and authentic Italian and Sicilian recipes from Vincent's grandmother, who originally hailed from Agrigento, Western Sicily.

Vincent Torelli From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Vincent Torelli (born November 19, 1987) is an American reputed mobster, and an associate of the Alderney-based Torelli crime family, currently active in southern San Andreas. Vincent's father James Torelli, Jr. is the reputed boss of the Torelli crime family in Alderney City. Allegedly, Vincent worked closely with the Los Santos-based Martorano crime family. He was associated with captain John "Apples" Aparo in Downtown Los Santos during 2022. Prior to his association to the mafia, Vincent also worked as a business analyst for Faraday Securities Corporation, a stockbroking company on Wall Street in Liberty City, from 2005 until 2014. Vincent currently resides in Paleto Bay, San Andreas with his fiancée and their two children. Biography Vincent James Torelli was born on November 19, 1987 at the Westdyke Memorial Hospital in Alderney City. His father James was the acting boss of the Torelli crime family, and is of Sicilian descent with ancestry in Messina, Eastern Sicily. His mother Rosalie (née Sferra) was a homemaker also of Sicilian descent, with relatives in the commune of Ribera, in Agrigento, Western Sicily. Vincent also has a paternal relation to Western Sicily through his fifth cousin Samuel Cantavespre, who's family came from Bisacquino (only 82 kilometers from Agrigento). Samuel's mother Francesca Longo shared a cousin relation with Liberty City mobster Joe N. Gallo of the Amato crime family. Samuel is also a made member of the Liberty City-based Lombardo crime family, and is currently active in Birmingham, Alabama. Vincent was raised in the affluent Montclair neighborhood in Essex County, and attended Immaculate Conception High School. He graduated with a diploma in 2005, and later attended Vespucci University in Liberty City. He graduated in 2011 with a Master's Degree in Business Analytics. Career From 2005 until 2014, Vincent was employed as a business analyst for Faraday Securities Corporation in Liberty City. He was allegedly terminated in November 2014 due to job outsourcing. Vincent was unemployed from 2014 until July 2021. By mid-2021, he began living in Los Santos, San Andreas. He was employed by the Los Santos Waste Department as a driver and fleet manager until August 2022. According to organized crime researchers, Vincent was also employed as a laborer at Horizon Construction, a mafia-operated firm in Los Santos. According to public records, Vincent was also employed by several Martorano-connected bars and restaurants in Los Santos in 2022. As of July 2023, Vincent owns and operates the Pizza Bar, a restaurant in Paleto Bay, San Andreas. Organized crime history Organized crime researchers believe Vincent's initial involvement with the Italian-American mafia began in 2005, when he was hired by Faraday Securities Corporation. His father James Torelli reputedly used his connections to Wall Street businessmen in Algonquin, Liberty City to secure the position for Vincent. He also could've used extortionary tactics against then-executive Sylvester McCollough, who later died of natural causes in 2010. By 2021, Vincent was active in the criminal underworld of Los Santos. It is believed that during much of 2021 and early 2022, Vincent was associated with Melody Frey, a noted criminal figure and political anarchist active in southern San Andreas. It is believed that Frey was responsible for the importation and distribution of large amounts of fentanyl and cocaine via an importer with ties to the San Andreas government, and that Vincent worked as an enforcer for Frey's organized criminal ring on behalf of the Torelli crime family. By the summer of 2022, Vincent allegedly gained a connection to the locally dominant Martorano crime family, and worked primarily as a drug trafficker for the organization. He was associated to the Downtown crew, through captain John "Apples" Aparo (d. 2023). According to witness testimony, Vincent was also an associate of Rocco DiFiore (d. 2022), Ronald DiFiore (d. 2022), and Dominic Civella, the latter of which was indicted in April 2023 for racketeering and embezzlement. As of July 2023, Vincent maintains a loose connection to the mafia presence in southern San Andreas, reputedly working as a representative of the Alderney mafia. He conducts business from the Pizza Bar, a restaurant in rural Paleto Bay. References 1. ^ Black Hand Forum (needs citation) 2. ^ u/Wdstrvx (June 19, 2023).

The NorSan Skinheads are a loosely connected network of white gangsters, based around the Paleto Bay area and the greater Northern San Andreas region. The group is involved in a plethora of criminal activities around their home area, including but not limited to; residential burglary, car theft, armed robbery, and drug as well as weapons dealing. Many members of the NorSan Skinheads are addicts themselves, being as unable to resist drugs such as methamphetamine, crack-cocaine, and heroin, as their clients. The NorSan Skinheads have their roots in the San Andreas hardcore punk scene of the late 1980s and '90s. Initially a group of punks and skinheads without ties to the more criminal or racist elements of the scene, they would veer more and more into criminality over time. As members would gradually find themselves locked up or addicted to hard drugs, they would adopt many aspects of the criminal lifestyle into their own. By the mid '00s, the group was no longer recognizable due to the many changes that had occurred over the years. What began as a group of punks interested in partying, fighting, and getting high, had become a street gang focused on making money peddling drugs, and using them. The group has managed to stay relatively small with many members either dead, behind bars, or out of the life. These days the NorSan Skinheads fund themselves entirely through their many illegal ventures, including Petty robberies, residential burglaries, and the distribution of methamphetamine. The lucrative meth industry funds many white gangs across the U.S., and the NorSan Skinheads are no different. The NorSan Skinheads promote an environment of heavy roleplay, with an emphasis on realism and accurate character portrayals and development. Please note that the NorSan Skinheads, being a skinhead group, will contain themes of white supremacy and the racist skinhead ideology, as well as rampant drug use, and violence. These views are in no way reflective of any members OOC beliefs. Any prospective members that harbor such views on an OOC basis will be promptly removed, and reported if deemed necessary. There will be NO tolerance for any racism in an OOC setting within this group. As per any other faction, the NorSan Skinheads will hold CK perms, and leadership will have the privilege of CKing members if deemed necessary.

Recycling really old memes aside, I did want to kick up another discussion for this. It's no secret that RP on the server is pretty one-sided. The vast, vast majority of the player base is concentrated in LS. That's never really going to change, most people here come sold on the idea of roleplaying pseudo-Los Angeles. From the high class civilians who drive around in sports cars and frequent clubs to the lower class workers who work at the docks or shops. Same goes for less than legal RP, organized crime tends to take vast inspiration from the syndicates and gangs that've gained near mythical status in LA. This is gonna focus on the county, though. RP for the county is wholly concentrated in Sandy Shores and Harmony. The RP in these towns revolves almost completely around low-income rural lifestyles. Sandy's a run down forgotten town, Stab City is a trailer park, and Harmony has a few hotels, some mechanics and even more trailers. But because of this, county RP has become almost exclusively this breed of roleplay. To the point where it feels like anyone from the County (Regardless of which town in the county) may as well be from Dixieland. People in Sandy and Harmony, for the most part, like the status quo. They're having fun, and they don't want sweeping changes that will turn their RP hubs into something totally different. They've got every right to feel this way, and changing their fun isn't right. But with the discussion of the Cayo Perico mod, I came to the realization that there really isn't any option for middle class RP in the county. As someone who grew up in a rural area of the US that both absolutely ate shit during the 2008 recession and recovered from said recession from tripling down on tourism, I'm going to pull from real life experience. Because I've believed for a while now that Paleto has an absurd amount of potential that can generate interest and a dedicated player base for RPers of all cloths and colors. It's a coastal town that has access to a pristine beach, a huge mountain area for hunting/skiing/hiking, and space to build. There's a ton of business opportunities here, both legal and illegal. Anyone who's ever been to places like Myrtle Beach or Ocean City knows that these places can be both extremely beautiful and exceptionally sleazy at the same time. Because what better place to sell LSD than a place where a thousand college kids show up for Spring/Summer break? Or charge them exhorbant prices for hotels, food and attractions. And the best part is we could do this while not changing the RP scene in Sandy or Harmony. It could create three different 'poles' on the map, each one with a different overall culture for the characters who focus there. Does anyone else agree? I know this is pretty optimistic, but I think it's worth giving a shot if enough resources can be mustered.

PALETO BAY SAWMILL The Paleto Bay Sawmill, nestled in the heart of Paleto Forest, was once a thriving hub of activity for the local community. However, in recent years, it fell into a state of disrepair and abandonment, leaving many jobless and without hope.

Now, thanks to this agreement, the sawmill is set to once again become a beacon of hope and opportunity for Paleto Bay and the surrounding areas. The agreement between the government agencies and the sawmill's owners aims to not only bring jobs back to the county, but also to ensure that the sawmill operates in a safe and efficient manner.

"You are the way and the wayfarers. And when one of you falls down, he falls for those behind him, a caution against the stumbling stone. Aye, and he falls for those ahead of him, who, though faster and surer of foot, yet removed not the stumbling stone." - Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet THE STORY SO FAR... "Birth." Alderney City. 1987. Vincent James Torelli was born into a household wrought with moral decay, veiled under secrecy and fear. His family's involvement in the North Alderney cosa nostra was kept hidden during Vince's early years. He was a child of the nineties, and the RICO predicates had delivered a clear and blistering blow to his grandfather James. It was obvious to those who experienced it that the golden years of the American mafia were over; shot dead suddenly and buried shallow, in the event that one day it could be dug up once more to produce forth its stink upon those who come upon its rotted cadaver. It wasn't brought up at the dinner table. It wasn't ever mentioned directly. The mafia was like an inherited, genetic disease for many in the Torelli household. Like a diagnosis of cancer, it was more a solemn, pitiful truth than the status of pride and arrogance it was less than ten years prior. Vince wasn't lied to when he was curious. He knew his grandfather was in prison on RICO indictments. He knew his father was connected. However, he never asked directly. He never took it as a thing of pride, yet he never took it as a thing to be fearful of. It was part of him, and as he aged he simply lived with it. "College." Columbia University, Liberty City. 2005. Vince ascended into the Ivy League, no doubt thanks to his father's many "friends" in Liberty City. Life was looking up for the young Vince, despite it not going in the direction he had hoped. Dreaming his entire life of being an astronomer, he dared not challenge his father's wishes for him to eventually work among the many millionaires of Wall Street. Come what may, Vince knew that with his girlfriend Abigail by his side, nothing could stop him from success. By late-2005 Vince was secured a full time position at Faraday Securities Corporation, located high up within 100 Wall Street. As he progressed through university, so did his portfolio. Married in 2007. A father to a daughter and a son in 2008. A Master of Business Analytics in 2011. Torelli's family thrived in North Caldwell. He drove an Albany V-STR. He was successful, but he was unhappy. He wasn't an astronomer. "Security." Wall Street. 2014. Rumors swirled in early 2014 about outsourcing. Faraday Securities Corporation was in turbulence. Vince started developing alcoholism, brought on in part by his hereditary double-genetic tendency for it. He'd spend many lonely nights zoned out in the Carpe Diem bar in Berchem. His wife was less concerned with wealth and more concerned with his happiness. He didn't belong where he was. He wanted to move to North Yankton. He never did. By August, Vince's position was targeted in the outsourcing layoffs. Cheaper analytical staff could be found overseas. By November, Vince was bleeding money. His wife was disgusted with him. He knew he was about to lose everything, as he sat within a house he could no longer afford. "Loss." Alderney City. 2016. Vince had sold most of his assets to afford those he actually kept. However, after a night of arguing with Abigail, the act of throwing a wine glass at her was justification enough for her to file for divorce and win with flying colors. Alcoholism. Domestic abuse. Marijuana usage. To the jury, Vince was a bad husband and an even worse father. A danger to himself and obviously to his own children. By 2017, all that was left in Vince's life was a Kanjo SJ and enough willpower to work odd jobs to satisfy his lust for whiskey. "Freelancer." Alcoholics Anonymous. 2021. A wealthy sponsor in Vince's AA group signed him up for a two-month long furlough in a rehab facility in the sunny city of Los Santos. On a bus bound for the land of milk and honey, he arrived one late summer's night in 2021 and immediately went to work as a garbage hauler for a company based out of El Burro. Many lonely nights were spent as the sole driver of a route from El Burro to Del Perro, idolizing the rich and successful members of Los Santos' high society. Clad in a polyester weatherproof poncho and beaten up jeans, Vince swore to himself that one day he would be like them. After several cases of harassment on the job, Vince acquired a gun from a man named Tyrone during a chance encounter at the Pacific Standard bank. Vince was robbed of the gun shortly after. Knowing he couldn't turn to the police, Vince embraced, in his small pathetic way, his status as a criminal. As the weeks rolled on, Vince became less concerned with sobriety and more concerned with survival. He eventually stopped showing up to the AA meetings altogether, instead opting to drive up to Paleto Bay. In Paleto, Vince met a mysterious figure by the name of 'David', who showed Vince how to grow marijuana in several public growing spots up north. Vince also met a lady named Charlie Bankshot, who would go on to show him the gang politics of the county. Many times, he was robbed at gunpoint by redneck gangsters. Vince later added to his trade the art of car theft, breaking into the parking lot of a mechanic shop in Paleto Bay and stealing cars right from under their noses. This is how he first wound up in Twin Towers. Vince knew the risk far outweighed the reward, and if he were to make any money he'd need to join an organization. By chance, he met a man named Christoph Wellerman. A suit-donning and clean shaven fellow, Wellerman had an aura of leadership about him as he rambled on subtly about crime. Vince was determined to work for Wellerman. "The Underground." Del Perro Pier. October 2021. In early October 2021, a cancer awareness gala was held on the Del Perro pier. Vince picked up a random hitchhiker and the two set off to the event. Upon arrival, it was filled to the brim with individuals wearing pink. On the far side of the pier was Wellerman, Charlie and a mysterious lady in pink camouflage. This lady would come to be known as Melody Frey, the leader of an anarchist organization known simply as The Underground. Seeking employment, Vince began to work for this group, which identified itself with pink clothes and cars. Vince's first murder committed for The Underground was that of a clown on the eve of Halloween. As he sat on the sands of Vespucci Beach cutting up the clown with a bowie knife, Torelli knew that his choice to enter into this life was permanent. Later that month, Vince and David were mugged in Paleto. Vince was shot at three times with a .50 pistol. The rounds were deflected by the car's metal, which sent shrapnels of lead, glass and metal deep into Vince's skull. By the time the doctors removed it from his frontal lobe, they concluded that enough had already seeped into Vince's blood to blind him. They also said that what couldn't be removed would lead to his own death from lead poisoning in a maximum of three years. Torelli's next few weeks were spent committing petty crimes, or chasing after the daughters of Misha McQueen with his friend and co-member, Sean O'Malley. Misha was actually the woman who inspired Vince to initially leave The Underground, as she told him of the moral corruption of Melody and her apathy towards her own members. Vincent left The Underground a few weeks later. Initially wanting to join Marcus Falcone's crew of Italian-American heist men from Liberty City, he opted instead to join a loose crew of Mexicans from Jamestown Street. They robbed stores, chopped cars and eventually targeted Melody. By mid-December the crew was in tatters, and it was obvious to Vince that he made the wrong choice. He sold them out to Melody, in exchange for forgiveness. "Grace." Del Perro. January 2022. Vince's life was back on track. He was earning regularly with The Underground. He still lacked a basic human component to survival - companionship. Vince encountered Grace Adams, who joined The Underground during Vince's hiatus. By chance, the two fell for each other during a night of sightseeing at the Kortz Center on a chilly winter's night, January 28th. For the next several weeks, the couple lived together in Del Perro. They'd spend their days fishing at the pier, getting high from hippie kush. Grace was a 27-year old widow from Arizona, who worked as a car mechanic in Los Santos. Eventually, an FBI investigation into the kidnapping and murder of a prison guard by The Underground forced Vince and Grace to leave the group. Instead of laying low, Vince was contacted by his father James Jr., and tasked with establishing a crew of Italian-American burglars based on Bay City Avenue, on behalf of Alderney City. He did this, recruiting mob associates Benjamin Benito and his brother Joseph, as well as Vincent Bozzi. Other associates included Misha McQueen, Diego Gonzel and Samuel Spade. In mid-March, as the Torelli Crew prospered, Vince proposed to Grace on the Chumash pier. The short-lived crew was eventually disbanded for unknown reasons, with several members absorbed back into The Underground, including Vince and Grace. Even within The Underground, Vince wasn't making enough money to support himself and his habits. Grace was making far more money working as an executive mechanic, and she repeatedly bought him cars and fancy clothes, leading to ridicule from members of The Underground. The pair moved into a condo in Eclipse Towers. Vince was still a lowly street thug, barely making enough to pay for the week's food. On April 11th, the couple separated and Vince was kicked out of the apartment. Alone again, Vince was broken and without a tribe. He couldn't stay in The Underground for as long as Grace was there. He had to find a new home. "Benny Diamonds." Mission Row. May 2022. Vince's initial time directly after the breakup was either spent in bars, or in the Richman Hotel as he stalked Grace online. Fate would blow in Vince's favor when he entered into Damiani's Diamonds and Fine Jewelry one late-May afternoon, the 7th. He had a chance encounter with a man named Benjamin Ruggieri, who quickly inducted him into a shadowy Italian-American community. He was introduced to a man named Samuel Villione and was tasked with chopping cars. The next few months were spent slowly working his way up the borgata's food chain. Members of the family would come and go. Benny Diamonds was shot twice in the head, as John Aparo came to take his place. Death became an accepted part of his new lifestyle... the Tarano crew... the DiFiore brothers... even a random bloke named Raymond Cirillo, whom Vince murdered with Brandon Conradina and Rocco DiFiore, one starry July night. "Chloe." Pillbox Hill. July 2022. Vince received a call late one night from a girl he happened to meet outside the Pharaoh beauty shop. Her name was Chloe Hill. She was out of friends and she wanted one. The two soon bonded, before they found themselves in love. Much like Grace, the two became closest when sharing their troubles with life. However, unlike Grace, Vince and Chloe shared solidarity in the fact that they were ill. Chloe - a PHMC-diagnosed schizophrenic with early-onset Parkinson's who had been in Pillbox's psych ward countless times... and Vince - a depressive, sociopathic loner with lead poisoning and frequent strokes. Vince and Chloe's affection for each other was unconditional. The two became engaged on July 31st. Vince stole Chloe's engagement ring from Damiani's. It was around this time they also went on a week-long trip to Liberty City on a sightseeing tour. During the trip, Vincent also made contact with an old Faraday associate who could help him with a phantom billing scheme in LS. "On Record." Mission Row. August 2022. Vince was put on record into the Martorano crime family by John Aparo on August 6th. Chloe was impregnated by Vince that same day. On August 7th, Chloe was taken from Vince's life in the middle of the night by men in white jumpsuits. She was taken to a psychiatric facility in upstate Flint County, San Andreas. Vince was once again alone in his day to day life. His thirty-fifth birthday approached quickly. He was broke, and he needed to make money. He continued to work with the Martorano crime family for the next several months, primarily as a bartender at Goldie's or making an attempt at a phantom billing scam through Horizon Construction, LLC. "Chloe, Part II." Flint County. September 2022. The days dragged on for Vince as he maintained his role in the Mission Row borgata. Regular weekly trips were made to the Flint County Psychiatric Facility, where he would visit Chloe and witness the abuse she would sustain at the hands of the orderlies. It wasn't her first time in a psych ward, having spent long months in Pillbox Hill and Mount Zonah. However, Chloe's unique illness of claiming to recall "past lives" attracted the attention of a Eurasian organized crime group who's leader, Nikolai Kalinov, shared the same disease. Together with a cabal of elite arms-dealers known only as "La Fuente Blanca", they kept Chloe prisoner in the ward, eventually attempting to murder Vince when he got too close. He survived a nearly-fatal stabbing from Kalinov himself, ending up in the San Fierro Medical Center. "The Maccaviti." San Fierro. October 2022. As Vince laid either in a comatose state, or so paralyzed that he required assistance to take a shit, he longed for his days on Mission Row. It was evident the first week that he was stripped from his whole life he built for himself and Chloe in Los Santos... he was stuck in the small, cramped hospital due to Nikolai Kalinov's attack. However, while Vince rotted away in the hospital, Chloe had found new friends in an equally powerful and secretive organization of private counter-terrorists with a focus on extra-sensory perception (ESP), of which they believed Chloe to be a possessor. This group was known as "The Maccaviti." They had the resources to not only bust Chloe out of the hospital, but also her daughter Layla who was trapped in a foster home in Los Santos. They also rescued Vince from San Fierro, taking the family to a shelter in the Queens district. In return, Chloe would be recruited into The Maccaviti to hunt Kalinov. On October 30th, the plan was set into motion. Simultaneously, and initiated by shortwave radio signal, three teams converged on the psychiatric hospital, the foster home and the San Fierro Medical Center, freeing Chloe, Layla and Vince. Originally wanting to go to Liberty City, their plans changed... their new identities would be in Paleto Bay. "The Maccaviti, Part II." Paleto Bay. November 2022. In November 2022, The Maccaviti "disappeared" Vince, Chloe and Layla to a small apartment in Paleto Bay, giving them new identities, clothes, cars and livelihoods. It's as if the answer to every gangster's proverbial prayer - the ability to walk away - had struck Vince and his family in an incredible display of luck. However, with the rebirth of the Martorano crime family in Los Santos, as well as Vince's close contact with an old Cuban-Mexican friend of his, how long Vince and Chloe could maintain their act was uncertain... though several altercations happened with John Aparo's men, Vince and his family remained untouched in Paleto. Their daughter, Olivia Marie Hill, was born on January 3rd, 2023. "A Quiet Life." Paleto Bay. April 2023. Today, Vincent, Chloe, Layla and Olivia live outside of a two-bedroom apartment unit in Paleto Bay. Chloe works as a stay-at-home mom, spending her days attempting to improve her own mental health, all the while making an attempt to be a mother to Layla and Olivia. Vincent works odd jobs, often moonlighting in the service industry and making extra cash selling small amounts of pot to his close associate network. Long gone are the glorious days of life in the American Mafia as he lives a quiet existence in the county, spending most of his free time with his family. Despite the otherwise normal and stable condition of the Torelli household, the threat of Kalinov and the return of The Maccaviti lingers over their heads. It's like a muffled, ever-present tension that refuses to release itself. With each passing day, life grows more comfortable... something potentially detrimental if those unseen forces ever came back into their lives.

Detailed Description Paleto Bay has a housing shortage (as always). There's been talks of turning one of the motels into an apartment complex. Since there are two motels in Paleto, I don't think anyone would mind one of the motels being turned into some standalone apartments. There're also some nice areas where some trailers could be put down, just how Sandy received some love in the form of trailers being scattered around. Such options would be that little sandy parking lot right in front of the Bayview Lodge, around Procopio Beach, or maybe even the spot in the image below. There're a few shacks on Procopio beach, those could be turned into houses too. For example: https://www.gta5-mods.com/maps/peleto-shack-1-0 There's also a construction site right by the truck stop. If the modding team could work their magic just like they did with the Davis project, or the new Mirror Park estates, that'd be amazing. The construction site doesn't really benefit anyone. A small complex with a park could easily provide accomodation to full-time Paleto RPers who still have no houses or apartments in the area. Relevant Commands/Items As far as I know, no. Just some modding/mapping magic. How will it benefit the server? There's always a shortage of houses in Paleto, it's hard to keep track of who owns what, who's inactive, who's a city RPer. If these houses were added on a request basis, at least the PM team could actually monitor that the potential new houses/apartments/trailers go to active Paleto RPers.
