THIS THREAD WILL SHOWCASE THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOUR RUSSIAN MALES WHO ADAPTED TO AMERICAN CULTURE With ties to the Russian Mob - the dangerous quartet developed an attitude that where they feel invincible and untouched.

THE HISTORY An new prospect's perspective In the beginning there is always blood ... and then there are bodies. Rain pelted the streets outside my Upper Darby home, one block south of Linden Avenue in a working-class neighborhood once commandeered by the Pagan Motorcycle Club. The media trumpeted the group's close association with La Cosa Nostra and described the Pagans as the "fiercest of the outlaw biker gangs with 900 members in 44 chapters between New York and Florida." Founded in 1959, the Pagans with all the other "outlaw clubs," according to the American Motorcycle Association (AMA), supposedly comprised the 1 percent of American motorcyclists who were considered to live outside the rule of law. But true outlaws were not criminals at all. They were conformists, a club of misfits who followed their own code of ethics, dress, and rules. The Pagans have a long, sordid, and bloody history. Formed in 1959 in Maryland by Lou Dobkin, a Navy veteran and motorcycle enthusiast from Prince Georges County, Maryland, the Pagans are less notorious to the general public and receive far less attention than their rival Hells Angels. Dobkin was revered as a god in the Pagan world. Pagans respect their history, and members, as well as prospects, have to know the organization's past. Anyone caught talking negatively about Dobkin or not showing the proper respect was dealt with violently, particularly prospects. As I prepared to prospect, one of my top priorities was studying the Pagans. I was required to know the history of the club, memorize the rules, and know every detail of the organization from the meaning of each patch to the riding formations to the protocols on planning trips and getting gas. Wrong answers to questions from members had serious, often violent consequences. The Pagans, by definition, is a motorcycle club and a nonprofit organization. In reality, it's a criminal gang. Clubs host bake sales and meat raffles. Pagan members sold crystal meth and guns, brutalized rivals, and extorted businesses. The rules were strict and comprehensive. They were well organized. Nothing happened involving any club member that wasn't known by the President, Vice President, Sergeant At Arms, or others. It was a strict brotherhood. One thing I learned early was what racists they were. The Pagans were a white supremacist group. They strictly prohibited blacks from becoming members. They joined the Aryan Nation when in prison, and an unsettling number of members wore white power slogans and Nazi insignias on their colors, including swastikas and SS lightning bolt-style symbols. The Pagans are broken down into individual chapters mostly based in small and medium-sized cities and rural areas. Local chapters range from five members to as many as fifty or more. The Portland chapter, when I was beginning to prospect, had ten members. All chapters report to the Mother Club, a well-organized and tight-knit group of longtime Pagans who oversee the whole gang, including approving promotions and new members and setting the rules and agenda for the gang. Each member kicks up payments monthly to the Mother Club. A portion of these payments are used by the Mother Club to support Pagans in prison and their families. Putting money in the commissary account of an incarcerated member was another way they showed they were a brotherhood, but it also helped ensure loyalty. It's common practice for organized crime figures to support the families of incarcerated gangsters and send money to them in prison for that very reason; to buy loyalty and, more importantly, silence. THE PAGANS, A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION Delegating criminal activity is common practice in the outlaw biker world. Law-enforcement estimates suggest that at any given time, full-patch members of the outlaw clubs have anywhere from five to thirty prospects and hang-arounds at their disposal to do everything from menial housework to running their criminal enterprises. This latter activity keeps the bikers insulated from the threat of prosecution, while the ever-present threat of violent retaliation keeps any prospect or hang-around who is arrested from talking. All outlaw motorcycle gangs are clandestine and difficult to penetrate, but the Pagans were the gold standard. Their entire brand was based around never having been infiltrated by cops, and it was well known that they did painfully exhaustive background checks on potential new prospects. They did comprehensive surveillance. They surprised prospects at home or at work. They popped into the local bar to check out prospects' stories. They questioned prospects' friends and family. They questioned their every move and questioned them again over several weeks about the same thing. If answers weren't consistent, prospects were called out on it. It was mental warfare, at all times. In the nineties, the Pagans saw its ranks grow, along with its violence. In New Jersey in 1994, two Pagans were murdered and three others were seriously wounded in the bloody culmination of a turf battle with the Hells Angels. The infamous Hellraisers Ball melee in New York touched off a war with the Hells Angels. Two weeks after the deadly 2002 clash, a Pagans tattoo shop in Philadelphia was firebombed. Three years later, the Philly Hells Angels Vice President was executed by Pagans as he drove his truck on a highway. The Hells Angels closed their Philadelphia chapter after the slaying. In 2007, federal agents and state cops raided several Pagan stash houses in New York and seized automatic weapons, homemade bombs, and dozens of guns. All of them had been stockpiled for a potential war with the Hells Angels. A BRIEF LOOK AT PAGANS IN SAN ANDREAS In recent years, it's been noted by several Law Enforcement agencies that the Pagans have aligned themselves in an agreement with the Mongols MC to foster the expansion of both clubs across the West and East coasts respectively. The Mongols have traditionally had a strangle-hold on the Southern San Andreas territory, whereas the Pagans have mostly stuck to the Eastern seaboard. Both clubs have bargained a deal where the Pagans would allow the establishment of new Mongol chapters in Eastern states, while the Mongols MC would allow the Pagans to continue their surging expansion march Westward towards the Pacific. This was commonly known within the Pagans as "The Blue Wave". In early 2022, the Pagans MC made their first attempt at establishing themselves in SoSan, however after a stint of only a few months, internal politics and power struggles within the fledgling chapter led to it's ultimate demise. More recently in May of 2023, a very small contingent of Pagan Nomads has been seen throughout Los Santos and Blaine County. Although their presence is small, it's alleged that they've been flying under the radar and beginning to make moves from the shadows. It's purported that this could be the second attempt at establishing a permanent presence in the city of Los Santos. SUPPORTYOURLOCALPAGANSMC

The Mongols Motorcycle club is a “one-percenter” motorcycle gang and alleged organized crime syndicate. The club was originally formed in Montebello, California by hispanic Vietnam-war veterans who were said to be refused entry into the Hells Angels due to their ethnicity. The Mongols Motorcycle Club is currently headquartered by their “mother chapter” in Southern California where their main presence is felt, and the club is still in active war with their notorious rivals, the Hells Angels. The club has chapters in fifteen states, as well as international charters in Mexico, Australia, Canada, Russia, Germany, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Switzerland and New Zealand. The Mongols started much like most clubs in the late sixties. A rowdy bunch of misfits, closely bonded by friendship, family, and brotherhood who enjoyed riding motorcycles, partying hard, and had a strong distaste for the views and ideologies of mainstream society. It didn’t stay that way for long. They eventually began pushing guns and narcotics, making a profit from anything they could, all while making their presence known. The Mongols are known for a broad spectrum of crime ranging from petty theft, to arms and narcotics trafficking, prostitution, robbery, and even murder. In the first five years after 1969, the club grew from the backstreets of East Los Angeles to establishing chapters in San Diego, Bakersfield, Long Beach, and also the San Gabriel and San Fernando Valleys (SGV/SFV). The club’s name is a tribute to the Mongol army of the legendary Genghis Khan, and their logo is a representation of Genghis, the founder of the empire, riding a motorcycle. The Mongols colors are black and white. The Mongols M.C. developed an immediate strong hold in the Southern California area. At the time and even now there were really no other 1%er clubs co-existing in these areas. During the early 1970’s the Mongols M.C. launched this new American biker movement into the West Coast area. This was a lifestyle, a culture, and a way of life for the brothers riding around on their chopped Harley Davidson motorcycles on the streets of East Los Angeles showing power and solidarity. The majority of new member were ex Vietnam veterans returning from the recent war. The brothers were accustomed to a strict disciplined, regimented program that was about honor, loyalty, respect, and camaraderie. This made them a force to be reckoned with. The Mongols name derived from the Mongol Empire that was led by Genghis Khan. The Mongols divided and conquered big countries throughout Eastern Europe in the early 1200’s. They were known to be highly disciplined, superbly coordinated and brilliant in tactics. The Mongols were fearless warriors on horseback. Yet small in numbers with a lot of heart they dominated and decimated their enemies; Hence the Mongols name that we now wear proudly on our backs, but the difference now is we ride iron horses. At the end of the day it’s about “Quality not Quantity!” - Lil' Dave (National President) It is our aim to create a realistic and enjoyable outlaw 1%er Motorcycle Club role-play environment, more specifically, a portrayal of the Mongols MC's Compton, East Los Angeles, Hollywood, and San Gabriel Valley Chapters. We strive to uphold our strict image of a primarily Hispanic motorcycle club and live up to the colloquial nickname of "cholos on wheels". Standing true to the stories of real life Mongols members and the club itself, many members here role-play as ex gangbangers from different Sureño sets, although this is not mandatory as Caucasian members are also welcomed, encouraged & accepted. Mongols MC chapters operate semi-independently of each other, so it's important to think about your character's portrayal and demographic when choosing a chapter to interact with. We recommend thinking about the local demographic of the area, the style of roleplay you'd like to be engaged in, and your character's future progression and growth. These things are all important to consider when starting out. You can find Mongols MC chapters in the following locations: DAVIS EAST L.S. VINEWOOD SAN CHIANSKI VALLEY Any questions, concerns, or other queries can be directed to @Psychedelic, or @CULTure. MONGOLS MC and the Mongols logo (R) are trademarks owned by the Mongols Nation Motorcycle Club, and full credit and respect is given to the club.
