The East Side (E/S) Mad Swan Bloods is a based African American street gang. The Swans, also known as "Park Bandits," were founded in 1973. Their original name was the "77 Main Street Swans," and their area stretched from 77th Street which is now "Capitol Boulevard to Strawberry Boulevard. Surrounded by Crip rivals, the 84 Main Street Swans defected from the gang and later joined the Main Street Mafia Crips in the late 1970s, becoming bitter rivals. The Innocence Family Gang and the Ganton Park Family Bloods, collectively known as the "Family Alliance," have a tight friendship with the Mad Swan Bloods. The Swans then carried on his legacy by establishing many new gangs as well as sets under the gang. When it comes to the Madd Swan Bloods, they are located on the Eastside of South Los Santos but can be seen around different areas of South Los Santos. The Madd Swan bloods are broken down into different sets, and these sets consist of the 77th Street Madd Swan Bloods, the 79th Street Madd Swan Bloods, the 80th Street Madd Swan Bloods, and the 84th Street Madd Swan Bloods. Although the Madd Swans are one of the largest Swan subsets, there is also the Neighborhood Family Swan Bloods. The Neighborhood Family Swan Bloods emerged from the abyss along with the Madd Swan Bloods, but they kept their own identity, despite the shared name with the Madd Swans.The Neighborhood Family Swans get their name because of their alliance with the Madd Swan Bloods and their alignment with the Neighborhood and Family Bloods umbrella. The Mad Swan Bloods and the East Coast Crips have had a very violent rivalry since the beginning of both gangs. On February 2, 1990, a shooting broke out between two parties. Allegedly, two unaffiliated males were standing, sporting the color blue, a popular color worn by Crips. Within moments, a green Cadillac drove past the group, doing a double take after seeing the male's blue attire. The driver then pulled into a burger restaurant parking lot and hopped out, making his way toward the group. Upon the shooter's approach, the male began unveiling a weapon from his right side. Once the three males spotted the weapon, the group of young boys then took off running. The shooter then started firing at the group, supposedly, while the male was shooting, he shouted, "This Madd Swans!" and kept sending shots at the group. The male appeared to be firing a .22 caliber pistol from a distance of approximately 30 feet. Although the male missed many of his shots, he eventually struck one of the males in his lower back, killing him. When you think about this situation in today's time, this un-called-for murder was probably a result of the rising "color-banging" epidemic back in Los Santos during the early 90s. For those who are not familiar with color-banging, it is the idea of "banging on" someone who is wearing the colors of your opposition. For example, if someone were to wear blue or red in the 90s, they would have most likely been subject to gang violence because of the color they are wearing. In the sense of now, color-banging is seen as a pre-historic idea. It was abandoned as the years passed because of how "silly" the idea is. In today's time, you will see bloods dressed in blue and crips dressed in red. The Madd Swan Bloods are closely allied with the Neighborhood Family Swan Bloods, Innocence Family Gang, Ganton Park Family Bloods, which is known as the Family Alliance or Family Gang. The Madd Swan Bloods are in deep rivalry with a couple of different gangs in South Los Santos as well. They mainly beef with ALL CRIPS but mainly the 18th Street Gang, Avalon Gangster Crips, Kitchen Crips, Main Street Mafia Crips, East Coast Crips, and Pueblo Bishop Bloods. Although they have had beef with the Bounty Hunter Watts Bloods, in recent years they have made efforts for peace. Many rising stars coming out of the Madd Swans are coming together and forming relationships with other stars coming out of the Bounty Hunter Rancho Blood Gang. The background of the beef with the Bounty Hunter Rancho Bloods may coincide with their politics because it is believed that the Bounty Hunter Watts Bloods are too friendly with other crip gangs, but there is no public reason behind the beef.

The E/S 77 Madd Swan Bloods faction is based on the concept of the real-life Madd Swans Bloods gang in Eastside South Central Los Angeles and will be portrayed as such within the lore guidelines.
