Follows the life of a Florencia 13 Gangster Loka named Inés "Morena" Vallejo.

Florencia allegedly started near Florence and Atlantic and at one old point back in time they’ve actually said to have claimed the whole stretch of Forum Drive. Florencia 13, also known as the South Side Florence 13 or F13, is an infamous Hispanic Sureno street gang, with cliques spread throughout Los Santos County of San Andreas. They originated after World War II, during the late 1940s. Florence Avenue street was later renamed to Forum Drive in the 70s due to rising tensions between the local gang and a near East Coast Crip clique. The name Florence is pronounced Florencia in Spanish, and that's where the gang got its name from. This resulted in the gang adopting a 50's "doo-woop" song, "Florence" by The Paragons. The song was often requested by the gang members to let everybody know that Florencia members were posted up. The gang was first formed in the 40s as a neighborhood patrol to protect the Hispanic demographic against the much larger African-American street gangs at the time. Florencia ended up taking the "13" around the 1960s, which to public knowledge corresponds to the letter "M", which publicly announced their affiliation to the Mexican Mafia, over the years, many of the members of Mexican Mafia that ended up getting arrested over street wars were recruited into the ranks of the eMe due to earning their reputation for their ruthleness while fighting against multiple black gangs by themselves, in no time, they turned into one of most loyal and most important soldier for the prison organization. Florencia cliques are located ALL OVER in South Los Santos in a vast area patrolled by the Los Santos County Sheriff’s Department. As is the case with most Chicano street gangs, each individual clique possesses unique geographical boundaries that physically separate one territory from another. A breakdown of each Florencia clique reveals an indicator about its name origination, not only that, each one of them as their own way to dress up and act, the ones closer to South Central are known to this day rock blue bandanas and stay more old schools than the ones closer to blood sets, per example, cliques like Malos have adopted blood culture into their daily way of dressing and nowdays we see alot of them hanging red cloth around their necks and sport red Falcon's gear, not only that, but those were the cliques that front lined against the blood war that happened between Florencia 13 and East Coast Crips that took many lifes during the twenty year span that it lasted. And add onto that the clique me & some friends are forming is a set which formed after 2k21 after many of the Florencia members moving out of SC and situating themselves in Pillbox Hill away from the south central gang scene which obviously brought this specific clique along. After the 1990s, a sizable number of families started leaving South Central in search of places like Pillbox Hill and Mission Row. Although though residents refer to the region as Pillbox Hill, it appeared to have everything a family needed in the early 2000s, but that was only the case for a brief period of time. Unfortunately, these actions had a significant negative impact on the already failing economy in the area. Drugs started to be more common, and a lot more users started to appear on the streets after the collapse of Fleeca's mother company in 2008. Many businesses in the Pillbox Hill area were forced to close down or fire 80% of their staff just to stay afloat. The sureno gang known as Florencia 13 wanted a piece of this market that was up for grabs on the lower half of Power Street. Soon after the Florencia 13 members in South Central made touch with their family who had relocated to Pillbox Hill, the 25th was created. A group of people known as Wicked Vandals 13 was formed in the decade of the 2010s, and the group wasted no time in establishing itself in Chinatown and Pillbox Hill. robbing anyone who had the temerity to challenge them. Being in close proximity to Chinatown and Korea Town the group found themselves in the midst of the largest drug pandemic. Having the reach to get knock-off pain meds from the Chinese and Koreans the gang quickly rose in their notority as pill-demons for the local club goers, and the junkies alike. They haven't had any competition for the market around their area, but that was soon to change. A small group of Eastern Europeans began moving into their areas dealing to their usual buyers, but the real problem was the price. Halfing the current price on opiads in the area caused a lot of drama in the small very populated area, and drama soon insued. David Batista, a young man, was discovered in a dumpster behind the now-named Trauma Factory on February 10, 2017. The 15-year-body old's was discovered with numerous stab wounds to his chest and cash placed in his mouth. This just served to incite the WV to act more violently toward the neighborhood's Eastern European residents, particularly those who resided in their own apartment building. They used family terror to get the drug dealers to come out of hiding, and it was effective Kristijan Markovic was killed by a single bullet to the dome on the doorstep of his grandparents household. A gang member by the name of Casper Dominguez got in touch with the person he believed was in control of the "newly arrived Eastern European dealers" as a result of the indictment at the Markovic residence. The two met in the now-defunct John's poolhall, which was located in an alleyway on lower Power Street, and they reached an agreement. Casper agreed that the Eastern European gang would provide the Wicked Vandals with their medication in exchange for assistance dealing with some of their other competitors. The year is now 2023, and the WV13 is now finding itself once again going back to street level dealing, and making the life of other locals of Chinatown into a living hell. Robberies, and petty theft has been on the rise ever since the summer of 2022 due to these so called 'gang members' focusing on minor offences which would cause them to be back out on the streets quicker.
