OTB seeks to accurately portray a Hispanic tag-banging group residing in and around the Popular Street Apartments in La Mesa, LS. For any questions DM @chibs

Even though everyone thinks Los Santos graffiti culture is dead, the reality is that street artists are still alive and active, though it may not be as noticeable as earlier. Sure, most tagging crews have become part of larger street gangs, but independent artists and crews still remain. They live with this idea, actively practicing in their sketchbooks, and then go out to the streets and paint the walls with their streetnames and murals. OUT TO BOMB This crew was formed in Mission Row. They started its active during the mid to late '00s when writing was believed to be dead. They continued to write when there was a strong buff and very few subway lines to write on. This critical time period saw few active writers. OTB and one or two other crews maintained enough energy in writing to create a new wave. Partial listing of OTB members GHOST (RIP), JUP, SURP, DUEL, ANT, KROOK, MR. LSD, POESONE and ROTO Related links: KROOK in FaceBrowser MR. LSD in FaceBrowser Los Santos Art Collective

Metro Transit Assassins crew. In the world of Los Santos graffiti tag, no one can match the Metro Transit Assassins crews. Authorities said the group is responsible for some of the city's most notorious acts of vandalism, particularly the largest tag in Los Santos: the half-mile-long mega-graffiti with the acronym "MTA" that appeared last year along the concrete banks of the Los Santos River near downtown. But on Wednesday, authorities said they had finally arrested the MTA crew, including "Smear," a well-known "graffiti artist" whose work was sold in some downtown Los Santos art galleries. "These people are responsible for tags not only in Los Santos, but also in Las Venturas, Liberty City and San Fierro", said Sheriff's Cmdr. Dan Finkelstein, chief of police for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Authorities have long been frustrated by the MTA , which they said is responsible for thousands of tags in businesses and public spaces, as well as on transit buses and trains , which has been the particular target of taggers. founded in the 90's, it is one of the most important and influential crews in the graffiti world of San Andreas and surroundings, the 10 members of the crew have recently been imprisoned for a mega graffiti they made in the LS River, investigations were conducted to find those responsible for it, right now the crew is being commanded by the cousin of the founder of this crew. This crew is recognized as one of the most important vandal graffiti crews, painting everywhere they go, without fearing the consequences of the police, the goal? The further we go, the better, why do we do it? Simply because we are people who want to change the game, get out of the simple and normal, maybe one of us is a normal salesman in a store, but at night or in his free time, he paints more trains and has more street experience than an idiot who thinks he is a gangster, we go beyond that, we are anti-system, we are an anarchist group, we hate the police and we hate injustice, that's why we do what we do, that's why we fill the city with color, we are not afraid of the dark streets, we paint when you fall asleep and we spend nights of hunger, cold, heat, we suffer robberies, we enter neighborhoods, workshops and train depots, we get into sewers, we go where the rats do not want to go, places that in your dreams you would enter just to leave a mark there. We live for this. IC information We want to bring a realistic role playing environment to the realities of each one, we are graffiti writers, from 15 to 25 years old, some people have a mother, father, aunt, grandmother waiting for them at home, so there will be family problems or not, being so much time in the street sometimes makes you know things that maybe in your life you have seen or tried, so you could fall into an addiction easily or you could be afraid in some situations, graffiti has many sequences, both good and bad, we want to squeeze the experience of the player as if he was doing it in real life, from laughter to the fear that a security guard sees you and wants to punch you, so if you think you can not meet these few requirements of role and you are interested, I invite you to want to learn with us. Remember that: this is a graffiti vandal crew, it is not a gang where we have territory or have weapons to defend ourselves from our enemies, here if someone has a problem in the street, we fight fist to fist in a one on one, If we see that the threat is greater, we withdraw and that's it, just as we would in real life, we will not go in a car to kidnap people and get paid to recover them, we are not a criminal gang, we are vandals who paint graffiti. We accept any person of any ethnicity and neighborhood, as long as they meet the necessary requirements. OOC information I'm here to promote the true role of what hip hop culture and the graffiti element would be, this is a way of life, it's not about selling on the news or putting your gang's name on a rival neighborhood, even though that exists today, those things are from the 70's, graffiti is about other things, beyond drugs and guns. To join the crew, we recommend you to watch several graffiti videos, if it is the first time you are going to roleplay something like this, anyway the owner of the group will carefully explain any doubt you have about the role, do not be afraid to ask, once you have seen the videos or not, you can ask to join the discord group through a private message on my forum profile stomONE or through my discord stomer#4867. videos that can help you perform this role: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQMB_bgq384&ab_channel=TagMachine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7E68uErZWI&ab_channel=TagMachine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t76vQlOBFDE&ab_channel=Cekios https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRGG75tCEeg&ab_channel=BursoneДобро https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJM3J2-LtfY&ab_channel=TagMachine Thank you for coming here and reading everything, if you are interested in entering, follow the steps above.
