━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Devil Dog Car Club is a prominent group of car enthusiasts that originated in Japan but has established a presence in America. Founded by a passionate group of Japanese automobile aficionados, the club quickly gained popularity for their unique approach to car culture, blending Japanese automotive traditions with American and European influences. The origins of the Devil Dog Car Club can be traced back to a small community of car enthusiasts in Japan who shared a deep admiration for Kaido racers and Bosozoku-esc rides. Inspired by the aesthetics, power, and the spirit of freedom associated with this subculture, they sought to create a club that would bring forth more like-minded people. A Kaido Racer, also known as a "Kaido Zoku," is a style of modified car that emerged in Japan during the 1980s and 1990s. The term "kaido" refers to Japan's highways or expressways, and "racer" represents the high-performance nature of these modified vehicles. Kaido Racers are heavily influenced by Japanese street racing culture and draw inspiration from the country's rich automotive heritage. Bosozoku is a Japanese subculture that emerged in the 1970s and 1980s. It is associated with motorcycle and car gangs known for their distinctive style, rebellious behavior, and flamboyant modifications. The term "bosozoku" roughly translates to "violent speed tribes" or "reckless driving tribes." In the early 2000s, a handful of founding members decided to expand their horizons and bring the Devil Dog Car Club to the United States. They believed that America's vibrant car scene, rich with diverse automotive cultures and enthusiasts, would be the ideal place to introduce their unique take on Japanese Car Culture. The logo of the Devil Dog’s is known from a fireworks company based in Japan, renowned for their spectacular and innovative displays. With a rich history dating back several decades, the company has earned a prestigious reputation for creating awe-inspiring pyrotechnic experiences that captivate audiences across the country. Setting up a base in Southern Los Santos, the club quickly gained attention for their distinctive style and meticulous attention to detail. Members of the Devil Dog Car Club are known for their insanely customized cars, often featuring a fusion of vibrant colors, enlarged modifications and lots of noise. Their vehicles are a visual feast, showcasing a mix of bold colors, intricate bodywork, lowered suspensions, and high-performance engines. Beyond their eye-catching rides, the Devil Dog Car Club has built a strong reputation for their unwavering commitment to the automotive community. The club actively participates in car shows, rallies, and track events, where they showcase their unique creations and engage with fellow car enthusiasts. They have become renowned for their expertise in tuning, engine modifications, and their willingness to share their knowledge and passion with others. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Devil Dog Car Club faction on GTA:W is a dedicated group of car enthusiasts who bring their passion for automobiles to the virtual world. Recruitment is always open to those who wish to be a part of a smaller community inside of this really big one.

Guide to Legal Civillian Roleplay Part 1 | Creation, Development & Realism Introduction Hey there! So you are looking to get a more indepth knowledge on how to roleplay as a legal civillian? Then you've come to the right place. In this multi-part guide, you'll be taken through it step by step on how to create a realistic legal civillian character. A ''civillian legal character'' is a very broad term to talk of, it can range from a hobo below the bridge to a millionaire living in Rockford Hills, or from the C.E.O. to the DJ keeping your clubs alive! Civillian legal roleplay is really diverse and that is what makes it extremely fun to roleplay as! Note: Civillian legal roleplay is very, very, diverse. It is nearly impossible to hit every point in even a multi-part guide. If I missed anything, feel free to comment and it will be amended. For the sake of this guide, a ''legal civillian character'' will be defined with the following: It is a very subjective manner, you will have to ask yourself in what way this applies to your character.

County Roleplay (WIP) Part 7 | Niche Roleplay (WIP) Creation of your Legal Character Character Traits. Creating your legal character is like creating any other character. However, it is very important to know that even though legal and illegal characters can have similar skillsets and traits, they are applied vastly different from eachother. Keep this in mind when you're creating your character. A famous exemple is; ''If Al Capone went into legit business, he'd make a brilliant C.E.O.'' It is very important to avoid making a character which is good at everything, which is very tempting to make. However, each character has its flaws. What I always like to do when I'm completely stuck on this part, how silly as it sounds; Sims 4. When creating a sim, you are forced to choose between different different traits. For reference, see the below lists of skills and flaws. Its very easy to pick three of each if you are really, really, stuck! Keep it to three, maybe four. It is not advised to make a superhuman, so know the limits! What is important to note however, is that this is just ''merely'' for the generation/creation of your character. A character with reasonable development behind it could change over time. Traits are never permanent! Side-tracking just a bit into the next paragraph of development; always go off of what happens ingame to your character and decide what effect that would have on them. NOTE: the below traits are from the Sims 4 game. Descriptions slightly alterred to fit GTA World. Emotional Traits Hobby Traits Lifestyle Traits Social Traits Development Character Backstory NOTE: Development is something that is consistently adressed throughout these guides. We won't go in-depth into development in this section for that reason. Development of a legal character is, ofcourse, way different than that of an illegal character. You have different factions to join, different oppertunities, and different situations as a whole. The thing that marks a start for your development is always a solid background story. The background story defines your character from before you started playing it, and you can use this to define a lot of indirect traits aswell. Common chapters in a backstory can include the following; Family Basics, Origins Childhood Late Teens Adulthood Traumas endured Aspirations / Life Goals A proper background story for your character should, for exemple, include an explanation for different traits you have chosen for your character and not allow any traits that counter themselves. Character development is the process of building a unique, three-dimensional character with depth, personality, and clear motivations. Character development can also refer to the changes a character undergoes over the course of their life as a result of their actions and experiences. Imagine your character walking down Vespucci Boulevard at night, and gets robbed at gunpoint. Your character is taken by complete surprise, and is quickly searched by the robber. The phone, money, juwelry, all gets taken under the threat of your character's life. Not only is this frightening; this can very well be traumatizing and this could lead to your character having nightmares, avoid walking at night, or even get a CCW under this motivation (and not an illegal gun). This is development. This event had an impact on your character's life and your character is acting upon it and facing the negative and positive consequences accordingly. One major thing you wish to avoid is''Avatarism''. Its a relatively unknown term, but to make the meaning behind it as clear as possible; avatarism is the act in which you portray yourself in a character with little to no actual new traits or development added to it. The character is simply an empty husk, and is being played for the RPG elements of the server. To an extent, avatarism is bannable and you wish to avoid this at all costs. Avatarism is barely present in the illegal roleplay scene. When making a legal civillian character, it is important to note that you should take specific things into consideration. It is, for exemple, likely (but not only) that your character comes from the more wealthy parts of town, and not from South Central. It is also likely a legal character takes measures to avoid interaction with illegal roleplayers, such as avoiding certain parts of town. Realism of your Character What is Realism? Realism in your character aswell as your development means it would be feasable to have him/her excist as a person within the real world, outside your computer. It is actually a requirement for each character to be realistic, described within the server rules at ''6) Character Rules''. It is important to realize what is realistic and what isn't. A few exemples of what most commonly is considered non-realistic, which can be combined too; Your character is 18 and; - Owns 5+ cars and/or; - Is CEO of a huge company and/or; - Has millions worth of assets and/or; - Owns a supercar Your character has no fear at all for illegal roleplayers because of his heroic soldier / street vigilante background. Your character works multiple jobs which would be unlikely to work together with the skillset of your character; you're basicly doing it for the money. Your character is a university student but owns a Kawaii without having millionaire parents; student loans are crippling. Your character is 27, has the mentality of a 15 year old, and owns a CCW license. Your character is a city-rat, came from New York to live in San Andreas, and takes a house in Sandy Shores purely to own a house, even though your character does all her activities within the city of Los Santos. Your character is a model, bartender, CEO, racer, tattoo artist and DJ all at once. Having tattoo's all over your character's body which have little to no meaning at all, apart from looking cool. Your character is a mechanic but owns a supercar and/or lives in a mansion. The realism of your character is monitored by the Roleplay Quality Team, and they actively enforce roleplay quality. You can report poor roleplayers, but people can also report you for poor roleplay. Are there exceptions? Yes, as with any case, there are exceptions. But keep in mind that these are extremely rare and IF you are going to portray one, your roleplay is expected to be almost above server expectations. Exceptions are exceptions, and never the average. Crime is not uncommon among legal civillian characters, however it is not rampant. If you rather want an illegal gun and can't wait to have a justified kill, you're better off with other roleplay oppertunities within the community. Legal civillian characters often involve themselves in petty crime, if involving in crime at all. A legal civillian character should not have a lengthy criminal record (unless its a rehabillitated criminal).
