The Camaradas Motorcycle Club (MC) is a motorcycle club that promotes brotherhood and a passion for motorcycling among its members. Although there is no detailed information available on its exact founding date, the club has been active for several years, organizing and participating in various events related to motorcycling. The club has a presence in different regions, including chapters in California and Arizona. For example, in 2020, the Arizona chapter organized a ride that was documented on video. In addition to rides, Camaradas MC holds cultural events, such as “Día de los Muertos,” a traditional Mexican holiday. In 2024, they held a commemorative event that was also recorded on video. The club maintains an online presence through platforms such as Facebook, where they share information about events and activities. It is important to highlight that the information available about Camaradas MC is limited, and much of the data comes from online sources and videos shared by the club itself. According to trademark records, Camaradas Motorcycle Club (MC) filed a trademark application on May 16, 2017, indicating that the club had been in operation since at least October 18, 2015. Therefore, it can be inferred that the club was founded around October 2015.

"Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway." John Wayne 🐎 This is the story of Allison Morgan, a young woman who lives in Los Santos For the past few years, her life in Los Santos, and the greater San Andreas has been a turbulent one. As the plane landed and she departed the airport, Allison's mind couldn't comprehend the vastness of Los Santos. She feared she'd be lost in the alleyways and narrow streets. The city was a far cry from her old home. The Morgan Cattle Ranch, nestled in the countryside near Hamilton, Montana. Like a fish out of water, she'd never been to a city so large. Her childhood was spent trail riding on her horse Jeyne, and helping her sisters and mother out around the house or with the smaller animals on the property. Though there's been a lot of ups and downs for Allison so far, she feels there's never any reason to lose hope. Though her original prospect of college and vet school were long lost, she still has ambitions... she just hopes the chaos of the city, and in her love life won't get in the way of them.

Hey there. I'm looking for MC enthusiasts who are not afraid to put in the needed work for a faction to really succeed above expectations. This will be a revival project of my old faction that sadly flopped because of real life issues. Shoot me a DM if interested.

MC PATCH GRAPHIC DESIGN TUTORIAL I've had a few people ask me how to get a sewn-on effect for MC patches for use in kutte mods etc. For context, I have created the patches for two of the server's fictional MCs over the years, starting with Bastards MC and now my current faction, Caballeros MC. While I am by no means an expert on the matter, and I'm sure there's an easier/alternate way of doing this, I thought I would put my personal process into video form for those wanting to start an MC that may not know where to begin with making the patches for their upcoming faction. This video was recorded especially with this tutorial in mind. Please bare in mind that I didn't spend as much time on this as I would if I was making the real thing, therefore compared to the finished products of my previous work, the video patch may not look as good. However if you dedicate a good chunk of time following the tutorial and putting your own spin and personal preferences on it, you can have the same, if not better, outcome! Here is the real version of Caballeros MC patch that I put much more time into. No reason why you can't do yours even smoother than this. THE VIDEO: As the video states, this is a simplified version so feel free to reach out to me if you need further help. TO BE ADDED LATER: - How to make other patches (Front of kutte patches etc), though the process is extremely similar and you may be able to figure that out from this video alone - How to add said patches to a texture file for modders to use

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Richard Tagaloa Richard "Surfs" Tagaloa: The Mixed Mutt from Apia to the County's Underbelly Richard Maria Tagaloa, known on the streets as "Poko," was born on September 27, 2000 by his mother Sandra Mariana Tagaloa ( Hispanic ) and very.. distant father Preston Tagaloa ( Samoan ), in West Apia, the bustling capital of Samoa. A young man hardened by a lifetime surrounded by violence, without a father figure, he grew up on Molu Street, a place where crime and poverty went hand in hand. His childhood was shaped by the powerful pull of the WTN (West Tongan Nation) gang—a notorious crew of mixed Hispanic/Tongan works alike, feared and revered across the islands. For Richie, gang life was the only path he saw. School meant nothing to him, and the streets held both promise and peril. A Gangster in the Making Richard entered the world of crime with a hunger and determination that quickly caught the gang's attention. He became a trusted runner, handling drug deals and extortion for the WTN with a ruthlessness that was rare in someone so young ( 15 ). He was known for his collective demeanor and a strange, almost ill-minded loyalty to the gang. Carrying guns and threats, he left his mark on the streets, calm and collectively. His reputation grew, and so did his role in the gang— armed robberies, trafficking, and endless brawls that left both him and his opponents scarred. As he got older, Richard started to feel the weight of his choices. The brutality he once embraced began to feel hollow, and he began to question the endless cycles of violence and retribution. Prison stints came and went, each one eating away at his humanity. He had a young son he barely knew by the age of seventeen, a child growing up without a father because of his endless stretches, months at a time. The life that had once promised him respect and power was instead taking everything he held dear. A Glimpse of Change After a three years of prison time for assault & battery, Richard found himself suffocating under the weight of the life he had chosen. He started to make his way out of the gang in increments, first by securing a job at a local woodworking shop. The work was hard, the pay minimal, but for the first time, he felt like he was building something, even if it was just furniture. It was honest work—a small rebellion against the life he had known. But the streets don’t let go so easily. Leaving the gang wasn’t a clean cut. He had debts to pay, promises to keep, and enemies who wouldn’t let him go. Every day felt like a countdown, and he knew he had to leave Apia for good if he wanted a real chance. So, with one last goodbye to the gang and the island that had been both home and prison, he headed for Los Santos to sought out his cousin [Violet]. The Mongols MC: A Darker Descent In LS, Richard was introduced to Isaac Montanelli, the vice-president of the Mongols Motorcycle Club. Montanelli was captivated by Richard's wild-eyed fearlessness and saw potential in him as a man willing to go to any length to survive. The Mongols were a different kind of beast. They were older, more formed and some would even beg to say.. more ruthless, and far more connected than the gangs Richard knew in Samoa. They offered him what the WTN never could—a vast network of money, a home, some respect and an introduction to a more organized aspect of power. Now nicked-named "Surfs" he became absorbed in the MC mindset by the help and guidance of his new-found sponsor [Isaac Montanelli]. The club became his new family, a twisted echo of the brotherhood he once had with the WTN, but far deadlier. The work was relentless, dangerous, and took him even further from the boy he’d once been in Apia. Personal Information: Name: Richard Maria Tagaloa Gender: Male Nick Names: Richie, Surfs, Richard. Current Age: 24 Zodiac: Libra Current Address: █████████ Place of Birth: ████████ ████ Height: 6'1ft Weight: 210lb Blood Type: A+ Family: Malcolm "Buster" Tagaloa ( Brother ) Violet Mendez ( Cousin ) ( Samoan ) Preston Oku Tagaloa ( Father ) ( Hispanic ) Sandra Maria Tagaloa ( Mother )

Title says it all, I want to create Devils Henchmen MC. I just need the members to do so. Contact can be either on forum or on my discord (nocturnasdarkness)
-
In the 1960s, a group of Vietnam War veterans came together in San Fierro to form the Devils Henchmen motorcycle club. Initially a close-knit brotherhood, the club soon adopted a formal structure, complete with its own set of rules and traditions. As the Devils Henchmen grew in members they sought to establish chapters throughout the state of San Andreas. The Devils Henchmen reject the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) due to their rebellious nature and preference for autonomy. Unlike AMA clubs, which focus on safe riding and legal advocacy, the Devils Henchmen prioritize loyalty to their own rules and often engage in activities outside the law, emphasizing their distinct outlaw identity. In the early 2000s, the FBI launched a significant crackdown on the Devils Henchmen, targeting their criminal activities across multiple states. This intensive law enforcement effort resulted in numerous arrests and convictions, severely weakening the club's network. Several of their influential members were incarcerated as a result of the investigation, having been caught with narcotics and firearms. As a consequence, the once-expansive Devils Henchmen were reduced to a single chapter in San Fierro, their original stronghold. After the crippling FBI crackdown in the early 2000s, the Devils Henchmen focused on rebuilding their strength and numbers within their sole remaining chapter in San Fierro. Over the years, through careful recruitment and strategic alliances, they have gradually regained their footing. Now, with their membership revitalized and their operations stabilized, the Devils Henchmen are poised to expand once again. They are actively seeking to establish a new chapter in the state of San Andreas, marking a significant step in their resurgence.

Poseidon's Warriors Motorcycle Club Backpatch CHAPTER 1 - The Beginning Paul Morrison had always loved motorcycles. There was something about the wind in his face, the roar of the engine, and the feeling of freedom that came with riding that he just couldn't get enough of. But he also knew that there were a lot of negative stereotypes associated with bikers, particularly those who belonged to Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs. He wanted to create a group of riders who could enjoy their passion without getting caught up in that kind of drama. And so he founded the Poseidon's Warriors Motorcycle Club. At first, it was just Paul and a few of his closest friends who went out for rides together. But as word spread about their group, more and more people started to join in. They all shared the same love of motorcycles, and the same desire to ride legally and responsibly. They weren't interested in getting involved in any kind of criminal activity or causing trouble in name of the Club. They just wanted to have fun and enjoy the open road. As the club grew, Paul realized that they needed to establish some ground rules to make sure everyone was on the same page. They decided that they would always wear helmets and other protective gear, and obey all traffic laws. They also agreed to help out with charity events and community service projects whenever possible, to show that they were a positive force in the community of Vespucci. Despite their good intentions, the Poseidon's Warriors MC still faced some skepticism from outsiders. Some people assumed that they must be involved in illegal activities, since they were a group of bikers. Others looked down on them for not being "real" bikers, since they didn't adhere to the 1%er outlaw code. But Paul and his friends didn't let that discourage them. They knew that they were doing something positive, and they were proud of the club they had built. Over time, the Poseidon's Warriors MC is planning to become a fixture in the community. Organize charity rides to raise money for local causes, volunteer at food banks and homeless shelters, and even start a program to teach kids about motorcycle safety. They show that you could be a biker and still be a responsible member of society. And for Paul and his friends, there was nothing more satisfying than knowing that they were making a difference in their community, one ride at a time. THE CLUB'S FACES (( Out of Character Information )) Poseidon's Warriors MC is legally based, with the core of the faction being on the legal scene - but not forced to stay there. Each and every member of the MC will have the challenge of fighting between the legal and illegal scene, considering the ground rules the Club sets for its members to keep a clean face - and trying to keep out of their name the stereotype of an outlaw MC. It's a unique project, based on a fictional MC and inspired by real life MCs who are operating all around the world without rocking the 1%er patch. To join the Club you will need to figure out their hang around spot and all recruitment is In Character. There are various ways to approach the MC through our planned events or the venues we're planning to open to work as RP Hubs between the MC and the players. We are a happy environment and we accept all roleplayers who are willing to learn and evolve their characters without RPing the typical "veteran outlaw biker" who is already initiated into the MC world, but develop through our faction, whether this ends up being an illegal or a legal outcome.

Hi -
This thread will follow the character development of Arthur Patterson. A simple guy who which to switch to the outlaw life, and his development in joining a 1% MC club that he likes.
-
Hi, guys, so a long time ago I had an interest in roleplaying a biker character, and before I did that kind of RP, I did some re-search I really didn't get enough information about how to roleplay a realistic and actually biker type of character. I asked a lot of questions regarding that kind of RP, and some people gave me some hints, but I also didn't find the information needed. The main problem with me is that I want to RP an in-depth biker character. Like, I need to know more about them regarding how they live. Where do they live? What are their interests? What are their needs and wants? How do you develop the bike character from bottom to top? How do I make the character interesting to me and others? Also, how do I portray an actual biker character? What type of jobs or businesses do they run if I go solo for now? How do I approach any MC club and make them interested in my character? I read a lot of articles on the forums and outside of them. Also, I need to know how to slowly develop him without making the character skip many steps. I really will appreciate it if I get some elite biker role players who have a long experience of biker roleplay. To give me some tips, hints, approaches, and other ways of developing the character along the way without making the character suddenly move away from the path I made for him. The reason that I asked that question is that I sometimes develop the character, and suddenly I feel that I burned out or ran out of ideas to further develop the biker character and at the same time make it interesting.

History I - The Beginning In their early years, two close friends navigated the ups and downs of school and the complexities of college life together. Before motorcycles even entered the picture, they were already the life of the party, forming a group with other like-minded souls who were keen on late nights, loud music, and sometimes, mischief that bent the rules. They lived for the thrill of the moment, always looking for the next adventure or escapade. Despite the fun they were having, these two had their sights set on something bigger: the freedom that could only come from riding their own Harley Davidsons. To make this dream a reality, they hustled, scrimped, and saved, even crafting some clever schemes to gather enough money for a pair of second-hand bikes. Once they got their hands on those motorcycles, everything changed. The pull of the open road was too strong to resist. They left their hometown behind, in search of new horizons and experiences. From sleepy villages to bustling urban centers, they met fellow adventurers who shared their passion for life in the fast lane. The bond was instant, the camaraderie intense. For the next five years, they roamed across multiple states and countless towns, forging a tight-knit brotherhood rooted in the joy of boundless travel and uninhibited celebration. II - The Wrecked Souls Motorcycle Club After spending years on the road and partying, the group started wanting a place to call home and some clear goals. They decided to go back to Texas, where the original members were from, and set up there. They made their friendship official by starting the Wrecked Souls Motorcycle Club. The name fit them well, since they were often caught up in the party life and made quick decisions they sometimes regretted later. To show they were now a real group, they made special patches with a skull and ram horns, using red, black, and gold colors. This became the symbol of the club and gave them a feeling of being part of something bigger. They picked a small town in Texas to settle in and leased a bar, using a local person to help set it up. They also opened a mechanic shop that focused on customizing bikes. For them, the shop wasn't just a business, it was a safe place where people like them could get together, enjoy their bikes, and feel like they belonged. III-Extortion As the Wrecked Souls Motorcycle Club became more stable, they started wanting more than just hanging out and having fun. Their bar and mechanic shop were doing okay, but they saw chances to make more money in the nearby towns. At first, they got into extortion because they needed to. Their mechanic shop had a lot of competition, and they were worried about keeping it open. So some members thought they should use their growing influence to make more money. They started by demanding money from competing mechanic shops and bars for "protection." As they made more money, they got bolder. They started extorting different kinds of businesses like convenience stores and construction sites. If anyone said no, the club would mess with their property, start fires, or even threaten their families. People in the nearby towns started talking about the club, and many were scared or angry. The Wrecked Souls Motorcycle Club became a big deal, somewhere between being feared and having a lot of influence. But their new activities also brought problems. Some club members started questioning if what they were doing was right, while others were okay with it. The police also started looking into their activities, trying to put a stop to their crimes. Still, the club members told themselves they were doing this for good reasons, like keeping their mechanic shop open. But as their crimes got bigger and the risks went up, they had to think about whether they were crossing lines they shouldn't, and what that meant for the club they had created. IV- Drugs & Guns As the Wrecked Souls Motorcycle Club got more involved in crime, they started taking bigger risks for more money. They got contacts in nearby cities that helped them get into drug dealing and gun smuggling. At first, they sold drugs in the towns around them. They used their existing extortion networks to sell drugs like cocaine, meth, and prescription painkillers. At the same time, they started smuggling guns. They hid these guns in their mechanic shop, in motorcycle parts, and even under the floor of their bar. As they made more money, things got more complicated. They had to work with other organizations, gun dealers, and corrupt officials. This made it hard to trust people, and the risks got higher. Members started to question what they were doing. While some thought it was necessary, others wondered if they had lost sight of why they started the club in the first place. Soon, they got the attention of federal agencies like the ATF and DEA. These agencies started watching them closely, using informants and other ways to gather information on them. But the club members didn't see the danger coming. They started feeling invincible, especially when they got away with their illegal activities. However, they were about to learn a hard lesson. V - Fall As the Wrecked Souls Motorcycle Club got more involved in illegal activities, they started facing problems they didn't see coming. Drugs became common within the club, and people started getting careless and messy. They stopped being as careful about not getting caught. What used to be a close group became messy and divided, weakened by fighting among themselves and drug use. Seeing this, the DEA and ATF decided it was the right time to act. They had been gathering evidence against the club for months through watching them closely, wiretaps, and informants. They planned a big raid, aiming for a night when they knew most club members would be at a party. That night, law enforcement came down hard on them. They showed up in armored vehicles, searched the bar and mechanic shop, and arrested a lot of people. The evidence they found made for a strong case against the main members of the club. Still, a few people managed to avoid getting arrested. These were either folks who had started to question the club's activities or were just lucky enough to not be at the party. Because there wasn't evidence against them, they stayed free for the time being. After the raid, things fell apart for the Wrecked Souls. With most of the leadership arrested and facing trial, the club broke up. The mechanic shop and bar were taken over by the authorities, and the patches that used to stand for freedom and rebellion now just marked them as criminals. For those who avoided arrest, they had to figure out what to do next. With the club gone and many of their friends in jail or on the run, they had to think hard about their choices. Some decided to leave that life behind, change their names, and cut ties with their past. Others gave up the criminal life completely, haunted by what had happened to their friends. Some, would show up elsewhere looking to rekindle the fires of the Wrecked Souls Motorcycle Club. The Present Day Charlie arrives in Los Santos with barely a dime in his pocket. He quickly sorts out the basics: a driving license, a cheap mobile phone, and a bed in a dingy motel. He jumps into trucking, grinding his way through the city's underbelly to make ends meet. It's a fast, tough climb to senior trucking, handling the behemoth rigs through Los Santos' sprawling network. Using the cash scraped together from trucking, Charlie starts his own gig, a small energy drink business. He hustles, peddling his product to gyms and small outlets, gathering enough to buy a truck. This isn’t just any truck – it becomes The Travelling Tavern, a mobile bar cruising the gritty streets of the city. Brick lands in Los Santos soon after, initially treading a similar path in trucking. But unlike Charlie, he's drawn back into the murky world of drugs, a pull Charlie finds himself succumbing to as well. While Brick moonlights in narcotics, he also helps Charlie with his legitimate hustle. The duo's business ventures begin to take off, fuelling their newfound passion for bikes. They tear through the roads of San Andreas, embracing the wild party scene. As they settle into life in San Andreas, Charlie and Brick decide to resurrect their club, The Wrecked Souls. They see potential in the state's vibrant scene – the roaring roads and the raging parties. They start networking, introducing themselves to the established motorcycle clubs, from the notorious Mongols to the smaller crews like the Hessians and Outlaws. Their journey isn’t without its bumps. Tensions flare and simmer down as they weave through the biker underworld, gradually expanding from a duo to a band of like-minded souls. Their bond is forged on the road, in the thrall of parties that rage from dusk till dawn, fuelled by rock music, reckless abandon, and a growing taste for chaos. Morningwood becomes their stomping ground, where they’re often seen causing a ruckus, partying hard, and embracing the brotherhood they're building. When they're not wreaking havoc at home, they're out painting the town red.

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
