Sandy Shores (Community)

socrates · April 18, 2022

Sandy Shores is a small town in Los Santos county, out in the Grand Senora Desert. Just south of Grapeseed, and on the coastline of the Alamo Sea it boasts incredible views of Mount Chilliad. Formerly populated by over 3000 people, the expansion of Los Santos over the years has caused this population to be decimated. While some may look at Sandy Shores as a meth heads wet dream, with the run down trailers, absolutely decimated motel and the obvious lack of any real form of trash collection, this town is still the home to some of the most unique people in the entire county. Some may see the gathering of outlaw bikers in Mongols patches, or the odd redneck who thinks he's still on his way to Woodstock as a problem, but the permanent residents of the town see past this and see their home, or in most cases their trailer. The unique landscape of the town allows those who decide to make their beds in between the disgusting blackened water and the unforgiving sand storms the opportunity to keep themselves enclosed - to allow themselves to be more comfortable with their neighbours and to regain the old community feel that technology has taken away from the younger generations. This is the kind of freedom that people out there still want, being able to ask your neighbour for a cup of sugar or an almost clean spoon without the fear of a KG-9 in their face before they have to hand over their phone and all their belongings.

It's true that not everyone in Sandy is perfect, and there's some people who are downright criminals, but through years of going through the same hardships a bond has been created which allows the average resident to overlook the stolen motorcycle in someone's garage, or the occasional drug deal outside the barber shop. They prefer to see the best side of their neighbours and understand that sometimes people have to do things they never would to keep a roof over their head, or to make sure their kids aren't missing out on a meal. While the community is not what many would call criminal, they are nothing but understanding and when possible, would rather keep the Sheriff's out of their business and go back to maintaining the status quo of living together in harmony.

OOC Information

This group is by no means a typical faction, and while you have seen multiple attempts to push forward communities like this on the server, this attempt is being led by @SOCRATES, who ran the final iteration of Carson on the old SA:MP server, @Phased, who played an integral part in many of the illegal groups within Carson back then, @Hollywood Boulevard, who has a wealth of experience playing civilian characters and law enforcement officers, and can play a huge part in keeping things organized and logical, and @Inked who understands the landscape of county roleplay on this server better than most from his character research, characters on the server and history with roleplaying off the grid characters on the old SA:MP server.

This group has no restrictions about who can join, and we accept characters from all walks of life. There are unlimited possibilities for roleplaying in this group. The only characters who will not be allowed to join are people who want to roleplay Cletus-level rednecks with no idea how rednecks actually act in 2022 and want to just get some laughs. We are open to helping people develop their ideas to what they want to roleplay, and help if something feels off.

If you are interested in joining, our discord link is below. We will not turn anyone down who actually wants to roleplay a proper character in Sandy Shores - and by no means are we the only ones roleplaying there, but we want to build a community style group to help keep activity up in the area without forcing everyone into one or two concepts.
