Background story of the gang (minimum of 1,500 words):

Raines family weren’t the richest of families and were always very unfortunate with their lives. Because their dad being most wanted in the United Kingdom, due to being in the Tottenham Mandems and causing riots, dealing drugs and stabbing people he fled to the USA in San Andreas, Los Santos in the 1980’s hoping to start a clean sheet with his girlfriend.

Because he was hoping to make the American dream he was constantly spending their little money they ran away with. This caused him going back to old habits, buying drugs and flogging them off for more money, although this was making money it wasn’t sustainable for him and his girlfriend, especially when she is pregnant.

So a pregnant girlfriend, which he doesn’t know about and has no money it wasn’t looking good. The moment he found out about her being pregnant, he lost it, he became extremely violent and aggressive and was harming his girlfriend. After a few days he realised he could no longer cope with his life, this meant he left his girlfriend and fled to Chicago on his own.

7 months later...

The first child was born, Memphis Raines his name was. His mother loved him to pieces as she had no one else to love; she was a lonely person... So lonely in fact she became a bit reckless and started to sleep around with people and before she knew it a few STI’s later she had 2 other kids, Kip Raines and Max Raines.

This was the regeneration of the Raines family, 3 brothers willing to take whatever came on to them next!

16 years later...

All 3 of the brothers are now mature and learning the life of the streets and how the run, which they kinda became specialists in just like their dad. Their mum became so stressed out about her 3 boys she had to leave as she didn’t want to be the one responsible for their actions.

So their luck is beginning to run out, their mum and dad have run out on them, they only know how to run the streets and how to deal just like their dad. Not going to lie but they did have it rough for a good few years until Max made the breakthrough of joining the government and working his way up the ranks to State Treasure which helped him and his bro’s out for money, being corrupt obviously that’s just the Raines way. It’s a genetic thing.

3 blood brothers trying to just live life to the max with the money they steal from the government safe. They met a lad in a Casino in Las Venturas, called Andy who became very friendly with them and just started buying drinks for them. They then transferred cell numbers and kept in contact for a few days and eventually they kept meeting up with each other as friends. They became so friendly Andy just became a half-brother to them and treat him like he is real blood family.

After Andy settled in to their crazy life style in Los Santos he proposed an idea, why not create an crime organisation which the cops would be unable to detect if done correctly. They were uncertain of his bold idea until he explained more and showed them plans of how it could be done. They took an interest.

Why you should be given a gang: I’m a well known player and hopefully for the right reasons! I love to RolePlay and I consider myself a nice guy. The Raines Family has been around a long time in the server and we are now looking to make it official and make something good out of it. Yes some of us are retired admins but I think this is strength as we know the rules very well and will enforce them to their max! Also being retired has meant we have been able to get our name out there a whole lot more as we have more time on our hands.

Have you fully read the rules and regulations of gangs?: Definately!
