GTA:Groups
Apart from the 'core' factions of Police, NHS and The Lost MC... We have two other types of whitelisted roles: Player-proposed groups and Player-ran turf gangs.
Player Proposed Groups
General Information
What are these other whitelisted groups?
To promote group and business based roleplay, the GTA development team are trying out a new idea based on feedback from the community. Whilst the server remains non whitelisted we are looking for strong groups and roleplay based jobs, groups and businesses to promote that high quality roleplay.
This idea is aimed at those groups who want to be official in the eyes of the city, whether this is a 3 man solicitor group with their own uniform and billboards or a multi-million pound recording studio, anything will be considered by the City Council. Ideally we are looking to keep this to legal entities, rather than illegal drug cartels and illegal weapon dealers. Whilst we have a place for those illegal groups in the city, they wouldn't be recognised by the City Council
What is required and what support can I get?
A proposal, a plan, a high quality document or idea which outlines the clear goals of the group, advantages and disadvantages for the city. Any possible issues that may arise and how you would overcome them without the City Council needing to step in. Access what do you want from the development team? Do you want uniforms implemented, do you want specialist group only vehicles, load-outs, shops? Tell us all the details, convince the City Council that this is something the city needs and the city will benefit from.
You'll receive support from members of the City Council and the contact with the Chairperson. You'll also have development team support, assets and time. This is something we will look at on a case by case basis - based on your proposal.
How do I go about proposing a group?
Get together with some like-minded people, ask opinions, do some market research in character etc. Write up your plans, proposals and requirements and submit them via the forums to Stealthee. From here, depending on the affect it will have on the city, it will be taken to a vote by the City Council or declined on principal. Everything is communicated to you, and you are kept in the loop for reasoning, counter proposals etc.

The Sinclair Trust
The Sinclair Trust was founded thirty seven years ago by Rose and Stephen Sinclair, tycoons of the media world and the entire industry. Unfortunately a freak accident while hiking in the Sahara saw the both of them struck down in their prime by a tortoise, that was in fact dropped by an eagle, after it had mistaken Stephens bald head as a rock suitable for breaking the reptiles outer shell. Now the sole heir to the Sinclair fortune and various industries, Nathaniel Sinclair and by extension, his wife Eva, have returned to the city to expand and evolve on the once great and thriving empire, to create fun and enterprising opportunities for the residents of Los Santos.
The Sinclair's proudly sponsor other groups such as Weasel News and Richards Majestic, but also events like Los Santos Got Talent. Since Nate & Eva are both heavily involved in real estate, savings, loan associations and surveillance plenty more is still to come.

Turf Gangs
More information on these new groups will be coming shortly. Find out more or reach out to them within roleplay
Grove Street
Grove street also identified as ‘Families’ Are now back to residing in their home territory, Grove street. Reclaiming their street was a victory in itself amidst their long and bitter feud with the Ballas. Although their numbers considered to be dwindling after recent events where several members were gunned down by Ballas and Vagos alike, Grove Street, identified by their green gang colours, are often seen standing around their turf involving themselves in illicit activities, they also like to park up in their green low-riders kitted out in hydraulics and are trying to find ways to get closer to the cartel. Since they are now back in their home turf, they find themselves precariously sandwiched between The Ballas new turf, and now their new enemies, The Vagos. After several Vagos members where slaughtered during the large scale gang-war between Grove and the Ballas. They have yet to find a solution to settle their differences with the yellow clad Mexicans who live next door.
Ballas
The Ballas, most commonly known for their active feud with Grove Street members, are now residing in their new turf in Strawberry/Innocence blvd. Albeit a sore loss since losing their control of Grove street Av, they are happily operating in and out of their new properties and gang house, where they spend a lot of time ‘baking’ and mixing various auto-flowering cannabis strains to find that perfect high. Since being turfed out of Grove street post war, Identified by their purple colours, The Ballas have become amicable with The Vagos, finding mutual ground with how Grove dealt with recent events, labelling them as ‘gun-ho’ and power hungry killing whoever gets in the way regardless of alliance. Although they may come across high as kites while flashing their latest chains and cars, The Ballas are notoriously ruthless, it is rumoured they allowed Grove street to retake their cul-de-sac just so they know just where their enemy will always be. The Ballas have also recently found neutral ground with The Vagos since discovering The Azetcas have been heavily involved in arms dealing after stealing from the cartel, taking custom away from the gangs residing in the south side of the city.
Vagos
Despite their street thug appearance, The Vagos are in fact closely tied with the cartel and are heavily involved in drug trafficking. They are a multinational group, with most of them being made up of illegally residing Mexicans. The Vagos have a long running feud with The Aztecas, after forcing them out of the city with their tail between their legs for underground arms deals in the south side. Identified by their yellow clothing, and calling themselves ‘The Yellow Bandits’ a large portion of the original Vagos members are now incarcerated, but their drug ring is still being run from prison. Once mutual with Grove street they now find themselves a leader down after he was shot and killed by Grove, but since their hierarchy is flat but highly competitive, there is always someone ready to take over the leadership, leaving us all who guessing, who’s it gonna’ be
Aztecas
The Aztecas, rumoured to have been around stretching as far back at the 1940’s, have a very strict and aged hierarchy. Like the Vagos, they are mostly made up of Mexican decent. Identified by their vibrant turquoise gang colours, they are actively at war with The Vagos, by whom they have been exiled from the city, out smarted and out-gunned by their younger more agile enemy they have now settled in at Sandy Shores, leaderless and squatting in abandoned buildings, they have set down roots, infiltrating the trade routes of the Senora Desert to disrupt the active trading of the cartel and thus interfering with the flow of arms and drugs being distributed into Los Santos. It is here they found themselves a new mutual acquaintance within the Marabunta Grande, but how long can this alliance last? And will it last under new leadership?
Marabunta Grande
The Marabunta Grande have been quietly linked with the cartel for several years. Being the cartels puppets along the Senora Desert trade route, they are mostly made up of crazy blood hungry Salvadorans who ask questions later. Not shy of torturing and slaughtering those who get in the way of their business they have now allied with The Aztecas, but rumour has it, they prefer to keep their enemies close. After all two gangs after the same bounty while both trying to please the cartel, can’t stay allied forever. Marabunta are currently at war with the Triads, the two gangs came head to head over a turf war, Marabunta Grande being extremely territorial kidnapped the leader of the Triads and it’s rumoured they tortured him for around two weeks before his unrecognisable body was left with a bow on the doorstep of The Triads turf near Vespucci Beach. The Marabunta Grande identified by their blue colours, like to refer to themselves as ‘wolves’ stalking and often playing with their prey. They are often covered in tattoos from the neck up, forever masking their identity. Masters at getting away with murder, they have some long standing members, who have yet to pay for their despicable and often sickening crimes.
Triads
The Triads 三合会 are Chinese nationals, currently residing in the China town district of Los Santos near Vespucci Beach. They regard themselves as an extremely close family although not all of them are blood-related. They abide by a strict moral code that they have passed down through generations since the original members came from the Chinese Crime Syndicate. They prefer to spend their time training in hand to hand combat, and creating their own drugs of choice to harness a bountiful living at the expense of others. Although now leaderless after the recent kidnapping by Marabunta Grande, the Triads are actively at war with them. Their bold and brash red gang colours emblazoned with a Chinese dragon are a little distraction while they bide their time. Replenishing their ranks and they are out for blood, but undoubtedly, will do it with the finesse and planning you would expect from none other than these Chinese assassins.
