Bobby and Donavin were scared, they had 5 guns pointed at them, they both made a run for it Bobby was shot in the arm and Donavin shot in the leg but they kept on running. They ran back to where Rakeem was and told him that it was a setup. Rakeem quickly took the bullet’s out of their bodys and wrapped them up in bandages, for all Rakeem knew he and his friends were screwed. Rakeem was getting his haircut at a barbershop in East Harlem that's when he met up with Bumpy Johnson. Bumpy had a talk with Rakeem in his office when Rakeem’s hair was being cut, Bumpy said that he knew what happened a few days ago when his friends were shot at, Bumpy offered jobs to him and his friends,Rakeem accepted. Rakeem was working with Bumpy until 1968 when Bumpy suffered a heart problem and Died. Rakeem and his friends had a good amount of cash and they mashed them all together to buy a run down shop. Rakeem and his buddys decided to have code names because he wanted to go into a life of crime.

Madison Ave Crew: Donavin Green was born in East Harlem in 1944. His mother was named Nancy Millers and his father named Willy Green. Donavin was born out of wedlock with his father that kept him and his mother that left. Donavin’s father was a wealthy man; he had multiple Businesses and shops, but the only problem that came with that was Gangsters and Greasers. The Italian Gangsters would come to his shop and wreck it if he did not pay up weekly, and the greasers would rob it and wreck it, Willy had to pay for protection by some Black gangsters. As 9 years went by, Willy's shops were being shot at and burned down because of his association with the Black Mob. While Willy was in his shop there was an all out war between the Italians, greasers, and Black mob. Willy died as a result he was shot 3 times in the head and shot with a shogun twice in the gut. Donavin had to go into a foster home with new parents, his patients did not treat him right they would beat him until the skin would rip and peel off. When Donavin turned 18 he killed both of his foster parents with a meat cleaver then he chopped them up into pieces and placed each limb into trash cans around East Harlem. Donavin told Rakeem and Bobby what he did and that's when they knew that Donavin was going to be a loyal and trustworthy friend. Donovan found out how to make Blue Magic Heroin then sold the pack for 5k. Donavin was good at dealing so he became the dealer of the family because he was good at what he did. When he made the crew Madison Ave Crew he got some of his friends to join with him. Donavin was the Dealer of the family. Hatitan Slit: Bobby Jacks was born in Haiti in 1944. His mom’s name was Cassandra Jacks and his Fathers name was Bell Jacks.Life in Haiti was bad, there was a lot of voodoo and he was led into it unwillingly by some dread headed Rastafarieans. In 1954 They told Bobby if he didn't join his mom would die, Bobby did not believe that so he went on his way a week later his mom died. The doctor did not know what she died from then it hit Bobby. Bobby moved to Harlem Nyc in the same year because of his mothers death he and his father needed to leave Haiti quickly. Bobby met up with two other guys Rakeem and Donavin, they became good friends and years after they ran a Mob together. When Bobby made the crew Hatitian Slit he found other Haitians and gathered them up to work with him. Bobby made sure that these men were trustworthy. Ever since Bobby's mom died. He has always been scared of rastas and voodoo people and never messed with them or went near them. Bobby did not like Jamaicans because of it nor did he like rastas because he believes that the Jamcians/Rastas killed his mother.Bobby was good at getting members he would get about 3 a day, but the thing that came with that is that Bobby couldn't tell if the person he was Recruiting was a cop or not. With that being said Bobby would come to Rakeem to give the men a little test. Bobby is good at managing businesses like restaurants and gun shops, Bobby hires people to bartend and be waiters or be a gun seller and guard. Bobby was the Recruiter of the family. RE: East Harlem Connection Faction Application - Mio Honda - 05-19-2021 +1 detailed backstory, Non mingy sounding hopefully will give actuall black rp chars something to do that is not just rob everyone RE: East Harlem Connection Faction Application - Baldrick - 05-19-2021 +1 Good Backstory, and it would be good to have a black faction RE: East Harlem Connection Faction Application - Jerry Hussel - 05-19-2021 +1 Very detailed background story also met the leader a few times he seems to be able to run this, also would be good to see a black mob. RE: East Harlem Connection Faction Application - [DV-N] Lovsos - 05-19-2021 +1 Really cool backstory and concept of the faction. Seems interesting. RE: East Harlem Connection Faction Application - Guitar Guy - 05-19-2021 +1 seems interesting and a good backstory RE: East Harlem Connection Faction Application - The Gent - 05-20-2021 +1 Don't usually go out of my way to vouch for a faction leader if I have not already met them in the past in roleplay... but.. I do appreciate the amount of effort put into the backstory and planning of this faction application. This is also a lot different compared to what most people try to do. (ex. Italian Family, Street Gang, or another common nationality) So long as the faction can distinguish itself as a true faction and not just a group of minges/muggers, I would love to see this added into the server to give some variety and an option for African-American and Haitian players that isn't just another street gang.
