Ballas/3.0

ESBpic.png
The East Side Ballas (ESB), or simply the Ballas, are a South Side street gang primarily operating out of Davis, particularly Grove Street. They are one of the strongest South Side gangs and mainly deal in drugs, weapons trafficking, and other criminal activities. 
ESB has grown in size, wealth, and organization since its creation in February 2021.
Ballas prospects are brought in by high-ranking members. Once a prospect has proven themselves, they are beaten and blooded in to ESB with the letter B carved into their chest. Blooded members can be recognized by the purple bandana/flag that they wear.
ESB currently has a total of 21 members: 5 OG members, 10 Blooded members, 6 Prospects.
==Major Events==
==Gang Hierarchy==
===OG===
OGs are the highest-ranking members. They act as the leaders of the set and exercise authority to make decisions for the gang, either in business or in relationships with other groups. They have the right to overrule any decisions or ideas made or suggested by those of a lower rank. 
=== Shotcaller===
Shotcallers are in direct contact with the leaders and relay information to lower-ranked members. They are in charge of the set if an OG is not present.
===Enforcer===
Enforcers are responsible for internally instilling gang code and disciplining those of a lower rank, easing the workload for higher-ups.
===G ===
Gs are blooded members who have proven themselves capable of taking on more responsibility within the set. Blooded members, prospects and hangarounds answer to Gs when no OGs, Shotcallers or Enforcers are present.
===Blooded===
Blooded Members are officially into the gang after proving their loyalty by putting in tons of work for the set. This is the first step towards proving their skills and moving up the hierarchy.
===Prospect===
Prospects are officially part of the gang after being willing to work for the set. They are allowed to wear one purple item of clothing. As Prospect continues to show consistency in their efforts, they will be told to put on more items of purple clothing to show that they have been around for a while.
=== Hangaround===
Hangarounds are people who have approached the gang, offering to put in work. They are usually seen helping out members of the set, completing tasks, getting to know members of the gang and laying the groundwork required to eventually become a Prospect.
== Territory ==
The Ballas control almost the entire community of Davis. The cul-de-sac of Grove Street is a particular hot spot for activity as well as Davis Avenue and Covenant Avenue in the neighborhood.
