Angels/3.0

The Angels is the first female and female-led gang formed in Los Santos on New Year's Day 2020 by Cassie Cupcake, Claire Seducer, Violet van Housen, and Griselda Ambrose. The group has recruited male members since its formation.
Today they have achieved a lot of respect in the city with many groups, new and old, many coming to them for guidance in group affairs. Some groups still look down on them, but they do not know what the Angels do in the shadows, and it is best kept that way.
The Angels currently have a total of 15 full members and 2 associates.
__TOC__
==General Description==
Often viewed as "neutral" in gang relations, the Angels retaliate if you put down, kidnap, or rob any member. They primarily focus on executing jobs together, such as robbing Fleeca Banks and the City Vault. They are known for being loud, having high levels of "SBS", and taking hours setting up creative heist getaways while wearing unique disguises.
They are one of the wealthiest gangs in the city. They consist of many top-level CEOs of numerous businesses across the city, successful business owners, and proficient criminals, with each member having their specializations, such as drug or weapons trafficking, hacking, boosting, street racing, or getaway driving. They are often jacks of all trades, though, and although they do not care what others think of them, they still have high expectations for themselves.
Each member has their separate friends and connections and eccentric ways of having fun together or apart. The one thing they try to pride themselves on is always having each other's back in the cut-throat city of Los Santos.
===Meth Operations===
Once meth tables arrived in the city, the Angels quickly moved into the drug production and distribution game.
Being one of the very few gangs in the city to purchase and maintain a meth lab, they became the first gang in the city to achieve 100% grade meth (with the strain, 187-albatross) and have taught others across the city how to accomplish that feat as well.
By doing so, their gang relations expanded, and on occasion they have struck deals with other gangs to supply meth.
==Origins==
250px|thumb|left
On New Year's Day 2020, "Jessica," who was actually Cassie Cupcake in disguise, met Tupac Shakur at Pillbox and asked him for drugs. Tupac told "Jessica" to follow him into his apartment. When they arrived, Tupac tried to sell her crack, but Cassie realized she did not have the money, so she offered to do any job for him. Tupac accepted and told her to do a "pawn run" for him.
While doing the pawn run with Tupac (because she did not know how to do one), The Families pulled up behind them and kidnapped Cassie. The Families told Tupac that she is, in reality, Cassie Cupcake, and she robbed one of their members of 3 bricks of cocaine. Tupac assured them she was "Jessica," which they believed for some reason.
A few minutes later, they gave "Jessica" a mission to shoot a cop and steal their ID card. If completed, "Jessica" would gain even more of Tupac's trust. Tupac then allowed "Jessica" to leave to start her mission and told her she must do it alone, or it would not count — and to "not rat them out."
After leaving Pillbox, Cassie ran across the street and met Claire Seducer. She jumps into Claire's van and confides that she's in trouble. Cassie attempts to convince Claire to help her, but Claire refuses. Cassie then began screaming, which led to Claire agreeing out of fear. Tupac soon discovered that "Jessica" had roped in Claire and got angry. He met them behind some buildings and pulled a gun on them, trying to deduce if they snitched.
After Cassie and Claire began crying and pleading, Tupac decided against killing them and became more interested in Cassie's idea about them becoming "Tupac's Angels." He gave them a new mission: kidnap a police officer and cut off one of their toes. The girls searched for an officer, but after no luck, they found a random man, held him up at gunpoint, and cut off his toenails (not his toes).
Having "completed" the mission, the girls drove to an ammunition store which is when Cassie then saw a random girl, who ended up being Violet van Housen, in front of the courthouse, and they decide to kidnap her and tell her that she's "a part of this mess now." Unbeknownst to the girls, Tupac followed and watched them the entire time. And having seen enough, he tells them to follow him to the pier.
Once at the pier, Tupac pulls out a gun and tells Cassie and Claire to take Violet out of the trunk of their car. Violet promptly hops out with a gun and tries to shoot Tupac. He reacted quickly and shot down Violet, first, followed by Cassie and then Claire. Tupac fled the scene while the three girls lay in their blood waiting for rescue — and that's when Cassie knew she wanted the three of them to be a crew.
Initially all OG members of the Angels were equal and co-lead. In June 2020, they officially declared Claire as the leader and she selected Violet as her second-in-command. Things were going well until numbers began to dwindle to the point where Claire and Violet were the only two members in the city, often in different time zones.
As a result, many began considering the Angels a "dead gang." But neither Claire nor Violet gave up; eventually, old members returned, and new members came. Now, they are one of the biggest names in the city.
During those early days, Wayne Biggaz and Juan Carlos "Flippy" Hernandez often mentored the Angels on becoming effective and successful criminals.
===Namesakes===
Initially, many names were thrown around on what this new group should call themselves. Cassie suggested "The Baegalz" at first but ultimately the name "SBS Angels" was created on January 8th, 2020, by Cassie, Claire, and Griselda Ambrose outside the courthouse. They did not care who did or did not like them (most did not) as long as they were having fun. Not long after they changed their name to just the "Angels," for two reasons:
#Chang Gang wanted to tax them for using the term "SBS."
#They no longer considered themselves as "SBS" as they once were and they wanted to become a more serious gang in the city.

After the successful vault robbery performed by Claire Seducer, Violet van Housen, Blaine Burke and Alexander Campbell, the group met up together to paint a mural in the Little Seoul skate park where they took their last picture together.
They then decided to part their ways for a while and make the best out of the vault money they stole. Claire, Blaine, Alex and Cassie Cupcake left together to Mexico, Aleksander Sazkaljovich (formerly Bogorov) went back to Russia, while Violet visited Italy. Lexi Law also went to Mexico with most of the members, but had to leave for a while to help her boyfriend Wolfgang Cole.
On the 5th of February most of the members came back to Los Santos and found themselves without any assets to their names. Others joined them shortly. They have decided to rebuild the group from the ground up together, seeking for more legitimate ways to earn money and becoming more business oriented in their actions. However, they have no intentions of leaving their crime life behind completely.

{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed article-table" style="border:1px solid #0C0B1F; color:white; background:#0C0B1F;"	THE INITIATION OF ABBY & CHARLES BROOKS
On Abby’s 2nd day in the city, she was outside of the Alta Street Apartments talking to her crush Simon Fuhny when claire passed by and thought that Abby had a similar voice to herself so, with a scheme up her sleeve, introduced herself. Claire recruited Abby to take her place on a date with Julio Thomas it was then that Abby would meet the rest of the Angels as they all helped in the espionage. As the day continued Abby and Angels would continue to hang out getting Abby to tweet at Mr. K
 calling him old ending with Abby and the Angels getting brown off a bridge. In just one day Abby proved herself a great fit for the Angels, so much so that everyone in the city just presumed she was one, which almost caused a war between the Angels and NBC when Abby attempted to blow up Pilbis Shonley with a car bomb (assisted by the Angels but NBC didn’t know that).
As the days and weeks continued Abby would keep meeting up with the Angels doing Banks and VAR and getting up to general Angel antics. Abby slowly got closer to all of them. She felt thankful that they invited her to do things and loved hanging out with them.
As she was always seen hanging out with the Angels, other people would ask Abby if she had joined the Angels yet and she'd tell them that they haven't told her anything yet and she was too embarrassed to ask them for an invite.
On March 22nd while Claire was getting her car repaired by Flippy at H&O Exports, Vinny Pistone asked Abby if she was in the Angels yet and Abby told him that she wasn't. Vinny decided that he would annoy Claire and tell her that he was inviting Abby to join Chang Gang Queens. He tells Claire that he is going to poach Abby, as she is not a part of any gang. Claire counter-offered, saying that the Angels are much superior and how much Abby loves them. Abby asks Claire if that is an invite and Vinny and Claire go back and forth about CG and Angels. Vinny says the girls in CG are the better looking and Abby, Claire and Oakley together, replied “Have u seen The Angels”. Vinny asks her finally if she is gonna join CG or is actually interested in joining the Angels and Abby danced in agreement with Claire and Oakley. Vinny and Abby then tell Claire that it was a scam all along for Abby to get an invite. Claire tells her she was always invited and thought she wanted more time but Abby said she didn't know about that.
Across the following weeks Claire and Violet would speak to each Angel to see if they were for or against officially offering Abby Angels Associate, and then, on Tuesday, 12th April 2022, Abby was offered a position as an Angels Associate which she accepted.
18th April, During a dinner date between Abby, Claire and Oakley, Claire mentioned in passing if Abby had picked a day for her initiation yet, seeming to suggest they were wanting to move forward with her becoming a full Angel, she chose 22nd April. But when the day came it had to be postponed for various reasons
May 31st, Initiation day.
Abby had been out of the city for a few weeks; when she returned she began farming, sad that she wasn’t a full Angel. This then prompted the Angels to fast-track her initiation process, rather than give her a week to prepare. She was given the remainder of the day to complete the initiation (the first to ever be fast-tracked into the Angels).
The plan started to unfold. Abby wanted to kidnap a cop in a helicopter and fly them up north. She had Oakley choose the outfits, with the request to be scary and to match her iconic pink hair color.
After a lot of panic thinking, she decided against using a helicopter and instead devised a plan to use Charles to lure a cop into an alleyway where they would hold them up. Her intent going into it was to not harm the cop, but to take them to the grape seed torture room and scare the bejesus out of them.
With the plan set out, Abby, Claire, Alex and Charles go to an alleyway outside the mrpd and Oakley, Lexi and Violet head to grapeseed. With everyone set up, Abby ties a note on Charles and sends him into mrpd to try and attract a cop. A couple minutes later, Charles returns to them, followed by Rocko Columbo, Claire swiftly holds him up and puts him in cuffs and shoves him in the car. Alex then drives them to the grapeseed torture room, not signing him off duty. Claire carries Columbo to the torture room for Abby to rob him. She takes his taser as she was giving her final monologue, to cut him free with no harm. The cops arrived to save Columbo. Columbo aware that if the cops breach he will most likely be shot attempt to call the cops off (saying he was having an orgy) the cops were no convinced and refused to leave so the Angels attempted to run after valiantly breaking cuffs, multiple cops, Claire, Oakley and Abby, in a bid to save them Alex, Violet and Lexi started shooting. Alex managed to take down two cops before being put down. Making her the second to fail her initiation. Or did she? In fact, Abby passed just like every other Angel when she agreed to do the initiation.
As the Angels began getting sent up to prison they began mocking Abby, telling her that she was going to die permanently because she had failed her initiation (hiding the fact that she had in fact passed) while Claire was waiting for all the Angles to be sent up to break the news to Abby that she was now officially an Angel, Abby began running from around prison panicking, she went into visitation where she saw Victor and Charles waiting for her Victor attempted to help Abby come to terms with her impending death but it didn't help at all, she ran away and spoke to a lifer who gave her Special K so she could die on a high, after she took it she saw Charles running towards her, she thought she was hallucinating but Charles had actually dug his way into the prison the comfort her. Eventually all the Angels were processed and sent to Prison, so they took Abby to the visitation room to Victor could be there, and broke the news that Abby (and Charles) were now Angels! Abby gave her thank you speech and the she and Claire left prison with Victor and Charles and went bowling while they waited for everyone else to get out of prison, during the time Abby repeated expressed how excited she was get her tattoo and after some time everyone was released from prison and went to the tattoo parlor to make Abbys position in the Angels official, with Claire giving Abby her first ever tattoo. Her Angel wings.	
2023 Events	
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed article-table" style="border:1px solid #0C0B1F; color:white; background:#0C0B1F;"	ANGELS CIVIL WAR
On 8th, January 2023. Alex and Victor were caught during a meth run after their car caught on fire and blew up however before the car blew up Alex exclaimed "I have a bomb" blowing up Baas and Knight's car prompting Knight to want to charge Alex for criminal use of an explosive, but instead released Alex in order to further investigate all the Angels and stick them with worse charges.
The next day, Knight called Abby demanding a divorce as he doesn't want to be associated with a bunch of terrorists. Abby told Claire and together they decided they should kidnap and torture him, and show him a terrorist and form the terrorist organization 'Payback' . So Abby called a family meeting to discuss the plan with the rest of the gang.
Nobody went to the meeting.
Abby then complained to Claire that nobody went to the meeting she called, to which Claire stated that she didn't tell anyone what the meeting was about and that it's different when she or Violet call a meeting because they are the leaders and therefore, the respect is there where it's not with her. Abby took that personally and ran away. Claire called Abby back so that she could apologize but Abby refused to come back; they had a petty off over the radio for 10 minutes until Claire decided that she was respected as a leader in the gang and resigned, leaving the Angels.
Claire then quickly joined, and somehow became the leader of, Streetside. Meanwhile, the remaining Angels appointed Victor as their temporary leader and in a defensive maneuver Liam drained the gang's bank account. In Victor's first act as leader, he called a meeting.
Everyone went to the meeting. Even Hydra Gang.
Abby said what she wanted to say in her meeting; everyone glossed over it and started planning to steal Claire's X-coin. They set out on a hunting party; little did they know Claire's Streetside were also beginning their hunt as they drove a convoy of mopeds towards Casa the Angels had already left Casa, so Claire's Streetside trashed Casa, teepeeing everywhere and smashed all the cars and statues, the Angels hunting party gave up fairly quickly and to Oakley's suggestion they dispanded the Angels and joined CG (who were also seeing a change of leadership with Vinny Pistone being leader for the day) they tasked them with throwing a party in the Casa tennis court, which was still tagged with a CG spray, as a welcome Ramee El-Rahman sent $500K to Abby to disburse between the new CG members.
Claire got a call informing her that Flippy was going into ICU so she hopped out of the streetside car and told them she was leaving then gang and tweeted out "F**K STREETSIDE" then visited Flippy. Meanwhile, the Angels were at Maldini's promoting their party at the tennis court, they invite Nunu El Nene who eagerly shows them her tennis outfit, ready for the party, they tell her to bring everyone she knows. They leave to go to a bank and give everyone their cut of Ramme's money. Oakley takes his cut and tells them he's going to sleep and leaves, Claire then immediately gets a call from Oakley telling her he's flopping to her side, and that he wants to meet up.
Claire picks up Oakley from the corner of the street, on her motorbike. He fills her in on the events of the past 2 hours and that they are still on the same radio. Claire gets back on the radio and hears them setting up the party, so she and Oakley go and spy and see that nobody turned up to the party. Claire drives away and calls Penny and offers her an out, a home with Claire once again, driving to the gates of Casa to pick Penny up. Penny was torn, she didn't know what to do, and before she could make a decision Abby and Xavier started shooting Claire's tires, not letting this slide, Claire fired one bullet directly into Xavier's head. Victor then called Claire, and as the new leader, he had to try and extend an olive branch. Claire refused, and so Victor decided that Claire's violence would in turn be returned with violence. Claire made and announcement on the radio,
"Attention all sh*tass f***ing gang, this is my only announcement. For this one day you can denounce yourself from whatever the f**k that is, and come join me with my gang or suffer the consequences like Xavier did, you know my number and I'll expect your calls"
The remaining Angels were however, on a war path they would not submit to Claire and branded Oakley, fake. Not all Angels however. Penny, was still conflicted; she didn't want to leave the Angels, but she didn't want to lose Claire and Oakley. Penny called Claire asking or a truce, Claire told her, that if they really want to have a truce then they can meet her and OG, OG meeting spot, the docks.
Claire and Oakley arrive at the meeting spot first and get their car stuck in a ditch; they fail to get it out before the others arrive; they meet upstairs, where discussions begin. Claire gave the Angels a history lesson on where they were standing. On the day the Angels almost died.
The day Erin Cox lost her wings. The first Angel to ever lose their wings and the person that took wings was her best friend, Violet and this is the reason Violet is 2nd in command, because in that moment Claire made her do something she'd never want to do in her life, she made her blood out her best friend, her sister, because Violet respected Claire's authority, this the respect the Angels was built on and now the new Angels the ones that stand before her, that revolted against her. They have it easy, everything handed to them, in a family that has already been built up through hardship, through persistence, through family, and through respect. Now all Claire sees is a bunch of people with no respect for where they came from, that they should all be ashamed of themselves.
This is a speech ignored by Abby, as she begins talking about the respect she wasn't given when she called a meeting earlier that day. Claire told her that she wanted to apologize, but Abby didn't show her the respect as the leader and that she shouldn't need to say OG's order to have her gangs respect. Beyond this Claire notes that Violet and Alex have told her that they don't think they are given any respect from the rest of the gang for there position in the gang, and they they should all once again feel ashamed for the way they treat each other, they dont care for eachother they just care about their bank accounts and what Claire can hand to them. Abby speaks up, she agreed that they are spoiled, but Penny shouldn't be a part of that because she works hard and has earned everything she has. The discussions then progressively become healthier as they become more understanding of one and others views, and they apologize.
Eventually they seemed to once again be on good terms, but it didn't seem like Claire was ready to return as the leader, not yet. Victor gave a speech, that only Claire could lead the Angels; nobody else could do it; that without Claire the Angels would fall apart; the other Angels fell to their knees as they expressed their agreement with Victor. They pledged their loyalty to each other; they are the Angels, but they still don't have a leader.
Vinny calls Claire, he too had, had a rough day, not having any respect from CG as leader for the day, so he wanted to give Claire vault codes in spite. Claire saw this as an opportunity to see how then Angels band together now, if they succeed, Claire becomes leader again; if they fail she'll leave the gang for good.... Vinny arrived and told her that he can't give her the codes because CG will kill her so instead they trauma dump their days to each other. This made Claire start considering re-joining and then after talking to Zoey and Mia about Zoey leaving VFT and hearing them forgive each other, Claire decided that she couldn't abandon her family and re-joined the gang.
