The Bloods

The Bloods are a faction in ATF 5 and 6, founded in 2096 by Raymond Washington and Curtis "Bom Bom" Clyde. It was created by an anonymous user. Interesingly, there are two versions of the faction.

## First Version

The Bloods are a gang in Eastern & Downtown L.A. in ATF 4, ITS 4, 5, & 7.
Early Formings
In 1971, when the nukes dropped in L.A., the entirety of Roland High School was evacuated into the basement area. The police officers established to the building tried to calm the students, mainly with success, this being a few minutes after the bombs dropped. Outside was large amounts of gamma radiation & radiation poisoning, making it hard for people to scavenge for supplies. That night, near 10 PM, a Mutant attack happened, & 6 students snuck out, 2 being minor troublemakers Raymond Washington & George "Bom Bom" Smith. The Roof & the 3rd floor were taken out by the nuke, the 2nd Floor very slowly beginning to cave in. The fellow students pulled up a few chairs in one of the classrooms in the 2nd Floor, beginning to plan their gang known as The Bloods. They scavenged the counselors office, grabbing shirts & weapons the school caught & were going to give to the students parents before the bombs dropped.

### The Bloods & Crips First Conflict

The Bloods had conflict with another gang who were going to name themselves The Crips. Since they both did not have enough ammunition to go into a fire fight, they formed a treaty, The Bloods getting the 2nd Floor, The Crips getting the first. The 2nd Floor contained extra activities, the teachers lounge, at least 15 classrooms and a few restrooms as well as a janitors closet. The Crips had the Gym, the cafeteria, a security room the police & the security workers used, nearly 15 classrooms, & a few restrooms. The Bloods realized they did not have enough food to last them like The Crips, so they rationed food & other resources quite often. The Bloods built a road block of desks & chairs on the stairs on the South & North sides, in case The Crips tried to do a attack or hostile take over. Raymond & Bom Bom were the only ones who knew how to use a fire arm, so the 5 others had to use melee weaponry & their own fists. They could not scavenge outside, due to radiation & gamma poisoning, also due to not many things being nearby except a tool shed.
In late 1972, The Bloods were starving more & more every day, so they decided to start forming a plan to rob The Crips cafeteria on the first floor, to survive longer. They knocked down their own barricades in the South, & sneaked into the cafeteria with no casualties. They began to steal supply, when a Crip was walking down the hallway & heard noises from the cafeteria. Bom Bom fired at the gang member, causing them to run up with what ever they could carry & to run.

## Second Version

### Lore (2096-2100)

The Bloods were first formed in New Atlanta during the Atlanta Crisis in 2096 first as a prison gang of 3 people. They recruited a couple of prisoners to join them and often stole milk cartons from other prisoners. They also used the plastic silverware and their fists as weapons to survive in the holding cells. Due to the conflict going on in New Atlanta, they were often moved to different stations near Atlanta or in the country side of Georgia. Due to them getting in constant conflict with other inmates, their jail sentences were often extended to a few months more than the original. A year later, while chaos was erupting in a station, a civilian riot broke out, which eventually freed the inmates and caused them to raid the stations Armory. They took the weapons they looted and found, then took the officers and lawyers in the building forcefully hostage. They recruited the inmates and a few civilians, boarded up the front and back doors, and thus became the first Blood base in Georgia and the first forces of the Bloods. They started to send out a squad of 3 or 4 people to raid and scavenge across the nearby land, sending them out with weaponry and a Marshal SUV parked at the station. They often came back with loot they had from bodies, small amounts of ammo, and a few vegetables and fruit, being nearby farm land where crops grew well. They started to become well known for their crime out in the country side, which brought the attention of the CDF in New Atlanta. The CDF started to organize a squad of armed men to take back the station and put the men who took it back in prison. Meanwhile, the Bloods had upped defenses at the station, picked the armory completely clean of resources, and put the hostages they had in the 3 holding cells. They were required to feed them to get info and such on the CDF and PRT, and the other half of food went to the men guarding the station. They also started to take out people passing through, getting small money amounts and getting vehicles and fuel from the people they murdered and looted. 3 days later, the attack commenced, being a failure, and forcing the remains of the squad, except 1 taken hostage, to flee into the nearby fields and forests of the country side. The Bloods won the fight, but suffered 2 men getting shot in the side and the arm, and some equipment being used for the fight. They learned from the CDF Driver they took hostage that in a week, a prison convoy was going through a few miles East of them, holding up to 14 prisoners. Raymond started to make plans to attack this convoy with his men, and had squads start to go more out into the land to scavenge. Raymond found out from the squad that a small town was ahead called Wingstone was up ahead, and had a population of at least 400 people, maybe more. He took a truck from a man they murdered to see for himself, and then started to send squads of people to scout around the town to learn how to do crime there. They started to tie rags across their mouth and patrolled around town, so no one would know what they looked like and report them to the authorities. In 2098, they decided to start to do minor muggings around the town in order to get supplies and some reputation in town. They gathered small amounts of money and some basic ammo packs, and started to pile it up back at the stations basement. In 2098, they started to notice their rivals, The Crips, begin to move in, forcing Raymond to decide to shoot them on sight. They also began to hear about the PRT and MEB moving into states nearby, so Raymond and Bom Bom began to plan a raid a convoy that they heard was coming their way. The convoy started to slowly drive down the road near the end of the week, so Raymond had his men be on guard more to catch the convoy raid. When the convoy arrived, they started to open fire on each other, wounding a few men on either side of the raid. This fight went on for 20 minutes, until The Bloods won against the 8 officers, then raided the back of the convoy truck. 2 days later, at 2 AM, a APC from the MEB began to move towards the station, and then opened fire, killing 13 of the Bloods. The others took some weaponry and ran off, splitting into groups of 4. In 2099, no word of them was heard of them for a near 2 years, forcing the farmers across the land to be free from their terror on the country side.

2100s

In 2101, now being in Eastern Alabama, the surviving members of The Bloods decided to try to bring it back together in Alabama.
