**"Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes"**

Oni is a gang that was established in November 2022. They are located in the area of Bay City Ave and Playa Vista, with the Von Crastenburg being the central location. Oni can often be seen riding sport bikes or high end luxurious vehicles. They are typically identified in grey and black clothing, repping the signature Oni bandana.

## Backstory

Our backstory starts with the four Maze siblings; Declan, Esteban, Casey and Jayden. The siblings prided themselves on the way they conducted themselves and the morals they hold. These morals include loyalty and respect. Loyalty, like in every family, is important to the Maze family. They need to know they have each other's backs 100% no matter the circumstances. They pride themselves on the ability to remain loyal even in hard times. Respect is another big one for the family. Respect is something that doesn’t come easy but the Maze family firmly believes in giving everyone respect until there is a reason for respect to be taken away. No matter where they went and who they encountered along the way, they always kept these morals.

For the last several years, the siblings moved from city to city, organization to organization. They were looking for a place to call home permanently. After some time, the siblings came to the conclusion that they were never going to find another established organization that had the same morals as them and could stick true to those morals and therefore they would need to start from the bottom and create something of their own. Each organization they had gone through, they had also found like minded individuals who began to also travel with them. These individuals were from all walks of life but they had one thing in common. They were misfits and outcasts from wherever they had come from. Staying with the Maze family provided them a home of their own that they fit into.

Through their travels, the now small group had met a man by the name of Phil Long. He had a mechanic shop that was having some troubles with local gangs and was left only protected by Phil himself. The four Maze siblings offered their help, along with the other individuals they had acquired, to Phil and became security for his mechanic shop. While working security, they continued to pick up individuals that held the same ideals. Eventually this group of individuals became a force to be reckoned with.

Still unsure if they should establish themselves as an actual organization, they had gotten into quite the ordeal with a local gang who wanted to take control of the mechanic shop. Phil knew this gang was one that wasn’t going to be easy to fend off and warned Declan and the security team that it was going to be a hard fought battle and he understood if they couldn’t protect him anymore. However, during the attempt at taking over the shop, Declan and his crew were able to defend the mechanic shop successfully. After a long drawn out battle, the other gang surrendered and called it quits. From Phil's perspective, Declan and his crew dealt with the situation in such a ferocious and organized way that he began to call them “The Oni”. The reason for calling them such, was after the Japanese folk-lore of the Oni demon. They were chaotic and protective in nature. Phil went on to explain that although “The Oni” is seen as a wicked, evil and chaotic demon, they were also known as demons who were extremely protective of those they claimed as their own. Phil praised Declan and his crew for the work they had done and gave them four masks that resembled the Oni demon.

That night, the four Maze siblings sat down and spoke about their travels and the people and things they have encountered. Eventually they came to the conclusion that it was time to take their crew of misfits and their family and create an organization built on the foundations. The following day, Declan approached their crew and spoke to them about what was going to happen going forward.

That day Oni was officially born. They would be known as a gang built around respect and loyalty. Where every member, although once a misfit or underdog, now mattered and had a voice and more importantly had a family. They would pride themselves on being an organization that didn’t seek trouble, that didn’t start conflict and always held respect for everyone until respect was no longer warranted. Although they wouldn’t be the first ones to throw punches, they would make sure to be the last. They would hold true to a wicked and chaotic nature when needed but more so a protective nature.

Over time, the mechanic shop and the city in which they were located would no longer benefit Oni as an organization. It was time to move to greener pastures and expand not only personal avenues but expand for the benefit of the gang. Spreading out and traveling away from one another for a few months, Oni searched for a new place to stay. During their travels, San Andreas and Los Santos came up in multiple conversations. Declan and Esteban headed out after deliberating. Arriving in Los Santos, the two brothers scouted out and made some small connections. After reaching out and bringing the rest of the crew into the city, they made a group decision that the city of Los Santos was going to become their new home.

Laying low for the first two months as they established a footing, Oni began to make a name for themselves and eventually were considered an Official Gang in Los Santos.
