Seaside

Seaside is an organized criminal syndicate operating out of Del Perro and a penthouse in Vinewood.

Its members have included former high-ranking gang members, prominent public figures, and wanted terrorists. The group is active in both legal business and high-level crime such as heists and weapons trafficking. Seaside prides itself on the respectability afforded to its members due to their network of connections and wealth of experience under their collective umbrella.

Power Structure and Influence
Seaside is led by the 'Trident' - Benji Ramos and  Karl Johnny Black  - and a Council made up of long-time and trusted members.

Originally, Benji did not want Seaside to have a leader or a clear power structure. But the rest of the group were used to taking orders from him, so they treated Benji as the de-facto leader. This leadership was later made official with two additional leader positions.

The Council (formerly known as the Core Family) acts as a system for group making decisions. This stemmed from Benji’s trust of the founding members that were a part of the Vagos with him rather than associates brought into Seaside later. This act followed a series of back to back wars, pointing to the benefits of a clear distinction between vital voting members and adding weight to what it meant to be a Core/Full member.

Family Rules
Seaside has a number of spoken and unspoken rules in regard to hierarchy and decision making, including:
 * No shooting family.
 * New hangarounds are to be voted in by a majority vote. Full member status require a unanimous vote.
 * Members must be an "8 out of 10" on the aggression scale.
 * If two members in a relationship break up, it cannot affect the cohesion of the group. The situation must be dealt with as a private matter.
 * Members must put $10k into the family fund every Monday (exceptions exist based on gang asset fee contributions).
 * If people decide to jump off the ship, members are not going to jump off and save them (referring to those considering leaving the group)
 * Treat members who still want to stay on the boat with the utmost respect, with utmost fairness they can, and to treat them like family.
 * Never forget where you came from.
 * Don’t disrespect those who brought you up.
 * All members are still allowed to talk to and hang out with former members of Seaside.
 * Drug makers are to follow the | ten crack Commandments.
