Looking through some of my first ever LS-RP PMs I came across some Locotes history, this shit should go in a museum or something 
In August 07 it was announced by super admin Fed that the server was gonna be wiped and everyones account resets and that he was going to review applications for brand new factions. I got this PM the very same day 
Only me and Chico and maybe 1 or 2 other people we knew roleplayed as cholos at the time out of the entire server, there were no real street gangs apart from Grove Street which was essentially also another mafia faction with no differences, all the factions in the server were mafias, about 4 or 5 of them I think, and so all the characters were aspiring mafia civs apart from us really. We managed to convince Fed to accept gang applications for the new server wipe script, to much resistance of the bulk of the LS-RP community!
We came up with this application and name over MSN and submitted it in the faction application thread, taking the name from the Cypress Hill track "Locotes" as it fit perfectly once we found it's meaning.
- Locote's (translates as "crazy people" in spanish), In Los Santos to help fellow Chicano's come up in the city, and fight the struggle and oppression that all Chicano's have to deal with in america.
- The Gang originated on the corners of Los santos, formed by poor chicano's who turned to the life of crime to get by.
- Background story of gang:
The gang was created in the slums of Los santos in 1984, in the poverty stricken areas Las Colinas, Los Flores, East Los Santos, Playa del seville, El corona, and little mexico. At this time there were already alot of latin gangs aka cholos, But despite being from the same origin, there were many internal gang wars between fellow chicano's. One lowly criminal by the name of Cesar Reyes, who was in the east side vago's at the time was deeply saddened by how drugs and money had become more important than the love for your own race.
He left the gang before he got too involved and decided to start up his own group with close friends who shared the same ideals and beliefs as him, and held the same passion to make something out of nothing for the chicano's struggling in Los Santos instead of killing each other off, his dream was for them to unite together. It was hard finding members who were more interested in his beliefs than the money, but eventually things picked up through word of mouth that there was a gang out there for latinos who wanted to help the race itself, and latinos everywhere started to realise who their true enemy was.
Things ran smoothly, business was good, the gang was making money through robbery, extortion, but most of all the latino's were completely running the show on the drugs trade side out doing even the columbians, but cesar wouldnt get to live it for much longer..... He thought being so low in the ranks of the Vago's, he could slip out un noticed when he started the Locote's, but he was dead wrong. One night while he was hangin outside the 69c store in El Corona with some gang members, 2 cars filled with members of the Vago's slowly rolled past, pulling yellow bandannas over their faces, and shot at the of 5 Locote's who shot back, but they were too outnumbered and caught off guard. Only one member survived, and it wasnt Cesar.... a recruit and close friend Joey Cortez had played dead behind a car in the parking lot after being shot in the leg. He crawled over to cesar who wasnt moving an inch riddled with bullet holes and blood pouring from his mouth and down his neck, Joey took cesar's pendant from his necklace and vowed to keep the spirit of the latino's alive and claimed leadership of the gang being the last one around cesar at the time... and one of the gangs oldest members.
Joeys first decision as Jefe was to choose a right hand man from the locote gang members, or in spanish, Vato del mano derecha. This man was Chico Cruz, a man who represented his origins with pride, and the two soon formed a close partnership.
The gang are currently a street gang swarming in the latino populated areas of Los santos, and play a big part in the drugs trade like so many latino's before them. ((mexicans are very well known for their role of smuggling drugs and controlling drug ring's in the U.S especially Los Angeles/Santos. And especially around the time san andreas is set))
- Color: Sky Blue (to match the azteca and rifa gang colors and bandanna's).
- Car: Slamvan.
- Helicopter: No, because gangs dont use helicopters, they cant afford them.
- Main activities of gang:
I want to have the majority of the gang as drug dealers, with some arms dealers and drug smugglers, but my main vision is to have them only ever be found in the slummy latin named (the real life territory equivalent of latin gangs in los santos/los angeles) areas of LS, mainly El Corona and Little Mexico, when people need drugs ,That's where they go and where high class civillians try to stay away from ((like IRL)). Their main spot of business is the 69c store and the graffiti plastered back alleys and run down streets and projects of El Corona.
These apartments would be for the lower rank's.
The higher ranks will live in these houses.
A hot spot and shady place for drug's and weapon deals.
A second hot spot and shady place for drug's and weapon deals.
A third hot spot and shady place for drug's and weapon deals.
Meeting place for low rider shows behind in the sewer behind the 69c store (was going to be unity but its used for busses)
Skins:
1.Jefe (Boss)
2.Vato del mano derecha (Right Hand Man)
3.Soldado (Soldier)
4.Buscavidas (Hustler)
5.Pandillero (Gang Banger)

((Well that took me and chico a good 4 hours of discussing, taking screenshots, translating, and typing, hope this is considered as the lack of street gangs in a map that is half made up with ghetto's is a waste of some awesome RP situations, thank you for reading))

LOL how weak is that? Nonetheless it got chosen by Fed as one of the official factions to be scripted the day of the new server wipe, I probably credit a lot of it to the fact that I created the LS-RP animation script that is still used today (few people know that D: ) and gave it to him, though he removed half of the anims due to crashes.. but he knew I'd be a capable leader and good community member. GOOD TIMES. So yeah little pointless history lesson for you guys now that the faction is closed.
