  1. Born on the new year's day of 1992, Nikolai was raised in the city of Voronezh in a traditional family that valued and revered the motherland. Nikolai's upbringing was a very masculine one, their father was an idealist and had previously served as a soldier under the newly-disbanded USSR. Frequent hunting trips and outdoor activities shaped the way he grew up, thick-skinned and firm in his own opinion and reasoning. Adolescence Upon turning 15, he joined a boxing gym which focused around Soviet-style boxing and kept up with weekly practice and went onto amateur fighting leaving a record of 7 wins & 2 losses, he kept up the practice until the age of 18, where he joined military due to obligations by law where Nikolai served for 2 years instead of 1 year to fulfill his father's ideology of service to the motherland. Early Career Upon leaving active duty military, Nikolai studied and became Executive Protection for VIP clients - making use of his military and CQC knowledge. The pay was good and it wasn't a boring job, which kept him active through-out his 20s. Sense of duty Growing tensions between Ukraine and Russia after 2014 made Nikolai reconsider joining the war effort, he discarded the idea until early 2020 where the joined the war effort to annex Ukraine serving under the Russian Army - assigned to undercover unit in Donbas to conduct reconnaissance and sabotage to Ukrainian infrastructure where he was promoted to a sergeant due to his promising performance leading local guerrillas. Nikolai returned to his hometown, to be greeted by his overjoyed father where he spent some well deserved rest and recovery - but his stay was interrupted by their commanding officer which demanded he is to report to the nearby military base at the border of Ukraine for a undisclosed task. Into the fray The news took everybody by surprise but this was it, this was the official invasion into Ukrainian territory. Nikolai was assigned to lead a demolitions squad seeing his success in Donbas. The weeks became months and the months drew long and taxing on Nikolai's mental health, which caused him to become sloppy in what would become their final missions in Ukraine. Nikolai suffered fragmentation injuries due to a raid conducted with poor intel from high command - he was sent to the rear where he was taken care for and rehabilitated all through mid-2023 to early 2024. Aftermath Nikolai lost his sense of duty after seeing the unnecessary slaughter of Ukrainian civilians, his life was built on what their fathered always believed and dictated - he left he wasn't living for himself, he was living someone else's idea of what he should be. Delivering the news to his father that he was moving to capitalist America caused Nikolai to be shunned by his family but that didn't discourage Nikolai. He was going to live his own life now. Liberty While working as a cabbie in Liberty City, Nikolai made various connections driving lawyers, mobsters and other high status "civilians" which led to his first unforeseen act of crime as a getaway driver for a mobster who clicked with Nikolai and even introduced him to his associates which owned Saint Mark's Bistro and better part of Liberty City. Nikolai's extensive knowledge of evasive driving, weapon handling and CQC quickly made him a valuable asset for the Camorra in Liberty. Present The family proudly accepted Nikolai into their organized ring, and with the help of the mobster who introduced him into the family, Salvatore Di Lauro, were tasked to scope out and expand the territory for the family here in Los Santos. Salvatore being a high earner in Liberty came up with several schemes to earn money here in Los Santos but the pair would be on their own for the time being until business became official. Nikolai's story, here in Los Santos has only just begun.
  2. Recently after landing in Los Santos, Santiago came in contact with a seemingly friendly man in a drift-spec E46, Martin Hamilton, whom he met by coincidence on his way to buying a car - the man offered him a ride to his autoshop where he was given a bargain on a BMW 750i. The two kept talking and Santiago brought up the idea of him working at the Autoshop which Hamilton owned. The pair exchanged numbered and later during the week Martin called Santiago for his mechanic test, a customer came in for a maintenance on their Benz - who later also added in the task of fitting a tracker inside the vehicle.

  3. What's up AG, somehow I missed the memo that there was a well-made RP server for well over 4years.. I myself love the concept of RP and have quite alot of creative input that I plan to dedicate here. I've been on MTA:SA for over a decade now - I discovered MTA in 2011 while searching for an alternative to SAMP - played in multiple MTA servers and plenty of RP servers aswell, most renowned would be OwlGaming but I've also played on Implicit, BC:RP, SF:RP, LS:RP and ultimately SARP (which I know eventually rebranded as AG). I've quite possibly played in every possible MTA game-mode, drove every car, walked and swam in damn-near the entire map. I also make content for the MTA servers (RPG, DayZ, RP) I enjoy playing mostly, it's not serious and most is of a relaxed nature - except PvP, that's where I pull out my game-face. If you wish to see said content just follow the link, brah! - JBJamal777 Currently collecting some footage from AGRP - to promote the community.
  4. Born in Medellin, Colombia circa 1998. Raised in an extensive middle-class family with 3 brothers and 2 sisters, Santiago always knew the concept of family, loyalty and how blood is thicker than water - their hardworking father managed to become an investor in the coffee industry and capitalized on that. Santiago's upbringing wasn't centered around education and scholarship, however this is not to say he never attended school or pursued further education - but the situation demanded that his siblings and himself were sent to work in the growing sector of producing, processing and exporting coffee which Medellin was known at the time. The teen years were mostly based about his social growth within society, working along with his Uncle doing mechanical work on vehicles which weren't as sophisticated at the time. Santiago loved pursuing other motives of making money, taking several capitalist traits from his father - buying and selling to niche markets, car radios, modifications, turbos, etc. Early in his 20s, he resided to work in a boxing gym, remaining as part-time with his uncle - he also pursued other means of making money.. selling contraband which was abundant in Medellin, later making his first sale of a kilo of Bolivian marching powder. Santiago's endeavor within illicit smuggling was quickly cut short when he was ambushed by a rival competitor, assaulting Santiago leaving him almost left for dead. 7months in hospital recovery made him think of the possibilities he could be doing outside Colombia. Santiago's story in the United States starts here, in the city of Los Santos. Follow this thread for updates on Santiago's journey.
