Corona Varrio Locotes 13, previously known as Tortilla Flats Locos 13 and Corona Varrio Tortilla Flats 13, which are also known as Southside Locotes 13's younger generation, is one of the oldest street gangs on Los Santos Roleplay. The faction was originally founded by Joey Cortez on 11th August 2007 and have been kept up and running ever since with different leaderships. The original founder and leader of the then called 'Los Locotes' had to go inactive in December 2008 due to internet problems and the leadership was passed over to Cailiz and duzion. During years of development, the faction divided into two different sub-sets, one was kept in the surrounding areas of El Corona and the other one was assigned to Las Colinas, which was later named 'The Hillside Locotes 828', led by Roque Cadero.
Now after a year later, the faction whom Cailiz created: Varrio El Corona X3 was taken down for the first time due to a casefile operation. After it was shut down, Birdman! along with a group of the past members opened a small sub-set called Corona Varrio Tortilla Flats 13 and eventually named Tortilla Flats Locos 13, which is based on the younger generation of Locotes whom are resident of El Corona. Whilst the 'big homies' were in prison, a group of young teenagers/kid are holding down the streets of El Corona - representing the Locotes as they do. So for when the moment comes the streets will be handed over to the Locotes who are were currently incarcerated.
The faction has been running ever since then and still continues to strive towards it's old glory.
Members and affiliates of Tortilla Flats Locos 13, previously known as Corona Varrio Tortilla Flats 13, or also known as the younger generation of Locotes, roam the streets nowadays, representing EC with pride. Their cause is to hold down the El Corona area whilst their past superiors are locked up in jails and prisons for several charges acquired during the casefile. Often seen in poor clothes, they hold down EC with a perhaps forced toughness, trying to look tough on anyone who passes. Due to the past two casefiles that's still actively rumored about, most of the members avoid law enforcement agencies at all costs, showing distinct fear. Although they show fear, this does not mean members are getting along with LE agencies. Due to those two past casefiles, there's a certain hatred developed against these agencies. Grafitti containing slogans like 'Fuck the cops' and 'Fuck la jura' is commonly spotted in recent grafitties.
Tortilla Flats Locos 13, previously known as Corona Varrio Tortilla Flats 13's leaders were close friends to currently incarcerated Locotes. These individuals are somewhat experienced in the gang life, showing obvious pride to their roots and the image of Southside Locotes 13. The initial idea behind Corona Varrio Tortilla Flats 13 is to continue the grip on EC with a newer, perhaps even more capable generation. The capability of the members has to be proven, due to their young age their knowledge about the ganglife is severely limited compared to the much older generation of Southside Locotes 13. The leaders of Tortilla Flats Locos 13 experienced the almost impossible casefile being executed on Southside Locotes 13. It only took days before they realized something had to be done, somebody had to keep down EC whilst the older generation was locked up. Members were randomly picked from left and right, only to gain numbers quickly to maintain the same grasp Locotes had.
Respect is used rather than ranks to indicate a person's ego. The more crimes a member commits, the more respect he gains from his fellow homeboys. Leaders of the set are members who earnt their respect as time passed. These leaders were close to the original members of Varrio El Corona and were candidates to be initiated.
As the time passed, the young reckless Tortilla Flats member were still roaming on the streets of El Corona, making their name noticeable. During those time, there was no trace of the old known Locotes around, just one; Ocho. Also known as the Southside Locotes 13 shot caller. During the gang take down by the Police Department, many Locotes were incarcerated, murdered or left the city to somewhere else unknown. It's said that only 2 - 4 Locotes are still roaming within the city of Los Santos, yet it's not confirmed. But as the Locos have been kept away, the younger generation also known as Corona Varrio Tortilla Flats 13 has been set up in order to held down to what was known as the Locotes turf.
During the past few months, it's said that the known small clique has gotten affiliated to what is known as eMe, a prison gang. Ever since, there has been a sign of an old Locote visiting El Corona on a daily basis, supplying the clique members. As the affiliation is being set, the criminal activity rate within the 516 code area has increased during the past few weeks. It's said that clique has been pushing off its boundaries in order to expand their territory, yet it's unknown. However their aspect as a group of youngens together has changed drastically as the rates of murders increase by day. The constant gang beef between the rival gangs has been pushed off the limit, causing chaos on El Corona and elsewhere.
As the time went on, more and more reports are being filled in against the notorious clique Corona Varrio Tortilla Flats 13. The rate of criminal activity hasn't reduced, but instead increased. It's been happening ever since the new signs of Southside Locotes 13 have been showing off in El Corona recently. Rumors are being spread around that to what was known as a clique; Corona Varrio Tortilla Flats has progressed into a notorious gang, nowadays calling themselves the fourth generation of Southside Locotes 13 - the younger and most dangerous one. It's said that Eduardo Ochoa, or known as "Ocho" (Southside Locotes previous Shot Caller) has laid down CVTF the name of Locotes upon them. Building a whole new era for Locotes, called; Tortilla Flats Locos 13.
- RECRUITMENT
- All recruitment for Corona Varrio Tortilla Flats 13 is done in-character. You should not expect to get jumped in after a couple of days as it will take time before you get trusted enough in-character to be one of the members in the clique.
The best way is to try to get some contact with the lower ranks who will introduce you later on to the higher ranks which is something a lot of members makes wrong and tries to get respect for the high ranks right away which often doesn't end up too well.
As an outsider, you will probably be told very often to move away from us and what not, but don't give up cause you don't get respected right away. It will take some time before you get known around us, of course depending on your in-character actions. So its really important that you have patience when you're trying to join.
