Origins of the Saints

A brief synopsis of the humble beginnings, trials and tribulations, and legacy of the Saints.

The Third Street Saints were founded in Stilwater, Michigan, USA by Julius Augustus Little and Troy Johnson Bradshaw on January 18, 2006. The initial goal was to form a vigilante squad to counteract the increasing gang violence in the city. Once rescuing then-runaway child Vash Elias Koroyumi, history began unfolding. Vash yearned to join them, and once initiated, helped ward off the gangs of that era. Los Carnales, Vice Kings, and Westside Rollerz were successfully eradicated from Stilwater, but Vash's life was at stake after Julius set him up for death, leading him to be comatose until August 24, 2008.During Vash's coma, remaining members of Los Carnales reformed into The Brotherhood, the Ronin came in from Japan, and the Sons Of Samedi that were already operating at Stilwater University grew into a larger militia. Ultor became a corporate operative that created economical damage to the lower class. With Julius missing, and the Saints disbanded, Vash took it upon himself to kickstart the gang back. With the help of Johnny Gat, Anthony Gage Braddock, Shaundi Elizabeth Delgado, Pierce Arif Washington, Carlos Mendoza, Maliki Quinton Braddock, Catherine Faith Knoxville, Rudo Tang, and Chiyo Xena Takahashi, Stilwater was once again cleansed of gang violence.Forming an allyship with Ultor and the Vocaloid record label by 2009, the Saints grew into a multimedia empire. Vash, though battling substance abuse issues, toured the world as a music artist. Johnny created the hit comic series "Gangstas In Space". Anthony began wrestling, while continuing his rap career. Shaundi curated the Planet Saints clothing line, with the help of Pierce, who became the Saints overall face of marketing their products alongside the Saints Flow energy drink. Catherine created the TRU-BY-YU makeup brand. Maliki, and sometimes Anthony, helped bodyguard Vash.During the Saints' celebrity growth and Vash's downward spiral, worldwide crime organization called the Syndicate began to weigh in on Stilwater's fertile territory. Once the Saints attempted to stop this in 2011, the struggle pulled Vash out of his alcohol and drug abuse in order to clear his head for revenge, realizing there was alot for the Saints to lose. This led the Saints to Steelport, Illinois, USA, where the Syndicate was stationed. Forming an alliance with Rufus Zimos Jackson, Kinzie Dianne Kensington, Angel Torres Gonzalez, and the Steelport gang Kakudai led by Haruko Valentina Alvidrez, the Saints fought through the factions until S.T.A.G. was formed to halt Vash's cause. Kakudai disbanded, but the Saints refused to back down. The Morningstar, Luchadores, and Deckers, along with S.T.A.G., all fell to the Saints. With the threat seemingly eradicated, Vash and the Saints returned to Stilwater and continued their celebrity growth.After a strange energy surge from a Persocom in Tokyo, Japan on August 9, 2014, a hoard of robots from Meridian: Canadian Hometown Company began wreaking havoc across the US, terrorizing humans and monsters alike, leading many to die and disappear. The Saints quickly got involved, attempting to stop their attack on Monster High in Salem, Oregon, USA. In the complicated efforts, the Saints went to find the root of the issue in Arbor Hole, Canada. Vash soon learned that there were more branches of the Syndicate, and that the Morningstar were still at large. After eradicating Meridian: Canadian Hometown Company, the Saints re-entered the states and headed for Liberty City and Boo York, New York, USA. The monster gang The Kronix teamed up with the Saints to fight against the VVavvers and the second serving of Morningstar. Once they were defeated, the Saints observed the Comet Crystal Gala. They soon connected the Syndicate's ties to a terrorist base in the Middle East, being aided by ex-S.T.A.G. leader Cyrus Temple. As the Saints, with the help of MI-6, took down the terrorists, Vash disarmed their nuke that was set to destroy a large part of America.Once Vash was safely back in America, he received a call from Donald Trump, encouraging him to run for President of the United States, due to how passionate he was about fighting corrupt forces. The corrupt Democrats and Republicans were rising in power, and political tensions were thickening. Donald ran as a Republican, while Vash ran as an Independent, both in support of eachother to ensure that one or the other wins. Once the 2016 election was concluded, Vash won the presidency, and as soon as he was inaugurated, began to drain the swamp with the help of his Saints as his administration. Helping improve quality of life for all humans, monsters, and animals, he dug deep into government secrets, unveiling in 2018 that the Morningstar were still operative in California, and had been the largest force in the world of corruption. He took it into his own hands, and went straight to Los Santos, California, USA. Through his trail of vigilant destruction, he was shaken to know that the monster Baphomet, who caused the Fright Flight crisis between monsters and humans thousands of years ago, was the center of the entire operation. He fought through the Illuminati and Ultor in Vinewood, Lockwood, and to Baphomet's lair in Hauntlywood. Once Vash killed Baphomet, the Morningstar was finished.A few months after destroying the final remnants of the Syndicate, the Zin alien empire invaded Earth on September 26, 2018, confirming the comet alien Astranova's warnings in 2014 as true. Alongside strange reportings of Saints teleporting beyond explaination, Zin ships came tumbling down, eventually leading to their emperor Zinyak's death at Vash's hand. Citizens around the world walked into their local streets, protesting against all current governments, demanding that Vash step up into a higher power as emperor of Earth. This led to the reform of the United Nations. Every country's leader stepped down, making way for a Saint to be president in each nation. Every president then began answering to emperor Vash, who went back to his home in Stilwater. The Saints empire became the United Nations of the Third Street Saints. On October 4, 2018, the Quakening, a mild but terrifying earthquake vibrated the entire planet, with some theorists suggesting that Earth was originally destroyed by the Zin empire, but reversed back by the Saints through possible time travel. This theory is a valid speculation.Seemingly suddenly, Vash arrived to Santo Ileso, Arizona, USA on April 15, 2022. It turned out that some gang warfare was detected in the area, going suspiciously unreported. Los Panteros, last remaining Deckers that reformed into the Idols, and last remaining Morningstar that reformed into Crimson Muerte had been operating, and Vash made friends with ex members, taking down each faction while escaping death once again. Marshall Defense Industries, which had became a coalition of ex-Ultor and ex-S.T.A.G. members, were conspiring a way to swindle the Saints empire into their possession. Failing to do so, their corporation fumbled along with the last remaining enemy factions. Afterwards, Vash joined the citywide famous apocalypse LARP, "The Dustmoot", as house Sandy Kraken's leader Bossonius the Bloody.Staying in Santo Ileso until November 30, 2023, Vash and the Saints empire continued to expand their benefits to citizens all over the world while making more time to lay low. Vash returned to his home in Stilwater, and has been relatively quiet since. Sources, along with Vash himself, confirm that he has been unwinding and healing his traumatic wounds now that the world is stable enough. Meetings with the United Nations of the Third Street Saints continue to happen, paving the way for more technological and law innovation that improve lives around the world. It seems the Saints are far from running out of ideas to make life better for everyone.After all that has been achieved...

Saints' Code of Ethics

To ensure the safety and stability of civilized communities, as well as ourselves, be sure to keep the code of ethics in mind when engaging in vigilante warfare. This comprehensive rule guide was implanted in 2011, with revisions through time.

•Do not harm the innocent, especially children and animals, especially in enemy crossfire. Evacuate all civilians to safety to avoid unnecessary casualties. Saints found intentionally harming or killing innocent civilians will be punished at the highest order.•Do not traffic unwilling persons for sex. Self prostitution and enabling consensual sex work is fine, as long as those involved are adults. Saints found engaging in sex trafficking, especially of children, will be punished at the highest order.•Do not further enable the trafficking of drugs. Usage of drugs and alcohol is fine, but deeply discouraged. Saints found engaging in drug trafficking of their own will have their drugs confiscated and disposed of, and depending on severity, punishment varies.•Support local gun stores. Do not obtain weapons illegally. Taking enemy weapons or gifting weapons to others is fine. Saints found obtaining weapons illegally, such as black market schemes, will be punished.•Avoid killing cops unless explicitly necessary. We are above the law, not against it. Saints found engaging in anti-cop rhetoric will be punished in varied severity.•Not every vehicular chase can be solved with killing. When in a high speed chase, the enemy in context changes how you stop them. For cops, try to shoot their tires to demobilize them without taking their life. For gang factions, headshot the driver.•Do not hijack citizens' vehicles, no matter how desperate for getaway. Call someone; a Saint, Uber/Lyft, pay a taxi, or if a Saint is nearby, ride with them. If a civilian offers a ride, you may accept the offer. Saints found stealing civilian vehicles will be punished.•Obey traffic laws to ensure societal safety. Especially when in a high speed chase, weave through traffic carefully, while paying attention to the traffic flow pattern to avoid causing others to have an accident. Saints found deliberately ignoring traffic laws and causing innocent casualties will be punished.•Do not engage in aimless terrorism, such as irrelevant property destruction or harassing the innocent. Artistic graffiti, especially if contracted to do so, is fine, but must be sensible. Saints found terrorizing non-hostile environments and civilians will be punished.•Fraud, such as insurance or tax aid exploitation, is discouraged. Obtain money as authentically as possible, or from deceased enemy faction members. Stealing assets illegally from enemy factions is an exception. Saints found committing fraud will be revoked of their stolen assets, and depending on severity, punishment is varied.•Freedom of opinion and choice is mandatory. Do not harm or kill someone, especially the innocent, for simply differing in lifestyle or perspective than you. If no moral ethics are broken by the person, leave them alone. Discrimination on the basis of any species, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexuality, disability, or any other existential category is strictly prohibited.
