Harlem Isle Crips formally Cobalts of Urbanton

The origins of this gang date back almost to the beginning of our great nation. The Harlem Isle Crips also known as the Cobalts, HI-C's, HI-Crip are descended from various escaped slaves and Black Union soldiers throughout history in America. These individuals some how stumbled into the Land that would be settled as the Compass Cites along with many other people. The natives that lived in the land went to conquer the still savage land filled with all sorts of creatures and left most of what these towns are now as a settlement for them. Originally taking the name Cobalts after the soldiers they defended against the invaders of the other side along with the M-75. The Crips and M-75 have an upheld partnership with ESR and the Locos due to their common enemies. So much so that the ESR and some Locos are considered honorary HI-Crips. Their main enemies being the Bloods whom settled across the river on the east and in southern Urbanton. The Crips have a strong code of ethics and honor. They will not attack single enemies unless called for, or under age members and single female member. These are some codes that the gangs abide to for safety of the people. The Bloods however are easily enraged to break these rules. They are skilled fighters from their heritage. They are known for there respected marksmanship throughout the settled lands. They became known as the Crips after the land was annexed to the US and other siders came to the city and joined as well. This younger generation does not know why the battle now to this day. All have forgotten the history of their existence and all they know is hate for the other.

The Crips are a real gang. This is just a set I created of my own to go along with my stories.
