Essentially, the city I had this one based in was a Chicago-like city, since even though it's not as big as New York or Los Angeles, it's still a pretty big city. So I figured I'd give it the "Rockstar" like approach and give it a custom name, and I found the name Tricogo for it. I did this by checking up what Chicago actually meant in Native American Algonquin language.

I also had to do research on what established crime families and crime gangs there are in Chicago to hopefully write out some ideas for villains or factions for the protag to join.

First, there's the Uniform, which is an Italian-American crime syndicate based off of The Outfit. They're essentially the powerhouse of the south side of Tricogo. They have connections with many other powerful crime families across the nation.

There's also the Chupacabras, who are essentially the "Vagos" of Tricogo. They're meant to be a bit more of an antagonistic faction.

I also tried to include the Lost MC here somewhere.

There's also the Outlaw Apostles and the Fallen Apostles, which were one gang at first, but split up into two separate factions. Among the street gangs, the Outlaws are the most powerful and widespread on the South Side.

Then there's the Hustlas, who are basically like the Ballas from Los Santos.

As for an actual plot to the story, I've barely scratched the surface for it.
