I was extremely dissatisfied with how GTAJC turned out; I tried to mix the elements of the GTA universe and TT and all I got was a steaming coil of crap. So I decided to start over from scratch, no Lucifer, no mind control, none of that shit. I have something better in mind…

Summary: With the turn of the new millennium the various crime families of Liberty City, Vice, and San Andreas are searching for new cities to strengthen their criminal empires. Their search leads them to one city in particular: Jump City for it's contraband trafficking. Eager to be the first to claim the city, each crime cartel has sent their elite soldiers to take control of the contraband smuggling within the city and recruit new blood. But what they don't know is that Jump City's underworld isn't as easily taken over as it seems, and a certain five super powered teens living in a "T" shaped tower off in the bay are always on the lookout for new criminals looking to make a stake in the cities underworld. And so begins Grand Theft Auto: Jump City Stories!

The Cast: Since this is a new story altogether I decided to throw in a new cast altogether. If you're not familiar with the characters, there is a mini-bio next to each name. Notice all these are GTA characters; I'm assuming y'all know who the Teen Titans are!

Claude Speed- The main character from GTA3, the strong, silent sociopath. Murdered his girlfriend Catalina who ran an international drug cartel when she shot him and left him for dead during a bank robbery. Has long been hunted by criminals in Liberty City (The Triads and Leone's in particular) for crimes against them. Claude caught wind of the Leone Mafia's plot to expand down in Jump City, knowing that if the Leone's gain more power the Yakuza protecting him might give up his whereabouts to the Sicilians for fear of a full- scale war. Unwilling to let this happen Claude catches the next train to the west coast to intercept the Mafia soldier being sent down to Jump City, his old boss: Toni Cipriani.

Tommy Vercetti- The main character in the original GTAJC and GTAVC (Not to mention my favorite GTA character in general), Tommy is the Mafia lord that runs the underworld in Vice. Ambiguous, smart, and brutal Tommy crushed the Forelli family in a mob war and runs what has to be the largest drug operation in the south. His connections in Liberty informed him of the Leone's plot to expand to Jump City, but it is not the Leone's intentions of expansion that Tommy is worried about-it's the control of the contraband trafficking within the city. Eager to gain control of Jump City Tommy sets off for the West Coast.

Toni Cipriani- The main character in Liberty City Stories. Toni was captain for the most feared Mafia don in American history: Salvatore Leone. But with the assassination of his boss the don's son-Joey has assumed control of the organization. With the Sindacco and Forelli mobs closing in Joey has called for expansion into new territory, a place called Jump City. Toni's orders are to take control of the contraband trafficking in the city and establish connections with the crime families there with the Leone's. What Joey doesn't count on is a certain hit-man they tried to kill is back and has no intention of letting the Leone crime cartel become more powerful…

Carl Johnson "CJ"- the main character in GTASA, Carl Johnson defied the odds and made brought back his gang: The Orange Families from the brink of annihilation to the top crime cartel in all of San Andreas. CJ caught wind of the Leone plot for expansion into the west coast and has traveled to Jump City to stake his claim in the underworld before the mob does.

Now that you have a good idea of what the story will be like and the cast of GTA characters the first chapter will be up in a few days timing. I hope you all enjoy this fic!

Sincerely,

John G.
