A group of Tumblr roleplayers centering around an entire family as the [[EvilTwin collective Desert Bluffs Carlos]] from the podcast Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale.
Basically, someone decided to create Desert Bluffs Carlos, and [[FollowTheLeader then so did someone else and someone else]]. Rather than getting into a full-out FlameWar over whose was the “real” Desert Bluffs Carlos, they all stood back, looked at each other, and asked [[ForWantOfANail “What if we became a family instead?”]]
The main family blogs are as follows: the original creator of what as far as anyone can tell was one of the first Desert Bluffs Carloses is [[http://videntefernandez.tumblr.com videntefernandez]] (previously known as nazi-nurse). The other family members are [[http://eruditexperimenter.tumblr.com Sergio]], [[http://strexcorpsguardian.tumblr.com Ricardo]], [[http://scienceandstrex.tumblr.com Diego]], [[http://mistress-strex.tumblr.com Divina]], [[http://smilingindoctrinator.tumblr.com Luciano]], [[http://strexecutioner.tumblr.com Noah Santiago]], [[http://lucentsynthesist.tumblr.com Caesar Santiago]] (who has been revealed to be related by blood to Noah Santiago), [[http://antonio-ofstrex.tumblr.com/ Antonio]], and [[http://strexslittlestangel.tumblr.com/ Jezebel]] (note that Diego has [[http://themoreyoustrex.tumblr.com at least]] [[http://askthebusiness-partners.tumblr.com two more blogs]] as he is believed to have been one of the originals.) Assorted other blogs include [[http://strexycorpertm.tumblr.com Sergio’s wife Stella]], [[http://cleopatrathesecretary.tumblr.com Ricardo’s secretary Cleopatra]] [[http://cleopatrathesecretary.tumblr.com and his PA Christopher]], [[http://strexcorptopsecurity.tumblr.com head of security Walter]], [[http://silentsecurity.tumblr.com newly created biomachine Samuel]], [[http://synernist-supervisor.tumblr.com canon character Daniel]], and a great many Kevin, Cecil, and Marcus Vanston blogs attached to the main group that can be found [[http://christpherrose-pa.tumblr.com/post/9353057 here]].
There are a great many SpinOff and {{AlternateUniverse}} fics and settings in which members of the Family feature or make appearances, with frequent contributors including [[http://archiveofourown.org/users/LittleMissLiesmith/works LittleMissLiesmith]], notable for their High School AU fan fiction, [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/2246019/chapters/4928358 A History of Mondays (Better Lives To Lead)]] ((now abandoned)), Tumblr user, [[http://jathis.tumblr.com/search/strex+family Jathis]], Tumblr user, [[http://demonbillionaireofdesertbluffs.tumblr.com/ demonbillionaireofdesertbluffs]]/[[http://unitc223ofstrex.tumblr.com/ unitc223ofstrex]], notable for their [[http://demonbillionaireofdesertbluffs.tumblr.com/search/fnaf Five Nights At Freddy's AU]] and Tumblr user[[http://goddess-in-green goddess-in-green]], notable for their popular [[http://strippervale.tumblr.com Stripper Vale AU]].

%%** PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: [[spoiler: It's been confirmed that even when one or both of them are de-educated, they're still very much in love.]]
* BadassFamily:
%%** The Strex Family, of course.
%%** The family also has reverse doubles created as a concept for Carlos’s family, known simply as the Reverse Strex Family. Conceived of by [[http://howlingandholloweyes.tumblr.com/ Tumblr user howlingandholloweyes]], they include patriarch Miguel (reverse Ricardo), tattoo artist and break-in specialist, Silvio (reverse Sergio), pediatrician Dr. Julius Feliciano (reverse Caesar), forgery expert Lovino (reverse Luciano), homemaker and mother of four, Carmen (reverse Divina), school nurse Jonah Feliciano (reverse Santiago), seamstress and fashion designer Isabelle (reverse Jezabel), and accomplished chef, Alejandro (reverse Antonio.) They are equally badass, and seem to have an uncanny knack for being able to get into and out of the StrexCorp compound without invoking dire consequences.
** The Sorriso Family, an entire family of [[PhysicalGod gods]].
%%* BerserkButton: Mr. Santiago?
%%* BigScrewedUpFamily: Pretty much the entirety of everything surrounding them.
%%* BrokenBird: Any of the reeducated siblings after realizing what they did, but ''especially'' Jezebel.

%%** Zacharie, Strexy's PA, is more like Camp Pansexual
* {{Canon}}: Everything found [[http://archiveofourown.org/users/EruditExperimenter/pseuds/EruditExperimenter at this Ao3 account]]. Includes consolidated editions of old blog threads into more easily readable format, and/or stories co-written by some of the main Family members that set up pertinent plot points.
* CharacterBlog: Set up like this for the asks and non-roleplaying posts. Sometimes goes into BreakingTheFourthWall territories.
%%* CreepyTwins: Diego and Divina, especially when you see their younger selves.
%%* CuteMute: Santiago's son Robin is literally mute, and undeniably very cute as well.
%%* DaddysLittleVillain: Jezebel and Divina both fit this.
%%* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Sergio, as detailed in his [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/3074147 reeducation file]]]], but this also applies to almost all of them.
%%* EmoTeen: Diego and Divina, at times, which is understandable considering they are technically teenagers. Also, Luciano in his younger years.
* EnemyWithin: [[spoiler:Luciano when hearing the voices of the Disciples of a Smiling God in his head]]
* EveryoneIsRelated:
** The huge family, the equally huge alter ego family, all of their adopted children, actual children, love interests, cousins, sons, daughters, friends, employees...
** Also noticeable in the HighSchoolAU fic by [=LittleMissLiesmith=], where the relations are turned into the sprawling set of "Vega family cousins".
* EvilTwin: A good portion of the characters started off as Evil Twins of Carlos, the canon LoveInterest.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Santiago. Birds nest in his hair, Fairytale/SnowWhite-style.
* GlasgowGrin: Luciano has one thanks to his [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/2252385/chapters/4943628 reeducation]].
%%* GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: A big part of reeducation and Strexcorp in general.
%%* GunNut: Diego, for sure. At least one of his blogs regularly posts nothing but photsets of guns.
* HalfIdenticalTwins: Diego and Divina. {{Justified}} in that they were genetically engineered by Ricardo to take over the company.
%%* HappilyMarried: Sergio and Stella Vega.
%%* HighSchoolAU: [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/2246019 It has one]].
%%* {{Jerkass}}: Most of the Family

%%* MadScientist: Several of the characters, namely Luciano, Sergio, sometimes Diego…
%%* MamaBear: Stella
%%* ManipulativeBastard: Most of the Strex Family; particularly Sergio, Luciano, Divina, and in unexpected ways, [[spoiler: Ricardo, who is a spy working toward Strex's downfall and may be more accurately described as a MagnificentBastard]].

* MesACrowd: The main group is made up of nine people, ''all'' of whom are versions of a Desert Bluffs Carlos.
%%* NoSocialSkills: Santiago.
%%* PapaWolf: Sergio and Santiago both qualify.
* PlotThreads: The main format for the blogs. There's often a few major storylines (for example, one centering on the interactions of various Family members with the [[http://smilinigdisciples.tumblr.com Disciples of the Smiling God]]), but the other blogs create their own subplots and storylines that often have some relation to the main plot.
* PoisonedWeapon: Sergio with his poison-capsule containing, augmented dentition which he uses to breathe poisonous vapor onto his victims
%%* ProudBeauty: Pretty much the group as a whole; they're sexy and they know it.
* RapunzelHair: Santiago and Luciano each have it. This has resulted in a comic wherin they try to braid it together and get stuck and the idea that after his transition, Santiago cut his hair only to realize that he (and Jezebel) liked it long…
-->'''Santiago''': I FUCKED UP.
-->'''Jezebel''': YOU FUCKED UP.
* SadisticChoice: [[spoiler:It appears as though Diego is going to have to choose between killing Jezebel quickly or letting someone or something else kill her painfully.]]
%%* SanitySlippage: Oftentimes Diego and Luciano.
%%* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: The entire family as the owners of Strexcorp.
* ShoutOut:
** Luciano loves ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera''.
** There are a lot of jokes by the fans of the blogs that the Strex Family is like ''Theatre/RepoTheGeneticOpera'', but with less singing (except on Luciano’s part).
%%* TheSociopath: Diego, especially on [[http://themoreyoustrex.tumblr.com this blog]].
* StickyFingers: The Reverse Strex Family is apparently an entire family of [[LovableRogue Lovable Rogues]]. They arrive at the mansion and, after they get over their initial shock, begin to steal everything in sight.

%%* TeamMom: Stella to the group at large.
%%* TortureTechnician: Sergio
%%* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The entire group.
