Noir Grim

Type: Official faction - Gang

MEMBERS: Hachiko Lazarus (Hachiko Ronin), Rikishi Keahi (Patman Ballinger)

There seems to have been a bug with the Potential Enemy and Other sections so gonna ask Lucien to come post the correct version of the Other section below.

BACKGROUND: After the disband of the Reapers, the members found themselves with nothing to hold as theirs. The gang served as more than simply a gang; it was a family. It brought comfort and protection, but it lacked the power it once had. With the power came security within the city, and though they planned on restoring such the gang would fall before they ever had the chance. After some days, Lucien and Hachiko Lazarus thought of polishing old ideas and incorporating them into something new. Something that would revive what they'd once felt. They wanted to create another group, another family, yet controlled by themselves in order to ensure the gang had stable power. The main focus was the fighting events; events the gang would hold where people would fight and spectators would place bets. A way of gambling that would bring the gang some income. The idea of hits, which was once the initial idea would be brought to life to allow people to pay the gang and force someone to fight. Fights would consist of different elements; people who were willing to fight and hold a rank within the system, and people who had a hit placed on them and were thrown into the ring by force. The gang seeks planned and organized activities to ensure their own protection and gain of power while also bringing in a profit for themselves and for the gang itself. Drugs could be used when the bets are taken not just for extra income, but also given to the fighters here and there to help encourage specific outcomes. Lucien's French heritage brought about the name which quickly was accepted among the members, and they began to discuss all the possible ideas they could work on later on, but still focusing on the fighting events which they wish to be the gang's image. An image that serves as imposing and threatening yet welcomes people to join their events whether it be for a good fight, entertainment, or their own sense of revenge upon forced participants. They strive for the power and control it would bring them each, something they did not have in the old gang. This is them, their new group, their new face. Purple and black rags with skull emblems would be planned to eventually signal the loyalty to the group and refresh their alliance.

UNIQUE: Currently the gang holds no front, but the members usually meet in the apartments by the Rader Records. They have settled for the surrounding area and people who approach will likely be met with the members trying to invite the person to their fight nights if one is currently being planned, or they could try to see if the person is interested in placing a hit.

FLAW: The idea of sending word out about the fighting events would certainly give away their location for the event. While they plan on changing location, enemies, rivals and HPD can easily track them and find them if they were to plan a raid or an attack on the gang.

POTENTIAL ENEMY: We're interested in roleplaying with all gangs, but if we had to pick, perhaps the Demons. Lucien has a valuable friend in the gang. While he has not directly interacted with Demons, we'd be interested in working together if able.

EXPERIENCE: I usually try to listen to everyone's input before deciding anything. I like to listen to everyone's concern, keeping a discrete approach if it ever happens that there's a conflict. I like to ensure everyone is enjoying the roleplay and their character's progress and if they aren't, I look for ways to make it enjoyable for them as much as possible. I'm open to suggestions and feedback to help improve ideas as well.

IDEAS: We're looking to involve as many players as we can in the gang's story. Players will have the opportunity to interact with the gang whoever they choose; from being a member, to being a fighter and even someone who often contacts the gang to hire them for a hit. The gang would offer protection to new members and an income which would be earned by their work within the gang and their overall earnings in the planned events.

OTHER: We're interested in roleplaying with all gangs, but if we had to pick, perhaps the Demons. Lucien has a valuable friend in the gang. While he has not directly interacted with Demons, we'd be interested in working together if able.
