As requested by Luci, I've put together a little info about the gang my character now leads. More may be added/altered as I develop them further.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gang Name: The Takanomiya Group (TTG)
Gang Description:
A newly formed gang, based in Tier Five’s Nothside quadrant. Despite being generally gang-like in most ways, they aim to adopt a veneer of respectability by masquerading as a legitimate business organisation and actually paying their taxes, so as to avoid any trouble with the law. Currently, they are more preoccupied with stamping out their competition in Northside than actually taking advantage of the territory they control. They lack the colour-coded outfits of many other gangs, but will generally be seen wearing distinctive dark green and white armbands when out in public, to make it obvious who they work for. Unlike other gangs, they do not mark their territory with graffiti. Everyone in the Group is equipped with a katana and a .50 AE Desert Eagle handgun. Those are the only weapons they ever use.

Notable Members:
[spoiler]
Name: Takanomiya Hijiri
Rank: Director
Bio: A member of a race called “Battle Rabbits”, Hijiri usually looks like an ordinary—albeit dashingly handsome and impeccably dressed—twenty-something man, but can sometimes be seen sporting a pair of bunny ears when unleashing his true form. Unlike the other members of his gang, he doesn’t bother wearing an armband, since he has verse-wide Recognition, and so is in little danger of being overlooked, no matter where he goes. His most striking feature (ears aside) is his hair, which shifts in colour based on the level of light, from purple (when it's bright) to navy blue (in the dark). He will generally act calm and confident in front of his allies, and is deadly serious in combat. He seeks to protect the people of Northside, and has grudgingly conceded that the only viable way of funding such an endeavour may be to resort to running protection rackets and other criminal endeavours.
Name: Alejandro Torres
Rank: Chief of Security
Bio: A Spaniard who went through most of his life as nothing more than a low-level criminal thug with no prospects, in both his original world and in the Omniverse... until he met Hijiri. Now, however, he has been elevated to the position of the Director's right-hand man. He is fanatically loyal to his new employer, whom he and his closest allies view as an almost messianic saviour-figure. Alejandro has dark brown eyes, a lean build, and dark hair shaved in the skinhead style. He generally wears a boiled leather vest, boiled leather knee-high boots, with regular, unhardened leather trousers tucked into those boots, and a leather belt. On top of these, he wears two overcoats; an inner coat of chainmail, with a leather coat atop it. He also wears a pair of leather gloves and an extra-wide-brimmed hat, as well as a gang armband on his left arm. Everything apart from the chainmail and the armband is dark brown in colour. He keeps his katana sheathed at his waist and a handgun holstered on his chest, atop the leather vest.
Name: Bernard King
Rank: Treasurer
Bio: Once the leader of a weak and feeble excuse for a gang, he surrendered his control in exchange for wealth when Hijiri showed up to usurp his position and build his Takanomiya Group. Bernie is a pragmatist, but not a fool; he wouldn’t even consider turning on the Director unless he actually thought the people aiming to convince him to do so could (and would) keep him safe afterwards. He is a corpulent, balding and pale-skinned man, with beady, dark brown eyes and stubble covering his multiple chins. He dresses in a ridiculously gaudy outfit consisting of: a thick, violet silk robe; a neon yellow silk sash tied beneath his belly like a belt; red velvet moccasins lined with white ermine fur; a cloak of scarlet wool with a wide collar of white ermine fur; and a pure gold crown on his head. He also wears a gang armband on his right arm. When going out, he will have a sheathed katana stuffed through his sash-belt and a handgun holstered on his chest, kept concealed beneath his robe.[/spoiler]
Notable Bases:

The Pillar That Holds Up The Sky
The Pillar is a skyscraper in the shape of a column and is so large that its roof actually presses up against the ceiling of Tier Five, five hundred metres above ground level. The building is also one hundred metres wide. The 50-metre-high staircase that forms its base is made of veined, white granite, as is the block of stone at its top. The walls consist of a metal frame and hundreds of huge slabs of mirrored glass. The glass sections on the lowest level can slide down into the base to permit entry… though the stairs also serve as a hidden entrance leading into a garage area, in which they store their vehicles.
The Pillar is well guarded at all times by both the gang’s members and also by numerous AI-controlled turrets hidden within. It’s location is public knowledge (in fact, it is probably the most notable part of Northside’s skyline), though as far as the Empire is concerned, the Takanomiya Group is a law-abiding company, and so as of yet it has not been subject to any raids or investigations by the EPD.[/spoiler]
