WESTSIDE CANON (TIER 5 CRIMINAL GANGS AND INFO)

[Jack Darby]

Also, would it be okay if I added a new "gang" to the canon, that will be a rising star?

[Luci]

Sorry for late response Mathew, the answer is heck yeah!

[Takanomiya Hijiri]

A little while ago now, I asked Luci for permission to expand upon and develop the Northside Wolfpack, just as All Might did with the Floating Lotus Posse. She said that was fine, so I've written something up for them. I may expand upon this information in my roster at some point after I've actually gotten around to introducing these characters, but for now this should be plenty:

Gang Name: Northside Wolfpack (NSW)

Gang Description:

An experienced, well established gang in the Northside of Tier-5. They run protection rackets, underground casinos, sell drugs, and commit robberies. They have a longstanding feud with the Northside Pyros. They use primarily traditional guns and Heaters as weapons. They are mostly a human gang, although their name comes from the belief that they are werewolves, which was earned after they were found responsible for a series of brutal axe murders. They are not affiliated with any other gangs. Their graffiti is a white wolf or the letters NSW, and their gang colors are grey-on-white.

Their Leader

Name: Bjarni Raulsson (AKA “Jarl Fenrir”)
Bio: A male Secondary with short blond hair, blue eyes and pale skin. He's tall and very muscular (basically a bodybuilder). He wears a black wolf's pelt like a cloak, with the upper half of the skull still attached. The skull sits on his head like a hood, while the rest hangs from his shoulders. It's large enough that the rear legs and tail drag across the ground. He's generally bare-chested, but wears brown leather bracers on his forearms, loose, grey jeans, and black steel-toed boots. He uses a pair of steel knuckledusters in combat.
The Jarl is extremely laid back, lazy and condescending, as well as completely fearless. He's fond of claiming to be even stronger than a Space Marine, and generally overlooks the transgressions of his underlings, since he doesn't believe any of them could ever pose a threat to him.
He doesn't have any Powers, but is extremely strong and durable. Despite his great strength, though, he'd much rather lounge around in his Base and entertain himself by watching his minions struggle than actually go out to help them. It's likely the NSW would be substantially more powerful if he wasn't so lazy.

The Four Claws
The Claws are Jarl Fenrir's elites, and each is given responsibility over a certain portion of the NSW territory, since the Jarl is generally too lazy to look after it himself.

Name: Lana Augustus
Bio: A black, female Secondary of average height with an athletic build and bright pink hair styled in a mohawk. She usually dresses in a white vest, gray skinny jeans and black trainers. She wields a weapon of her own design; the Buzzflail. It's basically just a bunch of buzzsaws attached to some long chains on the end of a stick. It's also completely moronic. Her highest Stat is TEC, but even so it's more due to luck than skill that she hasn't killed herself yet (though she has managed to accumulate a few gruesome scars). She's intensely loyal to the Jarl, but not the smartest, and can be rather psychotic at times. Despite this, she's his second in command... mostly just because he finds her entertaining.

Name: Doreen Withers
Bio: A short, elderly, pale, female Secondary who keeps her grey hair tied in a bun. She dresses in a black leather biker jacket, a black t-shirt with a skull and crossbones on the front, grey & white camo-print cargo trousers, and black motorbike boots... and yes, she drives a motorbike. She's a witch with the ability to summon rabid animals in a puff of smoke. Given whose gang she's in, it should be obvious which ones she calls upon most. Her creatures vanish in a puff of smoke when someone kills them (which is a pretty easy thing to do), and are prone to attacking anyone who isn't her. She's extremely frail, senile, and has serious anger management issues... and is the next most influential subordinate after Lana.

Name: William Darrell
Bio: A male Secondary with ruddy, Caucasian skin. He has black hair which he keeps in a sumo-style top knot. He wears a white tracksuit with grey stripes on the arms & legs, and grey trainers. Will is grossly overweight, but also extremely tall and muscular. He fights like a sumo for the most part, not liking to use heaters or bullet-guns unless absolutely necessary. He also kinda stinks, since he sweats a lot, so the others generally avoid standing too near him. Unlike the rest of the Four Claws, though, he is calm, thoughtful and reasonably intelligent. Despite this, he's ranked lower than the two women for being 'too bland' in the Jarl's opinion.

Name: Reginald Bennerton (AKA “Shotgun Steve”)
Bio: An old, male Prime of average height with tanned skin and an athletic build. He has shoulder-length grey hair and a short, wispy beard. He wears an unbuttoned grey leather waistcoat, a pair of ragged, loose white jeans, and black, steel-toed boots. He dual-wields double-barrel shotguns in battle (and has a whole pile of backups) and despises all Secondaries... the Jarl keeps Steve as the lowest-ranking member of the Claws because it amuses him to no end to see him seething with hatred & envy. Steve is a cruel and petty man who will always take out his frustrations on those weaker than himself. He's generally accompanied by a few female Secondaries he summons himself, who drive his car and haul about his guns for him.

Notable Bases:
[spoiler]The Hardware Outlet
An enormous hardware store run by Lana Augustus' father, Giuliano. It used to be much smaller until Lana used drug money to fund a massive expansion. In return for her kindness, her father let her convert much of the storage space at the rear of the building into a huge, multi-story casino; the largest the Wolfpack owns, in fact. The employees of his store have all been recruited or replaced by gang members. Many of those who hang around here admire Lana's insanity and so emulate her by using customised power-tools as weapons (though none are as absurd as hers). Her father couldn't be more proud.

The Motorsport Emporium
Serving as a front business for one of the NSW's drug dealing operations, a garage, a store selling various car- and bike-related products, a petrol station, and a bar exclusively for bikers, all rolled into one, this huge yet grimy, oil-slicked building is Doreen Withers' main hangout. Its staff and most of its customers are big, mean bikers. The attached warehouse is normally filled with (stolen) motorbikes and cars, which they soup up and sell on.

The Pseudojo
Originally intended to be another front business for drug dealing, this one utterly failed at being a business, and so was turned into a production facility instead. William Darrell runs the place and recruits only the NSW's fattest individuals for his personal goons (though unlike him they're all perfectly willing to use guns). It's a tacky, run-down knock-off of a traditional Japanese dojo, which also has a boxing ring in one room and weightlifting equipment piled haphazardly in another. It has no clientele, and the staff regard anyone who enters with utmost suspicion. The basement, however, is an extremely advanced and well cared for laboratory and garden, which can produce all sorts of interesting drugs.

The Old Bar Casino
An ugly, run-down old pub with an extremely large basement-system with extravagantly expensive furnishings, which serves as the Wolfpack's second largest casino. It is staffed almost exclusively by utter morons, since the proprietor, Shotgun Steve, likes to surround himself with 'proof' that Secondaries are lesser beings.
The Old Bar Casino was not long ago raided and stripped of valuables by a stormtrooper squad and their pet Prime. It no longer serves as an NSW Base.[/spoiler]

[Luci]

Hijiri you are so cool!

[Small Knife]

For my new character I planned on making an NPC antag that was witchy and gang inspired, but I kinda dont want to have them affilated with the Hufflepunks, is it okay If add a new gang to the canon?

[Luci]

Go right ahead, Small Knife. It sounds really cool though, we'd love to have to you be a part of the Westside.

[Takanomiya Hijiri]

Hijiri you are so cool!

Thanks, I'm glad you approve. ^_^

[Blink]

I have a detective agency with a base in Coruscant if needs me to NPC it up.

[Luci]

Sounds dope Blink. We are going to be needing Imperial adversaries very shortly lol.

[Alexander Blakesley]

"The Hutts may rule the day, but they had better watch their shadows after sundown, the Luna Wolves are on the hunt, and we own the night."

Leader: Alexander "Black Wolf" Blakesley

Luna Wolves - A smaller, newer gang to emerge onto the battlefields of Coruscant's streets whose origins are unknown and prioritise the Hutt Mafia's operations. What set this gang apart from the likes of the Westside Alliance or the Orc Mafia; Is their professionalism, ruthless military efficiency and most deadly of all, their rapid mobile deployment. They are soldiers of fortune, disillusioned veterans, mechanical or synthetic personnel, and comrades in arms hoping to liberate their streets of the Orc and Hutt menace. In battle, they are undisputedly the most well-equipped, receiving Special forces level of training, a highly disciplined group of mercenaries who are generally feared by the fact that due to their fluid method of operating they could be anywhere, strike anywhere and vanish just as quickly as they appeared. The Luna Wolves use primarily modern to near future armaments, blunt and bladed weapons, explosives, and a fleet of military-grade vehicles to support their war effort against the Hutts. Led by the infamous Black Wolf, a Prime shrouded in mystery yet a horrifying sight to behold in combat. Enemies of the Luna Wolves utter his codename in hushed whispers out of fear that he would appear out of the shadows to slaughter them. After recovering his recently adopted daughter from a now exterminated slaver gang, the Black Wolf began carrying out hit and run strikes against the Hutt Mafia for their connection with the slaughtered group. Luna Wolves' primary activities are clandestine, arms dealing through proxies, assassinations, security protection and being information brokers to name a few. If a client requires their services, the Luna Wolves contacts the client and negotiate payment benefitting both parties. On the rare occasion the client finds these elusive wolves, they question the client's methods of finding them, review the information and fulfil the mission objective anyway as payment.

[Luci]

Cool af Alexander, I will update this thread soon

[Mickey Mouse]

This is awesome.

[Luci]

This is awesome.

Thank you mickey, it is still under construction tho. ALWAYS under construction!

[Takanomiya Hijiri]

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.

Gang Symbol:[spoiler]

[/spoiler]
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]

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]
