Paul Adams served his country in Vietnam. He did things over there that be could not speak on, things he found no joy in. When he returned to his hometown of Asada, Nevada he was a changed man, something dark was eating away inside of him, begging to be let out. Around the same time, Paul’s childhood friend Don McWilliams has just been released from prison. Don was a hard working man, caught up in a bad situation. He was arrested for assaulting his sisters would be rapist. Broken by the systems that let them down, Paul and Don would gravitate back towards each other, bonded by their trauma and love of motorcycles. Soon other like minded individuals, Charles Shakir and Hector Alejandro would join them and within a year, the Iron Tribe Motorcycle Club was born. Iron Tribe’s numbers swelled in the 70’s as did the entire MC culture. By 1971, several new ITMC charters had been opened in new cities across the country. Hangman Adams and Donnie Mac served as the clubs President and VP respectively. In 1972, members of the club were attacked in a bar by another MC called the Reapers. It was this assault that transformed the Iron Tribe from being a simple group of motorcycle enthusiasts into being fully fledged criminals. At first, they were simply protection for local businesses, becoming vigilantes against the crime that spilled over from nearby Las Vegas. Within a few years, the club degenerated further and began running guns, dabbling in porn and gambling. The cocaine boom of the 80’s saw the MC finally joined the drug game. Hangman was very much against this but Mac was not. A feud began between the two friends which split the club in half. Mac broke off from the Tribe and started his own club, Lilith’s Horsemen in the neighbouring town of Goodsprings. The rivalry between the Tribe and the Horsemen reaches a bloody peak in the summer of 1989 as more than half of each club was wiped out in several violent massacres. Worn down by the bloodshed, Hangman stepped down as President in 1990 and was replaced by his son, Billy Boy. Hangman would stay on as an advisor for the club well into his elder years. Under Billy’s leadership, the club entered into the 21st century with a bang. The old ways were dead and it was a new millennium. The Tribe entered into drugs and murder for hire. Now the Iron Tribe have become synonymous with bike culture and are treated like heroes in their hometown. Now in 2018 and unbeknown to them, forces conspire in secret to tear the club apart. With many enemies on both sides of the law, the club must fight to protect itself and its home from those that seek to destroy its lasting brotherhood. It’s now the summer and Billy Boy’s daughter, Roxy is getting married. The world around them is changing and the Iron Tribe will need to change with it if they want to survive.[/indent][/indent] [hider=MC Information] Founded: 1968, Asada, Nevada Founders: “Hangman” Paul Adams, Donald “Mac” McWilliams, Charles “The Jamaican” Shakir, “Havana” Hector Alejandro.

Our goal is to build a world through the relationships these characters have with each other and society as a whole. You do not have to be a member of the club, you can be a cop, civilian, relative anything really within reason. This will be an 18+ rp with many references to violence, drugs, sex and discrimination, it is not for the faint hearted. As time transpires, other gangs and factions will enter the fray as we create the sordid world of crime and debauchery. These can be played by myself and the other gms or by you guys. The possibilities are endless.
