[quote=@Ghost Note] [i]Either way[/i], I think we decided on everything we need to and I'm going to get started on the OOC. Now, if you guys could come up with some colorful gangs (or maybe some real ones idk) that'd be great. [/quote] Really interested in this. Hope there is room. My attempt at an NPC gang is below. [hider=Banshees] The Los Angeles chapter of the Banshees are certainly one of the more esoteric gangs that inhabit the city. Originating in San Bernardino, the Banshees could be considered a violent offshoot of the goth and neo-pagan subcultures that inspired their founders. Members dress in all black from head to toe and pale their faces and darken underneath their eyes (through the application of makeup if necessary). Like their namesake the Banshees have adopted a unique screech/wail that fulfills a variety of purposes such as acting a greeting or warning; a non-member performing this screech is equivalent to a layperson wearing gang colors...a beatdown of the offender is sure to ensue. The Banshees are not strictly a female exclusive gang, but those not identifying as female (known colloquially as 'Fringers') only exist on the periphery of the organization as they are not permitted to partake in group rituals or recite initiation vows. Potential Members known as 'Seekers' are subject to an intense initiation where they are expected to cut ties with their past-selves. Those who are eventually initiated take the title of 'Sister' and are given a new given a new name by the High Priestess of the Chapter. The Los Angeles chapter makes their headquarters in the dilapidated Evergreen Cemetery. [/hider]
