New Gangs

Author: Mark <santaro@inwind.it>

The Rednecks

Tag: The Confederate flag with two rifles crossed on it.

Colors: Red handkerchief on their necks, sometimes jeans and cowboy hats.

Allied: no one.

Enemy: every gang like the Flying Dragons. They want to wipe out every stranger from their territories.

Cyberware: Usually some of them have Cop. for vehicles, and few have cyberlimbs.
Threat level: B

A large group of rude american guys, their chief is a man named Uncle Biff. They are rather peaceful if you don’t mess with them. This means avoiding to cross their territory without invitation and annoying them while they’re fighting their enemies. They have not powerful weapons, just shotguns, revolvers, carbines and few automatic rifles (mainly old weapons), besides molotov bombs. Instead they have good vehicles (trucks, motorcycles, pickups…), all with their simbol on it. In this Gang there are also few Solos (Biff’s bodyguards, with hats and coats, very good with revolvers) and some Poser (that look like Elvis), and they’re accepted and considered members.

Shadow Ninjas

Tag: a black shadow on a red background.

Colors: when in mission they wear a black home-made ninja suit.

Allied: no one.

Enemy: well, a lot of people who can’t stand them.

Cyberware: Chips for martial arts, claws and other weapons like that.

Threat level: C

They’re “ninja wannabees”, boys that saw a lot of action movies and decided to act like the American Ninja Heroes. Anyway a lot of them prefer to use their skills to earn money and their gang work as a guild of assassins. They act as ninjas and hired killers because they like it, but they’re not real ninjas! Maybe they know a martial art (but not ninjitsu), they have some useful skills, but every real ninja, corporative guard or solo can defeat them in combat.

Stats: Average Shadow Ninja.

Reptiles

Tag: a green lizard.

Colors: they all have artificial scaly skin.

Allied: no one.

Enemy: it’s simple: if they don’t like somebody they will kill him.

Cyberware: Claws, fangs, every kind of illegal weapon, sometimes with venom injectors.

Threat level: B

They’re a group of strange guys that like a lot reptiles. They replaced their human skin with artificial scaly skin to look like reptiles. Everyone has a name like Snake, Lizard, Anaconda, Constrictor and so on. The boss is a mad man called Kobra Killer. Mad because he used all his money for his skin, claws, eyes and fangs with injectors. But he looks like a human snake and that’s why he’s the boss. A lot of Reptiles owns heavy handguns, because they’re always looking for money to spend for their implants. So pay attention.

Stats: Average Reptile.
