overview.
The Dead River MC is a biker gang based outside of and operating within Boston and the surrounding area. While predominantly concerned with many sundry crimes, they are also inescapably tangled in a web of local criminal politics. Between keeping the local mob happy, keeping the Saints of Ragnarok at bay, and making sure they keep clean of the cops, they are very busy folks.
Also, some of them have superpowers. That complicates things.
The Dead River MC's claim to fame is their invention of a drug that suppresses powers, which they sell to anyone needing to squeak their way up in society by passing entrance tests to prove they're unpowered.
Touchstones: Sons of Anarchy, Weeds, Breaking Bad, classic X-men, Heroes, Masks: the ttrpg, VE Schwab's Villains series, Watchmen, and Arknights. This is a super power motorcycle gang rp for people who maybe liked none of the things listed as touchstones. Emphasis is on character dynamics, interactions, and mundane danger like cops and getting shot. This will be a tightly gmed rp, and heavily plot driven. Please do not bring a marvel/dc flavored hero or villain to this story. This is also primarily not intended as an rp for romance--if it happens, it happens, but romantic relationships will not be the main focus.
This is an 18+ rp with horror elements dealing with themes of violence, drugs, body horror, and death. Please do not apply if you will have issues with these, as it will be basically impossible to write around. There will also be an application process for characters. As far as powers, we're not going to define what is/isn't allowed too strictly, but generally we're looking for concise concepts, very classic X-men in brevity but able to be used cleverly in scope. No one in the crew is going to be too highly powerful most likely, unless they're actively trying to hide it.
OOC will be on Discord exclusively.
roles
roles.
president
taken
The head honcho. Charlie's the founder of the club. She's a drop out pharmaceutical scientist and unfuckwithable butch. Though she's got to listen to what the chairs think, she's the one calling the shots.
vp
taken
The right hand man. Cathal's just a little guy. Don't worry about it. (:
chairs
open
Secretary, treasurer, road captain, sergeants-at-arms, ect. The guys sitting underneath the pres and vp in the chain of command, who are present at every meeting and have sway in what the club does and how it operates. They'll have been with the club for some time, and were voted in.
patched members
open
Full members of the club, complete with voting rights, but no special duties or titles. Doing a lot of the day-to-day grunt work, but trusted to handle themselves.
probies
open
You want to be in the club. You just haven't gotten there yet. If you can put up with being sent to the autoparts store for blinker fluid for a year or so, it just might happen.
affiliates
open
You're not in the club, but your sister is, or your best friend, or somebody. You may or may not know everything that's going on, but you're usually involved more than anyone would like, including you.
rules
other factions.
The Aurora Syndicate.
The local mob, made up of various superpowered entities. Wants the superpowered members of the DRMC to work for them. Allies, but like. Nervously. Bigger fish on the crime hierarchy. Based out of Boston proper.
*Naiysu Quill: head of the Aurora Syndicate. Tiny, albino, unfailingly polite.
*Devin Murphy: Quill's second in command and protégé. Tiny, freckled, eminently punchable.
*Seph: small time Syndicate contact in Manchester. The guy your DARE class warned you about.
The Family.
Strong Brotherhood of Evil vibes. Mutant rights/mutant supremacy is one of their main goals. A sort of mutual aid activist group with hidden extremist tendencies trying to recruit and influence in any direction. They’re a new force in the world and the wild card. Base location uncertain.
*Insomnia: You're not sure exactly what her role in the Family is, but she's the one you bump into the most. Not to be fucked with.
The Saints of Ragnarok.
Want the DRMC to patch in under them. Don’t like competition and don’t play nice. Rivals, despite that they are also bigger fish. Some 10 years ago they did team up with the Dead River MC to obliterate the local Nazi biker group, but the alliance didn't outlast the mutual enemy.
*Wolf: the president of the Saints. Reasonable, responsible, and ruthless.
Cops.
The Law. Deliciously, the various law enforcement offices don't always get along.
*Finn Dolan: US Marshall. Proves that being lawful good is not the same as being nice.
*Christopher Faulkner: Dead River's sheriff. Thinks that having the DRMC around keeps worse criminals away.
Locals.
It's a small town, everyone knows everyone, for better or worse.
*Feliks Alkaev: The undertaker, and our friend in the morgue. He is soft spoken, incredibly tidy and has a thick Slavic accent.
*Tom Finch: A med school drop out like Charlie, the two of them have invented a drug that suppresses powers. NBD
*Kitty McKay: Cathal's little sister. She hangs out with the gang often, but her crew is the local roller derby team. Pigtails and a baseball bat.
