Introduction
Birmingham, 1975. Anyone who is anyone knows about the Walker Gang, and they know not to cross them in any manner. The Walkers allow other criminals and minor gangs to operate, but take a cut of the profits for that pleasure. One such developing gang is lead by Anthony "Tony" Fletcher, the eldest of the Fletcher Brothers. For some time, they have followed the rules and stayed out of the way of the Walker Gang. However, as Tony's desire for more money and power grows, the gang has started to take bigger risks, which threaten to antagonise the Walkers.

Introduction
Birmingham, 1975. Anyone who is anyone knows about the Walker Gang, and they know not to cross them in any manner. The Walkers allow other criminals and minor gangs to operate, but take a cut of the profits for that pleasure. One such developing gang is lead by Anthony "Tony" Fletcher, the eldest of the Fletcher Brothers. For some time, they have followed the rules and stayed out of the way of the Walker Gang. However, as Tony's desire for more money and power grows, the gang has started to take bigger risks, which threaten to antagonise the Walkers.
This gang is typically seen as brawlers, unpolished, down to earth and more in touch with the working class. The gang is lead by the three brothers, with Tony as the leader. Tony's thirst for wealth and power could risk bringing more danger to their doorsteps.

- Underground gambling racket
- Armed robberies
- Fraud and illegal trading

- Allowed to operate in certain areas of town, but if they cross over where they don't belong they will upset the Walkers
This family is seen as having more class and rubs shoulders with the important public figures and the wealthy. Despite their place seeming to be firmly secured, the murder of Robert Walker's son two months ago threatens to open up vulnerabilities as the man is distracted by his determination to find out the killer's identity.
- Armed robberies
- Protection rackets
- Extortion rackets
- Bribery (cops, prominent figures/politicians)

(Please note, no cops, for the time-being.)
1. Misty Gray is the GM
2. Currently no limit on number of players and I'm happy for you to double up on characters.
3. Please only join if you can commit to posting at 1-2 times per week and don’t plan on leaving any time soon!
4. Romance is a wonderful thing and I encourage it, but fade to black if things become sexual.
5. This is an advanced/literature RP. Please try to write 2+ paragraphs per post. One-liners will make me sad.
6. Profanity is acceptable, within reason. No need to make it excessive.
7. Please be aware, the RP will deal with mature themes (violence, threats, drugs and other subjects you'd expect from this genre).
