Minneapolis/St. Paul

Gang Focus:

This is the 2050's version of the Neo-Nazi skin heads, with suspected ties to Alamos 2000. The Blue Bloods are comprised entirely of humans, with a strong emphasis towards male membership. The Blue Bloods are attempting to bring back the old ways of life, often citing the late 20th century politician Pat Buchanan on "family values." Unfortunately this gang is finding a large following by non-members living in the Minneapolis Barrens. It is rumored that Lone Star is planning some intense raids on their headquarters.

Leader:

Grif, a human male with some fairly major augmentations leads this gang. Most of his augmentations are rumored to come from some Japanese corporate backers.

Lieutenants: 4

• Jacks, a human male that makes up for his lack of brains with an extraordinary amount of brawn.
• Exploding IQ, a human male that makes up for his lack of brawn with an extraordinary IQ. He runs the day to day operations of the gang.
• Meth, a human male that is currently going through his latest drug withdrawal. He maintains his status by being entirely unpredictable. Most everybody is afraid to approach him.
• Jewel, a human female that is Grif's main squeeze. She doesn't really have any power, most people are afraid of Grif, and therefore leave her alone.

Gang Rating: Equal

Head Count: Approximately 50-80 full time members, more non-gang followers.

Initiation Rites:

The Blue Bloods are probably the easiest gang to become a member. They require the assassination of any important metahuman as an initiation rite. This assassination is planned by all the members of the gang, the initiate is required only to pull the trigger, push the button, etc.

Uniforms:

The colors of The Blue Bloods are royal purple and black. They will wear the black clothing with purple bandanas. These colors are merely suggested, not required, and many gang members wear other colors.

Symbols:

Their symbol consists of a dwarvish skull impaled on a large stake. This symbol can be found everywhere, included spray painted wherever the murder of a metahuman has occurred.

Territory:

The Blue Bloods claim the south side of the Minneapolis Barrens, from 35W to 55, south to the frontier.

Operations:

The Blue Bloods have many method of obtaining their nuyen. There are strong suspected ties to both the Yaks and other large Japanese companies. This also means that The Blue Bloods have SOTA equipment and should be considered very dangerous.

Foes:

The Blue Bloods believe that any metahuman is their enemy, but focus intensely on The Bulldogs, who share a border with them, and The Razor Ears. The Blue Bloods also have a constant turf war with the Free Zone Frontier Forces, and have been successful in disabling Charon for short periods of time.

Uniqueness:

It is believed that these Japanese companies actually agree with the Blue Bloods, and are attempting to clean out The Minneapolis Barrens Free Zone. They plan on buying all the cheap land and re-open the city. There are other conspiracies afoot with this group, but little is actually known about their true intentions.
