1% ((OOC Casting Thread))

[LitShark]

Roughly ninety-nine percent of Americans live their lives according to accepted standards of law and order. The people you meet at the super-market or see mowing their lawns on Sunday afternoons. All working jobs, paying taxes, following rules and doing their best to prosper within the confines of the status quo. Ninety-nine out of every hundred people within the United States live and die, never knowing that the other one percent even exists.

It is within that one percent that we find groups of individuals living just as oblivious to the other side of this little equation. These are dangerous groups who recognize no law or authority aside from their own: neo nazis, terrorists, street gangs and motorcycle clubs all embrace the lifestyle of these self proclaimed "one-percenters". They occupy small remote areas of forest, remote bars and forgotten corners of the inner city; far enough from civilized society to ensure their most sacred privacy.

This is the story of one such group of one-percenters, known only as the Grim Disciples Motorcycle Club. The Grim Disciples operate within twenty states, flaunting their affiliation with "Burners" stitched onto the backs of leather vests or jackets. The Club has gone unchecked and uncontested for years, nearly cornering the market on meth in the states where they have established a presence. The smuggling and sale of illegal firearms, prostitution, production of pornography and unlicensed bars also fell neatly under the wing of the GDMC.

The transient, close knit nature of these individuals made it nearly impossible to convict any one person of any specific crimes. Most local authorities were content to merely tax the club, being paid to turn a blind eye when suspicions were aroused.

A tentative truce between the law enforcers and the Disciples existed for years, until the emergence of a rival gang: The Cutthroats MC.

No one to this day remembers who struck first (naturally each side blames the other), but the first wave of violence hit the West Coast like a wildfire.

Suddenly the one-percenters were becoming impossible to ignore. Gunfire and bloodshed occured on a nightly basis anywhere the turf overlapped, causing widespread panic and indignation among the more vocal ninety-niners.

Citizens banded together, demanding restitution and the authorities were forced to respond.

As more and more bikers wound up dead in the streets, more and more high-level police and detectives were fired. Soon even the chief of police was fired and replaced by a young and ambitious newcomer, poor in experience but rich in ambitious ideals and ethics.

What followed was an all out War in American streets, setting the Grim Disciples, Cutthroats and police in a death struggle for dominance.

***

OOC: So I'm attempting a motorcycle gang thread, sort of in the vein of "The Lost and The Damned" from GTA. I'm casting for bikers on both sides, and biker chicks of course. I also need police and even some randoms to keep things spicy, whatever inspires you.

Lead roles I need are the police chief and also the leader of the Cutthroats (not married to that name, if someone has a better idea I'll take it).

If its done right this ought to be good fodder for a lot of deviant sex and gratuitous violence (two of my favorite things), if these aren't your cup-o-tea then be forewarned. I'm pretty flexible with the casting and such, but I'm going to need more than just a few to do this justice.

Name: Soren Moriarty
AKA: Hawkeye, The Hawk, Birdman, Grim Talon
Age: 34
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 275 lbs.
Position: Reaper (Designation given to city leaders)
Affiliation: Grim Disciples M.C.

Attitude: Soren fends for himself, always has, and expects others to be equally qualified. He generally keeps to himself when not around his fellow Disciples, but among them he is a God. When pushed Soren becomes even more quiet and remote until he reaches his limit at which point he becomes capable of nearly anything.

Bio: The son of a Marine who served in Viet Nam, Soren learned discipline at a young age. He also learned about a life on the road when his parents split up. Soren never forgave his mother for leaving his father, building a deep seeded hatred for her each time they were forced to move to prevent his Father from finding them. Though he never knew all the details, he set out to find his father the day he turned eighteen.

The long road to his father ended when Soren uncovered the new family his father had found. What began as a group of jaded and rebellious war vets evolved into the Grim Disciples, of which Soren's dad was one of the founding members. Soren joined the club without a second thought, delighted to at last be a part of his father's life.

When the violence between the GDMC and their rival erupted, Soren's old man was at the tip of the spear, waging violent gun battles over various counties. When the backlash came, Soren's father was one of the first cut down, murdered in his sleep to avenge those he had killed.

Soren perpetuated the cycle of revenge when he hunted down and killed his father's murderers, but he had been reckless in his persuit, leaving enough evidence to be prosecuted for murder one. After a plea bargain, the charges were knocked down to manslaughter.

Five years later, Soren was on the streets again. Promoted to the leader of his father's old city. The time spent behind bars has only furthered his hate for the group responsible for his father's death.

Bump for the day shift.

Looks like a very cool idea. I'd love to be a biker chick but I'd prefer to be one who is acquired en-route & broken into her new life by force. I recently started a one on one thread featuring a biker gang but the writer has flaked on me. I'll put a profile up sometime today for your consideration. Xx

[Last_Rider]

Not sure if you'd like someone expressing interest here or not, but I'm interested. I can do most anything, so who I play can be felxible.

Any fan of Harley Quinn is a friend of mine. It sounds perfect for the kind of thing I had in mind, and FYI breaking by force is my wheelhouse (to paraphrase an American sports cliche).

I'll be looking forward to your "good-girl gone bad" bio, not to step on your creative elbow room but a juicy angle might be for your character to be married to an addict (gambling or drugs or whathaveyou) who might owe money to the bikers... just a thought.

Not sure if you'd like someone expressing interest here or not, but I'm interested. I can do most anything, so who I play can be felxible.

Glad to have interested writers. Its really up to you what side you want to play from. Your name makes me think you'd be a good soldier for the other side, but it'd also be great to have a bad-ass biker cop riding along with the crackdown.

Naturally it'll be easier to plot and scheme once you both post profiles. We'll work from there.

I'd love to join! I'm new but have done sites like these before. I'd be interested in a being an officer who is seduced into becoming a biker. Is that an okay idea?

Name: Katie
Age: 25
Height: 5ft
Weight: 90lb
Tits: 32B
Hair: Mid length and dyed a deep red
Eyes: Green
Skin: Fair [pic to be attached once I've found one.]

Katie was a good student with good prospects until her parents divorced and she went off the rails a bit. She got into rock/metal music and started going to gigs with a new group of friends who didn't worry about things like school or rules. Katie started dating Vince, the handsome singer of a metal band called 'Transfixion' who was convinced they were going to make it big. They gigged around and Katie developed fondnesses for ecstasy, speed and cocaine, mellowing with a joint when she was done partying. They lived in a beat up trailer and went anywhere they got a gig. The band was actually pretty good but their heavy drug use dented their drive and ambition somewhat. One fateful day Transfixion argued for the last time and disbanded. Katie woke up to discover she was 22 and had never had a proper job. She told Vince she was tired of living on the road and by this time he was disillusioned too so they settled back in the city. They both took crappy jobs and soon became thoroughly depressed.

Then Vince started playing cards. He turned out to be pretty good at it too. Before a year had passed, he was making decent money out of playing poker. Vince played local gangsters and bikers, shady people who rolled high and asked no stupid questions. They quit their crappy jobs and upgraded their walk-up to a chic little apartment. Katie sometimes went and watched him play but mostly, women were not allowed. Bored and solvent, she started drinking heavily and they both got back onto cocaine, partying much of their money away and gambling the rest of it.

Lately Vince has been more uptight and less inclined to put his hand in his pocket. Katie knows something is up but unless Vince wants to discuss it, asking pointed questions will only cause a blazing row. Katie has become sullen and withdrawn, hoping Vince will fill the silence and tell her what the fuck he has been up to.

It would be a fantastic idea. I'm looking forward to what your character will be like.

[Mephistophelily]

Name: Nadia Della Rossa
AKA: Vegas
Age: 27
Height: 5 ft 7
Weight: 130 lbs
Position: Head of Prostitution House
Affiliation: Caters to the Grim Disciples in particular

Attitude: Nadia has a rather "Fuck the World" view. Not that she hates everyone; no, it's more the literal take on the saying- she would like to fuck the world. She thinks that everyone's problems can be dealt with between the sheets (or wherever the case may be). She believes that she and her girls are doing their part to help take the stress and anger out of the lives of others, in their own special way. Anyone that messes with her girls, however, should be fully aware that this openly sexual woman has quite the anger streak. It's best not to piss her off.

Bio: Vegas inherited the title of Head of the House from her sister, who was killed in one of the first unannounced visits from the Disciples' newest "buddies". Infuriated at first at the unwanted intruders stopping her in the middle of work, both she and the biker she had been ... entertaining... came from the small bedroom to find gun and knife wielding lunatics destroying the place. Julia, Vegas' big sister, was attempting to threaten them out with a shotgun, only to be shot herself by a man trying to wrestle her against the wall.

Vegas went nuts.

Since then, she's been doing her part to help out the Grim Disciples, even taking to a little bait and switch(blading) of any Cutthroats dumb enough to stick their heads in the House. She insists, however, on letting these guys die with a smile- at last by her hands, even if it makes her sick to deal with.

She has an affinity for two rather opposite ends of the spectrum; guns and glam, hence her nickname. She also likes to keep the same motto as the city she's name after: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. This bisexual young woman is willing to try anything once- even if it doesn't involve bedroom antics.

Fabulous as always Lily! Welcome.
Just in case there was some confusion, the "Grim Disciples" is the name of the actual gang. "Reaper" is a rank within that gang, like Captain or Colonel in the army... you get the idea.

I'm excited that this seems to be picking up steam.

[Mephistophelily]

Whoops! Snagged wrong word. Lemme go change that real quick....

[Last_Rider]

Name: Christian Roberts
Alias: None currently
Age: 27
Hair: Light Brown
Eyes: Grey
Height: 6'2
Weight: 205 lbs
Build: Well muscled, though not as defined as he'd like
Position: Police officer
Affiliation: Undeclared


Bio:

Christian was actually born in London, his mother was there visiting family with his father when she went into labor. They returned the the states a few months later. Christian had shown great aptitude in a variety of subjects growing up, but had never been drawn to anything.

He spent a year in college before deciding it didn't appeal to him. Despite being perfectly suited to normal life, Christian was drawn to the fringes of society. It was quieter there, and it appealed to his more feral nature. He'd become a cop in a smaller town at first, just liking the pace, the freedom.

The Grim Disciples had made his town a regular stop a year or so after he'd started living there. The local sheriff didn't want trouble, and just took his kick backs and stayed out of the way. Christian had taken his que from that, mostly staying out of the line of sight of the gang. When he'd been promoted he'd worked a better relationship with the club, again mostly following the "don't ask don't tell" rule.

Then, all hell had broken loose.

Christian wasn't a politician, but knew enough to know that public sentiment was a bitch to deal with. As people around him were fired, he'd kept his head down, worked a few club members into jail to keep his name good, and avoided the mass firings.

He was now second in command, and his new job had been made perfectly clear to him: he was to do everything he could to stop the violence. Unfortunately, everything he could do involved a great deal of violence. The new chief was a bit too idealistic to have handled such news with grace, so Christian kept it quiet.

Now he patrolled a lot, most of his gear wasn't exactly standard issue. He rode a re-tooled Harley, carried a .357 Magnum set cross-draw style on his left hip, a 6" Ka-Bar knife was strapped horizontally in the small of a his back, and his favorite toy, a short double barrel shot gun in a holster on his right thigh (think Mel Gibson's weapon from Road Warrior).

OOC: I have a pretty good picture of this guy, but didn't want to post everything right away to potentially force anyone else into a creative corner. There's a few things I can alter, or that I left up in the air to work with others who express interest.

[LitShark]

Sounds good Rider, welcome.

I'm going to get started on the IC tonight but I'm probably going to hold off until we fill all the principal roles. I'm looking forward to where this goes and its shaping up quite nicely.

If domehard submits a police officer profile it'd be an interesting angle for you two to be partners. Then when/if she gets taken in by one or the other of the gangs it would create a nice little conflict for you to get her back. I'm jumping ahead a little bit, but we'll figure it out.

I still need a Police Chief and a leader for the other gang, both roles are gender neutral.

[DoMeHard12349]

I'll be the chief, but idk if you want the chief seduced. ;D haha.

[DoMeHard12349]

Alicia Snyder
26 years old
34D
5'9''
145 pounds, but most of it is muscle.
Very slim waist and an attractively large ass.
Is the chief of police
Auburn long hair.
Trying to bring down the Reapers with every ounce of her strength.

Alicia is a tall, sexy police woman who is one of hardest hard asses you'll meet. She won't take anyone's crap and refuses to give up on hunting down the Reapers. She lived in England for the first 16 years fo herlife, giving her a faint accent. She moved to the USA with her family in hopes of finding a better treatment for her mother's cancer. Sadly her mother died, putting her through so much pain and trauma that she refuses to elt anyone see her weak.

She wants the world to see the good in everything, not fight and kill, that's why she became an officer.


I will add to this later but I need to think some more. sorry its short!

Um, not that I don't think you'd do a great job as the chief, I'd prefer to have someone with just a tad more experience for that role. You're welcome to play a cop but its sort of important that the chief be uncorruptable, which I doubt you'd have as much fun with.

Rider still needs a partner.

I like it, don't sweat the length but I'd rather have Alicia as a "beat cop", putting her more directly in danger. Also the name of the main gang is "Grim Disciples", I'm sorry if that was confusing.

[LitShark]

I've decided to set this story in a city called Alturas, CA. Its a very small town that's close to Nevada and Oregon. The county is Modoc county, so affiliation for police characters would be Alturas Police Dept. or Modoc County Sheriff's Dept.

Player's choice. In this way we have room for more leaders and such, maybe when things get crazy some friction between the Sheriff's Dept. and the Police Dept.

Hope that helps.

Sounds good litshark, I do love that area of the country.

[gagonthis]

Name: Johnny O'Shien
AKA: Jack the Mick, Jack the Joker
Age: 28
Height: 6'0
Weight: 165 lbs. wiry strength is belied by his somewhat slim frame.
Hair: Dirty brown
Eyes: Penetrating steel grey
Position: War Chief (one of the main heads of the Cutthroat clan)
Affiliation: Cutthroat MCs

Attitude: Jack is a sadist at heart, an anarchist who takes no more joy than watching the world burn around him. A touch of insanity tinges every decision he makes, but underneath the random chaos lies an brightly intelligent mind and the will to see things done his way. Fear is his primary means of controlling his gang, both by being too badass to be knocked off and by allowing his soldiers to strike terror into the civvies wherever they went.

Bio: A first generation immigrant to America, Johnny came over from Belfast during end of The Troubles. A bright eyed Provo member, Johnny learned to embrace the chaos and love of violence early in his life, setting car bombs, shooting up pubs, using terror to sow discord, Johnny was disgusted when his mates lost the stomach for the conflict, the inevitable negotiations becoming more and more a reality as the years marched closer to '98.

Quite a few soldiers were less than thrilled to see the peace process coming, believing the only way to secure freedom for Ireland would be to bomb the English till they grew too weary to continue the fight, adapting the techniques of the Vietcong. So they attempted to halt the talks the only way they knew how.

The bomb went off early though, sloppy work on his mate's part, and took out a bus full of innocent civilians, which was not an issue of itself, except they weren't proddies. The fallout from the failed attempt was enough to drive Johnny out of Ireland across the ocean to land in America. It didn't take long for him to find the action, an able hand with a firearm and a knack for taking the piss out of anyone who gave him a hard time, he quickly grew his rep, taking his set to new heights as he sowed terror across the greater California area.

Fantastic! Welcome Gag, thanks for joining.

I'm tempted to get things going sooner than later, but I'd prefer to have this thing closed by the time we kick things off and the odds are kinda tilted at the moment. Of course it goes without saying that there will be plenty of NPCs on both sides, but I'd like to get at least one more player on your side and our police chief.

domehard, if you really want to be a chief I think it'd be good to have you be the Captain of the county Sheriff's dept. That way you can still be in charge but also get corrupted without weakening the Police.

This is shaping up nicely.

[Drakkwall]

Man am I interested! I think I will make a black biker, would that be okay?

[slippedhalo]

Can I make occasional cameo's as someone's sister who is extremely hot, shelters the gang at her house (inherited from their dead parents) from time to time, provides them with cash and supplies when they need it, but is otherwise not a bikerchick? She remains in the hometown, a waitress by night, a part time student by day. One of the gang members and she perhaps once had a relationship and there's still a lot of heat between them when they're together.

Is this possible?

It's not only possible it sounds great. Its up to you which side you want to represent, for but you'll likely become a target for the other side as things get heated, especially if you're the sister of a high ranking biker.

Man am I interested! I think I will make a black biker, would that be okay?

Yes a black biker would be great! If it's all the same to you, it'd be good to see you align with the Cutthroats, to keep things nice and even-ish.

I'm going to PM some candidates for Police Chief and get writing on the debut post. I hope to get it up tonight in the wee small hours of morning, if not then, tomorrow afternoon.
