These are the Armies of the Night. They are 100,000 strong. They outnumber the cops five to one. They could run New York City.

This is a thread based around the late 70s cult classic film "The Warriors". The movie itself is about gang warfare in New York City, specifically about a gang known as The Warriors. In the movie The Warriors are forced to fight their way back to Coney Island after a gang sitdown goes wrong and the leader of the largest gang is assassinated and The Warriors are framed for it. I'd like to start this thread after the events of the movie, The Warriors name has been cleared and the Gramercy Riffs have eliminated the real assassins, The Rogues.

I'll need all sorts of characters to play the various gang members, and the choices are quite numerous.

The gangs are:
The Warriors: The Warriors gang is based in the western neighborhoods of Coney Island, on the edge of Brooklyn. Their gang uniform consists of a red pleather embroidered vest with the Warriors' logo on the back. The gang has an overall Native American theme, and their logo consists of an Indian head with eagle wings. This theme is accented by the Indian-style bead necklaces and armbands worn by some members. Their main stomping ground and base turf is among the many amusement park areas of Coney Island, particularly the landmark that is Deno's Wonder Wheel.

Turnbull ACs: Also going by the names Turnbulls, Bulls, or A.C.s. A bus-riding skinhead gang. They travel in large numbers and wear denim jackets and blue jeans.

The Orphans: A low-tier gang (who weren't invited to the gang sit down, nor did they even know about it). They are said to be at full strengh when theres about thirty. They wear green shirts with "ORPHANS" stitched into the back, and blue jeans. Their turf is Tremont. Their leader, Sully, is a coward, with a weakness for flattery.

The Baseball Furies: (or simply The Furies) A gang in pinstriped baseball uniforms, wielding baseball bats and wearing facial makeup similar to that of the rock group KISS, only multicolored instead of black and white. Most members wear gray uniforms with black stripes, and a few wear black uniforms with gray stripes.

The Lizzies: An all-female gang (possibly lesbian). Their turf is the Bowery.

The Punks: A gang with a leader who strolls around on rollerskates. Each member wears denim overalls over a different-colored striped shirt. They share the Bowery with The Lizzies.

The Gramercy Riffs: A well-organized gang from around Gramercy Park, said to be the biggest gang in the city. Cyrus was the leader of this gang before he was assassinated. After his death, the second in command, Masai, takes over. They are dressed in martial arts robes and pants.

The Hurricanes: The Hurricanes are a hispanic gang from Spanish Harlem. They dress in brown jeans and white wifebeaters.

The Boppers: from Harlem, Manhattan, they wear purple waistcoats, cream-coloured trousers and hats.

The Hi-Hats: These 'clowns' wear white face paint, red and black tops, with suspender trousers and come from Soho, Manhattan. They look like mimes.

The Savage Huns: From Chinatown Manhattan this Chiense gang dresses in green button up shirts and brown pointy hats.

There are many other gangs, but I didn't feel like listing anymore :)

So if you're interested in having a bit of fun wtih a movie classic, and are a good writer who can post on a semi-regular basis please post a character concept here for mine and Kuuroinocho's approval. :)
 
Name: Snow
Gang: The Warriors
Snow

One of the original Warriors, Snow was recruited the same time that Ajax was, after Cleon and Vermin defected from the Destroyers to form The Warriors. Snow was recruited to be the gangs muscle along with Ajax. Ajax is now in prison and Swan leads the Warriors as warchief so Snow represents the biggest bopper in The Warriors and as such sets a strong example for other the other Warriors to follow. He is quiet and reserved, but can handle himself well in a fight. Snows loyalty is 100% to The Warriors and has been an integral part in their rebuilding efforts after the night of the gang meeting. Many of the key members were killed or arrested, but Snow was one of the survivors and now is integral in bringing the gang back to their previous numbers. The Warriors are solely in control of Coney Island, and as such don't have to worry about jockeying for territory like many of the other gangs do.

Name: Hex
Gang: Lizzies

Current leader, Hex was involved in the city wide hunt for the Warriors upon Cyrus' death. While trying to seduce the Warriors and bring down their guard, she found herself respecting them a heck of a lot more after the beat down. The Lizzies went through an overhaul after that becoming tougher and more widely k known, partically in honor of the Warriors. Hex herself is pretty laid back yet though often thinking of new ways to put her girls on the map. Some say she's a tough cookie, she perfers it that way.
 
Hopefully we can get at least a couple more people before we start, I'll set up an RP thread once enough people have signed on.
 
Sounds like a plan, no one is on right now anyway so its cool...Yo!

Name: Fizz
Gang: Warriors

Fizz is one of the newest warriors, and as such he looks up to Snow and the rest of the older gang members. He has a cocky attitude but he is defiantly able to back it up when he needs to fight. He knows the warriors just got through a tough time, but hes ready to help them get back to the top, the already run Coney Island, hopefully that reach will soon extend further, but Fizz knows that it will take awhile for that to happen, they need to rebuild first.
 
I'll also be playing the role of any other Warriors that are needed :)
Goddamn it's like you read my mind Fizzter, I was working on the IC post and the whole first half is The Warriors initiating a new member, just need to change a name around and it's you!
 
Well I need to take off for about an hour. You two feel free to invite whoever you think would be good while I'm gone!
 
Eek!
I'll try, but I don't know this movie...

Name: Freak
Gang: Lizzies

Full of strange tendencies, Freak loves a good fight, even if she is laughing half the time. She idolizes Hex as the new leader, and is willing to do anything she orders. Still leery of the Warriors, she puts up a strong front towards them- though is incredibly curious about them.


(If this is bad, lemme know and I will go hide in a corner.)
 
There's not a lot to know about the movie really. Think... West Side Story, but with a lot more gangs, more freaky concepts behind the gangs, less dancing and a lot more swearing and fistfighting. My type of film :)
