Okay, so far this is all we have on the Brickhouse Boys:

Brickhouse Boys

"The Brickhouse Boys are named after the many brick tenement buildings in their area. Like the rest of the multitudes of gangs in Redmond they struggled to scratch out an existence through the various vices they could provide to the public in their turf. Preceding the big ‘Dust up’ the Brickhouse Boys had finally stumbled upon a decent moneymaking scheme. Instead of just stealing cars to joyride or crash up, they began to strip them for parts. Running a chop shop is more like regular work than some of them were used to but, the payoff in the end was good.

Before the demise of the Brickhouse Boys they could be seen wandering their turf in their signature Navy Pea-coat styled Jackets peddling their wares to the degenerate masses. While they had a stranglehold on the drugs and chips in the area, the sex business was harder to control. Many of the pimps just paid cursory protection money and the few freelance girls paid in sexual favors, often enough not willingly. The gangs pad was a constant party place at night with lots of women around. The pimps trying to keep the protection money as low as it could be sent over girls and, there is always a local girl looking for protection, love and acceptance as well as a way up in the world."


Since so many of us have new characters who came from the Brickhouse, it would be a good idea for us to come together and flesh out the details of the gang. Now, many of us who are having our characters come from the Brickhouse are vehicle-oriented, and so would naturally have worked in the chopshop. Important points, as I see them:

-Where is/was our beloved chopshop?
--Did it get destroyed? (Note: unless someone here has access to a Shop or Facility that they've paid for with chargen funds, this is likely to have happened.)
--If it did get destroyed, how come all us mechanics didn't blow up with it?
-Did we have possession of any other buildings?
--Did they get destroyed?
-How well did we know each other?
--Where are the rest of our gangers?
--How did they die?
-Other details
--What are our colors?
--What's with the jacket thing?

Anything I missed?
