The Royals
By Uriko Zenovka

TYPE: Street Gang

MEMBERS: frownclown, apacalypze

BACKGROUND: The Royals, AKA The Clown Royals and Card Sharks, started as a union of inner-city circus performers that hit the streets after their employer disbanded and others wouldn't take them in due to their unique...personalities. In the time after, they began drug dealing as well as weapon and human trafficking, and members that weren't circus-folk were indoctrinated. The leader has various titles(Joker, Ace, or Ringmaster) making him hard to pin down as far as ranking. Other members are ranked by card titles, King, Queen, Jack, and Deuce, with Deuce being the 2nd lowest rank, the lowest are just called performers. They move from city to city, depending on how much unwanted attention they gather, however, slivers of the gang tend to be left behind.

UNIQUE: They would start at the Icky-Quickie mart, just to get a foothold. The goal is to open a business as a front(they favor magic shops). General interaction with the hired help will be friendly and everything they'd expect, communication with the gang would require invitation or specific questioning.

FLAW: Gang leaders tend to be aloof and do their own dealings, and strong organized efforts tend to be a chore for them to get together.

POTENTIAL ENEMY: Given the nature of the businesses, the Yhengs and possibly the Cult would be looked at as potential partners.

EXPERIENCE:Long time on SecondLife, have done many things in many places. I am easy to communicate with, and love to chat. I have a soft, but strong hand when it comes to dealing with drama, and can generally defuse a situation in regards to problems. I have been staff at many businesses, and admin in a few different sims.

IDEAS:They would be engaged professionally and nicely. I would want the front of the business to be welcoming and generally safe feeling.

OTHER:Given the nature of the businesses, the Yhengs and possibly the Cult would be looked at as potential partners.
