The Life and Times of One Kevin Crimes
A metaplot revolving around the ineffable Mr. Kevin Crimes, a lieutenant in the Cutters who gets caught up in conflicts between the Cutters and the Crimson Crush, which he helps exacerbate and/ or escalate, often unwittingly.
Factions
The Cutters
Spanning nearly the entire Seattle Sprawl, the Cutters are Crimes' organization, or rather he is their functionary. In seeking to secure and expand their territory, they are clashing with the Crush, who are strongly protective of the trogs of Redmond.
Goals
- Weaken the Crush
- Steal their business
- Preserve their power
The Crimson Crush
A mid-tier go-gang in Redmond, the Crimson Crush are staunchly territorial, seeking to serve the neighbourhood welfare of the region in Redmond they call their home even as they enrich themselves off of vice. Their territory stretches east of Touristville, and they don't take kindly to intrusion, particularly distrusting humans.
Goals
- Maintain their territorial hegemony
- Protect the interests of their community
- Stick it to the smoothskins, if they can
