Gang Ideas

[Lavecki121]

Hey Guys, I'm looking for some inspiration. Trying to come up with a bunch of thematic gangs that I can make.

Something like "The Seven Deadly Sins" or "The Royal Flush Gang"

Just as many ideas as possible would be really helpful. Thanks all.

The Four Elements. Or the Five Elements.

Chess pieces.

The four seasonal/directional beasts in Chinese myth.

The Major Arcana of the tarot.

The Legion could be a Biker Gang with puppet clubs called Auxiliaries. Maybe the Lost Roman Legion gained immortality by serving some a Dragon. They could make a nice counterbalance to Einherjaar (sp) say.

EDIT: Legion also has demonic possession connotations if you want to go that route

By the way for what rp is this for if I may ask? Setting, plot, level (i.e. submerged, submarine) e.t.c.

Pseudo Old West. Not sure beyond that. Want a couple of gangs for the PC's to be able to hunt down for bounties

[Taran]

The Apple Dumpling Gang

Pseudo Old West? So like Steampunkesque?

You could do play on names of Old West cards and gambling stuff. Like Texas Hold 'Em Up or hehe Five Hard Studs O.o. Otherwise thing's like  Rough Riders, Devil Riders or anything Riders will do.

You could also put aspects and situations of Blood Feuds, like Hatfield and Mccoy's Were Lightweights. Stuff like that.

Girl-gang, named for precious stones.  Leader is "Diamond" of course, but also Ruby, Jade, Opal, Sapphire, etc...

Dog breeds -- "Shepherd," he's top dog; ya got "Border" who plans stuff; "Terrier," he's tough and never lets go; Bernard, he's the BIG DOG; etc...
