Harbingers

Introduction Updates Update: 7/6/19 Street Rally A street race in Carlsbad was too close and too perfect for the club not to attend. A dozen bikes made the trip with Dawson and Sumter taking lead. They had a bet within themselves - that the winner bought drinks for the rest of them. The looser had to clean the bikes of the others - and no one likes cleaning bikes. Update: 6/5/19 Devon's Wake Devon's wake was another party at the Styx. Dawson, thankfully, had a guy play the part of the Angel of Death for the reawakening. Update: 5/6/19 Wake Set The final phase of Sumter's initiation into the Harbingers at the Styx and Stones. Details of the wake on the Harbinger's Wiki. Expecting roughly a 2 hour scene for roasts and toasts before Sumter is brought back to life by the Angel of Death. After then it's freeform Rp. Guests to include: Friends of Sumter Patrons of the Styx Harbingers Update: 4/28/19 Recruitment: A new prospect, Sumter, is being considered for membership. He and Dawson had a conversation at the New Era Garage about what the club's about and what they do. All that's left is to schedule the initiation party. RP Hooks Bikes: It's more than just a means of transportation, it's a lifestyle - a degree of freedom. Do you Ride? Working Poor: Not everyone can work a 9-5 job or spend their days sipping mocha-frappa-somethings at the coffee shop. Some of us gotta work for our money. Do you need cash? Crime: So sometimes we bend a few rules, break a few laws, steal a few cases. Generally only the stupid people gettin hurt. You got a record? Lookin for a job? Streetwise This is IC information, if you have the corresponding skill: Streetwise: ** Newly established in town after they had an "restructuring" in Texas about 3 years ago. ** They own a pool hall downtown, Styx and Stones Streetwise: ** Harbingers was originally an offshoot of a larger MC though it's uncertain as to which one. Some say Mongols, others the Outlaws and there's even some that claim Hell's Angels. ** They were into quick-cash operations, drugs, guns, etc. Often crossing back and forth across the border into Mexico. ** Their leader's a guy named Dawson. Streetwise: ** The Harbingers were said to have an occult side to them. Whether it was true or just rumors to put the fear into their enemies is unknown. ** The club also owns an old garage harborside called the New Era Garage. Streetwise: ** TBA Streetwise: ** TBA Initiation Part 1: The Oaths Like we're going to advertise that stuff here? Pshaw. Stuff happens but it's like UBER sekret. If you want to know then try and join. The long and the short of it is that during this part of the ceremony the candidate is ritually killed. Part 2: The Wake This is the public side of things and will be an +event scheduled for the friends of the candidate and the club members to show up and have a good time The candidate wakes up, in a coffin with the lid off and elevated at an angle so that they can see out. They are center stage at the Styx and everyone’s around drinking, having a good time and pretending that the person is dead. (This of this as a combination of a celebrity roast and an Irish wake. ) People come up to the coffin and tell a joke about the person who “died” and drink a toast to them. Something like “It’s a damn shame that ‘x’ person died, I really wanted to give him a good ride one more time.” or “It’s a good thing that x person died when they did - blah blah blah.” Since this is an open scene, this is where people can come in and rp with the party. Technically it would be closed to only those invited but we can leave the door unlocked and folks can just use +meet for people. After people have had a cycle or two of roast-toasts, the bell for midnight will ring. The midnight bell is something that will also be incorporated into bar rp later. Basically things are relatively open and cool before midnight but once the bell rings, it’s a new day (technically) and the more docile folks should take the hint and head out. When the bell rings, the “Angel of Death” will arrive and ceremonially revive the “dead” initiate. This is typically a stripper dressed in those black angel wings and skimpy attire. They plant a big old kiss on the initiate and draw them out of the coffin, signalling their resurrection. From this point on, the candidate is no longer a candidate and a ‘real’ member (because they’ve been brought back from the dead and such). Congratulations are offered, gifts of booze, etc. And then the party -really- gets started though there’s less structure to the event.
