PLAYER PLOT: GANG WARS
Hello!
I know there's a Lot going on in game right now--but I wanted to give a heads up to those involved in underground circles as well as try and offer a good way to get involved with it, if people are interested!
Following the EMP event and the bad press that had come with it, Jason had approached El with a proposition: if El handed over the tech used to create the ID scrambling masks so Jason could figure out how they worked, as well as offered him a new ID to keep anyone associated with "Matches Malone" from getting targeted, Jason would work to relieve some of the bad press focused on Morningstar. This followed with Jason and Abel (adsero) working together to build ID scramblers completely unrecognizable as Morningstar tech and similar to Jason's favorite fashion statement. Recent plotting stuff found via plot engagement here.
Following building them, he approached Laura Moon (apathet), Takeshi Kovacs (resleeves), and Caroline Forbes (gasping) with lists of names and locations of Kings and Warlocks members he had been collecting since shortly after his arrival in game with locations they would be frequenting, and coordinates to leave behind to lead remaining gang members right to Jason himself. Every member targeted was among the scummiest of the leads. They all fit Jason's personal brand of people who deserve being murdered--so: sex offenders, drug dealers who picked on desperate mothers, those with a history of abusing their spouse/child. If there wasn't an official case against them, there was enough in rumors to make a good case.
(instead of going the easier route and killing them, they debilitated the gang members to the point that they would not be able to return to their post any time soon even given the advances in medical technology, on Gaby's request)
This led to taking down seventeen higher ups total among both gangs (let's say, nine Warlocks, eight Kings). On the same night, Jason used the coordinates to lead some of the remaining members (whoever showed up) to a nice warehouse where he then strong armed his way into telling both gangs that he was in charge now, and if they didn't like it they could just die or something.
All of this went down on November 27th between 1900hrs and 2200hrs. Anyone is free to recognize that after 1800hrs, Matches Malone became an inactive ID, and Jason Todd also appeared on the Morningstar network.
Jason also gave his name publicly on Damian's call for heroes and the announcement of Damian's own name. So, "Matches Malone" being "Jason Todd" is not really a secret anymore, and I'm completely down for anyone calling him out on it, and the suspicious timing of the attacks! Additionally, the ID of Jason Todd extends back a few months; Jason asked El to backdate some pictures of himself and Loki as to not raise suspicion to outside sources. Anyone is free to also recognize that Jason Todd's public persona does not even mildly match the kind of person Jason has been in game; his history points more towards high school jock, mildly successful during adulthood but quit his job a few months prior to uh. be Loki's housespouse. ICly, this was done so that Jason does not have to work to maintain much of his public persona; if no one expects him to have a job or do things outside by himself, there's no reason to really bother with it and it gives him a lot more time to focus on reforming the underground.
With this, I'm also completely down to expand their reach within the underground! During these first few IC weeks, the Kings+Warlocks are going to be a complete mess while they figure out how to restructure both gangs to shove them both into one and how to deal under new leadership. There will be a lot of rumors spreading around regarding promises "Red Hood" made to them when strongarming his way into leadership. Everything from how his tech is extremely advanced and he intends to help them become an even stronger organization, to how he's planning an attack against the UNA and intends to take over the government.
Given the mess of both gangs, getting in to them at this time may prove to be extremely difficult or extremely easy, depending on who a character approaches! There are also rumors going around about how Red Hood is looking for a right hand man and is pulling in some of the older gang members to figure things out with them.
To summarize:
→ On November 27th at 1800hrs, Matches Malone became inactive, and Jason Todd joined the Morningstar network.
So, basically: if anyone wants to participate in fun underground shenanigans regarding two of the bigger gangs, there's a lot of wiggle room and I'd definitely be down for helping characters get integrated in with them!

To summarize:
→ On November 27th at 1800hrs, Matches Malone became inactive, and Jason Todd joined the Morningstar network.
→ Nine members of the Warlocks and eight members of the Kings were attacked. This happened between 1900hrs and 2100hrs.
→ None of them died, but most of them probably wished they had.
→ The attack was organized by some asshole in an ID scrambler going by Red Hood, who proceeded to overtake both gangs. During his introduction, he attacked those who tried to fight against him with some strange ability, building shadows into knives and bullets and using them to take down anyone he decided he didn't like.
→ At this time, both the Kings and the Warlocks are a huge mess; there's a lot of infighting, and a lot of struggle to maintain the place each member had before, but they're also fucking terrified of some asshole with supernatural powers who decided he's now their overlord, so it's a quiet struggle.
→ As they're both heavily involved in the fight rings, this may involve a more direct change of power over the rings themselves.
→ There are a lot of rumors going around about Red Hood's capabilities--some are absolutely ridiculous (I hear he killed an entire squad of UNA soldiers by barely lifting a finger!) and some are a bit more schemey (He promised us better tech, more money, and better targets!).
So, basically: if anyone wants to participate in fun underground shenanigans regarding two of the bigger gangs, there's a lot of wiggle room and I'd definitely be down for helping characters get integrated in with them!
