Crows

[Deleted]

"There’s nothing wrong with being a crow.
When you compare them to those poor caged birds that have forgotten how to fly, crows are much better.
Being a crow is good enough for me."


Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists


The Guiding Ideal

The Crows is a grouping of like-minded individuals who are often spurned by mainstream society. They are people who yearn for a sense of freedom that they have often been denied with in the confines of their lives. Within the Crows they are allowed a chance to live life to the fullest extent possible and do so... because that is what it truly means to be a Crow. Fly to the highest heights without hesitation.

All Crows are required to swear a blood oath to follow the Code of the Crows.

• Own individual actions

Total Forces:
63 (64) Members

Update Notices:
November 30, 2011 - Starting Numbers (63 [64] Members)

---

*The numbers provided above were from the base Charismas of each character divided by three and then added together. Otherwise, the total members would be:

20 (Mia) + 75 ("Unfettered) + 37 (Kiyoshi) + 38 (Areon) =
170 / 3 = 56 + 14 (15) = 70 (71).

Vs.

Rounded Down
20 / 3 = 6 (Mia)
75 / 3 = 25 ("Unfettered")
37 / 3 = 12 (Kiyoshi)
38 / 3 = 12 (Areon)
6 + 25 + 12 + (12 - 2) + 14 (15 w/ Jazz) = 63 (64).

By NOT doing the equation italicized above and by full-on rounding down numbers it allows for people to split their NPC across different gangs/organizations/territories as well as helping to avoid future potential confusion and inflation of numbers with the coming/going of PC members. Having this as a potential official unified version also allows Areon's gang members to totally avoid double-dipping in with the Dragon members.

The official order of operations has not been set, but Crows will set precedence in this so as to try to influence future organizations and perhaps make this the official "order of operations."

Until such a time, this notice will be kept up until a unified version has been ratified by the 259 community.

Crows gain 20 US Military and police forces to integrate how they see fit. (10 in each stat.)

As well as specialized training from a man named John Strike: +5 to all NPC army statistics.
