=='''Chaos Riders MC- est. 1952.'''==
 
Originally called the Chaon’s Riders club for the small central California town of Chaon where the club was founded by disillusioned and bored returning Korean War vets. When the first new chapter was added in Stockton in late 1955 the club’s name was changed to Chaos Riders and the original back piece of an 8 pointed compass rose was changed to an 8 point wheel of chaos. Locals had long called the gang Chaos Riders anyway due to the rebellious and freewheeling nature of the club’s founding members. After the Vietnam War the MC experienced a major wave of growth and expansion with new chapters starting throughout the northwest and central California.

‘Jimbo’ Teller the MC’s president since 1971 has recently began to make noises about retiring from the club’s presidency. Due to his longtime status as a strong leader for the gang, his retirement would leave the primacy of the Mother Charter in jeopardy so he is asking the younger members to step up their level of involvement and attract some new blood as well. That is where you all come in.

Owned by current club president '''Jimbo Teller'''. The garage is located next to the clubhouse, and although they are technically (and legally) separately owned, the 20 foot rolling gate that separates the 2 properties has not been closed since some legal troubles back in the seventies. The garage has 4 bays with 2 car lifts and 3 cycle lifts as well as a small machine shop and office. The garage has its own gas pump and a flatbed tow truck. Known as an excellent garage it turns a decent profit and club members with reasonable mechanical or fabrication skills can often find work here.

One of Chaon’s oldest businesses. Floyd has run the barber shop since taking it over from his father Floyd Sr. 35 years ago. Floyd is renowned for his hot shave and many of Chaon’s notable citizens can often be found there. Floyd’s shop is often the site of informal parlays between club members and law enforcement. In most cases Floyd will be willing to pass along information to the club. He has also lied to protect club members who have gotten into altercations at his shop before. Floyd Sr. was the same way. No one is entirely sure why.

Big, powerful and slow he is terrified of motorcycles which is why he has never prospected the gang. Club members needing $ can often get jobs working as doormen and bouncers here. Dancers are often at club parties and several have ended up as old ladies to club members. Loraine is the ultimate success story. Fuse loved her so much he ended up buying her the club. It is well known that anyone hurting one of Loraine’s girls had better watch out for the club’s vengeance.

A small farm/commune community in the foothills about 2.5 miles N.E. in the unincorporated land outside of town. Originally started as Paradise Hill Commune in the 60s, it is today a small arts and crafts community of trailers and small houses or domes with about 60 residents. The owners of Hippy Lettuce Farms (an actual working organic farm) are the 3 weird sisters. The sisters are witches and there combination of holistic medicine and magic allows those treated and convalescing there to heal at 2.5 times the normal rate. Several old bikers and other types have come here to retire or rehabilitate. Their sweat lodge and ceremony site is actually built on an ancient Indian holy site.

+
Born in Stockton, he entered the Marines in 1937. In 1941, with the rank of buck sergeant, he was on guard duty at the military HQ, Pearl Harbor.   He served with distinction throughout the war.  He was a platoon sergeant at Omaha beach where he earned his first Medal of ValorAt wars end he was a Master Sergeant.   
 
 
===Sarah Ann Jones ===
 
Waitress-   34  Fargo, ND
 
Waitress
 
Sarah Ann Jones
 
34, from Fargo, ND  Born 1957
 
 
 
Witty but cynical, she is the head waitress at the coffee shop near the hangout. 
 
Left school at 16 when she got pregnant.  Married at 17.  Her husband and daughter were killed in a house fire when she was 19.
 
 
 
She is skilled in cooking, and sewing.  She has occasionally taken money for sex but is not a regular prostitute and gets angry if told she is.  She is not a drug dealer herself but has been a go between in the past for the gang, carrying money, not drugs.  She has always delivered the full amount and got paid well for it, taking cash or product.
 
 
 
She has secrets.  One is that she accidentally started the fire that killed her family.  Another is that she killed a man that attempted to rape her.  A third is that she drove the getaway car for several convenience store robberies.
 
 
 
===James Hennishaw===
 
 
 
Banker- 48,  Stockton, California.
 
 
 
 
 
Educated at Davis, majoring in Banking.  He is keen on making a buck and not scrupulous about it.
 
He has a long history of laundering money for the gang.  Sneaking it in to legitimate accounts, and channeling it to numbered accounts in the Caribbean.
 
 
 
He generally does not associate with the gang socially but has on occasion attended parties at the clubhouse in order to get a turn with the trashy biker women.
 
 
 
His secret is that he has set up the Caribbean accounts so that if the owners of them die he can transfer the money to his own accounts. He keeps the details of individual biker’s accounts highly secret just in case.
 
 
 
===Shelia Fishy===
 
Prostitute- 17 San Francisco, California.
 
 
 
A runaway living on the street.  Polyglot background.  5’3”, long black hair. 
 
 
 
She is house entertainment.  In exchange for eating from the club kitchen and sleeping on a vacant couch, when not warming someone’s bed, she provides physical services. 
 
 
 
Beyond that she is funny, surprisingly well adjusted, and not shocked by violence.  It would be very easy for her to become someone’s old lady.
 
 
 
She refuses to discus her past except to admit that her grandfather was a full blooded Crow Indian and that she looks like her grandfather’s people.  However a grandmother was Chinese and her eyes make people believe she is part Asian.
 
 
 
She has a mystical taint for later in the game
 
 
 
===Jimmy Sanders===
 
Police Officer- 31  Stockton, California
 
 
A newly promoted sergeant and a cruiser cop.    He is a member of the Citizens Committee for Public Safety and helps organize neighborhood watch patrols.
 
 
 
He drops by the clubhouse occasionally (if the clubhouse ends up being a publicly accessible biker bar).  Likes to knock back a few beers.  Rides and races amateur motocross and loves talking motorcycles.  The gang has occasionally given him evidence against people they wanted busted.
 
 
 
Jimmy is an ‘Ends Justifies the means” kind of guy.  He sees the black gangs that push drugs on the jr and High school kids as the worse evil.  He has passed info on to the club  if it will hurt the black gangs. 
 
 
 
His secret is that when he was 17, before entering the marines, he participated in the murder of 4 black drug dealers who had killed a 5 year old Mexican girl in a drive by.  His companions were members of the club, 14 years ago. 
 
 
 
There is a chance he may eventually join the gang.  There is a chance one day he might be promoted to detective.  There is a chance he may one day go into local politics.

He is sort of an assistant manager of the facility.  He also has his own social circle of a dozen guys willing to come unload trucks at any time for pocket money. Guy handles their payout. They are even less interested in bloody deals but for BIG pocket money. 
 
 
 
Gus acts and talks like he is German.  Fact is that he is ¼ German and ¾ Lakota Sioux of the Hunkapapa tribe.  He does not often mention his last name.

===Dewer Clan===
 
 
 
====Mindy Dewer.====
 
25, Born Stockton, Calif\
 
 
 
Drunk party girl.  Great example of a bad mother.  Had Nicky at 14. 
 
Attractive and loud.  Alcoholic.  Drug user.  Prostitute if she remembers to charge.  She has done some nude modeling as well as semi-pro porn. Good go between.    Might hang around the clubhouse
 
 
 
She suffers from a venereal disease.  She has few morals and has a seriously fucked up brain.  She has rented out both Nicky and Sally at various times for various things. 
 
 
 
Secret- She killed a man for money.  She has been molested since she was 5.  Nicky is her son AND her brother.  She once was the driver for a home invasion robbery and killed her accomplice for the money. Close to $300,000, the money is buried under her house.  She is too afraid to use it.  She never mentions the mone to anyone, especially not to Shaggy.
 
  
====Nicky Dewer====
+
Serving in the peace time army he grew bored and took to racing motorcycles and jeeps.  Because of his distinguished war record he was forgiven numerous infractions.  He was a terrifying drill sergeant but the soldiers he trained were prepared as best as the Corp could make them.  He had a habit of getting drunk with his troops which made them love him, despite his harshness, but made his superiors hate him.  He grew a tendency to piss off his superiors but the pale blue medal on his chest repeatedly saved him from dishonorable discharge.
  
14, Born Stockton, Calif.
+
Serving in Korea he became angry at the commanders of his units, and grew argumentative.  Wasteful fighting combined with conflicting orders caused several routine missions to become bloodbaths.  After one such mission he was assigned to bodyguard an officer, a major and a chaplain, an Episcopalian priest, Father Martin Boreland.  While protecting him they were pinned down in a very dangerous situation.  The senior officers were killed and Father Boreland and Master Sergeant Lemkin took over the action, saving the battle and the troops.  Both received Medals of Valor for the engagement, for Lemkin, his second.  
  
Local kid. Skateboarder. Byclie racer.  Motocrosses. An X-sports guy.  Tiny time drug dealer. Tiny time Snitch. Calls himself a spy and collects spy movies..  Likes bikes and tries to hang around the club.  He would abandon his mother if given half a chance but would have to take Sally with him.
+
The Korean War ended his military career.   He had a major problem at the end of the war, and was retired honorable, in deference to his Medals of Valor, with full benefits, but only just barely ahead of a court marshal for gross insubordination and assault of a General Officer.  
  
He has a 10 year old sister that follows him around sometimeShe would make a great innocent bystander in a drive by.  
+
In 1951, during leave, he had returned home to Choan, where he rode motorcycles with several friendsRaising hell, taking names, leaving messy corpses behind.
  
He picks up pocket change running errands. Will probably join the club some day.
+
After the war he returned to Choan and was with the group at its beginning.  He was involved in many of the hyjinks that got the club the name of Chaos Riders. He was involved in the early illegal activities as well, and led many operations over the years.
  
As a joke they gave him a cut and instead a prospect patch it has a Mascot patchHis mother stopped renting him out when he got itHe also got his own private bank account that day and has more money then his mom.
+
He served as Chapter president from 1957 to 1961, when he was arrested and served 2 years in prisonMoving to Stockton he served as Stockton president from 1964 to 1968Traveling around, he oversaw the creation of several new chapters in Eugene, Tacoma, and Reno.  
  
====Sally Dewer====
+
Arrested for attempted murder in 1971 in Billings, Montana, he was sent to the Montana State Prison at Deer Lodge.  There he met the prison chaplain, the same Father Boreland he had served with in Korea.  He was assigned to help Father Borland.  The two became very close and in the 4 years he was in prison Shemp Lemkin became a man of god.
10, Born Stockton, Calif.
 
  
Local kidFollows her brother Nicky around when mom locks the two of them out of the house when she goes to work if Shaggy isn't home.
+
Leaving prison in 1975 he entered the seminary to study theology upon the recommendation of Father Boreland. Accepted, despite his advanced age, he learned well and fast.He graduated in 1979 and was ordained a priest of the Episcopal Diocese of Montana.  He served there for 4 years.  In 1985 he returned home to Choan, surprising the Riders by his conversion and his faith.
Might wander over to the Clubhouse. Earns pocket money for baby sitting or chores.
+
His history with the group and his connections throughout the gang has made him welcome everywhere he goes. He preaches peace, encouraging the gang to seek legal ways of making a living and disparaging the violence of the group.
  
====Shaggy Roscoe====
+
He hangs out at the Choan Episcopal Church, in an unofficial position, where he occasionally preaches.  He also preaches peace in evangelical revival church.  He is passionate and funny.  He hates authority, even the authority of his church.
44, Born in New Orleans, Louisiana
 
  
A mechanic of shocking talent.  He lives with Mindy but has no illusions of her sanity or lifestyle. He does not use the Dewers children and doesn't allow others tooHe keeps everything he own a in the way of clothes in one large duffel next to his side of the bed. His tools are in his utility truck.  
+
He can still kick ass, even at 70, having led an active life, but prefers to try and lead his flock to peaceful pursuits.  He seems to never lack for money, which he winks at if asked.  Old timers know he must have a stash someplace.  He carries a pair of cross-draw Python .357, a 32cal 2 shot Derringer, and a walking stickOn his bike he has a well hidden pair of double barreled shotguns, an Ingram Mac 10, and a colt P89.  Oddly enough he also has 20 vials of holy water, easy at hand. He seems paranoid about Vampires and has gotten into trouble for beating up Goths.
  
He moves around a lot.  He can repair vehicles, buildings, planes, tanks. 
+
He seems to have no possessions other than his BMW trike and what’s stuffed in its voluminous saddlbags and packing places. The bike is a fully dressed trike, with a wide range of custom features.  He takes some crap for his bike choice but he laughs it off saying he is too old to have his balls bounced as if they were in a pinball machine.   
Served in the military for 22 yearsLearned how to repair all kinds of things.
 
  
He has no feelings for Mindy except to use her and sleep in a bed not in his truck.
+
From a game stand point Father Shemp can do many things.  He tries to be the voice of reason if something is going down. He will try to convince players to find a peaceful solution.  If shit goes down and he is there, he will chip in and kick ass. He will defend the chapter house and diligently try and save club relics.   He will not cooperate with the police. He will, however, talk to police, trying to convince them that nothing is happening.  As a priest they tend to believe him.  Its hard to predict what he will be involved with but he tries to keep his hands clean.
May someday become a member of the gang. Mindy has not rented out either of the children since Shaggy moved in. He has been tempted to kill Mindy, and take the kids somewhere more reasonable.
