Blood Razors

The Blood Razors were a gang operating in Night City.
==History==
===2000s - 2013===
The Blood Razors first appeared during the Mob rule of Night City in the decade of the 2000s. They were a violent bunch, wearing cyberware, and were considered one of the first boostergang in the city, always traveling in packs. Its members chromed up with lots of tech, sinking further into the psycho-world of machine-altered chaos. The best became leaders, while the worst turned into killing machines, always on the edge of cyberpsychosis and willing to kill themselves and anyone around them for one last big score. By 2010, the Razors were one of the most feared gangs in the metropolis, doing any crime that would get them money; robbery, arson, muggings, assassinations, and such. They were full of violent psychopaths responsible for an average of forty murders in Night City per week. Led by Hack Man, the Blood Razors were known for their claws cyberware, as well as the tune they sung before killing someone. Their base of operations was in a warehouse in South Night City, where its members partied while listening to deafening hardcore street rock music. The building was covered in graffiti from the inside out, and Hack Man had his own throne made of plastic.Countdown to the Dark Future (#60)
In a night of 2013, Hack Man's little brother was tested to join the gang. He let a Network 54 News media known as Walter Pickering to document that feat. When Hack Man's 15 year-old brother entered into the warehouse's main room, the gang leader stood up from the throne and crossed his arms over his armored chest while popping out the claws, a signal for the Razors. The members surrounded the young man, animal cries tearing from their throats as claws pooped from their hands. The brother bared his teeth as the rest of the members, in pairs of two, stroke him with surgeon precision, marking their claws all over his body; arms, legs and chest. The young man didn't make a sound, and soon his body was covered with thin lacerations. Hs knees buckled and collapsed on the floor, then the rest of the gang begun to pounce on him, kicking and biting him. Some minutes later, they dragged the kid before his older brother, throwing him at their leader's feet. Hack Man ordered him to get up, but the younger brother only muttered it hurt. The leader kicked him across the room, stating that life always hurt, that they were born in a world of pain, and if he was not able to bear it, then he should leave and never return. For Hack Man, the Razors welcomed that pain, armored themselves to bear it, and used their claws to strike back. Wanting the same, the bloodied young brother stood up, looked for the nearest Razor member, and punched him on the face. The rest roared in approval, and the young man was admitted. They took the brother over their shoulders and marched towards a ripperdoc clinic where he would get his claws installed. On their way, the Razors caused as much chaos and death as they could, and even the NCPD knew to stay away from a Blood Razors' initiation.
===2014 - 2020s===
Over the following years, the Blood Razors became one the strongest gangs in Night City, though they still had trouble with other rivals. One time, the Brainiacs "arranged" a chapter of the Razors to cross paths with a heavily armed Arasaka secure force, causing the whole chapter to be almost wiped out. The Warrior Heart were known to have a long feud with the Razors over the control of the Combat Zone in South Night City. On occasions, the boostergang attacked the homeless packs in Lake Park, showing no mercy and killing entire families. Any time the Blood Razors tried to go near the Garden in Japantown, they always ended up fighting against the Gold Eagles. Their bitter enemy, though, were the Inquisitors, whose leader was rumored to have caught and killed Hack Man's younger brother. When the later found out, he announced a bounty of 25,000eb for anyone who brought him the Inquisitors' leader's head.
By 2020, the Blood Razors were on top of the gang chain in the Combat Zone, and it was rumored that something called "RazorBall" was played in an abandoned ice-skating rink once every month, which had a great turnout among the gangs.
