The Neolutionists

**The Neolutionists** are one of the many gangs of New York City.

## Overview

A largely harmless party gang that runs its activities out of different clubs in different districts, but currently most reside in Zone X. They party, drink, take and deal drugs, and mug people all part of their "just because"-lifestyle. To them the Party is everything. While some of their 'fun' could be considered borderline sadistic by some people, they will generally leave you alone if you leave them alone.

They are true anarchists who rebel against and are sceptical of authority. They reject all involuntary, coercive forms of hierarchy. In the past they've been more actively using violent means to overthrow the established order, but have found their home in the power vacuum of the Fallen districts of the Island of Manhattan.

They claim turf within Zone X and are based in a few underground clubs there. The owners of these clubs are the chosen leaders of that cluster of gang members specifically affiliated with that club. The members are those who use the party to escape from something, to forget of something or to become part of something. They are a close-knit community that gets united with their taste in style and music, together they are the crowd and they protect each other.

The Neolutionists poses of all the trendy cyberware, because style is everything. They dress in bright neon colours and have a kitsch style. At least one part of their outfit lights up or they use some swanky new cyberware to make their eyes glow, have LED tattoos or make other physical alterations that make them look more futuristic. Most (if not all) of their cyberware is purely for cool and aesthetics.

In the past most of their crimes have been small, but their hunger for new expensive drugs and cyberware is pushing them to attack larger targets. The fallen districts are primed to erupt into a bloodbath and the Neolutionists are ready for it. They are known for their augmentations, as well as using pain suppressors and reflex boosters when fighting other gangs.

## Details

### Philosophy & structure

The Neolutionists are addicted partying, that euphoric feeling and temporary escape from life is what makes them continue. Partying to them is their most liked form of entertainment, where they can do as they like and have the carefree feelings that children have. Most of them are drunk or high at parties, so all inhibitions are down. To them a party is a place where they can really be free, but that might be the toxins speaking.

They are obsessed with throwing the best parties ever, and go out they way to make the next party even crazier than the last. In Neolutionists clubs nothing is off-limits and boundaries are just a mental barricade you have to get past (use alcohol or drugs if necessary). Bad ideas are great ideas and the place is a playground for the drunk.

Their organization is partitioned in smaller clusters, each responsible for a different area affiliated to a specific club. The owners of these clubs are well-respected and listened to and for that reason become the leader of their cluster. A club manager is already responsible for supervising all areas and operations of the club, so they automatically become responsible for coordinating the different gang related operations too.

### Criminal activity & sources of income

Their main revenue stream is from smuggling illegal drugs and distributing it through New York City using their large network of drug suppliers, dealers and addicts.

Another large part of their source of income are their clubs. Fans of neo-electronic house music come from far to have a wild night in one the club venues in New York City. There are currently two known club locations: Club E11EVEN and Cube Club, but most larger events are thrown in abandoned warehouses other similar locations. The time and location of the next big illegal rave is secretly shared within the community, anyone is free to invite others - as long as they do not kill the vibe.
