GoGangers

""Born against the wall, living on the edge." "I'd kill for a new Thundergod. In fact, I think I will." "Yeah, damn straight we're rebels. We live free in a corporate world.""

- unknown (CyberGeneration)

""They say a man can't love a material thing. Aluminum skin and a cast iron soul...""

- 20th Century Song (CyberGeneration)

You used to be called bikers, back when the first motorcycle enthusiasts sped down Main Street, and James Dean was the idol of countless teeny-boppers. During the collapse your parents were called Zippers, named for their penchant for speeding along the unpoliced freeways as fast as they could, and occasionally leaving this world at the end of a long, bloody stripe down the pavement. But this is 2027. You still have the bikes, but now they're cyber-trode controlled. You still crave speed, but you look for other kicks as well. Now you're a GoGanger.

You were the first yogang to emerge from the chaos of the Collapse; the rebels of society who want nothing to do with corporate life. You come from all walks of life, but most of you come from the remnants of the middle classes, where the ratio of cash to anger is the greatest. You ride to live, and you live to ride. And if someone dies in the process, so much the better.

What You look Like
As a GoGanger, you move in gangs as tight as those of MegaViolents, only larger. Each gang has its own colors; always loud, in either two bold colors, or one color with black and white. Typically, your goboys wear worn leather jackets emblazoned with their logo, and those with motorcycle helmets are similarly adorned. Leather and denim are the most common materials for pants and all GoGangers wear the traditional engineer's boots of the true biker lord. You sometimes dye your hair to match your colors, and you generally wear it long, in styles from oiled curls to stark mohawks. Of course, the easiest way to identify a GoGanger is by the large, unmuffled motorcycles you drive at 120kph past some mallbunny's sleepcube at 3am.

Subculture
As a GoGanger, your life revolves around bikes. Pure. Simple. As focused as the BoardPunks' fascination with his plank. In fact, you sometimes wonder why those wussies don't move up to some real iron; they've got the right attitude. For you, it's any kind of two wheeler: Harley, Bimota, Cybertrek, Yamaha. You Disdain anything with more than two wheels, and you don't even think about flying vehicles.

If You're a GoGanger:
1) Tell me your name, age and sex. 2) Describe what you look like. 3) Besides your V-Trodes, pick three different things from the list below that you are currently carrying:

 * Fighting Knife.
 * Heavy Pistol.

4) Pick any one of the following "rides":


 * Apache Cyberbike.
