Welcome to the Point East! Brace yourself to be introduced to a world of beer-drinking and hell-raising! Let me explain further. This is one of those ideas I have been planning to do for a while, yet have never got around to doing. Basically, you're going to take the role of an outlaw biker. You're going to live the lifestyle. Let's break this stuff down:
Point East
Say hello to your new home. It's a cozy little town near Seattle. It's in a perfect location; not too far from the city but far back enough in the sticks to allow for some heavy trouble-making. It has the essentials of any other small town: a general store/gas station, a hardware store, diner, and a gun shop. There are some crumbling buildings that serve home to hobos and the illegal operations of the town's gangs. That's another thing to note. Despite Point East being a small town, it does get a fair amount of crime. Gangs like to peddle drugs. Teens just love to party. Gang warfare is a common occurrence for this town as well.
Incorporating Seattle and other regions.
You may be asking how we're going to use Seattle in our RP. Seattle will become a very large part of this. Gangs will be able to ride into Seattle on a night of fun. Also, if the stores in Point East don't have what you need, you're going to have to hit up the city. Also, there's a world of adventure in the city. Go ahead and have fun there. But becareful, the Seattle PD is a hell of a lot harder on criminals than the PE-PD is.
One-percenter sub-culture and ranking.
Please know something about one-percenter clubs before you jump into this RP. Know about the ranks. Here's an article to help you out:

Study up on how patches work, rules, etc. If you show that you didn't study up for this RP, I will be forced to remove you until you do so.
Now lets check out our gangs...
NOTE: These gangs are “stock gangs”. Meaning that if you would like to create a new club, gang, organization, etc. please just come to me about it. I will be more than happy to review gang applications. At the same time however, I ask that you get some people to join your gang before going ahead with it. Just advertise it on this thread a bit, so we don't have any empty or lingering gangs. Empty gangs will either be deleted, or filled with NPCs that you and your own gang can have fun beating the shit out of.
Devil's Sinners MC
– Formed in 1989.
– Strictly white, very racist. Some are known to be skinheads.
– Also made up of Vietnam and Iraq War veterans.
– Major industry in drug and gun running.
– Clubhouse: Two story, made up of numerous lounges, a game room, restroom, storeroom, and a bar. Also has a weightroom in the basement, which is used as a storage for their more illegal products.
The Ravers MC
– Truly an original name.
– Mainly white, though accepts various ethnicities.
uCurrently in a war with the Devil's Sinners.
– Fighting for ownership of the gun and drug trade in Point East.
– Clubhouse: Single-story including the basement. Has a bar, storeroom, and lounge with tables for poker and a pool table. Has a bar in the lounge and a bar in the front. Illegal objects are kept in the storeroom, with legal objects.

Fronts:
When I say fronts, think of Sons of Anarchy. How they had the porn studio, that kind of thing. The main fronts should probably be bars. Now you can't open your clubhouse, but you could use a bar pimped out with your club's logo and such. This brings income and all sorts of neat roleplay. Garages are popular too.
Characterization
So, to get into the mindset for this character. Bikers' personalities range. I'd prefer the hell-raiser and beer-busting type of biker. But that's my personal opinion. If you want, go ahead and be the laidback and smart biker who rides out into the sunset victorious. The choice is yours. Also, get into the mindset of being someone from out in the sticks. You were country raised. You drink, chew tobacco or smoke ( this is optional. I'm just suggesting it). From all the drugs you're around daily, you may even use a little.
Not just a gang, but a club.
Hang out with your fellow club members. Go out eating, drinking, etc. A good example of this is that from The Lost and Damned video game. Ride out on your bikes together. Go to the neighboring city and raise some trouble. Spend the night in the slammer together. Just be brothers.
Picking a bike.
Diesel, nuts, and bolts are the keys to your bike. Feel free to explore with your bikes. I'd like to stay away from crotch-rockets though.
Point East Police Station, and jailtime.
You're most likely going to spend time in jail. Due to the fact that I want this to be an on-going RP, I'm not going to have anyone locked up for years upon years. If it's that big of a deal, we'll just say you got out on bail or you had a great lawyer. Just throw a few posts towards roleplaying in the jail. Make some contacts, get a good reputation, lift weights, improve stats. Do whatever you want!
TIP: Bikers, when your brother is released from prison, be there to give him a nice warm welcome. You guys are in a club together, after all.
Being an officer for the PE-PD:
– You are a small-town sheriff/deputy.
– There are not many of you.
– You respond to the craziest shit sometimes. (ie. “someone just kidnapped my prized pig!)
– You are most likely racist from being in the sticks.
– You will sometimes bend the law.
Remember, you don't have to go by that structure. I'm just advising it.
