The TOXIC FIST is a high-profile mafia with international connections and branches in several regions - most notably in Kanto, Johto, and Kalos. They are known to be crooked and greedy, never hesitating to take what they believe is theirs. They expect you to pull your weight, no matter your condition. Obedience and loyalty to the mafia are a requirement; punishments are dealt if members rebel against their cause or threaten their overall performance. Snowbelle University has been claimed as their home base, given it's spacious campus and resources. Despite the chaos, a system of labor has been put in place to support the gang and its future success. With a recent overtaking by the Kanto branch, the gang is now run by said former don, Kui Qianfan.
Their overall goal is to create a survival commerce; using a mob mentality to create networks for trade and favors, and making sure everyone pays their dues.
APPROACHING: SNOWBELLE CITY
A frost covered metropolis known as ‘The City of Everlasting Winter.’
Among thick flurries and constant snowfall lie the once bustling municipality of Snowbelle City, known for its polar lights that stretch miles across the sky. Once a vacation spot and college town, Toxic Fist has now taken refuge and own the territory in it's entirety, capitalizing on it's space and hostile environment against most zombie types. Their base is located in Snowbelle University. Every building on campus is occupied and unlocked for their use, with members often living in the dormitory buildings scattered across the property. They have access to areas such as a health center, library, cafeteria hall, lounges, and multiple educational buildings.
Due to the city's harsh, cold climate, fires are kept alight throughout primarily occupied buildings. Consistent work is done to keep the base functioning through said environmental hazards - and everyone is expected to contribute.
ALL BETS ARE OFF . . .
The Toxic Fist was a global syndicate long before the apocalypse had began, around 150 years old. The region they had originated from is different depending on who you ask, as nobody can agree on its roots. However, every regional branch comes to a consensus that the presence in KALOS was its prime power.
There, it began with a man by the name of Ardito DeLuca, who founded a loaning company during a time of financial hardship. Once a humble business, the tides of time had developed the company to practice extortion and money laundering.
Through grand success and the control of power in most of western and middle Kalos, their presence began to extend overseas. Connections were made across multiple regions to keep eyes on new business opportunities. Nobody is certain on who made what proposals, or how long existing organizations had been around when Ardito DeLuca's successors had began to invest outside of the Kalos region.
It would be agreed around 50 years into the business to unite under a common name: The Toxic Fist.
The formula for their triumph consisted of many illegal activities, including, but not limited to: drug dealing, corruption of public officials, racketeering, loan sharking, and breaking embargo laws for the illegal shipment of goods-- kept under lock and key, a boogeyman only uttered in alley whispers and notes under the table. Investigations were quickly stomped out, leaving the Toxic Fist to freely puppeteer where it mattered.
They ruled all regions with a savvy voice and claws hidden beneath suit sleeves, coaxing the vulnerable into financial ruin under the pretense they would be saved.
Despite the ruins of the world, this ever infamous gang refuses to falter, and works to restore their name and the power they once had.
It's just business . . . they have a family to take care of, too, y'know.

THE BANSHEE AND HYACINTHE
Two new additions to the gang arrive within a short time of one another. XENON captures a masked MEGA MANECTRIC only known as THE BANSHEE, and discovers that she is TONYA LOCKEHEART. Not long after, a stunky named HYACINTHE appears, and integrates into TF alongside her.
DESCENT INTO MADNESS
By grief, and a raging desire to find a "cure", XENON begins experimenting on more than just zombies, and kidnaps two CONVICT members. The CONVICTS show up to rescue the missing members, and after a fight, a CONVICT blows up XENON'S laboratory. XENON becomes more tyrannical and unresponsive.
A NEW FRIEND
The TOXIC FIST received letters and gifts from an unknown sourc, offering assistance. The letters encourage members to rebel against XENON. Not too long after, with letters growing more bold and frequent, HYACINTHE goes missing suddenly.

THE COUP AND THE NEW DON
The individuals behind the "gift-giving" are revealed, as is their agenda. KUI QIANFAN steps forward, the last DON of the KANTO TOXIC FIST BRANCH. It's revealed that HYACINTHE, whose true identity is a zorua named ZIHAN, was a spy. The Kanto members goal was to overthrow XENON as leader and take over. XENON refuses, but when challenged, none of his members back him. After being defeated by QIANFAN and his overseer BAO XIALING, XENON flees with TONYA. This marks the beginning of KUI QIANFAN's leadership.
A REPUTATION TO REPAIR
QIANFAN and XIALING approach the other gangs to offer an olive branch. They are informed that XENON has been overthrown. The MEDICS and the CONVICTS are receptive, but the PURI CULT remains firm in not associating with them unless they repay their debt for having taken AJNA PURI's right eye.
THE RAID ON JACORE TOWN: SHELTER
Members of the MEDICS and PURI CULT arrive in a busted up van, claiming to have survived a direct attack from the MILITARY in JACORE TOWN. TOXIC FIST shelters them and cares for their injuries in the nick of time. The MILITARY VAN they arrived in is kept in their possession.

TO BE CONTINUED. . .
Our group's plot is always expanding. Expect current events to be added as they pop up! Your actions influence the outcome of not just your gang, but the group as a whole.
GOALS AND VIEWS
The Toxic Fist, despite their reputation, might approach you with intrigue. Business, first and foremost, is quite valuable to them, and underneath sly smiles, they will make sure you leave with something... but never for free. However, if threatened, their guards are heavy hitters, while you'll find a knife in your back from another end.
Within the gang, respect is a requirement, and so is your obedience. Ranks are taken with upmost seriousness, as experience and wisdom will get you far and you will get to call the shots. Infighting is forbidden, as well, so do try to pick your fights with your wit, rather than your fists.
You are to follow your superiors to the letter. . . or face the consequences.
GOALS
Reestablishing control and power within the world.
Exploiting the masses as much as possible; always having something you want, business as usual.
Making sure all dues are paid, and create a survival commerce.
Shaking off the more unsavory stigmas against their name.
SO, YOU WANNA BE ONE OF US?
You're part of the family now.
FAMILY TIES
Mafia roots run deep, so there's a large chance if your parents were involved, you'd become involved yourself whether you wanted this life or not.
Perhaps you're already a part of the family; you might have been around since Sal's time as leader. You're an older mafia member, established within its ranks already. Whether you're from the Kalos branch or farther. Already familiar with the ways of the gang- it's clear you've been around for a while.
CAMPUS RESIDENT ( TEMPORARILY CLOSED )
Perhaps you were just a college student attending Snowbelle University, or even a professor. When the world collapsed, it's likely that you tried to survive by hunkering down on campus with your peers. A brief overtaking of the school's campus by Toxic Fist left you vulnerable to their discretion-- either you joined their ranks, or you fled off on your own, which would often result in death. You know they only kept you because extra hands would be useful.
DOWN THE WRONG PATH ( PRE-APOCALYPSE ONLY )
Maybe you weren't forced into the mafia at all; maybe you stumbled upon the gang name on the streets, or heard rumors of a running mafia that would readily accept your work in turn for loyalty. Did Toxic Fist become a way of life for you as an escape from poverty, or perhaps as a way of finding somewhere to truly belong? Either way, you know you're too far in now.
To signify your loyalty to Toxic Fist, your character must have a piece of amethyst jewelry on. It could be anything, from a purple ring to a purple necklace to purple earrings, any sort of violet hued regalia is a testament to their undying commitment!
For the time being, we are only accepting MAFIA MEMBERS to TOXIC FIST.
