 About: 

Shogan Bike couriers always had a reputation even among the competitive subculture of new York couriers. They would race along busy roads and blow through an intersection like anyone else in the business, but they would also take back alleys, drive over cars and in one famous debacle drove through a mall evading a few security guards to make it well ahead of deadline. That’s because they considered the deadlines like high scores and whoever could beat a run fastest, got the top placement. Most of the guys never even took days off. Because on days off they would go mountain biking or racing somewhere with Pierce and in his opinion the best course, was the danger and competition thick streets of New York City. Shogan was the dream job for other couriers and they set the bar. Because they got packages delivered faster then everyone else in the business the owner was always pushing the competition. He kept everyone connected via headsets and walkies for the sole purpose of sharing shit talk. He also had a lawyer on retainer specifically to handle infractions his employees routinely committed. That said, evading the odd police officer was just extra adrenaline so they rarely got caught. When everything happened later they were as shocked as everyone else. Pierce rallied everyone and when the dust settled they took up running info between pockets of humanity. Getting supplies one bike load at a time through streets that could explode into a war zone at the drop of a hat. Where as a larger group moving together might become a slow moving target, the Shogans are gone the moment things seem sketchy. If they have to do any fighting it’s done on the move with the aide of a machete strapped to a way too mad max looking sheath attached to their hip or back.

Base:

The Shogans discovered early on that a rolling wheel didn’t become bloody. The crew moves from location to location, never doing more then setting up warning systems and relying on speed and mobility to stay ahead of death. They keep stashed in little know sections of city and operate by scattering to the four winds when threatened.

 Leader: 

Pierce is the unquestioned leader of the Shogans. He is one of the best surviving bikers and in addition to his Asian fetish has a fucking katana.

 Other Members/Contacts in the Tribe: 

Laura is the unofficial second in command of the Shogans. She is the daughter of two survival nuts and spent her childhood being put in extremely inappropriate levels of danger by them. Around 13 she was removed and taken into foster care. She was not upset and super excited to be around kids who weren’t psycho due to parental abuse. She moved to the city as soon as she could. She is a very athletic and has helped immeasurably with the survival of the Shoguns since things have hit the fan.
