This one's name was Viggsy Carbolic, a verti-docker working the breach from the filtration districts down to where the Chemsalt Opens began. Every morning he woke up to the distant cry of ratowls out over the cavernous sea chambers; eyes sore, muscles tight across his back.
Muscle. That's what Carbolic could provide. He'd be introduced to me as a useful man to have in a tight spot; ex-ganger, ex-dealer, ex-enforcer – in-house, of course; the 'Ficials wouldn't have taken a second-look at him – and ex-criminal.
'That's a lot of exes,' I'd commented, when we'd met at last. His scarred old face had pulled up into that sad, distant half-smile I'd later remember him by.
'You should meet the ex-wives.'
I'd grinned. In truth, Carbolic was over-the-hill – an old man of nearly thirty, and already showing the greying skin of oxide build-up that takes us all in Water IV. Still, there was something about him; and the Throne alone knew that I couldn't afford to turn down a proper ganger; not when the rest of the block was skinny, excitable juves and a few loosescrews who couldn't make ends meet elsewise.
'So why the change of heart, Carbolic? What makes you want to get back into the game?'
Again, that sad smile. He didn't catch my eye; kept looking down at the pitted old table.
'You don't choose gang life, Fito. Gang life chooses you.'

I'll be building a gang from House Nur-Memmot for this campaign. Tentatively calling themselves Los Filt-Four Rubros – a reference to the bloodshot eyes of those who live in Filtration IV, part of the mass of habs and workshops downhive of the catastrophically-polluted Chemsalt Opens.
The Rubros have made their bolthole in a particularly down-at-heel and crime-riddled section of the western Uro Bloc habs, near the House's traditional Hagtown settlements.
Having finally got a copy of the rules, I'll be using the Cawdor legacy rules from Necromunda.com.
Here's the core line-up – an initial 635 credits spend. I'll pick some equipment for these guys and gals and find out what skills my gang have picked up, then see what's left over to expand the gang.
