The Mercermen

Mercer Street Garage

By appointment only

Mercer Station is the Garage for the Mercermen, gangsters who work in Basin City. They wear well-cut suits but in unusual colors, no conformity gray, black, or blue.

Rust red, harvest gold, avocado green, burnt orange, coral. Other colors are available, but always muted, dusky, or otherwise suited to a fall-themed collection

The business is building The Syndicate, because crime is getting out of hand, and someone needs to step in and brings things to a heel before some Elliot Ness federal thing happens and ruins everything. This is laying the groundwork for a John Wick style High Table organization, and the Mercermen are logistics and motorpool, as well as finance operations. Let the minorities do the fighting and dying for the Syndicate.

The Clarkson - Woody Harrelson, Mister Avocado

We're going to do this fast, and loud, chrome pipes and machine guns, cash money and strippers at the table with bottle service

The May - Matthew McConaughey, Mister Gold

No, we're going to do this proper. Understated sedans with armored bodies and oversized engines for the excess mass. No guns, no one notices. Then we go to the bar and have expensive drinks and professional escorts.

The Hammond - Brad Pitt, Mister Rust

What I've done is mounted a minigun in the back of this small car, which will be a gunship, and then after several diversionary explosions, we move in, all the shooting, grab the gold and who needs escorts when you just grab a few pretty girls and throw them in the backseat. Zip ties are cheap, man

The Wilhight - Michael Caine, Mister Beige

While they were arguing, I've gone ahead and procured four sports sedans, and have the ground team set up. Mister Avocado is going to go too large, so his car has redundant cooling and a more robust turbocharger. Hopefully he doesn't blow the motor, but if he does, there is a reason there are four sedans. Mister Gold is going to meticulously stick to the plan, even if the plan is thrown out, but we can rely on him to do what has to be done. Mister Rust is going to bring his own vehicle, but the monkeys have been informed that they are to sabotage it as quickly as possible, but to be ready to move whatever nonsense he has to the new sedan's storage space. He is expected to be the wildcard, so the sedan has an armored underside and fuel tank. The fourth sedan will be running evac and backup with the alt in it, Mister Mask.

Agenda -

Have a Good Time

Make Money

Drive Dumb Cars Too Fast

Leader -

Technically Mister Beige, but he stays in the background and is more the manager

Actually Mister Avocado because he's the charisma build

Membership

Beyond the four listed, and the Alternate (maybe Baby Driver?) there are 15-20 other unnamed Mercermen. These are the mechanics and workers in the garage, a couple of personal assistants, some accountant types, and a handful of security people. The leader of the security detail is Mister Cufflink and is a large and intimidating black man (Bokeem Woodbine, the Big Hit).
