Civil Society/Crime/Theme/Junior Black Mafia/Joining
As their name implies, the Junior Black Mafia tends to only attract members of African American ancestry. This is not a hard or fast rule, however, and in recent years they've opened their membership up to 'entrepreneurs' of whatever persuasion, so long as they're loyal to the JBM. The upshot of this is that status in the organization above Status 2 is limited to black characters, though membership in the rank and file doesn't require this.
With that said, if you're playing a member of the Junior Black Mob, you're not playing a Good Guy. You're playing a member of a ruthless organized crime syndicate. You can act like a boy scout. But you aren't one.
Being a member in the JBM requires the following stats:
- Status (Crime: Junior Black Mafia): 1
- Streetwise: 2
- Gangs Specialty
- Larceny: 2
- Breaking & Entering or similar Specialties
The following stats are suggested, but not required.
- Skills: Brawl, Firearms, Weaponry, Streetwise, Politics
- Merits: Untouchable, Air of Menace, Contacts (Philly Mob), Allies (Philly Mob)
