These characters were originally designed for a "contest" on the GURPS mailing list over a year ago. The idea was to create a gang with a budget of 100 points combined for all members. In the end, only a couple of gangs were posted but I continuted to work on one. This is the result.
Rather than use the format I have used so far for 25 point NPCs so far,
I have decided to leave them in the format I was originally going to post
them in. The gang was designed for campaigns in the 1920's and 1930's,
although it could also into the 1950's.
Despite not being an especially brave individual, Noodles has become the de facto leader of the gang. The only member of the gang to finish high school, Reginald (a name he hates) prefers to make plans for others to carry out.

Pete grew up in the poor part of the city, learning how to survive with his fists and a knife. He has some difficulty in reconciling belonging to a group but also being a loner; Noodles tries to help by giving him jobs where he can operate alone. However, as Pete isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, sometimes he has to be bailed out by another gang member, usually Loud Bill.

Bill Boyne is quiet, pudgy man in his early 30's. He rarely involves himself in plans for jobs except where it directly involves him. Before joining the gang, he worked as a mechanic and before that served briefly in the army (an accident with a grenade damaged his hearing and lead to his discharge). When not pulling jobs with the gang, he works as a car mechanic.
