How about you draw up a character sheet for one of the Mafia-sponsored racers? Someone that has a pretty decent knowledge of the Crew, from growing up around them or something, but just never became one of the insiders. It's like you're not against the Crew (unless a race is going down) but you're not buddy-buddy with them either. It might become a major cast-role when the Mafia starts going after the Crew. Let me know what you think.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>But this gave me an idea on how to merge the two ideas; My character is an 'independent', someone who works with various criminal organizations but is never 'sworn in' with any of them. He's spent time in Ireland, America, Japan, Russia, etc, but grew up in the same neighbourhood as the crew and knows them (and what they do). Currently he's helping the mafioso that's after the crew establish a presence in Japan, or Singapore, maybe, and is around when shit goes down. So he's dealt with your Black Market guy in the past, raced with you guys, etc. There's a quilt of colourful history between him and the crew.<br/><br/>So he's, like you said, a bit of a middle man and a bit of a self-opportunist. Someone out for himself first and foremost, but a good guy at heart. What do you think of that? I'm trying to not overstate the street racing aspect for this character and more on the criminal aspect as I think it'd be a good addition to have a non-antagonistic character who isn't all about cars (yet can still race).
