At long last I finally have a new line of characters to share with you all after a long gap since the last one was introduced, this time being Ray Reginald Royston's gang! The antagonistic inverse to Morgan's.
Kip is the right-hand man of Royston and second-in-command of all their operations. Unlike the others, his background of how is life was prior to working with him is largely unknown, but is confirmed to have originally hailed from China and was one of Royston's earliest colleagues as soon as he took over his father's legacy. He also holds the distinction of being notably more gentle and forgiving towards their enemies, preferring to only strike them if less slack is deserved.
Richie is one of the two dedicated lieutenants under Royston's lead. He previously worked for a circle of American mobsters that banked heavily on pickpocketing, but were all killed by a boiler explosion during a nasty policeraid which only he had survived. Crafty, cunning, and highly sardonic, he is often tasked to undertake only the most sinister dirty work if Royston cannot do so himself.
Flora is Royston's beloved daughter and only other bit of family to follow along with his escapades. What sets her apart from the others is that she is the most dismissive and outspoken about their alignment of being "the villains" and wants her father to stop targeting Sheffield and move on from what happened to both his own and her mother. She is also highly countercultural about her surroundings, and will even sometimes disobey orders if she can get away with no gathered evidence of blame. Nonetheless, Royston is still very caring and protective of her, which frequently gets the better of him if she is put in front of him by his enemies as bait. Unlike most of the other characters, Flora takes on the motif of a goth/2000's "spooky girl", similar to examples such as Triana from Venture Bros. and Creepie Creecher from Growing Up Creepie.
Brent is Royston's second lieutenant and is in-charge oc all their henchmen's services. He used to operate as a Canadian military officer, but was kicked out of the army for exchanging arms with multiple piracy groups. Now he uses his former experience and retained tactics to train and enforce almost all orders carried out by Royston's henchmen.
