Name Southside Serpents
About The Southside Serpents are a gang of dangerous criminals who predominantly reside on the south side of Aston. The serpents typically hang out at a local bar called the serpents. The Serpents are seen as outcasts by the rest of Gaia, and known to be dangerous and untrustworthy to everyone else but their own. They are often seen on bikes when they drive around. They mostly are a sign on trouble, but are hundred procent loyal to their own.
Serpents Initiation In order for one to become a Southside Serpent, they must undergo an initiation ceremony. As tradition goes, there are four stages;
- First, every new member must sleep 2 night alone in the Dark Forest, without any way to contact others, its about showing you can stay sane by yourself.
- Secondly, they must memorize and recite the serpent laws in the order provided.
- Thirdly, they must retrieve a knife from the Serpent's rattlesnake cage.
- Finally, the last stage, known as "the gauntlet", involves a physical demonstration of loyalty and strength, specifically, being jumped into the gang by its members, which essentially requires the initiate to endure multiple punches to all areas of the body only to rise and stand firm. Completing the final task, the initiate is congratulated by shaking the other members hands, a sign of "good sportsmanship", and granted the Serpent Jacket, now accepted as one of their own. This last stage demonstrates a sign of respect within the Serpents, as they must be willing to die for one another.
However, Female Serpents have an alternative initiation ceremony. They'd have to do the "Serpent dance", an outdated, sexist Serpent tradition that Veronica tried to get rid off. Female serpents
can choose which type of initiation they would prefer.
Laws 1. No Serpent stands alone.
2. If a Serpent is killed or imprisoned, their family will be taken care of.

The tattoo - Most serpents are known to have the Serpent tattoo after they finish the ceremony. Its not a something the member has to get, but most of them prefers it as it shows you are a part of the family. (
