Description
|
xxxxxLocated not far from Jamaica Bay in a predominantly Latinx sector of East New York, this garage doesn't look like much from the outside. A low-slung squat dingy brick building with a hand-painted sign over front proclaiming it to be HELLHOUND CUSTOM CYCLES, this garage has a small office area with its own pedestrian entrance from the street at the front, containing a minifridge usually full of beer and beaten down old desk with a ledger and an antique cash register that no one ever seems to use. The rest of the space is roughly L-shaped, its walls lined with racks of tools and heavy workbenches with built-in steel drawers full of hardware and spare parts. There's a raised platform in the wider leg of the space for working on one motorcycle, and there's space in the narrower leg for parking at least three more.

Notes & Trivia
|
- The garage is a fully-functioning motorcycle garage, specializing in building custom choppers.
- The garage is also the home base of the New York City chapter of the Mutant Mongrels MC, a 1%er motorcycle club that operates out of a few different cities nationwide.
- Around New York, the Mongrels are very active in weapons dealing and selling drugs.
- Not strictly illicit drugs, though. In the wake of the zombie outbreak, once the drugs were no longer provided for free by the state, the Mongrels got into the business of acquiring zombie treatment drugs and selling it on the cheap to communities that struggled with access to legitimate medical care (i.e. the poor, uninsured, undocumented, mutants, etc.)
- From there they branched out into providing medication & medical supplies more widely to communities in need, and in recent years have become quite well-known locally in underserved communities (most especially but not limited to mutants and immigrant communities) as people to go to if you need medicine you can't afford. Several days a week they run a clinic out of the building adjacent to their garage.
- Past this, they're also well-known in the mutant community for putting the smackdown on people who try messing with mutants on their turf. This largely means people get very wary of starting any anti-mutant violence in the neighborhood of East New York, but on a larger level the Mongrels' insignia tends to make people think twice about picking on mutants nearby.
- The Mongrels' emblem is a Jolly Roger, though each one is personalized to the rider. It is universal that the MC logo contains a skull and crossbones, with the skull always altered in some way to look other-than-human (horns, fangs, etc.) but the particular manner of freakishness as well as the crossbones below vary heavily from member to member.
