Lost Boys

Overview

The Lost Boys are a street gang made up mostly of kids, teens, and young adults who have been abandoned, neglected, or otherwise left to fend for themselves in the harsh city streets. They form a tight-knit group, bound by a shared sense of survival, loyalty, and belonging, often operating from abandoned buildings, sewers, and other forgotten parts of the urban landscape. To the outside world, they’re just another group of juvenile delinquents, but to each other, they’re family.\ What sets the Lost Boys apart from other gangs is the fact that some of their members are Kinfolk—descendants of Garou (werewolves)—though they are unaware of their supernatural heritage. This latent connection to the supernatural makes the gang special, though it also brings danger as they begin to attract attention from both the werewolves and other supernatural entities, including vampires. The Lost Boys don’t know the extent of their lineage, but some members feel strange pulls toward nature or have unusually heightened senses, strength, or instincts, though they often chalk it up to street survival skills.  

Aesthetic and Symbolism

  • Colors: Dark gray and forest green.
  • Symbol: A simple, hand-drawn wolf paw or a broken crown, symbolizing their rebellion against authority and their status as outcasts.
  • Attire: The Lost Boys often wear tattered or mismatched clothing, scavenged from the streets or second-hand stores. Their fashion reflects their ragtag status, though some members incorporate small symbols of the pack—a hand-drawn wolf paw on a jacket, a scrap of green cloth, or other small identifiers. Their appearance is meant to blend into the urban environment, giving them the ability to disappear into the shadows when necessary.
  • Their hideouts are often marked with graffiti featuring wolves, moons, or broken crowns, often in subtle places that adults or outsiders might overlook but which serve as a signal to other Lost Boys.
 

Operations and Territory

The Lost Boys primarily operate in the forgotten corners of the city—abandoned buildings, subway tunnels, and decrepit warehouses. They avoid direct confrontation with adult gangs or law enforcement, instead thriving through stealth, agility, and their intimate knowledge of the city’s hidden places.
  • Scavenging and petty theft: The Lost Boys survive by scavenging and committing small-time theft. They break into abandoned buildings for shelter, steal food and supplies from local stores, and pickpocket unsuspecting pedestrians. Despite this, they maintain a strict moral code of only stealing what they need and never from those in worse situations than themselves.
  • Information network: Due to their ability to blend in and remain unnoticed, the Lost Boys have developed a reputation as an effective intelligence network. They sell or trade information to other gangs, local crime bosses, and even supernatural entities. Their knowledge of the city’s backstreets and hidden passages is unparalleled, making them valuable informants for those who can afford their services.
  • Community protection: Within their own territory, the Lost Boys act as protectors of the other street kids, homeless, and downtrodden. While they don’t have the resources to provide much, they share what they have and defend those they consider part of their extended "family" from outside threats. This gives them a certain level of respect within their territory.
 

Gang Culture

The Lost Boys operate with a strong sense of loyalty and camaraderie. They may be a gang, but they view themselves more as a family—a group of outcasts who look after one another when no one else will. The gang has a strict code that emphasizes loyalty to the group, looking out for the younger members, and never harming those weaker than themselves.
  • Honor among outcasts: The Lost Boys pride themselves on having a moral code, even if it’s one forged on the streets. They believe in protecting each other and the vulnerable members of their community. They refuse to steal from those worse off than themselves and only fight to defend themselves or their territory.
  • Survival and cunning: Life on the streets has taught the Lost Boys to be resourceful and cunning. They survive by outsmarting their enemies, using stealth, speed, and their intimate knowledge of the city to avoid conflicts they can’t win. Despite their youth, they have managed to carve out a space for themselves in the harsh urban environment.

Composition

Structure

Gang Structure The Lost Boys don’t follow a strict hierarchy, but they do have a loose structure based on age and experience. The older teens typically act as leaders and protectors, while the younger members look to them for guidance and safety.
  • Rook: The young, charismatic leader of the Lost Boys. Rook is fiercely protective of the gang, often putting himself in harm's way to keep the younger members safe. Though still a teenager, Rook is street-smart, resourceful, and strategic, making him a natural leader. He is rumored to have strange instincts that help him avoid danger—likely his latent Kinfolk heritage manifesting. Rook’s past is a mystery to most, but some say he has an unspoken connection to the Garou, possibly through family ties.
  • The Sentinels: The older members of the Lost Boys, who act as enforcers and protectors for the group. They ensure that the gang's code of honor is upheld and defend the younger members from outside threats. The Sentinels have more experience surviving on the streets and often take on roles as scouts, thieves, or negotiators with other gangs.
  • The Pups: The youngest and newest recruits of the Lost Boys. Most are kids who have recently found their way to the gang and are still learning the ropes. While they are not expected to fight or steal, they help the group in other ways—running messages, keeping watch, or gathering information. The Pups see the older members as older siblings and protectors, giving the gang a family-like structure.

History

Origins

The Lost Boys formed as a loose collective of kids who had been cast aside by society. Many come from broken homes, foster care, or the streets. Their leader, Rook, is a young but fiercely protective figure who united these disparate children into something more organized. Under Rook’s leadership, the Lost Boys have grown into a self-sufficient community that helps its members survive, offering food, protection, and a sense of belonging that most of them had never known before. Rook’s motivations aren’t entirely selfless—there are rumors that he has ties to some unknown benefactor or is unknowingly connected to the Garou. His intense loyalty to the group and strategic mind has allowed the Lost Boys to thrive in the shadows, though their rise has not gone unnoticed by the city’s adult gangs and supernatural powers.
