Exactly how intense or brutal is the gangs in your universe, on scale fof cartoony and silly to "brutal murder at the slightest offense"?And while I'm here, what is the worst thing your characters have done or have been responsible for? Namely the ones directly involved in illegal activities, like Velora, Ziggy, Alex, Becky, and Lani.
It’s pretty “realistic” I say as a person with only literature and documentaries as my research sources lol. Despite this they’re not running around killing people willy nilly because even then that only goes without suspicion for so long. Severe punishments are only reserved for severe fuck ups. It was worse back when Oliver was active since he was not known for being a patient or kind man lol. Bruce, while still much like his dad, is a bit more diplomatic.
As for Velora and Ziggy, they honestly don’t get into much except for run ins with Palvo. Ziggy has done worse but that’s for a later Ziggy and Gale comic :3
For the rest, it’d be too long to explain here but one of the worst things was Becky and Lani put their son in near fatal danger due to their many feuds - leading to why Becky owes Ziggy. Alex fucked Ziggy over severely which led to his evolution and ties into the Ziggy and Gale comic~
