The Middle is a large Syndicate with a unique culture and creed that all members follow fervently. It has two consistent symbols, being a fist pressed forward with a slightly bigger middle finger, often seen on books of vengeance, and the other is a skull wrapped in purple chains with candles around and on top of the skull imitating fingers and the middle on top. Their motto and their threat is "The Middle Never Forgets". Members operate on an extremely tight-knit 'familial' structure, enjoying close fraternal ties with one another. Reflective of their bonds, everyone in the Middle refers to each other as their "Brothers", "Sisters", or "Siblings". Its leader is a mysterios figure only refered to as Big Mom
While the Middle cherishes its own members, it takes the polar opposite approach towards outsiders. Any "sin" committed against a member of the Middle, their loved ones, or property is recorded in the "Book of Vengeance" so that the perpetrator might be punished for the deed. The Middle is well-known for never letting go of unfulfilled grudges, and members may spend years chasing down its enemies to enact justice. Besides listing the names of everyone who has slighted the Middle, the Book of Vengeance also provides guidelines for the punishment to every conceivable crime, which range from murdering a Sibling to the simple act of stepping on a member's shoe. The same list is shared across every Book of Vengeance, although said lists appear to be divided by District. Particularly high-risk Vengeances are classified as Labors and Big Siblings are expected to complete one in order to earn the title of Great Sibling.
Depending on the crime, the Middle will not hesitate to annihilate everyone in the perpetrator's faction, town, or social circle. The Middle may not even care who actually committed the sin, and will just opt to enact mass vengeance against whoever's in the vicinity in order to teach everyone nearby a lesson.
On the other hand, slights between members of the Middle are generally ignored and forgiven. However, joining the Middle isn't a perfect solution either, as members are forbidden from leaving. Anyone who attempts to move on from the Syndicate will be hunted down by their former Siblings until they die or erase absolutely every indicator of the Middle from themselves.
There exists no strict dress code among the Middle beyond blending in with other members. They tend to wear light-colored dress pants and garish shirts or coats in purple and pink tones, as well as carry around personal copies of the Book of Vengeance with them. Other common attributes include golden chains wrapped around the forearm, shins, and neck (larger amounts of chains are present on higher-ranking members), which the Middle utilize in combat, and are meant to symbolize solidarity and connection between Siblings. Members of the Middle are also recognizable by their enhancement tattoos, named Vengeance Tattoos; as they are allowed to get a single tattoo with each vengeance completed, the number of tattoos present on one's body tends to denote their ranking in the Syndicate. These tattoos look like regular ink but glow Purple when their enhancement is active. They turn the middle members from dangerous thugs to down right threats capable of defeating entire armies solo. They also get stronger when other members are nearby, and even more stronger when another member is hurt.
In combat, the Middle make use of punches and kicks, and grapples, augmented by the tattoos, although they will occasionally make use of weapons as well, especially when conducting punishments.
Hierarchy The Middle's hierarchy system features at least four major ranks, which do not appear to contain sub-ranks. The ranks are as follows:
Little Sibling Young Sibling Big Sibling Great Sibling: The highest a member can achieve rank. One of the requirements for promotion from Big Sibling to Great Sibling is completing a Pilgrimage of Loyalty, which involves accomplishing one or more Labors. Founder/Big Mom: A mysterious woman that only the Greater Siblings ever meet. Created the Book of Vengeance, the Tattoo Ink and it's properties, and is responsible for procuring Relics to be distributed.
While there are multiple ranks within the Syndicate, they do not seem to call for any difference in how members treat each other, as in-group relationships are built on mutual respect, care, and trust that succeeds any power structure. Instead, there exists a natural tendency for lower-ranking members to want to impress their superiors, and higher-ranking members to dote on their subordinates.
The minimum age to join the Middle is 18 though younger children can be honorary members for protection. Rankings of Young, Little, Big and Greater have no bearing on the person's age. A Little Brother can be 38 at the same time a Big Brother is 23. The average age range in all Ranks is 20-30.
