In my pathfinder game I plan to introduce my characters to the world bank. The twist is that it is basically run by the mafia. I had originally decided on making them Turlins so that they would be literal loan sharks. But where's the fun in that?
I'll leave it up to you /tg/. Dubs is the groups name. Trips is the race.
The Loan Sharks
Shark-kin Skinwalkers. Be literal loan sharks.

How is that in any way a twist?

If dubs you must use the phrase "offer you can't refuse" in reference to some awful loan.
The Black Circus run entirely by kobolds

The organization
If I get trips, they are run by outcast half elves

> The twist is that it is basically run by the mafia
So it's a bank, big deal
The group is called The Bank. You have to homebrew a race of Bankers, faceless suit-beings that are only ever seen in banks.

The "totally not loan sharks bank group thingie"
YV Trust.
The twist being YV is a horrifying godlike being with power over money and weaponry, and the mafia literally trusts in him to ensure they turn a profit.

"What an original and unheard of twist for a mature audiance." would be an odd name, but I for one am in favor of it.
Diamond Is Unbreakable
Just give the bank a generic, plain sounding name, Farshore Holdings or something. The race that runs it is some sort of Italian Jewish hybrid with hooked crooked noses, sausage fingers, greasy hair and lots of vowels in their names.

>making them Turlins so that they would be literal loan sharks. But where's the fun in that?
The fun is right there. The fun is literally in them being literal loan sharks. That is literal fun. How is that not fun.
