Dno

The Dno (Russian: Дно, lit. 'Bottom') is a collective term for the Russian Underworld. It includes the various Bratva, as well as other villainous groups.

Modus operandi

The Unwritten Rules in Russia's underworld are different - parahumans don't fight parahumans; only the Elitnaya and foreign powers are fair game. This rule makes for strangely honorable scenarios where two parahumans come across one another in a firefight and call a temporary ceasefire, or completely ignore the other.<ref name=SB1/>

Structure

The Criminal brotherhoods tend to breed their parahumans intimidating, cunning, and merciless. Any new Parahuman is tested by the group that finds them, should they pass they can join anyone else within the underground. Any problems; the weak, the crazy and the independent are killed.<ref name=SB1>Dno - The Underworld, includes the various Bratva. The unwritten rules in Russia's underworld are different - parahumans don't fight parahumans. Only the Elitnaya and foreign powers are fair game (and are the ultimate reason for the rule - if you fight amongst yourselves, you're too weak to stop the Elitnaya). This makes for strangely honorable scenarios where two parahumans might come across one another in a firefight and call a temporary ceasefire, or completely ignore one another. Those who've survived within the Dno are generally smart, merciless, and scary. When new parahumans show up, they're brought before a group, tested, and if they prove worthy, are freed to join whomever. Those that fail, refuse to join a group or who are deemed too damaged are liable to be executed.Private message by Wildbow, archived on Spacebattles</ref>
