I think you're misreading my point, E. I'm not saying "Here's a recipe for re-creating the NHSC". I'm simply illustrating that it takes work - both IC and OOC - in order to get any sort of RP going. I used the NHSC as an example because you're familiar with it, so you can look at what I'm saying and see the results that came out of it.
Re-reading your original post, I'm a little confused about what you're asking, to be honest. Are you looking for advice on how to cultivate criminal RP (which is what I thought you were asking)? Are you looking for advice on how to feel like a criminal without relying on other people? Are you simply looking for suggestions for your character?
I think that's the question you need to answer for yourself, to be honest. If you have a clear idea of where you want to go, then it'll be easier for you to see what you've got to do to get there.
