Roleplayer Guild - Forum Roleplaying Games

Obviously with these four classifications, you can choose to abuse your product [or the other person's product] or just be normal and not be an addict.

Drug Dealers: Consistent with the Black Market, international entrepeneurs in the drug game and often has an entourage if need to. Drug Dealers aren't the main characters but they are definitely the backbone of the game.[Black Market merchants can be played by me and if it's really needed to - you can control them as well but don't make them go out of character. They are shady, low-lives that only want money so keep it like that.]

Buyers: Also consistent with the Black Market, buyers normally are head honchos of mafias, lords of a gang or a god father of some type. Other times they can be those of the media - actors, directors, etc. Anyone with large sums of money and aren't directly in the drug game is a buyer.

Law Enforcement/Military Official: This is pretty much self explanatory. Now, you can choose to be a good cop or bad cop. That's the best part. These characters can either help stop the drug dealers or they are the ones that are helping them get back out on the street, ones buying them and selling them in lower communities, the ones that are putting them under protection and cover or the ones that are just plain dirty and want a cut of everything. Really, you can be versatile with this. Especially going under cover can be fun.

Civilians: The ones that are just in the way or try to get out of the way. You can choose to aid the drug dealers, be a vigilante [and be in trouble with the law] or just be an innocent bystander. With aiding the drug dealers comes in numerous ways - you may have to be a body for them, you may have to put yourself in harms way - anything the drug dealer ask of you, you have the option of doing it or just ending up broke.

Narcotics/Drugs/Illegals:

Now, creativity is definitely the way. If you are a drug dealer, you have to know your product - same goes for the corrupted, the puppets and the buyers. You can choose to make your own drug [if doing so, you have to give a description and a side effect of it.]

Over the counter, medicinal and anything that's found off the shelf doesn't count but if you mix it with something - then who knows? Mess around. Try things.

The drug game runs very deep.

[I am active in several role-plays at the moment and have room under my belt for plenty more. I enjoy any type and can create a character for many of them. Need something to keep my imagination in check, Heh.]

Character Skeleton:

Name: Guillermo Miguel Herrera

Nickname: "Tejano," or 'The Texan' to his English-speaking associates and enemies. Almost no one in Los Angeles knows his real name, only that he hails from Texas; thus, the nickname comes about. His actual name is in prison records, and 'GMH' is on a tattoo on his upper arm.

Age: 37 years old.

Appearance/Nationality: Guillermo is a Mexican-American, 6'3" tall, with a tanned complexion and long black hair. His eyes are dark brown, and he has several recognizable scars; one on his lower lip, one coming down from his ear to the back of his neck, and a line of even cuts up and down his left forearm, long since scarred over heavily.

He has three tattoos, one of a longhorn skull with a rattlesnake draped around it's horns, which is stretched across his chest, another with his initials on his upper left arm, and a final one in the palm of his right hand, with an image of a black skull. These are all logged into a database in Texas, used to identify members of gangs and local syndicates.

Personality: Guillermo is a vaguely described man with a reputation for fierce loyalty to those he represents, a little-known, well-feared Hispanic syndicate in southern Texas. Much more than a simple gang-member, he has ties that cannot be broken by cash or threats of prison time, and shows little regard toward those he deems 'unprofessional,' unless he has been ordered to do business with them. He is extremely reserved, and almost always silent, although ruthless and violent when confronted with a problem in which murder is the only answer. Although very logical, Guillermo is not a complex man, and does not see right and wrong in most situations, living in a morally gray area.

Classification: Buyer: Guillermo is attempting to buy a large quantity of drugs off of the streets in L.A., and ship it back to Texas for the syndicate to sell on home turf. Crackdowns have pushed the syndicate into buying from places other than Mexico, which is why they have sent Herrera to Los Angeles.

Weapons?: A semi-automatic Beretta AL91 shotgun; it's a 12-gauge shotgun with a wooden stock, and being semi-automatic, it fires with each squeeze of the trigger, rather than having to be pumped. It carries only four rounds, but he keeps extra shells inside his jacket, where a bandolier-like attachment has been sewn in to be easily reached.

He also carries with him a large hunting knife, but not extra guns.

History: Born in Texas, to Mexican parents. Quickly assumed a gang lifestyle, but was arrested almost immediately for a drug deal, in which he took most of the blame. He has spent most of his life in prison on that single charge, and for several extensions for violence behind bars. He earned his rank with the syndicate while pulling jobs in prison; this is also where he learned most of his tricks of the trade. Having hunted since an early age, shooting comes naturally to him, and after many years in a violent prison system, he is more than proficient with fist-fights, and especially any sort of a blade, shank, screw-driver, hammer... anything slightly dangerous becomes a brutal improvised weapon in a hardened prisoner's hands.

Name: Dylan Rae
Nickname: none
Age: 26
Appearance/Nationality: Caucasion male, stands about six foot, and has brown hair and blue eyes.
Personality: revealed in rp
Classification: Law Enforcement/Military Official
Weapons?: hand gun
History: Well Dylan is part of the federal drug and Narcotics squad in L.A. He hates dirty cops, and despises drug dealers.

We will start the RP after let's say to get it well off the ground - about 2 more people or if you guys want - we can start it asap.

Name: Juliana Scorcese

Nickname: Spade [On the account that she normally wears the color black a lot, she enjoys gambling and often gives the threat of 'burying someone']

Age: 26 [Youngest member in the Mafia]

Appearance/Nationality: Of Italian and Japanese descent - Juliana has piercing blue eyes with short, tom boy cut, black hair. She has several distinguished tattoos - three tear drop tattoos under each eye, a long black rose from her shoulder blade to her wrist, black angel wings extending from the center of her back and black pythons on the lower of her back. She carries most of her Italian heritage in her looks and the Japanese heritage in her style.

Personality: May appear sweet and kind, she is actually a psychotic individual - the fact that she's a bit off benefits the other personalities she can put up in certain situations. Most underestimate her because of her looks.

Classification: Drug Dealer - She inherited the right to the Los Angeles Mafia - despite the commentary from some of her family members who were not active or knowledgable of the family's involvement. She deals heavily in Cocaine, Crystal Meth, Angel Dust and Speed.

Weapons?: Stereotypes are funny to her but she definitely perpetuates it by carrying her long katana which is licensed [but she doesn't bring outside of her home or her turf points], she has a few daggers underneath her sleeves (if having any at the time), she has a normal 8mm at her hip and a razor tucked underneath her upper lip against the front of her teeth.

History: Files were destroyed in a mysterious fire [most will be revealed in the RP]

Name: Marcela Cruz
Nickname: Cela
Age: 19
Appearance/Nationality: Spanish origin, (european, not latin america) Long black hair, 5'4, skinny, kind of pale skin, very pretty girl.
Classification: Civilian
Weapons?: five-seven
History: Cela dates a guy named Vincent, who, admittedly probably has mob relations. He had taught her to shoot again, and she liked it, something about the power of shooting it, and they would go to a private shooting range on dates. Not really traditional, but she enjoyed it.
Recently, Cela's older sister was taken advantage of and murdered by a well known local cocaine dealer. Word on the street, he was able to pay off the courts and get away with it. So, Cela found him, shot him twice in the head. So far gang violence has been blamed for the death, but investigation is pending. Cela started carrying a gun around, in case some of the drug dealer's friends found out. She was in a local park, daylight, when a group of 3 thugs attacked her. No one else was around. The three thugs were found dead the next day, shot by a professional according to the papers.

Name : Maeda Itou
Nickname : Maedax G, Maeda-kun
Age: 35

Appearance/Nationality : A rather portly Japanese immigrant. Completely bald, has a scraggly beard, but smiles like an angel. Often wears a slimming XL black shirt and plain as hell jeans.

Personality : Often in despair, very insecure and soft spoken. Shies away from social situations easily. Otherwise, jokes very often and is a hard worker. Smiles like an angel. References anime far too much.

Classification : Civilian. A bumbling idiot who often finds himself in trouble, especially in the seedy parts of immigrant-ridden LA. Used to draw manga back in Japan, until a certain terrible issue and increased doujinshi resulted in Maeda-kun getting kicked out of the country. Tries to avoid trouble, but it always seems to come knocking.

Weapons: Maeda-kun is armed with an enormous arsenal of useless, obscure references. He also has a pretty deadly pen he uses in his manga creation. Watch out for ink poisoning! He also has a white belt in traditional karate, turning his meaty palms into weapons of minor annoyance.

History : A pro gleeman doesn't tell his stories all at once.

Wow, the turn out is better then I expected. I'll have to say FOR NOW, Character registration is closed. I don't want to overflow the RP but if called for it; I will re-open registration again. I'll start the thread right away.

Hey, if I made Hailee older, would Juliana be interested in having a quirky friend with eyes around the city? I know your character is supposed to be a cold and strong female but she has to have a trustful friend. And I would make my character loyal, she wouldn't cop out.

If not, thats fine with me. I'll fit her in somewhere else. Just asking here for permission first =)
