One could hear the concert of the morning rush in the diner on 122nd street. The clinking of dishes as they are cleared from the tables. Along with the murmur of voices either damning or praising the quaint locale on the upper West side of Loyola. It was a staple of the city to the older crowd and bordering on trendy for the new generation.
Christian gently tore a pair of sugar packets side by side before letting their contents spill into his coffee like crystalline sand in an hourglass. His murky brown eyes sullenly looked up from his coffee at the man sitting in the booth across from him. “Are they here or what?” The man’s voice was muffled within the booth’s high vinyl seats.
Lucas, with his much brighter green eyes and demeanor glanced over the brim of his bitter black coffee. “Yeah. They are.” He spoke without completely lowering the cup from his lips.
The two sat in an uncomfortable silence for a few minutes before Christian turned in his seat and scanned the room, looking more like a gawking tourist than a professional criminal.
“Turn around.” Lucas spoke quickly and quietly, to which Christian slid back into his original position, an impatient tapping of his fingers on the side of his coffee mug.
“Which table then?” Christian mumbled impatiently.
“One’s at the counter. The other’s standing outside like they don’t wanna come in.” Lucas chuckled under his breath, almost doubting his choices. “They got records though. And any pair of hands with a gun in ‘em is better than nothing.”
“Let me see that book of yours.” Christian slid his hand, palm up along the side of the table closest to the window and the salt and pepper shakers.
Lucas slid the rather thick folder to which Christian referred to as a “book” into his hand.
“You got photos?” Christian whispered, to which Lucas nodded silently.
Opening the folder in the seat next to him out of view to any passerby, Christian glanced over some of the information Lucas had collected on their potential new partners...

Hi there, and welcome to A Few Bad Men. With the intro out of the way, I can start explaining a bit about this RP. For starters, yes, we’re going to be bank robbers/professional criminals! There’s all kinds of fun that can be had being the bad guy but this isn’t just what this RP is about. It’s about being a professional! That means not going on a murderous rampage every chance you get. With that said, if someone gets in the way of the score, you can use your judgment on whether or not they need to be dealt with.
The RP will revolved around a small group of criminals working together to make big scores. What they’re motivation is can vary, whether it be infamy or a massive bank roll. That doesn’t mean that there won’t also be a centralized overall arcing plotline that we will be following. It just means that there will be time for each character to shine with personal story arcs, unless you choose not to have one.
The RP starts off in a diner frequented by two of the characters I play called Donatella’s. Your character will be a relative nobody to the crime world though they can have a few jobs under their belt and be known locally (otherwise how would you be a candidate for the upcoming jobs?).
In this line of work, youth isn’t necessarily a good thing either as it’s usually associated with brashness and inexperience. There can be a few youngbloods, but most professionals will be in the 25+ range. Professionalism goes hand in hand with experience and you can (and will) be looked down upon, if only jokingly, as a kid or newbie if you choose to be an eighteen year old regardless of being a prodigy or not. You may create whatever kind of character you like, though I will be biased towards those that “fit” the role.
So by all means, let any questions or ideas be brought up freely!

Remember, this CS only has to show things that would be on record (even private ones) or rumors that could be gathered. If there are things you don’t want us to know, then by all means leave them out! (But PM me if it’s going to be something that will affect the plot please)

Name:
Conner O'Connell
Age:
25
Alias(es):
Shorty, tiny, gnome, hobbit, dwarf, Ect.
Gender:
Male
Nationality:
Irish immigrant American
Physical Description:

4' and 200lbs
That would seem impossible to most, his mild height is a result of dwarfism and his bulk is from a different condition. He started balding as a teenager so he keeps his head shaved.
Specialties:
Assault, breaking and entering,
Criminal History: (Alleged or Convicted of)
Revolving door of juvenile delinquencies, lots of arrests that got fewer over the years as he got better at not getting caught. almost all involving assault and breaking and entering, a few arsons dotting the landscape
1 count in 1st grade, 6 in second grade, 12 counts in 3rd grade, 8 in 4th grade, 5 in 5th grade, 3 in sixth grade, 3 in seventh grade, 2 in eighth grade and only once a year during high school.
In his twenties, he got arrested and convicted for first degree attempted murder to which he pleaded no contest due to extenuating circumstances. The man he beat into a coma was attacking a mom of twins with a carriage, 40 broken bones and numerous lacerations from being thrown through a window.
Personal Info: (Non-crime information, if any is known)
Born of illegal Irish immigrants who had him in a back alley in Manhattan. Supposedly his dad was IRA and came to the US to escape punishment for a job gone wrong but got whacked by Irish mob folk. It could just be someone glued to a barstool who died of a bad liver, but he likes the IRA story better. He was given over to an Irish catholic church with a hefty donation, most likely blood money of one kind or another, with orders to be kept safe from harm as long as the money lasted.

Due to his deformities, he was kept by the parish until he was five where he was put into a specialty school for the deaf, k-12. His condition granted him a scholarship that kept the money stretched further which got used to pay for a growing list of fees as he lashed out in frustration like most children without parents. Over the years it became more and more aggressive acts of violence both personal and property. Fights with other kids from other schools mostly, acts of arson were usually attempts to burn away evidence like the bloody baseball bat or other school kids wallets and backpacks to get back at them.

Just because he got arrested less doesn't mean he was doing less, just getting caught less often. As he got older, he put his small size to use in getting in and out of places with a musculature no one else like him has. When he did do time it was as an adult, he made friends with the other shorty on the cell block, in for arson. They requestioned to be bunked together to prevent undo harm to themselves and others around them. Even when one of them was up for parole early, they committed just the right act to keep them locked in until they were both released. When they both got out, they started working together for the Irish mob as muscle until he got a call for a private job.

Wow pretty good Blox, makes me want to rework my guy a bit. Think I'm going to do that.

Yeah, very well done indeed, makes me wish I spent more than 15min's on my CS but I like how Tim came out so it all good :p

Okay so all character are accepted. That's our max for now and we'll see about incorporating more later.

For now, only the first three (Tim, Mark, and Dan) are at the diner. The rest will be incorporated ASAP to prevent a rush and smush of characters altogether.

Been trying to post but every time I'm around the site is down. Sorry, guys.

No worries Amok, I think we can all understand the difficulty.
