This is a neat game you have. Gangsters are cool.
I have a question about the setting, though. Why is a European mafia so heavily based in Japan? Japan has a long history of closed borders and xenophobia. Even today there's very few foreigners. Wouldn't it make more sense to base this off of Japan's own Yakuza?

On top of that, why does a European organization have its base in Japan and not Europe?

Also, how does Allicornia sustain itself financially if it doesn't do mafia stuff?

We'll start when the bosses and lieutenants get their sheet up, if not everyone.

I'm currently working on my lieutenant atm.

The European mafia isn't really based there, the two houses are just parts of a European mafia's Japanese branch. The European branch is obviously stronger.

Alicornia DOES do mafia stuff, but at a much lower level than Gryphes. I can see Alicornia do the "dirty" jobs for the police and getting paid under the table.

Well @iSuspect claimed that spot, but if you have an idea, then sure.

I currently am working on my first character in the character tab.

VarionusNW Nobody In Particular

Member Seen 2 mos ago

Username: VarionusNW

Name: Souma Gryphes

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Crystal Color: Souma's crystal is primarily silver in color, with many specks of other colors.

Allegiance: House Gryphes

Rank: Boss

Skills:
-Leadership
-Hand to hand combat
-Speech
-Negotiation/Diplomacy
-Tactics/planning

Abilities: Souma is able to control a number of elemental magicks, including fire, water, earth, air, and darkness. He is sort of a jack of all trades, and a master of none when it comes to this, as he is not very good at managing these in their raw forms. Souma makes up for this with an ability to easily summon and control elementals, which are essentially sentient energy. These elementals can take up a number of sizes and forms, though, the larger and more complex the elemental, the more taxing it is on Souma. He tends toward liking fire elementals the most, and steers clear of summoning dark elementals, as they tend to be the most taxing. Souma cannot control the forms the elementals take, he can only call them up using his own magical energy, which is basically food for the elementals, which allows him to control how large they are.

Weapons: Souma doesn't like carrying weapons on him, though he does occasionally have a dagger. He trusts the rest of house Gryphes and his elementals more than he does a piece of metal.

Appearance:

Personality: Souma is a respectful, and respectable person. He trusts everyone in House Gryphes, and treats them as close family, though he is not afraid to end someone if they turn on his trust. It's easy to say that Souma took after his father and became a very respectable leader, using the camaraderie of House Gryphes to push them forward, rather than intimidation and fear. Though, Souma is still rather young, and the stress of leading something like House Gryphes does tend to get to him. Don't be mistaken though, Souma definitely has a pretty good head on his shoulders.

History: Souma has lived his entire life as a member of House Gryphes, as his father was the last Boss. For much of his early years, Souma was just a cute little kid destined to run House Gryphes. From the age of six, to the age of 18, he sparred with his father, or another member of House Gryphes every day. At some point he learned how to summon elementals, and mostly used it for fun, until he nearly burnt a forest down while out with his father. After that, he used that magic with extreme caution. On Souma's 19th birthday, his father had fallen deathly ill, which threw the entire house into a panic. After a few months of his father's sickness, though, the House seemed to be accustomed to it. The mood was somber until a full year later, when Souma's father, the Boss of House Gryphes, passed away. Souma had no other option at that point, he was the boss of House Gryphes from that moment on. Even during those sad days, Souma tried to keep everyone's morale up. After being boss of the house for 2 years, Souma finally feels at least slightly accustomed to being the boss.

Other: "You cross me, you cross House Gryphes. You cross House Gryphes, well... you're already dead."

Damn, I was thinking of introducing someone who was like 50 or 60.

Eh, alrighty then. I guess this will be fun. Going berserk, wrecking everything, questioning why I'm a monster and talking to an imaginary fiend who's an actual being.

Oops, I just noticed something. The only types of magic there are in the world is Fire, Wind, Ice, and Lightning, so Water/Earth/Darkness doesn't exist. ^^

Slowly working on first sheet.

Username: IncredibleBee
Name: Toramaru
Age: 58
Gender: Male

Crystal Color: A blazing red
Allegiance: Gryphes
Rank: Enforcer

Skills: Toramaru is naturally physically very large, and this allows him to overpower most people with relative ease. Even most martial artists can't beat him in a bout of pure strength. This is reinforced by his skill in street brawling, utilizing various punches, throws, and bodyslams to wreak havoc.
Additionally, he's got a green thumb, and keeps a garden at home.
Abilities: Instead of interacting with outer forces, Toramaru focuses his magical energy inwards, increasing his already monstrous strength to superhuman levels.

Weapons: A Japanese oak bokken, but it's mostly for disciplinary purposes. Most melee weapons would break under his strength if he fought with them seriously.

Appearance:
Personality:Toramaru is a tough as nails, hotheaded enforcer. He doesn't take no for an answer, unless that no is "No I haven't snitched." Unless that's a lie. Then he gets mad. His patience is surprisingly thin, and he tends to only give people one chance if any.
He's not so much a time bomb as he is a hurricane; his intense appearance hides an equally violent and fist-filled inside. He tends to yell more than speak, and punch rather than speak twice.
Toramaru has few joys beyond fighting, his job, which consists mostly of fighting, and his beloved garden. Only another martial artist could hope to understand why he fights.

History:Toramaru was born a street tough, in and out of jail since his teenage years as a delinquent. But what began as juvenilie delinquency soon became adult delinquency, and the unnaturally tough Toramaru gained a reputation as one of the most ferocious brawlers in the back-alleys of Tokyo, fighting with little regard to whatever punk he beat. After some number of years, he was recruited into the Gryphes as extra muscle, only to discover his magical attunement, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, how well it fit his repertoire of skills.
His job here belongs in the streets, busting whatever heads need a severe concussion.

Other:I guess a theme song goes here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqPT26AH940
