Male

28
Personality:
To those outside the"Family" he tends to be quiet, reserve and observant, though self-confident in his abilities, he's not boisterous or display's in aire of bravado, and most times his demeanor is taken as being aloof, Standoffish and with more than a measure of arrogance. He can, but rarely makes friends easily, but prefers to put his full trust only in those who prove worthy of it. To friends,he is attentive, kind and protective. Has a strong sense of responsibility and Duty to those within the "Family" once they have proven their loyalty. He's not hesitant to take up arms in defense of the "Family" and business interests, he's not a push over and once engaged in combat he can be ruthless and overpowering, fully intent on winning.

Appearance

[Zmerr]

Sounds good to me. :)

[Blubaron45]

So then, we have two gangs for now right?

The Bracco Brothers (Italians) and Morris' gang (Irish). Maybe we could put in a Russian gang or something for some variety?

Scottish* xD Maybe. We also have to fit the feds in somewhere. Or not. I guess I need some input on that one.

Nvm, I guess we have the Corleonesi Family so that's three. I just saw the post.

EDIT: Wait, nvm I was confused. I guess that that's a family that's in Sicily and not a gang for our RP.

[Zmerr]

Alright then. Two Italians and a Scot. Quite the mix.

EDIT: Or not?

[Ghirardelli]

Well I might switch to being a G-man, but I just don't see Federal Agents working in anyway with one gang to bring down another.

As in, you want to switch sides?

[Ghirardelli]

ah, leave it for now, I'm still thinking on it, Might switch if no one else makes up a FBI character.

[Zmerr]

I will most likely. I like to play both sides of the fence. I also encourage having more than one character per player as it is unlikely that we will get many more than five players.

[Ghirardelli]

Might be more of a storyline, having local police force Characters, given the history of corruption and pay-offs of the Major Cities police forces during prohibition.

I'm sorry, I don't seem to understand what you mean.

[Ghirardelli]

during prohibition, police forces such as Chicago and New York were full of officers taking bribes and pay-offs by mobsters, to either look the other way, fix arrests, court orders or give up information on witnesses.

So you could have local police force characters on the take, or conflicted with the urge to take a bribe. or you could even have a mob member on the police force.

[Zmerr]

Hmmmmm... I was thinking that at some point to. If you want to play a character like that, go for it. But I encourage you to keep Johnny. Play two characters. :)

[Blubaron45]

So if we don't have a third gang mind if I came up with one? I was thinking of coming up with a Russian Gang as well. From my research I've found that Brighton Beach is where most of them hang out but that's incredibly far from the Bronx so I might just say they're in or near the Bronx Area as well.

Anyway, I'd like to call them the Andronikov gang. If that's okay?

[Zmerr]

Sure. Maybe somewhere between the Bronx and Staten Island where Skip is.

[Blubaron45]

Sure thing. So it's official then, there's three families:

Andronikov Family led by Dimitri Andronikov (I just came up with it) who resides in Brighton Beach. (This is the Russian Gang)
Morris Family led by Scott "Skip" Morris who resides in Staten Island. (This is the Scottish Gang)
Bracco Family led by Giovanni "Johnny" Bracco who resides in Brooklyn. (This is the Italian Gang)

*note: I've changed Bracco family to Brooklyn because they're all closer that way.*

[Zmerr]

Alright. Can I get a CS for Dimitri for newcomers and for my own organization?

[Blubaron45]

I don't think Dimitri is going to be a playable character but I'll put him in if you'd like.

-Name: Dimitri Andronikov

-Gender: Male

-Age: 42

-Personality: Quick witted, sharp tongued, wise, forgiving.

-Info: Born and raised in Siberia, Dimitri learned the true meanings of hardship from the barren wastes of the North and thus learned how to cope or protect himself against any danger in a quick manner. Whenever there is trouble, this man knows how to get out of it quickly. Dimitri Andronikov immigrated Brighton Beach in 1889 where he worked and co-owned a small shoe company with his older brother, Andrei Andronikov. However, when his brother died of a heart attack in 1898, Dimitri became head of both the company and organized gang. In 1920, the Andronikov family is known as one of the deadliest gangs in New York City and has been made that way by Dimitri's innovation.

Despite being a little aggressive at times, Dimitri is as man who is known for fairness and is a man who lives up to his values and morales. Dimitri Andronikov is both experienced in what he does and to this day, has never been wronged or questioned by his own men in his 22 years of service.
