New Realna. A city plagued by death and disease- The disease of man. Corruption reaching through every home. Government, police, the press. The number of good people is rapidly dropping, the city a home for illegal activities of all kinds- trafficking in people and drugs, violence of all sorts. The police are either in somebody's pocket, or too lazy and entitled to take action. Those few officers still pure, who wanted to protect the city, are too small in number to make a true difference.

The main ruling force of this cesspit of corruption and evil? One of the world's many Mafias. So far, they have been smart- Nobody knows who they are, who's ruling at the top of it all. Russian, Italian, Japanese, English, Irish- Nobody has the slightest clue. But lately, their operations have been seeing... Complications. Supposedly it's only one man, but the higher ups are becoming... Irate. Slowly, a war brews between man and Mafia. The only question in the minds of the people, who recognize this situation from book after book, movie after movie, is...

Who will come out on top?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is, of course, a Mafia RP! The goal is fairly clear- One man against a Mafia. We will fight, we will scheme, we will try to come out on top- And eventually, one side will fall to the power of the other! Mechanics and details, certainly, are a little more complex.

I myself, as GM, will be playing the part of the Mafia boss, no matter what nationality we as a group pick as the Mafia. We will need -one- person, just one, to play as the vigilante. All others will take various rolls within the Mafia- Want to hide bodies for the muscle? Go for it. Want to -be- the muscle? Most certainly! Adviser to the boss, or perhaps their personal guard? Go for it. Every successful Mafia Boss needs good people at their side, or it all falls apart.

So, as a group, we will need to do several things. One, run a small raffle over who wants to be the vigilante. If you -want- the part, then send me a tell with your answer to the following question:

You are being mugged. You are unarmed, and they have a gun. What do you do? Be very specific.

Those who want to be a part of the Mafia, simply throw a Character skeleton up in the OOC here, and await approval. As long as the character shows promise and a personality, I'll -probably- say yes. Probably.

Also, -everybody- who joins the RP, at least until we have these things decided. Cast your vote as to the nationality of the Mafia. You may choose from: Irish, English, Russian, Italian, Japanese, or German. I know there are plenty more, but those are the best choices for this particular city. Don't ask me why. :P

Instructions aside, the following post will be reserved by myself. In that post I will have the rules, the Character Skeleton, and the "New Bulletin". This will be a small, often-updated thing which gives the recent news of New Realna- Pronounced New ree-AHL-nuh, by the way- as a daily news update, keeping time with IC time and events. -This- post will be updated over time with details on the Vigilante and the Mafia- Who has what jobs, who's injured, things of that nature.

Also, -especially if you're the vigilante-, please, I beg of you, don't flake out. I have a busy life, and often only post on Weekends. I understand that others may be the same. But if you don't get at least a post out in a week, I'm going to be concerned, and probably poke you with a tell. Hopefully, more posts can be made than one a week. But it isn't necessary. If you go two weeks with no activity or reply to Tells, then your character -will- meet an uncertain fate of disappearance. You can reclaim them if you ever return, and make up a story as to where they've been.

If you drop out, then your character will meet a much more certain, and likely very bloody and painful, end. By my hand. I like killing characters.

--The New Realna News--

Good morning, New Realna! This is Jackson Tenner, Realna's favorite anchor! This past week has been strangely quiet for our wonderful city, but some events of note have taken place!

The carnival that moved through town is finally gone- Having taken most of our small valuables with them. Kleptomaniacs shouldn't be trusted to run carnivals. Really. And if you lost your dog, that's probably where it went.

The glass works factory met an untimely end just last night, the building, owned and run by a nation-wide glass company, seems to have been the victim of a gas main burst. It's now a pile of rubble- But, thankfully for the company's reputation, every last window of the factory survived the explosion. Walls, ceiling, floor, equipment- All gone. But every window is perfectly fine, according to investigators. So if you need windows, order from Rawson's Glass Work! Apparently, they're nearly indestructible.

That's all for today folks! This is Jackson Tenner signing off- And remember, Realna, stay frosty.

--Character Skeleton--



--Rules--

1- Have fun, you bloody jackasses. If I catch you not having fun I will do my best to remedy the problem. If that doesn't work, I'm forcibly ramming Rainbows up your ass until you vomit glitter and joy.

2- I am the GM. I am not an asshat- Normally. (I definitely can be though! >:D) But, as GM, my final word is the final word. At least, in the public forum. If there's a problem between players, either sort it out in tells civilly, or bring the problem to me, and I will solve it myself.

3- Put "Vigil" in the other section of your CS to be accepted.

5- You're looking for rule four, aren't you?

4- It's right here.

Name: Mark Winters (Streak was his old nick)

Age:37

Occupation:
Illegal:
* Body treatment disposal.
* Torture service comes free of charge.
Legal:
* Previously: Bike mechanic
* Current: 'Junkyard technician'

Appearance:
* 188cm, tall strong and muscular build.
* Tattoos line his entire body.
* Hair is black with a red streak on the right.

Personality:
* In three words - wild, cocky, doesn't give a shit.

History:
Mark first started in vandalism and looting stores, setting fire to the ones that pissed him off. Not belonging to any particular group back then, he quickly found himself in jail for property damage and theft. When he got out, he took to cagefighting where he met his current boss, apparently by accidentally squirting a large amount of his opponent's blood onto the Boss.

(History subject to change depending on which Mafia we decide on)

Skills:
* Body disposal
* Torture
* Theft
* Vandalism
* Beating shit out of people for fun

Gear:
* Favourite baseball bat
* Desert Eagle
* MP5
* Ducati
* Equipment used for torture, mutilation and disposal. Vivisection if he feels mean.

Other: Vigil.
* Mark likes boobs. But be warned, those who RP as a guy. If you make your guy too sexy and alluring, you'll start to find that Mark has the hots for you. He'll understand a solid 'no' of course. That being said, he currently has no romantic interest, unless the bike counts.
* When Mark gets drunk he starts talking to the wall! Please don't film him.
* Mark can't dance.
* Don't go near the junkyard dogs. He feeds them human meat. You're human meat. Those are cheap chains.

Vote: English Mafia. Mark would seem to fit the English mafia more, if only because his style is more brash than the Italians, and his tattoos don't look like Yakuza ones.

Name: Kuai Liang

Aliases: Shy Guy, Techie, U.N. Owen

Age: 27

Occupation: As a day job, Kuai is a computers technician at an electronics department store. This is to cover up his Mafia activity, working as the hacker and kingpin of all digital crime and operations within the Mafia.

Appearance:




Personality and History: Generally, Kuai is a quiet man, letting his actions precede him and define him. It goes as far as to define his wealth of intelligence. Kuai is very calculative and observant, to boot. He's always had an affinity and almost a preference to technology, leading some to call him Shy Guy.
There was nothing that people know of that would lead Kuai to pursue a life of crime behind his normal life. Some people speculate that it's merely on a whim to be a bad boy. In fact, that's what he tells everyone. No ulterior motive. No goals. No aspirations. He just does it, and takes his cut happily. Though, some suspect he owes the Mafia, and agreed to be their hacker as payment, taking a percentage of his cut each time they get a take of money.

Skills and Gear: Kuai is a gifted tech nerd and hacker, able to do nearly anything comprehensible with a computer and leaving no trace for investigators to follow. He also operates well under constant pressure.
Kuai has his smartphone always on him, and has computers set up in his little base, as he likes to call it. Totes around a simple handgun and knife just in case, though, he doesn't tend to get out much while he's on the job. Drives a black Audi S8.

Other: Vigil

Accepted, Jiv. Same as with Silver, though, don't put it up in the character tab -just- yet. Still working on my own characters, and I need the first post in there for links to all CS's and the like.

Also, any preference on the Mafia nationality~? Think I'll let your vote decide it, since all of them seem fairly popular. Also means I can finish my toon quicker.

Name:
Arina Lécuyer

Age:
25

Occupation:
Illegal:
Management of all Street Drug Sales
Management of all Street Prostitution
Informant for Mafia

Legal:
Previously: Waitress
Current: Public Relations Officer

Appearance:


Personality:
Arina is a playful type to say the least; modest is not in her vocabulary which makes her unfavourable towards many other females. Manipulative, cunning and very tramp like, Arina would stop at nothing to get what she wants; however, despite her rather amazing yet completely unnecessary gift to make everything she wears look, well, immodest, and her touchy and flirtatious nature, she will fight to the death before she lets an undesired male touch her.

Shallow and sharp-tongued, she’s quick to attack someone’s emotional weakness for her own enjoyment. She’s selfish and will do anything to save herself before she saves another life. However, despite her unlikable nature, if she deems one worthy of her loyalty, she will follow them to the ends of the earth without question. Nevertheless, she will show that trait to anyone and then lead them astray, she’s a hard book to read and is a hellion to have as an enemy; but, if her trust is gained, she’s a good ally. It’s hard to pick which side Arina is on; she doesn’t tend to side with anyone. One day she’ll help someone and the next, she’s working only for herself.

It’s not often she’ll act her age, childish and immature are her normal attributes. She’s incredibly lazy and will bribe others to get what she wants. She doesn’t take much seriously which can often help in serious and life-threatening situations. Calm, cool and collected is her game as it takes a lot for her rage to break.

History:
Arina can’t place her skinny finger on how much she remembers of her childhood nor does she really care to. Unlike many of her comrades, she had the perfect life – she was brought up in a wealthy, well respected home with an angsty older brother, a trophy mother and a strict father. As the daughter of a major corporation CEO, she was given anything she wanted, any time she wanted.

Her mother was a woman who probably should never have had children – the woman probably couldn’t tell the difference between a baby and a potato sack even if she baked them… and she’d still probably manage to blow up the kitchen in the process. Her children were merely for show – to make it look like they were the perfect family. So Arina’s first memories of childhood were with her twin brother and Nanny, who cared for them as her own.

Eventually they grew and while Christopher went away to school and she was left behind – home schooled, and although she had the undivided attention of her Nanny, she still felt alone. With the solitude, she was able to excel in her learning capabilities and by the time it was her time to go to a real school, she was able to maintain good grades along with popularity.

Her Father was a cold man. She knew it wasn’t that he hated her or Christopher, he just didn’t know how to care for anyone other than himself and his company, so she never resented him for that. His children were to be seen and not heard, and she was okay with that.

As she grew into her teens, she was beautiful, popular and intelligent – the perfect daughter of the perfect family. Christopher however, had gone off the rails – he had abandoned all of his extra-curricular activities, he was out all night and sleeping all day. Eventually, after long and tiring arguments with his family, he left home and his parents fundamentally disowned him.

Arina graduated and looked at her prospects for college, however, she made the decision not to go – after an all but random lunch date with her brother whom she hadn’t seen in years. He was doing well for himself; illegally, but it didn’t matter much to her. He offered her a place at his side, working and ensuring order was maintained on the streets. She’s not sure what made her say yes, but she knows she enjoys what she does and the life she leads.

Skills:
Arina is a people reader – she’s great at scoping for the darkest secrets of those around her. She is skilled in karate with a black belt attained. Obviously Arina doesn’t practice her martial art skills so she keeps fit by training in parkour with her brother. She is also a heavy drinker... which she considers to be a skill.

Gear:
At least $5000 cash. For… emergencies…
She always carries three small, sleek flick blades.

Other:
Vigil.
Arina is very ostentatious – try not to hate her too much.
She watches people - anyone and everyone. It's a hobby of hers; she likes to know everyone's dirty little secrets.
She hates guns - she deems them as completely rude and impersonal weapons.

----------

Name:
Christopher Lécuyer

Age:
27

Occupation:
Illegal:
Management of all Street Drug Sales
Management of all Street Prostitution

Legal:
Current: Body Guard

Appearance:


Personality:
Christopher’s pride, one could say his self-importance, stems from his physical qualifications. That is not to say he isn’t with his allures; he’s charming and exceedingly charismatic. Eccentric is a word that best describes his ways. He doesn’t have a tendency to waste time on formalities and official procedures. Pride in himself and his work is evident and respect or reverence isn’t something Christopher possesses for those he does not know and sustains no problem in sharing his dogma.

He has the drollness of a mordant cynic; he’s sarcastic. Christopher sustains a weakness for trouble and should he find none he will craft it himself. Not anything is of worry to him, negligent and blasé, he can bear a great deal before he snaps. However; despite his quirky behaviour and his love for women, Chris isn’t the nicest of men. Unlike his little sister, he takes a side, and sometimes that side can be questionable.

Chris is protective over those he deems his friends; however, those are few and far between – and in the interest of his own goals, he would happily abandon a friend to peruse them. Those he dislikes are well aware of his opinions as he is not one to bite his tongue or hide his negative feelings. His care for his family is limited and he’d happily watch his sister die if he believed she deserved it or if it benefited him in some way.

His fighting style is cheap – he’s not the kind to be noble or show mercy. If finishing the fight sooner means delivering a cheap shot, he has no remorse in his actions. He’ll do anything to win.

History:
Christopher wasn’t treated too terribly as a child. As the first born son of the acclaimed Lécuyer family – so much was expected from him and he wasn’t a fan of following in his father’s footsteps. He always looked to his sister who was treated like a princess and silently resented her for that. If Arina had a distant relationship with their parents, his was non-existent.

His mother only saw him passing through in the manor and every time his father spoke to him, it was telling him to be better. So, as he grew, his disdain for his family was warranted. He was the bad boy in school and was always falling out of line. Making trouble wherever he could. He was expelled from boarding school and had to graduate back in his home town living under the same roof as his family once more.

Police encounters, hospital encounters and more were just a small taste of what he managed to get himself into, and occasionally he’d drag Arina along with him – and every time, she’d get out of whatever punishment that was dealt.

When he left home, he lost contact with everyone – including his kid sister. He took to the streets and found himself involved with people of the roughest sort. He was swept up into the mafia and has been working for them ever since. His people skills tend to gain him more enemies than friends, so when he was sent out to deal with the streets – he asked his sister to join him; hoping she would help ease bad situations.

Skills:
Like his sister, Chris is talented in martial arts, with a black belt attained. He keeps fit by training in parkour with his sister. He’s also a killer cook – funnily enough.

Gear:
Kimber Supercarry Pro Pistol
Aston Martin 310 Vanquish

Other:
Vigil.

Forget about it. I changed my mind and i'll just do a mafia character instead. I apologise in advance for the long history i've made. I did however written longer then that in the past.

Name: James Zhukov

Age: 32

Occupation:
Legal:
- Former: Mechanic.
- Current: Chauffeur & bodyguard at the same time.

Illegal:
- Wheelman.

Appearance:



Personality: Respectful, open-minded, nice with women, loyal to his friends and to the mafia of course, fearless almost to the point of stupidity. He dosen't let his work for the mafia define how he is as a person. While behind the wheel for the mafia James is on point, serious and unshakeable but outside of that he is a really nice person.

History: Born from a russian father and an american mother James lost his mother after she died because of some complications resulting after James's birth. Initially wanting to pursue a career as a professional MMA fighter, he trained in MMA as a teenager, but after his father died while he was performing a dangerous stunt on a dirt bike for an audience, James felt heart broken and wanted to dissapear. Which is exactly what he did. He took his car and whatever belongings he had and left the city that he and his father were living in. He eventually arrived in New Realna and after giving it some thought, he decided to settle there. He made money by participating in street races where he proved to be a real talent, winning race after race and earning a fierce reputation. That's how he met his current boss too. He came to the races to look for talented drivers and became very interested in James. After a meeting, James accepted his offer. That was seven years ago and he's been working for the mob ever since.

Besides the mafia, James also works for Michael Diaz, a cuban-american, owner of an import-export company and former acquaintance of James's father. Last year he offered James a job as his chauffeur, and James quickly accepted, mostly because the pay was better then the car shop he was working at the time, and because he even offered James a car both for personal use and to perform his duties with. James also moved at Diaz's mansion and lives there. In the last few months, he shifted from working for Diaz to looking after his 29 year old daughter, Maria. One night after coming out of a club she was attacked by some thugs. Her bodyguard died defending her and the thugs wanted to kidnap her. Luckily James was on the scene and finally made good use of his MMA training, beating the hell out of the kidnappers. After that episode Diaz entrusted James with protecting his daughter and also taking care of her driving needs, while he would just hire another chauffeur for himself.

Skills: James is an insanely skilled driver and an even better mechanic, able to fix a car regardless of the problem. He can even tune them too, if modifications are necesary. His mixed martial arts training that he recieved as a teenager also make him a pretty damn good asskicker too.

Gear:
- Springfield TRP 1911 handgun. He also has a holster & a dual magazine carrier for it.
- A pair of knuckle dusters;
- Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG: This car was given to James by his real life boss, Diaz, when he first started working for him. He said that this is his car, that it's bulletproof and despite the luxurious look it's still an "AMG" so it's very performant. He also said that James can use this car both for daily driving and to perform his duties to his as his chauffeur.
- 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi: This car has a story. James came one day with it at Diaz's mansion and parked it in the garage next to Diaz's other cars. No one really asked him what's up with the car and why he brought it here aside from Diaz. James only said that the car belongs to him not giving all the details and asked him if he minds if he keeps it here. Diaz said he dosen't mind and the car stood there ever since. James drove it from time to time.
Other:
- He preffers to drive with gloves on his hands.
- Vigil

Well, I don't really have a preference of Mafia nationality. I think Kuai would most fit in with an amalgamated syndicate, if not the Chinese Mafia. Though, the Triad wouldn't be too happy with that.
I'm not going to vote; I'm happy with whatever. Kuai is coming from the outside to help, anyways.

Also, Caught, I love the Durarara!! siggy~
Kuai also might employ Arina's assistance. Hey, it gets lonely in the base. *nudge nudge, wink wink*

OKAY. So.

I'm sending a tell to the person who's going to wind up as the Vigilante and have them create their character now. We have, (After I make the mob boss) six mafia members played by players. The Mafia will, of course, have unlimited NPC baddies to be taken control of by anybody at appropriate times, within reason.

Five players, six mafia members. Six players once the Vigilante gets in and makes his CS. That'll do to start. Of course, new players will be welcome to join for a good long while. But I want to get this started!

Also, the Vigilante's vote will cinch the mafia nationality. It's a tie between Russian and English at the moment. English seems the most likely, given the diversity of characters- But Russian is still possible, depending on how Vigilante-man votes.
