Well, I love the concept and I'm certainly interested, so I'll toss up a sheet pretty soon here. Thinking along the lines of some sort of Russian/Ethnic mafia. I do believe it time to bring in some unbridled and unsophisticated violence.
Had some trouble with posting it as new, so here's the gang info. If it happens to post seperately later on, my bad and I'll get rid of it.
Gang Character Sheet
Name:The Sons Of Shqipëria
Age:About 2 Years
Uniform:
Enforcer:
Thug:
Symbol:
Product: Human Trafficking. The Sons bring in workers, prostitutes and other human “cargo” from Albania and Eastern Europe. Not pretty, but it pays the bills. Trying to move into the extortion racket with small shops.
Starter Muscle: 8
History: The Sons started back when Redi and Sedik were both 16 living in Tirana, the capital city of Albania. Both were street kids who had to put up with the conduct and aftermath of the Yugoslav Wars - Parents dead, no jobs, and shitty prospects for life. [Though not born to the same mother, the two considered each other brothers and were damn near inseparable. They helped each other out and kept each other alive through 4 years of hardship.] Long story short, it was best that they left the country after a few of their escapades, and managed to secure passage to America illegally. They landed in an Albanian version of Brighton Beach, and took over - by force - the smuggling route they came over on. Taking the name of their home country, they gathered new friends from the neighborhood, and named themselves after their homeland. Thus, The Sons Of Shqipëria were born.
Mob Boss’ Character Sheets
Redi Dervishi
Age: 22
Apppearance:
Basic Personality: Operates on a switch. Whilst typically gregarious and carefree, once the “switch” is flipped, is calculated, emotionless, and ruthless. Especially willing to defend Sedik, sees himself as an older brother, even though they are the same age.
History: Redi was born in Tirana in 1992, approximately 1 year into the Yugoslav wars. His parents were dirt poor, and, try though they might, Redi learned early on the need to rely on himself to get what he needed. A large boy throughout life, he was quick to fight, but was strangely unemotional during the act. As he said, “I was made to destroy, and so I do.” However, this did not always turn out in his favor. Sedik saved him from a severe beatdown when both were young boys, preferring brains over brawn, and as such, Redi quickly swore to protect him for the rest of his life. The two became fast friends, and kept each other alive - Redi with an emotionless fist, Sedik with a silver tongue. And so, when Tirana had nothing to offer them, they left, bound for America. When they landed with the rest of the Albanian immigrants, they quickly found work, just not legitimately. Forming their crew, they set about building an empire…
Sedik Dukagjini
Age: 22
Appearance:
Basic Personality: Much more reserved than Redi, but can be equally as ruthless, albeit in different ways. Lack of physical strength has caused him to hone his mind - Redi is no moron, but he’s certainly not the brains either.
History: Born in Tirana at near the same time as Redi, they met when the boys were both 8, and Redi had finally gotten in over his head in a brawl. Sedik had no way to intervene physically, but used his sharp tongue to draw attention off of Redi and allow him to escape. When they reunited, it was as brothers and friends, inseparable from then on. Following their exodus to America, Sedik was the one who arranged their first contacts with the human smugglers in the area, and began setting up operations.
Other/Miscellaneous:
- Main Base of Operations is upper level of an auto-repair garage.
- All members ethnically Albanian, and they intend to keep it that way
- Several of the enforcers are veterans of the Yugoslav Wars.
Just wanted to get it down so that people are aware of it, and finalize my interest. Definitely needs some fine tuning, and I'm open to any criticism.
