War of Ambitions

In a building which overlooked Brooklyn's harbors, there were two men sat calmly, engaging in small conversation of both business and family. One man named Lorenzo lighted his pipe as a crisp sound of fire echoed while he inhaled the smoke that emitted from the pipe, leaving the room with a scent of tobacco. The other, Giovanni, casually sat down behind his new desk of a building both brothers had just purchased, his hands neatly wrapped around one another as he waited for his brother to say the first words. The room, just purchased, was already neatly organized, an affinity which Giovanni had. Giovanni was a man who always had his priorities straight and had a keen eye and memorization on dates, plans and events on what he was going to do, he was man of organization, which is what made him such a good businessman in the growing city of New York. Lorenzo exhaled a warm cloud of smoke from his mouth, the smoke floated freely across the room as the ugly scent of tobacco became even more dominant in the Giovanni's office.

"Why don't you smoke Johnny? It's good for you." Lorenzo said.

"I don't think inhaling any smoke is necessarily going to be good for you." Giovanni replied, waving smoke away from his hands as he stood up to open all three windows. The sounds of the city began to creep in while smoke left the building, the sounds of horns of cars and the Atlantic wind settled in as the window overlooked part of the blue sea and Manhattan. The Island ahead was now a busy and ever-growing city as building grew and reached as high as the sky, tearing through the clouds and making way for business opportunities. Maybe one day, Giovanni settle in Manhattan while half of his family took care of the rest of Brooklyn but for now, it was Brooklyn. "Eh. It's a nice view. Don't you think?" He said, leaning on the window and breathing the fresh, morning air of the sea. "I'm glad to decided to settle down with me on this part of town. Especially way from the smog of the in-lands."

"Well, we gotta find have a way of laundering the money we earn." Inhaling his pipe again. "Speaking about the money, did you think about what we might do with the Russians?" His brother replied after exhaling another warm cloud of smoke from his nostrils.

"Screw those Ruskies, I don't trust em. Those loonies almost ripped me off last time we gave them money." Giovanni said.

"Ripped us off? They were only two days late on their payment!" Lorenzo implied, laughing while smoke shot out of his mouth with every chuckle. "But they still paid."

"I don't trust that jerk-off Zaburdaajev and his Ruskie hoodlums, they just rub me the wrong way."

"Hey, I think we could put some trust in him. He did after all apologize greatly." Lorenzo gestured, he knew his brother well and realized he hardly put both his trust and his time in anyone. The slightest mistake and Giovanni would go ballistic. "They say he's an honorable man, you gotta learn to just calm down and trust him, he seems like a good guy to me and you know how I don't trust people easily." After all, they did know Grigoriy Pavlov Zaburdaajev quite well, as he sometimes would invite them to certain events. They were somewhat allies but more importantly, businessmen.

"I don't care what kind of man he is: Mai fidarsi di nessuno al di fuori della famiglia." Giovanni insisted, the saying was something his father used quite often even when referring to trust. It meant, "Never trust anyone outside of the family." It was something Giovanni adopted into his own philosophy in running the business for years after his father had died. Giovanni casually fixed his tie as he sat back down on his chair behind his desk. Lorenzo looked down and nodded his head, concurring with the wise words of his father who died when all of his brothers were very young. Giovanni was like his father, who was wise and cautious and Lorenzo knew to trust his older brother due to his responsible actions he portrayed while keeping his family and his business alive after all of these years. Suddenly, there came a knocking at the door.

"Huh? It must be our other two brothers. Late as always." Lorenzo stood from his chair to open the door behind him, quickly inhaling and exhaling another batch of smoke as he rushed towards the door..

Sorry it took me a while guys, I was stuck in traffic on my way back from LA and I went to bed pretty late. I just came back from class so I'll try to write up something.

War of Ambitions

Sure, I'd think you'd make a good Russian Mobster :D

I'm still new to RP so I won't try to play too many characters. If you think he would benefit the story, that's cool you should do it. I'm going to go to bed, so I'll be back later, good night.

One thing before I go, I will be going to LA tomorrow so I'll won't be back for about 8-12 hours.

Erm, hello!

That's cool. I would like to RP with you some time.

Newbie here.

Hello Foggy!

Sure thing dude, I'd love to! I am currently doing an RP about a mafia.

War of Ambitions

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.

-Appearance:

War of Ambitions

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.*

War of Ambitions

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?

Ghirardelli said
Antonino DestefanoMale28To 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.Antonino is 3rd generation Enforcer whom at the age a 20 was being groomed by his Father to take over his spot as the Corleonesi Family Enforcer, but was forced to leave Sicily in order to save honor after he was caught deflowering the twin daughters of Tommaso Buscetta, a valued ally of the Corleonesi's. After being shipped of to America, He stayed in New York, at first Looking to use his experiance and family ties in Sicily got him a position as a Hitter in one of the "American Families", but for now he freelances his skills to the highest bidder.

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.

War of Ambitions

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?
