OMG....... you're brilliant!
My character sheet so far for a Gambino captain. Got a few natural links to @Cayleee and @Magno characters.
@KaeganofAmber if you're a hacker in need of a crew or employment, my character might have some job offers for you.
Open to other links too.

WANTED ROLE ; 1) Caporegime/Captain. 2) Advisor.
NAME ; Leo Valentino “L.V” Cocchiola. (L.V to people he grew up with, Leo to everyone else)[/I]
AGE ; 41.
GENDER ; Male.
SIN ; Pride.
LOYALTY ; The Gambinos.
ORIENTATION ; Heterosexual.
FACE CLAIM ;
INFORMATION;
Leo Valentino Cocchiola comes from a long line of Gambino mafioso, since his great-grandfather emigrated from the old country in the previous century. From a young age he was groomed for the “enterprising businessman” lifestyle, starting his career as the local bike thief, scavenging and reassembling bicycles for later resale. He moved up to sell single cigarette and marijuana baggies in high school, to highway truck jackings while earning an Economics Diploma. An associate in his youth, yet with a deceased father and grandfather who had been made men, L.V knew he was destined for the stripes and continued to push himself recklessly to garner the attentions and oversight of the bosses, hoping to curry favor. He was eventually given his wings and the books were opened for him, not by the usual method of a well carried out hit or murder, but by taking the fall for an older captain. With promises of being made after his release, L.V took the dive and was sentenced ten years in prison, with parole after six, which he made. He was elevated to the rank of made man and went on to work for the Gambinos in more direct ways. Years later, parole served “successfully”, he was ranked up to captain on account of his innovative and unique ways of generating longer lasting revenue and earnings with legitimate facades. Still riding his rising tide of success, his ambition has yet to hit a ceiling.
L.V runs several scams and gigs in his territories, from the usual protection rackets and money laundering operations to more modernized phishing and tax avoidance/bankruptcy scams with all the present day economic hardships. He has made success out of bitcoin and employs warehouses of low level hackers to push false investment schemes. He also utilizes more skilled computer technicians to crack electronic safe codes and other security systems, allowing for more efficient heists and jobs. With the world becoming increasingly operated by computers and networks, L.V is seeking to crack this market wide open and exploit it as much as possible.
TRAITS ;
Positive.
Innovative: L.V envisions to adapt the Family for the 21st century, not keeping to mobster’s usual areas of criminal expertise such as extortion, narcotics, trafficking, etc. Good for creating new streams of revenue, if a little unorthodox.
Disciplinarian: A graduate of prison in his youth, the monotony of prison life (exercise, reading, eating, sleeping) has drilled into L.V a strict and unforgiving work ethic. Dedicated and thorough in the pursuit of his goals.
Close circle: Once you’re in, you might as well be blood. He can make fun of you, but nobody else better. Ride together, die together. Loyalty to close friends and crew members.
Wise-cracker: He might make you laugh, he might make you PO’d. He likes to crack jokes.
Negative.
Traditional: Symbols and gestures of the old country matter, at least when they don’t interfere with business. The art of conversation, lineages, respect for hierarchies, its important. Might come off as narrow-minded or time wasting conformities.
Old school: Social networking is everything, and it’s worse when the only rules are how many years you’ve been around. Believes only those who have been in the game longest deserve any amount of his time, whereas everyone else better act first and prove themselves, before trying to talk.
Ruthless: Better to silence loose ends then to take one’s chances, and to be safe, L.V likes to cast a large net, potentially or not dragging even innocents. Gratuitous killer.
Wise-cracker: He might make you laugh, he might make you PO’d. Jokes might go to far or be too personal.
CONNECTIONS ;
Potential Gambino links to Luca Gambino, Mia Gambino, Annibale Spadoni…?
Others to come…
EXTRAS ;
Divorced, ex-wife and daughter fled to east coast after his mob lifestyle became too much for them.
Has been profiled on the local news a few time, he considers it celebrity tier worthy. Been years though since they mentioned him last…
Since Don Gambino only has a daughter, and usually women don’t rule in the American mafia families, he flirts with the idea of his own power grab for the top spot.
LOOKING FOR ;
Former partners on jobs.
Former one night stand.
Honor rivalry with a Vitaly captain or higher.

Oh, I'm not playing any characters yet!! (Although I hope someone will play the President at some point!) So I'll delete it from the post now haha, and then replace it with one I am actually going to play!
Love your character tho!! Well-developed and a perfect fit for the group!
But if no one has an issue with it, I'd love to play Mia Gambino - the President's daughter. I'm flexible, so I can fill in the characters "missing".

My apologies! Definitely a connection to Mia then. I think he’d definitely be aware of the boss’s daughter, maybe even like an uncle figure for her? Knowing how Italian/sicilian families be and all.
I’m not sure if there might be a starting planned scene but I do have a good introductory phase in mind for how it could be. Going to jump right into the middle of a job.
That’s what I was forgetting! Definitely a connection there. Always have to pay respect to the matriarch.

ROLE ; Sergeant of Arms | Vitaly Traitor - Former Undercover Agent
NAME ; Veronica Sandoval (d) Vitaly
AGE ; 29
GENDER ; Female
SIN ; Gluttony, Envy
LOYALTY ; Gambino, Ex-Vitaly
ORIENTATION ; Heterosexual
FACE CLAIM ; Lana del Ray
INFORMATION ; Agent Veronica Sandoval was originally assigned to monitor the mafia, and spent years undercover as the wife of Dmitri's uncle, Anthony "Tony" Vitaly. "Vorecchie" as they called her, is a play on "orecchie", which means "ears" in Italian. She saw everything, heard everything, knew everything, and eventually came to realize that everything wasn't so bad after all. The drugs. The money. The violence. Maybe she was playing for the wrong side? The lifestyle was harder to walk away from than Veronica ever anticipated.
So she didn't walk away - she just found another way in. Following Tony's assassination, Veronica and the money disappeared without a trace. It was only a matter of time before the Vitaly's figured out her cover, and then she was going to be on every hitlist in town. Her former clan would come to their own conclusions about Vorecchie's betrayal(s), though. Now the Gambino's are testing her loyalty, but the more impossible their challenge - the harder Veronica tries. One day she would prove herself to them, but until then... They gave her a muzzle because the woman talks too much, and told her she better be the first one to take a bullet for any member of the Gambino family.
TRAITS ;
- Resilient; relentless; patient; dedicated; persistent
- Trained in protective services, hand-to-hand, armed
- Adaptive; chameleon, empathetic; high social intelligence
- Temperamental; moody; impulsive; violent
- Addictions, vices (cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, sex)
- Jealous; possessive; greedy; insecure
Widow to Anthony "Tony" Vitaly. Affair with Michael Damiano. Used the Vitaly's own lawyer to legitimize life insurance policies, but neither Nicholai nor Michael ever saw their cut of the deal. Former colleague of Detective Bianca Delgado. Agent Sandoval may still be recognized by members of law enforcement. Currently guarding Vice President Luciano Salvatore Gambino.
EXTRAS ; Veronica may only reply when directly spoken to, and must protect anyone associated with the Gambino's

When it comes to connections....
Obviously, every member of the Gambino family knows each other, and the same goes for every member of the Vitalys.
H o w e v e r , some may know each other better than others! Some may even share secrets.....
That being said, when you post your character profiles in the main character thread (hopefully in a sub-forum soon),
I'll have everyone edit their posts and add an opinion of/connection to every member of their family and of course
you're free to have connections with the opposite family as well, or associates!
You're free to discuss what those connections may be, and even if you don't have a reason to "connect" with them, you might still
have an opinion of them ~ "She's hot", "She's a control freak", "He's a monster", "He hasn't earned his role", "He'll never climb ranks if with that attitude", etc etc!
I'm already loving everything you've planned! And I'm honestly suuuuper excited to start this off.
We're going to follow a timeline, so everyone will need to keep track of what happens when.
Can't have someone break their leg one day only to walk fine the next, you know??
It'll be easier once we get a sub-forum, which I hope we get<3 Because then I'll keep a master timeline
and you'll be able to keep track of what happens to your characters as well!

Holy shit the thread is moving very quickly while I am at work.
I am thinking Penelope Cruz as a FC for my character, Zélia Lopes de Ávila, a liaison between the Columbian Cartel and the Gambinos. Her loyalty is to her cartel, first and foremost, but her relationship to the Gambinos is mutually beneficial.
Maybe she is in a relationship with a high ranking Gambino? Or previously had a relationship with one, which has become strained over the years? Maybe the Vitaly's are vying for her loyalty, and her Columbian connection. Maybe she's losing influence as the gangs transition more towards manufactured party drugs, like MDMA and Meth.
She would have 1-2 bodyguards serving under her, but not a particularly big network of associates in the US. Part of her relationship to the Gambino likely includes her requesting they complete jobs for her.
I will start developing my Vitaly matriach character later on tonight. Also possibly considering a low ranking Gambino, maybe someone who launders money for them?

Thank you! I hope it'll make it easy for everyone to interact with each other and come up with plots!
I'm also super excited to get this sub-forum, as it'll be easier to spread things a bit. Have one thread for character profilesn, another for connections/character plotting and one thread for events/timelines and one for OOC to just discuss ongoing roleplays. Instead of having them all in one go.... I mean, I can barely keep up haha
I knooooow... and I'm headed to bed soon, so I can only imagine what it'll be like waking up to.. But hopefully by tomorrow, my request for a sub-forum has been accepted! And your character(s) sounds like a great deal of fun!

Always on the prowl for Cocchiola crew associates and members, if anything likes, plus any kind of interpersonal relationships, friendship, enemies, or romantic, for L.V.
