You can create any character you want! Some of the high rank roles are taken (and we only need 1 or 2 of them) but you can still be a bodyguard, a captain, soldier/normal member, any type of associate, etc! Depends a little on how much involvement you want, I guess! Either way your character will have some connections to the other characters. If not all, then some!

I am unsure where to post this but think I'll go for an Advisor/Lawyer for The Gambino's and an Accountant/Bookkeeper for The Vitaly's, if that's okay.

Just want to post here, and say I'm still present and very interested. I finally have some time to read (and pester the GM's with questions forever) but will try and get something written up in the character creation thread today.

Hiii!! I am so happy you wanted to join in on the fun! Take your time to read everything. Some characters are only posted here or in the char. creations thread while all the finished characters are posted in the character thread.
My goal is to get this party started next week(end), if everyone has at least one character ready.

Just to make sure I don't mess up your perfectly organized threads; if I finish the character it doesn't need to be approved, it just goes straight to the finished character section?

We are nearing the start of this RP & I hope I'm not the only one who is excited!
There are a few things I'd like to address first, so let's get to it:
about the timeline...
I've decided that the timeline of the roleplay starts Saturday, October 31st, 2020. (In a world where Covid doesn't exist.) We'll move very slowly forward, but I don't think we'll ever catch up with the present day. I've also made a separate thread to keep track of everything that happens & would love for everyone to create a timeline for each of your characters. Just write a headline with your character's name. I can create an example soon. And then I'll create a list with links to each post. One post per timeline. Now, you don't need to be super detailed, but a short summary would be nice. Now, if you want to include important happenings before the timeline starts, you can do that too, just make a headline with "previously" or "in the past" or something similar.
Please make sure to not plot too far ahead of time. As of right now, we're going to stick to November 2020. I'll let you know when you can start plotting for incidents happening later. I don't want someone to end up faaaar ahead of the others.
E.g. (random incidents made up for the sake of this example)
N O V E M B E R , 2 0 2 0 November 1st, Sunday⋙ Mia woke up in a stranger's bed. She couldn't remember how she got there or if anything happened and left the apartment before the unfamiliar man next to her woke up. October 4th, Wednesday⋙ Mia had another training session with Anib. October 7th, Saturday⋙ Mia had an argument with L.V. about her whereabouts the previous night.
when it comes to roleplaying...
Whether you want to roleplay in threads or over PM is up to you and your partner(s). However, try to have at least O N E active thread for others to see/read. Especially roleplays that take place after the timeline has started. This is a group RP, but that does not mean that every single roleplay must include more than two characters. I am going to try to come up with a few plots/settings where everyone is welcome, or at least each family, but there will not be a lot of those. I'm not expecting you to roleplay every little thing happening to your characters either, so feel free to plot with others and create some "behind the scenes"-incidents. All I ask is that everyone includes everyone, so no one feels left out. Not necessarily in terms of roleplay, as I believe not everyone has the capacity to start several roleplays all at once, but when it comes to plotting & connections/interactions.
when do we actually start...
I was actually planning to start it off this weekend, but then I remembered that I won't be home this weekend, and therefore won't be active at all... I'll be able to check my phone, but there's not much I can do from there. I hate typing long messages on my phone, so roleplaying won't be possible. So, I am going to make a P O L L, please answer it! This is just a poll for when to start the first group roleplay - a big event where everyone can make an appearance if they want. Please do not feel obligated to actually post the same day. This thread is going to be open and probably active for a while, so you can post whenever! And if you don't have the time nor the proper motivation, you can always plot with other players and figure out what happened.
After this event, you're free to start anything you want. Within the proper timeframe of course.
when it comes to characters & connections...
When your character is finished, please post their profile in the "Character" thread, so I can finish the character lists. Also, feel free to create more characters as we go. I'm not going to set a limit for the number of characters you can have. Just make sure you can handle it. Your characters don't have to be equally active, but they must be a part of the roleplay nonetheless. Their timeline should have stuff in it. Connections can also be discussed along the way. I know not everyone has made connections with everyone yet, so perhaps we shall try to reach out to those we have not yet plotted with just to find some common ground? At least those with characters belonging to the same family! The rest can come later. But don't stress yourselves out! Do it when you have time.
when it comes to ooc...
Let's try to keep an open dialogue and keep each other updated at all times! You can post in the master thread whenever you want. The OOC thread is for messages regarding real-life stuff, such as absences, apologies, etc.
about your activity...
You decide how active you want to be. Whether you post every single day, once a week, or once a month is entirely up to you. No one is going to bother you about it, just make sure your partner(s) know about it. This means that some roleplays might take longer than others, which is one of the reasons why the timeline will move slowly.
I miiiight have updated the start date for the timeline!

When it comes to when the roleplaying starts, I've made a poll. But since I can't start a poll in this thread, you can find it HERE.
Don't worry if you won't be around, the thread will be active for a while & you can always plot ooc what is going to happen/has happened.
Looks amazing! And makes it very easy to find everyone and their roles. Happy where my characters are, at least for the moment! (Don't think they'll switch sides during the RP but if they do I'll let you know).

I've created the thread for the Halloween Party now, so feel free to start roleplaying whenever you feel like it<3 Or you can plot more first! It's going to stay open and active for weeks, probably.
Also, feel free to start creating your own threads for roleplays too - I'd love to see all the drama eheheh.
Anyways, I'm going to bed, but I'm thrilled about this! You guys are amazing and I'm so happy and grateful that you wanted to be a part of this!
Tag me if you have questions and I'll answer in the morning.
