[BennyQ]

NAME ; Leo Valentino “L.V” Cocchiola. (L.V to people he grew up with, Leo to everyone else)
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 ;
• Affectionate and respectful relationship with Antonia “Mama” Gambino.
• Possible close friendship with Luca Gambino.
• Respectful friendship with Advisor Anib of the Gambino family.
• Respectful friendship with Luciano Salvatore Gambino, younger brother to Luca Gambino.
• Employer of Kaegan Rowe.

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…
• Small tattoo on inner left forearm, depicting an eagle seizing a heart in its talons. Signifies assassin in prison lingo.
• Six feet, two inches tall.


LOOKING FOR ;
• Former partners on jobs.
• Former one night stand.
• Honor rivalry with a Vitaly captain or higher.
• Cocchiola Crew members and associates.

 

[Vinaein]

WANTED ROLE ; Vitaly | Vitaly assassin

NAME ; Michael Damiano
AGE ; 30
GENDER ; male
SIN ; Wrath, Lust
LOYALTY ; Vitaly
ORIENTATION ; Heterosexual

INFORMATION ; Michael was born into the grim life of the underworld. A distant cousin with blood going back to the 'Old Country,' Michael sought to break away and joined the army. Taking time overseas in special forces, Michael instead developed a brutal outlook towards life as a result of his deeds and returned home to the waiting Vitaly family, now a perfect assassin and soldier, performing his missions flawlessly for the Vitaly family, though always with one eye towards what might still be and a slight lust to test his limits in all things.

TRAITS ;

• Ruthless, driven, dangerous to provoke, if measured.​
• Well trained in combat, stealth and arms​
• Able to adapt socially, but hard to maintain personal relationships for long.​
• Violent, dangerous when provoked.​
• Addictions, vices: sex, alcohol​
• Seemingly apathetic at first glance.​

CONNECTIONS ; Well known in the underworld, former special ops.

EXTRAS ; will obey the Vitalys on almost any measure.

 

[Vinaein]

WANTED ROLE ; Luciano Salvatore Gambino | Gambino VP/potential shadow ruler
AGE ; 29
GENDER ; male
SIN ; Greed, Lust, Pride
LOYALTY ; Gambino
ORIENTATION ; Heterosexual

INFORMATION ; The younger brother, the one in shadows, Luciano knew from the early years he was destined to rise in the syndicate of the Gambino family. What was more, Luc was good at it. So good, in fact, that he rose to command multiple endeavors by the time he was 20. Ruthless, adept and skilled in the arts of "business," Luc learned the art of power, of having the right friends and the value of remaining within the shadows as not to become a target yourself...helping the Gambinos through what most take to be 'good advice,' Luc handles much of the day to day runnings and diplomacy through the criminal endeavors, but with one creed as well: Family Is All.

Luc cares for his family and will do anything to see them safe, even with the ruthless creed of a mafioso: If the right hand offends the body?

Cut it off.

TRAITS ;

• Personable, friendly, analytical.​
• Diplomatic.​
• No great fighter by any means, but has left himself trained.​
• Highly socially intelligent, capable of blending well into the background​
• Reserved and calm, very thorough in approach.​
• Handles vices in measured amounts (alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling)​
• Protective of inner circle.​

CONNECTIONS ; High ranking in the Gambino organization.

 

[Retrojapan]

ROLE ; Sergeant of Arms | Undercover

NAME ; Veronica Vitaly née Sandoval
AGE ; 29
GENDER ; Female
SIN ; Gluttony, Greed
LOYALTY ; Gambino
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 former Vice President Anthony "Tony" Vitaly. "𝒱𝑜𝓇𝑒𝒸𝒸𝒽𝒾𝑒," as they affectionately called her, is a play on "orecchie", meaning "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? The lifestyle was harder to walk away from than Veronica ever anticipated. Did she walk away, or just find another way in?

Following Tony's assassination, Veronica and a hell of a lot of blood money disappeared without a trace. She knew it was only a matter of time before her cover was blown, and the Vitaly's had her 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, and 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; dedicated; persistent [ + ] Trained in protective services, hand-to-hand, armed [ + ] Adaptive; chameleon, deceptive; high social intelligence [ - ] Temperamental; moody; impulsive; violent [ - ] Addictions, vices (cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, sex) [ - ] Jealous; possessive; greedy; easily bored

CONNECTIONS ; Vitaly / Law Enforcement / Gambino
Widow to the President's late brother Anthony "Tony" Vitaly / Dimitri Vitaly's very estranged aunt. Affair with hitman Michael Damiano. Dianora Vitaly was the older sister she always wanted. Colleague and former best friend to Detective Bianca Delgado. Currently guarding Vice President Luciano Salvatore Gambino. Looks up to Antonia Gambino as the mother she never had.

EXTRAS ; Veronica may only reply when directly spoken to by a member of the Gambino family

LOOKING FOR ;

• Someone to control her
• A place to call home
• Ulterior motives

 

[Magno]

WANTED ROLE; Advisor and/or head trainer.
NAME ; Annibale "Il Lupo" Spadoni (Anib)
AGE ; 22-60 GENDER ; Male
SIN ; Wrath
LOYALTY ; The Gambino
ORIENTATION ; Heterosexual (bot not too keen)
FACE CLAIM ; Mads Mikkelsen

INFORMATION
Seasoned war veteran. He's been fighting for more than half of his life, and he is not going to stop. Recruited for the army first, then retired due to too many wounds and being considered incapable of fighting almost 25 years ago (that really pissed him off). When he tried to resume his "normal" life, he had to take care of a daughter he did not even know he had, after her mother died from cancer. He did not run a paternity test, just took her and dealt with it. Somehow, she gave his life purpose and made him happy, for a while. He trained her like a soldier, was perhaps too harsh on her, so as soon as she turned 18 she left, and he never saw her again. He went through his connections to find a new purpose in life, trying to see if someone could give him a last chance of proving himself.
Now he makes a living out of training youngsters for Luca Gambino, but is really just looking for a chance to die and epic death. He assumes that he will not see his daughter again, unless she changes her mind about him, but given her inherited stubbornness, he has no hope of that ever happening.

TRAITS
Positive

• Pretty good at close combat, even with all his wounds.
• Usually sees through people's intentions straight away.
• Knows a great deal of intel related to the drug market from source to destination.

Negative

• Is relatively depressed since his daughter left and struggles to find meaning in life.
• Can be too stubborn in situations where he might not have the authority for it.
• Can't run too fast because of the limp, and can't calculate distances well because of the missing eye.
• Will hit you first and ask later.

EXTRAS •

• Will try to find his daughter and convince her to come back to him.
• Swears a lot.
• Can be pretty harsh on others, but would happily die for anyone he cares about.
• Still dreams of being a hero.
• His respect is hard to earn but also hard to lose.

CONNECTIONS

• Bianca Delgado - His daughter. He does not know that she is a police officer. He does not know that she is a dirty detective for the Vitaly's. But he loves her over anything else, over any allegiances or promises he will always do what he thinks is best for her.
• Antonia Gambino - He thinks she is a very respectable and intelligent woman. Growing old has always scared him, and if a heroic death is not a way out, perhaps some company might be. Who knows.
• LV - A pretty decent soldier. He has helped him out in the past, and also values his opinion highly. The man is tough as a rock and Anib sees him as a potential candidate to take up his position after he dies or retires.
• Luciano Gambino - Not his boss. Yes, he might be a Gambino, but Anib takes no orders from cowards and, in his mind, Luciano is weak and sneaky. However, he might have misjudged him. People he respects do speak highly of him, and he is probably the more intelligent of the brothers. However, not a good leader. Not yet.
• Veronica Sandoval - He does not trust her one bit.

LOOKING FOR Anything

 

[Magno]

WANTED ROLE ; Leader of the Vitaly criminal organisation
NAME ; Dimitri Vitaly (many nicknames, but none to his face)
AGE ; 24
GENDER ; Male
SIN ; Greed? Nah. Pride? Not a bit. Wrath? Never. Envy? No. Lust? Oh, please. Gluttony? Hmmm, chocolate is nice... SLOTH! He's a lazy asshole.
LOYALTY ; The Vitalys (himself, mainly)
ORIENTATION ; Bisexual
FACE CLAIM ; Max Riemelt

INFORMATION ;
Dimitri was born to a household where suitcases of money ran through the corridors, drugs were kept next to the cereal boxes and almost the same amount of corpses and prostitutes came and went out of the door each day. As a kid, it did not take long to understand what his family was into, but rather than question his situation or complain, he simply took it to be the norm. Did it affect his mental health? Perhaps not as much as people might think. He did not have such a bad childhood, being the son of who he was. In fact, he was quite happy. The life of a Vitaly seemed exciting.

Until his older sister, Alexandra, died. It was not a simple death. It was murder, and it was rape, and it was all the terrible things a 10 year old should have not seen through the hacked security cameras that went into his gaming computer. There was a terrible gang war following the incident, with many casualties, house moves, and a realisation that life as a Vitaly would require many sacrifices.

And a different way of doing things.

As he grew up, Dimitri realised that he would either have to engage in the dirty and bloody tactics which had surrounded the criminal world for years, or he would have to change the rules of the game. Others had tried before him, but none had succeeded. Of course, many were still set in their own ways, so they had to go. The raw muscle soldiers would be replaced, eventually, with professional assassins. The drug dealers, with lawyers. The spies with hackers. And most importantly, the control of the money would come before the fights, not after them. Simple, clean, and way more effective. His father, however, did not agree when he proposed this. The man was obsessed with getting revenge for his deceased daughter, even after such a bloody war. He was still planning on having the Vitaly family beat the Gambino family at their own game, and Dimitri knew that would lead nowhere.

Plus his father was a dick. And a well rounded idiot. Dimitri had him killed when it was time for him to take over, after confirming that he had the support he needed from his mother, lawyer, assassins and pretty much everyone else. It just came much sooner than most people expected. Legally speaking it was an accident, and most people in the Vitaly criminal organisation simply blamed the Gambinos. The job was perfect, and Dimitri only had to make sure that all the loose strings were cut. Uncle Tony had to die too, he was too close to Veronica and could not be trusted. Once the older part of the organisation was down, with the exception of his dear mother, Dimitri took change into his own hands.

It was exciting, for a while. Everyone knows is a criminal mastermind, but he has no motivation. No, Dimitri is simply unpredictable because he himself does not know what he will do the following day. When and idea comes to him, he acts on it. And his plans just work, because no one knows them. He can not be betrayed, because he does not trust anybody. Family? Family is a joke. He believes that to be respected and followed, he needs to give people more than what they want. So he only works with those whom he can buy, either with money, power, or some other reason.

The Vitaly family has been changing its direction lately. They will let the Gambinos take the drug market for a while... in exchange, Vitalys will drive their tentacles deep into the political parties, companies, courthouses, police, internet... They will take control of everything which controls the drug market, and soon enough, Gambinos will all be a joke. Unless tomorrow, Dimitri decides to change his mind. He does that quite often.


TRAITS ;

Positive:

• He advocates for less violence, more freedom for people who work for him and tends to be kind unless he's in a bad mood.
• He sees through most people's plans, and simply thinks ahead of everything.
• He is always right. People hate him for it, but he will say "I told you so" way too often for someone his age.

Negative:

• He can be childish sometimes, or at least seem childish to people who do not follow his reasoning.
• He takes too many risks. So far, they have paid off, but he is hard to trust.
• His mood might change all of a sudden. He can be incredibly annoying to deal with.

CONNECTIONS ; (will update as characters appear, need to sort out a bit the backstory based on the main thread conversation)

• Xinya Ren - She is closer to him than most people know. She is the person he trusts the most in the whole organisation, and that has been a conscious choice. They have more in common than what one would suspect.
• Bianca Delgado - Julius Vitaly hired her for dirty detective work, and blackmailed her to stay. Dimitri turned Bianca to his side by destroying all evidence against her and setting her "free", in exchange for her making his father's death look like an accident. He knows who her father is, but did not use that piece of information... yet.

EXTRAS ;

• Main goal is to take over the whole country. Or is it? Who knows, it might change tomorrow.
• He has shit on everyone. Knows the ropes of hacking since he was 10, and not many people are aware of the fact that the "secret" Vitaly phones which he hands out are all monitored by him or someone very close to him. The phone cameras and microphones are on 24/7.
• He hates the word "mafia". Disgusting. Vitaly crime corp sounds much better.

LOOKING FOR ;
A political connection?
Some undercover agent in/close to the Gambino family?

 

[Retrojapan]

ROLE ; CEO of ɢᴀʟᴀxᴀ ᴍᴏʙɪʟᴇ Vitaly Group Corporation | Hacker

NAME ; Xinya Ren
AGE ; 25
GENDER ; Female
SIN ; Pride, Envy
LOYALTY ; Vitaly
ORIENTATION ; Heterosexual
FACE CLAIM ; Ngô Thanh Vân

INFORMATION ; Xinya Ren and Dimitri Vitaly began as childhood rivals in the virtual underground, but over the years would earn other's respect, and eventually reveal their true identities. Xinya revealing that she was an only child who spent her life online, and rarely saw another person. Dimitri revealing that he was the son of notorious mafia President Julius Vitaly. It was like meeting a celebrity for a nobody like Xinya Ren. Over the years Dimitri would bring Xinya into a world she had only ever seen through screens. She didn't even hesitate when offered to be the face of Vitaly's mobile enterprise - ɢᴀʟᴀxᴀ ᴍᴏʙɪʟᴇ. Talk about a Cinderella story. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity - even if Dimitri was just manipulating her to do his dirty work. Xinya didn't care. At least he needed her.

Xinya continues to operate as a hacker under the alias 𝙅𝙞𝙣𝙭, but it's becoming harder and harder to manage her double life...

TRAITS ;

[ + ] Academic; methodical; analytical; calculated; knowledgeable [ + ] Computer prodigy since childhood; hacking; cyber security [ + ] Confident; ambitious; creative; loyal; professional [ - ] Co-Dependent attachment; lonely; isolated [ - ] Masochistic; sadistic; antisocial; blunt [ - ] Vulnerable to exploitation, manipulation

CONNECTIONS ; Vitaly / Virtual / Law Enforcement
Childhood friend of Dimitri Vitaly and CEO of Vitaly franchise ɢᴀʟᴀxᴀ ᴍᴏʙɪʟᴇ - reporting directly to the President. Detective Bianca Delgado refers to Xinya with any digital evidence against the Vitaly's. The Police Department has their tech contract with ɢᴀʟᴀxᴀ ᴍᴏʙɪʟᴇ. 𝙅𝙞𝙣𝙭 is a prolific hacker who is well regarded in the online community.

EXTRAS ; Dimitri is the only one who knows of Xinya's alter ego

LOOKING FOR ;

• Intel, intel, intel
• Lucrative opportunities
• A connection to the Gambino's

 

[KaeganofAmber]

WANTED ROLE ; Hacker/Infiltrator

NAME ; Kaegan Rowe

AGE ; 26

GENDER ; Male

SIN ; Envy

LOYALTY ; The Gambinos

ORIENTATION ; Heterosexual

FACE CLAIM ;

Face Claim

INFORMATION ; Digging on the past of Kaegan doesn't surmount to much. In fact, little is known about him, and one can only wonder if his name is even real. Part of the trade though. Kaegan specializes in electronics and driving, though is as witty with his spoken words as he is with typed code. To blend into many roles, he keeps his body in shape to not fit the stereotype of a desk hacker. This works well for more hands on infiltration.

Hacker Alias is: Ghost.

[S]Ghost[/S]

Ghost is only spoken of in the hacker community's dark web, due to his actions being classified by the US government due to their sensitive nature. Rumors on the dark web suggest that Ghost "liberated" a government asset A.I. and evaded authorities. The coverup was both to hide international embarrassment and their research.

TRAITS ; Positive: Intelligent, Stoic, Charasmatic. Negative: Bad with authority. (Does his own thing), Quick to be violent, slow to trust.

CONNECTIONS ; Unknown

EXTRAS ; Seems to enjoy his drinks and food (coffee, tea, beer, liquor, soda, milkshakes).

CONNECTIONS

• Leo Valentino “L.V” Cocchiola - Kaegan's connection to the Gambinos. Essentially his boss for hacking and infiltration jobs.

• Antonia "Mama" Gambino - Her "Professional" Driver.

• Secretly works free agent jobs for the Vitaly as a hacker, and secretly from that, works in the coffee shop at the lobby of one of their offices.​

• Knows of the hacker JINX as his alias Ghost.

LOOKING FOR

• Connection. Ironically, this hacker has lost all of a social life and family, not that research upon his background bares any fruit. He simply doesn't exist, but that also makes Kaegan yearn for some sort of place to fit into.​

Money. Everyone wants money. Also, University is expensive when you have no support system.

Any information that'll give him an edge over another. Dirt, what they like, digital background. He will know you second only to you.

M I A _- G A M B I N O
ROLE ; Luca Gambino's daughter​

NAME ; Mia Gambino
AGE ; 23
GENDER ; Female
SIN ; Envy
LOYALTY ; The Gambinos
ORIENTATION ; Heterosexual
FACE CLAIM ; Kaya Scodelario

INFORMATION
Growing up being the daughter of a mobster was not as fun as one might imagine. Not only was she not allowed to have any friends, but she was barely allowed to go outside, especially not without anyone watching her every move. As she grew older, she learned how to sneak out and also how to make sure those who claimed they saw her kept their mouths shut. But that also resulted in her getting into trouble, with no one there to help her out of it. She'll never ask for anyone's help, unless she needs their expertise. Her father might be oblivious, but she's not his precious little girl anymore. No, she's a woman - a warrior. She can take care of herself, or at least she likes to believe she can. Her father has always been strict and overprotective and has tried to keep her safe and in the shadows, but Mia eventually grew tired of being weak and helpless, so she decided to take matters into her own hands. She might be in over her head, but at least she no longer feels like a damsel in distress. She hates conflict, drama, arguing and (real) fighting, but will do everything in her power to protect the people she cares about. She's loyal to her family, but dreams of a life of her own, a life of freedom. A life without guns, blood and crime.

TRAITS

Positive​

• She doesn't really take bullshit from anyone​

• She'll carry all her secrets to her grave​

• She's often underestimated, which gives her an advantage​

​

Negative​

• She is too stubborn for her own good, and refuse to ask for help / wait until it's too late​

• She cares too much about others and if she needs to be miserable in order to keep them safe and happy, she'll gladly accept her fate​

• She avoids problems - a true believer of "out of sight, out of mind" - until it blows up in her face​

EXTRAS
• Her mother died (or left???) shortly after her birth
• She's sick of being treated like a child and being stuck on the sideline every fucking time
• She wants to be a badass, but it still pisses her off when people can't just be friends
• She is longing for a more normal life, a life where there's not a war between families
• Dreaming of a knight in shining armor who will sweep her off her feet

CONNECTIONS
• Luca Gambino - father, she loves/hates him
• L.V. Valentino - "uncle" figure, cares for him but has a funny way of showing it, doesn't like him teaming up with her father all the time
• Anib Spadoni - her secret, personal trainer, grateful for his help but hates him for being such a pain in her ass
• Luciano Gambino - her actual uncle, although she sees him as more of an older brother, she cares for him, even though he's a bit overprotective
• Antonia Gambino - her grandmother, really fond of, Mia calls her "nonna"
• Veronica Sandoval - xxx
• Gabriel Vitaly - trapped in his nest, craves his attention but fears him at the same time

LOOKING FOR
• A Vitaly who has her wrapped around their finger, one she's afraid of
• Her fatheeeeer - Luca Gambino, obviously
• A Gambino who has secretly trained her behind her father's back
• Someone who has dirt on her and uses it against her

[BennyQ]

NAME ; Francis Hook.
AGE ; 34.
GENDER ; Male.
SIN ; Wrath.
LOYALTY ; Police Department.
ORIENTATION ; Heterosexual.

FACE CLAIM ;

INFORMATION
• Francis Hook was always enamored of police and detective work, religiously watching various CSI serials and 80s action movies based around “mega-cop” heroes. His drive and motive to ascend the ranks of the police department were further solidified when his older brother was slain as an innocent bystander during periods of mob violence in his hometown, compelling him to swear an oath of revenge on the heartless mobsters who conducted their business without an empathetic care in the world. Right out of high school he signed up for the police academy, earning top marks and distinction, and quickly proving himself to be a vigorous, compassionate, and relentless cop on a beat for many, many years, until passing the detective’s exam in his mid-twenties. For nine years he served with distinction, first in the arson and narcotics squads, before finally being made Sergeant, and then Lieutenant, of the RPD’s Organized Crime unit. His command consists of three other lower ranked detectives, who help him in profiling, recording, and building strong cases against the city’s top mafia figures.

Unfortunately, there are commissioners and city councilmembers with much greater sway than him, on the mob’s payrolls, that often shut down his investigations prematurely with red tape or outright political burying. But still, Hook is determined to achieve his end goal. His optimism and inscrutable honesty however gives him a veneer of naivety that prevents him from seeing how much of his own systems of justice are weighed against him.

TRAITS
• Marksmanship: Francis is a top shot, excelling in the American art of superb and safe gun handling and control. He is the master of non-fatal kneecap blow outs.
• Incorruptible: Bribes? On the take? Skimming off the top? Yeah he accepts those…if you want a fast track ticket right to jail. Immune to the sins of greed and money.
• Diligent: Every t is crossed, every i is dotted. It’ll be very difficult to get out on a mistrial or administrative error. Francis has a knack for remembering faces and/or names.

• By the book: Francis upholds the rule of law to the letter. That means there can be no deviation from the rulebook. And if a superior officer tells him to stand down, he must obey, even if that officer…is on the take. While the law is powerful, it moves slowly, and through very controlled filters, with so much red tape…
• Temperamental: Francis has anger issues. He despises criminality, to the point of being the bully to the bullies. He is easily provoked and can often be used against him. Since he is so by the book, if he oversteps, mishandles a suspect too harshly, breaks his own code of law, he is obliged to let the perp walk, because that is not how things are legally done, and he is foolishly honor-bound to that.
• Headstrong: Francis is predictable. If bread crumbs are purposefully laid out to lead him to a dead end, he will very likely take it, rushing straight forward with his righteous fury, before realizing he’s been led right into a brick wall, often too late to veer the ship back on the right course. Potentially an easy target for misinformation and dummy-ops by the criminals he pursues.

EXTRAS
• Basketball fanatic. Has his own net in the police station backlot, a good place to therapeutically play and relax his mind while working a case.
• Ambitions to break the back of the mob, similar to how the federal government at large struck at the mob in the 80s and 90s crackdown.
• At the same time, despises the federal government for both not going far enough, yet interfering in such obstructive ways with local state and municipal investigations, leading to mix-ups, failures, and cold trails.
• The two family Bosses and some of their top staff and captains are known to him, on his “perp board” but much of the lower ranking members and associates are still under his radar.

CONNECTIONS
• Detective Bianca Delgado – Officer in his Organized Crime unit. He doesn’t know about her mob connections…yet.

LOOKING FOR
• Someone he’s personally arrested before, but they got out easily on bail or some other mishandling of evidence or procedure.
• “Romeo & Juliet” romance with a lady mobster.
• Someone to arrest and interrogate, perhaps getting nothing…or something.

 

[Xanaphia]

NAME ; Zelia Lopes de Avila
AGE ; 48
GENDER ; Female
SIN ; Lust, greed,
LOYALTY ; The Gambinos
ORIENTATION ; Bisexual
FACE CLAIM ; Penelope Cruz

INFORMATION
• Zelia belongs to the Sinaloa cartel, and represents their interests in SoCal. Practically, it means she’s the biggest and best source of pure Columbian cocaine in the region. Years ago, she developed an exclusive arrangement with the Gambinos to provide them with large amounts of drugs, on a regular basis. This relationship has proven very profitable to both Zelia and the Gambinos, a relationship Zelia frequently calls to handle little inconviences for her. After all, staying under the radar of law enforcement means she has to keep a low profile, so she only has one or two personal guards under her command. Zelia doesn’t worry much, however. The Gambinos would lose a lot, if they lost her favor.

Of course, if they did fuck her over, the Cartel would not only start selling cocaine to the Vitaly’s, they’d also ship them enough guns to take over a small country.

TRAITS

• Loves to Party- Zelia is always invited to the biggest parties in SoCal, and she’s always there.
• Savvy Businesswoman- She makes a lot of money for the Sinaloa, and she keep careful and accurate track of every last dollar.
• Friendly- While her primary client in the region are the Gambinos, she has lots of friends with expensive coke habits that she handles personally.
• Strict- She doesn’t tolerate drug users in her direct employ or in her business connections. She won’t sell 100 kilos of coke to a junkie, nor trust a junkie around her supply.
• Isolated-Even though she is well connected to the Sinaloa cartel, she doesn’t have many allies in close proximity. While she has no doubt the cartel would avenge her death with bloody vengeance, it doesn’t do much to keep her safe directly.
• Player- Zelia enjoys the company of beautiful men and women, and doesn’t hesitate to pursue her latest attraction. Regardless of their –or her– relationship status.

EXTRAS
•

CONNECTIONS
• Luciano( @Vinaein ) and/or Anib ( @Magno )- Her connection in the Gambino Family
•
•

LOOKING FOR

• A Gambino connection.
• A Gambino lover or party buddy (if she isn’t sleeping with them yet, she’s trying to get into their pants).
• A subordinate lover.
• A subordinate looking to usurp her position.
• A rival drug connection.
• A wealthy coke fiend.
• A DEA agent hot on her trail.

SIN ; envy, pride, greed
LOYALTY ;The Vitalys
ORIENTATION ; Closeted bisexual,
FACE CLAIM ; Lisa Edelstein

INFORMATION
• After a betrayal by a childhood friend, Dianora found her purpose in life: Defeat Antonia Giovanni. She pursued and won the heart of Julius, the Vitaly heir. For many years, life was good. Sure, he cheated on her frequently, but she lived a life of abundance and wealth, so she didn’t mind so much.

After Alexsandra died, however, something changed in Julius. He became violent, angry, and abusive. Not even her wealth could console Dianora anymore, but if she divorced him, Antonia would have won. Instead she turned to her young son, grooming him for power in organization. She thought him to be ambitious, and cunning, pointing out every mistake his father made. When he decided to get rid of his father, she let him think it was his idea all along. As if her constant teachings had nothing to do with it.

TRAITS

• Smart- Knowledge is power, and Dianora loves power.
• Ambitious- She set her sights high, and reached great heights.
• Patient- She will outlast her enemies.
• Conniving- Always plotting and planning and looking to better her position. Has little loyalty to anyone.
• Cruel- Indifferent, at best, to the suffering of others. Can be a bit of a sadist.
• Holds a grudge- Never forgets –or forgives– a slight.
• Alcoholic– She thinks she hides it well. She doesn’t.
• 
  
  
  CONNECTIONS
• Married Julius Vitaly, former president of the Vitaly
• Dmitri – Son
• Antonia Gambino- Former friend, current frenemy?

NAME ; Anastazia Rosalind "Asya or Rosa" Volkov
AGE ; 23
GENDER ; Female
SIN ; Wrath, Lust
LOYALTY ; The Vitalys
ORIENTATION ; Bisexual
FACE CLAIM ; Margot Robbie

INFORMATION ;
Anastazia was the baby of the Volkov family and it showed in her upbringing. Doted on from all sides, she grew up spoiled. The lack of consequences however didn't help. From a young age, Rosa as she was known to her family seemed to understand she was different from the others of her family. On the outside, she appeared to be a precocious child, with a bubbly personality and a thirst for knowledge. While not entirely a front, she found pleasure in manipulations.. This would only evolve

In her teenage years this started to leak out. Getting into fights she delighted in brutal violence both physically and emotionally. It came to the point that it was determined she needed professional help. The diagnoses? Anastazia suffered from psychopathic tendencies. She could mimic emotions, was manipulative to name just a few.

Far too late for her to change, if change had ever been possible. In her late teens she'd shown interest in the business of a family friend after her older brother directed her their way. She'd be a good fit, she'd be safer if she worked for the family and she'd have an outlet for her cravings.

TRAITS ;

Positive:

• Fiercely loyal

• Sadistic
• Lack of empathy

NAME ; Nicholai Volkov
AGE ; 32
GENDER ; Male
SIN ; Pride, Greed
LOYALTY ; The Vitalys
ORIENTATION ; Bisexual
FACE CLAIM ; Alexander Skarsgård
​

INFORMATION ;
Always a proud man, Nicholai Volkov felt he deserved more in life than even his parents, already successful in their own right, and his lack of morality made it a simple thing for him to do almost anything to achieve it. It didn't help when his younger sister was born, he felt a strong bond with her, even as she grew older he could tell she was as broken as he was, even more so. Where he managed to calmly analyse and manipulate things behind the scenes, with a penchant for keeping his name away from the more sinister activities he partook in, she was violent, unpredictable and his affection for her was seemingly without limits. He spent a lot of his youth dealing with her sadistic tendencies that he did his best to hide in her wake.

Law school only made him more determined to take what he could from the system and while there he made connections that would put him in contact with the Vitaly family. He rose quickly, but not quickly enough for his liking and found he had no love for the leader of the family. After introducing his sister to them and finding her a place he quickly learned that she was seen as a liability due to her violent and unpredictable nature. Fortune then, that he wasn't the only one who was not fond of the direction the family was moving in, there was a son that hungered for power as much as he did, and a few words in his ear was all it took. Now Nicholai is finding it's a delicate balance, holding on to all he has gained, keeping his hold on power while still cleaning up after his baby sister, the only person he could truly say he cared for and as for everybody else? There were all threats to him.

TRAITS ;
Positive:

• Intelligent ​
• Patient ​
• Analytical​

Negative:

• Manipulative​
• Over-confident​
• Paranoid​
• Arrogant​

CONNECTIONS ;
Sister - Anastazia
Ally - Dimitry Vitaly

EXTRAS ;
Has a crush on his own sister that he does his best to hide.
Is loyal so long as there is benefit to him, but if anybody other than Rosa was to become a detriment, he can turn quickly.
Has a fondness for extravagant weapons despite not being very good with them.
Has a strong distaste for blood.
Actually rather likes Dimitri...for now.

LOOKING FOR ;
A contact in law enforcement that he can somewhat trust.
Somebody to keep him informed of his sister's movements so he can pre-empt the chaos.

[Tuska of Worlds]

WANTED ROLE ; Arms Dealer/Pawnshop Owner

NAME ; Yuri "Red" Anderson

AGE ; 30

GENDER ; Male

SIN ; Greed

LOYALTY ; Neutral, mostly just interested in making money and willing to work with either or even both families

ORIENTATION ; Heterosexual

FACE CLAIM ; James Maslow


INFORMATION

Yuri has lived in Riverside for most of his adult life after moving from a small town in northern California. He runs a moderately successful pawnshop as a legal cover for his lucrative arms dealing racket. Yuri left his hometown because he didn't want to end up a logger like his father and there weren't many other opportunities there. At first he set up the pawnshop as a straight business but soon found that selling firearms to the local gangs netted him quite a bit more money. Yuri quickly found the risk in selling to known criminals to be worth the reward and began delving deeper into crime. Soon enough he found contacts who wanted to sell or otherwise get rid of illegal weapons and he began selling those to others at a mark up. As the profits increased he became more and more motivated to find more weapons to sell and now he's far too deep into things to see a way out. Not that he cares, by doing all of this he has seen more money than the last two generations of his family have ever seen and he doesn't intend on stopping.​

TRAITS

Positive
• Opportunistic - Yuri will jump at any chance to make money and usually has the wit or business sense to successfully follow through

• Paranoid Schemer - Yuri is aware that he runs a precarious business that could be shut down at any moment if someone talks or messes up, so he tends to make up back up plans and usually back up plans for those plans and so on.

• Gun Guru - Since Yuri has been selling weapons for many years now he's become quite knowledgeable about them, though he's not a true gunsmith he could probably fix most problems a gun may have.

Negative
• Shortsighted Greed - It's an undeniable fact that Yuri is entirely motivated by money in most of what he does, this can usually get him into trouble if there's enough money on the line to make him forget his better judgement.

• Guilty Hedonist - Yuri will never talk about it but knowing that he sells weapons to criminals has weighed on his conscience since he sold his first gun to a gangster. He often deals with this by reluctantly spending his money on things that could make him feel better like alcohol and women.

• Not a Fighter - Despite the fact that Yuri sells weapons, he is not personally talented in the art of violence. He'd lose in a straight up fight with most people and he does not take pain very well.
​

EXTRAS
• Yuri is a third generation Russian Immigrant, meaning his grandparents came from Russia while both of his parents were born in the United States.
• Yuri can speak and read some Russian but is not fluent
• His Pawnshop is named "Red's Trade and Pawn"
• Yuri greatly enjoys looking at gold and silver, whether in bar form or as objects
• Red is his nickname only because he happens to like the color red
• Yuri greatly dislikes spending money and as such does not show his wealth

CONNECTIONS

• TBD​

LOOKING FOR

• Bodyguard who also works at the pawnshop
• Girlfriend kept around by his money and not much else
• Anyone who may want to do business both legal and illegal

[Malice Crowe]

WANTED ROLE Captain (Capo) for the Vitaly Family


​

NAME Gabriel Matteo Vitaly
AGE 46
GENDER Male
SIN Pride, Wrath, and Lust
LOYALTY The Vitalys (To the family/organization, not any single person strictly)
ORIENTATION Heterosexual
FACE CLAIM Mark Kileen


INFORMATION
Gabriel is Julius's younger first cousin, he was born in Italy actually, in the city of Catania, but his parents brought him to the USA rather early on when he was 2 years old. Due to this he doesn't have any accent, but he does speak fluent Italian, along with a couple other languages. He grew up, despite being rather wealthy, in a fairly bad situation. His father was a member of the Esercito Italiano before they left the country and a corrupt, brute of a man, he often cheated on and beat his wife, even in front of his son at times. Gabriel's mother was no better, she was conniving and disloyal to her husband, as well as the family as a whole. When she was found out, she just never came home again. Gabriel was still a child at the time and not mature enough to truly realize why. His father was after another woman within a couple weeks.

Gabriel's schooling, his educational upbringing, was rather harsh as well. His father demanded the best and if he did not deliver, there was punishment. Gabriel learned quickly to deliver, to accel, eventually, he found out he liked being better than the other students in class. In his school life, he was rather popular, great at sports, extremely smart and a good looking young man, he had a lot of friends, though truly, not many of them actually knew him, even fewer got to see the darker side that was growing in the shadows of his mind. It was like night and day for him, the discrepancy between public and private life, it's something that carried over thoroughly into adulthood. When Gabriel turned 18, due to a heavy fascination with the American military, his father bullied him into joining the Army rather than allowing him a place in the family business.

It turned out that such a place was rather a good fit for Gabriel, he already had the discipline going in due to dad's cruelty and he had, due to his aggressive pursuit of football and baseball, a well worked physique already. He shined through his basic training, especially in close quarters combat. After the first four year stint, he re-enlisted. It was during this second term while he was serving in Afghanistan that his father passed away due to heart complications from alcoholism and drug use, cocaine. Gabriel found that he really didn't care, perhaps a sign of his own already warped mental state. He did not go so far as to decline the leave offered to him to attend the funeral however as he felt it would have been rude, improper to the rest of the family. After he returned to active duty he was selected for the special forces, the Green Berets.

Again, due to his, now rather sadistic, attitude about being the best, this was a thing Gabriel succeeded at. He passed all the tests he needed to pass with high marks, his highest again being close quarters combat. He's no slouch with firearms, but up close and personal has always been his favorite way to engage in a fight. Sadly he was not destined to have as shining a career in the armed forces as it seemed, or one at all actually. When Gabriel was 28 he was on leave with a few of his squad mates at a bar in Texas, the evening had dragged on and they were rather drunk. A fight started between Gabriel and a couple of the bars other patrons, he was hitting on one of their wives. It came to blows when Gabriel taunted the men and one of them swung on him. He went through them like they were dust and it took all three of his friends to pull him away from beating one of the men to death after he had crippled the other. He was jailed and prosecuted, though he appealed to his family to get himself out of it. The use of his mob connections got him a general discharge under honorable conditions. It sighted PTSD from his time in Afghanistan as the main reason. After this he went to work for the family as an enforcer and Assassin. Gabriel, due to combat experience and having killed people before, had no issue with the work, it was rather freeing to have less rules actually. Due to his brains, training, and his being immediate family, he climbed quickly to gain his current position. He is a well trusted member of the organization.

When his cousin Julius's daughter was murdered, he participated in the bloody conflict that followed it. He was of course, there for his family member as well and as a captain spent quite a bit of time cleaning up messy situations Julius would get into because of grief. Due to this he very well realized that the head of the family was slowly losing their mind because of the trauma. Though he doesn't know for sure, he has his suspicions about who killed his cousin. Gabriel won't act on them though. He sees Julius's death as a necessary road that had to be taken for the family to avoid catastrophic results. Gabriel doesn't stick his nose into it as he would have supported the move anyways.


TRAITS
(Positive are green, negative are orange)

• Diplomatic/Charming - Gabriel, publicly at least, is excellent with people. If he figures it'll advance the families goals, he's not above working with anyone, the Gambinos, smaller gangs, hackers, drug dealers, even law enforcement. He is good at making himself seem the lesser of the evils. He comes off as generous, professional and very reasonable.

• Good Looking - No bones about it, most people would describe Gabriel as rather striking in appearance. He stands at 6'3" and is muscular, in very good shape. He never allowed himself to lose that from the military. He has a bit of a boyish smile, mischievous but honest and eyes that would eat one alive. He also pulls off the rugged look well with his salt-n-pepper hair.

• Presence - When Gabriel enters a room, whether one is looking or not, they know it. He's not a wallflower and not timid to approach anyone no matter who they are. The confidence of a lion rolls from him like a tsunami, crushing the less bold under its weight. He's is old enough to know however, not to go so far as to be tactless, even though he does poke at being a bit teasingly brash.

• Special forces Training - Gabriel has a good understanding of tactics and knows how to lead a team to ambush, assault, and generally murder-fuck most groups of people he needs to kill. He, himself, being a close quarters combat specialist is very dangerous in any type of unarmed or small-arms fight.

• Adaptable - Changing with situations and the times is important, this is something most people don't understand. Beating your head against a wall will only get one a cracked skull. Gabriel recognizes that the family needs to change to fit the world because expecting the other way around isn't going to cut it. He can think outside the box when necessary.

• Inspires Loyalty - His people trust him, he is like one of the brothers to them. Gabriel isn't above rewarding his men with the best, if they succeed. He'll use family money to put someone's kid through college, then recruit them when they're through it. He'll pay for someone's sick daughters operation. He might just give someone a car for a good kill. It all pans out to his people know he'll take care of them if they serve well, or at least he's good at making them think that.

• Rock Solid - Whether it's due to some sort of mental condition like borderline psychopathy or just he took to his former training so well, Gabriel does not loose his cool under pressure, at least not outwardly. In a fight he's calm, in a business situation he's rational, when dealing with children he's the fun parent/uncle/whatever. It's hard to make him stagger mentally.

• Resilient - Due to being as stoic as he is physically or perhaps as mentally prepared for it as he is, Gabriel can take a punch well. He can also take a knife or a bullet and keep on functioning depending on /where/ they are inflicted. He'll die if you shoot him in the head or the heart of course, but in the thigh, in the arm, in the shoulder, a non-fatal wound in the chest, you'll still have a very active combatant to deal with. He knows how to shrug off bodily pain.

• Inspires Fear - Yes, he treats his men well, when they do good. It might not be the first time you fail, or the second, maybe he'll encourage you to do better but screw it up one too many times and see what piece of your body he takes from you. Gabriel despises habitual losers, deals with liabilities harshly and does not tolerate disloyalty. It's always good to stay on his best side, though even if one is on said side, there's always the slight feeling that you've got the big bad wolf standing next to you just waiting for a chance to devour you.

• Always a Catch - Dealing with Gabriel is like dealing with Lucifer. He might propose a really good deal for you, but he's getting something out of it and it's often something that even if you know what it is, you won't know the extent of it or his plan for it. He is very rarely anything close to altruistic and very rarely has anyone but his own and the Vitaly interests at heart. What's more, if you ask him directly what he's getting out of it, he'll probably give you a very convincing half-truth, or a complete and purposefully obvious lie depending on if he's feeling playful.

• Extravagant - He likes the finer things, he's very expensive. The best weapons, the highest quality liquor, a big house, designer suits, a private limo, nothing is off the table. Gabriel HAS to travel and exist in style. He is not exactly low profile.

• Raging Alcoholic - The man drinks like a fish that's been out of water for hours. He's rarely seen without a glass of whiskey in his hand even during the day. This can also, by varying degrees, lead him to become temperamental, or to make less than brilliant decisions at times.

• Partying - Whether it's going to a casino, taking the boys out to sex clubs, going to expensive restaurants, getting tickets to 49ers games, or even just hosting a wild bit of fun at his own rather large and secluded mansion, Gabriel tends to act more like he's in his 20s than his actual age. It wrecks hell on any personal life he attempts to have, or most meaningful relationships he does try for.

• His Daughters - Gabriel has twins that don't live with him. He never married their mother because of his lifestyle. It just didn't work. He is, however, always one to see his children and take care of them. Gabriel goes out of his way to make sure they're provided for, sometimes far out of his way. His girls might be the only people he'd never hurt for anything. He's extremely paranoid, for good reason, someone will use them to get at him. It's a distinct possibility. As shameful as it would be, his little girls are a weakness one could exploit. The young ladies are both 10 and still a bit too immature to understand what their father is about, but they're figuring it out slowly.

• Women - Older, middle aged, younger, if it's pretty it'll catch his eye. Gaberiel is too smart to be seduced at this age though, he does the seducing and he is not at all shy about it. He is also not careful, say what you will about it, he's not afraid to take what he wants, even from others. He'll go after someone's wife, daughter, sister, maid, etc. in a heartbeat if he likes them without seemingly a care. He's also not always one to take no for an answer but that generally doesn't get out because of just who he is, not status wise, but as a person.

• Twisted Fetish - Gabriel has a specific love for psychologically wrecking younger ladies. He likes to make them obsessed with him and the things he does to them, the abuse he puts them though. He is capable of and enjoys molding minds to need it, be it physical, emotional, or mental pain. This can fully culminate in him having stalkers or rather insane fangirls. They wouldn't quite dare show up at his workplace and disrupt his business, but they will follow him when he leaves, attempt to break into his house, call him 67 times throughout the day, leave him little 'presents' in places, like notes or panties, all that creepy shit. It /can/ even get dangerous in some cases. Gabriel acts unimpressed about it, but he really eats it up. He likes the depravity of knowing he drove someone nuts.

• Ruthless - Gabriel has few morals beyond his loyalty to the family, and of note once more, his loyalty is to THE FAMILY as a whole, not one specific person, as the case of Julius proves. Gabriel will not discount doing anything to achieve his goals. Depending on circumstance, he's just as likely to be the angel of mercy handing out toys for Christmas at a church as the angel of death burning it down with the people locked inside. It all depends on how he can use it, have it spun, to benefit himself and his own faction.

• Sadistic - To say he enjoys being a bastard is kind of an understatement, but when the darkness in his soul really gets to show itself he's riding a high that can rarely be matched by anything else. Gabriel isn't afraid to do the torturing of a snitch, or of an uncooperative prisoner, or anyone really, personally. He gets off on it, not sexually, but in a way that is truly and profoundly deep. Watching someone squirm in pain, watching the stones of hurt pile up, watching the spine of someone's willpower crack and shatter into pieces, it's a powerful storm that he revels and dances in. He's extremely careful to try and keep this on a tight leash, but sometimes the facade cracks and one can get a glimpse truly of the demon that resides inside.

• Pride - Gabriel acts sometimes as if nothing can hurt him, and truly, he's very used to being ahead of the game due to his past. He doesn't always give his enemies or competition the credit they deserve. This can on occasion lead to ground given in any contest be it more mundane or more serious. This is usually a one time deal as he learns quickly once he suffers a defeat, not to underestimate. Gabriel also never backs down from a physical altercation. It's not so simple as challenging him verbally to a fight, but if you manage to hit him, it's on and it's on till one party is ground into the dirt or till someone forces it to stop.

• Wrath - Words, threats, name calling and verbal abuse rarely gets him to lose his temper though there are some exceptions. He'll probably twist them around though and use them to get in someone's head or just let the talky stuff roll off completely. It's actions that can make him boil and when he does let go, it's severe. He will get careless with it too. He may kill someone directly in his own office, or a parking lot, or have their house burned down, probably with their family in it, etc. This won't be for any benefit to the Vitalys, it'll be strictly to satisfy his rage be it advantageous, or not. He won't care while he's seeing red.


EXTRAS
• Gabriel is a huge football fan, he never misses a 49ers game if he can help it.
• He most often has at least two weapons on him or near him, likely a handgun and a knife, sometimes depending on the room he's in, more.
• It's easy to get bored, he doesn't like sitting around. It's not so much impatience as it is he just doesn't like not doing anything.
• Very much enjoys severe weather like thunderstorms and hurricanes.
• Favorite foods are Sushi and anything wickedly spicy be it Indian, Mexican, Oriental, as long as it burns.
• Secretly detests most social media because he can never figure out what to do with it, he knows how to use it, just not what to put on it.
• Absolutely scorns people who let their pants sag.
• Hates ghetto gang banger type males. He'll let it slide if a female is pretty though it'll still hurt his brain. It's nothing to do with race, more to do with how he sees proper presentation.
• Favorite types of music are alternative, industrial, metal, jazz, blues, and classical violin.
• Enjoys a game of chess very much.
• He's not at all the best with emotional conversation pertaining to himself and very rarely gives a straight answer when asked about his feelings.
• Gabriel speaks, in addition to English, Italian, German, and Farsi/Dari as well as Pashto (The last three are from his time in Afghanistan).

CONNECTIONS
Mia Gambino - He has his claws into her very deeply. Gabe uses her to get information, amongst other things.
Dimitry Vitaly - His cousin Julius's son and the boss now. For the moment Gabe hasn't formed an opinion on Dimitry's leadership, but he's certainly watching.


LOOKING FOR
• People to play his twin daughters when he gets to visit them. They ask a lot of complicated questions to dad that he doesn't wanna answer.
• Old enemies, he should have a few of them with who he is. Can be for any reason, just toss it at me.
• Jilted, vengeful ex-lovers, suppose it could go under old enemies but they're not really that, just scorned for various reasons.
• Female stalkers, cruel, vicious or absolutely annoying ones that demand attention. Gabriel thoroughly deserves the headache of it.
• Business associates from anyone looking to make monetary deals to those that want to get hired into his sphere of control in the family.
• Old military buddies he still keeps in touch with.
• Other older members of the family, if there are any, that know him as trustworthy.
• Anyone that enjoys playing chess to play it with him.
• Anyone really, just pitch me an idea, I'm not squeamish, and we'll talk about how it might go. I try to be able to work most interactions in if they make sense.

 

[Vytheril]

WANTED ROLE ; Soldier for Vitaly Family

NAME ; Leonid Grenzevsky
AGE ; 29
GENDER ; Male
SIN ; Wrath
LOYALTY ; The Vitalyz
ORIENTATION ; Heterosexual
FACE CLAIM ; Sergey Bodrov


INFORMATION Leonid was born in St. Petersburg to Viktor Pokrovsky and Yulia Grenzevsky, the former abandoning them and leaving the pair to be raised alone with his older brother in post Soviet Union when the economy was at horrid levels. This brought with them expected poverty, which followed Leonid through out most of his childhood and into intermediate school. Leonid was a loner growing up, having almost no friends other than his brother, along with his mother who was working odd jobs to try making ends meet, which ultimately ended in failure as the older sibling left at age seventeen to alleviate the burden on their ailing mother struggling to support her children. Leaving Leonid, their brother disappeared for three years when they heard he was living in America as a salesman, not further elaborating.

When Leonid turned sixteen, he ran away from his mother while leaving a note behind on his wishes to find a better life living with his brother as opposed to being a financial burden for his mother. He boarded a ship bound for the West, turning seventeen while at seas when he was apprehended by U.S. Customs at Norfolk Naval Port. Leonid explained in his poor English that he was attempting to join the United States Army to be naturalized. This was granted, and he was permitted to join the Armed Forces under naturalization as a 25C (Radio Operator). He was required to serve a six year contract as opposed to four, due to him being a non-US citizen. Leonid saw two deployments in Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq, and at least one in a desolate forward operating base in Helmand Province in Afghanistan. His English, while still off putting, improved with the help of fellow Eastern Europeans he befriended while serving his time in the military.

Leonid was in constant communication with his brother, even taking leave to see him where he discovered he wasn't just a salesman, but a hitman taking contracts for the Vitalys. This was a surprise, but not too much. They lived in poverty and weren't well educated, and were low tier criminals themselves growing up. Vitaly spent his six years in the army a loner, just as he was in Russia. When he finally separated, he moved in with his brother who helped him find his own apartment, and even a job where he helped him with his line of work. Leonid was involved in contract killing of another rival crime family which almost got him killed, but he was selected because of his unfamiliarity with organized crime and the element of surprise.

Leonid's brother, Oleg, was himself killed in a botched hit which was actually an ambush. This alienated Leonid even further when he discovered the news and caused him to close up. The quiet young man, still quiet, was now methodically looking to find his brother's murderers. This caused him to reluctantly enter the arms of the Vitalys, hoping that it would serve as a buffer to keep him from being killed outright like how his unfortunate sibling succumbed to.

TRAITS
Positive

• Brawler - Although not intimidating looking, Leonid has been known to stand his own ground on more than one occasion. Even at the cost of himself losing the fight plenty of times, he's also won many.

• Weapon Handling - Leonid's time in the military had gave him a profound skill of utilizing firearms, but these were chiseled when following his brother. He's an excellent soldier to take on just about any dirty job.

• Calm - Leonid rarely loses his cool under pressure. Being exposed to his elements, he found himself being able to keep his wits even under the most extreme circumstances for the most part.

Negative

• Unintelligent - Leonid didn't went to school, so it's safe to assume he isn't going to be splitting the atom anytime soon. He'd often mistake nationalities, and easily believe someone if they told them Russia's better than America.

• Dimwit - Leonid is infatuated with music, ever since he was a kid. Leonid can sometimes find himself being vulnerable walking around listening to music and being drawn into this trance which causes him to lose his situational awareness. He can even find himself walking into places he doesn't belong just because he's either not paying attention or just curious, causing more fights.

• Antisocial - Leonid has always been a loner by choice, very rarely opening up to those who he found to be very close before his brother died. Now it's even worse. He'll keep to himself, but sometimes people will be able to get him to utter sentences. Except for when it comes to business is when he asks plenty of questions.

EXTRAS
• Leonid's favorite weapon is a Belgian 12 Gauge Sawed-Off Shotgun
• He is an avid music lover, enjoys going to rock concerts of various bands
• Has a calico cat named 'Misty'
• Often prefers wearing long sleeves, even in the summer
• For an apathetic killer, he surprisingly has a morale compass.

CONNECTIONS
• Oleg Grenzevsky - Former hitman working for the Vitalys who was killed.
• TBD

LOOKING FOR
• Information on his brother's murderers.
• A woman to have a personal connection with he could confide with.
• Enough money to sustain himself and to send back home to his mother.

[Razz]

WANTED ROLE ; Vitaly Soldier/Hitwoman

NAME ; Duri Ryeo
AGE ; 23
GENDER ; Female
SIN ; Envy, Wrath, Greed
LOYALTY ; The Vitalys
ORIENTATION ; Bisexual
FACE CLAIM ; Pia Kristine Cruz

INFORMATION
• Duri moved to Riverside as a kid with her mother, her father having had up and left them when she was too young to even remember. They never had much - her mother worked as many shifts as she could grab at some sleazy downtown diner, but she had to pick up whatever work she could find on the side to stay afloat. Sometimes the jobs were mundane and simple, like under the table maid work, but a lot of the time the jobs included selling herself to strangers. Sometimes, the strangers would want more from her, and worm their way into her mother’s life, craving to dominate and control the naive beauty that her mother was.

Her mother was always so quiet and subservient, wanting to just be a good person, afraid to make anyone upset with her. So, Duri stepped up to the plate and learned to deal with the men herself, since she had no men in her life to depend on to protect herself and her mother. One night though, when Duri was a teen, a particularly jealous ‘lover’ of her mother came stumbling drunkenly into their home. He had a gun, and was threatening to kill her mother and then himself. After a physical fight over the gun broke out between him and Duri, Duri managed to wrangle the gun from him and shot him.

She buried his body deep in their backyard, beneath the tree. That night, two things happened; Duri’s mother agreed that she would stop working and allow Duri to take care of everything, regardless of how she had to do it, and Duri discovered a deep lust for violence. The adrenaline rush when fighting for her life had been better than any high she had ever felt… and if she could make money off of that kind of violence, why not?

TRAITS
• Quick Learner
• Confident
• Loyal
• Ballsy
• Independent

• Selfish
• Hot-headed/explosive
• Uneducated
• Distrustful
• Thick-skulled

EXTRAS
• Knows multiple languages - Korean, Chinese, English.
• 5’ 10”
• Smokes like a train
• Loves k-pop.
• Has a motorcycle that she enjoys racing around the city.
• Has two large mastiffs; Seok and Bora.

CONNECTIONS
• Michael Damiano is the one who scouted her and encouraged her to join the family and acted as her advocate in the process. Because of this, she has a massive amount of respect for the man. The two also have a low-key, hush-hush 'friends with benefits' relationship between them, but it is a loveless bond that is heavily based on lust.
• (Open/hmu if you want to plot connections with Duri!)

LOOKING FOR
• Someone to teach her the ropes
• A rival
• A childhood friend
• (Open! Toss ideas my way!)

 

[nutsacket]

WANTED ROLE ; Head assassin for the Gambino family.
NAME ; Kimberly "Fatale" Al-Atashi
AGE ; 23
GENDER ; Female
SIN ; Greed and pride
LOYALTY ; The Gambinos
ORIENTATION ; Pansexual
FACE CLAIM ; Bella Hadid










INFORMATION
• Kimberly, or Kimmy, was born and raised in Lebanon, but was forced to flee to America with her family due to the instability and the rising tensions in the Middle East. Her real name used to be Mina, but due to her father's former job, her family's security had been compromised. Her father used to work as within cyber security for the Lebanese political elites, and he knows that the job was dangerous. Not only to him, but to his loved ones as well due to the extensive corruption in the country's regime. Ever inspired by her father and the environment she grew up in, and much to her family's concern, she has decided to go to a much more dangerous route. Very exhilarating, but still dangerous. An assassin.

TRAITS
Positives in green, negatives in orange.
• Ambitious and very driven.
Kimberly's family is very academic, and she had no choice but to attend university. She was glad her family pushed her to, and she likes to thank her parents for the seed of ambition and drive to succeed that they planed in her. Kimberly is always looking to achieve the next goal, no matter the size and once she sets her mind onto something... Well, she achieve it. That is exactly why she chose to get a degree in economics – a male dominated field, and she loves nothing more but to prove people wrong when they think they can outsmart her. Her excellent and impressive grades serve as nothing but prove of that.
• Rational and patient.
It depends on who you ask, but to Kimberly rationality is good. She's good at bottling her emotions up and protecting them to prevent herself from getting hurt. At times she can be too rational, but at least you can always count on her being neutral and objective when it matters. Of course, there are days when the bottle overflows, but Kimberly knows how to pick up the pieces herself. Kimberly has a line that is hard to reach, but she will only bother to spend mental energy on it once you cross it.
• Eager to learn.
Kimberly doesn't believe that humans' journeys end once they reach a certain age. No, she fully believes that humans will continue to evolve and grow as the years go by. Because of that, she has set herself a mental goal to never stop learning about anything and everything.
• Daredevil-ish and openminded, but blunt.
Kimberly loves experimenting within reason, of course. That's what makes her so openminded towards people and towards learning, but a small part of her is addicted to the adrenaline of getting away with something that you most likely shouldn't have been involved in. She's bold, and that's what makes her so quick on her toes.
• Perfectionist and an overachiever.
There is no doubt that Kimberly is both, which is deeply rooted in her ambition and drive. Of course it's useful to be a perfectionist and an overachiever in the academic world, but much less so in the real world. Sometimes she will plunge into a burnout, but only because she loves what she does and wants to excel in all aspects of her life. Nothing matters more to her than her family's pride. She wants to live up to their last name.
• Well-groomed – money spender.
Wonder why I put this in the negatives? Kimberly loves to spend money, and will not think twice about swiping her credit card. She mostly spends it on jewellery, clothes, shoes, bags, make-up and everything else you can think of. She spends too much time keeping up her appearance, and she cares a lot about how she looks.
• Flirtatious and stubborn.
Kimberly has a very flirtatious nature, and it tends to lead people on. However, she does not mean to be at times. I suppose this is why they call her "Fatale" – she knows she is gorgeous and charming, and has no problem using it for her own gain. This leads to her stubborn nature. She refuses to take a no at times, and especially if she knows that she is right.

EXTRAS
• Kimberly has a very strong Middle Eastern accent. She speaks multiple languages apart from Arabic; English, French and Italian.
• She has a signature lipstick that has a hidden knife, and signature perfume as well.
• From all her family, she has the strongest connection to her father. Kimberly and her mother never got along well, due to how vain her mother is. Perhaps that is why Kimberly cares so much about her own appearance, but never dares to comment on anybody else's. She knows how it feels.
• She's good at chess and at playing the piano.
• Kimberly loves to stress on the fact that she's independent. It's a part of her strength.

CONNECTIONS
• An fair/fling/possible enemy with Michael Damiano, head assassin of the Vitalys.

LOOKING FOR
• A partner or a confidante from the Gambinos.
• A fling, preferably a forbidden one –– Kimberly is an adrenaline junkie and a daredevil, after all.
• An enemy, possibly. Preferably from the Vitalys.
• Any other connection is warmly welcomed.
