Introduction

In the 21st century, the Roaring Twenties have come back into style. Drug legalization ended in 2019, and organized crime once again runs the streets. Chicago is once again known as Mob City, and several newly risen crime families, each with different backgrounds and investments, are vying for control. Join the Mob, start a 'completely legitimate' business, or even start your own family and rise to the top.

Rules of the City:
1. Chicago ain't no place for kids. This is a 17+ roleplay based in a town given over to criminal elements. Expect cursing, violence, and other potentially offensive material.
2. Show some respect. Don't start fights in the OOC. Pick fights IC, and it's your funeral.
3. Nobody lives forever. Speaking of which, Chicago's a dangerous place. Characters can be killed, and some definitely will.
4. Don't get too fulla yourself. Godmodding is strictly forbidden. One warning, and then the Don puts a price on your head.
5. Keep your feet on the ground. Remember, it's a realistic roleplay. This may be the future, but guns still shoot bullets and cars still need roads.
Capiche?

So tell me about yourself: Make sure to include this info in your profile.
Name: If your gang is ethnicity-based, make sure this fits.
Alias: What the rest of the gang calls you.
Gender:
Age:
Appearance: Small to medium pictures, please.
Allegiance/Gang Name: I'm calling a maximum of four playable gangs, so make one quick or join one existing. After 4 are created, the only way to play a new one is to eliminate a gang leader. Also, feel free to play a non- gang member.
Rank: If such things exist in your gang.
Talents: What skills you got?
Personality: Feel free to let this come out IC.
History: What got you into this?

Nice place you got here: Information to include about places.
Name: What's on the door?
Address: For that local flavor. (Chicago, remember.)
Owner: Name and allegiance, if applicable.
Business: What do they do?
Backdoor Business: What do they do when the cops are out?

Ray Catania walked into the Full House's bar, followed by a couple bodyguards. Ray made a motion to them and they deposited their Uzis at the window next to the entrance. He sat down at a table near the bar, and a waiter soon stopped by.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Catania. May I offer you a drink?"
"No, not today. I'm here on business, get me a tonic with lime."
As the waiter hurried off, he sat back and reflected on the business he was there to discuss. Namely, getting someone to clean up the street drug dealers in the area. After the Delegalization Act, every user in the city was looking for a cheap fix. And Catania took the opportunity to give it to them, using his drugstore as a front to sell them high-quality drugs, just like a friendly bartender. But now the street dealers were making a comeback, selling cheap versions with much worse effects. People were getting horribly sick off these alternatives, and it was making his business look bad. He'd spent his last five years in Chicago building influence and stores, and now it was on the edge of crashing down.
"Waiter?"
"Yes, Mr. Catania?"
"Changed my mind. Make it a gin and tonic instead."

He sipped his drink and glanced at his watch. Sokolov had better be here soon.

Alanovsky and his two assosiates came nearly directly after. The two broke off to wait by the bar, as instructed, and left their employer to do as he pleased. The stern-faced gentleman made his way to the table where Catania was waiting. As he sat, he apologized for his tardiness; there were some technical issues that needed to be ironed out.

After being served his burbon, Alanovski clasped the cup in one hand, ice clinking against the ice; and held out a box of cigars in the other. "Please, have one." He insisted. Cigars had always been a good deal-starter. If they thought you were willing to share evenly, even if you weren't, they usually opened more. "So," He began, leaning back and tenting his fingers. "the street dealers..."

(sorry it's been so long. I was more waiting to see who else joined/posted, but then my computer went down.)

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL

All right, If Grim doesn't put up his character by tonight, I'm starting the RP. Ladies and gentlemen, start your stories.

EDIT: And, it's off! Post in whatever place is applicable, my character's in The Full House to start. Feel free to make up your own plots for your characters!

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL

Cool, I can't wait to see it Grim, it should be pretty good considering. I do wish someone would tac onto the Alanovski crew though. It's kind of hard to be a one-man gang when you're reticent and "behind the scenes". Although it would make for some O'sh() moments. :D

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL

/Grim/, that's the beauty of RP. It's up to the characters to decide how events play out, and how inter-gang relations go. I've added a place that serves as something of a safe zone, since the owners keep weapons checked at the door. Also, I have some ideas for plot events, but I'm wide open to suggestions. I'll post first, just as soon as Grim gets his character up.

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL

Leave Alanovski. I'm Polish, so I find it easy to remember ;)
I see how creating one more mob leader would bring some variety to this game, but I think I'd rather create an independent character...
I might change my mind though. The problem is I've no idea how the game will be playing out? Will all gang leaders be antagonists? If so, how will conflicts be resolved? Oh well, I'm joining anyway.

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL

Okay, the history's kidn of short but tell me what you guys think of Michael Alanovski as the leader of the opposing gang. I don't know if I'll change the name, since Alanovski family doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but I'm pretty sure I'll just leave it as is.

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL

I might take that position if you don't mind; it'd be pretty interesting to get both perspectives of it. And since most of my threads that I join seem to die, I'd like to have as much to do around here as possible.

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL

It seems that instead of an IC thread, you can post in any "place" and each has its own thread. Should make characters' locations easier to keep track of. As for your character, she looks good. She has a nice balance of violent and non-violent skills, making her a perfect fit.

I'll begin the 1st rival gang myself, since it appears nobody else is joining. Feel free to make a second character, but any secondaries have to work for a different gang. I also won't be playing two leaders, so that spot is open.

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL

Has the IC been established yet? I'm still new to this kind of rp format. Also, what did you think of my character setup BlueWolf? Is there anything that I need to change?

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL

Hmm, depends on the situation. I think the new system of posting in different places might be more conducive to short posts and dialogue, but I'd prefer longer posts for actions and exposition.

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL

Sounds mighty interesting! Tell me something about the pace of the game. Frequent, short posts- or the opposite?

And bless you, for bringing some gritty realism to this otherwise silly place.

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL

Yeah, he's good. Going to post on Roleplayers Wanted, hopefully we can get another boss in here.

Re: [OOC] Mob City, IL

Is my character ok, you set it so you didn't have to check it. I just wanna know what you think.

[OOC] Mob City, IL

Welcome to Mob City.

Just in addition to the original rules, I'd like to ask that everyone please be literate when posting, and try to be original with your characters. Also, anyone who leaves without explanation will be killed off (or just leave town) if gone too long, so please let everyone know if you'll be AFK for more than a day or so.
