An Introduction
There are only a few major families left in Boston, but everyone knows the Santoro's are the biggest bad out there. They're the oldest, largest, tightest knit group of loyal fuckers on the street.
They run everything, and they went through hell getting it that way. There isn't a thing on this earth that scares Don Santoro, and he took any means necessary to get what he wanted. People are either scared shitless of him or they envy him. Jealousy can make people stupid, sloppy, dangerous -- even ignorance is a threat that puts a target on every Santoro's back. Besides...when they own everything, what else does the competition have to do all day?
But things are changing now, the other mobs aren't just sitting back and letting the Santoro's have it all. And rumor has it that Carlos is training a new Don. They say Giovanni Santoro is next in line, the kid who just a few years earlier was trying to get out of the life...needless to say, not a lot of people trust him. In fact, some think he's weak, and maybe one of his siblings should be in charge...
Or maybe it's time another crime family was on top.
The Premise
Welcome to the Santoro Family, the biggest and baddest mob in Boston and one with notoriety that spans the globe, headed by its illustrious and infamous leader, Don Carlos. However, times are changing in the Santoro family as whispers of Don Carlos choosing a successor, his son Giovanni, as his replacement spreads like wildfire. Not everyone is happy about this- why should a boy who tried to toss aside his position as in the mob only a few years ago be allowed to be in control? Why not another sibling? Maybe a trusted and hard-working employee who'd crawled their way up the ranks? Or should the Santoro Family end with Don Carlos and another mob reign supreme?
Is that all there is to this role-play? Not a chance. Within this basic premise are of all the twists and turns that come with a mob organization where lust, greed, violence, and, of course, family reigns supreme. This is very much a collaborative role-play with writers and characters bringing their own unique plots and suggestions into the mix to keep everything unexpected and interesting. All we ask of you is to be active, be creative, be literate, and be ready for a walk on the dark side of the law.
There are a plethora of characters still available from blood members of the Santoro family, to family friends, drug lords/dealers, lawyers, dirty cops, hookers, and so many others. All of these are listed in the OOC, alongside the rules. And, hey, if you find yourself fancying a character not listed in the available roles, don't fret- shoot either myself or the GM CharlotteV a message to run the idea by us- more likely than not, we'll love it. If this tempts you, go ahead and check out The Santoro Family Mob. You won't be disappointed- Don Carlos guarantees it.
