- Availability for this RP is going to be tight. Only characters that we feel will help the story grow will be allowed.
- Tips on how to be accepted (if these are not met, you will almost certainly be denied):
- Reliability: nothing kills a roleplay faster than not posting. If you can't commit to at least one post every 2 days, please don't waste our time. Lots of work went into this rp for it to die like that. Likewise, if I don't hear from you for awhile, I will assume you have left.
- Creativity: we have set up guidelines for you so all of the hard work is done, but please don't forget that creativity is still important. The skeleton is there but it is your job to flush your character out. Strive to have someone different than the others. Different career, situation, personality. We don't need a bunch of carbon copies of each other. Don't go overboard though – fit the sound of the RP.
- Literacy: Perhaps the most important, your character application is a show of your writing ability. But remember – quality over quantity. We're going to be writing long, detailed posts. I need to know you can keep up.
- Read: everything. I realize it's a lot, but if I took the time to write it all down and work it out with usernamesareadrag it's guaranteed to be important. And if we feel you can't even read this much, we doubt you'll be able to read the literate required posts in the RP.
- Just because you have spoken to me or my coowner prior or during creating a character does not guarantee you a role. These requirements still have to be met.
- If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to discuss your character with us. Don't waste your time if you're worried about it.
- Make your character important! Make your character important. Make your character important. It's your job to keep them in the story. Don't alienate them and expect others to get you involved.

Questions, Comments, Ideas?
Mention them here and I'll add them for the others
- There's no age limit to characters, they just have to be over 17. In fact, we prefer them not to be teenagers given their jobs. However, use your judgment for your own character.
- You don't have to follow the 'available roles', they're just there for a guideline. However, if you have an idea outside of the list please PM me about it first, especially before spending the time creating a character.
- People become part of The Family after they join the mob. So no, they are not all blood related
