Yes yes, nothing to do with the movie/series thing from TV. Everything (settling wise that is) to do with THIS though!

The map is only a rough outline of our city, because to save confusion, all locations are going to be like this;

they are in a region, whether is be Hells Kitchen, Little Italy, midtown, etc, and then the location following, e.g Little Italy > Some Pasta shop

And all locations will be listed in the region as well as their respective owners.

OKAY, now what this game is about?!

We Abandonians have all just immigrated from Italy/Sicily and arrived in New York, 1928, Prohibition era!. Finding work hard, and no money, we have been forced to the slum's of Little Italy, becoming thugs. While we were on the streets, we have derived that their are Three Mafia families fighting for power in New York;

FAMILIES OF NEW YORK

--------------------------------

Note, The Mafia's have 3 different types of People: The Don (the head honcho) the Consigliere (Right hand man) and Capo's (the ordinary family members) and other then that, random muscle that help them out.

The Accardo Family : From Sicily, The Accardo's are a loosely nit crime family found in Hell's Kitchen, who make their living off of Moonshine Smuggling and 'protection' of the local businesses. They are a weak crime family, run by Don Cosenza Accardo, but are also very expansionist, and their family member Reggio Accardo has been seen in Little Italy lately, most likely deciding which business to extort...

Family Members: Don Cosenza Accardo
Consigliere Donny Palermo (long time friend)
Capo Reggio Accardo (Son)
Capo Bari Accardo (Brother)

The DeCicco Family: Also from Sicily, These guys are based out of New Jersey, and make their money from illegal gambling, moon shine, and as of late, drugs. Their power is growing quickly, and soon they'll be able to expand to other parts of the city.

Family Members: Don Paul DeCicco
Consigliere Brian Vito (Lawyer)
Capo Mickey DeCicco (son)
Capo Allen Dawslin (Extortionist/Muscle)
Capo Markus "Razor" Ross (Business man)

The Mercanti Family : Based in Brooklyn and Mid town, easily the strongest family, but also the most respected. Don Vito Mercanti and his son and right hand man Pauly Mercanti have built an empire from more business deals, and less violence then the other Crime families. That being said, they probably won't be afraid to Fight another family either. They deal in Moon shining, Women, and guns.

Family Members: Don Vito Mercanti
Consigliere Pauly Mercanti (Son)
Capo Ricky "Fists" Mercanti (Cousins Son)
Capo Vincent Grosseto (Friend and Lawyer)

Us: Since we have lived in the slums of Little Italy for the past year or so, we know quite a bit about the local populace, and all the illegal crime fronts of the city. Some of us even work for the local businesses, who trade freely, because the Mafia families arn't involved in little Italy, yet....

Character Sheets are too be simple, no worrying about skills or nothing, just your character name and a bio, and strengths and weaknesses, and no guns yet, for weapons, maybe a knife or something. We're just simple thugs at most, except for me, because I work for the local 'bakery'.

Character: Vito "Fubbles" Pirelli

Bio: Grew up in Southern Sicily. After his father was killed in the war, he and his mother moved in with Fubbles uncle, who was affiliated with the Mafia. Fubbles didn't join the mafia, because he was still young, but he began to look at the world differently. After decided there was nothing for him in Sicily, he immigrated to New York at the age of 22. Now, a year later, he is living in a Hotel in Little Italy, and is currently employed as 'Muscle' for the local bakery, Uncle Scallero's, owned by Joey Scallero, a middle aged italian, who wants the protection because he is afraid of the Mafia coming and wanting protection money from him. Fubbles is very good friends with Joey.

Weapons: Colt Detective .38 (we won't worry about ammo cause it'll just cause confusion)

Just to add excitement early on....

It was a cool spring day, and as usual, Vito "Fubbles" Pirelli was working at Uncle Scallero's bakery. He worked behind the counter, helping customers with breads, but really, he was their to watch; making sure local thugs, or even worse, mafia members, didn't come and rough the place up and try to extort "Uncle Joey" (who wasn't really his uncle, he just called him that) up, and force him to pay 'protection' fee's.

Now, had it been a normal store like everything else, it probably wouldn't be important. But this was no ordinary bakery. This bakery had a moonshine still, which Joey make moonshine from, and sold it to the locals. He used the money to bribe the police, and to pay Fubbles handsomely, as well as help raise his kids, using the money for schooling and giving them the opportunity to do more then just run the family business. But as always, crime, even with good intentions, usually comes back to bite you.

Fubbles had been in the alley, taking a smoke break. He had only been hired because he mentioned he had 'experiences' with the Mafia before, recalling his teen years in Sicily, with his uncle always telling him story's. He hadn't really been a criminal, but he thought a little white lie couldn't be bad if it got him a job and a pistol to look tough with. Not that he had used it yet.

While Fubbles was smoking, he heard some ruckus inside, and shook it off as nothing; probably just a worker dropping a hot frying pan. But then 2 shots rang out and he heard screams. Instantly he sprang to action, scared and sweating as he barged into the back of the bakery. The workers were cringing in the back room, and one said something about some rough looking type coming into the store. Fubbles burst through the doors into the main part of the bakery, only to find Joey bleeding to death in a pool of blood.

(Because im too lazy to make a dialogue, and because i should be in bed cause i need to work in the morning, Ima shorten this up)

Joey was on his last breaths, and as Fubbles crouched by him, Joey whispered about Reggio Accardo coming in with 2 other mucles, and demanding him to give them protection money. He said no, so Reggio shot him, saying that he needed to send a message to the other people of Little Italy. With his dieing breath's, Joey made Fubbles Promise something; Regardless of danger, and regardless of who gets between him, he must kill Reggio Accardo.

Fubbles Promised, and the day following Joey's funeral, and his son eighteen year old son Paul taking over the business, Fubbles sprang his plan of Vendetta into action, and began looking around Italy for associates that could help him. He also found two tough looking muscle at a local hangout who he had Paul hire. While they wouldn't have guns, they'd still be helpful for defending the Bakery in case the Accardo's came back.

(Our Family gains 1 Business: Uncle Scallero's Bakery.)

Money isn't going to be handled by numbers, but rather, the type of business we own will determine how often we can afford new things, like cars or more muscle to defend places, or guns.
