So the basis of this story as it is revolves around to brothers, Antonio and Frederic Cravero, brothers from one of Londim's colonial islands. In essence this is a crime/mafia RP, however this starts from the very beginning.

Antonio and Frederic have just got off the boat to start their new lives. They have nothing and no where to stay. However just because there are main characters doesn't mean it is all fixated on them. I want to recreate an atmosphere where every action has either a direct or indirect effect on everyone.

So I'm taking the role of Antonio, and I need someone to take the role of Frederic.

Other characters are completely up to whoever joins. As an inhabitant of the city, called Gressna, you can have any role. Maybe you'll only post once, maybe become involved in the Cravero's life through friendship or rivalry. I know this is a big project and will most likely take many months. So sign up in this thread and be as creative, yet sensible, as you wish.

Current Cast:
Londim - Antonio Cravero
Volzgrad - Slevan Romanovich
Siap - Jamie Finelli

This seems pretty interesting. Sign me up.

All signed up! Just post a quick character detail.

I'm not going to be on NS for awhile so I'll make my character less important then others. My character would be a sort of lower level "boss" so to speak. He would be the one who Antonio would first recieve jobs from.

Character

Name: Slevan Romanovich
Age: 35
Nationality: South Volzgradien
Height: 5'9
Weight: 180 lb.
Hair: Short, brown
Eyes: Brown
Profession: Arms dealer
Bio: Regardless of what anyone says about him, Slevan Romanovich is an untrustworthy slime ball. A decade ago he was one of the most prolific and wanted arms dealers in the world. Now he's dealing weapons in one of Londim's islands. Like all other Volzgradien youths, he was conscripted into the military and forced to fight against the rebel groups in the mountains north of the main industrial region of Korvograd. He was soon wounded by shrapnel to the knee ( he still has a very noticeable scar). He left shortly afterward and became an arms dealer for one of the foreign cartels in Volzgrad. Countless bad deals and arrests later and he has found himself in Londim. Even though he is rather well known and wealthy in the underworld, Slevan longs for the prestige he had before. And now he has his chance.

Jamie Finelli, like any good patriotic Siapian boy, joined the military at age 17 to fulfill his compulsory service. Initially, he served in The Community's Air Force, as a load master, however an accident resulted in a serious concussion, robbing him of his ability to see color in his right eye. After that he was transferred to the Merchant Marine.

His record was fairly clean, with no serious complaints from his supervisors, however it was no kept secret that he was involved with the group known as "The Rice Connection," a smuggling ring that gained fame after hiding stolen electronics in food aid packages. A random search of Finelli's quarters turned up half a kilo of heroin and three fake passports. He was stripped of his rank and court marshaled, however the jag got him off on a technicality. Unluckily, his former CO swore vengeance for the humiliating trial, and beat Finelli so hard that he lost his color vision in his left eye. His former business associates spirited him out of the hospital and helped him flee the country. After two months, Finelli resurfaced in the colonial islands of Londim.

Both great characters. I'll get the first IC post up soon.
