Misty Gray
Pessimisty
A 1970s Gangster RP
The Irish Mob
New York City, New York, July 1971
:: IC THREAD :: CHARACTER SHEETS ::
'Paint it Black' - The Rolling Stones
INTRODUCTION
Almost six years ago, the Porters of the Irish Mob emigrated and moved their business operations from Dublin, Ireland to New York, USA. After the former New York Boss, Liam Sullivan, was killed, James Porter had agreed to take control of the business in the man's place. The Porters saw great opportunity in New York, especially in the wake of the Mayor and the Gardai cracking down heavily on organised crime back in Dublin.
In June 1971, the war on drugs was declared by President Nixon. Although it was seen as a definite crackdown to most, the Mob saw nothing was actually being done by government, so took the opportunity to take over and control the drugs business themselves. Whilst this has brought in more profit and power to the Porters, it has also brought in new rivals and smaller gangs attempting to threaten the Mob's empire. Despite being in control of the city for some years, the Mob's rivals bring great challenges to the Porters.
In such a dangerous city, where violence, gang rivalries and organised crime are in heavy operation, who will be the last one standing?

** This RP will be drama, family and character driven - like a violent soap opera! There will be plenty of opportunities to form relationships within the RP and build up your character(s) depth. There will also be storylines which may involve threats, arguments, physical/mental torture, character deaths and other dark subjects you're likely to find in a gangster story! Essentially, though, it's bound to be heavily focused on relationships - love and hate! **The Irish Mob

**** Current Character Thread ****
These roles are currently all open for new players:
Characters can be friends, love interests. Perhaps they have no desire to be involved in the criminal activities or maybe it's tempting to them. I'm open to discussion:
- Gang Members - x3
Rules
1. Misty Gray Bellz Pyroclast are the GMs.
2. Reserving a role requires a writing sample. Before we will reserve a role for you, please PM Misty Gray a writing sample - it can be something previously written or something based on the character you wish to submit. Post in this thread which role you are auditioning for and then drop me a PM.
3. Romance is a wonderful thing and I encourage it, but fade to black if things become sexual.
4. No bumping off others’ characters without discussing it with the GMs first.
5. Please only join if you can commit to posting at 3+ times per week and don’t plan on leaving any time soon!
6. Profanity is acceptable, within reason. No need to make it excessive.
7. Please try to write 2+ paragraphs per post. One-liners will make me sad.
