Name: Phoebe Brooks

Age: 20

Height: 5'4''

Weight: 125 lbs

Appearance:

Louise_Brooks_detail_ggbain.32453u.jpg


Background: Phoebe was born on April fourth, 1905 in Manhatten, New York-five minutes older than her twin brother, Lincoln. Who exactly their parents were and how they disappeared remains unknown, and at the age of three she and her brother were separated and put into different orphanages. Hers was run by an older lady who was strict and beat the children often for just looking at her funny.

At age ten, she was adopted into The Bruno Family, and was raised into the life of the Mafia: violence, luxury and booze became her whole world.Now at age twenty and deadly with both a knife and a machine gun, she's ready to become a Gun Moll to someone she calls 'lucky enough' to be at her side, not the other way around. She just hopes the guy is easy on the eyes and ears. She's all but forgotten the events of her early childhood, though nightmares of her brother come up from time to time much to her dismay and confusion.

Cop or Member: Member, future Gun Moll to a lucky Bruno

Personality: Phoebe is cunning, creative, and for a woman of the times pretty smart. While she's not exactly book smart, she is street smart and has strong problem solving skills. She's one to think on her feet in a tight spot and does well in a crisis or under duress. On the flip side, she can be condescending, overconfident and too curious for her own good. Her sharp words can cut into anyone just as deeply as her knife can, and her fiery nature and fierce temper are a force to be reckoned with. To her family and close knit friends, she is loyal to a fault and very protective of them.

Standing in the family: Gun Moll who has been raised within the family but not blood related to them.​

Background ~


Brigid Lukanshenko, the woman known as Das Wunderkind among those of her kin, was born in a cold night of November in 1880, the second and last child of a Belarusian immigrant couple. Never graced with the privilege of a wealthy and prestigious birth, she was since young exposed to the cruelty of the world around her, escaping death multiple times in her youth. Perhaps out of luck, out of talent, out of charm? Such characteristics she would master in time, leading her through many hardships but also pleasant surprises. A young prostitute would soon grow into the brothel madam, procuress and entrepreneur those know as of today, supported by the inheritance of her deceased husband and the Velvet Room, a night club by the eyes of the public and a brothel for those who know best. It was only a matter of time before she would cross paths with the family, gaining their protection in exchange for a share the profits of her business and the pleasures that came with it…

Personality ~


Brigid, the woman of many smiles, is what you would describe as a female who most find very difficult to decipher. Mysterious, cunning, only showing who is behind a charming façade before those she appreciates, she is confident, intelligent and charismatic, drawing those around her in a very natural way. And she knows it. Intelligent and seductive, hse knows what people wish for with a few exchange of words and an exchange of gazes, making her a very, very dangerous woman to walk around freely. Many consider her to be a source of both frustration and success, who cannot handle heavy responsibilities without putting something at risk. Life is made of chances and she likes to take them whenever she can. Brigid is known for being completely unflappable and rarely seems anxious or under stress, never allowing herself to get stuck. While she does enjoy danger, she knows when to set her interests aside to help others in need, showing an unwavering loyalty and passion for what and whom she believes in. Everything is a game for enlighten Brigid, either she wins or he loses. Make fun of her? She will laugh at your rage, envy, everything and look at you with pity, as if she is superior to you. Take it as you wish. She doesn't give a damn unless you count for something. But truth is, not everything is black and white with her. She does have his fair share of skeletons in his closet, after all. Brigid is a scared young woman like many other, afraid of the shadows that haunt her wherever she goes, afraid of being forgotten, afraid of seeing those she knew in the past, afraid of letting someone get too attached to her. She's rude, perverted, sickening even to look at. A truly pathetic wench. But she's human, despite all. She dislikes using violence to achieve is means and the idea of sadism repulses her entirely. Though the reason for that according to him is her lack of initiative and overall haughtiness, in reality she does hold morals at heart. What a shocker, wouldn't you agree? She is protective, almost to the point of possessive, especially if it concerns those in her care...this is a cruel city, after all. Stab her in the back? Oh, she will not kill you, no. She does not hold the belief that she has the right to take a life. Make your life a living hell? Oh yes. She is not a woman to mess around with. To play with, however, you will have the most certainly pleasure with her.



She will pleasure you.



In all sorts of ways.

Name:

Jack Manse

Age:

23 years

Height:

6’ 1”

Weight:

173 lbs

Appearance:

1920s-mens-fashion.jpg




Background:

America: the land of opportunity. In the eyes of a young boy who could barely afford to keep the clothes on his back, however, it seemed more like a land of desolation. Born as the only son and eldest of three to a low income immigrant family, the majority of Jack’s youth was spent watching his parents struggle to make ends meet and listening to their endless reassurances that everything would be better in time. Burdened with a past of poverty and left without even a dollar to his name, the young man vowed to pull himself out of the proverbial gutter – by whatever means necessary. What began as a few petty cappers with a couple of fellow rag-a-muffins soon evolved into a list of crimes under the youth’s name. Nonetheless, a few robberies here and there were hardly enough to earn him the wealth he was after. Thankfully some well placed acquaintances and the age-old adage of “being in the right place at the right time” landed Jack a lucrative deal with a local mafia family. After all, when it’s money your after even your soul will catch a good price.

Cop or Member:

Mafioso; member

Personality:

Disgusted by his past and striving to make it rich in the world, Jack has thrown away the brash, irrational youth of his younger years. Enigmatic and looking to present himself as a man of good standing, the Italian makes sure to always put his best foot forward – be it through a door or into the head of one of his so-called ‘enemies’. He may appear to be friendly and suave, his natural charm and looks aiding him in winning over strangers, but on the inside he’s as ruthless as they come. Cunning and always too happy to help some shove a knife into his or her own back, Jack is the kind of man to keep at an arm’s distance. Though he may be lacking in the educational department, the youth is striving to teach himself the fundamentals – and hopefully more – in the time he has between jobs. Dedication is certainly not something he lacks, and though his anger may at times get the better of him, Jack is capable enough of knowing when to act and when to keep quiet. After all, it’s a skill that’s likely saved his life on many occasions.

Name: Иаков Андроников (Jacob Dioli)


Age: 22


Height: 6’2


Weight: 185


Appearance:
150full.jpg



Background: Jacob was born into an unfortunate situation. His mother was a hussy. She would bed anything that walked, and when his father began to get wise, he threatened to kill both her and her son. Jacob was so obviously not his. He had defined features, his hair was blonde, he was of obvious Russian decent, as was his wife. Their child however, resembled an Italian, and was unfortunately for the both of them, a dead ringer for the neighbor.


The abuse started small, but in a year’s time it turned deadly. His father beat his mother into the ground one drunken night. He shouted alcohol-soaked profanities, and stumbled around, a loaded gun cocked. Truth be told, he hadn’t meant to shoot her.


The neighbor happened to coming home when the gunshots rang out, and poor Jacob’s cries for mercy could be heard from inside the house. The neighbor’s name was Johnathan Dioli. He was a stand-up kind of guy. He didn’t need a gun or knife to end the boy’s father. He picked up the beaten and bloodied boy, and took him home with him. From that day forward the boy was known as Jacob Dioli.


Cop or Member: Member


Personality: Jacob still remembers the day his father killed his mother. It’s a hard memory for him to ignore, and often ignites a fiery rage from within him. He has a hard time controlling it. When he was initiated, the only obvious route for them to take with him was Bruno. He would enforce the family’s words. He would kick in the heads of anyone who crossed them.


Forever grateful to his adopted father, and the family he was inducted into, he is fiercely loyal.


Having grown up with a father who had no issues with laying his hands on a woman, Jacob has vowed to never become that man. He respects women. He would never hurt a woman or a child, and God help the schmuck who does.

EF-at-Sun-Valley.gif


Background:

Flynn was born in Hobart, Tasmania, where his father, Theodore Thomson Flynn, was a lecturer of biology at the University of Tasmania. From an intelligent family, he had no trouble at school, where he was the classmate of a future Australian prime minister, John Gorton. He concluded formal education with being expelled from Shore for theft, and having been caught in a romantic assignation with the school's laundress. As you can see, he has always been a hell raiser, and one whom could get himself out of everything with a smooth word or two. It was with his looks, and sharp tongue that he managed to find himself overseas in the business profession. Twas all well and good...But there was no...Excitement? Soon he found himself sinking lower into the world of sin, and therefore the mafia. He’s been in the game for a while now, knowing the ins and outs of how the gangs operate.

Cop or Member:

Member

Personality:

Flirtatious, charismatic and sly, he isn’t a man to trust with anything, let alone hearts. Flynn has a small drinking problem. Small. Small meaning at least half a bottle of whiskey per day. “Thats small right?”

Filled with a cunning and wit, being able to use loopholes whenever he is quite the employee to have, and is fiercely loyal to whomever gets his contract. His humor is dry, sarcastic, but he is always a man to share a laugh with being quite jovial in his nature. Although Flynn is well known for his knee weakening smile. Since being an associate of the crime underworld, you can guess he knows when to pull out of ‘The game’. If anything, Mr. Flynn wants to keep his reputation untarnished, and untouched. More than one side can be found with the crooked businessman. His anger is amazingly explosive, ranging to the point where he’ll willingly punch up the person nearest to him.

Name:

Lorenzo Volpe

Age:

25




Height:


6' 2"

Weight:

185 lbs




Appearance:


His well toned build is often concealed under his clothing. Be it a dark suit, or if he's working, slacks with suspenders and a button up shirt. Often preferring to keep the sleeves rolled up, lest they get dirty. His hands are tough and scarred, something he easily plays off as just part of being a craftsman. He keeps his jet black hair meticulously combed back. His dark brown eyes almost look black upon first glance.




Background:


Growing up on the streets, Lorenzo quickly learned how to fend for himself and think on his feet. It was dangerous, and if putting a knife in someone's back meant survival then so be it. It wasn't long until he caught the eye of the mafia nearby. They promised him shelter if in return he'd be willing to get his hands dirt and take care of a little clean up.

Thankful for the new life, Lorenzo is always willing to please his superiors. However some have observed he may take on his role with a little too much enthusiasm. While it may never happen, this associate has always wanted to become a true member of the family.

Personality:

Always polite and loyal to members of the family. However, when working Lorenzo seems to take on an entirely different personality as he becomes rather cruel and sadistic in his tasks.

Name:


Detective Dario Calufetti



Age:


30



Height:


6'2"



Weight:


190 lbs



Appearance:



Dario is tall and fit. Broad in the shoulders and thin in the waist makes him very easy on the eyes. He keeps himself clean but doesn't care for the baby faced slicked hair look which gives him a rugged appeal.


Background:


Dario grew up in the slums of Chicago in a mostly Italian neighborhood. Things were fine, families were tight, and his dad managed to get himself a good factory job while his mom worked at a bakery with her mother. He was happy. And then one day his dad came home pale and battered. He'd fired the wrong guy and the local mob was less than pleased with the older man. But Dario's father was a man with convictions and refused to apologize or take the kid back. Within a month he'd lost his own job and after that the mob was just playing with them. A Molotov chucked through the window of his mother's workplace, their family dog left dead on the doorstep and finally his father was assaulted in an alleyway and beaten to death.



His mother turned to prostituting to support herself while Dario grew more and more bitter. He grew up with little more trouble and attended the Police Academy and took to being a cop like a fish to water.



He tore up Chicago for seven years before a once of a lifetime opportunity came up. One of their mob informants's son had drowned and the police found out before the mob. The guy looked like Dario and had been called to New York to work for the family there. The opportunity came and he took it.



For the past three years Dario has been working closely with the family as a caporegime. His false identity hasn't failed him and as far as he knows he's not suspected. Being close to the inner workings has been extremely beneficial and his slowly compiling report might be enough to do some real damage. So far he hasn't been forced to actually get his hands dirty but if it means breaking his cover he's willing to do just about anything.



Cop or Member:


Undercover Cop



Personality:


Dario isn't the most charming guy in the world but he's sure learned to put it on when necessary. He's aloof and rather gruff which many of the girls in the family interpret as being "mysterious". He rolls with it. His determination is intense and stubborn. He does have a hell of a temper but he'll never be the first one to act out. Being rational matters to him and shows in his collected attitude. Suave is a good word for him though that borders on cold.



Standing in the family:


Caporegime- he's basically in a managing position over a group of soldiers. He gets orders from the boss and they trickle down to him where he further delegates. The man he stole his identity from came highly recommended so sliding straight into such a position was easy enough. So far he hasn't fucked anything up too badly so his position should stand.

Name: Lincoln Brooks

Age: 20

Height: 5'7''

Weight: 140 lbs

Appearance:

6274472_1035222774.jpg


Background: Lincoln was born on April Fourth, 1905 in Manhattan, New York. That's right, he's Phoebe's younger twin brother-well, by five minutes, anyway. When his and Phoebe's parents vanished and never returned, the twins were separated at only three years of age and put in separate orphanages. Separate paths, it seemed as well, for as Phoebe was adopted into the mafia and made a Gun Moll, Lincoln was taken in by a Federal Officer and his family-and grew up to join the Feds just as his adoptive father retired.

Now a twenty year old Federal agent, Lincoln aids the cops in busting Speakeasies, as well as capture and arrest any known members of the Mafia who are trying to strike it rich during Prohibition. Lincoln is a firm believer in upholding the law, even at the cost of his own life. While he vaguely remembers his twin sister, he believes she's either dead or somewhere else in the country, and has no hope of seeing her again.

Cop or member: Cop-Federal Agent

Personality: Since childhood, Lincoln's anger issues have been apparent, though as an adult he's managed to control his anger to a seething and quiet rage. However, if pushed too far he'll use his fists to talk first and ask questions later. He considers himself the "Bad Cop" type, and has been known to beat perps during an interrogation session. He's nicknamed "The Blue Dragon" for this reason, serving alongside the boys in blue while having the temperament of a dragon out of fairy tales.

On the flip side, Lincoln runs on the honor system. He's not afraid to speak his mind and is an open and honest man-even if his honesty can be too blunt at times. He won't throw the first punch unless his anger gets in the way, and he really is trying to keep his anger in check, however difficult it can be. He's not all about fun and games, he is serious and focused when it comes to both work and life in general. If all work and no play keep Mafia scum off the streets, then there's no room for playtime.​

Magdalena "Madge" Rinaldi



Age:

Height:

Weight:



110 lbs



Appearance:


1920s-Beautiful-Curly-Hairstyle.jpg



Madge stands at an "intimidating" five feet, two inches and doesn't weight 120 soaking wet. She's pale and too pretty for her own good and wears her hair long despite the trends mostly due to her father protesting any time she's thought about lopping it off. Her eyes are a bright blue that offsets the darkness of her hair. She's quite the catch, lookswise anyway.



Background:



Madge was born nineteen years ago in one of the worst snow storms that winter would boast. Her father ,Rigo Rinaldi, had made himself a life running a restaurant that boasted the rustic hardiness of rural Italy. He married a pretty young Polish girl despite being in his sixties and Madge was born mysteriously "early" seven months after their nuptials. Rigo's business only grew once the Mafia discovered his restaurant and after he agreed to pay for their protection his business has flourished. Half the time the place is impossible to get into on account of The Family renting it out for parties or just to drink in peace and the other half of time you can't get a seat without a month ahead reservation. It's a charmed life.



Madge being the only child of her doting elderly father has been given the best in life. A private education, dance and music lessons to her heart's content and of course the latest fashions. She's grown up around The Family and understands their delicacies and rules and thus makes sure she's at the restaurant when they are. She'll inherit the place with her father's death and she hopes to find a rich husband before then.



Cop or Member:



Closer to a member



Personality:



Madge is best described as fairy like. Light and dreamy, she flits here and there like she's performing on stage. She's spoiled to be sure but it's somehow charming on her. She's sweet when she wants to be, knife sharp otherwise. She doesn't like not getting her way and hates being treated like she's stupid or a child.



She's a romantic to a fault and despite growing up in mob culture seems not to see any problem with the lifestyle. She adores poetry and literature and the glamour of her surroundings. Madge might be a handful but she thinks she's worth it.

Background:

Luciana grew up in the world of the mafia and it’s all she’s ever known. As the only daughter and youngest child of her parents she was doted on from an early age but that doesn’t mean she’s naïve of molly coddled, she knows just what the world’s like. Her life is a cycle of violence and luxury which are merged into one most of the time. But honestly, Luciana wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s knows the feds don’t like them and want to shut them down but she also knows they’re gonna have a damn hard job touching her family.

Personality:

Luciana is a strong willed girl with a pretty exterior hiding a well-protected interior. She may look pretty and delicate most of the time but she’s tough and deadly if provoked or crossed. Her strong will however can be a problem as it comes hand in hand with a major stubborn streak that can get Luci in trouble at times; although she kind of enjoys being trouble a fair bit of the time really. All in all Luci is a troublesome girl who likes to push her boundaries and should definitely not be crossed.

46c335f99677168865bc5d8439651f4e.jpg


(Something alike this)

Longish dirty blonde hair, usually swept under his hat, with grey steely eyes. Stands at 6’4, with a rather blocky heavy set figure, sporting wide shoulders and broad chest. All in all a man who looks like he can crush you in a fist alone. His jaw and cheekbones are rather prominent, giving off quite a scandinavian look. Leon supports a rugged stubble over his chin and jawline. Usual attire consists of the usual burberry trench coat, black fedora along with his shirt, suspenders and trousers.

Background:

His childhood was happy I suppose you could say, father a hardworking man whilst his mother battled an unknown illness. She eventually died, although him and his father carried on. Leon joined the great war when it first came to America 1917, at the age of 25… The horrors still haunt him to this day. Liberation of the concentration camps even more so. Afterwards he found himself returning to policing rather than what he’d been doing originally (Working the coal mines). With new training, and a uniform he worked himself up the ranks finding a new calling in the law. Yet the law didn’t always go his way. Soon he found himself always doing stuff ‘Off the books’. Even accidentally sleeping with a few suspects here and there. Or in this case one very lovely jewel thief, Cleopatra Greenwood. Ah well, none of the romances lasted. Cleo disappeared, and Leon simply carried on. Unfortunately Cleo had a child, now this child at the age of 3 managed to wind up on his doorstep with a note, which stated the infant was his. True to this the toddler had his hair, and eyes along with the temper. He at the time, was still a young man with more case files than he could handle. Although when it came to giving the poor thing away, he’d always tell himself ‘Tomorrow’ or ‘Next week’. Turns out he never gave her away. Infact he gave ‘her’ a name, got the kid christened under the title of- Essie Waites. Now 10 years old she’s the joy and bane of his existence. Everything he does, he does for his little girl. Not that many would know about her, as Leon dislikes anyone learning of his biggest weakness.

Cop or Member:

Crooked Cop

Personality:

Oh your usual detective, although this one likes to derail more than he should. A dark, brooding and menacing man with a temper to boot. He likes to solve crimes his way and nobody elses. Leon... Works with the lesser evil, to catch bigger evil. He has… Contacts, makes deals shall we say? But call him a corrupt cop, and he’ll call you a ambulance when he’s finished with you. So what? He let out some mafia guys, a few drug dealers. But now who has the real power? He has so many favours tucked under his belt, with knowledge on how to use them- meaning he is not a man to mess with. Leo is widely renowned as a highly intelligent and strategic detective, with unusual methods on how to catch his guy. Yet even the detective has issues. He’s a workaholic, insomniac and has manic depression, his lows getting very dark, bordering suicidal.

Appearance:

Background:

The middle child of the Manse family and younger only to her beloved brother Jack, Lydia grew up with poverty as her best friend. She may have been the sensible one of the three as a child, but anyone could see the ambition that shone in her eyes. Like her brother before her, the brunette desired the one thing she had never had as a child: money. Nonetheless, falling in with the wrong sort of people wasn’t Lydia’s downfall – it was her impressionable heart. Unlike her brother who turned to crime, Lydia allowed herself to be wooed by a rich bachelor who saw nothing in her but a pretty face. At his side she would be no more than a pretty little trophy, a doll for him to tote around, but she couldn’t bring herself to care. Convinced that she would one day fall in love with him, she accepted his proposal for marriage. Paradise didn’t stay sweet for long however. When her new-found fiancé’s violent temper showed itself to her in the worst way possible, Lydia wasted no time in turning to the only person she could trust: her elder brother. With the memories of her former lover’s grievances against her still fresh in her mind, the brunette has vowed to extract revenge for her broken heart and dreams in any way she can. After all, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. And this woman is nothing if not a force to be reckoned with.

Cop or Member:

Member of sorts.

Personality:

A woman with a goal in life and a mouth to back it up, Lydia is far from the simpering housewife. Life has always handed her the short end of the stick, and though she doesn’t like to let it get to her, she’s far from ignorant of her standing in the world. Where she was once innocent and naïve, she is now tainted – at least in her eyes – and far too well acquainted with the darker side of humanity than she would ever dare admit. Though she may appear soft spoken and mellow, a proper woman if there ever was one, the reality of the situation is that she’d manipulative to a fault. She’s learned well enough about how men operate, and though she now holds a general mistrust of them, Lydia has no qualms in using that knowledge to her advantage. Her devotion to her brother is as pure as it comes, and though she does not agree with everything that he has done, she is always looking out for him in any way that she can.

Victor has been known around the hidden away bars as 'Razor', for he always keeps his lucky one with him. They also says he takes the ring finger of his victims as a calling card to himself. The Italians admire his confidence and omission, although, he isn't taking kindly by he Russians, chinks, and Swedes.

Hired Hand of the Italians for about 4 years.

C h a r a c t e r Name: Diana Elizabeth Gish


Age: 21


Height: 5'3


Weight: 135lbs

Appearance:

And I Will Never
tumblr_mdnw91Ilrx1rt59mbo1_500.gif
Never Again
audreyhepburn.jpg
Run Away From Life
Audrey-Hepburn-Animated-GIFs-45.gif
Background: Diana was born into a broken family, the youngest of three, one brother and one sister.


Her father was an alcoholic who caroused around, was rarely at home and left the family to more or less to fend for themselves. To help make ends meet, thier brother quit school to work and her, her sister and mother went into local productions. Acting was going quite well, getting enough to provide food, shelter and clothing and maybe some frivolous objects. But, the audience slowly decreased as better and bigger competition moved in, slowly going back to thier recent state. Desperate, her mother contacted some of her fathers....old friends. The Mafia. Her mother sought help from them and they hesitantly accepted, only if they helped smuggled alcohol by.



The Mafia respectfully paid them and that's how they scraped by.



Along with that, they taught them how to defend themselves if needed, melee and gun. Diana was quite well, keeping a small pistol with her if needed, though she finds it slightly useless.



When Diana turned 17, she wanted to start up acting again, tired of illegally transporting alcohol.



Cop or Member: A member..? Kind of?


Personality: Diana is thought of as different than most females, even nicknamed a "tomboy" at times. Diana is not afraid to speak her eccentric mind, and not afraid of what people will think about it. She is also quite independent, a bit fiery when people doubt her. Diana indeed has class and tends to "kill others with kindness", but once she thinks its the last straw, she will gladly and graciously call you out.


A lot of people underestimate her, but she doesn't mind. She's tough and she kinda knows it.



Standing in the family: Close friend; "Helper"; Possible bachelorette

Name: Vito "Il Bove" Moretti


Age: 42


Height: 6''4'


Weight: 242 lb


Appearance:


james_gandolfini___tony_soprano___copyright_fb_by_kjillustration-d6avqr1.jpg



Background:


Vito Moretti was born on the 28th of May 1883 ind Lower Manhattan , NYC and like any other kid growing up in Mulberry bend "Little Italy" Vito took to a life of crime , it started off with petty theft and roughing people up for cash but ended up turning into smuggling , extortion and loan sharking.



By the time Vito was 16 he was running with this small time street gang that honestly , didn't know what it was doing , they'd rob stores clean for no good reason , beat up anyone just for looking at them wrong and the best part was nobody seemed to care about what they did or didn't do but by the 1890's things changed , the cops got tougher on crime and the other gangs got trigger happy . Vito knew that if he wanted to survive this game he had to be in a system where everything was organised and where everyone knew their place - The Cosa Nostra , The Mafia.



Being an associate in the Mafia isn't easy but Vito kept his head down and did what he was told to do , soon they recognized Vito's talents and he was initiated into the Mafia as a Bruno or an enforcer for the Family . Thus the glory days began , booze ,women , parties everything a man could wish for . No one could touch him , he was protected , shielded by the family but the thing is Vito wasn't a man without ambition .



He and a few guys from his "crew" started stealing shipments of cigars ,alcohol and any other product they got their hands on from rival families and the state , now of course the guy upstairs got a large cut of the profits but he was making a lot and I mean a lot of profit so much so that he soon was the highest earner in the establishment.



But , you see , when someone begins stealing your hard earned cash and almost torches your business to the ground , you don't take kindly to that person . A hit was announced on Vito's life and as he was walking out of a local casino was shot 5 times in the chest by two gunmen - whether it was gods work or blind luck . Vito survived the gunshots and from then on got the epithet "Il Bove" or the Ox .



Soon after he was was promoted to the rank of Capo and with all that had happened in a past few years he thought he'd take a vacation with the Family to Florida and now ,well now he's back .... fashionably late to an Initiation.



Cop or Member: Member


Personality: Vito is a fun guy to be around and people say he's real good at telling stories , the only problem is if he tells you the same story again and again especially about the time he presumably porked Lillian Gish. Although Vito is mostly fun and games make a note of never getting on his nerves.


Standing in the family: He's been in the Family a long time and was just promoted to the rank of a Capo

Yolanda Acerbi


21 Years of Age


Height of 5 feet 7 inches


Weighs 126.7 lbs

Appearance:


Please click on the accordions.



Background:


Yolanda Emilia Bacardi was born on February 28, 1904. Her mother and father were very loving, yet very poor. They shipped her to America with her Aunt Theresa at the age of 10, there they lived vivid and colorful life for a splendor amount of time. At the age of 15 Yolanda's Aunt died in an alleyway, shot before she was mugged and had to sell her life short in an entertainment house, Yolanda the one that found her body. Crazy, the girl showed little emotion.


At the age of fifteen, Yolanda had lived her life well, smart, and classy, that she never let anyone touch her without permission, and she put up a wonderful fight 'till she was thrown on the streets. Yolanda, jumping from house to house, refusing to be what her Aunt once was, worked at a restaurant as waitress, a Salon Apprentice, and a Librarian. She managed three jobs at once in just six short months. Even so, she was put on the streets several times in one year before being taken in underneath a strange man's wing.



Marcello was her best costumer, tipped her well, and talked to her casually during his late night visits at the La Rosa Marquette Restaurant near Manhattan, always asking her how she was and what interesting stories she has learned about the people that have come and gone. She spoke little to him, but it was just enough.



He was immediately like family to her, he was young and could've been her lover, but he treated her like a daughter and made sure she was not raised into his family ignorant, for he was very well acquainted with the Mafia. One could say he was the Consigliere due to his father's former position a few years back, but who's to tell? It was a tough process, learning how to use a knife in combat, a gun was easy, but her flexibility never left her short. Once Yolanda defined her feelings for Marcello he passed because of Leukemia, he was to finish their training, although she already understood and played coy. Now, Yolanda Emilia Acerbi, adopting the last name he gave her and the money handed to her in his will, is apart of the Mafia, a moll slash informant. Her flirtatious skills plus her intelligence making her the best informant they have, since she tends to outsmart even the wealthiest of American Men before they even know what hit them; being a librarian had its perks since boredom was relatively frequent.



Personality:


Yolanda is a very classy woman, she does not talk unless she is talked to, she rarely flinches, and lives life to the fullest. Her posture is splendid, and it's hard to deny that she is very beautiful. She's also enigmatic, almost, and she loves to talk about anything that is passionate to her. Because she's smart, she openly flirts with just about anyone when she catches them staring and teases those she finds less interesting. But, it doesn't mean she doesn't know how to act when around the Mafia, such a childish side shall never be revealed and it's always about maturity, a rule she gave to herself. She's also a bachelorette in both Italy and America, for her family has wealth in Italy, but such a title held no importance in America, so being a Moll has its perks, if not for the unrelenting fact she had to lose her virginity to some Old American Govern man in order to ensure her newfound family and friends stayed under the radar; she had to get drunk for that, and it was Marcello's call. He messed up and wanted her to clean his mess if she were to dedicate herself to the family.



Yolanda is also a feather weight, she gets drunk after one sip, sometimes two. Although drunk, she still remembers a lot, never had a hang over, and functions very well when angry. She's extremely giggly when she has giggle water, slang for alcohol, and because she knows this she often stays away unless something is bothering her. Yolanda also doesn't trust any man that flirts back to her merely because she never fell in love, and she didn't want to test love either.



She's often known as the
Heartless Violet Flower because of her name and personality.


Member - she doesn't have a rank, she's only called when needed and loves to hang out with most of the Mafia Soldiers and Capo.

Standing in the family: She's been in the family for 7 years, but it feels like it has been longer than that, almost as if she was born into it. She's also a bachelorette.
