chicago, il, usa
Chicago, Illinois, a city known for opportunity and its extensive history that lurks in the dark. From prohibition to the lively 50s, Chicago was plagued with various crime families that dominated the city. Some lived large and died out in a burning fire while others lived on, their roles adjusting with the times. Feuds run generations deep and the pavement is coloured with the blood of fights between crime families. If you look close enough and in the right places, many of these families still exist: the teller at the bank, a crooked cop on a traffic stop, a wise bartender who knows a little too much.
There seems to be one universal truth, though, something that motivates all these families to survive: once you're dead, you're gone for good.
In 1902, a clan of Italians under the family name 'Ludovici' immigrated to America. They faced hardship and were forced to turn to the crime lords and crime families to earn a living. Over the generations, the family's influence began to grow. They maintained power throughout the world wars, ran profitable speakeasies during prohibition, dined with the stars during the golden age of Hollywood. The Ludovicis became known for their power and influence, even helping politicians from time to time, protecting those who needed help, hunted down those who did wrong in a blaze of vigilante justice.
Make no mistake, although they were known as a tolerant and almost helpful crime family, the Ludovicis had enemies: politicians who thought they could not control them, the crooked cops that got too close and got exposed, people who threatened the family's power. They remained virtually untouchable until a fateful day in 1999 when, in broad daylight, a firefight broke out in a warehouse on the edge of the city. When the authorities arrived, they found the Ludovici family, including the Godfather Marco Ludovici, riddled with bullet holes.
The Ludovici Crime family was no more. Perhaps even worse, no one knew who killed them.
The remaining few members of the Ludovici family changed their names and were forced to flee the city, namely Marco's two children. They hid across the country until one day in 2023...

๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ฑ. ๐ฐ. ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Eleven letters were sent across the city to uniquely talented individuals. Some were known by the family, some strangers, some previously involved in crime, some as straight laced as they come. Beatrice and Angelo Ludovici, the lost children of Godfather Marco Ludovici, are building the family once more, hungry for the power, glory, wealth, influence, and respect that their family's name once carried.
You received one of those letters. Now, you find yourself on the doorstep of the once famous Ludovici crime family.
Will you help them rebuild their legacy? Or will you stand with them as it burns to the ground once more?
rules
Please be aware that, due to the nature of this rp, I am asking for all writers to be 18+. Please also be aware that this roleplay will include themes such as: violence, war, fighting, romance, character death, and mild gore. If any of these themes are something you are not interested in, or comfortable with, please do not apply. That being said, triggering content can be limited and will be discussed so that everyone is safe.rule one
I feel like this shouldn't have to be stated but my roleplay will NOT be a place that tolerates any sort of bigotry or hatred. Diversity is beautiful and there will be a zero tolerance policy for things like racism, hatred to the LGBTQ+ community, hatred to different religions/cultures, etc.. If you want to be discriminatory and mean, please go elsewhere.rule two
Activity will be critical for this rp. I will be expecting posts at least once a week, though more is always welcome! I will also request that you do not apply if you do not expect to be active in the OORP Discord for plotting, IC, and planning purposes. This rp will be built around a community of dedicated writers so participation is key.rule three
I am asking for semi-lit writers. The aim is to have shorter, more frequent posts of 2-3 paragraphs rather than novella style posts. You are totally more than welcome to write longer posts, but shorter posts are also accepted. We just ask that you put in enough to reply to, that your reply advances the story, and that you attempt to use proper grammar and descriptive language. If anyone has difficulty with grammar, spelling, etc. please let me know and we can totally accommodate that.rule four
As I said before, Discord is mandatory and non-negotiable for this roleplay. The RP will feature story arcs that contain a combination of group jobs, individual character development, free time for characters, and larger character arcs. In order for this to happen, we do need people who are interested in bringing forward ideas and participating in the overall plotting. I want everyone to feel heard and like they've had a true impact on the story.rule five
This roleplay is realistic and thus, we ask that the characters be realistic as well. Realistic faceclaims are mandatory. Everyone is allowed to apply for one role and it is not first come first served. That being said, if there is a character application that I enjoy, I will be accepting the character as it is posted and completed. Additionally, once the roles are finished being filled, side characters can be created for plotting purposes and will have no limit.rule six

roles
the boss
#taken
#the leader
#femme fatale
a position taken up by Beatrice Ludovici. Powerful, wise, and nearly untouchable, Beatrice rules equally and takes care of her own. She's fair and somewhat kind, though she is not a force to be reckoned with. Bea also calls the shots when times get tough.
the underboss
#taken
#understudy
#well-balanced
One of the closest people to Beatrice, and a long time friend of the Ludovicis. Well-balanced and attentive, the Underboss helps Beatrice run the show and helps out where possible. If anything were to happen to Beatrice, the underboss must be ready to take over.
the consigliere
#taken
#the right-hand
#advisor
The best friend to the boss, the Consigliere is Beatrice's most trusted advisor. Acting as a force of reason, the Consigliere maintains a neutral or positive view to the public, offering valuable information and influence that members of a crime family may not be able to receive.
the capo (muscle)
#taken
#strength
#protector
The best fighter in the mafia, this person is the expert fighter. In the toughest situations, this Capo is reliable and well-rounded, making them invaluable as an ally. On top of their job as being the main soldier and fighter, they are responsible for training the crew and keeping everyone in shape. They are also responsible for the two other members of the muscles: the weapon's expert and the bodyguard.
the weapons expert
#open
#technical
#smart
Working under the supervision of the muscle capo, their personโs job is to find, maintain, and manipulate weapons. Theyโre experts in all different kinds of weaponry, though are not as skilled in overall combat as their capo.
the bodyguard
#open
#trusted
#intimidation
When in public, the bodyguard is often assigned to someone at risk. Skilled with close combat and blending in, they are a trusted member of the group. They are also known for brute strength and looking quite intimidating.
capo of the minds
#taken
#wise
#sleuth
Wise, clever, and impossible to catch, this Capo provides intel to the group. Working closely with the Consigliere as a deadly duo, they also work to make plans and to keep enemies at bay. In addition to their other duties, they are also in charge of the two other members of the mind group: the tech expert and the spy.
the tech expert
#open
#connected
#electronics
A wiz with ones and zeroes, the tech expert is in charge of the security systems and digital safety of the crew. They also have a soft spot for cars and do a lot of the repairs on the familyโs wheels. Just donโt post anything too odd on your social media, they can probably see it.
the spy
#open
#sneaky
#actor
Whoever this person is, itโs hard to tell their fact from fiction. Theyโre expert at acting and creating false identities, both for themselves and for others. When intel is needed from a dangerous source, the spy goes in.
the detective
#open
#the force
#betrayer
Once known for hunting down the family, the detective has had a change of heart. Now their job is to provide backup from the inside of the police force. They donโt get along too well with the Boss but that could change with time.
the doctor
#taken
#dark
#genius
How this person still has a medical license, no one knows. Working as a skilled surgeon by day, he keeps the crew healthy and safe. Just donโt ask where he gets his medicineโฆ or bloodโฆ or anything, really.
the medical apprentice
#taken
#caring
#field medic
Perhaps the less illegal counterpart to the doctor, the apprentice is far more adjusted to working in the field. Akin to a paramedic, the apprentice stabilizes in the field as the main medical advisor while studying more advanced techniques under the watchful eye of the doctor.
the relic
#taken
#lone survivor
#bartender
Heโs been around since before the new age of the Ludovicis and is somewhat of a father figure. The lone survivor of the Ludovici massacre, he remains loyal to the family and helps to provide intel and free drinks through his bar.
We'll never get free lamb to the slaughter. What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
The price of your greed is your son and your daughter. What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
