The Sop
"As if there are still men in this planet, you're always gonna have organized crimes, to serve their needs and of course... profit."
Now who are you kid ? A new comer to this city then? So I guess you know where you're heading. Then let me give you a little advise, keep your head down and keep that nose cleaned."
...
"- What ? You want to know about the situation on the street right now ? What are you, retarded ? Are you having any wild idea about hitting someone here and make a name for yourself. If so you should go home kid, finish that drink and come back to wherever you were before. Because let me tell you, these guys, they've been in the game for more years, and you wouldn't be able to touch them. Before you're gonna do something stupid, let me tell you the story here.
This is Neo Fontaine, 2071, and every corners of this city has someone own them. There are currently 5 families out there, everybody knows that, the big 5: The Libero, The Sandro, The Olsson Outfit, The Yamazaki and The 7K.
They controls this city, not on the surface, but basically they do. Everything here, gambling, prostitution, night club, narcotics, weapons... if not belong to some of them, it belong to the other. You could try, but you wouldn't even find a dime to pick up on the street, not unless they toss it away for you. It mean that if you want to earn, you must have their permission. They hook you up, you live well, but if you become a rock in their way, they'll wipe your of the planet and nobody would even know where to find your body.
How do you meet them ? Well it's easy. When you're one of them, you will be provided. High-tech weapons and armor, cybernetic implants, that kind of stuff, the higher you are the better you're equipped. Normally, a soldier would just carry a gun or a riffle, if you see someone with highly modified suit or cybernetic limb, that's probably a higher rank member, a captain or something. They're not hard to find, but think twice before you do.
The situation in the city now is quite fine, I guess, all the bosses has compromised about territories long time ago and nobody want an all out conflict. But with business keep growing, there are bound to be conflict.
------------------------------------
- This is my idea for a cyberpunk mafia - Organized crime RP (I haven't thought of the name for this RP though). The year will be 2071 in a city call Neo Fontaine, in America. The story will be around the underworld of Neo Fontaine, where the crime families control all the illegal business in the city. We will be a part of their conflict, compromise, business and timely power transition within the family.- As much I love mob story, I want to keep this RP balance, logical and exciting at the same time. Not everytime we have conflict and go fight each other or different family, there are also compromise and trading, heist, and violence is only there when it's necessary.
- Each syndicate will have the same structure:
Boss
Advisor
Underboss
Captain
Soldier
Associate
Depend on the plot, sometimes the structure will be changed a little bit (for example: a two/three bosses, power sharing situation to resolve the conflict). Beyond that, there are the Commission consist of 5 bosses of the 5 family to make decision, it's the governing body of the Neo Fontaine Crime Syndicate. This is fictional sci-fi crime syndicate, so originality and nationality aren't require for a character to join a family, you don't have to be Italian to join the Libero or Chinese or Japan to join the Yamazaki or the 7K mobs.
To keep a happy ground, prevent any OP situation, god mods, meta-gaming, I won't let new joiner choose their rank at the beginning. Everyone has to start as an associate. For each story chapter you go through with us, you step us to a higher rank, associate to soldier to captain. But from captain to any higher rank will be considered differently. Since only the Boss choose his Underboss and Advisor, one can only become a Boss/Underboss/Advisor if the situation require a new one (for example a new boss step up and he need a new Underboss and Advisor whom he can trust).
For each higher rank, your character will have a special upgrade in their arsenal. As an associate, you'll have the usual guns and melee weapon. When you're made into a family, you will be provided with more up-to-dated weapons by the family, like sci-fi pistol, riffle, flamethrower, laser melee weapon, ... along with highly modified armor as well. A captain will get more upgrade like cybernetic bodyparts and other cybernetic upgrade . Finally as a boss, underboss and advisor there are biological upgrade and robotic personal bodyguard. Right now we're still pretty unclear on what you would be getting if you get high rank, but I'll make a list for it.
I want to make sure if this idea work, so first I only bring the size down to just one family, the Libero family. Our character can be only a Libero member or associate.
That's all of it for now. If you're interested, please stay and leave a comment on how you want it done with me.
This is the main thread I've made
