*******
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.
It soon became apparent that the wealthy and brutal Moretti Family; the Porters' closest rivals in New York City, were behind Liam Sullivan's death. Over the last few years, attention was directed at taking down the Moretti Family, both in revenge for Liam's death and to wipe out the closest competition. In 1969, Francesco Moretti, the boss of the Italian-American gang was killed by the Porters and the remaining members of the gang were gunned down. This left the Porters with more businesses to add to their empire and greater control over the city's criminal activities.
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 had brought in even 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! **New York City, New York, July 1971

Rules
1. Misty Gray , Bellz , Pyroclast , Enzyme are the GMs.

5. Please only join if you can commit to posting at least 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.
