Realistic or Modern Neo Noir Crime Story

[Jabroni]

This information may be considered OOC unless your characters have committed a crime. I will allow up to three (3) characters to be submitted per player. When filling out your sheet, think about how these people are going to interact within the framework. Could there be a witness to the restaurant slaying? How about accomplices? Who's really pulling the strings here? I leave a great deal of creative control in your hands.

​

Name: John S. Abbey
Date of Birth: 03/03/1965
Height:6`2
Occupation: Enforcer

Criminal Record: Larceny, Safebreaking, Soliciting.
Status: Paroled

Notes: A common cat-burglar, John S. Abbey was caught early in his criminal career and sent to Metro City Prison for 10 years. Recently released on good behaviour, John made good use of the contacts gathered behind bars, and has taken up a job as the security in one of the underground gambling dens, as well as an enforcer and debt collector of the ********** gang that is running the show. Since he is still technically on probation, John is wary of any more daring criminal activities other than common and honest fleecing of Metro city citizens.

Name: Christopher McMahon
Date of Birth: 25/07/1956 (35 Years Old)
Height: 6ft. 1in.
Occupation: Private Investigator

Criminal Record: No
Status: Clean

Notes:
McMahon served the MCPD as a police inspector for 12 years before allegations of bribery and corruption led to his resignation in 28 September 1989. Investigation into the matter was discontinued after the department failed to find conclusive evidence to support the allegations. To this day, McMahon maintains his innocence.

To this date, the McMahon Investigative Services has been running successfully for over a year. In this time, it has received a number of civil lawsuits from spouses alleging that McMahon committed entrapment and/or blackmail in his investigations. Thus far, all of the lawsuits have been dropped.

McMahon’s car (Black 1989 Chevrolet Camaro) was spotted outside Trattori’s on the night of the incident. McMahon confirms being present at the location on the specified date, but claims to have been there on other business. He has refused to cooperate with the precinct further. Note that McMahon has a history with the case’s lead inspector, Jack Donovan.

Name: Sally Salome
Date of Birth: 16/6/59
Height: 5'8"
Occupation: Defense Attorney at Salome, Priestman, and Burbank.

Criminal Record: No
Status: Clean

Notes: Sally Salome is known as "that Sally bitch" to many detectives and prosecutors of the MCPD. Rarely seen outside of a crime scene, courthouse, or police station, she's well-known for taking on cases of no-hope murderers and negotiating plea deals that usually land them with community service. She's a killer in the courtroom, and knows every bylaw and regulation like the back of her hand. She was at Trattori's on the night of the incident, claiming that she brought her father there for dinner for his birthday. Video confirms that she sat down with her father, had dinner, and left precisely thirty minutes before the incident, driving away uptown towards her father's suburban home.

Internal Affairs conducted a thorough investigation into the shooting and found multiple instances of corruption. Detective Christopher McMahon was subpeonaed for testimony along with several other members of the MCPD. Following the events, Detective Donovan was exonerated by an IA review board. He has since begun seeing a therapist once a week and takes prescribed antidepressants.

Responding to a call on December 15th, 1991, he was assigned to the Trattori's murder case under Sergeant Robert Palladino.

​

Name: James Flannagan
Date of Birth: 11/20/67 (28 years old)
Height:6'3
Occupation: FBI Investigator

Criminal Record: Several petty thefts in his childhood
Status: Clean

Notes: Born in the slums, not much is known about Jack's past, save for the fact that he was an orphaned thief and that he had a older sister that he loved more than anything. She was murdered while in the presence of a mob boss by a hitman, and from that day James dedicated himself to finding her murderer. He was adopted by a police officer soon after, and joined the FBI when he was twenty three after graduating with a degree in criminal justice. He became a top agent after several cases, and has been assigned to Tratorri's murder alongside Detective Donovan. He smokes, always wears a trenchcoat, and believes Tratorri's murderer was the one who offed his sister. He refuses to use the standard issue sidearm for the agency, instead using an M1911 handgun that he adores. He was married two years ago, though his wife is back home in the South.

Name: Vanessa Davis
Date of Birth: 02/02/1972 (18 years)
Height: 5'4
Occupation: Whatever she can get her hands on.

Criminal Record: Yes
-Theft
Status: Wanted

Notes:
"I've been living on the bare minimum, and I keep thinking to myself: 'Why not more'?"
Growing up in a house with a single mother was never easy. Momma was a prostitute, and to make money on the side pushed whatever she could get a hold of (Whatever her 'boyfriend' at the time gave her access to). Eventually, once each of her four kids were old enough (six or seven), they helped assisted in 'deliveries'. Nessa's very smart, keeps herself educated when she can, if she tried, she might be able to get a degree. The problem is, crime is a much quicker, much more exciting payoff, and the people she's been hanging out with lately have been very dangerous. It's possible she's 'in' with those committing murder. Who knows?

Name: Elaine "Elle" Casarelli
Date of Birth: 01/23/1947
Height: 5'8
Occupation: Owner of Lucky's Ladies gentlemen's club.

Criminal Record: Not found.
Status: Clean

Notes: She's been running Lucky's for John Camerino, a member of the reputed ********** gang. Her position stems from a knack for picking up "strays" and having girls turn tricks on the side. After becoming a lucrative cash business, she exercises a great deal of authority within the Red Light District. Law enforcement appears to come up empty each time they investigate Casarelli for illegal activity (whether intentionally or otherwise).

Stacey Logan, one of the victims of the Trattori's murders, was a former dancer at Lucky's and had recently quit her job there.

Name: Nolan Bentley
Date of Birth: 14/02/1963
Height: 5'11"
Occupation: Author / Journalist / Papparazzo

Criminal Record: No
Status: Clean

Notes:
"All due respect, gentlemen, but I'm sure you folks, of all people, know better than to ask me for my sources. I got a tip that something exciting might happen at the Trattori's that day, and I ain't never been one to leave any stone unturned. Beyond that, I'm afraid I can only tell you what I saw that night, and boy, it was not pretty.

Honestly? One bad thing I did that day was get the Alfredo. Pasta was too soggy for anyone's liking."

Nolan is a journalist for the local paper's celebrity gossip column. He can often be seen wandering around downtown, armed with a notepad and a camera.

Under the pseudonym, J. J. Spade, he is also known as the best-selling author of The Metro Tattle Tale: Behind the Bars, an investigative look into the connections between the MCPD and illicit activity within the Red Light District, and its 1989 follow-up, The Metro Tattle Tale: Cop-Out. J. J. Spade has recently announced that he is working on a third book. The details remain a secret.
