Hollywood has painted gang and organized crime with a slight silver hue of light.
All the classics you know and love has always peak your curiosity as to what it would be to be in a mob or gang; the danger, the money, the luxury of tax-free income.
It sure seems so very glamorous to the outside viewers.
You know better of course.

Loyalty, respect, and structure were the key to keeping the DiSarrono from being crushed by the many, many years of fighting, death, and wealth gained. The DiSarrono has adapted through the years with the technology as well as the laws to keep their 'businesses' running without question. However, some believe that the old school style of organized crime has run its course and the dawn of the new age is looking to edge its way into the business.

This new age way of running the town is not family based like the DiSarrono, but more so a close-knit syndicate of friends/partners that each specialize in one area of another. The four-man counsel oversee drug trafficking, human trafficking, weapons trafficking, and embezzlement. The Syndicate is reaching in the DiSarrono territory of human trafficking as well as bringing drugs into their turf. How with the DiSarrono deal with the new comers as they overstep their boundaries and will the Syndicate prove to be a force to be acknowledge? Only time will tell as two powerful forces collide.

● ● ● Basics xFollow Gaia Terms of Service. As a Gaian, you have the responsibility to be courteous to other Gaians. If you have a problem, let someone else know. Even better, contact a Gaia mod. Because Gaia is a social scene I know you might be tempted to cyber, but please don't. I encourage you to go out in the real world and hire a hooker or call a friend or something else. Don't cyber or you will be reported and banned. Because we are all mature or relatively mature people here I don't want you to curse other people out, even if they deserve it. Do not disrespect me by God modding or moving other people's characters. They worked hard to create those characters so don't abuse them! Please keep content here PG-13,if you must, time skip.

● ● ● Literacy xThis is a literate roleplay. I expect that you post between 1-6 paragraphs per post. You should post regularly. If you are away or busy, please let everyone know in the OOC. As always, use italics for thoughts and bold for speech. If you use a character that is not your own, aka an NPC, I expect that you will use a different color than your own for their speech. I don't mind cursing, even if it is every other word, as long as it fits the character. I expect that all of you will use spell check. If there are one or two slip ups in the post, I will not ask you to change them. Please try to be on top of your own writing. It's embarrassing to make mistakes and it's annoying after a while to see the same mistakes over and over again. I'm no Grammar Nazi but some literates are. Beware that you are joining a literate roleplay and may get your a** served on a plate.

● ● ● Posting xI will not tolerate any out of character conversations unless they are short and follow proper format. Whether it be OOC: or [[ ]] or (( )) please try to keep the OOC conversations to a minimum in the main thread. In the OOC you are free to chat as you would like, without any critiques of spelling and grammar. I want decorated posts. There needs to be at least one picture of your character within your post. I want size 9-11 sized fonts. Please use colors that will not burn my eyes after long periods of reading. Please include their name in there somewhere, first name at the very least, and what family they work under.

● ● ● Joining xDo not edit my skeletons, they are made in a particular way on purpose. For your images, remember to use anime pictures only. I have the right to refuse your character or ask you to change any aspect. PM your profile titled with the name of the family or occupation of your character.

● ● ● Characters xYou may have up to two characters. If you would like three, you need to plead your case to me. I do not want any Mary-Sue characters or inappropriate Bio's. If you feel that you would like to change something about your character's bio, let me know and we'll see what comes of it.

● ● ● Mafia Behavior xI want violence and romance. There should be plenty of action going on. I love drama and problems. Because these are mafia groups, all of the subordinates should be loyal to their families. If there is mixing between the alliances, there are bound to be bloody consequences. Every scene does not need to be filled with blood and guts, though it is encouraged to have as much of it as possible.

● ● ● Goddess xAs creator of this roleplay I have authority to change the rules or kick people out as I see fit. Of course, I will make an announcement when any such action is performed and will most likely not do either. I am fairy easy-going and fair natured. This is not my first roleplay that I have ever created. Please respect me as you expect to be respected. I am online quite frequently for questions, please do not be scared. Pm's are the best way to contact me. I get on and off of Gaia frequently throughout the day and never hide my online status.

Sotto Capo
Isabella Velante

Sadness…this was the sound that filled the halls of the DiSarrona Mansion. The large house was mostly empty. Those that stayed either had no business to attend or were waiting for business. The house was dimly lit adding to the sad aurar that swallowed the house. The sorrowful strings of violin music filled the halls. The tempo slow and filled with emotions. The hands that controlled the instrument were skilled not clumsy. Years of mastering such a instrument. Many in the house would tell you that only once a year did they hear the instrument played. The music although beautiful screamed of loss and pain.

The music led into a beautifully Italian furnished bedroom. The blinds were closed throwing an ominous shadow over the room. Upon the mahogany side table located next to the four poster bed stood a bottle of red wind half finished and a crystal wine glass. A golden glow fell across a figure who struck the bow against the strings of the violin producing the sad music. The figure was none other than Isabella Velante.

Isabella is known most notoriously as the second in command of the DiSarrona family. Cold, quick tempered, perfectionist and ruthless were just some of the terms used to describe her. She often carried herself with a great deal of confidence, showing very little emotion. However at this very moment the figure was completely different. Her shoulders were slumped in defeat, her face held a sad expression, her eyes red from crying. Instead of her usual sophisticated apparel she wore a pair of shorts and a large baggy Tee. Her hair was pulled back into a messy bun. Isabella had her eyes closed as she played.

The reason for the young mobsters condition was simple. It was the anniversary of her parents’ murder. Every year on this particular day she was given the day to herself where she wouldn’t have to deal with any meetings, tortures or incompetent men. She allowed herself one day of grieving, one day where she could let herself go and not have to be strong. One day to remember what she had lost.

Isabella sat for most of the day playing and remembering, however her day was cut short when her cellphone began to ring. She placed her violin down to check the number. She Immediately recognized it and answered, ”Si, Isabella” she listened to the other party on the other line without questioning what she was being told,”I will handle it…” was her only reply before she hung up. With a sigh she got up and went into her bathroom to shower and came out dressed in a very professional looking pencil-skirt and buttoned up shirt. She walked over to her dresser and pulled her gun holster from her drawer before fastening it and pulling a blazer of it.

She left her room in a hurry heading down to the foyer and out the front doors where a black Mercedes stood ready for her. She slid into the back seat and after telling the driver where to go she pulled her phone from her pocket and dialled a number. “Marco” she spoke into the phone with a businesslike tone,”Meet me at the usual spot, we have to discuss the shipment. My boss has some concerns.” She hung up and grated her teeth obviously annoyed.

I have an offer for you....

The low hum of air rush over the jet muffled by noise cancelling headphones whistled between pauses of the movie Jayden was watching on the small screen of her portable DVD player. She was catching up on the latest movies after being out of state for the past month dealing with negotiations with some exporters from South America. The beginning of talks were looking pretty shaky as usual. Her presence usually isn't acknowledge very well, but eventually they came around with a little persuasion. Being a woman of her size can be a little intimidating along with her group of bodyguards given to her by the Syndicate. Not one to use force as a means to negotiate, but when need be she knows just how to apply the right pressure.

The movie was coming to an end as she looked at the face of her watch to see how much time was left on the flight. Another half hour before touching down and another two hours before a nice shower. The humidity was not something she enjoyed out of traveling, feeling sticky and uncomfortable walking around until you reach the destination. Dreadful indeed. Jayden turned the power off on the player and tucked it away into her bag and pulled out a book to read for the remainder of the flight. Flipping through the pages to reach her dog-earred page, she picked up on the last line and proceeded to read.

-Couple hours later-

"Wonderful." Her tone was chipper and pleasant as she held her cell phone to her ear, propped up against her shoulder as her hands worked at braiding her long red hair. "I will let my bosses know.Thank you. Bye." Pressing the end button and tossing her phone on the cushioned seat next to her, Jayden tied off the end of her braid and walked into her closet to pull out her clothing. Black slacks and black blazer with a white fitted blouse. It is her typical work attire, though usually accentuated with different kinds of jewelry collected from her travels. Dressed and to give her report to the Counsel, she heads to her garage to see her escorts waiting for her with the door open. Slipping into the lush leather seats and had the door closed behind her, Jayden tapped the window to let the boys know she was ready go.

"Off to the headquarters, I have a meeting to attend to."

...a pleasure doing business with you.

Professionalism. That was John's favorite word. And he always displayed it. Today, John wore a clean pressed, fitted Italian suit. It was expensive, and it was his favorite. The jacket and pants were a charcoal black, with a red tie that had white stripes to match the white button down. His shoes were polished perfectly with a gold buckle over them. A quick draw holster sat on the right side of his hip, with three spare magazines on the left side. The weapon was loaded, eight in the mag and one in the chamber. The ammunition was hollow points for maximum effect.

As John left his two bedroom condo, he opened a can of dog food for his American pitbull terrier, Chongo. The dog was adopted at one year old and saved from animal control. Chongo was mean and incredibly defensive over John. The two had a "best friend relationship." John didn't even need to be armed with Chongo in the house. This dog was aggressive and defensive; even John knew his boundaries. "Eat up, boy," John said, accent thick with Cockney English.

The man left the house, sliding a ballistic pair of Oakley M-Frames on. He started his car; a black 2010 Chrysler 300. It was fitted with an SRT8 engine and tires with the best traction. When inside, John unlocked the car. He typed in an eight digit code on a touch screen display where the navigation would be. John started the car and slipped a cigarette in his mouth, lighting it with a black zippo. With the car in gear, he made his way to the Disarrona's estate. Thankfully, it wasn't far.

Sotto Capo
Isabella Velante

Isabella walked into a bar followed closely by her bodyguards. She scanned the bar, it was full of the usuals. She nodded her head in the direction of the booth closest to the window. They left her side to keep watch but kept their distance enough not to crowd Isabella knowing she was more than capable of looking after herself.

Isabella nodded at in greeting to the barman. A look of worry passed over his face then he nodded back. The bar was one of the many that the family used as a cover for their under the table dealings. Isabella walked towards the booth in the back. A man sat in the booth looking rather nervous. He stood when Issy approached and held out his arms,"Ah, Ms Velante, i must say i was surprised when you called,"his voice boomed as he hugged and kissed each of her cheeks.

"Marco," she greeted rather stoically, she slid into the booth,"How is business?" she asked uncaring. She tapped her nails on the table. "Business is good of course you being one of my best customers" he said loosening his tie. Her presence was making him nervous and she enjoyed it. "Good good...When is our shipment coming in?" the shipment was weapons supplied for the family and associates. Marco was their weapons dealer who claimed to be loyal to the family, however he was a private dealer which made him hard to trust.

Issy sat in silence for a long time waiting for him to answer. the large man was sweating under the collar. "the shipment will arrive next Friday as scheduled." he answered with a shaky voice. Issy nodded her head,"and...when...is the syndicates shipment coming in? I heard from a little bird that you were supplying them now too..." Issy gritted her teeth. She was none to happy by this betrayal and she had plans to make him see it.
