Running from the Law ((Letting it Die... and Collect Dust))

[RisTesla]

It's 1920 and Prohibition's been in affect for a year now, and the entire United States is dry. Moonshiners, people who brew their own booze, have popped up and are making money off their illegal shine.

It's sunny San Diego, California, Cortez Hill, next to Balboa Park, has a great view of the Bay. There's a few normal houses on Cortez Hill, they're spread out, there's the John Ginty house and the Mayfair, the two largest on the very top of the Hill.

John Ginty owns both houses, one his family lives in, the other houses his secret double life, the Mayfair is a whorehouse. In the basement there's a speakeasy, where shipments of illegal shine, and beer come in every day. Flappers and young men in Zoot Suits frequent the speakeasy at night.

John Ginty and his wife, Margaret Jean have one daughter, Doris Ruth. Doris Ruth is now old enough to realize that her father's up to something suspicious, and wonders how he can afford so much luxurious things with his part time job at the factory downtown. She follows him one night to the Mayfair, she threatens to tell her mother, but John struck up a deal. She can come with him whenever she wants to.

Doris Ruth has now entered her father's business, helping him tend the bar in the basement. She's only been upstairs in the whorehouse a couple times, she has no business there. Working there has helped her create a group of close businessmen. There's the Rum Runner, who ships all the booze to them in the early mornings, two other bartenders, the doorman who makes the password different every night so as not to get any 'Pigs' inside, and the speakeazie's customer who's there every night.

Inside the speakeasy, it's weapon free, the doorman checks everyone at the door, so that there will be no high profile killings to give away the location of the speakeasy.

The doorman has reported to her that there's been a few 'pigs' hanging around outside. He thinks there must be someone inside giving information to the police. Doris Ruth didn't believe him at first until one night a couple of them stopped her and asked her where she was headed. She pulled it off by saying she wasn't paying attention to where she was going and meant to go home, which is right on the corner of the next street.

She needs to find out who the snitch is and put him away for good, who could it be?

Rum Runners:

Gaian Name: Master Strategist Kess
Name: Joe Digger
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Description: Joe is a skinny guy who wears a white button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He also wears a stylish black hat, black suspenders, black slacks, and black shoes. He almost always has a cigarette or toothpick in his mouth. He leans back a little, making him seem shorter than the tall, lanky man he is. He has dark hair and eyes, and a pale complexion.
Background: Joe was originally Joseph McReynalds, the son of two Irish immigrants whom made their way to Boston. His dad muscled his way into the police force, while his mom stayed home and took care of the small army she popped out. His dad taught him to keep an eye on the Irish, and to defend them before anyone else. Joseph found out about the underworld at a young age, and soon got into bootlegging. His dad supported this, and made sure the cops were looking the other way whenever he did decide to smuggle.

Eventually the cops started investigating Joseph a little too closely, and he decided to leave the family and go to California, where he could be away from the Boston cops. Joe changed his name, and found a nice niche in San Diego where he wasn't asked many questions. He continued to bootleg for whoever paid him well enough, and generally he keeps a good ear to the docks for anything interesting coming in. He has an interest in brokering deals for such contraband, especially selling such information to those who will pay well, when he dislikes the person the shipment is coming in for.
Personality: Joe is quiet and smug. He knows he's good, and this could be arrogance, except for he proves it. He rarely talks, so truthfully he only has his reputation to speak for him. Now he helps with the Ruth family, specifically keeping tabs on Doris. He enjoys watching the kid, treating her as a daughter of his own from time to time, and taking her on smuggling runs to show her the ropes. Aside from Doris and those who pay him, he generally says little to nothing to them, for he's a man of very few words.

Name: William "Billy" Cooper
Age(nothing under 17): 25
Gender: Male
Description (no pictures please): A 6'4" blonde with green eyes. His hair is usually slicked back and is very stiff. Will favors the three-piece suit since it shows off his athletic body very well. Colors range from gray to tweed, but he likes gray more. Always trying to look his best for his customers in case someone important comes in. His favorite items are his shoes; a patent black and white leather combination. He has a toned, athletic build from when he was a bartender (and doubled as a 'bouncer') in his old bar. After all, drunks are hard to deal with.
Background: His family had been in the alcohol business for generations, stemming from Ireland. So when prohibition kicked in, of course, the business shut down. William's older brother had inherited the bar and William was the bartend when their father died and it was barely open a year before it shut down. Refusing to let his family's legacy go to shame, he continued to bartend even after his brother quit. Eventually, his services ended up in the Mayfair. He has become quite popular since he is very attractive. While he doesn't have a lot of money, his lady-callers take care of his needs.
Personality: He respects all the women in the Mayfair. The men... are a different story. He's very friendly (and flirty to the women) so most everyone likes him. He's not afraid to get serious, however, when a customer gets out of hand. While it might not be his job to take care of those people, he still feels he has the responsibility as the bartender. When some of the girls aren't getting attention upstairs and need the money, he has a habit of buying them for the night and then just talking.
