Ideas suggested by me, Death, Rin, Night, Alice and maybe more to come...
Quote:
Death: Well it would be about the original italian mafia fighting against the Yakuza, the japanese and we would set the rolles who the leader, underboss, hitman/assassin, strategist and so on
Quote:
Me: So...maybe have it that one kidnapped a family member of the other...
*shrugs*
So Yakuza kidnapped the daughter or niece or something like that from the leader of the Italian mafia.
And in order for them to get back at the Yakuza they, in return, kidnap the son of the leader of the Yakuza.
*shrugs*
You can throw that idea out if you don't like it.

Death: no its good
Quote:
Me: Ok so to go off of that...
Lets see...
Are they in the same town/state?
Or are they living in Italy/Japan?
If I know that I might be able to make a story behind it...
And then I could maybe send it to you...

Death: They are all in america (neutral teritory)
Quote:
Me: Living in different states?
Maybe say Cali and NY?
opposite sites of the US, giving them enough room/space...
Maybe the daughter/niece decided to go to school in the Yakuza territory and thats how she got kidnapped...
*shrugs*
((I'm going to be playing the daughter...
Romance if wanted but not on my part...))

Alice: I'm not sure I'm the best at this. I always think my ideas suck.
Ummmm, lets see. I'm not sure how the mafia and yakuza work. I'm guessing though that they would tell the Mafia about the kidnapping, offering her return in exchange for money, info maybe? They have to do it within a certain amount of time or else the daughter dies. But whatever it is, the Don isn't willing to give. So he sends out his agents to kidnap the Yakuza son that happens to be going to college in New York city. Thus they start an all out war between the two groups because niether is willing to return the kidnapped person unless they get something in return.
I know...it sucks! DX

Night: i have a question how did the yakuza know she was the Don's daughter?
Quote:
Me: Thats what I need to figure out as well lol...
Hmm...Maybe there was a picture of her in the school news paper and being the Yakuza that have pictures of all of the Don's family and the Don? Or one of the Don's employees turns traitor and tells Yakuza who she is and where she can be found.

Quote:
Night: like the Don secretly sends some one the watch her and the yakuza catch him and tortures him to tell them why he was there
Quote:
Me: that or the guy actually does turn traitor...
Like he doesn't want to work for the Don anymore so go to the Yakuza...

Rin: That's a good story, but it can be improved..
Like the don really did send someone to look after her, but not closey.. More along the lines of someone who she's never met within the mafia and posses as a normal high schooler.
Then as the daughter goes out a night to grab something at the store or forgot something at the school she runs into a gang of yakuza. They try to get her to come with her and then she blurts out that shes the daughter of mafia and they freeze except the leader who gets an idea to keep her hostage, but then many pages later falls in love with her or something...
But that would sound super awsome!
I wanna join now. XD

Dheer: Okay well why did the Yakuza kidnap her? I think they'd need a pretty good reason. I get the feeling that both families are power houses so such an incident could start an all out war.
Also would this be something like a 5 five girl five guy sort of setup?
Is there some long standing feud between the two? Or are they allies? Or do they hardly interact at all?
What kind of gangs are they? Drugs? Prostitution? Human trafficking? Murder? Etc. How widespread is each gang? How do they interact with other gangs in their territories? Are other gangs going to be involved?
Is it going to be set in Los Angeles since it is the gang capital of the world? (according to wiki)
I would suggest Chicago over New York mostly according to wiki Chicago actually has a higher rate of gang membership per capita than Los Angeles and the state of Illinois has a higher rate of gang membership (8-11 gang members per 1,000 population) than California (5-7 gang members per 1,000 population).

Desmond: Well. For one thing, a New York Mafia Don wouldn't just go after the Los Angeles sect of Yakuza over a girl, even if it was his daughter. Both the American Mafia and the Yakuza are known for one thing. Organized crime, mostly drug trafficking and arms trafficking. Best way for one to piss off the other is hit him where it hurts most....their wallets.
Quote:
Desmond: Well....I'd suggest some sort of "drug war" situation. You know....fighting over profits.
Quote:
Me: What about it started out as them trying to expand their territory so they send a group to go to NY to try and take over some of the businesses...And then to try and get control they also kidnap the daughter?
Quote:
Kraft: The long distance things won't usually work :/ .
I would suggest changing the story into...
Yukuza , aka little Japan and Mafia aka Little Italy, are feudsing over city blocks to build new sects over. This has been happening for years now, so most of new york is now either italian or japanese in nature/origin.
The mafia boss' daughter goes to school, but the ones she wants to attend is in the "bad" side of town ; the japanese side. Even though most members are diverse, the Japanese still rule the roost. She refuses bodyguards and gets into trouble. A young man saves her, they fall in love, not knowing eachothers family because neither will admit to owning a 'family' that bathes in blood. Their secret is safe until a knowlegable tutor, either his or hers, visits the "family" house. Thus a misunderstanding that the boyfriend/girlfriend is being kidnapped by the opposing side, probably japanese in this case, seems to fit better, and the feud becomes a war.
The mafias seperate the lovers who come together on their own to elope. Enter a third party here, either benevolent or not, this one seeks their own ends and wishes the two sides to kill each other while the lovers fight to get them to stop. ((said by me: like the idea minus the romance on my part))
Thats all i got thus far. but theres a nice outline >W<

Me: The daughter to the Italian Mafia (played by me) will be kidnapped by the Yakuza that is all I know that I want for a fact... ((there will be romance but not on my part...husband isn't comfortable with me playing any romance...))
I really like this idea... What about it started out as them trying to expand their territory so they send a group to go to NY to try and take over some of the businesses...And then to try and get control they also kidnap the daughter?
The daughter will be going to college when she gets kidnapped...
I do like Kraft's idea but I would have to get rid of the romance in it...
I also agree that maybe we shouldn't have the two families in different states or if they are in different states they should be closer..
Like New York and New Jersey...
Here is links to show the crime rate in those two states...
New Jersey & New York
Maybe have them fighting over the border that connects them...

Bitter: hmmm... i don't know. they really are all good ideas. let's see. i say that she should be kidnapped, but there isn't a reason why. She is used as leverage. the Don has a spy in yakuza ranks, so the yakuza is using her and their own spy in the Don's ranks to get him to yank his spy. turns out that the spy is the Don's daughter, and he would really like to get her back so that he can keep his precious little spy, and in addition, she also knows the traitor in the Don's ranks. >.<' i dunno if you likle that, but its what i would do.
Quote:
Bitter: When the Don was sure she was going to be fine on her own, he sent his daughter to California to spy on the Yakuza. She was there all through highschool, living with a distant aunt. When she started to go to college, and she moved into her own apartment, the Yakuza definitely started to take notice in her. While at her aunt's house, she hadn't been so noticeable, but now she was. Meanwhile, the Yakuza themselves had a spy in the Don's ranks, but due to his daughter's skills, he already knew who it was. So he did well to misinform the spy, thus giving the Yakuza no information to go on. But now the Yakuza have figured out that she is the Don's daughter, and they have kidnapped her. While the Don tries to get his spy freed, the Yakuza treat her like a princess. She still spies on them, still supplies dear old Daddy Don with information, more than before. He realizes that where she is is perfect, but the Yakuza are still none the wiser. The Don still goes through the motions of trying to free her, giving her time to gather more information, knowing that when the time comes he will be able to get her free in a snap. But for now, she stays... This is her story... How will you treat her, and will you figure out her secret? Or will she remain as mysterious to you as she is to her captors? ((said by me: like the idea, but instead of her going to hs have her move in with her aunt for a few months until she is able to get a job and get her own appartment))

Nerevar Telvanni: A gang RP, not really my thing, sorry. Desmonds idea has merit, hit there where it hurts wallets. You could have one side I would say the Mafia trying to push its way into Yakuza space, and have the Yakuza strike back. That would make kidnapping the Dons daughter more believable. You should look more into both gangs to learn how they work.
Quote:
Me: Ok so what I know so far in my head is that the daughter of the Italian Mafia (me) gets kidnapped by the Yakuza (not 100% sure why and things like that). I want them to be fighting over territory, maybe that is how/why she gets kidnapped. She goes to school in NJ (Home of the Yakuza). They are fighting over the border territory that connects NY to NJ. There is a spy in the Don's ranks that is supplying the Yakuza with info. The spy ends up choosing to switch from Italian to Yakuza for whatever reason. The Underboss (played by Death) of the Italian Mafia is sent to get the Don's daughter back after many failed attempts. It took the Don months to learn his daughter had been kidnapped after he heard from one of his men that he sent to watch over her without her noticing. The man told the Don that she hadn't been showing up for classes (this person is not fully in the rank's of the Don's family so his daughter doesn't know him. he is pretending to be a fellow student).
Quote:
Death: well seeing as Geppeto is going to go and save her maybe you should add that Geppeto was her personal bodyguard all tho still being the Underboss, or llooking at it like a family, Geppeto is the Dons brother making him her uncle or something like that
Quote:
Me: Maybe both?
Maybe say that when the Don first finds out that I'm missing he has you send out people to try and get me back but they all fail for whatever reason...so then the Don personally asks you to go get me?
*shrugs*
