 This is Gino Gambino.Long story slightly longer, Gino Gambino is the son of the late Johnny K. Gambino, "Man of the Century," and his wife, the beautiful and kind Rosalie. Though Johnny said himself that, after he was gone, history will remember him for only one thing: siring Gino Gambino, history's greatest man. He's also the half-brother of (Dam)Ian and Louie Von Helson on his mother's side. Though Johnny wasn't completely correct in saying that he would only be remembered for his son's accomplishments, Gino is well on his way to being history's greatest man indeed. Most recently, he was able to save all of Gaia from the threat of Nyx. He's finally sailing home and the future has never looked brighter for him. (and what a perfect time for the harem to regroup amirite?) The next post down will be a direct quote of his early history from the original Gino's Harem thread, and the one following after will be my picking up where Rychi left off. Let's get started!

Rychi Gino Gambino TimelineFollow the entire storyline in manga form here!The First Gaian Anniversary Ball:
Here, we are first introduced to Gino, the son of "Gaia's Most Powerful Man." When you first entered the ball, you were greeted by Gino and given party favors.The Second Gaian Annual Ball:
At this user-run event, Gino occasionally would drop by, giving out G-Pins. He basically tells you to keep it on the downlow that he's handing out these pins, as it seems that he should not have been doing so.First Gaia Olypmics:
Gino took part in the race.
This is where perhaps that the rumors of Gambino abusing Gino started (Comments such as not letting him eat at the table were mentioned, as well as forcing him to cheat through the Reclamation Facilty.) (Did Gambino really abuse Gino?)
Gino won fifth place.During the Halloween Bash:
It was a "Birthday" party being held for Gino, but noting he wasn't around much at all...
Gino's Birthday is in May.
After the explosion when Gambino lost everything, Gino had disappeared.During the Christmas event:
Gino found his father at the Durem Reclamation facility before Gambino was going to jump.
He has no memory of his father, but resided with him for the time being.
Gambino`s Christmas JournalSecond Gaian Anniversary Ball:
Gino was seen with his father during the ball.
Gino was taken hostage by the Von Helson Sisters
Was Later returned to his father.April 1st 2005:
Gino has regained his memory!
(He seemed to be happy and rushed to his father)
His father had been shot, casting him off from the tower to the sea!
The Tower of Gambino collapsed, presumably taking Gino along at the top with it.Coverage:

Invitation
Unfortunately, there were no plot updates on that day. But there were people celebrating in honor of Gino's birthday!
spencer- kun, C.M.O.G. and I held a birthday party especially for him. It was in a private guild created just for the occasion. Over 300 people signed up to attend! It was quite a party!
Although it was quite festive, it wasn't the same without the boy we were celebrating for. It was a shame Gino couldn't attend, but it would have been a shock if he did!GINO RETURNS!
A special picture released at a convention hinted the return of Gino after three long months of his absence:
Wow!
What a change! Not ONLY does Gino look his age, he's...well...BISHOUNEN! Wow! This picture was taken at Anime Expo.August 5, 2005: The Much Anticipated Summer Update! (Gino Truly Returns!)
After months upon months of waiting, we finally have been given the much sought-after update that had us buzzing around for quite some time.
The first pushes toward the plot update was around July 22nd, when the dialogues for Ian and Sasha changed. Ian talked about how he had been daydreaming a lot lately, and wanted to take Sasha out hunting for seashells. While Sasha said Ian had been coming over a lot and mentioned that she thought seashell hunting sounded "like fun!"
August 5 - Off to Isle De Gambino! There, you saw the little sprites of Ian and Sasha by the beach.

In the last update, we were introduced to a new character, Bucho, who is head of security at Gambino Mansion.
Instead of Gino making the announcement that the mansion will be opened for the Halloween party, Bucho did.
Once you got to the mansion, you were told by Bucho that Gino had prior plans that night. If you wanted to see what he was up to, you would click on "View Storyline Direct Feed" and you would be given a manga!

What a way to start the new year! heart *uber glomp for admins* heart heart We lovest thee!Trial of Ian Started on January 18, 2006
In the first time EVAR, the admins have left it to the Gaian population to decide whether Ian was GUILTY or INNOCENT to the charges of him setting the Gambino Isle Mansion on fire!
For three days, a handful of NPC's (including Gino) testified for the case. Cindy Donovinh was there at the Durem courthouse reporting the trial.
Unfortunately, we have no links, pictures, or any other forms of archived information about this as the forum that held the trial no longer exists.
The voting took place for five days starting on Satuday, January 21 and lasted to Wednesday 25, 2006.The Gift - Valentine's Day Update! February 14, 2006
In the update before this, Ian was declared innocent and shortly was shot by the sniper.

Gaia Anniversary Ball 2k6 February 18, 2006
So, in honor of Gaia's birthday, Gino opened up the Gambino mansion in Durem for all of Gaia. Hooray! On the front page of Gaia, this banner was displayed:
When you went into the mansion, you were probably greeted by either Gino, or any of the members of the G-Team (Edmund, Logan, and Leon). You could get items from any one of them should you happen to come across them. The G-team handed out G Glasses of Pink, Blue, and Yellow. Gino handed out G Buckles!
Here's Gino! He got a new avatar!
Gino greets you.
Quotes from Gino (Some of them don't have Gino's Avatar because of the massive glitching during the ball resulting in his avatar either switching or just plain disappearing!):
Gino: Welcome to the Gambino family mansion! This may not be the original mansion, but it is an exact replica.
Gino: Labtech 123 ... I can't believe he is gone. He was a great help to me and my father while he was still alive.
Gino: Yeah, this hair takes forever to dry after a shower...
Gino: If you see Sasha, please let her know that I am looking for her.
Gino: The Masque? Who's that? ... Ok, you got me. I suppose that was really too obvious.
Gino: I hope you are enjoying yourself. Please make yourself at home.
Gino: Please don't ask me about where I was for the past year. I'm not so sure I could explain it myself. [glitched avatar]
Gino: Sasha ... I wonder where she could be. [glitched avatar]
Gino: My father's riches allow me to give to others who are in need.
Gino: The Von Helsons? Who are they?
And quotes that have mention of Gino:
Edmund: Master Gino has entrusted the G TEAM with the task of handing out gifts this year, looks like it is your lucky day.
Old Man Logan: That Gino is da spittin' image of his dad, Johnny K.April Fool's 2k6

Before Halloween, aliens have been showing up, along with a strange new character named Ron Bruise. There was a whole lot of user interaction in this event with Ron Bruise and new NPC aliens. Someone asked Ron Bruise if he ever met any of the Gambinos, and according to him, he's met all of the Gambinos! So, does that mean he's met Gino, too? Or is it some other Gambino family?
Anyway, enough summarizing, here's the manga event from Halloween 2k6!

In the update previous to this one, it was revealed that Edmund and Gambino are currently working on a project of their own. Ian had been staying inside the Gambino mansion as a safety precaution after being attacked by the sniper, since he is linked with a top-secret project of G-Corp. Gambino, Edmund, and Ian left the Gambino mansion to a shelter, leaving as to where Gino would be a complete mystery, which is soon answered in this manga update.
...Boy, does Gambino sure deserve the Parent of the Year Award.

A new event! Gaia prom! It was a new event in which users could play new games and mingle with fellow users, prom-style. Gino was in the prom comic, wanting to ask Sasha to go with him, and taking Liam's advice on it.

The Gaia Rejected was a big event that featured new NPC's, new games, and a comic for each city representing a separate side.
No mention of Gino in the comics, but there was a sit-up game that featured him! In an attempt to build up muscle like Liam, you had to mash two keys back and forth to make Gino sit up as fast as possible. The game also had some cute sound effects! When you completed the game, you got to see Gino posing for you in a sad example of a flex, haha:
Shirtless? We're not complaining.Valentine's Day! 2k9
A very special Valentine's Update full of Gino! Where Liam and Gino go forth in search of dates...

Valentine's Day 2k9As well as being able to read up on what our favorite NPCs were up to, we were also able to send them Mad-Lib-style Valentines. Most of them had some sort of guideline dictating who they would accept valentines from and who'd get one in return. Gino would only accept valentines from users with 15k gold or less (which, as of this posting, will maybe land you a house fly. The times they are a-changin').
Summer 2k9: Camp ChaosGino becomes one of the Rich Camp Counselors. Unfortunately, he teams up with the Von Helson sisters in order to do so. But this is after they've been relieved of their bloodthirst by Liam's Gun Show, so they're pretty harmless. Halloween 2k9: DemonbustersWelcome to the mother of all Gaia manga arcs. Demonbusters was the official beginning of the 8-year-long Airship Saga, which has only begun to wrap up with Gino's defeat of Nyx. Spoiler alert. Demonbusters introduced Gaia to Sentinel and Overseer, two demigods who would eventually lead Gino to find out the truth of his ancestry. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. At the moment, Gino was temporarily used as a vessel for the Overseer. It was almost as glorious as the light censoring his crotch. Not to worry, Gino was let go soon enough. Though there were some consequences.
Christmas 2k9Gino's an a*****e. But we still love him. Shortly after the event Sen and Overseer find Gino has stowed away on their fancy new airship. Having no home (Johnny having never invited him back after keeping him away for safety's sake and Liam having thrown him out after the whole naked thing which is totally not something to throw someone out over) and needing a change of scenery (we've all been there), Sen and Overseer let him tag along and act as navigator. The adventure begins. March 5th, 2k10Johnny K. Gambino is assassinated by Zhivago. It'll be a while before Gino finds out.
April - August, 2k10Diedrich is introduced during April Fool's and the Easter event. Has nothing to do with Gino but I love him. Then again, he did rise from Johnny's ashes, so who's to say? Nothing has been revealed about that yet though. [EDIT] Uh...Gino's adventure continues and he gets a makeover. He learns that he can't access his funds nor can he contact his father, but he doesn't seem to think much of it. Meanwhile, Edmund begins his hunt for Gino.
Summer 2k10: Frontier Skies
With Brennivin's help, Edmund takes to the skies. The parallel event involves them and all of Gaia saving the jellyfish demigod of spoilage. Awesome.
Fall 2k10 - TodayAfter Frontier Skies the manga diverted from the events, so I'm not too sure on a timeline. But, in order... Gino was revealed to be missing on Gaia.Gino met Meili.Gino and Edmund reunited (and Meili died).Gino finally learned that Johnny was killed.(For those unsure, Johnny left Gino literally everything)Gino made a giant terrifying friend.Gino met the goddess Gaia.Gino and co. learned about the titans and the demigods, mainly that he's a descendant of Ambition.Johnny's an a*****e.In a fit of rage over his stupid dad (jk we love all gambinos here) Gino gets his mane back.Gino gets the first punch in against Nyx.My bad I forgot about the Crowdsourcing event.Gino speaks with both of his parents.Gino kicks a** and takes names (but just Nyx's).Finally, our hero triumphs.Gino donates most of his inheritance, turns the Gambino mansion into a history museum, and sets off on a new adventure. And that's all for now! (MASSIVE thanks to `Hydro and their thread The Plotline and Events of Gaia: A Summary))
