Name: Johnny K. Gambino
Birthday: Unknown
First Appeared: February 18th 2004, The First Gaian Anniversary Ball.
Worked For G-Corp: Since the beginning
G-Corp Level: Top Boss
Details: Little is known about Johnny. He claims to be the Most Powerful Man in Gaia, and apparently pays the administrators to run the site (how they are getting paid now that he is missing, I have no idea). In the past he had commented on the Olympic events and ran the official balls (except for the 2nd Anniversary and 3rd Annual balls, due to an event which will be explained soon). He has one son named Gino, with whom his relationship, over the years, until Halloween of 2004, was a bit cold. After his 'plans for a better world' backfired, his mansion on the Isle de Gambino was destroyed by a missile sent to rid of an uncontrollable infestation of zombies. He spent 3 months in the wreckage, comtemplating his loss...

In December of 2004, he decided to make his own miracle, and set off to find his lost son Gino. Upon discoving the boy, it was discovered that all his memories were wiped out, probably by hitting his head on something hard after being blown out of the mansion. In any case, after this whole fiasco, Johnny learned that there are some things more important than money. But, you know, we all make mistakes now and then.

During the Second Anniversary Ball of 2005, Gino was kidnapped by the Von Helson sisters, a pair of twins who owned a mansion in Durem, and hoped to one day overtake the Gambinos as the most powerful people in GAIA. In order to have Gino back, they said, he must never come to Durem again, and thus, never participate in a Gaian event again (as long as his mansion stayed in rubble). Johnny agreed, for his son.

A few weeks later, he began asking for donations from the public to help rebuild his mansion. As it turned out, he got so many donations he was able to build a huge, huge tower where his old mansion used to be, with a model of the old mansion at the tippy-top. He then went inside, locked his doors, and rested for a week or so, furnishing and whatnot.

The Von Helsons were outraged, and so, they began selling Anti-Gambino picket signs for 500 gold each. This went on for about a week until Gambino caught on to what they were doing, came outside on the top of the tower, and began selling pickets for 1000 gold each -- but if you had donated when he was poor and needed help, he gave you one for free. He was really quite eccentric with it, yelling about the power within him and surging with excitement. This worried some people, because it seemed he'd gone crazy with power. Really he was just kind of thrilled. Like, 'MAN, THIS IS SWEET!'

Then, on April 1st, 2005, Gino stepped out on the top of the mansion himself, saw his father the way he was, and immediately remembered him and his past. He cried out to his father, who turned around, and began running towards his son, ecstatic that he'd regained his memory.

At that moment, a sniper in Durem shot Johnny down. He fell off the tower to the depths below. As he fell, his tower fell with him -- in the direction of the Von Helson tower. The tip-top of the tower hit their mansion just as they were talking about their apparent victory of GAIA's loyalty. Dust swept up, and did not settle for a long time. When it did, a surprise was found. There were two Gambino mansions! The one from the top had somehow landed on the VH mansion, and in some odd twist of events there was another one at the bottom of Gambino's tower? Weirded out.

It seemed as though this would be the last for Johnny, but a full year later it was discovered that he had been combined with Gino through the infamous G-virus. He and Gino were separated by LabtechX, and he is now living in full health and is still top-notch at negotiations, as we see with the Zurg.

Johnny is currently discussing energy drink retail technique with Mother, the leader of the Zurg aliens. By the way... RED BINO 4 LYF! rofl heart

Name: Gino Gambino
Birthday May 13, 1988
First Appeared: February 18th 2004, The First Gaian Anniversary Ball.
Details: Gino was first seen when he was giving out G-Pins to the Gaian public during the First Annual Gaia Ball. He next made an appearance at the Olympics, But failed miserably due to malnourishment and a lack of training. He was feared to be dead after Halloween of 2004 (due to the explosion of the Gambino mansion).

A few months later, Christmas of 2004, he saved his dad from commiting suicide, only to be found that by the general public that he had lost all his memories.

During the Second Anniversary Ball of 2005, he was kidnapped by the Von Helson sisters, a pair of twins who owned a mansion in Durem, and hoped to one day overtake Gambino as the most powerful people in GAIA. In order for Johnny to have Gino back, they said, he must never come to Durem again, and thus, never participate in a Gaian event again (as long as his mansion stayed in rubble). Johnny agreed, to save Gino.

None was seen of Johnny's son for a very long time. Then, on April 1st, 2005, Gino stepped out on the top of the mansion, saw his father freaking out, and immediately remembered him and their past together. He cried out to his father, who turned around, and began running towards his son, ecstatic that he'd regained his memory.

At that moment, a sniper in Durem shot Johnny down. He fell off the tower to the depths below. As he fell, his tower fell with him -- in the direction of the Von Helson tower. The tip-top of the tower hit their mansion just as they were talking about their apparent victory of GAIA's loyalty. Dust swept up, and did not settle for a long time. When it did, a surprise was found. There were two Gambino mansions! The one from the top had somehow landed on the VH mansion, and in some odd twist of events there was another one at the bottom of Gambino's tower? Weirded out.

Then, on August Fifth of 2005, Gino washed up on shore. Sasha and Ian happened to be going shell searching at the time, and Sasha, off by herself, spotted Gino first. She gave him mouth to mouth as he was unconscious. Ian stumbled upon this, thought it was something dirty, and Sasha told him off. They brought him to Sasha's house, hoping to heal him, if possible.

A few days later, Ian freaked out a bit, chopping the bread kind of hard. He and Sasha brought in lunch for Gino as Doctor 123 (aka Labtech 123) analyzed his patient. It was determined that Gino could leave soon, so Bucho picked him up and brought him home. Gino, feeling empty and all alone in that big old mansion without his father, stood on the balcony and sighed to himself. Would he be able to take up his father's duties all alone?

A few weeks later, the Friday before Halloween, he did not feel any better. He was lost and confused, and oh so worried. He was however back at home, and felt as though he had to repay Sasha for saving his life and nursing him back to health. He invited her to dinner on the night of Halloween, a decision that would prove... not very good.

That night, the underground testing facility (now not secret any more), caught on fire, due to rampant green rabbits (aka 'grunnies') running wild, set free by Labtech X.* The fire spread to the mansion, where Sasha and Gino were dying. They were trapped, scared and trapped. Gino, playing the hero, attempted to lead Sasha to safety. But the moment right before they were out, a beam from the ceiling fell down on top of them. Gino, pushed by adrenaline, caught the beam with one arm. Sasha was dumbstruck, she asked him why. He said, "You saved me once... now it's my turn." Ian, who apparently had 'evidence proving the Gambinos were up to no good' in the form of some sort of bottle of pills, was going to expose this proof, the spaz that he was, but when he saw the trouble Sasha was in, he backed down. Gino asked Ian to get Sasha out. Thus, Gino was stuck, alone, unable to escape for himself, or so it seems.

Once again, the mansion was destroyed... with Gino inside of it.

Rather soon after that, a new hero appeared in Gaia going under the name of The Masque. He stopped a fight between Jack and Santa and saved Sasha's life. He later held a Masquerade ball in the Gambinos' mansion in Durem, where he revealed himself to be Gino and kissed Sasha.

This Gino, however, was incredibly unlike the Gino we had known before. He was arrogant, conniving and had freakishly long hair. He slowly grew obsessive about Sasha and called Ian out for a deathmatch. This fight (which was incredibly short lived) was interrupted by none other than LabtechX, who injected Gino with something that caused his genetic stability to deteriorate. Thus, one of the many theories about this new Johnny-fied Gino was proved -- Johnny and Gino had been combined on that fateful April Fool's day one year past! Gino leaped after Johnny, and since Johnny had been taking G-Virus to increase his strength and stamina, the G-Virus enveloped Gino and infused him with Johnny to keep him alive.

Both Gambinos had returned and were back to normal! HUZZAH!

Gino is now very confused about his feelings for Sasha. Were they his own, or were they prompted by the Johnny in him? Where does he go from here? He is sad and lonely. But he shouldn't worry, the GSTers are here to keep his spirits up! heart


*Note: this plot update was much more complicated and crazy, but I'm just doing an overview here.

If you've noticed, I've expanded the mansion so that we could fit more people in here. If you find Gino, he can give you the tour. Please feel free to wander about, but erm, just don't um snoop. It's rude. Seriously.

Happy Halloween!!

Gambino
NOW NOW NOW, I won't have any of that at MY PARTY! HO HO HO!!


Thread: Sorry about that... FALSE ALARM...:

Gambino
You guys are getting a little too rowdy in there... apparently someone triggered the fire alarm...

LabTech062's Retirement Party Thread
:

Gambino
- Thanks for joining us here today. I'd like to say a few words about LabTech 062. Labtech062 has been working with me for the past 30 years. His dedication and loyalty to this company has been invaluable. We are gathered here today to honor his achievements. He has truly made a difference at G Corp.

Remember G Corp's motto. "Making a difference."

Here's to LabTech062!! HIP HIP HURRAY!!

- um.... thanks for coming... I'll just be on my way...

*sneaks off*


Thread:
GAMBINO HAS ARRIVED...
:

Gambino
- I must say this place is pretty nice... *sigh*

If only I had my mansion, I would be throwing this event myself...

- Why hello there young miss. Are you enjoying yourself? I must say that you'd be having much more fun if I were throwing the party.

- Actually... Gino... well.. look at him... he's lost his soul it seems. He does not even remember his own father. I don't know what to do with him anymore...

But all of you... thank you for your kind words. It really lightens my heart.

- Well, since the Isle of Gambino Insurance company was located in my mansion, it was destroyed along with my mansion. I really have nothing left...

As for these Von Helson sisters... BAH!! I knew their father. Count Vladimir Von Helson was a great man. If he knew what his daughters were up to, he'd be rolling in his grave.

- YOU ALL ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

Rather than spend time wallowing in self pity I shall work to regain my POWER! If anything, I'll do it for Gino! His poor soul...

Who's with me!?

- YES YES... these Von Helson sisters cannot be good for GAIA. I'll tell you what... I may have some small trinkets left over from last year's festivities. I'll try and get them to you if I can. But it's a long way back to Gambino Isle from here...

Let me see what I can do though.

- NOW NOW, please...everyone save your gold and donations. I've figured out a plan to regain my power. But it will take some time, perhaps even a fortnight or two.

Please save your donations for now. I will let you know when it is the time for action. For now, let's just spread my name. Let it be heard round all of GAIA in its former glory!

- THAT'S IT MY FELLOW GAIANS!!! I CAN FEEL THE POWER IN THE AIR!!! GAMBINO!!!!!

- (In response to Kidara's post here.)
I'm sorry dear Kidara... I already have a son of my own that I need to take care of. However, I respect that you would like to bear the child of royalty. And for that, I hug you. *hugs*

Gambino
- BWaaaHAAAHAAAA!! See if those lousy Von Helson Sisters can stop me!!! My Fellow GAIANS!! BAND TOGETHER AND REVIVE THE NAME GAMBINO!!!

- This reminds me of my younger years when I first came to Gambino Isle without a single penny in my pocket. I was rash and ambitious and I MADE something of myself out of nothing! I can feel that same energy in this room today!!

FELLOW GAIANS rejoice!! We will be victorious!!! I am determined to regain my former glory for GINO! GINO!!!!!!

Gambino
- What do you mean? GINO?!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY SON!!

- M-my...fault...

DARN YOU VON HELSONS!! What must I do to get back my son?

- B-but....that would mean...

- ...

- But what would my fellow Gaians think? Can I just abandon their support of me? And yet, Gino... my son, my reason for doing all of this to begin with...

- Fine. I've decided. I will leave and never return to Durem.

- Von Helsons... mark my words. I may not return to Durem, but you shall hear the name GAMBINO again!



Gino
Welcome to the First Annual Celebration of Gaia... My father, Gambino, put me in charge of handing out party favors. Please make yourself at home, perhaps my dad will grace you with his presence later on this evening.


Gambino
HAHAAHAAA! YES, IT'S ME, JOHNNY GAMBINO!
Who did you expect would be in charge of organizing the most important event in the history of GAIA? Why, ME, of course! Here, have some gold and enjoy the rest of the festivities! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have other guests to attend to. BWAAHAAHAAA!!!!

Gino
Here, take this. Don't ask me where I got it from.

((Note: Gino giving out G-Pins at the Second Annual GAIA ball.))


Gambino
Why would you want a V-Pin when you can have this lovely G-Pin instead?


Gambino
Darn it! ?They are on to me... pardon me while I make my way through the crowd.


Gambino
Wear your G-Pin proudly. Do it for Gino and I.


Gambino
Wear your G-Pin, support Gino and I-- gotta run, bye!


Gambino
Have these girls no respect for their elders?


Gambino
For all their riches, these girls lack the prowess to weild it properly.


Gambino
Look at my son. Look at what he's become. I must regain my power to right this tragedy.


Gambino
I WILL NOT BE SILENCED!! Spread the Gambino name and help restore it to it's former glory!


Gambino
-If you have a few minutes, I'd like to see if you could help me out.

-You see... a terrible accident has reduced me to nothing. You may have heard about it, it was quite tragic.

-I lost my fortune, my mansion, and my son Gino lost his memory crying .

-I need a fresh beginning, a new start.

-If you could find it in your heart to donate some gold to me, I could get that new start!

-All you have to do is enter an amount of gold and it will be put towards my mansion rebuilding project.

[NO!]

-... Well, okay then. *ahem* Thanks anyway. If you happen to change your mind, you know were to find me.

Welcome to the GAIA Anniversary Ball 2k6!

Gino
Dear guests,

I would like to welcome you to the Gambino Mansion on behalf of my late father, Johnny K. Gambino.

While my father was alive, he accomplished many a great thing. He was a great man who was larger than life. He was a connoiseur of all the finer things in life. He lived like no other before him. He was, in fact, the most powerful man in all of Gaia.

Today, I would like for all of us to have a moment of silence to pay respects to the memory of my father. Without him, none of this would be possible.

Thank you all for joining me this year in celebration of all that is good -- GAIA, the mother earth, the annex of interaction and friendship, may your spirit continue to grow and bring joy to every soul which inhabits you.

HIP HIP HOORAY!!


Thread:
The Halloween Party has been extended to Saturday!

Gambino
BWAHAHAHA, GAIANS! That was a raucous shindig indeed! It was fun while it lasted, but it's almost time for me to throw everyone out! Things got so crazy that I'm going to give you an extra night to find a couch and sleep it off. But after that, you'll have to grab your coats, say your goodbyes, tip one last cow, and get the heck out! If you're not outta here by 11PM, PST on Saturday, I'm going to kick you out myself. And it won't be pretty!

Those crazy Zurg sure know how to have a good time! They were real party animals: probing guests, pestering the livestock, crackin' wise and just plain blowing the roof off the place. Literally!

The one who calls herself "Mother" (or himself... who the heck can tell?) is a real classy lady! Or man! Or whatever! Anyway, we had a grand old time talking about the soft drink business. She's got some big ideas-- not just about energy drinks, but about EVERYTHING!

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what she has in store!


If I am missing any quotes, please PM me with them. 3nodding Thank you!
