New York, year 2015; not much has changed in the City that never sleeps, or, at least, as far as the common eye can tell. Because behind closed doors and street corners, evil is afoot. The streets of modern day New York can be tough on people with no allegiance. When people work for long hours with little pay; that’s when most people get connect to a family.
The Italian Mafia: The Cosa Nostra, has been in the game the longest, and knows the various trades well. They have the most members. They have successfully managed to unite most of the crime in New York under their own personal banner. They have managed to bring everyone from the Irish thugs, to the Russian Mafia, to even the Japanese under the Cosa Nostra name. The Cosa Nostra controls most of the chains of drug department.
The Irish Mafia: The West End Mob, have the most brutal members, all of which are adept at hand to hand combat. These guys wear expensive clothes, drive fast cars, carry big guns and specialize in robbing banks.You don't want to get on their bad side. The Irish mob dominated New York's underworld for well over a century before facing competition from other, primarily recently arrived Italian and Jewish gangs. The West End Mob managed to hold control of all of the guns trade businesses.
The Russian Mafia: Obshina Bratva, come from a harsh war-torn home, where everyday seems like a fight to survive. A great deal of them was ex-KGB and Spetznaz. The former Soviet Bloc's opening up to the world and the internationalization of its economy also gave the Russian mafia connections to other criminal organizations around the world such as the Chinese Triads or the Sicilian Cosa Nostra. Connections with Latin American drug cartels allowed the Russian mafia to import cocaine into the country. The Obshina Bratva control all prostitution rings throughout the city.
The Spanish Mafia: Los Bustamante, the new kids on the block, they are rising quickly with power. Already have business in most of South America, Central America, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. Los Bustamante is a very tight knit family, group of men-of-honor, not only joined by Mafia bonds, but also by ties of blood. Los Bustamante has maintained to build a chain of casinos throughout the five boroughs which managed to be hot spots of the underworld crimes.
The Asian Mafia: The White Dragon Triad, activities present in Asian communities around Southeast Asia. When Malaysia and Singapore, which have the region's largest population of ethnic Chinese, first became Crown Colonies, secret societies and triads were much more common and controlled the local communities similar to the way the Cosa Nostra did through extortion of "protection money" and illegal money lending, causing to grow and move to the states. Many conducted blood rituals such as drinking one another's blood as a sign of brotherhood, while others engaged in running opium dens and brothels. They are often involved in helping immigrants enter countries illegally, for a price.
The Cosa Nostra and West End Mob have been caught in a rivalry that spans decades. While they've been focused on each other, the White Dragon Triad and Los Bustamante have risen. Leaving Obshina Bratva, to thrive in the ashes of the ongoing war.
