I was looking for a good mafia-based RP based in the mid 1900's, but I guess this will suit me too.  Looks like we already have enough Irish influence in this thread... but I'm gonna be Irish nonetheless, cause it's in my blood.  I don't know the name of the city, so I will refer to it as 'the City'.

I see that no one else is allowed to be a hitman, so John will be coming to the city seeking employment - until such a time as he can accomplish his goal.

[b]Name[/b]:  John Rumby
[b]Age[/b]:  22
[b]Gender[/b]:  Male
[b]Bio/Personality[/b]:  John was born in a small town south of the City, off a dirt road, raised alongside his younger sister, Sarah.  His father worked a weekend shift in the factory, but was gone throughout the week maintaining his 'illegal business'; he used money from both sources to support his family.  John went to a small school and was always quiet and reserved, and was very protective over his little sister on the playground.  Derek 'Tommy' Thompson was John's first friend, and remains his best friend to this day.  Derek's father worked for John's father, and John's mother often babysat the two boys - so their bond has always been strong.

Growing up, Tommy always admired Sarah, but never made it apparent to John because he feared it would hurt their friendship.  In their teens, Tommy started to get more involved in the Rumby crime business.  John may have followed in his father's footsteps, but at his mother's behest, he was denied the opportunity.  Instead, his father got him a job at the factory.  Nevertheless, Tommy started to learn the tricks of the trade, and went off on his own at times to start his own illegal operations; needless to say, John was asked to help out, and he did so.  But John never joined Tommy's little crime ring officially, however, as he respected his mother and did not want to go against her wishes.  John has always been close to his family, and while his father was constantly away, he had to be the man of the house.

A few months ago, however, Mr. Rumby and his gang - including Tommy's father - was gunned down in cold blood.  The exact circumstances are unclear, but the entire Rumby Mob was wiped out that day.

Angry, and seething with vengeance, John Rumby has come to the City to find his father's killer.  Tommy is to busy dealing with his own operations, but he gave John as much information as he could, and is willing to give him more if he finds anything else out.  But no one else knows this - as John has come to the City seeking employment, and wants to gather information about his father's killer.

[b]Other[/b]:  John's not a criminal.  Or at least, not in any real sense.  He has helped Tommy on numerous occasions with odd jobs - but he's never done anything serious.  That said, he's not exactly good in a shootout, probably not to accurate either; he hasn't had to much experience shooting guns [i]at all[/i].  He also has no contacts in the City, so he has to start from scratch.  He doesn't have much money, and has absolutely no assets, and not even a car - or weapon.  There's nothing particularly special about him.  He's just a young man who's way in over his head.

John's main reason for being in the city is to find employment, build a network of contacts, gather information about who killed Mr. Rumby, and eventually exact vengeance - when the time is right.  He will befriend anyone he needs too, and betray anyone he needs too.  If he survives all of this, he might even try to rebuild the Rumby Mob.
