OKay Hi All!
I'm probably going to firm things up this afternoon after work. So if you have any votes for Gang names, or factions, or so on and so forth now is the time to let me know.
Obviously one of the Gangs is primarily Italian, I think mine will be Irish. That is not to say that there cannot be Polish, Jewish or anything else out there, just that at this is exact moment I'm thinking those two will be the big ones.
Does anyone want to play a high ranking member? Perhaps even a leader?
If so please PM me so we can work out those details.
I'm thinking the Irish Gang will be led by 3 brothers so right there that is 3 high up positions available. All that I ask for anyone really high ranking to do is run major moves/changes by me first before posting them up publicly and if something isn't quite right be willing to edit .
If we're doing NYC, there's black gangs too. The Harlem Numbers racket was extremely lucrative and well-organized. Historically, Bumpy Johnson cut a deal with Lucky Luciano, which was pretty landmark since it was the first time a black gangster managed to cut a deal with an Italian crime family. This was later in the Prohibition, around the time that Lucky Luciano (who had backing from Meyer Lansky among others) managed to organize the Commission, which was more corporate and less feudal than the old Sicilian mob model. Things were kept that worked, but things that didn't got thrown out.
Anyway, that's getting ahead of the game. 1922 is basically all out war because of how much money Prohibition is making people, allowing greater access to guns and more reasons to use them.
So beyond that tl:dr, my character is Sicilian, but that doesn't mean his employers are. But as a Sicilian, he's eligible to be made if it ever came to that.
