Get Rich Quick: A 21st Century Heisting RP

Adrian Cooke

---

---

Name: Adrian Cooke

Age: 26

Nationality: Australian

Alias(es): James Morey, Sebastian Smith, Robert Downing

Heist Name: Sharp

Weapons of Choice: Mossberg 500 pump action shotgun, Ruger SP-101, 4" switchblade

Distinctive Feature: Wears a dress jacket and a hockey mask

Team Responsibility: Control Freak- Leader of the group and in charge of civilian and guard control

Personality: Adrian is smart. He never excelled in school, but he has a far higher than average IQ, and his police file notes him as a man of significant intelligence. He's taken speech lessons to hide his highly distinct accent, and he often switches between accents and voices to throw people off. He’s been a crook for a long time, and he knows the game.

He’s a bit of an adrenaline junkie, as any long-time heister and thief has to be, but he’s also a solid man when you need to be, and exudes a presence. A snap of his fingers gets people moving,and there’s nothing quite like a sharp dressed man holding a chrome revolver to grab attention, especially if he’s screaming at you in a Texas accent.

History: You want a man born for crime? Look no further than Adrian Cooke. Born in Sydney, Australia, he didn't exactly have the greatest upbringing in the world. His father was a drunken idiot who couldn't hold down a job and was a little too handsy with his son and wife. After one too many drinks (and backhands,) his wife left him, taking the young Adrian with him. She was a better parental figure, although honestly it would be hard not to be, but Adrian still didn’t excel in school, scraping through high school by the absolute skin of his teeth.

After he was done, he picked himself up and joined the Australian army, starting what would be a short, but successful career, as he took to soldiering well. Unfortunately for the world, his officers didn't take to him. After toeing the line one times too many, he was out on his ass with nothing but a dishonourable discharge for four years of service.

After he was done, he left the country entering the land of the free with nothing but a change of clothes. He bought his first personal firearm soon after, and his first major crime was the armed robbery and assault of a wealthy couple outside of a Boston theatre at age 23.

After this, he started popping up opportunistically, bagging jewellery or ripping off drug dealers for years. Soon however, he was getting more attention than he liked, and besides, he wasn’t making enough to keep up with his desires. Searching on the parts of the web that the police hate, he met up with Circuit. The rest? History.

Skills: He’s a military man, and knows the deal when it comes to both the cops and the jobs he’s on. He’s a smart man too, and whilst more of a bellower than a smooth talker, there’s nobody that’s going to disobey him in the bank.

Favourite Song: Should I Stay or Should I Go- The Clash

Mark Goldsmith

Name: Mark Goldsmith

Age: 20

Nationality: Jewish, American

Alias(es): Adam Aarons

Heist Name: Smokes

Weapons of Choice: TEC-9, modified to fire fully automatic

Distinctive Feature: Has spray-painted his TEC-9 to look like a CS:GO Nuclear Threat skin.

Team Responsibility: Getaway Driver

Personality: James is the ultimate adrenaline junkie. He lives for the thrill, and it shows, being able to pull off insane stunts in anything from a dune buggy to a 18-wheeler, and keep a level (if whooping,) head through all of it. He always has a grin on his face, and although he’s a little twitchy when it comes to the cops, he’s always there to get the crew away from the scene of the crime.

History: Mark is a third-generation Jewish American, but his family are still dirt poor. Early in life, he showed an aptitude for go-kart racing, and although he wanted to enter the professional league (not NASCAR though. Fuck NASCAR,) his parents simply couldn’t afford to buy him into the circuits.

Now, he uses his skills on the track as a getaway driver and petty thief. When he’s not with the gang, he’s running a scam, jacking expensive Mercedes to a tow truck and scrapping them, or enjoying one of the many, many, many cigars he has a penchant for.

Despite this though, the gang makes him twitchy. He doesn’t like sticking around them for long periods of time, and he only works for them because Circuit has some serious dirt on him. Other than Circuit and the man himself, nobody quite knows what this dirty secret is.

Skills: He’s has a smooth tongue on him, even if his main job is getting the team as far away from the danger as possible. Once got the VIP treatment in a strip club for free, that’s how good he is with his tongue.

Favourite song: Highway Star- Deep Purple

Corey Daniels

Name: Corey Daniels

Age: 30

Nationality: American

Alias(es): None

Heist Name: Circuit

Weapons of Choice: None

Distinctive Feature: None

Team Responsibility: Comms Link- He’s the guy that does any remote electronic stuff the team needs doing, from overriding security systems to delaying silent alarms.

Personality: Honestly? Nobody really knows. Circuit is a professional guy, and that extends to his private life. If you don’t need to know anything about him, you don’t know anything about him.

History: Likewise, nobody knows. He keeps to himself, even in the safehouse.

Skills: Tech genius. He’s a living god when it comes to computers, that’s for sure.

Favourite song: Technologic- Daft Punk

Get Rich Quick: A 21st Century Heisting RP

Get In The Mood!

---

---

Welcome to Get Rich Quick, an RP where we'll play as a plucky group of bastard bank (and other areas of wealth,) robbers, in a semi-realistic, but still slightly humorous, modern heisting RP!

The Prompt

Welcome to Get Rich Quick. You, whoever you are, are someone who the system didn't give a shit about. You were busting your ass working three jobs and earning nothing, whilst your boss(es) sat on their asses and earned five times what you earned in a week in a day. Or perhaps that's not you. Maybe you're just someone who didn't want to bust their asses in the system, or you're a greedy fucker who wants more cash. Point is, the gates are open. Time to Get Rich Quick.

If the above didn't explain it, this is a heisting RP, where characters will be taking over a group of (initially,) small time crooks who clean out jewellery stores and cash exchange points, into full on bank and casino robbers. Take it stealthy, or burst in guns blazing. Only rule? Don't touch anything that doesn't sell. Who's in?

What Can We Expect?

This'll be a more realistic than silly RP, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun! We'll be taking the roles of various members of a heisting group, both as they become the terror of New York City via robberies, and as their downtime in an increasingly money-filled safehouse, chilling out, smoking cigars, and watching their exploits on the box.

Most of the action will be based around the various heists of course. The crew will start off doing simple, almost petty crime, such as looting jewellery stores and ripping off small-time gangs, but as time goes on, they'll end up being able to move around the country, go after more lucrative contracts, and hopefully hit the crown jewel of heisting: Las Vegas.

What Characters Can I Make?

Pretty much anyone! Whilst the group leader is my character, and the hacker and getaway drivers are NPCs under my control, you can play anything from a mob hitman who took an unlikey career turn, to a gang member tired of making shitty cash, to an overworked Joe who finally gave up the job that was killing him and now wants to make some real money. The gang is an equal opportunities one as well- men, women, all ethnicities are all welcome!

The Character Sheet

Name: Self explanatory.
Age: Likewise.
Appearance: Either a written descriptor or realistic picture/drawing. No anime please.
Nationality: Also pretty obvious.
Alias(es): You are crooks after all.
Heist Name: What they call you whilst you're all masked up. Should be short, sharp and snappy.
Weapons of Choice: Three. A primary, secondary, and whatever you keep for when they get too close. (Or uppity)
Distinctive Feature: What does the public know you for?
Team Responsibility: What's your role in the team?
Personality: All.
History: This.
Skills: Is obvious.
Favourite song: Optional, but nice to have.

So long as we get a drill that doesn't break every five seconds, I am so down.

@Cu Chulainn

Nope! Instead, we have to search everywhere for keycards.

Get Rich Quick: A 21st Century Heisting RP- Reposted

"None of you lot need to worry. This money isn't yours, it's the banks. Yours is aalll nice and ensured by the Federal Reserve. Sit tight, don't interrupt us, and you'll leave without a scratch on you. Swear to Jesus."

Nice words, but nice words don't mean shit when you've got a gun pointed at your face, and several masked men (and women) are shouting and pointing more guns everywhere. A man tries to stand up and gets shoved down, a spray of bullets hitting the roof of the bank.

"You try to run, you try to be a hero? These guns ain't props. Stay the FUCK down."

Another spray of bullets, the rest of the crowd hitting the ground, a few sobs and screams coming from the men. A security guard, clearly realising that his 20K a year isn't worth a bullet for, drops his gun, one of the crooks clipping a pair of handcuffs around his wrists and forcing him down onto his knees. "We thank you for your cooperation. Now, sir, open the vault." The first man points a shotgun at the manager, who fumbles a keycard out and slots it in. The vault beeps three times, before the light turns off.

"Why isn't it opening?"
"Uhm... It's on a ten second timelo-"
"Oh for fucks sake. Smoke, get the keycard from one of the cashiers. You, fat fuck, hand over the card." The manager obliged, one of the robbers going to the cashiers and snapping his fingers. "You got three seconds to hand over the keycard before I break your fingers. Three... Two..."

One of them quickly scrabbles it out and tosses it to him. "Smart chick." He nods, and goes over, the two robbers sliding the locks in. Once inside, the group moves quick, two of the masked men standing outside as the rest bag over $3 million in cash and leave.

"PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS WITH ALL OF YOU!"
