Affiliation
Sebastiano isn't in anyone's 'camping ground' as he would call it. But, that doesn't mean that he isn't willing to listen to offers for people that happened to be with these gangs and criminal enterprises.

Occupation
A line cook & an illegal bartender.

Skill
He was taught by his previous owner to become a bartender and he soon became one of the best in the restaurant. The owner guessed that he had a hidden talent to being a bartender as he can impress a lot of people while he's mixing the drinks. Sebastiano knows how to play the piano as well, but it has been awhile since he played one. He's trying to get one to the restaurant, but he won't know how to hide it well. And he knows how to hide something in plain sight, thanks to his strict family. He always kept stuff hidden from his parents or risk getting it taken. He thinks the same way with his drinks. Keep the drink hidden or get them taken by the law.

Background
Benedetti was the youngest child in a family of six. His father wasn't around as much because of working in the mines and his mother was busying with the others to pay attention to him. When he was able to speak and walk, he started to follow his older brothers' around. Almost all of the brothers didn't care except his second youngest, Ermilo. Ermilo wasn't the smartest person around, but he knew enough to stay out of trouble.

He began to train Benedetti things about the real world like washing dishes and cooking a meal for the family. Ermilo cared about him more than his mother and father. When things at home got worse, Ermilo grew tired of the tension there and planned to run away. Benedetti didn't learn about it until he saw him bags onto the bed. He tried to get him to leave with him, but Ermilo refused and said that he would be better at home than out in the streets with him. Then, he left.

After years of dealing with his father's death and life as a teenager during the Great War, Benedetti found him in New York City terminally ill. At the age of nineteen, he packed his bags and decided to move to America so he could see his dying brother as the war was ending. No-one else wanted to move with Benedetti. Ermilo was able to see his little brother for the last time. Before he died, he gave him the remaining money that he had: $1,000. He didn't share on how he got the money or did Sebastiano asked where he got the money.

At the age of twenty-six, he started work as a dishwasher at a local restaurant and bar before the Prohibition was in effect. After working for two years, he was promoted to line cook as the Prohibition was in effect. Business fell for a couple months until it started to serve drinks illegally to their customers. The owner needed a bartender that was willing to risk their lives for cash and he found Sebastiano.

At first, he declined because he didn't know how to serve drinks; but, the owner was willing to teach him. He accepted the offer and started training to become the bartender. The restaurant had been successful overnight and the criminal enterprises of New York started to take an interest in the restaurant. Sebastiano was making more money than he ever did as a line cook and he soon got greedy. He wanted to take over the restaurant from the owner's hand, but he would never allow that to happen. With the help of other workers at the restaurant, the group pinned down the owner and kidnapped him.

Sebastiano ordered that the workers 'take care of him outside of the city limits' and assumed control of the restaurant and the illegal bar in the basement.

Point of No Return (Extreme Great Depression Alternate History)

I have finally posted something.

Point of No Return (Extreme Great Depression Alternate History)

London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
10 Downing Street was the official residence and office of Prime Minister Watson Joseph. He was in his office as he awaited the news from Germany. The rumors of a possible attack on the Kiel Canal are getting more likely as Wilhelm II's troops are setting up defenses around the city of Kiel. The citizens of the city are leaving before Hitler's forces arrive to attack. Joseph was told that the expeditionary force will arrive in the city of Hanover by tomorrow morning. The attack has been planned since the civil war began by Hitler and his generals. If someone has control of them, then they could easily control the entire North Sea. Hitler needs to control the canal in order to make up for the lost sailors and ships that were killed in the last few months.

The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs entered the room and walked towards the desk of The Prime Minister. He didn't look pleased with telling the news to Joseph, but someone had to. There was a moment of silence before the secretary spoke up, “Wilhelm's forces aren't doing well in defending the canal. Heavy artillery fire is causing chaos for the forces there. We don't know how long they can hold out until some sort of counterattack is organized.”

Joseph sighed in disappointment and turned towards the window as he saw some cars on the street. He spoke in a soft tone, “Did you hear anything about reinforcements coming to help?”

“No, sir. I didn't hear anything about reinforcements.” the secretary answered, “But, I did hear that Hanover might be next to be hit in the matter of days.”

“Hanover?” he questioned the secretary's word, “Are you sure about it?”

“Have I ever lied to you before?” the secretary convinced about the possible attack on Hanover. The Prime Minister turned away from the window and started to look at the paperwork at his desk.

“I hope to God that our expeditionary force don't get caught in middle of an artillery.” he mentioned about the forces to the secretary. The secretary tried to ease him, but his efforts didn't matter in the end as he was told that he should check with the British Embassy in Berlin for more information. The secretary kept back the remarks as he exited the office and went back to work. The Prime Minister sat there for several minutes before going back to work as well.

Hanover, German Imperial Terrority
The Gloster TC.33 was the standard British transport aircraft during the early 1930s and was used in the Indian Revolution. There were several that were going to Hanover to drop off the expeditionary force to aid Wilhelm II. The British government knew that this was the chance that they have to removing the fascist leader, Hitler. It took them several hours to reach Hanover as a sudden storm appeared over the English Channel for about four hours. They were supposed to arrive in Hanover by night time, but the original plan has changed.

Captain Alfredo Cooper, the leader of the British Expeditionary Force, waited for the plane to land. He had a fear of heights in his life and he hated being on an airplane. While he kept lying to himself that he was on the ground, the other guys couldn't wait to help and kick some German ass again. Most of the country's citizens didn't favor an expeditionary force, but they don't understand that the government would rather have Wilhelm back than have Hitler running around the country. Plus, they weren't fans of fascism.

The pilot informed the guys that they were minutes away from one of the airfields in Hanover. The men began to get ready for the rough landing and to meet other German soldiers that were loyal to Wilhelm II. The airplanes were now in the skies of Hanover as they were making their way to the airfield, where they would meet other German soldiers and give them better supplies of weapons and gear.

Since the end of World War I, the German rearmament has started out in secret until the civil war begun. Rearmament was sped up as factories in Germany were making weapons as fast as they could. Britian and other countries helped out with the rearmament for the Wilhelm forces. While the countries that supported fascism were helping out Hitler with rearmament. Since Hitler had more control over land, he had the most factories. It meant that he could produce arms at a faster rate, but he didn't have Hanover. The amount of factories prevented Wilhelm's forces for collapsing quickly. If they were to lose the city to Hitler's force, then they would most likely lose the civil war. It was most likely that Hitler would kill those that played a part in starting the civil war, even if it was a small part. Thousands would be killed if Hitler manages to win, something that the British is hoping that it doesn't happen.

Cooper's plane was one of the first to land on the airfield as his troops started to exit out of the craft. The captain walked out of the plane, thankful that the ride was over with and that he didn't have to go back up for awhile. Several German soldiers greeted the captain and the troops as they were arriving by the dozens. Within the hour, the three thousand troops that make up the British Expeditionary Force would have arrived at Hanover and started to get ready for some sort of counterattack.

Cape Town, South Africa
Christopher Porter took the hour and a half car ride to study the plans on expanding the naval base. The supplies have arrived at the base, but they still needed workers to start on the construction. Because of that, he and several contractors are planning to use Africans. They just need to be cared for and paid in cash daily. If one of them would to die in some sort of accident, then they would just hire another guy to replace him. The car stopped at a building nearby the city limit and the commander exited out of the car. He walked up the steps of the wooden house and opened the door.

He entered to see the contractors speaking to someone in their native tongue. They seemed to be upset over something as the guys kept getting more displeased. Porter entered the house and the contractors got the last word as the person left the room. He walked pass by the commander and left the house. Porter looked at the man and turned towards the contractors, “What was that about?”

“It's nothing you need to worry about.” one of the contractors said in his broken English before talking about the plans for the naval base.

The guy was outside of the house as he got a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and grabbed one of them. Then, he grabbed the lighter and started to light up the cigarette. He breathed in and then out as smoke appeared out of his mouth. He did that as he was walking down the steps of the wooden house. The car was standing there alone with no-one watching it. After the cigarette had lost its 'favor', the guy pressed the cigarette down on the hood of the car. He then flicked the cigarette to the driver's seat as the windows were low enough to allow that.

He started the long walk home as the mysterious figure walked with angry. The guy's fishing business would have to go down in order to expand the naval base, but the guy tried his best to pressure them and he failed. His workers and family won't be happy with the news that their business is going to tear down. But, he wasn't going to give up in the fight to defend his business.

Mutually Assured Destruction [Post World War 2/Cold War in Fictional World]

If you don't think that I am able to play as a world power, then I am fine with being a secondary power. I'd personally rather be a secondary power; If no-one else shows up, then I might be a world power.

I haven't seen a Cold War-based nation roleplay during my time on here and I am interested.

Mutually Assured Destruction [Post World War 2/Cold War in Fictional World]

I won't mind taking control of either a world power (that's an economic and industrial powerhouse) or a secondary power.
