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.
To each family there is an heir, someone they have chosen to become the next Don of the family. These mobsters, each with different backgrounds and history, must prove to their family that they are the best. What happens when the Don to be begin getting a little too greedy? In these streets, it's all about survival of the fittest. Do you think you have what it takes to survive?

Hair Color: The color is a bit of a mix. It's mostly a light brown but has natural blonde highlights.
Eye Color: Her eyes are a striking electric blue with lighter, steel grey flecks scattered in the iris.
Height and Build: She reaches 5'9 in height, with tail and all. Nixie is slender in body wise and lean in mass due to the active lifestyle she carries.
Other Appearance: Her tail is a blue color, not exactly turquoise like most others of her kind. It actually has absolutely no shade of green in the scales. The blue is a light one that gradually darkens into a rich royal blue as it reaches her tail fin. There are a few silvery scales here and there that adds to the blue. The two fins that run along the side of her tail are both a dark blue. Whenever exposed to sunlight or any lighting in general, her tail tends to glisten. The silver that is implanted in the blue seems to glow the brightest.
History/bio:
Other mermaids never meant much to Nixie. She never considered them her sisters or her family. Nixie always put more stock in her own interests rather than the pods, despite their view of putting the pods' needs first. Nixie’s beliefs always starkly contrasted that, so she abandoned her pod when she was fifteen without a second thought, believing she was better off alone. At least by herself she wouldn’t have to worry about being scolded by the leaders of the pod. Nixie simply liked herself better than anyone else.
Her pod had warned her about the world above, and that most humans meant harm and with them, that meant all mortals. Nixie never really believed her pod. Nixie always believed there was more than traveling one place to another in fear to be discovered. The pod never could understood why she wanted to leave. It was curiosity, however that really was just her arrogance. She never thought a simple human would be able to overpower her, and they couldn’t most of the time.
Nixie lived on land for another year before she was discovered by humans that weren’t particularly friendly. They weren’t really hunters. They didn’t want to kill her like most hunters did. They wanted her, to keep her like a cow and milk her for Aquamarine; her tears. They found her, however they weren't able to capture her. She had fleet feet on land and in the water she was even more swift. Water dancer, they called her. At least, one of them called her that, once. Nixie thought the name made her sound beautiful and deadly, just like she was convinced she was.
While running, she stole, scavenged and used her body to get what she could to survive. Food, shelter. Nixie was able to go all across America and it suited her, she liked traveling, but the whole time, the hunters were on her tail.
One by one, the group that was chasing her gave up. There was just one that continued to run after her, one man who was convinced that he needed her. The game was fun at first, but she was getting a bit tired of it. She was approached by a woman, a professor from Gringore Academy and offered safe place there. Nixie was always someone who tried new things and so she took the woman up on her offer.
After a month in Gringore as a student, she left once again. This time, the man that was hunting after her, Matt, found her and captured her. This time she was more desperate need to escape. Nixie managed to escape from his grasp with the cost of the man's life. However, she did not care. Nixie just wanted to get back to the place she was going to finally settle, Gringore.
