Here's to You, Gangster's Paradise(OOC Thread/Sign Up)

[Serderistan]

Introduction

This is the Out-of-Character thread for the RP "Here's to You, Gangster's Paradise", a primarily character based RP that focuses on the tumultuous city of Roanapur. Here, you take on the role of one of the many denizens currently residing in the capital of this rebellious colony. You can either be the head of one of Roanapur's gangs, a bounty hunter, a mercenary, a member of a noble family, a foreign special operations unit, and more. Here, OOC related topics such as the resolution of RP disagreements, discussion on possible plot points, clarifications about certain actions and more will be featured here. Do note, that it is very likely that the thread will feature some mature content...so some discretion is advised

If interested in the RP, then either TG me or The Kingdom of Rhamos
Link for the IC thread over can be followed here.

[Sarxland]

(My actual nation won't be involved in this thread, but my faction will have ties to it to a degree.)
Nation Name: Sarxland
Head of State: Sir Thomas Warton
Reason for Involvement: N/A - Sarxland is uninvolved with the so called 'Gangster's Paradise'.

Faction name: The Black Vigil.
In a dog eat dog society, the Black Vigil could be more accurately be described as a prowling wolf. Created by a number of washed out Sarx soldiers and agents who fell on hard times and left the country in disgrace. Their leader, Vision Saumer spent years gathering the 'core members' of the Black Vigil together, but no one can argue with his results. When it comes to muscle, The Black Vigil are amongst some of the strongest groups around, not by numbers of course, but by skill, many of their core members have military training, while others have frontline experience in the shadowy battlefield of international espionage.

Today however there is almost nothing the Vigil will touch, although the arms trade remains their forte. Drugs, human trafficking, and other, 'enterprises', if it's not 'clean' than the Vigil either wants a piece of it, or has taken it from someone else. Although the Vigil does lack for numbers, a small but elite organisation which rarely ever makes itself known in daylight. The Vigil never meet during daylight hours and are quick to move locations when threatened, although everyone who deals with them knows, to find them, look for the Black 'V' with an eye in the center.

The Vigil are also famous for taking assassination contracts and providing 'protection' to others, be they gangs or less notorious groups, the Vigil is essentially a small army for hire.

Character name(s): (Vision Saumer may appear later in the story, but I'd rather show the organisation and it's business from the perspective of Vision's lieutenants.)

Crimson: Crimson fought in a number of wars as part of the Sarxland Black Operations Division known as the Crown's Own. She is Visions top dog when it comes to removing the Vigil's enemies. Crimson is rarely involved unless a real statement needs to be made and simple intimidation won't cut it. Often in the form of explosives or bullets put into the right places, or people.

Shackles: Shackles is the groups bureaucrat, one of the few local recruits, picked up from a small time street gang the Vigil wiped out in its early days. Shackles is officially the Master of the groups slave ring, but often finds himself in charge of the array of discreet accountants and other such individuals which keep the Vigil afloat and efficient. Shackles is often the man who will meet with other factions who wish to negotiate or do business with the Vigil and should negotiations turn sour, Shackles will be sure to defer them to Miss Crimson.

Quake: Quake is the man on the ground, he drives around to collect 'donations' for the Vigil in a small black van with four ex military men inside it. Quake is often the face on the street for the Vigil and he's more than happy to do the dirty work, a known Sadist, he has more than once strung up people who displeased the Vigil publically before carving the Organisations mark onto their chest and back with a dull knife, once his work is done, this giant of a man throws a handful of salt at their chest and walks off, leaving them screaming in the street.




(This organisation seems pretty dark to me... Anyone else seeing that? )

[Osthavn]

Nation name: Osthavn
Head of state: Mr. Richard Norwood
Reason for involvement: N/A (my country’s not involved)

Faction name: The Four Horsemen
A local four person small time group of bounty hunters trying to make it big the only way they know how.

Characters:
Erin Anderson (Plague): Daughter of a rich man with unusual hobbies. After her father cut her off, she went to find a new source of income, and thus is the financial backer of the four horsemen. Proficient in long range weaponry.
Blair McWeir (War): Born low middle class but became impoverished after debt broke up her family, grew up on the streets and makes a little money in bare-fist fights. Joined to make a quick buck!
Elena Nguyen (Famine): Lower class but not impoverished, went to school with Blair and now does intelligence gathering for the group. Is a NEET and doesn’t want a real job.
Death: Mysterious leader/founder of the group. No info available. Proficient in medium range weaponry.

[Murovanka]

Nation Name: Murovanka
Head of State: Kanzler J. M. Dumbledore
Reason for Involvement:
Recent operations undertaken by the Murovankan Intelligence Agency had discovered that over 40% of drugs smuggled into Murovanka originated from the lawless capital of Roanapur. With limited knowledge of the capital, the decision was made to send in a special forces squad to get a better view of the situation and if possible, eliminate the drug lords. This would be done covertly, however, and all efforts would be made to ensure that the troops' country of origin remains secret.

Faction name: Sturmgeschwader 13 (SGS-13), the Murovankan Intelligence Agencies' special forces division
Character name(s):

1. Regiment/15. Kommando, with 12 operatives, was formed six months ago. In comparison with other units in the SGS-13, they are still very new and inexperienced to the game, having been deployed on five other occasions only. But in this short time, a strong bond was forged between the twelve as they look forward to experience new adventures.

The standard loadout for SGS-13 operatives consists of an MP-5, a 9mm Glock pistol and a variety of fragmentation/stun grenades. In addition, each wears lightweight bulletproof body armor at all times.

1. Gruppe "Adler"

Feldwebel Mario "Napoleon" Skorzeny- Commander

Unteroffizier Wolfgang "Fuchs" Fölkersam- Intelligence

Obergefreiter Elsa "Medusa" Deschner - Communication

Obergefreiter Adolf "Ritter" von Aalen - Medic

Gefreiter Heiko "Colt" Tillman - Weapons

Gefreiter Oskar "Ratte" von Stinkhoven - Engineer

In the meantime, the rest of 15. Kommando will be placed on standby and stationed on board Carrier Battle Group Dönitz.

All have been approved.

[Sarxland]

Who are you playing as Serderistan? I don't believe you've told us all yet.

[Murovanka]

Oh, quick questions: Who will be playing the cities civilians, police force/army?
Is there a map for Ruanapur? Just so that I can figure out how to get my agents in. I was thinking of paratrooping them into the countryside and occupying some old house on the outskirts of the city and use it as my headquarters.

Edit: And are there any air defences around Osatia; if so, how modern are they?

[Serderistan]

Who are you playing as Serderistan? I don't believe you've told us all yet.

Shhh, it's a secret :3

But in all seriousness, I've going to go with three different groups...which I'm going to detail right now.

Nation Name: The Federal Republic of Serderistan
Head of State: President Arthur Nihil
Reason for Involvement: To Disrupt Osatia's plans and bring a less violent conclusion to the conflict in Tambaye.

Faction name: Covert Warfare Detachment-1 (Noble)
A Serdari black operations unit that works the covert paramilitary unit, Section 3. A relatively new team, they have been already taken part in several extremely dangerous counter terrorist and military operations. This mission is also somewhat personal for them, as Osatian black operations soldiers had attempted to murder several members of the unit in order to prevent them future interference in their plans.
Character name(s):
Captain Andrew "Paragon" Gardner - Commander

Chief Warrant Officer Richard "Dutch"Talbot- Machinegunner/XO

Master Sergeant Hamed "Steel" Ali - Grenadier

Staff Sergeant Yuri "Buckshot" Crandal - Close Quarters Combat/ Demolitions Specialist

Sergeant Johansen "Maverick" Kassir - Rifleman/'Jack of all trades'

Operative Elijah "Lone Wolf" 312 - Rifleman

Sergeant James "Rook" Dorian - Marksman/ Medic

Sergeant Seras "Copper" Victoria - Sniper

Faction Name: Hotel Lakia
One of the more influential and deadlier criminal organizations in Roanapur, the Tambayan branch of the Serdarikravi mafia is a force to be reckoned with. While their illegal activities are extensive(to include smuggling of weapons, drugs, people, multiple murders and assassinations, etc), the real reason for their success in Roanapur is their leader and the men she employs. While some of the more basic mob soldiers are simply Krakavian with a good amount of street smarts, Hotel Lakia also employs a group of former members of the Serdari Foreign Legion's 9th Special Infantry Regiment('Stray Dogs') and the Special Service Group('Blades'). For dealing with extreme threats(or when a message needs to be sent), this group is used with military efficiency to remove the problem. It is because of this, Hotel Lakia has continued to thrive even with the Marduk militia stepping up their operations.

Character name:
Vladilena "Balalaika" Ivanova - Leader of the Serdarikravi mafia's Tambaye branch, known as Hotel Lakia. A former officer in the Foreign Legion's 9th Special Infantry Regiment, she and the surviving members of her company joined the Serdarikravi mafia and rapidly rose through the ranks. She has assisted the members of Covert Warfare Detachment-1 with their mission in Roanapur...though this is now, less likely.

Faction Name: Inferno
A mysterious terrorist organization that is collaborating with the Margrave for some unknown reason. They have had dealings with some of the other factions in Roanapur, but mostly for using them to fulfill their own needs.

Character name:
Azazel: The enigmatic leader of the Inferno terrorist organization. He is unknown to most intelligence organizations and those who have information on him know very little other than he was formerly an intelligence officer and that he has access to advanced military hardware. His sole defining physical characteristic is that his eyes have been surgically modified to be yellow, mostly for the purpose of intimidation.

Oh, quick questions: Who will be playing the cities civilians, police force/army?
Is there a map for Ruanapur? Just so that I can figure out how to get my agents in. I was thinking of paratrooping them into the countryside and occupying some old house on the outskirts of the city and use it as my headquarters.

Edit: And are there any air defences around Osatia; if so, how modern are they?

Rhamos will be playing as the city's inhabitants. As for a map, we have a map of the island and of the Aelian mainland but not of the city itself but we'll see about getting one up for the city. In the meantime, I'll put up a map of the Tambaye while we try and make a city map. As for the map posted, Osatia is located on the right side of Osatia, near the second bay from the top(on the point to be exact).
While Roanapur has been hit by air strikes from the Coalition forces before, it can be safe to assume that Osatia has modern air defenses as they have relatively the same type of equipment as the Rhamosians do.




EDIT: Make a slight change to one of the soldier's ranks

[Connori Pilgrims]

Primary Country/Faction - United Provinces of Connorianople
Head of State: i̱géti̱s Erich vi Javier II
Reason for Involvement/Objectives: Primary (Original) - Gather more information on Osatia in preparation for Case Flood[-redacted-]; Primary (New) - Neutralize Cult of Cthulhu Operations on behalf of both United Provinces and Confederacy of Augustinian.

The Intel'Analyka is the United Provinces' ultimate intelligence arm, charged with knowing the entire world around the United Provinces. It works in the dark or in the light as necessary to achieve its aims in the name of the United Provinces. Among its many arms, the one most involved on the ground at Roanapur is the Divisio Assassini. As the name implies, they are the shadows by which the I'A will know this city, and should lethal action be needed they will also be the United Provinces' executioners.
Character Name(s):
Assassina Secundis Lucy Stillway - Last known whereabouts were that she works as a waitress at the Manikomo Scene, the biggest club in all Roanapur as her cover.
Other characters may be added...

The Cult has quickly gained many followers in Roanapur in the past decade, the miserable and downtrodden masses of the city being perfectly vulnerable to the Cult's promises and visions of the Great Green One himself coming to herald a new era - an era that of course will not bring any good to them anyway if they ever knew the truth. Despite this, the Cult has taken to the shadows as they are being hunted by multiple nations led by the United Provinces and the Confederacy that have territories in Aels. They also take great pains to avoid direct conflict, while trying to gain influence wherever they can. While gathering followers and strength, the Cult of course has taken to indulging or even pioneering several depravities, adding to the already bleak landscape of Roanapur.
Character Name(s):
Baron Vladimir von Garkonnen - a local Osatian noble and the primary benefactor of the Cult in Osatia.
Pieter Van Grief - the Baron von Garkonnen's Right Hand and leader of the Baron's personal army.
The Priesthood on Osatia - The clergy of the Cult of Cthulhu on Roanapur. Very little is known about them.

[The Kingdom of Rhamos]

Hey guys, awesome too see so much new interest in this thread already from both new and old members and as such I think it is fitting that i do a small Q and A about the RP, the city, the people, etc.

-I will be playing as the city and military and other such npc's, others can too within reason as well. Just don't go crazy is all i ask although normally I will throw a wrench in where ever I can simply because that's the way the city is which is chaos of course.

- Each Rhamosian colony has it's own defense force that it recruits locally for,which Rhamos supplies. These DF's have normally been Rhamos's go to force when it comes to most conflicts in Aels since the Rhamosian homeland is an ocean and continent away. Osatia being the largest colony naturally had the largest Defense force with the equipment to match. So with a war going on Osatia has majorly beefed up it's air defense network to combat against Denetheirs stealth aircraft.

-The easiest way to get men, supplies and such into Roanapur is to either stowaway on a cargo ship or pay one of the many many maaaaany smugglers to do it for you.

-Mainland Aels has a native population of germanic tribal decent called Nutks. Rhamosians really really hate Nutks to the point of blatant apartheid policies and racism. There is a small minority population of Nutks living in Roanapur that sought refuge from a past war before the hate. If you are going to play a Rhamosian make sure to take this into account.

-Not everyone is psycho murderer drug addicts, most wanted independence due to some "past injustices" in the same war that the nutks came to Osatia. After the independence though everyone had their own idea on how the government should be run based on their ideologies. When the Margrave refused to step down though these individuals radicalized into their own political/resistance movements that resembled street gangs more than they did political groups and often fought each other more than the government. This wave of violence created the environment for organized crime to prosper and thus the current state of the city was born.

-The Margrave maintains control over this hell hole through his own sheer iron will and brute force with the help of his jack boot thugs the Marduk Militia. The Marduk's are essentially their own military force and have taken over almost all the security and enforcement jobs in the city. Identifiable by their red berets their presence is everywhere and will not hesitate to put their boot on your windpipe if provoked. Some do take the job seriously though and perform their actions like a normal police officer would trying to clean the city up a little bit at a time, though these individuals normally aren't around for too long themselves.

-OOC INFO-

This thread has been going on for 3 iterations so if something goes over your head feel free to ask at any time. If anyone has watched Black Lagoon the answer yes it is exactly like that Roanapur, name and everything.

*Edit: Also forgot, while you can pretty much go wild if you cause to much of a ruckus the Marduks will bring the hammer down on you hard. Consider it like GTA except there's no cheat code to lower your wanted level so once you get the Marduk's attention they will get creative trying to paste you across the city. You've been warned

[Murovanka]

Okay, thanks. I've posted- in future, TG me if you want me to change anything. I hope rping the Osatian sailor ain't a problem.

Edit: Is there anyone who'd like to RP his organization as the main drug supplier to Murovanka?

[Gigaverse]

Was it me or did I just read "Roanapur"?

[Wandering Argonians]

As I have little else to do at the moment:


Nation Name: The Modernist Republic of Argonia
Head of State: Unofficially, Intelligence Director Arakesh Quickclaw
Reason for Involvement: Not Involved, aside from providing this dossier...

Argonian Intelligence Service Organization Dossier #2201: Blackwood Company

Organization Name: Blackwood Company, LLC
Organization Type: Private Military Corporation/Suspected Terrorist Group
Organization Ties: Argonian Intelligence Service, Marshland Liberation Army, Grayrock Criminal Syndicate
Organization Loyalty: None, seemingly motivated solely by financial means with zero political or social agenda

Notable Personnel:

Name: Sektan Keth
Age: 55 years (Early Adulthood)
Gender: Male
Species: Argonian (Dark Breed)
Physical Description: Six feet, two inches in height. Two-hundred thirty pounds, powerful build. Extensive tattoo work visible on forearms and neck.

Background:
The early beginnings of Sektan Keth are a bit of a mystery, but analysts infer that he was born on a Dark-Breed compound in the southern Marsh. Parents unknown, but this is common among his species. Raised in the commune in the culture of warfare and brought up with a hatred of the Modernist Republic from his earliest years, it is unsurprising that Sektan turned to mercenary work like most of his species. The training regimens of the Dark-Breed compounds have been observed to be brutal and unforgiving, despite the rarity of which their kind reproduces, and can be compared to national special-operations units in physical difficulty. Running the gamut of military disciplines, the focus remains on small unit tactics and individual weapons systems, thus producing highly-proficient and competent operators. Following the completion of his training, Sektan was recruited by Blackwood Company, a private military group comprised mainly of Dark-Breed personnel with a reputation for ruthlessness and efficiency. To date, Keth has spent nearly three and a half decades in the employ of Blackwood Company, with most of that time frame skipping between war zones and conflict hot-spots, which includes the Second Argonian Civil War.

Keth is known to specialize in a variety of operations, primarily ASOT (Advanced Special Operations Techniques) and intelligence work. He is ideally suited to deployment in urban operational theaters for purposes of destabilization and organization of indigenous populations into a viable fighting force. Keth also maintains a skill set suited to organized criminal enterprises, and is known to employ such skills when interfacing with such elements.

-Gemtech Tundra 9mm suppressor
-Nikon Binoculars (20-Power)
-Raven Concealment pistol holster/magazine pouches


Name: Vektor Kolto
Age: 52 years
Gender: Male
Species: Argonian (Dark-Breed)
Physical Description: Six-feet one-inches in height, two-hundred ten pounds in weight, powerful build

Background:
Like his associate Sektan, Vektor's early life is a matter of conjecture and speculation. We can infer that the two of them originate from the same compound, but that is as extensive as background information on Vektor in particular gets. Sources indicate he was recruited for Blackwood Company around a year after Sektan was selected, and the two have apparently toured many of the same battle-fields and war-zones as part of Covert Operations Element 'Vapor', according to Blackwood Company records seized last year during a raid on one of their forward operations bases in Marshland Liberation Army territory by CJSOTF 'Banshee'. Records indicate Kolto specializes in ASOT and explosives handling/demolitions work, making him an excellent counter-point to Sektan Keth in urban operational theaters where destabilization of governments is the intended objective. While most Argonians of tribal and Dark-Breed birth grow into gifted knife-fighters, it should be noted that Kolto is exceptionally gifted in this particular discipline.

Nationality: Argonian (Ex-Pat)
Tech Level: Modern

Weapons:
-Purpose-built integrally-suppressed short-barrel carbine (AR-15 Format), 5.56x45mm
-Modified Glock 19 pistol, 9x19mm
-Spartan Blades 'Ares'-pattern knife
-Grayman Blades 'Dinka VAR'-pattern knife

Equipment:
-Scaleable Mayflower Research & Consulting plate carrier (Black)
-Purpose-built chest rig (4 rifle mag, 2 pistol mag, EOD tool-kit pouch, Stuff-It pouch, IFAK)
-Personal IFAK (Quik-Clot, Tourniquet, Tape, Argonian NPA, Gauze, Chest Seal)
-Comms System (PRC-148)
-Gemtech Tundra 9mm Suppressor
-Raven Concealment holster/pistol magazine pouches
-10 lbs SEMTEX
-5 radio-frequency controlled electronic blasting caps
-1 frequency-selection remote detonator
-50 ft Det-Cord
-50 ft Time-Fuse
-10 manual detonation triggers
-100 ft electrical tape
-1 Condor 24-hour bag (Black)

I understand the non human aspect may be a bit off putting, but they 'play' like any other breed of modern ninja.

Is there anyone who'd like to RP his organization as the main drug supplier to Murovanka?

Anyone..?

Hmmm, I could have Hotel Lakia be one of the suppliers. However, I think that the other gangs/mafias should also have a piece of the pie.

EDIT: The Brown Bite gang also seems like a good pick.

Alright. Would it be OK if I extracted information out of the Osatian sailor to give me a starting point? And could I handle the interrogation process for both sides?

I have no problem. Its just one guy and it isn't like he's Marduk or Osatia Navy. Also, it seems that the Browns do more producing of drugs while Hotel Lakia transports contraband (which includes drugs). Just an observation.

Hmm. SInce you're transporting the stuff, it would be logical that you had some rogue members amongst the crew. Could we have, say, a little firefight between your guys and mine on the ship? Keep in mind that I wouldn't be very willing to take casualties (since I do only have 12 guys in total, who's characters I do want to build up on). And you could have a large number of untrained militia-like men to go on a frontal assault on my troops. Does that sound ok? Just an idea.

And you could have a large number of untrained militia-like men to go on a frontal assault on my troops. Does that sound ok? Just an idea.

I guess it depends on what you mean by rogue members. You mean gangbangers who are trying to kill the Murkovanians for some reason(Roanapur has no shortage of dumb criminals). I have no problem with it. If they are the later category and they just happen to work for Hotel Lakia as well as serve on that ship, then I'm good with that. Though take heed. Balalaika's response to those who murder or torture her subordinates(especially those that are part of her inner circle or served with her) is to terminate with extreme prejudice. But yeah, you can have your firefight with gangsters.

EDIT: I removed the first part about the possibility of your guys using a Hotel Lakia operated ship because I just remembered that Balalaika wouldn't be too keen on bringing in foreign agents(or possible foreign agents) into Roanapur...especially if they are trying to harm business. Plus, it wouldn't be too smart to ask one of your targets to transport you to their area of operations as there are chances that someone could overhear your plans(though it is ballsy and would be crazy awesome if you pulled it off). The only reason she's allowed the Serdari in is that she believes she can keep them from causing damage to her livelihood and that they are working to take down the Margrave(which helps out her business).

[Sarxland]

In regards to my last post in the IC thread, I just thought I'd open up my faction to interacting with everyone else, feel free to come meet the Vigil, if you want to start up a business relationship that could be quite interesting, (be that you want me to assassinate someone, gather info or whatever I'm happy to do pretty much anything)
