A World Of Crime
P L O T
Riches, fast cars, beautiful women, and the life of an elite one percenter. All of that is available to you, and right in front of you... Provided you can survive this life long enough to get it. As an associate of the Baresi Mafia Family, based in the state of Florida and the entire east coast of the United States, you live a dangerous life that has major rewards ahead should you live long enough to reach them. All of you joined this family for different reasons; as a way to make ends meet, or to repay a debt owed to the mafia, or even for the chance to live a life with plenty of adventure and action. Regardless of your reason for joining, you're here now, and you've been provided your first chance to prove yourself.
One series of heists, deliveries, and other dangerous tasks, all over the world. You will head beyond the borders of the States, to exotic locations such as Shanghai, Paris, Milan, and London. Complete the list of tasks, and you'll be brought into the family as a true Made Man rather than an associate. If you owe any debts, they'll be forgiven, and if it was a better life than you were looking for when you joined, you'll receive it. Of course, that's assuming that you survive to the end. The life of a mafia member is a dangerous one, and it's not hard to end up in prison. Maybe dead. But the prizes are worth the risks, right? Otherwise you wouldn't have signed up for this in the first place.

Welcome to an RP that I hope to run with a different structure than my usual ones. It will probably be a smaller one that depends on a more tight knit group of characters, instead of a large RP with dozens of characters/players. Like you can judge from the above section, you play as a member of the Baresi Mafia Family, a fictional criminal organization based in the southeastern United States. Well, not a member. An associate. There's more benefits for those who are full members, and if you complete the tasks over the course of the RP, you too can become a full time member.
You and the rest of the associates have been given a task to work together on. Actually, it's a series of tasks, spread across the world. Some are hit jobs, others are heists of high profile items, and a few involve delivering something while being under pressure from the authorities or other criminals. Complete these tasks successfully, and you gain entry into the family. Fail, and you'll be jailed or worse. This means that the RP will have a mission based structure with the players deciding how they want to handle each task. Strategy is very important, and can be the deciding factor between success and failure. Do you want to brute force your way through a heist, or use trickery and social engineering to avoid fights? It's up to you.
Most of your characters will have a lot to lose, and everything to gain. They aren't already rich, or powerful. They're regular people, either acknowledging the risks and picking this profession anyway, or being forced into it somehow. With that being said, you'll also unlock access to better equipment during the course of the RP, as the tasks get harder and the pressure is ramped up dramatically. You'll also have to worry about your face being on the world's wanted list, and as the thread goes on, your group will develop more heat around it.
