The Ricci Family
One of the Fantasma Five.

The Fantasma Five originated in New York's East Harlem, Lower East Side, and Brooklyn in the late 1800's. They grew from impoverished Italian-American neighborhoods, once being apart of the Sicilian Mafia but eventually expanding and creating their own unique brand. Originally beginning their story with five appointed Mafia Don's, these men became well known as some of the most ruthless criminals of their time. Their family names went on to brand the Fantasma Five as a familial unit, multiple generations born and coming of age among their ranks; in modern times the Fantasma are ruled by the five head families who are great grandchildren, grandchildren, and some children of the original Fantasma Don's. Under their rule the Fantasma Give had thousands of mafia members working for them, and operations all over the globe that keep them feared and in power. Their home base remains New York, where the main families can generally be found, but instead of living impoverished they live lavishly after decades of fighting to be the top dogs in the business of mob life. The Ricci family at one such family, their great grandfather the third Fantasma Don to be sworn into the Famiglia, they're well revered for their prowess in business and incredible family genes. Currently, there are ten Ricci children that have taken over New York's club scene, turning it into an elusive and lucrative sex trafficking scheme, while all the while dipping their toes in big pharma, insurance scams, illegal arms deals and drug running for cross border sales. As opposed to their counterparts, the Ricci's are known to fight smarter not harder, and hold a monopoly in info brokerage and New York's socialite society. They work closes with the Esposito family, Estelle Ricci having once been an Esposito, who are known for their political prowess.

The three other Fantasma families are as follows: Bianchi, the first sworn in family and are known for loansharking and control over New York's gambling scheme, as well as owning hundreds of casino's country wide. They're brutal, and have the highest body count out of all the families. Then there is Mancini, up to their elbows in financial crimes such as stock market scams, embezzlement from their own companies, mortgage frauds and more. Not highly sought out by other mobsters, but dangerous nonetheless. Lastly the De Luca family, last to be sworn in and a far smaller family than the previous four they've taken control of the drug trade and work alongside the Ricci's to accomplish given goals. Cocaine is their drug of choice, and their brilliancy is only matched by the Ricci's themselves. Below are active Ricci family members, and a little bit of information about them.

Nio Patrizio Ricci, eldest Ricci child at age 30 and the heir to the Ricci dynasty. He lived most of his life abroad in Italy training to take over as head of the family, second to his father Domerico Ricci, and he is a force to be reckoned with. As sharp as a whip and unwilling to let anything get in the way of his success, his only flaw is his love and loyalty for his family members. Standing at five foot nine with darker features, a lilted smile, and a taste for the finer things Nio appears intimidating but he can be rather reasonable despite rumors perpetuating him as a cruel leader. He returned the New York at the age of seventeen to take over a lower faction of Fantasma Mafia members and led them well, only receiving good feedback and genuine loyalty in return, a natural born leader who only wishes to make his family proud. Nio generally works out of the family estate on the Upper East Side of New York.

Spoiler: Portrait

Darling Bellisa Ricci, second eldest Ricci child at 29, owner / manager of Fantasma Clubs and Lofters Rentals. It was expected of her to enter into an arranged marriage right out of high school, but with a mean streak a mile long and a personality that would not befit that of a house wife she fought her parents and the Fantasma tooth and nail to obtain a higher position in the family business. She completed her masters in Business and Accounting at the age of 24, took on a manager position of one of the Fantasma clubs and slowly expanded until she was running a full blown sex trafficking scheme under New York PD's nose. She's ruthless, one of the most ruthless members of the Fantasma, known as one of the few Ricci's to have actually gotten her hands bloody as a means to an end Darling is willing to do anything to prove her worth and keep the power she's worked so hard to obtain.

Spoiler: portrait

Doe Vera Ricci, the third eldest Ricci sibling at age 27 and the strangest of the lot hands down. Doe was born a selective mute, and though her parents were convinced she were deaf, even going so far as to teach her to communicate with sign language early on, Doe turned out to be an incredible trickster. It wasn't until she was nine that she spoke her first word, clear as a bell without any mistake in pronunciation; a watcher, a thinker, someone who analyzes before making any sort of decision Doe may appear to be the weakest link due to her demure personality but out of the ten children she's certainly one of the more dangerous. As the old saying goes, there's always a calm before the storm. She was married off at age eighteen to a famous Italian model, Stefano Regio, and though things appeared to be fine on the outside Stefano was heavily abusive and Doe continues to suffer at his hands. She's mentally strong, though, and has moved on to invest in and open her own Jewelry business; Ricci Jewelers, where she spends the majority of her time tending to the Upper East Side socialites, attendning their gala's and soiree's, befriending their elites and gathering information to leak back to the Fantasma. What they do with that information is not known to Doe.

Spoiler: portrait

Carlisle Caprice Ricci, fourth eldest at age 25 and the CEO of Ricci Law firms. He's his father's favorite, hands down, simply because he's the one constantly digging his family and the Fantasma out of court battles with his incredible knowledge of the legal system, and his back door deals that do more good than bad. As wonderful as he seems to be on the outside, however, Carlisle lives a double life as a rather volatile, wildly impulsive party animal. After a childhood filled to the brim with impossible expectations, having to push his way through law school to please his family, never having a choice in the matter he's genuinely the softest of the Ricci children; though he hides as much with incredible acting skills. If not found at his offices, Carlisle can generally be seen hanging around Fantasma clubs.

Spoiler: portrait

Giovanni Sergio Ricci, or Gio for short is one half of the twin pair at age 24. Smack dab in the middle of the family Gio showed talent alongside his sister for the dirtier side of mob life early on.

Giovanni specifically deals with assassinations, investigations of mob violence, money collection and any hits that are paid forward to the Ricci family. He is enrolled in University as a General Arts and Science's student as a cover and proper alibi, and lives in a loft in the Upper East side with his sister. They both run a faction of the Fantasma mob as Boss' and are known to be no nonsense.

Spoiler: portrait

Gianna Pia Ricci, or Gia for short, is the second half of the twin pair at age 24. Just like her brother Gio, Gia was adopted into the Ricci family after losing her parents who were once Fantasma members to a drive by shooting, and has been raised to fight and kill and protect the Ricci family at all costs. She's well known for one thing and one thing only; information extraction and torture. Gianna is also enrolled in University as an alibi, but she genuinely enjoys her closest, and artist by trade she hopes to one day break away from this path decided for her and become a freelance artist to pave her own way in life. Unfortunately for now, her days are filled with nightmarish scenes that she's responsible for. Gia is no nonsense like her brother, but far more inclined to make friends and try to enjoy her life outside the mob life.

Spoiler: portrait

Cassidy Montay Ricci, the brains of the operation at age 22 he works side by side with Darling more often than not and meets with the Ricci families allies, investors, partners and buyers as the face of the operation. He's smart, smarter than anyone would ever give his pretty face credit for, and for this his mother has raised him to be Nio's second hand man when he takes over as head of family. Cassidy keeps in touch with hundreds of people on a daily basis, controlling the ebb and flow of information and being sure to keep top secret information just that; top secret. He's not particularly powerful in any lethal way, but that's why he has Darling by his side nearly 24/7. If anything were to go awry for the family, all eyes would turn to Cassidy simply because he'd already have a plan cooking. Sarcastic to a fault, a good cook, and a lover of cats Cassidy is a pretty normal guy if it weren't for his criminal inclinations.

Spoiler: portrait

Winnie Alegra Ricci, the beloved tragedy of the Ricci family Winnie was in school to be a nurse and genuinely wished to aid her family in any way possible. A sweet soul with a heart of gold, she would be there for any of her siblings at the drop of a dime and was the glue for the lot of them. Unfortunately she met a horrifying end due to suicide, or what the cops had deemed suicide. Cassidy, who she'd been closest with, isn't so sure and the truth is coming eerily within his reach. ( If you want to write with Winnie before she died, feel free to IM me! )

Spoiler: portrait

Emilia Ambrosia Ricci, another first half of a twin pair and the youngest of the family at age 19 Emilia is genuinely the bane of her parents existence. A grifter, a social media star, a liar and an amazing con artist she travels more often than not and rakes in millions of dollars all by simply being beautiful. She has a deep hand in connection between the Ricci family and upper socialite scenes, and tends to build strong bonds to aid her families belonging in those communities. She's still a fucking shit though, that much is for sure.

Spoiler: portrait

Niccola Baldassario Ricci, twin to Emilia and the youngest at 19 he is the true baby of the family. He's a hacker, a good one at that. He's in school currently, and the only Ricci that doesn't live at home anymore due to his hatred for being the youngest and just not wanting to be babied by his siblings on a constant basis. He does all the online work around for his parents and works with other Fantasma hackers on a daily basis to compile lists of information, hack into important systems and keep their systems secure from outside sources.
