I think I spent my ONLY free night on it. And I spent wayyyy too much time looking for the playlist because a bitch has no common sense and doesn't know to start from the BEGINNING.I may or may have not done the same
But if we need more males I can make another character too. I'll wait to see if anyone else signs up
On the basis of characters, I'm gonna wait as well. But if there's no more interest for awhile, y'all are up dafuq.

You THOUGHT. I finally made up my mind and decided on the 50's because of the Second World War ending just some years prior and how it'd impact some of our characters. But I think a mob boss would be fine under either era. There's still a tie though lmfao.
And no, you don't. I guess it just kinda became a trend.

I personally think the Prohibition is what fits your club better in terms of setting, and mood. It could be very well a speakeasy gentleman's club. That exclusivity, and the hidden passageways and all manner of things they used to do to hide away the booze..
If we go with the 1950's I'm going to HAVE to place him higher in the mafia. Two reasons: 1.) After Prohibition ended the lucrative trade of bootlegging dried up, obviously. So they looked elsewhere. Where? Las Vegas. The mob practically founded Las Vegas. And Las Vegas was really just starting to become THE place to go to win big--or so many believed. 2.) Your set in New York. As Capo, I can't leave my post. If I am to overlook operations of a casino, then that's all I can do.
So, what I'll have to do is either make him a Don, or an Underboss at the very least. I didn't want to make him super high up on the power scale cause then he just seems overpowered in terms of his connections and sway. Plus an Underboss or a Don at your club is going to draw a LOT of attention. Good and bad. His level off notoriety alone would be enough to have cops and the FBI crawling all over the city--and people are naturally inclined to almost make celebrities out of The Cosa Nostra because they were such a big part of why the Prohibition failed in the end. Because people were still getting booze. Its like the way Weed is today. People want something they are gonna find a way to get it, just how it is. Human nature and all that.
But that's my two cents. It's your story, you want 1950's, it is going to be the 1950's. I'm just saying if my character walks into your club, your character needs to respond like its a big thing. Cause you have a mob boss, aka automatic VIP member, walking into your establishment that's known to be very violent if his patience wears thin, and he's most likely not going to be alone or unarmed. Cause the justice system may have stamped out automatic rifles--but semi-automatic handguns are free game and easily concealable. And you don't want to go frisking him for guns. One it shows disrespect and to a man all about respect, honor, and loyalty--that tells him you don't trust him enough to act accordingly. And you just don't disrespect old school mobsters. You just don't.
Moreover, he doesn't even need a gun to be dangerous. His nickname Scarface isn't because he has a scar on his face as Capone did. It's because of his methodology of dealing with people. He gets the name because when someones wrong him, he will take them to a room, have them put down in a chair and held there, then heats up a knife until its nice and glowing orange and he burns an imprint of the knife into their face scarring and making them identifiable as someone who's made their first mistake with him. With Nico, he doesn't do three strikes. He warns you, then marks you--then you turn up somewhere buried, sometimes alive sometimes dead--it depends on how vindictive he is at that moment. And a new house suddenly is built over top your body. Imagine that, right?
But he'll do these kinds of brutal, startlingly vicious things to his Picciotto, Sgarrista, and Capodecimas if they get out of line. And don't think for a second that if he sees a guy harassing a woman he won't step in. He'll be amicable about it, and calm--at first. But if the man won't lay off her or leave her alone he's going to show him a good time in a not so good way--like using a mallet that's meant to tenderize hard sides of beef to crush all the bones in one of his hands and he's going to make the man watch as he does it, and tape his mouth shut so tight no one is gonna hear him screaming in pure, unadulterated agony. And Nicos going to enjoy it. Every bone pop, every fingernail that comes off, all of it. He's a man not afraid to get his hands dirty. But you really have to push him to that extreme level. Hurting women by slapping her, shoving her is an instant branding and if he sees you again, you are a dead man. No ands, ifs, or buts.
You get branded and you go anywhere he's at, even if it is coincidental, the police will not find your body he will surely guarantee it.
He's a humble man, really. Cordial, polite--you respect him he respects you there won't be an issue. The minute you bring his sincerity into question, however, there will be a great deal of tension as he will feel like his manners aren't good enough for you and that you think you are superior to him and he doesn't appreciate that at all. Like his quote says "You get a lot farther with a gun and a smile--than just a smile alone." I think that about sums up what Nicos about.
I'll get to his history here in just a short while. It will make a clear understanding as to why he as not only being a gentleman but as just a man in general, takes affront to a woman being accosted and harassed or hurt in any manner. He didn't have a happy childhood, he certainly didn't have a picture perfect family and it led to him being what is. Asocial, violent, protective, gentlemanly, and cruel. Now, if the Godfather of the family tells him to kill a woman or a family--he will do it. But he will always send orders to the Capodecima/Caporegime (lieutenants) and they send the orders to the Sgarristas and Picciotto's to do the job because while he will not defy the Code or the Family, he has...standards. And one is never to bring harm to a woman with his own two hands. He'll kill the father, no problem. But the wife, the kids--that's not the kind of blood he wants on his hands or conscious.
He's very complex if somewhat contradictory character. However, I'll get to his history in a bit. May have to add a few years to age as well. I don't want to make him too old cause then he won't have a chance with the gals. But he has to old enough and wise enough to be an underboss. After all, underbosses are often groomed to take over for a Don or Godfather depending on his reputation with his Family.
Phew, that was a long explanation!

Okay, I think you're taking this almost TOO seriously. And though your devotion is highly admirable, not all rp's are entirely historically accurate- it leaves no room for creativity. Besides, there are other ways to "weaken" your character, and from the looks of it, he has not very emotional weaknesses nor mental- save for the fact that he's impulsive and violent at times. But what mob boss isn't? I suggest enforcing more of your own ideas rather than having the Godfather of Scarface be your muse. Don't get me wrong, they're incredible works of art and I love both whole heartedly AND the fact that you've used them. But personally, I feel your character is much better off having a few eccentric quirks here and there, and being a person of his own rather than a mirroring image, y'know? And I LOVE the fact that he has this whole "respect women" thing going on but that doesn't need to be repeated all of the time. Besides, I quite adore the idea of having a mob boss being put in his place by not only Mikey- but by several other people. After all, Mikey's the heart of the club, hurt him and you'll have people from all over raging. Making enemies in New York wouldn't be so smart for a Don, I think we could all agree on that.
Also, the main reasons why I'm leaning more towards the 50's is because of the harshness of the Second World War. And the influx of new technology/music media along with the civil rights movements. I feel like it'd be an empowering decade for all of them as painful as the previous ones were. However, the 20's would suit it as well, since speakeasies were rather popular, but I like the fact that Mikey's would be not the ONLY one, but one of those eccentric, rare, last remaining ones which is why, again, I'm leaning towards the 50's. The 20's however would be suited as well considering these types of things are popular. And we have the Great Depression of course, which would be a struggle for all parties. It'd tell a tale of misery and unity alike. But so would the other decade, with a tinge of empowerment. I guess it all depends on how dark or light you guys want the plot to be.

Okay, so I think it's clear now that the 1950's will be the designated era. It won in the votes by just one, os it was a tight race. Though, I'm a little confused because there's seven votes in total and only five of us LMFAO WHO VOTED I JUST WANNA TALK. But seriously, thanks for that.
Does anyone have any input/questions/ concerns that they'd like to share?
I think I'll just wait for one more male character and then close it until we're ready to start recruiting again, that sound good?

I dunno actually, it seems as though we have more than enough females at the moment. Maybe once we start recruiting again you can join?
@Daemon Also, are you still interested in this? If not than it's fine. I just need to know who's in or nah before I start working on the introduction.
Better yet, everyone who's still in say "Aye" ya girl needs the organization.
