AND HERE'S V3 OF THE ROSALES PLOTTING, MY FRIENDS

With the previous plotter and business listing archived, it's my turn to set things up :plottingllama:

The cool new business listing is now located here. Things are a little bit blurry right now with well, a lot of changes since the last change of leaderships and a few business listings going into the archives but have no fear! We'll get on that soon enough!

The gang will primarily work on illicit gambling, extortion, shady clubs here and there, along with profits gained from alliances, but will remain be open to other activities. Following after the founder, the gang will be still be open to welcoming other criminal activities so there will be more opportunities to pursue — so as long as it is beneficial to the gang's success, of course. The gang doesn't focus much on the smuggling of drugs and other illegal shipments but that's another thing.

If some of your characters like to join the gang, become associates, or have them become rivals or potential threats (or not potential at all, like some wannabe who thinks they can hold themselves up against a gang) — if so, then you're in the right place! There's also a thread especially made for crime and law enforcement plotting for more dynamic underground activities in the city. Feel free to throw me a DM as well if you're feelin' it!

Going back to the main topic: The Rosales gang is always open for positions to fill up. Note that not all the positions available would be necessarily illegal — some legal businesses can be used by the gang mostly as fronts, meeting places, or other things. Some no-name criminals are also free to join if you want 'em to. If your character doesn't have any previous crime experience but still wants to take part, training is offered. Positions are also available for less shady positions that aren't outwardly awful if your character wouldn't mind the blood money they'll be earning but concerned enough to keep a relatively 'clean' reputation.

With Klaus and Vito gone, and almost all of the Rosales kids taken in by Angelo, what's left of the leadership lies with the last Rosales child to remain in the gang, Invidia Rosales to be the new Kingpin [sub](hecking RIP my son)[/sub]. If anyone would want to come forward as one of their dad's contacts, or approach as a new one, that would be GREAT. Please save him. Positions to become Invidia's right and left hands are open (mainly with consideration of his IC introduction into the family to assist him with leadership) as well as a position for advisor.

N/A




Right Hand : The right hand is on equal footing with the left hand. The right hand deals with more active things within the gang. Interpersonal conflicts, punishments, and the like.
Left Hand : The left hand is on equal footing with the right hand. The left hand deals with external dealings such as with gang allies and diplomatic relations.
Advisor : The advisor works closely with the boss, giving insight into situations. The advisor deals with much of the paperwork and legitimate businesses involved with the gang.

Spy Ring : The spy ring are informers, bookies, or anyone dealing within the interworkings of other people and helping to get the gang information that they can use to blackmail others or keep their people from getting arrested or, worse, murdered.
Medics : Medics are self-explanatory. They're generally on retainer and are free to work as actual doctors in other businesses so long as they're willing to be on call to the gang.
Ceremony : This section of the gang is newly added as a way to get good credit within the community. Members in this section of the guild work more in acting, community work, and catering. They're the face, in a way, something that makes this life look glamorous and less dubious.
Research & Development : Another new section within the gang focused on weapon maintenance, potion creation, along with other magic studies to keep the gang up to the latest technology and magical science.
Bruisers : Bruisers deal in the muscle work of the gang, whether that be hauling things from one place to another, torturing someone, being on the front lines of an attack, bodyguarding/babysitting, or guarding choice locations.

NGL Enzo would be interested in a meet up with Vidi, although I can't say if he'll become anything or even what he'd be. :' )

That sounds fucking amazing. ALSO NGL, Hypes, I think Enzo would sympathize with Vidi's freak out/not knowing how to do things.

I've got two babes for you! Both who desperately need some plots.

The first is Panaria O'deus, my shape shifting and mind-reading demon child of lust. Through Eliana, they became connected to the Rosales at the beginning of the year but I have basically done nothing with that. The change of leadership would be a good time for them to become more involved. They are definitely someone to approach Invidia and make themselves known. If nothing else, I'd like them added to the informant list.

Next is Pip the Birthday Fairy. I created this character with a very ambiguous background. They own the largest cupcake business on the island and one of their shop locations is in the underground. I imagine all sorts of smuggling and such activities may be going on here. Pip would always help the Rosales with birthday celebrations but they hadn't approached Klaus about business yet. Again, change of leadership is something this little fairy would definitely take advantage of.

Both their apps (linked under my babies) are pretty quick reads if you are interested. Let me know your thoughts!

O HI @beloved

Yes, I do also agree that the change in leadership is something one could take advantage of >:3c

I'll gladly add Panaria onto the informant list! If you want, we could try hammering down a few details about their association to the family both prior to the change in leadership and the current. They could have at least spent a few months working for Klaus if they had started a year so I could imagine they've at least had some business with the gang already even before Invidia finally stepped up to take his place and the things that could probably get us to :0

As for Pip what a lil cute— hmmm a company CEO sounds like a good contact, as harmless as the business kinda sounds. Who knows? I could list them under contacts, unless you would prefer PipsCake and Co to be a connected business altogether? Or that could be something that could be established in the near future, what, with new things going on for the gang itself. Speaking of celebrations, this could probably impact that bit on Pip's dynamic with the gang; the other kids are sort of out of the house and I can't quite imagine throwing a Rosales-style party with the current set-up, and Invidia's not one for constant parties either. Oooh, sounds like something to discuss?

We could probably smoothen things better in Discord! But I'm rather interested in both parties :D

I got an innocent character, who try to follow the myriad of laws, rules and other regulations, though he just don't understand all of them, some may even seem outright wrong. Do you have any grunt position, especially the kind which tag graffiti to mark territory and protecting said territory? Because those are two things a former dog like Noah understands all to well. Then maybe gradually finding his place

On another note, Fight Club could use friends. In return, they could offer their best (aka, less ruined) buildings for meetings on neutral grounds should The Rosales and another party need it and then protection during their stay.

Hmmm okay so @Shadowborn, graffiti is one of the things I haven't really considered tbh 8|c Putting him as a grunt seems fair, though I can't really say tag graffiti would be under the options. IC wise, you'll probably need to give me some more details on that, because I can't exactly see why they would end up being involved with the gang at the moment :?

As for the Fight Club, l-lmao. I feel like the Rosales might be more interested with the muscle his group could offer rather than the location opportunities. If that works for you? I'd imagine the Rosales would seem more generous and won't really demand immediate return for whatever they'll give back in an alliance like keeping the authorities off their tracks or those sorts of stuff? We can refine this further, or figure out something else, unless this set up seems sound to you already. What do you think?

Yeah, I wasn't sure the Rosales would go for it, but i figured I could try.


I does sound good, though if you would like the founder Tao , could personally offer to help Vidi.

@Shadowborn Yeah, mm, I'd think Vidi works more strictly, so he's not gonna randomly pick up people for the gang for no reason

So what way do you mean for Tao though?
