PLEASE DO NOT JOIN IF YOU ARE LIKELY TO BE OFFENDED BY EITHER OF THESE THINGS.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]We worked for the Morelli crime family. This job, supposedly my last, was set up by the Big Man himself, Jimmy Morelli. The Boss.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]We got a crew of six together. We were slick, too. We practiced the job for hours, planning it for weeks, waiting for that one perfect moment to strike. Every aspect of the job was perfect.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]We knew things wouldn't go perfect in the real thing. You can't plan civilian reactions, you can't gauge the amount of panic that is going to be coursing through their veins, you can't plan for some jackass to overdose on adrenaline and try to play the hero. We were prepared for a few casualties.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]But we weren't expecting it to go so far south so quickly. Something went wrong, someone screwed up, and people got hurt. Too many people.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]We managed to get to the rendezvous alright, albeit arriving slowly and a lot more staggered than we had planned, but I for one intend to find out what went wrong.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]Things are gonna get real ugly.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]---[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]Welcome to Natural Born Criminals. As you may have been able to tell, this RP is more than a little influenced by the Quentin Tarantino movie Reservoir Dogs, and that theme is going to continue throughout the story.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]First things first. This RP is going to contain violence, as well as a fair amount of swearing. If you cannot handle either of these things, then please don't join, as you are going to be offended.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]Next off, the story. Put very simply, we are criminals. And we are in trouble. A job went wrong, one of our number is injured, perhaps mortally. Something went wrong during the job, and we intend to find out. This will happen through a series of detailed flashbacks, which will contain the main expositions of the RP. Between these flashbacks will be parts of the story occuring in the present, which will include us trying to find out what made the job go sour. You will need to be a skilled writer and be able to keep up with complex stories to do well in this RP. I also want dedication. I'm not saying that I want everyone to check the thread every day, as I know that this would be impossible with people's busy schedules, but try and keep on top of it as it progresses.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]People will die in this RP, but even if you die right near the start, chances are you will appear during the flashbacks. If you are taken out of the present-day storyline, you will still get a chance to write in the past.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]This RP will be set out in chapters. I know that this is a turn-off for some of you, but in my opinion it is the only way to make a story like this work properly. However, these chapters will be fairly loose, often only being one long post from a single person. I will be doing this in a style reminiscent of Kill Adam.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]I will be inputting certain parts of the story when I see fit, but apart from those, this RP is yours. I want you to create a dark, grimy world of intrigue and betrayal. But I do ask that you respect the ideas of other writers. If, at any point, you wish to kill off another character, please PM me as well as that player to ask permission.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]And, without further ado, onto the characters:[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]There are six members of this group:[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2][b]Mr Black[/b] - played by myself[/size][/font][/color] [b][color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]Mr White - [/size][/font][/color][/b][color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]played by Ezekiel[/size][/font][/color] [b][color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]Mr/Mrs Purple[/size][/font][/color][/b] [b][color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]Ms Green - [/size][/font][/color][/b][color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]played by Astdis[/size][/font][/color] [b][color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]Mr Scarlet - [/size][/font][/color][/b][color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]played by Andrew[/size][/font][/color] [b][color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]Mr Silver - [/size][/font][/color][/b][color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]played by Gavin[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]You will not reveal your real name during the sign-up stage of this story. You may reveal it during the RP itself, but only during flashbacks. Revealing your name to any other member of the group is totally against principle of the Morelli Crime Family.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]All I need from you in terms of a sign-up is this:[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2][b]Codename:[/b] these are given[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2][b]Appearance:[/b] a photograph of your appearance, or a detailed description. Both would be excellent. But no cartoon images, please, I want real people. And a headshot is probably easier than a full-body shot.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2][b]Personality:[/b] make this up, a couple of paragraphs, and please vary it from the other players. I want six very different characters in this RP. Think Reservoir Dogs/general Quentin Tarantino[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2][b]In One Sentence:[/b] give a description of your character as a whole, but in one short sentence.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]All other personal information will be kept secret from the other players, but I would ask you to write it down somewhere, so you know your own personal information from the beginning.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]I know that I haven't given a very detailed description of what is going down, but I want to add to the mystery of it all. Once I have chosen the five other players involved, I will PM you all with your starting place, whether it is the injured person with me at the rendezvous, or someone who will arrive later.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]The Underground thread is now also open, so please post any questions/comments/ideas for this RP right there.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]As long as there isn't anything else, have fun becoming a criminal![/size][/font][/color] [/center]

[SIZE=1][CENTER][B]Codename:[/B] Mr White
[B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://bestof.provocateuse.com/show/carmine_giovinazzo][link][/URL]
[B]Personality:[/B] Mr White generally tries to get on with the rest of the group. He's witty and has a quick tongue, this coming from his English heritage, and knows how to throw a harsh insult or two. Despite his snappy remarks and loud mouth, he somehow manages to make a large network of friends. He's an infectiously likeable guy that has connections in all levels of society, though he'll only ever refer to them as 'very good friends'. He prides himself in never having been in a brawl or very serious argument, though in light of recent events has been a little edgier than usual.

His happy go lucky attitude will only stretch so far though, and if pushed to the right extent Mr White can certainly dish it out.


[I]Mr White is, in summary, the kind of man that will insult your mother with a cheery grin on his face and his halo tipping only slightly to one side. Service with a smile.[/I][/CENTER]


I know you have a Mr White application...but something is really drawing me to that codename. If you want me to change then I gladly will.[/SIZE]

[center][b] [color=White][u][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=3]Mr Black[/size][/font][/u][/color] [/b] [/center] [b][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2][color=White] [/color][/size][/font][/b][center][b][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2][color=White]Codename: Mr Black[/color][/size][/font] [/b] [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2][color=White][b] Appearance:[/b] Contrary to his codename, Mr Black is far from black. He has pale white skin, and light brown hair, which is usually left hanging just over his face. His eyes are a sparkling, crystal blue, and give him a relatively innocent appearance, something which is entirely misleading as to his character. His chin is often covered by a slight shading of stubble, and he is rarely seen without a cigarette in his mouth.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2][color=White] His shoulders are extremely broad, so much so that he barely needs elbow padding in his suit jacket to bulk him up. His arms and legs are muscular, but not so much that he looks like a bodybuilder. His frame is covered by a black designer suit, complete with white shirt and black tie, and he wears dark glasses over his eyes a lot of the time.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2][color=White][b] Personality:[/b] On the surface, Black seems to be the epitome of cool. He rarely speaks five words when three will do, and he never raises his voice past normal speaking tone. He is laid-back, and takes everything in his stride, usually merely passing a sly, sarcastic comment as he goes.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2][color=White] But if you scratch the surface, Black is very different. He has deep psychological scars dating back to his childhood, and, as such, is considered to be mentally unstable by police psycholigists. He has a history of unprovoked violence and an apparent love of torture. The majority of the criminal underworld know and fear him as a dangerous psychopath. They warn others to avoid him at all costs. Fortunately, he usually hides these psychological problems under thick layers of a cool, calm demeanour.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2][color=White][b] In One Sentence:[/b] The Cool, Calm, Psychopathic Killer[/color][/size][/font] [/center]

[Astdis]

[COLOR=DarkGreen][B]Codename:[/B] Ms Green

[B]Appearance: [/B] [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b159/luckywrit/killer.jpg[/IMG]

[B]Personality:[/B] She was obviously raised in a high-class environment from the way she carries herself and behaves in social situations. But her natural rebel is perceptible in her blatant flirting and her motorcycle. She?s a tease most of the time, attractive and fun but has nasty reflexes and a deadly aim. Her few friends are the ones who know how lethal she could be and tend to be risky in their own right.
She?s never been arrested and as far as anyone knows she?s never been to a physiatrist. She?s calculating and slippery. Strategy and fighting are her favorite hobbies.

[B]In One Sentence:[/B] "Her lips tasted like a loaded gun: enticing yet dangerous..." (- unknown)[/COLOR]

[Andrew]

[B]Codename:[/B] [COLOR=Red]Mr. Scarlet[/COLOR]

[B]Appearance: [/B]
[img]http://www.sinema.com/pic/kisiler/c/christian_bale_150.jpg[/img]

[B]Personality:[/B] [COLOR=Red]A natural criminal born and bred. Raised to steal, kill and God knows what else to get his way in life by his father, Scarlet walks with a slight swagger and his smirk suggests a certain flair. Scarlet’s deceptive skills are indeed impressive and he can talk is way out of almost any situation. And in those cases when talking doesn’t work, he’s not bad at tearing off a few heads instead.

Very much a comedian, Scarlet always manages to see the funny side of every situation. He’s in no way shy when it comes to the ladies and can seemingly turn on a smouldering charm that can heat any woman’s blood. People often become uncomfortable around Scarlet, his screwy, in-your-face personality managing to get under their skin, yet they speak of him highly when talking to others. [/COLOR]

[B]In One Sentence:[/B] [COLOR=Red]The enigmatic, sleek, smouldering and sly ladies man.[/COLOR]

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2] [/size][/font][center][color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]Alrighty, people, I'm liking the sign-ups so far. Jamie, Andrew and Astdis, you are all in. Which means we have a White, a Black, a Green and a Scarlet, meaning we still need a Purple and a Silver.[/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]Then we can get this thing on the road![/size][/font][/color] [color=White][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=2]Keep those sign-ups coming in![/size][/font][/color] [/center]

[Gavin]

[SIZE=1][b]Codename:[/b] Mr Silver

[b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://english.pravda.ru/img/idb/russell-crowe.jpg]Silver[/url].

[b]Personality:[/b] It's the laugh that will creep people out, a kind of demented cackle that comes out wherever and whenever Silver finds himself amused by something, it could be a person, an article in a newspaper, a comic, it doesn't matter really, if he finds it amusing, you can guarantee that laugh will come. Some will think it's a farce, a shield to redirect people's attention away from something that does interest him, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, nobody knows except Silver, and he's not very forthcoming on the issue. He'll jump down beside you on the couch and start talking, could be about anything, as there seems to be very few subjects he's not versed on, I've heard people say there's a fine line between genius and madness, Silver seems to walk that line and occasionally skip into whichever side takes his fancy.

I know to be scared of him, he gets that look in his eyes sometimes, like a guy looking into a barrel as if there's nothing there, as if he's wrapped in some kind of shield that makes him invincible. He gets that same look when he's the one holding the gun, as if having someone's life in his hands is just some kind of joke, a game which he can play at his convenience. I wonder if life is better from his perspective, if the world looks any different. His levity isn't contagious, in fact I'd say it nearly serves to put people on edge, as if he's too happy, but when he's angry, when the laughs stop, then the killing starts, that's when blood will pour in gallons, and afterwards, he'll just start smiling again.

[b]In One Sentence:[/b] The man has no fear, and will die laughing. [/SIZE]
