Newport is a vicious city. People say that someone can live here their entire lives and never even scratch the surface of what really goes on. Drug deals and shootouts are the obvious things, but there are entire meth labs, factories full of slaves working day and night for factions that are no more corrupt than the politicians letting them keep the property. These gangs and groups are nearly all powerful, they do what they want to who they want when they want, and almost no-one questions them.
You play as gang members fighting for control over the dangerous and diverse streets of Newport. From the loud and foul-smelling slums to the high-rises full of scummy lawyers. You come from all areas of life, but one constant is that you fell upon hard times. The economy is in serious recession and you can see it everywhere. Concealed carry permits are given out almost free, as walking alone without one is almost suicide. This is the dangerous world you live in, and your about to take advantage of it for all it's worth.

>Fluff : Faith is a Runner, part of a small group of people who use the tight-knit buildings which are crammed together to traverse the city by rooftops, she and her partners offer their services to get messages and small goods where-ever they wanted, without getting noticed by the police or the gangs.

>Name: Tom Goodman
>Fluff:
Tom, previously known under a different name, was part of an extensive mob back in his home country. Not one of the biggest guys but no small fry either he had earned himself a nice vacation in the city of Newport nearly twenty years ago when he received the call. Everyone had been busted. The cops had shut down the entire thing, someone had talked or they had been tracking everyone, Tom would never know, but there was an arrest warrant for him as well.
With nothing to go back to but jail he decided to stay, building up an existence in Newport over the years, he worked hard in his area of expertise and became known as a serious and honest businessman. With a marriage slowly loosing it's love, a rebellious daughter and a son wishing to take a career in law enforcement he finds himself faced with a number of issues he would rather not have to address.
Tom's business is not drug dealing or gun running. It's power projection. They say money is power, but what good is money if you have no connections? Rich people from all over the city provide the money and Tom ensures that they feel powerful. While he has a number of trustworthy men at his disposal he often relays contracts to other criminals and takes his own mediation fee.
However he does not intend to remain the middleman. While for now his men are not capable of much more than violence Tom is looking to branch out and provide his customers with the thing every true rich man wants. A personal deathsquad of the absolute badass variety.

>Name: Jakob Hawthorn
>Fluff: Unlike many of the gangs within the streets of Newport, the Lords of War have their powerbase in the hills and mountain country surrounding the city.
With the rise in gun violence, the city working with the ATF enacted strict anti-gun laws that pushed the limits of the 2nd amendment (some say unconsitutionally) cracking down heavily on the legal and illegal gun business, closing down gun-stores and firing ranges all over town.
A group of former Biker gangers, Rednecks, Hillbillies and Gun enthusiasts decided to band together, taking their extensive stock of weapons to the hills and mountains, storing them admits the forests and cabins in the woods.
Run by Boss Marcus, the "Gunman", the Lords of War operate as a highly organized illegal weapons manufacturer and smuggling operations, creating, storing, and selling weapons to and for anyone who has a price. In addition to selling to the various other gangs of the city, which both gives them much profit and connections, they operate a system that would allow anyone to keep their gun safe from government confiscation no matter who or what, from antique cannons to stolen military grade weapons.
They don't do much business in the city itself, but are highly and violently territorial, and after many police and ATF expeditions have ended in disaster or failure, some officials have begun to call them "Domestic terrorists and Rebels," coincidentally they actually are a hotspot for neo-confederates.
Jakob Hawthorn is a "storekeeper." That means he is responsible for managing one of the hidden stashes of weapons, both protecting and safeguarding it in its secure position and if compromised it's his responsibility to move the stash to another safezone and protect it all the way there. As a storekeeper he is also responsible for selling weapons to those who are interested in them, and recording and bringing these profits back to the Gang.
He's lived in these hills most of his life in a small local town, and knows these woods well and the terrain. An unashamed redneck his own family has has a history of moonshining during the Prohibition era, and he himself is an avid holder of that torch, creating his own distilleries and spirits both for himself and as an extra profit.
Nothing goes better with buying a new gun than a drink to down while you shoot it.
>Basic Physical Description: Man in his 40s, greyish beard, large build.
>Relation to any gangs within the city: Member of the Lords of War
>Preferred weapon: Belt-Fed Fully Automatics and/or Machine Pistols.

You've all received the message somehow, from a text or an email from a random person to a phone-call to you from a street-phone. And it's always the same message "You have been selected based on your talents. I'm hoping you all understand what I mean." The message then gives the address. "I promise you as much money and power as you can make. You just must be ambitious and resourceful. Thank you for your time"
The message cuts there.
A day later, you all head towards the address. It's a decrepit ice-cream shop with a slightly fifties-esque feeling too it. The windows are shuttered and covered in dust. The street is in the middle of the inner-city slums, it's midday but the street itself is completely deserted asides from yourself and a few other suspicious looking individuals. You can guess that they are all here for the same reason as you, you just have to decide what to do from here.

1/2: Jackie nervously shifts around, constantly feeling to see that he still has his Uzi hidden in his clothes, under the trademark Yellow Jacket he's wearing. He decides to scout the place out, make sure it's not a trap or ambush, see what kinda people are hanging around there and find out a little more about them. One person dead because of my hands is enough for a week…

They don't do much business in the city itself, but are highly and violently territorial, and after many police and ATF expeditions have ended in disaster or failure, some officials have begun to call them "Domestic terrorists and Rebels," coincidentally they actually are a hotspot for neo-confederates.
Jakob Hawthorn is a "storekeeper." That means he is responsible for managing one of the hidden stashes of weapons, both protecting and safeguarding it in its secure position and if compromised it's his responsibility to move the stash to another safezone and protect it all the way there. As a storekeeper he is also responsible for selling weapons to those who are interested in them, and recording and bringing these profits back to the Gang.
He's lived in these hills most of his life in a small local town, and knows these woods well and the terrain. An unashamed redneck his own family has has a history of moonshining during the Prohibition era, and he himself is an avid holder of that torch, creating his own distilleries and spirits both for himself and as an extra profit.
Nothing goes better with buying a new gun than a drink to down while you shoot it.

Inventory- Jakob has an entire stockpile of weaponry at his semi-successful shop. Sadly, almost all of it is under the control of the LOW, and they won't allow any damage or use of the products without either strict supervision or buying the weapon. He's bought a few weapons, but the majority of his shop is owned by the gang. He has no connections with his family, and his only friends are within the gang. With the economy in a depression, guns are not selling as well. He has $15,000 left over. He wears a long black trench coat with modified holsters concealing four handguns and one TAR-21. He has a few more personal guns at home including (but not limited to) an AK-47, M2 Browning Machine Gun, and a 7.62×51mm M40.
Skills- Negotiation +10, Guns +20
Weapons- 2 Modified Ithica 1911's, An AK, an M2 Browning Machine Gun, a 7.62×51mm M40, a Tar-21, and 2 9mm handguns.
Bonuses/Detractors- Redneck (your brothers in red are always ready to help, just call them up and they'll be there. They only last as long as you continue to give them guns though, so be careful) Old-timer (+5 diplomacy to all rolls with people aged 40 and above, -5 to athletics, dexterity and strength based checks, this include melee weapons)

You walk into the shop like you own the place, and are greeted by a surprisingly clean looking place.

You casually saunter over to the place and sit down without a care in the world (+10 to all interactions within this ice-cream shop)

You look around, and you see a skin-head with a nazi armband carrying a gun, a few cars and vans, a guy in a suit casually walking towards the joint, A dirty looking girl with a duffle-bag thing, and an older guy in a dark trench coat
.Asides from those people, there is no one else on the street.

>Name: Tom Goodman
>Fluff:
Tom, previously known under a different name, was part of an extensive mob back in his home country. Not one of the biggest guys but no small fry either he had earned himself a nice vacation in the city of Newport nearly twenty years ago when he received the call. Everyone had been busted. The cops had shut down the entire thing, someone had talked or they had been tracking everyone, Tom would never know, but there was an arrest warrant for him as well.
With nothing to go back to but jail he decided to stay, building up an existence in Newport over the years, he worked hard in his area of expertise and became known as a serious and honest businessman. With a marriage slowly loosing it's love, a rebellious daughter and a son wishing to take a career in law enforcement he finds himself faced with a number of issues he would rather not have to address.
Tom's business is not drug dealing or gun running. It's power projection. They say money is power, but what good is money if you have no connections? Rich people from all over the city provide the money and Tom ensures that they feel powerful. While he has a number of trustworthy men at his disposal he often relays contracts to other criminals and takes his own mediation fee.
However he does not intend to remain the middleman. While for now his men are not capable of much more than violence Tom is looking to branch out and provide his customers with the thing every true rich man wants. A personal deathsquad of the absolute badass variety.
>Basic Physical Description: Pic Related

>Business: Power Projection / Middleman
Physical Toughness (8), Mental Toughness (8)
Inventory- Tom is set up well in Newport. He has a family (albeit not a very happy one), and a large group of connections to the rich. He has around 20,000 saved up that isn't being spent on hiring gangsters and keeping authorities quiet. He also has connections to many mercs and assassins across the city, including Faith.
Skills- Diplomacy+10, Intimidation +20, +5 unarmed.
Weapons- Switchblade, silenced 9mm
Bonuses/Detractors- The Godfather (Others feel respected when he does business with them, +10 to negotiation when talking to another leader) Family man (for every two people under his control, he gains a +1 to all rolls) Ambitious (never stops working, if he's forced into a position he feels isn't living up to his potential he gains a -5 to all rolls until he fixes the problem…)
1-2. Tom would have offered the lawyer a drink, however he had brought nothing in favor of ice cream. A cool head was superior to a drunken fool after all.
"My name is Goodman. But if you prefer you may also call me Tom.", his English was perfect and any accent had been evened out by decades of experience, "Waffle or cup?".
Tom would then serve the Lawyer whatever it was that he would ask for. "I would explain more, however I'm afraid this is far from everyone and I would like to refrain from repeating myself all too often if it can be avoided.".
The old mobster could not get around the lawyers pleasant demeanor and suit, obviously he was used to interacting with members of the high class. One of the many reasons he had been chosen. "Rest assured however that I have no intention to ambush or screw you over in any way and that you may leave at any time you wish to do so.", he made a short pause, "Though I have to say, you are remarkably relaxed.".

I can think off 3 possibilities, You ned us for a one off mission, and want me to provide legal assistance and distraction as necessary.

A few of the "nerdy white dudes" turn around indignantly, but the one behind the carpet seems much too focused on his own thoughts to be surprised. After a second he turns to you and says "I'm giving you a chance, please be respectful of the other patrons and listen quietly."

The server scans the room, and seeing that everyone is situated he puts down the cup he was holding.
"I've always wanted to say this… So you're probably all wondering why I called you here today? You are all people of incredibly different backgrounds and talents, but I'm hoping that you will be able to work together very, very well. I've been in this business for years, and have been wanting to organize a group capable of working jobs, and working them well. If this idea intrigues you, please stay.

"Anyways, I'll get down to brass tax"
He steps from behind the counter and begins to speak; "so we have many ways to continue from here, I've already explained that we can either be a for-hire group or a gang. I already have some jobs that might interest you all. There's a classic bank job for the Russians, we get a 10% cut. That'll probably land us around one million. The Wise Guys also contacted me about a pretty heavy hit, they want the Chinese out of the drugs business. The Chinese have a factory downtown full of their slaves constantly working on whatever they cook down there and the Italians want it gone. I think they promised around one and a half million for it. But of course, we could always just decide to work for ourselves. It's up to you. I'll warn you all one more time though, we work for ourselves we become a target, and that means danger for everyone involved. Especially if you have your own affiliations. Think it over."

Well, as resident Attorney here, Unless you expect me to actually take part in theses Theoretical "Heists" or in the gang proper, I will wait outside. After all I can't perjure myself or anyone else if I'm not directly involved. Which gives me a much better chance of actually being helpful. Just tell me when and where you need me and what you want me to do.

Dude. You aren't handcrafting those things are you? Because otherwise no one is going to tell if they were sold from your gun shop or any other. Hell, I doubt the bank tellers are going to be able to tell the differences between the various brands and makes beyond OH GOD THEY HAVE GUNS!

He looks around the room one last time.
"Well then, glad to see that all of you decided to stay. The bank is off of Fourth and Main, simple three counter underground vault system. Estimated a few mil inside at least. Security isn't exactly lax but that's why we have Q. I'll let you all do the scouting and what not. If you need me, here's my number."
He hands each of you a small business card with a 12 digit number on it
"When and if you complete the job, bring the cash here and we'll deal with shares or what not, the russians have also previously stated that they would provide support if needed"

1.2. My job will be to find us the best route in and out of the bank with a minimum amount of fuss. So lets gets to that. Buddy up with Q to see if she can get me blueprints of the place as well as camera placements and the like, then I'll go scout it out personally. Gotta keep in mind I'm escorting a bunch of walkers of course so the route I pick has to be low on the amount of freerunning it takes.
