La Nostra Famiglia

[CarryOut]

Paul Esposito was a man of his word, so when he told his father that he was going to be the boss one day, he meant it. Time passed and Paul found himself garnering the trust and respect of the men throughout Italy, and finally put his foot down to take over the reigns of the mafia from his ailing father [Redacted]. With many goals in mind to expand and nurture the family legacy, he kept the ultimate goal in mind always. The ultimate goal? Respect, but not just for him or for his blood, but for any who swore the oath to uphold the name of the family. Respect was not something requested, it was demanded. Under Paul's leadership the mafia was able to thrive. There was power, money, gratitude, respect, and the most important of all... family. Internal jobs were conducted with minimal loss, and each completion added to the circle of influence. Connections were quickly established with external organizations and the extended family was able to grow once worth was proven. What more was there for the mafia that had everything in Italy? Perhaps it was time to set it's sights elsewhere..

Informants were slowly scattered throughout the country in hopes of finding new locations. When that failed to yield results, they expanded throughout Europe, starting with France. France did not yield amazing results so the Mafia continued through to Germany, Norway, and even Spain. There would always be another country and another city to send associates to, and no place was out of reach for the family. 

Jace Tribbiani believed this, and so much more so he set his sights even further.  Considering the extremely successful cover operation that his parent's restaurant allowed, along with praise from his current mafia work, he knew a venture like this would make the family proud and so he aimed far across the ocean.

San Andreas

Arriving in San Andreas and relocation to Los Santos introduced Jace to The Marcello family, a group he found himself falling in line with while operating under Winston Marcello. Winston was once a very influential man in the city... until he suddenly wasn't, and following his disappearance to Italy, and no word from Paul when information was requested, the members of the family found themselves lying low. Jace decided he needed to part ways and reevaluate. Witnessing failed leadership and abandonment, doubt set in and it was decided to abandon his plan... For now. Thus Jace Tribbiani died and Jace Bianchi was born in an attempt to start anew and cut prior ties in the city. 

The years that followed took Jace from working at the hospital, where he learned all he could about the medical field and heading up the Fire Rescue Division; to joining an organization under the successful leadership of Bruce Wong. It was very different from everything he knew, but there was a sense of comfort, promise, and a level of comradery that made it feel very similarly to home. Years after parting with the Mafia, Jace received a call from Paul Esposito, and returned home to Italy with haste. During his time back home, his confidence was restored and the true importance of family, blood or not, resurfaced and solidified. 

Returning to Los Santos, Jace knew what needed to be done. For years he functioned under others. Some leadership impeccable and lessons priceless, while others were less than mediocre - but it was time for something else. Jace wanted something he could call his own and thus upon his return he brought his cousin, George Rossetti. Jace was tired of being in the shadow of others, or an off branch of something larger, but instead wanted something he could call his own. Work in the shadows like those who molded him trained to, he reached out to a few he could trust, including a long time friend Leah Lennox, and made an offer she couldn't resist. 

"Join me, this will be our family, La Nostra Famiglia."

E Così Comincia... | And So It Begins.....

Chi si volta, e chi si gira, sempre a casa va finire.
No matter where you go or turn, you will always end up at home.

Leah Lennox moved to San Andreas for a simple reason - a job. It’s what she did, day in and day out. If there was a contract she wouldn’t turn it down. It was in her nature, it was how she was raised. You go where the money is so you can take care of yourself and your family. Few people understood but when Leah got that first call from longtime friend Jace Bianchi, she knew it would be worth it. With haste she grabbed her passport and a small bag and boarded a plane out of Venice.

The city of Los Santos had a lot to offer and even after the proposed job fell through, Leah found it was hard to leave. She wanted to see things through. Working with Jace in the past, she knew he was one she could trust and if San Andreas had something for him, it may have something for her. A return flight to Italy could wait… a few more days.

Days turned to weeks and passed on to months.While it was good while it lasted, the thought of flying back was quickly inching it way to the forefront of Leah’s mind. Her fingers were twitching and she needed another job. Boredom was striking and there was nothing really left. She never stuck around anywhere for long so it was just another chapter to finish. Knowing she couldn’t leave without properly parting with the one who brought her here, but he was nowhere to be found.

Days passed with no contact before finding out he was meeting with a name from the past. Paul, a well respected name that she called boss and family. Was Jace really doing what he said he would? It was a brave and bold move to ask Paul for his blessing branching off from our work. While some call it flattering, others can call it betrayal.
Paul was reasonable though… right? Nerves ran through Leah for days as she scouted Los Santos finding potential locations for a HQ in the event that blessing was received. Her search was a success but there was no word from Jace. It was time for a trip to Italy… just for a check.

The trip to Italy became an ordeal all its own, a story for another day. Returning back to Los Santos with no sight of Jace or word from Paul or the rest of the family, the worry was overwhelming and exhausting. Unbeknownst to her, a simple beep of her phone would have the potential to change her life.

Returning to her apartment, Leah tracked the days as they passed, thoughts as to the outcome of the talk with Paul tirelessly running through her head. The Mafia doesn’t allow for separation. Your family is your everything and to attempt to separate for your own you’re typically met with… well that was Leah’s job.

- Late afternoon, August 23 -

Sighing as the faithful day came, Leah opened her closet and pushed aside a slew of hangers and stared at the clothing bag hanging off a black hanger. If things went bad, the outfit wouldn’t matter but if things went well… it was time to work and reintroduce Ms. Lennox to the family.

[CarryOut]

It had been quite some time since Jace had gone home to Italy. Almost a year since his last visit, and that was for potentially opening weapon deals. Ultimately the deal fell through, but what could you do about it? It was time for a change, Jace had been in Triads for several years at this point in his life, but he felt like he was in a stagnant spot in the gang. It was time for him to go bigger.. So he did what anyone in his position would do, went to Paul to ask for his blessing.

A meeting was called about the proposition, and the vast majority of members partaking agreed. It would be good to start something proper in Los Santos, with the official blessing of Paul Esposito. So that was that.. Jace had the blessing.. Now he just needed to enact the plan. Before leaving Italy, he met with his cousin George Rossetti, and gave him the same talk that he had with Paul. George was onboard with the idea, and thrilled to finally be able to move to America legally. Leah was informed, and plans were put into motion in San Andreas. Everyone who mattered knew who Jace was.. So Jace immediately started getting in touch with people after he landed, informing them of his endeavors. He spoke with a few select members of Triads, and they graciously opened their arms for the male to return if he so wished. Jace spoke with them about his plans, and they wished him the best of luck in his endeavors. Next he met with the Irish, and the Aztecas, telling them of his plans and the same kind words were spoken to him. He liked this very much, to be not only  known but also liked in the city. 

Shortly after meeting with them, Jace had a bit of an issue with a gang known as Skulls. He took one of their members and the leader was none too happy. He enlisted the help of Ricky, and other members of Gangster Disciples assisted in setting up a possible ambush for members of the Skulls. They were very quickly disposed of, and Jace met with Ricky and Oti to give a quick rundown of what La Nostra Famiglia was, and what we want to accomplish. Ricky agreed it would be good for the city to have a different kind of criminal activity. 

So Jace continued operating, he met with several individuals that were looking to be apart of something bigger than them.. They were looking for a family. They were screened by the higherups, and allowed a chance to be Prospettivas within the organization. The members were thrilled and eager to prove themselves. 

Jace and Leah informed the group of men what they would be tasked with doing, and what they would be learning while they were going through this first phase, and they were hopeful for the future.. We all were. Jace came on radio one day and got a full check of everyone in town. He gave them a location and told everyone to meet up there for their first class. 
 

Little did Jace know however, that they were being watched. Paul had dispatched associates to Los Santos for one purpose. This purpose was to observe Jace and watch how well he was building the mafia. He wanted to see how well Jace would be able to handle this position of power, and Jace had no idea, and likely never would. 
The session went on without any issues, and the members learned the basics of how to properly picklock a vehicle. They had no idea of the tasks required of them within the next week of their training, but they soon would understand just what was demanded of them.

Meeting The Vatos

Even with prior connections meeting people through the years it’s always common courtesy to reach out and reacquaint. It helps to have friends and when common interests align it’s good to have people you can work with. Keeping this in mind, Leah mentioned reacquainting with Aztecas to Jace especially in light of some new goals she had in mind. Following a few back and forth texts, 2 meetings were set up, one private, one meet and greet.

To begin, a private meeting with a very important woman was on the agenda. Multiple matters needed to be addressed - one being people, another being familial affairs, and the last being REDACTED. Going off without a hitch, all sides walked out of the meeting with positive thoughts and potential plans for future relations.

[Discussion regarding REDACTED and the potential for working together]

When you find one Azteca, there are surely more to follow. Simply meeting with one would never be enough and being two who believe in proper communication, Leah and Jace were very eager to meet with more people and take proper steps for formal introductions. Expanding on the meeting, in depth details were discussed and multiple numbers exchanged. A weight was quickly lifted off of Leah's shoulders when laughter filled the room. Even with relation talks, it was always good to know you could kick back and enjoy a moment of light talks. Now, it was just time for people to start meeting one another.

[Establishing proper relations with a few laughs here and there]

[Small yet formal meet and greet to start building lifelong bonds founded on trust and respect]

The meetings were short but beneficial and this truly felt like a step in the right direction. Truthfully, only time will tell how everything shapes out but in the meantime, it was a job well done. Now, time to scroll through contacts and on to the next...

[CarryOut]

It had been approximately two weeks since Jace picked up his first round of Prospettivas. Christopher Vanhyse, Joey Scadaducci, Sam TyDavis, and Negan Wesker. Their judgement day was among us, and it was time for them to be graded on how well they had performed the tasks based on the knowledge they gained from the classes they received. Earlier in the week, six prospettivas were informed of the meeting, including Robin and Harry Ace. Unfortunately Robin had been pinched by the cops when he was trying to make a quick buck by stealing cars, and he got two years in prison. His brother had to fly out of the city unexpectedly to lay low, so he was unable to attend the meeting either. All was well though, the other four were able to make it and they did. At precisely 4PM, Jace, George, and Leah approached HQ to see two vehicles. They had minimized cars as instructed, they were learning and becoming better every day. 

"Follow me." Was the only word passed on radio, and Leah drove off, not waiting to see if the Prospettivas would keep up or not. Eventually they had arrived at a house, and none of the individuals were truly prepared for the events to come of the day. 

 

First order of business was to let the Prospettivas get settled downstairs while the command team prepared for the induction ceremony. He asked Leah and George to follow him upstairs, and for the rest of the Prospettivas to wait downstairs and chat amongst themselves. They had no idea what they were doing at this house, and were potentially just as scared as they were nervous for what was to come of their position in the organization. 

 

The two people Jace trusted most in the city followed him down the stairs, where they moved to talk to the Prospettivas. He asked them how they felt they did in regard to their tasks. All of their answers were hopeful. So he decided to expose one secret of the reason behind the tasks, and that was teamwork. He explained that the family helps each other no matter what, and he was proud of what he heard over the radio when he left them to their own devices. Each member smiled, happy that they had made the Capo Famiglia happy in their actions. He had faith this small group would bring his organization far. There was one thing to take care of.

"Negan, come upstairs with Leah and I."

Jace's voice was neutral as he walked up the stairs. His movements were slow and calculated, intended to throw Negan off his game. Jace knew Negan was easily angered, but he didn't care. When upstairs they asked him to sit on the bed, and Leah was asked to get the BLS bag.  They had a conversation, and Jace got to the point, did he say that a gun was Leah's? A certain officer had told Leah that when she got arrested, her passenger had said the gun in the car belonged to her, despite no fingerprints being found on the weapon. Even if he didn't do it, the organization had no room for traitors, and Negan learned very quickly what loyalty was, especially when it was carved into his skin in Italian.

Leah and Jace left Negan to clean himself up as they went back downstairs. Upon his return, Jace led everyone outside for the official initiation into the family.

That was the end of it. Jace let them all get cleaned up, and everyone shared hugs and handshakes, welcoming the four newest members of the organization. They loaded up into their vehicles and went to the clothing store, Jace had a personal tailor and he got them all fitted for suits. Needless to say some laughs were had as each male tried on different things to suit their taste, while maintaining the professional style that is demanded of each family member. Leah explained when and where to wear their outfits, and what is expected now that they are all completely inducted. To betray the family meant death, and that was engrained into each of their heads, despite the laughs. Once the laughs were done, they went to get their vehicles sprayed, and were once again given another lesson in regards to when to drive the vehicles with the family color. Granted this is not taken as serious, but it does risk being more known by the wrong people, and was advised against.

The family was taken back to the parking lot of their HQ, and all posed in their new outfits, proudly wearing them and glad to show them off for the camera.

THE UNTOLD STORY OF LUCIANO

Who is Negan Jackon Luciano

 

Am I a fishermen?

 

I came to Los Santos for a fresh start, but no matter what happens I seem to get mixed back up in the Mafia life. 

Let's start from the begining of my story i Negan Lucian was born on October 17, 1990 as Negan Wesker in Las Ventura, San Andreas to Lean and Lina Wesker. They loved their son very much, and did everything they could to give their son a better life than they had. Leon went to work for Caligulas Palace, a casino in the area that was owned and operated by the Sindacco Family, when I was 8. The family was headed by Paulie Sindacco.

 

One day while Leon was working security, four dirt bikes drove in and started causing mayhem. They drove through it, and began gunning down anyone that stood in their way as they made it to the vault. Utilizing uzis they gunned down tens of guards and hundreds of people sustained injuries. My dad was the only thing keeping them from escaping, and as they started driving out, he began to fire several rapid shots in quick succession at each biker. All the bikers were shot down, but Leon had sustained multiple GSWs and unfortunately did not survive.

Paulie and his men took the money that was already baonored as a hero.

Years passed, and I was boosting cars and robbing people when one of Paulie's men found me and told me to follow him. Paulie told me that he wanted me to do some work for him. Paulie Sindacco helped me learn how to steal cars that were higher value than the ones I was already boosting. He taught me how to be strategic in my work, and showed me how to get my hands dirty without getting in trouble with the law. I worked for him for two years when he called me into his office one day. He told me he wanted to make me a true Sindacco, but I turned him down. I told Paulie I wanted to join the Army, and try to better my life. Paulie was not pleased with my statement, and the day I left he told me I better never come back to Las Ventura. After that I left, without a glance back, to join the Army and climb the ranks to see what I could make of myself.

Advancing in the Army took me on multiple missions including CLASSIFIED and CLASSIFIED and over time I grew numb to the idea of death and loss. After I was handed my discharge papers a day after my 29th birthday I was on my way to the airport to fly home when word range out that Paulie Sindacco was killed while on a boat in Liberty City during a successful operation carried out by my former unit. Knowing that there was too much potential for me to get dragged into a revenge plot and wanting to keep my mother safe, I made a decision that would change my life. Trading in my ticket to Las Ventura, I opted for the only cheaper one available. Los Santos, here I come.

During my time in the Army, I went on several missions and overtime grew numb to the idea of death and loss. I became part of a scout sniper team, and after several long years, I was disharged a day after my 29th birthday. I was headed to the airport when I received word that Paulie Sindacco was shot while on a boat in Liberty City. I know word would get out soon because the person responsible for his death was part of my last unit, so I traded my ticket to Las Ventura, for one to Los Santos.

To Be Continued......

George Rossetti

Born in Italy on the 5th September 1992, George Rossetti comes from a middle class working family. His father Roberto ran the family textile business alongside his mother Lisa. From an early age George often helped out at the family business and as he got older he assisted in managing the business taking on more of a senior role. However George never really did like working at the family business as he found it dull and not exciting enough, he wanted more. When his parents were away on business trips and during times when it was quiet he got involved with petty crime with the local gangs. Over the years he developed contacts with other gangs and mafias across Italy forming a tight network. He used these networks to transport drugs and illegal weapons across the country, making himself rich and well known he used this to his benefit. All of this done without his parents knowing.

However this didn’t last too long, at the age of 21, George was undergoing a high value gun trade when all of the sudden the warehouse he was in was raided by police. Caught in the act George was sentenced to 12 years in prison for firearms trafficking. George’s parent’s removed his position from the family business and wanted nothing to do with him as he had tarnished their family name. George regretted doing this to his family and made a promise to change his life around. During his sentence he made every effort to keep busy and to help out, in return he was released on good behavior after 6 years.

After being released George made an attempt to make things right with his parents and to earn their forgiveness, unfortunately this failed and they once again turn him away. At the time of his release his cousin Jace Bianchi was in Italy visiting family. George and Jace had closely grown up together and were very close friends. George met with Jace and told him everything that had happened and his time during his criminal life. George hadn’t seen his cousin for many years as Jace had been out of the country in Los Santos. Jace shared his stories about the criminal activity that he had been involved with in Los Santos, hearing this wasn’t good for George as this started to remind him of all the fun he had before he was sentenced. Jace then told George about his plans to make his own mafia and gave George the opportunity to come back with him to Los Santos to be his Capo Bastone knowing that he would make a great addition. Knowing there wasn’t anything left for him in Italy, George accepted his invitation and moved to Los Santos. It was time to join La Nostra Famiglia

Actually looking forward to some creative RP with this faction. Thread looks good

Christopher Vanhyse

Christopher Vanhyse was born in 1998, in the slums on the south side of Chicago. From the moment he could walk, Chris knew he was meant to be more than a regular person. Christopher grew up with his mother, and despite living a tough life, he was able to finish school and attend college. When Chris turned 22, he decided he wanted to do more in life than live in the hood, and this is when he found himself on a flight to San Andreas. He was looking for something better for himself and his mother, but she just couldn't abandon the city she called home. With this said, Chris boarded the flight and went alone... Or so he thought.

 

While he was in the airport, Chris met an old friend by the name of Joey Scadaducci. Chris and Joey spoke for hours while they were both waiting for their planes. They both said their goodbyes.. and then they found out they were sitting beside each other on the plane to Los Santos. Joey brought up the proposition of sticking together, and at first Chris was unsure if he could still trust the man after all the years they spent separated. Christopher ultimately decided to agree, because he knew the city was unforgiving to new citizens.

 

When Chris and Joey arrived in Los Santos, they had no idea where to go, what to do, or who to even talk to. They went from job to job in an attempt to find something.. Anything that he enjoyed, but sadly nothing clicked. This left Christopher finding himself lost and unsure where to go from here. This is when he discovered his love of business, legal or illegal. Christopher liked making money to fund his addictive personality and expensive tastes, and he was determined to provide for himself by any means necessary. On his journey to becoming a millionaire, Christopher met a man by the name of Jace Bianchi, and well... That story is still being written.

[CarryOut]

 

The family had been operating for several weeks at this point, and buying weapons and drug tables off Lost MC, when Jace and Leah received a text from someone named Noa Mercer. Noa was a higher up member of Lost MC, and wanted to meet with them in regards to a potential contract that they had for the organization. Naturally Jace and Leah were interested and agreed to meet with Noa and Jax Thorpe at the alien worship area up in Sandy Shores. 
Jace and Leah rolled up in their Surano, and Jace  instantly regretted it because he knew he'd have to clean the hell out of the car later, but once they got out of the cool A/C of the vehicle, they knew this meeting would be long and hot because the sun was beating down on the two, and they weren't wearing the appropriate suit for the environment.

 

 

They had officially met the two people in Lost that were wanting the meeting, and names were changed and hands were shook. They had made friendly with each other, exchanging jokes and stories of interactions they'd had with the other group. Then after a bit of this, they began to discuss the actual reason for the meeting. Noa had lowered her voice, and then began to talk about how they could start a business of sorts. The basics would be that they meet the cartel at a drop off location, and act as a middleman to meet the person buying the merchandise.

 

 

A few more members of Lost MC had come to the meeting, to meet the Organization. Jace and Leah shook hands as they talked to the members and met more of Lost. As the members kept coming, Jace and Leah knew they had to go soon because one of their members needed help with something in regards to a property. They decided it was a good idea, but would have to discuss it further, and numbers were exchanged. Jace knew he would need something bigger than what they currently had in the city.. Therefore, Jace had to make a special order which would arrive within a few days.
