				Woo hoo! I got a good feeling about this game. Should be fun. I got a few questions before I flesh out the aunt more...<br><br>What's the name of your character and the father?<br><br>What city will it be in?<br><br>Do you have a sheet in mind or should we just out down whatever we think is relevant?

				I like the names Leonardo Calitri for the son, and Lorenzo Calitri for the father. You like?<br><br>The Calitri family has its business in Chicago - or do you have a different city in mind? All suggestions welcome.<br><br>Yeah, I guess the sheets can include anything we feel is relevant to the character or his/her backstory - but of course should include name, a photo, build and looks details, sexual preferences and kinks, how their relationship with the now deceased Lorenzo was, and a brief biography. <br><br>

				I like. Here comes the aunt...<br><br><div class="floatright">(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SaJtToSIjTs/TVnLlrm8vNI/AAAAAAAAAag/9h9QcZsfwo4/s1600/Monica+Bellucci17.jpg)</div><em>Name:</em> Lucrezia Calitri<br><em>Born:</em> April 18, 1973 (age 38)<br><em>Height:</em> 5'7"&nbsp; <em>Weight:</em> 143 lbs.<br><em>Eyes:</em> Brown&nbsp; <em>Hair:</em> Brown (frequently dyed black)&nbsp; <br><em>Measurements:</em> 35C-24-35<br><em>Occupation:</em> Boutique owner, former fashion model<br><em>Marital Status:</em> Married (twice, once widowed)<br><br><em>Description:</em> Lucrezia is a classically beautiful women with impeccable style. She is usually dressed in expensive dresses that hug her curves. Years of living in Europe as a model have given her a rather posh way of speaking as well as a serious smoking habit. <br><br><em>History:</em> Lucrezia is the younger sister of the late crime lord Lorenzo Calitri. Although born in the US, she was sent away to live with relatives in Italy when she was in her early teens to protect her from their father's enemies. Lucrezia became quite close with her grandmother Isabella, a traditional woman who strongly emphasized family loyalty and the importance of the Calitris. While in Milan at age sixteen, Lucrezia was spotted by a talent scout and became a model. Although she had a modest amount of success, she returned to the States two years later to marry Johnny Orsini, the son of a rival don that her father wished to bury the hatchet with. The two managed to fall in love and were genuinely happy for a few years. Then Johnny told his wife that the Orsinis were planning an attack on the Calitris. Although it broke her heart, Lucrezia's loyalty was to her family over her husband. She led him into an ambush that cost Johnny his life.<br><br>Now a widow, Lucrezia decided to return to Europe to put her time with Johnny behind her. She started modelling again and was able to make a good living. Lucrezia turned down any chances to work in the US so that she wouldn't draw attention to her family. By the time she was approaching thirty, her career had slowed down. The death of her father prompted her second return to Chicago. There Lucrezia opened a boutique called Filthy Lucre that specialized in cutting edge fashion. She proved to have a good mind for the family business and became quite close with Lorenzo. The two did have some disagreements, Lucrezia was not very happy with his choice of a second wife nor with his affair with a police officer as she felt he was exposing the family to outsiders. Yet even with these arguments their bond remained strong and Lucrezia took Lorenzo's death quite hard, although she managed to put on a strong face.<br><br>Today Lucrezia is determined to keep the Calitri family strong. She is very wealthy, having remarried four years ago into a great deal of money. Her husband Lambert is a member of the Levin family, a powerful force in Chicago's banking industry. Lucrezia uses her husband's wealth and connections to assist the Calitri family business. The two live in a huge Mediterranean style home on the lake. In warm months Lucrezia can be frequently found sunbathing nude on their private beach.<br><br><em>Personality:</em> Lucrezia is strong and sophisticated, a true aristocrat. She believes that the Calitris are like ancient Roman imperial families and are above the laws of normal men. One result of this outlook is her extremely decadent sex life. Lucrezia like pushing things to the extreme and nothing seems to be too perverse for her. Her husband Lambert is very weak-willed and totally dominated by his wife in all aspects of their marriage. Lucrezia frequently has affairs, sometimes forcing Lambert to watch. While a powerful personality, Lucrezia can become submissive towards someone if she respects them. Enemies of the Calitris have implied this included her own brother. Regardless of the validity of those rumors, Lucrezia's loyalty to her family is unshakable. As a traditionalist, she prefers being the power behind the throne.&nbsp; Lucrezia supports her nephew fully, provided he doesn't let her down. She insists on being called "Zia Lucrezia" by Leonardo as she thinks "Aunt Lucrezia" makes her sound like an old lady.

				Hadn't expected the other sheet to lock down so fast lol<br><br>This will be an actual decent crime drama driven rp?<br>It's just that you didn't mention the threesome or foursome until after we all put in our interest and then locked it so no one could say anything there. <br><br>I'm fine with sex and whatever but I was really hoping for a decent crime rpg.

				Thanks, Foxy! That's a pitch perfect character and backstory.&nbsp; :)<br><br>Kendra, I just locked the thread so people would know we have all characters taken. We can discuss our preferences here. And I just mentioned threesome or foursome with all the ladies as something I'd love. Doesn't have to be there, and if it's there, will figure in the story probably 100 posts down the line.<br><br>Of course, this would be totally crime driven story. That's the intention!<br><br>But that said, since there'll be sex as well, it would be nice if we can all list our list of yes's and no's for this story. <br><br>Will be posting my character profile soon!<br><br><br><br>

				My turn to flesh out the character :)<br><br><em>Name</em>: Leonardo Calitri&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;(http://www.promdressesdirectory.com/promdresses/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/milo-ventimiglia-02-2007-11-17.jpg)<br><em>Age</em>: 21 (born Feb 17, 1990)<br><em>Height</em>: 5'9"<br><em>Weight</em>: 155 lbs<br><em>Hair</em>: Dark brown <br><em>Eyes</em>: Brown<br><em>Schooling</em>: Was studying Political Science &amp; Psychology in the UK, but planning to drop out &amp; move back to US after Lorenzo's demise<br><em>Previous Relationships</em>: Nothing which lasted more than a couple of months - deemed 'too preoccupied', 'too distant' by girls<br><br><em>Personality</em>: Leonardo may seem almost recluse-like to the world, and he's hard to be friends with. But he's fiercely loyal and trustworthy to those he befriends. He possesses an active intellect, is charming in an effortless of way, and always trusts his first instinct when it comes to people. He either likes or hates someone in the first meeting, and sticks to that impression. He aces his tests and the professors love him. He loves expensive watches and his collection boasts of the rarest collector's pieces. He dates girls, but is careful to avoid any long term relationship, for he knows his future lies in the family business, and he wants to be free of emotional baggage when he enters that world.<br><br><em>Biography</em>: Growing up in the shadow of his father, Leonardo always aspired to be like him. He knew behind his father's calm, poised demeanor, hid a sharp brain, always alert and aware of the people around him and the games they played. Leonardo always regretted how his father never introduced him to his 'business'. He knew what the name Calitri stood for in Chicago, and in some hidden recess of his heart, he yearned to be by his father's side even when he was barely out of high school. Circumstances had now thrust him into the whirlpool, and cruelly, had taken away the best guide and mentor he could have had.<br><br>The person he loves the most after his father is his aunt, Zia Lucrezia. She's been the mother he never had (his mother died when he was just 5, and Lorenzo didn't remarry till Leonardo was ready to be sent to college). He treasures the memories of the time he'd spent with her. When he used to go back home during vacation from college, he would keep showering compliments on her and fill her house with gifts. They almost shared a 'flirting-teasing' relationship now. He knows how badly Lorenzo's death would have shaken her up, and wants to be by her side at such a tough time.<br><br>In his school years, Leonardo had got on friendly terms with some of his father's henchmen (distant cousins, his father used to say). And they'd taken up his request to learn using guns in good humor, only to find he was a keen student. By the time he was out of high school, Leonardo knew his way with handguns, shotguns and rifles. Though Lorenzo wouldn't hear a word about letting him carry a piece. He insisted on bodyguards always around him when in Chicago. England, of course, was a safer place, and one of Lorenzo's cousins lived in London and would always keep an eye on the boy.<br><br>Now, Leonardo realizes it is his time to step up. His real education now lied in slowly taking over his father's empire, something which rival families now had their evil eyes on. He's decided to quit school and stay on in Chicago.<br><br><br>

				I so hope this makes sense lol<br>it's been a very long day and my brain is zapped - if it needs tweaking let me know ;)<br><br><hr><br><strong>Appearance: </strong><br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/7/7a/Rachel-weisz-pic.jpg/800px-Rachel-weisz-pic.jpg) (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/48/Rachel-weisz-the-whistleblower-trailer.jpg)<br><br><hr><br><strong>Name:</strong> Catherine Foggarty (Cat)<br><strong>Age:</strong> 35 ( 26|4|1976 )<br><strong>Height:</strong> 5’9”<br><strong>Weight</strong>: 133lbs<br><strong>Eyes:</strong> brown<br><strong>Hair:</strong> brown<br><strong>Skintone:</strong> sallow<br><br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Lieutenant&nbsp; CPD (Chicago Police Department)<br><br><strong>Abilities:</strong><br>Proficient in one to one combat – martial arts / self-defence trained<br>Proficient with a side arm – Glock .45 main gun but capable of using any fire arm<br>Excels with blades, extremely proficient in the use of a dagger or knife<br><br><strong>History:</strong> <br>During the Irish famine of 1844 the Foggarty’s moved to America for a new life, they settled in New York but by 1870 had branched to Chicago. Both branches of the family seemed capable of breeding males only and all joined the police departments. From one descendant to the next it was so, establishing for themselves a strong and clean reputation in the service. <br><br>When Catherine was born in 1976, she was the first female Foggarty to be born on American soil from that particular clan and her paternal grandmother blamed it on her Italian mothers heritage. She was a friendly and inquisitive child, growing into a beautiful intelligent young woman. From an early age she wanted to join the force as her brothers did but her father Daniel who completely adored his daughter, did not want her too. The dangers of being a police officer was not what he wanted for his only daughter. <br><br>Determined and stubborn she soon got her own way and she graduated from the police academy to serve under her father who was at the time the police chief. She adored her job and worked hard to prove herself. At the age of 27 she was sent to manage traffic at the funeral of an infamous crime boss. Trouble was expected but it never came, what came instead was her first meeting brief encounter as it was with Lorenzo Calitri. Tall, handsome, charismatic and powerful he manipulated her attention immediately. He too became besotted with the police woman, finding first paltry reasons for her to show up at his home or to ‘accidentally’ meet her on her beat. <br><br>It wasn’t long before she became abreast of who and what he was but by then it was too late. She had fallen for him hook, line and sinker and would hear not a single word said against him. It suited her to have an affair with him instead of demanding a full time relationship, she was after all married to her job. A position that suffered from her involvement with him. Promotions were slow in coming as a result and it was only with his death that her move forward to the position of Lieutenant happened at all. <br><br>Cat had heard all about his son and had seen pictures but had never seen him before, she knew one thing however – as much as she loved her job, she had loved Lorenzo more and because of this she vowed to herself to keep an eye on his only heir to make sure the same fate did not befall him. She was certain that foul play was involved in the death of her lover but cannot illicit any of her family to help her investigate, they would not understand. For the most part, two of her brothers believe she is now a ‘dirty cop’, her father will always give her the benefit of the doubt … to a point. Determined to find out what happened to the father, so that it does not happen to the son Cat knows she will risk anything and everything to make sure her own brand of justice is done.<br>

				<div class="floatright">(http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s85/SaiyanTony/Jenna%20Haze/1.jpg)</div> <strong>Name:</strong><em>Lacey Lynn "Haze" Calitri</em><br><strong>Age/DOB:</strong><em>28/ March 24, 1983</em><br><strong>Height/Weight:</strong><em>5’11’/140 lbs</em><br><strong>Occupation:</strong><em> “The Wife”</em><br><strong>Marital Status:</strong><em>Married but Widowed now</em><br><br><strong>Description:<strong><em>Lacey dress with the latest fashion thanks to her late husband. She never really tied her hair up and if she dose it was only the request of her husband. She love her shoes like any woman would. Her thought on this was the Shoes makes the outfit. Just as much as the person that is wearing them.</em><br><br><strong>Personality:</strong><em>Lacey is really go out there and get live by the bull horns. Lacey was one that enjoy solving problems at&nbsp; very young age as well. She kind of crazy and wild underneath all the cloths and the act out in eyes of the masses. She is a very loving person once the walls come down. She do anything for her family and her husband's family.</em><br><br><strong>History:</strong><em> Lacey came a far rich family but nothing like Calitri’s family. Her mother was killed in a horrible car crash so she was told. She went through school without a mother. She worked hard in the second rate boarding School in Chicago.<br>Little did she knew of her father dealing with the wrong people. Her father took an untimely end with the fishes, When she was 22 was her second meeting of Lorenzo Calitri. <br><br>He always was there for her father party and meetings&nbsp; but there was only one other time they really just talked. It was her 17th birthday party, she remember outside crying because a jerk of a boyfriend dump her. Lorenzo talked with her and got her to go back to her party. At first she though he was crazy wanting to go kill the boy. Her words was simply this. <em>"Why do that, it would only show him kindness and not make him see what he is missing out on."</em> He laugh at her and she thought he had a handsome laugh and a great smile. For the next few year before her father's death she stay in the back ground watching him. She never felt right about talking to him, he was always there for business it seemed. Until her father's death. <br><br>At first she didn’t like the ideal that her father, William Haze, was really an ally family to Calitri's family. She never knew what he did for a living well once she was save and back at the Calitri's mason he explain a little bit about what her father was doing when he was killed. He felt bad that he even let William do it. William was a headstrong man, and nothing Lorenzo said to him was not going to change his ideal even when he throw Lacey's name in the mix. She ran to the guest bedroom and cry for a few days. Eating a little bit of what he would set in her room. On the 3rd day she walked out and started to slowly talk him and find out a lot about him. <br><br>As the months pass by the closer she and the man that was lonely and looking kind of lost with an empty nest with his wife gone and his son off to do great things at college. They needed each other more than one way. Though there was night that he would take off and be gone for hours and she be in bed alone. She thought she was losing him so she would dress in cloths that should off her form to him. She beg him to touch her, and soon enough the late night runs slowly stop and he asked her to marry him. <br><br>Shortly after they was married he told her of the cop Cat. She was upset about it. She loved him and gave him everything she could think of. She thought it was her that he didn't like. He explain to her that she was the better sited for him because she was in love with him and not some job. <br><br>She could remember the night that he die. They had a nice dinner out and they came home and sit and talked for hours as normal as if they put the whole affair behind them. Lacey try to but it still linger in her mind when he had to go take care of some business. She begged him to stay home that night and to have some fun with her. He looked at her in a very sweet way and said 'The Family needs me.' And with those words she nod know it was very important work she told him that she wait up for him. He wave at her and gets in car and she didn't see him again until a cop knock on their door to asked her to go ID a body. She beg the gods in haven that it was not him but of course when the sheet got moved she drop to her knees and started to cry.&nbsp; <br></em></strong></strong>

				It was just in the shadow for Her and the father but don't mean that is what she wanting now that he is gone. She is going to kind of be a wild spirited but if you wanted me to I will changed her bio. I guess I should had asked and talked about her history before posting it. I am sorry. I just figure that she would be somewhat of a submissive kind of wife but don't worried she may had been submissive to him don't mean she is going to be that to all men or even his son. I just didn't see the guy as all sweet and gentle and figure have a little dark side that stay in his bedroom and only his wife. Just because she was to play off a very large debt. But with her face and body she was treated well in front of everyone else or even with the family.&nbsp; Again I am sorry please let me know if I need to change it up a bit.

				I'm not the GM here so I can't speak for&nbsp; snow but perhaps discussing with him first how the father figure actually was and how he would like for us to portray him and his memory might help. In my own opinion the character just seems more suited to an entirely different game concept but as this is in the Bondage forum I can see why you might have thought the game was to lean towards BDSM. <br><br>snow perhaps you can underline the 'overall' tone of the plot for us which might help Sharon with the bio.

				This is what I had written about the wife in the brief outline for the RP in our earlier thread:<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">He meets his father's 'trophy wife' (28 yrs old) for the first time, and realizes there's more to her personality than he'd assumed. He sees how her father found solace and comfort in her company, and how she was a wise and caring soulmate.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Lorenzo waited till his son got into college before re-marrying, since he didn't wish his son to grow up under a step-mother. He'd rather Leonardo's childhood was in his aunt's care. Only when Leonardo goes abroad, and Lucrezia marries the banker, that the father starts feeling a little lonely. He'd have married Catherine, but she wasn't sure about them having an open relationship, and he respected her views &amp; dedication to duty. It was during that time that he grew closer to this woman, way younger than him, but wise beyond her years, and definitely the emotional support he was looking for. <br>That's the way I see the father's character, and the wife's role.<br><br>This is what the son values later - how the young woman brought herself into a world of twisted people, to take care of someone she loved. He appreciates what she had done for his father.<br><br>So, to be honest, I think their relationship should be a much softer, emotional one rather than a master-slave kind of thing. I get your point about giving him a dark side, but his life otherwise is dark - he's a mafia family head. His wife, to me, would have been one of the few brighter aspects of his life.<br><br>As to why I placed this in the bondage forum, that was just to keep the options open for pleasure games between the characters, like maybe handcuffs being used by the police woman in a scene. I didn't want to place the thread in the Light forum if this wasn't going to be allowed there.<br><br>Hope this clarifies lots of things!

				Thanks, Sharon! I like the new bio - it fits the story perfectly. I just wanted to discuss one little detail. Since Lacey is 28 now, and Lorenzo married her 4 years back, when his son left for college, she'd have been 24 when that happened. And if you say her father died when she was 19, it means she lived for 5 years at the Calitri mansion. Can we make her 22 when her father was killed? That way, she had been living with the Calitris for about 2 years before he decided to marry her.<br><br>Foxy, nice to hear from you after a while!

				Thanks Sharon!<br><br>Ladies, now that we have the characters ready, please do write in with any plot point/character detail/back-story detail/desired RP elements you want to bring up for discussion before we start the story thread.<br><br>I believe Lucrezia's narration should begin the thread. She has been the one constant by Lorenzo's side, and in his death, she's the one who'll see the family through the transition and who'll guide her nephew to the 'throne'. So it is through her eyes that we can grasp the magnitude of the tragedy and her resolve for building the future, first up.<br>What do you all think about it?<br><br>Also, just as a curiosity - do you all like essaying your parts in the third person or in the first person?

				and not understanding something would often times require asking for clarification ?? <br><br>I was considering her showing up after the initial proceedings had begun so no one would see her or take notice of her until they were perhaps leaving the scene. <br>Even so until she had actually been posted to - no remark concerning her established whereabouts in the graveyard should have been posted by any one. <br><br>Your post effectively had her among the mourners - that is positioning a character directly into place<br><br>I'm not meaning to start an argument here - but godmoding is not approved on site or by myself personally.

				Well, it won't be a problem again because I'm done. I said it was a misunderstanding and fixed my post, yet you continue to push in this confrontational manner. This is supposed to be fun and your unwillingness to accept someone admitting their error and moving has choked the fun out of this for me. I have zero desire to have anything to do with someone of your poor attitude. My apologies to the other players.

				Foxy - seriously?<br><br>I was not being confrontational but stressing my point as you had not even stated in your previous post that you had edited or that you had made an error. Only that you misunderstood. <br><br>If perhaps you had done those things then I wouldn't have felt the need to stress it again.<br><br>I've been nearly a year on this site and many years roleplaying so I am well aware of how situations arise and how they can be diffused. <br><br>Step away and chill out perhaps for a while because there is certainly no need for you to drop the game. Massively over reacting over your misunderstanding is unfair to the work that snow has put into the game.

				Ladies, it is I who's responsible for the mix-up. In the excitement of getting the story started, I didn't discuss smaller details like discussing a scene on the OOC thread before starting to post about it, or making sure everyone is comfortable with both asking for and making edits to posts.<br><br>Please put that down to my inexperience (this is my first group story - another one I'd planned didn't take off, the OOC thread was left hanging), and please let's get things back on track.<br><br>From now on, we all should have at least one post on the OOC thread about the next scene in the story, making sure to mention our character's positions and actions (not in detail but just the broad idea). And even then it may often happen that while writing a post, someone may slip in a line which either may be contradictory to someone else's post or be an indirect case of godmoding. It's not a crime - and all it needs is a simple edit. <br><br>In any such case, the OOC is there for this purpose itself. We can bring them up, and issues can be easily resolved. Personally, I do edits on almost every game of mine - they just make the story flow better, and they never take up more than a few minutes of anyone's time.<br><br>So please let's put aside our irritations and frustrations, and let's make sure these little problems are ironed out.<br><br>I thought I had a good story idea when I posted this on the thread looking for players - but with the inputs from the three of you, I truly believe it can be an awesome crime saga to play out. Let's give it another chance please.<br><br>I'm sorry for the mess.

				http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=54576.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=54576.0)<br><br>Not sure if any of you have ever read this but I think it wouldn't go astray.<br>It's a must for group games.<br><br>What has to be realised is that we are all very different people and won't always see eye to eye.<br><br>Miscommunication is part and parcel of roleplaying life, no one can see the other person behind the screen in order to decipher the mood in which they posted with. I had not intended to come across in such a way that was deemed as confrontational or argumentative in any way shape or form. I had merely been trying to stress a point. If we perhaps do as snow suggests and communicate better in the ooc area about what we are going to post or what we have posted, then I'm sure the game is still salvageable. I would hate for any one's hard work to be for naught. <br>
