There are two figures in this room. One sitting in a smaller chair, an initiate, and a man sitting in a much larger, leather chair. His dark eyes flick over them as golden light from a nearby lamp dances across his face, the only source of illumination in the mostly dim room. His thick fingers thread together as he leans forwards, resting his elbows atop the mahogany table.

He is the one to speak first. “When you hear the word ‘mafia,’” he says, watching the person across from him carefully, “what do you think?”

The silence sits for a few moments. A mafia: an organized crime syndicate whose primary activities are protection racketeering, arbitrating disputes between criminals, and brokering and enforcing illegal agreements and transactions. And so forth, and so on. This is not an unfamiliar topic to this initiate, whether or not they were aware of what they were getting into or not. Either way, this question makes them blink, and the man smiles.

“Heh- don’t worry, I already know. A lot of people think the same thing. And then a lot of other people think the same thing, too.” He gets to his feet, waving a hand. “But I wanna talk about this- so let’s talk about it.” He walks around the desk, not acknowledging the guards that stand at either side of the double-doored entrances as he sits down on the desk, right beside the initiate. His form is quite imposing, covered in a dark pinstriped suit, with a shadow of a black beard and steely dark brown eyes.

“People look at the idea of a ‘mafia’ and imagine all of those crime movies, right? Brothers in arms, making money, selling drugs, getting messy, giving protection. I can tell you a lot of those things are right, right here and right now, especially in this case, but,” he holds up a finger, “the word mafia actually comes from the Sicilian adjective mafiusu, which roughly translated means ‘swagger,’ or in some cases, ‘bravado.’”

He chuckles as the initiate reacts, crossing his arms over his chest. “So, long story short: you’ve joined Bravado. Doesn’t that sound cool?” He flashes a bright, pearly-white grin, tilting his head and brushing a black curl away from his face, at least until his eyes darken and he suddenly becomes incredibly intense. “I bet it does. But Bravado is more than just a mafia- it is Bravado. And if you plan on staying here, I hope you plan on staying truthful to it.”

The man stands up then, turning away from the initiate and walking closer to a painting hanging on the back wall. One of a knight in shining armor, sword drawn against looming shadow. It is quiet for a while before the man turns around again.

“The citizens of this city call us the monsters, but little do they know, there are actual monsters in their midst, and now that you’ve joined us, I can say that it’s our job to defeat them.”

Welcome to Bravado!

The premise of this rp, if the previous little dribble wasn't explanatory enough, is that the characters involved have joined a mafia that, rather than do typical 'mafia' things, fights living, actual monsters in their city. I'm not talking about the figurative ones- I'm talking about the literal ones.

They basically explode banks, offer protection, and kill people because that is how they get to the monsters. It isn't because they're doing it for the money, it's because they're brave enough to do it.

Whether your character knows all of this upon sign up or not, I'm sure that this story will play out magnificently! I'm thinking about making a discord where I can answer questions, help with rp and character building, etc.

It's probably going to have at least a little dice rolling involved, just so that everything doesn't quite go as smoothly as people can hope. I'm also going to try to lead people through this similar to a DnD game?? But it's going to be really casual.

There are some characters that have magic but most if not all characters are human. There may be some exceptions to this but it would need to be discussed beforehand.

Otherwise this is a current time, modern and somewhat dark?? city rp that's seeking at least a few players. Let me know if you have any questions!
Magic 70%
Magic is fairly common. Players and NPCs important to the tale may have it. Mistborn.
Technology 50%
Modern
Combat 70%
More combat than not. The setting may be at war, and the characters will likely get involved whether or not they seek it out.

Details: Occasional dice use, adjustable length posts, long-term RP partner preferred.
