[Harlekin]

Just don't forget about the riddle the GCPD left for you.

Writting the response now actually, It's taken me a while to drag my mind back into his persona, it's a scary place to be honest, if I start writting in first person, let me know before I murder someone......

 

[trustyside-kick]

Eh, scratch what I said earlier. I thought about it and I really shouldn't.

 

[Blacklight]

MB, did you get my PM?

 

[Eddie Brock]

Well, Gordon has arrived. Commence the mingling because The Joker will be crashing before the night (IC) is over. :bat:

 

[Saved]

I don't know how important this is or not...but uh, Firefly isn't a proffessional theif...he's a pyrotechnic specialist as a job, and an arsonist or pyromaniac as his crimes.

Hey guys, just got back from a little vacation, and realized I haven't posted in while. I hope I'm still involved. If so, I was hoping to make a post tomorrow, concerning the party. Eddie, if you don't mind, I sort of want Maroni's mafia to make a bit of a proposal to the Joker, ala what is expected to happen in TDK. Anyhow, let me know what you think.

Thanks.

An amendment to the five families:

FBI FILES - THE FIVE FAMILIES OF GOTHAM CITY

- The Falcone family
Currently in disarray, the Falcone family was originally headed up by Carmine "The Roman" Falcone. It seems that the vigilante Batman has a personal vendetta against this family, having worked hard to break up the organisation, even before the death of Carmine. Alberto Falcone, the Roman's son, recently returned. What role he will play is uncertain.

- The Maroni family
Succeeding his father Luigi "Big Lou" Maroni, Salvatore Maroni runs a tight ship. With the Falcone family out of the works for a while and the Zucco family just up and running, Maroni is undoubtedly the most powerful mob boss in Gotham. The other families are just too minor to resist. Maybe we could guide the Bat to Maroni. Sal seems to like the high life.

-> Off-shoot: The Zucco crew
Headed up by Tony Zucco, currently spending time in jail on a weapons charge. Expected to be out in a few months. Originally a member of Maroni's family but was able to convince a few members of the broken Falcone family to join his side. His right-hand man Edward Skeevers runs things in Zucco's place. The anomisity between Maroni and Zucco has simmered to a truce, but one that could break at any time.

- The Bertinelli family
Influential family, but without a lot of resources. The head of the family, Guido Bertinelli is showing some striking resemblances to Tony Soprano. Talks a big game, and is very personal about his honour. We've got multiple tabs on them. If we ever plan to take him down, we'll need some leverage to convince some of Guido's family to flip. He has a daughter, Helena Rosa Bertinelli, who might be useful in that capacity. The family has close ties to the Inzerillo's.

- The Inzerillo family
The family with the least public exposure. Jack Inzerillo has made sure that his family stays out of the limelight, thereby avoiding the GCPD and Gotham's vigilantes. Sources in both the GCPD and the criminal circuit say there's a Detective with ties to the family: Detective Sergeant Vincent Del Arrazio. He's a cousin to Jack. He could be useful; he's worked with us before.

- The Moxon family
This family's business has been slow for a while now, but the return of Lew Moxon, the boss, chances are that is about to change. Rumours are abound about the potential succesor to the aging mob boss. Moxon has relatively legit ambitions, having a failed career in politics and spending some time amongst the rich and famous of Gotham before going into exile.

If Mistah J feels like crashin the party, how 'bout during Dent's speech. Taste for the theatrical an all that puddin'

 

[Apprentice]

Byrd, I hope you don't mind the bunny. I just figured that was a good time for Bruce to cut in.

 

[Saved]

I'll be getting my first posts up today at somepoint.

 

[Apprentice]

You get my PM?

 

[Saved]

Yeah. Thanks for the info. Oh, yeah. Should Montoya go to the party at Wayne Manor? Cause I figure if she isn't invited, she'll be showing up anyway. What with Joker and all.

 

[Harlekin]

Aw, does little Rachel Dawes have a wittle crush on Adrian Chase?

 

[Apprentice]

Aw, does little Rachel Dawes have a wittle crush on Adrian Chase?

Maybe It's more the other way around though.

 

[Harlekin]

Ah man, Adrian Chase is going to be an adulterer? That'll be interesting.

 

[Apprentice]

Ah man, Adrian Chase is going to be an adulterer? That'll be interesting.

Not necessarily. Just because he flirts with her, it doesn't mean he's gonna be acting on it.

Could be an interesting take on things, though...

 

[Harlekin]

True, true. It'll be interesting to see what you do with him.

 

[Byrd Man]

I never commented, but that was a nice "party" post, Harl. Setting up alot of things for the future, Alan Scott, Floyd Lawton, maybe even Vigliante.

 

[Harlekin]

Thanks, Byrd. I was kinda waiting for someone to comment on that. I'm hoping to do stuff like that more. Little vignettes that show Gotham City outside our characters.

And of course, I love setting things up and introducing characters. I think this has the potential to one of the best, and more importantly, most interactive RPGs around.

 

[Saved]

Where is vigilante (II or III) technically stationed in the comic world? Cause I know Vigilantee III was always around D-stroke.

 

[Byrd Man]

I think Adrian Chase primarily operated out of NYC.

 

[Harlekin]

Yep, the second to fourth Vigilantes were NYC based. Pat Trayce, the fifth, ended up globe-trotting, working in security and was indeed trained by Deathstroke.

 

[Saved]

According to some of the places I looked him up on, he doesn't have a stationary base. It'd be cool if one day we could hook him up in Gotham. He was such a secluded character in his series. (At least, that's wwhat I think from the five issues I've read.)

 

[Apprentice]

I had no idea there were so many Vigilantes!
