Celestia has seen Apple Cider to be unfit for modern society. She has banned it from all pubs, and anyone caught producing or selling it will be thrown into prison. She has even created a new sector of the Equestrian Defense Force called Cider Acquisition Sector and. C.A.S. has spread throughout all of Equestria, with famous members such as Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie. However, The Prohibition has led to the rise of the first mafia's as well. The Apple Family, kicked out of their farm due to lack of Cider has turned to into a Mafia Family as well as the Flim Flam Brothers for there is much money and fame to be had. All three Organizations are currently looking for new members. Shall you join the C.A.S and protect Equestria from the evil ways of Cider? Protect the Apple Family? Or Bootleg and Kill in the name of Flim and Flam? You decide. ------------------------------------------ Group Descriptions: C.A.S: The Equestrian Equivalent to the FBI during the 1920's. The members of C.A.S will be a bit more independent however, and will have the freedom to do things if they deem it necessary though high profile things like raids will have to be Ok'ed by the higher ups. Using a more sneak and detective style of RP you will not stand a chance if you're caught in the open. Perhaps a small group of guards, but if you're going to be spying on a Flim Flam Cider Shipment warehouse, you better be silent. Escape with that information, and you'll be able to shut it down two days later. The Apple Family: The Apple Family is a close knit Mafia group. Not really long reaching, but they have heavy influence on the locals in Manehattan, preferred over the more violent and overbearing Mafia Gang run by Flim and Flam. However, Applejack values honesty and will not tolerate snitches. Once you join, your loyalty lies with them first and foremost. The Organization of the Family is a more simple one. You have Applejack who runs the family, Big Mac who runs the actual operations, and little AppleBloom who is in charge of spying on C.A.S and the Flim Flam Brothers. Guards are brought into the family and generally become well known by the community quickly. The overall goal of the The Apple Family is to supply the city with high quality Cider, make a profit, and get away with it with as little bloodshed as possible. Flim-Flam: The Flim Flam brothers joined into the Mafia business for one goal alone. Money and Power. They have huge arching influence all over Equestria, and they have recently expanded into Manehattan. They rule with a heavy hand and a Thommy. Cross them and you die. Betray them...Well, a rhyme is circulated a lot in the Mafia. "Snitch and get Stitched." Your mouth to be more specific. THey aren't afraid to get there hands dirty, which leads to the C.A.S targeting them more often. They have refineries all over the city and have hundreds of people working for them. Not only do they sell Cider, but extort the people as well, leading to the public hating and distrusting the group, but obeying in fear. The Flim Flam Mafia is currently at war with the Apple Family over territory and whoever wins gets full reign over the city. Flim and Flam are become extremely aggressive recently and have been shooting up bars that sell Apple Family Cider. AppleJack has responded by hiring more guards and attacking their refineries. ----------------------------------------- Character Sign Up Sheet. Name: Nickname: Gender: Race: Group: (Ex: C.A.S) Cutie Mark: Special Talent: Preferred Occupation: Why are they in the Mafia: ----------------------------------------- Occupation Descriptions: Guard: Protect the Movers and Refineries. Get excellent grade weapons and can't be afraid to kill. (For Flim Flam Guards you will also have the responsibility to extort money out of civilians.) Mover: The one who moves the Cider throughout the city. Must be able to talk your way out of trouble with the police and avoid your rival gang, lest you be shot and the Cider stolen. Spy: Gets information from the C.A.S and gangs. Generally armed with a revolver or hand gun of some sort, and has to call in for back up if they find something big. They will be doing the back room talks. Mafia's are more free with torture, though Flim and Flam have the most freedom in the area. (Flim Flam Snitches will be dealt with either Death or Stitching) If you do well in the RP, your higher up may promote you, giving you access to new abilities. Spies for the C.A.S may be promoted to Detective, giving you a special hotline to the police and create a raid right there instead of having to report back to the Higher Ups. That sort of thing. It encourages to stick to the values of the group you are in.
Name: Winter Warmth Nickname: Icy Hot Gender: Male Race: Unicorn Group: Flim Flam Cutie Mark: A frozen fireball Special Talent: Control of fire and ice Preferred Occupation: Spy (As long as he gets to do interrogations, that's kinda his specialty.)
Yea, I edited it in. You'll be doing plenty of back room interrogations. Maybe even stitch up a pony or two.
Name:Sun Blast Nickname:Sunny Gender:Female Race: Unicorn Group: (Ex: C.A.S) The Apple Family? Cutie Mark: A sun Special Talent: Can channel the sun's energy. Preferred Occupation: Mover/spy. Preferably spy, but, y'know. :derpe: Reason Why: Thought ponies should be able to choose their types of cider.
Heh, Good. And Eluuna, can you elaborate on "Channeling the Sun's energy"? In what way? Can she unleash it offensively? Create shields? Heal? Do all three? Edit: *Facehoof* Oh by Luna's arse! Do you two mind putting in why your character joined the Mafia? I'm sorry I forget to add it in at first, but it's important to know why they would enter such a risky enterprise.
Oh, sorry. . She can choose between strength, magic, and speed, and be powerful in that. However, she has a weakness where she has to "recharge" for a short period of time. - - Auto Merge - - Oh, and by the way, Flim and flam are terrifying now..
Ah! Sounds good. Though...If you'd allow me to tinker with your power a itsy bitsy...bit. When she recharges, do you mind making her grow weaker in all areas? Like...She absorbs the sun and gets faster. After it wears out not only is she slower then usual, but her magic is weaker and her strength is down as well. It'll make it so that Sunny has to really choose when to activate it.
Oh! Ha, Stupid little me. And I don't think so. Gotta wait for more people to show up. I will be controlling NPC's and Plot. No Facade this time. And I'm glad Flim and Flam scare you! Because if they don't, you will be swimming with the fishes the next time their movers come around.
Name: Robin hoof Nickname: The Hood Gender: male Race: unicorn Group: apple family. Cutie mark: target Special Talent: master gunman, whatever gun you give him he'll be able to use it. Preferred occupation: Gaurd Why are they in the mafia: After finding out about the prohibition and learning that the apple family were out of business he couldn't stand to watch a family so close to ponyvilles history just live in poverty so as soon as they said they needed guards he was the first to volunteer.
True Name: Pickpear Known Name: Mutsu Nickname: "Little" Mutsu (Since she's rather small for a mare; a runt.) Gender: Female Race: Unicorn Group: The Apple Family Cutie Mark: An Oaken Crosier Special Talent: Technically good at leadership, but due to traumatic abuse from her real family, she was taken in by somepony who ended up re-teaching her magic. She now has the ability to pick locks and disarm traps with her magic. Due to her quiet nature and unassuming figure, she's good at getting in and out of things un-noticed. Preferred Occupation: Spy Why are they in the Mafia: Somepony is watching these events from the shadows of the forest, and in an effort to protect the Apple Family from self-destruction he has planted Pickpear, one of his best spies, into their ranks. Mutsu is her cover name, picked after the dual-purpose Mutsu green apple, known for its sweet honey flavor and superb ability to be cooked.
Wow! More people then I thought would've joined. I thought more people would join Flim and Flam or the C.A.S...Ah, well. I'm sure I'll be able to work it out. But CobraBrony. I know what you wrote it probably just an exaggeration,but I need you to know we can't have The Hood getting a head shot every time. Guns back in the 20's weren't known for their accuracy. But besides that everyone checks out!
I can't just sit by while one of my prized pawns is in danger. The best way to ensure Applejack's survival is through my most productive agent.
