Characters/Sample Character

Introduction:
Los Diablos, in its “high time,” was a city infested with the Mafia, which even meant that the small police force was nearly entirely made if bribed police officers or even the Mafia members themselves. However, this soon came to the realization of some bigger forces, who “swept out” the Mafia. Of course, the Mafia, having grown so much in the city, was able to lay dormant until the federal forces left. By then, though, the playing field was leveled. The police force was clean again, with harder-to-corrupt members. The gangs not affiliated with the Mafia had somehow avoided the attention of the federal forces and grew to a stronger body. The terrorists, even as their numbers dwindled, somehow began finding better and stronger weapons. And the Mafia, which used to rule over all, had to struggle just to survive the streets.

Overview:
The basic layout of Los Diablos is as such: It is made of several different “groups” – the Mafia, a growing force that has the advantage of surprise after being “wiped out,” the police, the law enforcement that tries to keep the others in check, the gangs, groups that, while typically doing things against the police, have no ties to the Mafia, the terrorists, extremist groups that slip in and out of police radar, and mercenaries, agents who do things for money, and can one moment be on an assassination job for the Mafia just to kill the Mafia boss himself.



The Mafia:
The Mafia, after the operation by federal officials, has had their power of the police force severed. While they have made several intrusions, into the ranks of police, more often than not, both the briber and the one being bribed are caught and jailed, tearing apart the ranks of the still weak Mafia. Still, as a “base” was recreated and heavily concealed, the Mafia is continuing to grow.

Bonus:
-The Mafia got a main based that is heavy guarded
-The Mafia Leader starts out with 5 Guards that he controls (can be taken by other members, but then you have to stick around with the leader. What fun is that?).
-The Mafia Leader starts out whit $2500 Gold, members $500

History: John, as he grew up, was his parent's "perfect child" - straight A's, great athletics, and the sort. After he graduated from college with an undergrad major in law, though, he was tricked by a strange phone call into making him believe that one of his friends had done something terrible. The calls continued, until a fat check arrived in John's mailbox attached to a gun and a note. After John had killed his friend, he realized the horror of what he had done and staged his own suicide, driving his car off into a raging river that drained into the deep sea. He quickly took up an alias, moving away as far as he could from New Jersey to Los Diablos. Before he knew it, he was working with the strange voice on the phone, performing small jobs. And then the voice stopped calling, and, with the training he had recieved, John moved into the world.

During this time anyone even SUSPECTED to be in the FLQ was hunted out by the canadain authorities and jailed....they simply couldn't risk the rebelion to get out of hand. Krz's parents were no exception. Eventully the terrorist organization was shut down and all those arrested were pardoned. Krz's parents still stayed friends with some of their old commarades.

When Krz was 11 his parents were brutally murdered by a mafia soldier. Krz was alone, so some of those former FLQ members decided to look after him. Eventully Krz learned the location of the mafia soldier who killed his parents, and found out that since that time, this soldier has become the right hand man for the Mafia Boss in Los Diablos. Through the help of some of his caretaker's contacts, Krz made his way for Los Diablos....and now he is here to avenge his parents, and to fight a personal war against the family that killed his.....what ever it takes.

He is known quite well to the local mafia...and they as of yet don't know his plans of assasinating one of their own.
