Crime and Punishment
After watching "The Departed" and "Donnie Brasco" (as well as some other assorted mob movies), I've been bitten by a sudden inspiration for something organized crime-related.

The Plot
So, this is admittedly a very vague pitch, but I'm craving something grand and gritty. Intrigue, love, betrayal, power-plays, family drama and a good pinch of sex, drugs and violence thrown in for good measure. Think "Game of Thrones" just in a modern urban setting (though I might be talked into something set in the 20s or 50s), if that makes sense.
Instead of a a fleshed out plot, I'm going to list some general themes and character-ideas below, to build a proper plot from with my partner.  

Themes
  • Good Boys/Girls falling for Bad Boys/Girls
  • Corruption- and Redemption-Arcs
  • Innocent bystanders getting dragged into a world of organized crime
  • Sex, Drugs and Rock'N'Roll
  • Crooked Cops/Politicians/Businessmen
  • Undercover Cops getting in too deep
  • Nosy Journalists snooping around
  • Arms-, Drugs-, and Human Traficking
  • Illegal Streetraces
  • Gambling
  • Ambitious Mobsters rising to power
  • ...


Character Ideas
Some assorted faceclaims and vague character-concepts

  • The younger son and daughter of a russian mob-boss, who desperately want a bigger piece of their father's business
  • A russian mobster's (semi-happy) trophy-wife
  • Russian gangsters of various flavours (1, 2, 3)
  • A cartel-heiress and her loyal right-hand man
  • A bike-riding sicario
  • A cold-blooded Yakuza-boss and his (mostly) loyal wife
  • Charming and Tough members of the clan
  • Sex-Workers of varying genders and price-ranges (1, 2, 3(NSFW), 4, 5, 6, 7)
  • Delinquent Youths(16+) of various flavours (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
  • Charming rogues and petty criminals (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
  • Local trailer-park lads and ladies (1, 2, 3)
  • Two spoiled upper-class sisters (1, 2)
  • A tired old hitman
  • A slick gangster and her nephew
  • Innocent bystanders, getting dragged into the criminal underworld (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

If you'd like some inspiration, here's a small collection of FC's I'd love to play against
(But feel free to bring your own!)

What I’m looking for in a partner
Now, “requirements” is a hard word, but since this idea has been brewing a while at the back of my head, I might be a bit picky in terms of partners here.
That being said, don’t take this more as a wishlist than hard requirements.


  • Enthusiasm: This is the most important and a non-negotiable part. I can get really excited about a story and I’d like a partner who shares that excitement.
  • Someone willing to play someNPCs/Sidecharacters as required
  • A Switch-Writer: Not necessarily switch characters (although those are always welcome as well!). There might be some bad things happening to our characters. I equally enjoy being on the recieving or giving end of darker topics and would highly prefer a partner who’s similar in that regard
  • Communication: Is generally a good thing, I’ve been told. Since this plot might include some darker topics, it’s quite important that we stay within each others comfort-zones. And if we end up having to retcon an entire scene, because one of us wasn’t as okay with the content as they thought, that’s fine. No judgement there and safety first.
  • Someone who likes to put some effort into world-, character-, and plot-building: While there will certainly be a fair share of lewdness in this plot, I’m still more interest in a strong story filled with drama, romance and character-development, so some enthusiasm in that regard would be very welcome. If the idea of creating a worldbuilding-thread to store information about characters, locations and other details of the setting is a turn-off for you, this might be not your cup of tea.
  • Someone who’s open to both queer and straight pairings: I’m quite flexible in that regard and what fun is a coming-of-age-story, where the characters explore their sexuality, if they can’t experiment a little?
  • Finally, and most importantly: Fun! That’s the whole point in the end, isn’t it?

Final Notes
So, if you made it through all of my rambling: Congratualtions!
If the prompt above caught your fancy, feel free to drop me a message!
If you do though, please be so kind to give me a bit more than “I’d like to play this.”
Please, do share all the thoughts, ideas and character-concepts you might have, tell me what themes you find interesting, what kinks you’d like to include and which ones you'd rather avoid…Especially with a pretty open-ended pitch like this, a first message can’t be too long!
