Hustle

OOC:
Hi! So, I'm relatively new to this site, and to the "storybooks" here. This is the first one I've created, but I'm definitely looking forward to it. I don't have any particular direction I want the plot to go, so things can really change direction based on what each contributing author wants. I would like to ask that if you're going to radically change the plot, though (assassinate a main NPC, or something like that) that you PM me beforehand so we can figure out how that'll work. Oh, and please do PM me with any ideas and suggestions. As this is my first time making a storybook, I'm sure it's got plenty of flaws.

Plot:
New Geneva City has always been the so-called 'Organized Crime Capital of the World'. It's known to foster violent and turbulent wars between criminal syndicates, and has spawned its share of corrupt politicians and policemen. The everyday civilians can usually feel the sting of crime here, too: homicide, robbery, and burglary rates are exponentially higher than anywhere else in the world, and an estimated 85% of businesses are actively extorted. Mob bosses rake in millions of dollars annually through an assortment of rackets, from drug-peddling to contract killings.

After years and years of blatant corruption, the government has stepped in. Through the Anti-Crime Unit, or the A.C.U., they have continuously implanted informants and undercover agents in all of the various gangs plaguing New Geneva City. The players will be taking the role of an undercover agent. These agents are most likely small-time criminals who the A.C.U. approached for recruitment, or long-time law enforcement agents who are shifting focuses and units.

Anyone is welcome to join! I'd be glad to have you.

So, I'll start things off with my character:

Name: Walter Giansante.
Gender: Male.
Age: 21.
Appearance: Walter stands at just-above six-feet-even. His body is slender and tanned, with occasional strands of tawny muscle clinging to each gawky limb. He has short-cut black hair, and dark brown eyes. There is a tattoo across his shoulder blades, and, though it is disfigured lightly by some variant of a knife wound, it reads: "morte prima del disonore". It is accompanied by a caricature-styled sketch of a skull with a disproportionately long shadow.
Brief History: Walter spent most of his childhood in-and-out of trouble with the law, his family, and local thugs. He developed a nasty history as a thief and conman before leaving his teenage years, and racked up an impressive criminal record. After spending his twenty-first birthday in prison, he was approached by the A.C.U. with an unusual offer: undercover work.

Name: Sudusis Ryollin

Age: 18
Appearance: Around 5foot 8 in height. Dark hair, sholder length. Pale skin. Freckles. Blue eyes, thin. Has a distinctive birthmark on her left sholder in the shape of a heart, and has two piercings in each of her ears.

Name:
Soo Min Hee (She's Korean, so her last name is first. It's read 'Min Hee Soo' in Canada, I guess.) She also goes by Minnie or Mimi

Gender:
Female

Age:
A young nineteen

Appearance:
Minnie is a cute Korean with a bright smile. The type of girl you'd never suspect to be through the amount of hardships she has. Long dark hair with she usually ties back so that only some hair is hanging out. She has dark eyes that seem to reflect her every emotion. She wears bright colours that contrast against her pale skin. Minnie stands at around five foot five, with a slender and lithe build that can easily manouvre in and around things.

Brief History:
Min Hee was born and raised in New Geneva. Her parents had grown up in New Geneva, and she wouldn't doubt that her grandparents had been born and raised there too. Min Hee's father was always involved in gangs, and was actually a master at what he did. As for her mother? Well, she was the type of woman that moved around a lot from person to person -- the type every woman despised for tarnishing their image. The two had three children together, Min Hee being the youngest. With the amount of children they had, they worked hard to stay together, and not quarrel and split up.

But one evening, apparently Minnie's father owed someone a lot of money. They broke into the house, holding the parents at gun point and stealing Min Hee and her older brother, Min Ki. The Soo's eldest son escaped by pure luck, while Minnie and Min Ki were stuffed into dark cars and separated from one another. They haven't seen eachother -- or their family -- since.

Min Hee was forced into a life where she would always be stricken with guilt; it doesn't make a difference that she was seven, or that she is now nineteen -- she is still forced to steal, and act as a decoy for others. But if she were asked why she never left her life that she was forced into, Min Hee would reply that she didn't have anywhere else to go ... maybe.

OOOH! Hey, this sounds great! I'll join!

They were insanely close until she found out he was a serial killer and turned him in. Now she's being protected by the A.U.C., while occasionally doing undercover work as a decoy.

Bleh, really short, but I'm the kinda person who has to flesh out a character as I go. So, can we start?

Name: Desmond Alucard Miles

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Appearance: Desmond stands about 5' 8'' and is built like a football player. He is covered in layers of muscle that give many people the appearance that he is stupid and slow but he is incredibly smart and fast. He has light blue eyes and blond hair that he keeps reasonably short, but it is starting to grow out again. Whenever it is longer it stays in a continual state of disarray. He is quite handsome, but he has an air about him that causes many to not trust him.

Brief History: He grew up in a very bad part of town and crime was a natural choice. He Used his natural charm and his ability to make complicated plots and schemes. By the time he was twenty he was already known as one of the best thieves in New Geneva. But he had another talent. Killing. Along with thieving he is also an accomplished assassin, if he believes that the person deserves to die. Despite being a thief and murderer he has a strong sense of right and wrong and follows it to the button. He was approached by A.C.U. a month after his sister was accidentally killed in a gang war that tore across his neighborhood. They promised him a chance at revenge and he signed up.
