[Lord Sithious]

So announcement! This forum area is now a U/C forum, so it'll be harder to find this. XD I'll try writing the thread for the official roleplay soon, so it's harder to lose. xp  

[Xelyn Craft]

Oh, of course! Take your time, just be sure to let me know when things are getting started. Because I'm eager to be a part of this. ^__^

Thank you! And definitely, I'll try and message everyone before we start! Note to everyone though, someone remind me if I forget. xd

Ah, actually the Cartels are South American. The Union is international.... Very international. So much so that they control pretty close to the lion's share of profits from organized crime in the world. Not all of it of course, but a lot. Other gangs and crime outfits are available to join too (or rather create), but The Union may also consider working with other crime groups, if profits can be made.

Sounds excellent! Though something I need to note. The Union is like Ogres, it has layers. rofl Seriously though, there are basically three levels of leadership. The bottom layer is for gangs and such that run around and do leg work, the second layer orders those folks around and reports to the top layer, a group of VERY mysterious and unknown individuals. They control things from the dark, and chances are that not a single one of them will be appearing in any FBI files anytime soon.

Mind if I suggest a Triumvirate (basically three people in charge)? I like that kind of conflict that it would generate, and the more leaders the more divided the powers come from each so three might be a good number for an international organization ((although crime family? Would be a little hard to spin imo.)).

You do bring up a good point, but originally my thought was that The Union was made up of quite a few powerful individuals, who all brought their own important assets to the table of the organization. As a thought, for consideration, it could start as a "board of directors", but internal conflicts could start a "civil war" within the top layer that leaves a Triumvirate. It wouldn't affect The Union too adversely either, since the Second layer knows to take orders and give them, they don't usually get involved in picking sides. During a civil war, they would continue business as usual to ensure the bottom layer stays in line. And no, The Union is not intended to be a crime family. A leader of a crime family could certainly be involved at the top, but it wouldn't go over so well if they were known to the FBI or other anti-crime organizations.

What do you think about all this?

Sounds good to me. Can't help but think to those darkened conference rooms ((Such as this)) for their meetings. Now to focus on my character's speciality in the organization...

Just made one of these to make it easier for everyone to get each others attention. xP I hate making them, but they do come in handy!

xd Not quite with the neon, but bang on! I usually imagine a long marble table, a HEAVY one too, not like a counter top with fake marble tiles or something like that on it. XD Usually in a dimly lit conference office of some kind, in a skyscraper of course (because nothing says power like a 70 story building! twisted ).

Sounds good though! I'm looking forward to seeing this character!
