Titanic - The Roleplay

[King Acunasti ●]

Alright, just to start this little RP off, THIS IS NOT BASED ON THE MOVIE FROM THE 90's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With that said, this will probabaly be one of my last roleplays for a while. I'll still join other RP's, but you won't see one of mine until...Easter [likely]. So enjoy this, and join for God's sake!

Let's get this started, shall we? Unless you've been living under a rock for your entire life, you should know the story to this. This RP is based on the RMS Titanic (yes, the one that sunk). It will begin on April 10, 1912, the day the ship left Southampton, England, for New York. Here's some Titanic info for those of you that need some review.

In this roleplay, unlike my others, you can create up to three characters - One main character, and one/two side characters. Your side characters will go along with your main character's adventures. It also can give you more power. Side characters can be your main character's family members, boyfirend/girlfriend, close friends, etc...

MAIN CHARACTERS

You must have at least one main character. These characters must be in at least 75% of your posts. They are the bosses or leaders of your side characters (if you choose to have side characters). Here is the character sheet:

Code:

Name:

Gender:

Age:

Ethnicity:

Class (First, Second, Third):

Height:

Weight:

Hair Color:

Eye Color:

Physical Appearance:

SIDE CHARACTERS

Side characters are optional. You can have up to two of them. They should be in at least 25% of your posts (you don't have to do the percent calculations, just don't base the whole RP on one of your side characters). Just use the character sheet above to create your side characters if you choose to have them.

Also, when you post your side characters, put them in spoiler tags just to limit my confusion

The Rules

1. I'm the boss. You wanna mess with me, kid?
2. No super-characters (in other words, no presidents, kings, ruler of nations, etc...)
3. DO NOT control any other player's character or side characters!
4. Do not do anything that totally changes the events of Titanic (no gunfights in the middle of church)
5. Keep this realistic.
6. Have fun, mates.

So there ya have it. My character will be causing most of the problems on the Titanic, so don't worry about enemies. I gotcha covered.

MAIN CHARACTER

Name: Dante “Mr. Death” Marilio

Gender: Male

Age: 46

Ethnicity: Italian

Class (First, Second, Third): First Class

Height: 5’11”

Weight: 194 lbs

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Grey

Physical Appearance: Dante has a thin layer of fat covering his big muscles. His hair is kept rather short and no facial hair is present on his face. He wears a fine, highly expensive black suit and shoes with a bright red tie and a golden pocket watch. He wears a top quality black trench coat over the suit. He always carries a silenced Lugar in his coat, and keeps a Tommy Gun in his room for “emergencies”

Reason(s) for Bing on Titanic: Dante wishes to reach New York to spread his “business” to America for greater profit.

Occupation: Sicilian Mafioso

Personality: Having grown accustomed to being well-known and very well-feared, Dante is very classy, calm, and tough. Given his great position in the world of organized crime, he has very little fear of anything. He is generally kind, but is slightly annoyed by children and the poor.

Background: Dante is a boss of Marilio Clan of the Sicilian Mafia. He is the most feared man in Sicily, so ruthless that he even gained the title “Mister Death”. Those with a high position under his reign have earned it, seeing that they have lived to gain such a rank. He was born in Rome, but moved to Sicily at age ten, almost immediately becoming involved in criminal activity.

SIDE CHARACTERS

#1

Spoiler:

Name: Larry “Bullets”

Gender: Male

Age: 37

Ethnicity: Italian

Class: First Class

Height: 5’9”

Weight: 178 lbs

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Blue

Physical Appearance: Larry wears a fine white suit with a white cap on top of his head. He wears a shining pair of black shoes with a golden tie under his jacket. He, like his comrades, carries a silenced Lugar Pistol in his jacket. He is a very handsome man - a big hit with the ladies and has a very romantic voice.

Reason(s) for Being on Titanic: Larry is one of the top hit men in the world of organized crime. He is accompanying Dante on the trip to New York to protect his superior.

Occupation: Sicilian Mafioso

Personality: Larry is extremely calm, even more calm than the boss himself. He is very kind, but will do anything Dante tells him to do. He would even kill his best friend if it was an order from the boss. As you can see, he is very loyal.

Background: Little is known about Larry’s early life. He became associated with the Marilio Clan at age 16. He quickly arose in the ranks of the organization, and is one of Dante’s most trusted members. He gained the nickname “Bullets” for his great brutality and lack of remorse, having killed up to 38 men in one week.

#2

Spoiler:

Name: Jimmy “Brick”

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Ethnicity: Italian

Class: First Class

Height: 6’4”

Weight: 208 lbs

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Green

Physical Appearance: Jimmy is an extremely strong man who wears a faded pair of pants with drawstrings and a white button-down shirt that he always keep rolled up. He has a big nose and small eyes. He wears a brown pair of shoes. Like the other two, he keeps a silenced Lugar Pistol hidden in his shirt-pocket. He also has a Tommy Gun kept in the room in case of an “emergency”.

Reason(s) for Being on Titanic: Dante keeps Jimmy around for protection, and nothing more.

Occupation: Sicilian Mafioso

Personality: The saying “The bigger, the dumber” fits Jimmy quite well. Jimmy is one of the stupidest men in the Marilio Clan. However, he is smart enough to know who is his boss. Out of the entire Clan, Jimmy is by far the most loyal to Dante. He is generally a very ugly person, with a deep voice that fits an idiot well.

Background: Like Larry, not much is known about Jimmy’s early life. As a young man in his twenties, Jimmy was struck in the head by one of Dante’s men, and never fully recovered. Dante had the man who had injured Jimmy shot twice in each kneecap and then shot three times in the face. Jimmy still remains the strongest of the Clan, and is kept around by Dante for protection.

Now start joining, people!

I know, I know, I was leaving, but is this not a roleplay? Is it not a roleplay by King A? Is it not, by mathematical conclusion, a roleplay that I am automatically compelled to join?!?

Personality: rather goofy at times, though fun to be around. Not exactly the cleverest of souls, but generally quite sweet.
