mafia attack plotting post

All right, so here's an OOC plotting post for the attack on the mafia! There's no date set for it, because I wanted to make sure it worked for whoever wanted in, but ideally it'll take place in the next week or so.

The meeting will have Albero present, along with a large number of high ranking mafia members. Mods will be NPCing Albero as needed, and may also provide any other NPCing, if people want/need other stuff. I'm assuming the other mafia members can be NPCed by players attacking them, however.

I'll set a couple of threads below for specific plotting - date discussion, those going to the meeting, and those who'd want to do something with the recordings and other information Nick has. And, of course, feel free to start your own threads.

If you want your character to participate but don't want to tag into the network post, just comment here and we can handwave them signing up or whatever! I know it's a busy time of the year for people.

UPDATE on the date of the attack and structure of the attack log here! Unless anyone has conflicts, the attack will take place on the night of Monday, December 8th.

My only preference for date is Not A Weekend. Other than that, I'm wide open.

If it's not too much I'd like to request that it start on December 6th (or later)? I'm just going to be swamped to the death straight up through Friday but I really would like to get Danny involved.

As long as it happens at night, Lyall is there, in wolf form, looking after his guy >.> Otherwise, he's playing scout with nose and ears outside, but staying out of the actual trouble.

ETA: Actual plotting. Lyall actually hasn't done much (any?) fighting in wolf form before. He's going to find out the hard way that he doesn't actually always keep his mind, in wolf form (at least right now) as soon as he actually has to engage someone in combat. He won't go fully moon-mad, but he definitely won't remember who he is and what he's supposed to be doing, so anyone deemed threatening or dangerous is likely to get bitten, or at least snarled at. He'll need talking down to get himself back, once you don't need an angry wolf around anymore.

Okay, so I've had this plot with Raye in development for some time and I figure it's about time to pull the trigger on it.

Basically, confronting the mafia will cause Raye to finally lose control of her anger and will trigger a berserker transformation.

In effect this will turn her into a rampaging, hyper destructive monster that will attack anything even vaguely aggressive toward her with no distinction between friend or foe. Her first target will be the mob though so characters can avoid her rampage largely by staying out of her way, although collateral damage will certainly be a thing that happens.

There are loose plans in place to snap her out of this form but I figured it was best to put this up here to give people a heads up and see if anybody wanted to plot around it. Either being involved or dodging the incident completely.

L has a major axe to grind with Albero and will be available to help however he can, even if it's just keeping an eye on things from afar. As much as he would like to be there in person he's not superpowered or dumb and he won't insist on it, but he is great with recon, surveillance, tech stuff, coordination, interrogation, and even translation if stereotypical goons insist on communicating exclusively in Sicilian.

Tl;dr I don't think L would want to be on the front lines or be useful there, but he would want to help with his particular skill set as much as possible!

Emi will be doing anything she can to help, up to and including killing a few high-up bosses herself. If she can't kill Albero, she wants to see it happen.

Danny will do whatever it takes to put the mafia madness to an end, short of straight up killing anyone (although boy does he kind of want to).

He can take on mafia lackeys or help in the rush to get Albero himself, wherever he's needed he's more than happy to help as long as this is the end of their mafia troubles. He'll even provide cover and help anyone who's going straight for Albero themselves--he'll do anything as long as he doesn't deal the killing blow.

So Hajime is definitely going to show up to smash things as the Lord of the Bugmen, and he will be more than happy to fight whatever needs to be fought.

Torin's going to be involved, although he might be uniquely suited to questioning--he's got his love gun, and he could in theory make a mafia goon fall madly in love with any one of the Numbered, at which point they'd quite possibly respond well to questions assuming those questions were accompanied by a little batting of the eyelashes. I haven't really had him get into an actual fight transformed, so I'm very tempted to throw him in there, too. He's really very tired of this mafia stuff, and he wants to put an end to it.

Xander will most likely either helping out with stealth (thanks shadow mimicry and being able to take one person with him) or up in the front lines due to being able to fight & being immortal. Except that he might loose himself to his sadistic and vengeful traits he echoed back. He'll try his best to not give in, but there's no promises.

Richard's getting sick of pussyfooting around these guys. He's been opposed to violence so far, but it's got to the point of thinking that's probably the only thing that's going to hit them hard enough to get rid of them.

He wants in on this, he's got a score to settle and he finally has the power behind him to actually be really useful in a fight (can we say flashstepping ninja, anyone?).

Shou has been picking off random goons for food here and there, but not as much as he should and is a bit hungry. While the altered DNA might not be that good for him, he will still go after the mafia as only a half-starved vampire could. He's pretty much bullet-proof, tearing limbs proof but hasn't regained his full vampire powers yet, so am thinking that this fight would trigger something vampiric for him. Here's hoping it's not the bloodlust frenzy XD

Anyways, he's good with tactics ala gangster related stuff, guns and as a meat shield.

Tony's got an axe to grind with these guys too, and there's no way he'd be sitting on the sidelines while his allies are all going in. Count him in.

Arthur's in! Also, he won't have any compunctions with killing--he'll be all for that, after a number of attacks!

Thorir is supplying weapons to all that need them; modern firearms, but also more traditional swords and axes can be had.


That aside, it looks like Thorir, Isabela, Fil, the now unnumbered Hjalti and maybe more people will join in on the attack. None of them have special superpowers, but they're all pretty good fighters.

WOW LOOK AT THIS UNFASHIONABLE LATENESS

Walter would be there, though he'd be... subtle-ish. The most subtle way he can manage, anyway. He'll have his poncho of (almost) invisibility, his sword, and his bow/arrow set. He'd like to offer some quiet support, and if the opposition started to flee, he'd try to stop them. He is not interested in killing anyone, but... accidents happen.

It still feels weird Saretha somehow wound up here.

But she's still of the opinion that any outright attacks upon the mafia isn't going to end well - at least not without exposing Albero first, as she thinks that will be the final nail in their Locke publicity coffin.

Still, even though she'll argue about it she's not going to outright try to fight other Numbered head-to-hand without someone's life hanging on the line (re: the Robynapping) and WOULD at least like to get any incriminating information to the FBI.

Rakka, as much as she's like to fight some mafia members up close and personal, knows that she doesn't really stand a chance against most of them.

So, she'll be working on this side of the battle, looking for information, and even going out to help whoever gets caught in the crossfire of the battle. She's due for an equipment failure soon, but she's still going to try her best.

Eugen will be strictly against this operation and will ask Nick for the information (which he will then pass to the FBI). I've been informed that the FBI will not interfere directly with the operation, so this certainly won't disrupt anything. They will be upping surveillance around the town and calls back agents to be on standby in case things go nuts and endanger the masses.

The FBI will however, arrange for safe houses for Numbered/family who are not participating in this operation but these safe houses are located outside of echo boundaries. They have to move themselves to these location though, so as to not alert the mafia if the FBI starts moving Numbered/family out.

Eugen himself will be in Germany, so he won't be participating directly unless he has a reason to be there.

NPC information!

[personal profile] theearth 2014-11-29 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
For all your self-NPCing needs.

> Mafia goons (not the higher ups, but at this point most of the medium level mafia members are altered as well) are all altered, some of them very heavily. Have them spliced with whatever you wish - depending on their animal dna, their abilities and looks will be different. Each person can only be spliced with one animal.

> Altered mafia members are also manipulated to be very obedient to the higher ups and protect them at all costs, more so than they would normally be. This can go up to the point where they are willing human shields if a PC opens fire on a higher up/Albero.

> There is a number of women in the mafia, but men are the majority. Most have English as a native language. Some dislike the numbered, some are only opportunistic or don't care - basically, have at it and have fun!

If there are any other questions re: NPCs, please ask! We absolutely encourage people NPCing themselves.

Not a question, but rather a note:

I will be NPCing a Very Special altered mafia goon attacking numbered in this whole mess. They'll also be in an uncontrolled frenzy, in addition to being altered, soooo if anyone wants some extra drama in their fight, or just generally to have someone else NPC the mafia goon they're fighting, let me know! I'd be more than happy to plan an encounter or tag your characters in the fight log.

I just have one question; is it reasonable to assume that the attack may trigger some danger in Locke or around the thing that people who aren't interested in taking Albero down would be able to get in on?
