i'll make you an rp you can not refuse

Desc:
In an alternative history Earth, magic was discovered and harnessed humans early at around 250 A.D. While mostly utilized by other races, magic would continue to be studied by all races, including humans. However, even with existence of magic, technology still developed parallel to real life's technological development. Now it's the early 90's, and the United States is booming, especially the good ol' city of Las Vegas. However, much of the Strip and many parts of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area is under control of various Mafia families. Rising tension among these said families could cause a full-on war. There are a lot of paths this could go down, but it has to go down one path.

Families:

Wilson Family:
This family is notorious for their gambling schemes and weapon smuggling. Being responsible for the Fermont St. Shootout in 1987, which led to 67 deaths, they have are quite high on the LVMPD's "hit list." Led by John Wilson, a 39 year old man who personally is involved with the family business, his confirmed kill count is 73.

Hervas Family:
This Mexican-American family is infamous for their drug dealing, they have highly suspected (yet unconfirmed) ties to the Mexican Cartel. They are connected to at least 15% deaths related to drugs in the Las Vegas Metropolitan area. And around 7% in the West Coast. Led by Gonzales Hervas, ex-convict and is on the Mexico's government most wanted list.

Morgan Family:
This family is prominent in the chop-shop business and check/cash fraud. Previous based in San Fransisco, this family had to relocate due to the discovery of their warehouses and headquarters by the California National Guard. Led by Nathan Morgan, who is rumored to have moles situated in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Nevada National Guard.

Government Factions:

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department:
The LVMPD is the frontline against crime in the Las Vegas Valley. Their track record against crime is suboptimal, however, with the inauguration of the new police force chief Tom Carter, that track record is projected to change. Their current goal is to prevent a full out mafia war on the streets, which could result in massive causalities.

Federal Bureau of Investigation - Nevada District:
The Nevadan District of the FBI have the three major mafia families in their sights, their current plan is to gather intel on all three families, by any means necessary. They've situated moles in each family, gathering information and giving it to the FBI.

Nevada National Guard:
With tensions rising among the families, the National Guard has been deployed to hopefully deter the families from breaking out war on the public streets. While they aren't the United States Army, it's better than nothing. If war does break out among the families and it spills out onto the streets, they are to de-escalate the situation by any means necessary and to evacuate civilians in the area.

General Info:

This is modern-fantasy, so this is basically your generic mafia RP, but with magic involved.

Cars, guns, computers, and all that stuff exists, but so does magic.

While magic exists and is still used to this day, that doesn't mean guns are useless. In fact, guns are as powerful, if not more powerful than almost all magic. (Key word almost)

Since this is part fantasy, your character is not required to be human.

Guidelines:

This is a quick guide on how to RP.

1 - Pick a family or government faction

2 - Make a new thread with the head comment listing out your character and family/faction of choice.

3 - Wait for reply from me, then the RP will begin.

Depending on what faction you choice, the RP will change with that choice.

Government - Focused on deterring violence among the families, gathering information on the families, and bringing those families down. If war is to break out, the goal will shift to minimizing civilian casualties.

Mafia - Focused on gathering intel on the other families, supporting the family you're in through business. If war is to break out, the goal will shift to trying to tear down the other families or attempting to institute peace, either through diplomacy or force.

[Jeremy Mansfield, LVMPD trainee.] {V=1.}

He'd be chilling in the break room at the LVMPD Headquarters. Chief Tom Carter would enter the room, all the police officers standing at attention at the sight of him.

*I wave at Tom, it's a slow start to this morning.*

Tom would glare a look at Jeremy, the look being the stand-the-f**k-up-and-stand-at-attention-because-im-in-the-room look.

*I stand up.*

Tom: "Report to the debriefing meeting in ten minutes, I want all of you to be there."

He'd leave.

*I nod and I immediately head to the debrief room.*

10 minutes later.

All of the officers in the police force would have congregated in the debrief room, Tom would head up to the podium.

Tom: "As you know, I was inaugurated last week as Chief of the LVMPD. Recently, tension between the three notorious mafia families have risen and that could be detrimental to the Las Vegas Valley. I plan to steer this police force in the path of knocking these families down for good, for the sake of the people and our families. Starting today, the hunt against these mafia groups begins."

*I'm taking notes as the meeting goes down.*

Tom gives a debrief on how they plan to take down the families.

1 - gather intel

2 - implant insiders

3 - kill them from the inside.

Tom: "Also, I've received notice that the National Guard has gained permission to deploy in Las Vegas, also the Nevadan District of the FBI is becoming active."

*I look around. This shit's been going out so f**king long that it's not even funny. Never was to begin with.*

Tom: "Now, we have gotten a lead that the Wilson family has set up shop in the Mirage Hotel and Casino, I'll assign some of you to go undercover to try to gather information."

*With my history of being a security guard in multiple places in Las Vegas, I could pose off as a security guard for the hotel and casino, I just can't carry a firearm with my terrible aim.*

Tom: "You all are dismissed."

*I get up and I return to my post.*

After a bit, his pager would go off, signaling that he was being requested to Tom's office

*I head straight for Tom's Office.*

When he reached there, there would be six other officers in the room, two humans, an orge, a goblin, an elf, and a dwarf.

Tom: "Good, you are all here. I'm assigning you seven to the undercover mission."

*I look at the dwarf and I immediately think about Deep Rock Galactic, but I keep it to myself.*

first of all, its the 90s, that doesn't exist, second of all, f**k you.

Tom: "I'll send you seven to get custom tailored suits and uniforms." He'd take out a small stack of business cards, he'd hand one to each of them. The business card was that of a suit tailoring business. "Get your suits by Friday (two days from now)."

*I just need an official security uniform from the Mirage Hotel and Casino and I'll be set.*

it'd be better to dress up as a rich guy in a suit, not a security officer, trust, also how did Jeremy get in with bad aim?))

(First off, Jeremy is certified from the Knox County Security Corps, so he can find any security guard job with ease. Secondly, he's faster than most and his CQC skills with nightsticks only is a nightmare to be against in a large crowd. Black Fridays back there were absolutely brutal.)

yes, but officer training has a firearm course

(There was no Security Personnel route, so I went for law enforcement. Besides, not all cops have to learn how to operate firearms, some work desk jobs only.)

But he doesn't work a desk job, now does he?

(Still, Version one is Civilian lifestyle, Version 2 is an unknown because he's yet to be discovered, and Version three is not only busy, but he's unable to run, which is a crucial part of law enforcement.)

can you make an exception))

Tom: "Alright, here is the debriefing, you all should read this one good." He'd hand one of the guys a folder, he'd start to pass it around

(nope, because then it'd be Version three, which means no fast moving.)

*I read the folder.*

All that is known that some of the dealers at the poker and blackjack tables might be Wilson mafia members, also, cash might be transported out of the casino in metal boxes on carts by Wilson members

*I keep these tidbits of information stored away in the back of my mind.*

Tom: "Now go get your suits, put it on my tab."

*I get ready to go to the tailor.*

at the tailor shop, two elfs would be operating the shop.

elf one: "Come in, come in."

*I enter and I present a note saying that I need to look the part for an undercover sting operation At the Mirage Hotel and Casino.*

Elf 1: "We already got word that you guys needed suits, we'll take your measurements."

*I nod.*

. . .

Elf Two: "We should have your clothes ready by tomorrow."

*I nod, then I use sign language to say thanks.*

. . . Thurday.

The uniform would be sent to him by mail

*I review the uniform for a while before I try it on.*

looked official

*I looked over it more clearly to get a full description of what I'm going to be wearing.*

Mirage Security officer uniform, included is a hat and badge

*I smile, knowing that this is a Golden opportunity to infiltrating the place.*

wait, he gonna go AWOL?!?!

(no. He knows how to be a security guard, so he can silently take gangsters out and how to delete camera footage.)

A little note, he won't actually have security clearance, also he doesn't have permission to use lethal force unless told otherwise

(He knows how new guards are, it takes a while to get the cards needed.)

back at the station.

1992 LTD unmarked sedans were ready in the parking lot

*I hope backseat, with my baton in a holster.*

At the Mirage.

The undercover officers would enter the casino

*I follow with them, looking like I do for any security guard job.*

Now, time to eavesdrop, you're here to gather intelligence

*I go around and listen on conversations, acting as if I'm ensuring there's no hiest going through.*

heist*

Nothing seems out of the ordinary

*I keep patrolling around for anything out-of-the-ordinary.*

you overhear a conversation between two goblins.

Goblin 1: "-e've earned over 50,000 dollars on table seven."

Goblin 2: "Farelt did do a good job on riggin that table."

Goblin 1: "By the end of the day, we might earn at least 350,000 in chips."

*I joy that info down in my mind, later, it'll be jotted in my notepad.*

A bit of time later, he can see a group of casino employees transporting silver crates out of the casino

*I keep my distance as I watch the transport.*

They head outside and put the silver crates in a bank box van

*I jot it in my mind. Rigged tables and silver crates linger. I keep 'patrolling' for anything suspicious.*

A few more suspicious conversations, but nothing

*I keep patrolling.*

He gets a call on his radio from the chief

*I move to someplace private before I take the call.*

the bathroom

*I take the call.*

Tom: [R] "All UC units, report back to station."

*I begin moving to leave, knowing that I look as if I've clocked out.*

The others are waiting in the Crown vics

*I get in the backseat.*

they start driving back to the station

*I transfer what I learned from my mind to my notepad.*

mhm

*I look around. I've discovered that a table is rigged, and shipments of valuables are in silver crates.*

yeah no shit tables are rigged

*I just keep it recorded just in case. I just look at the team to see who I'm working with on this.*

They all seems serious and good at their job.

A group of Cadillacs would be following them

*I keep low, they're probably following us. I even try to inform my team about the Cadillacs behind us.*

Just then, one of Cadillacs would begin shooting at the officers.

*I get down to avoid being shot.*

The officers shoot back

*I can't operate a firearm, so I'm forced to stay down.*

lol

*I can't do anything as I must keep down. I'm just hoping the driver doesn't get killed.*

Driver: [R] "Dispatch, we got a shootout, requesting back up."

*I just keep down, hoping we're not stopped from fleeing.*

The shootout would continue

*I'm still down.*

backup arrives, and a bit later, the shootout stops

*I get up and I look at my allies.*

They all seemed pretty fine, however the goblin would have a gunshot wound on his lower left arm

*I try to extract the bullet out of the Goblin's arm so I can patch him up.*

successful

*I use an alcohol pad on the wound before I apply the gauze.*

they'd reach the station

*I check what's written down on my notepad before we got shot at.*

The officers would get out of the car

*I follow suit.*

Tom would be waiting for them.

Tom: "I heard you guys got into a chase coming back."

Human: "Yeah, but we all survived."

Tom: "How did it go?

Elf: "Good, we got some info."

*I pull my note pad out and I show the info I got, Table seven is a rigged table, and high valuable items are most likely kept in silver crates. Little details, but any is better than empty.*

after Tom collected the info from everybody, he'd put it all in a folder.

Tom: "I'll have this processed."

*I look around, I'm confused on what I need to do next.*

just go back to the breakroom

*I head to the break room.*

food

(dik)

*I'm not hungry right now, so I just pace back and forth.*

Your shift is over

*I get ready to head to my actual security guard job at a bank.*

oooo

*I do change into the uniform for the bank's security guard occupation before I begin driving there.*

you don't get shot on the way there

*I park and I enter the bank for my shift.*
