    Default To Live and Die in Gate City {M}

    Rated M for violence, swearing, alcohol and possible drug use, possible racism, sexual themes and everything else that could happen under this rating.


    Rules
    1. Regular RPA rules apply
    2. No godmodding, powerplaying etc.
    3. Be respectful to everyone in the OOC.
    4. Try to keep anything in the RP up to the year it is set in.
    5. Most importantly, have fun!


    Setting: Gate City, Georgia (based off Atlanta, Georgia), 1st February 1970

    Plot: The Gate City Mafia has been in power of the criminal underworld in this part of Georgia for as long as anyone can remember. Under them corruption ran rampant, major crimes done by the Family were ignored, while some smaller criminal groups, ones who didn’t pay tribute, often found themselves inexplicably taken out by the police. Now this is about the change. For the last 5 years, their power has waned, and now other organized crime groups are looking to rise up, to get a piece of the pie that is Gate City. What are the motives for each group? Revenge? Lust for power? Wanting to be out from under the thumb of an old, dying way of life? Only they know.

    History:

    Born to a family of share-croppers in Hazelhurst, Georgia, John was the second youngest in the family. He graduated top of his class in '59, after which he and three of his brothers signed up for the Army with his father's begrudging acceptance.

    When the United States deployed troops to Vietnam in 1965, the three Rayne brothers were sent in as Airborne Rangers. The middle brother died in the first week of engagements. Both of the remaining two were selected for the Studies and Observations Group, a special operations group that consisted of operatives from the various branches Special Forces as well as from the Central Intelligence Agency. They were deployed primarily in Laos, where they spent the rest of their service from '66-'68, when they were due to discharge and return to their lives as civilians. The week before they were to return, the older Rayne brother died, and John returned alone.

    Upon his return, John found that his family had moved to Gate City, where his father had started another church and one of his brothers had opened an auto-shop. Taking a job at the shop with his brother, he quickly learned that yet more had changed; the city being owned by the mafia, many businesses including his brother's auto-shop were being targeted for extortion, though the rising cost would soon be more than they could afford.

    Notable Family Members:

    Michael - John's Father, he served in World War II and was one of the first members of the OSS. After the war, he returned home and became a Preacher.

    Suki- John's mother, a stay-at-home mom who has become more and more active in the church, as well as working as a cook at Luke's Diner.

    Gabriel - The oldest brother (he's 40), Gabriel has recently earned enough money to start up his own auto-shop, where John and their father work as well.

    Luke - Second oldest brother, inherited a diner from a close family friend which he renamed Luke's Diner.

    Zachariah - Twin of Ezekiel Rayne (and 3rd oldest by mere minutes), they own a Bar and Grill called 'Men of the Cloth' as part of a joke. They took out a loan from the bank to buy it.

    Ezekiel Rayne- Zach's twin (4th oldest by mere minutes), Zeke is the other owner of 'The Men of the Cloth'

    Theresa- The oldest sister of the Rayne siblings (though she's the 5th youngest), she works as a waitress at Luke's Diner and is engaged to a colored man named Dwayne Matheson.

    Tara- Second oldest sister (6th youngest of the siblings), she's only a year older than John and works as a waitress at The Men of the Cloth

    Angel- The youngest of all the siblings, she works as a waitress at Luke's Diner with Theresa and Luke. She's also caught the eye of Danny DeMarco, an enforcer in the mafia, though she's refused his advances more than once.

    Matthew- Deceased brother (Died the first week in Vietnam)

    Mark- Deceased Brother (Died the last week in Vietnam)

    Accepted. Although we aren't in Atlanta, we're in Gate City Unless his parents aren't in the same city as him so in that case it doesn't matter :P Also you're missing vehicle and song.

    EDIT: Thanks Dnafein, I'll look into those, certainly.

    Give me a moment to research suppressor capabilities, and timeframes because really that's the only thing iffy right now.

    Also Rayne's rifle image is totally a SA Loaded M1A with a modern suppressor, it's cool though as a heads up Polymer wasn't really in heavy use until the mid 70's for rifles and the 80's for handguns (thanks GLOCK)

    Update:

    You're good, just remember they might not be as effective as modern improved systems and they really only reduce sound to hearing safe levels (sometimes not even that), so people will still hear the gun go off, just not as much from farther away.

    And let more correct myself again, becasue that M1A is actually an 18" model as compared to a 20" or 24" model, still a totally viable choice just keep in mind the time frame, and remember that the M14 is really all you have the M25 was a later development, so it was probably a mod if you're not keeping the selective fire capability, which is quite doable and better for the system because it sucked at full auto.

    So everything looks good (aside from the picture Rayne is using being of the more modern, polymer version of the rifle) weapons wise? I mean it's me and Rayne, we're not exactly the crazy kind when it comes to weapons. I mean we are crazy, but a different kind of crazy.
