[Geronimo Allegri]

Geronimo "Ghoulie" Allegri, young Don of the Famiglia Allegri, hails from a long line of Florentine Wine Men who didn't exactly turn to crime after a pond-hop to Prohibition America. Nevertheless, the Allegris are a very old, very proud family; G is no exception. In fact, if it weren't for his fierce pride and loyalty alone, he likely would not have so readily shouldered the affairs he inherited, following his Papa's death. It never was and never will be any secret that his opinion of what he does, what he was reared to do, is conflicted. Unfortunately, that being said, he realizes that it's a little too late for him to renounce his lordship in the world of organized crime.

And a "lordship" it certainly is. If ever there were a person to avoid rubbing the wrong way, consider The Ghoul--he isn't called that because it's cute. He began his "career" as a contracted killer, cultivating and nurturing ties between allies both powerful and meek, individuals and corporations alike. Right from the get go--at the tender age of 22--G was quick to establish himself as an in-discriminant and ruthless assassin. Give him a name and he'll write the epitaph.

Of course, dispatch wasn't the only obligation Signore Gerardo Allegri left his eldest Son. G also inherited a number of businesses, including but not limited to: Bonaventura's, a restaurant--the oldest and last-remaining branch of the old Prohibition-Era speakeasy chain, and hub of family activity in the state of New York; Tuscano Deviante (Tuscan Deviant), the Allegri's Wine Label, Estate and Vineyard located outside of Florence, Italy in the Tuscan environs; Body Language, a tattoo parlor (in partnership with Spencer Dunn, the artist); Rocker's Rollas, an auto-custom and showroom chain that, while it is situated primarily on the East Coast, is making a reach for the West; and a slew of other chains (largely USA locations), such as the Paradiso Hotel and Silk Sunrise Spa.

Famiglia Allegri and all associations aside, Ghoulie is, first and foremost, an overzealous (and perhaps endearing) Father. When he isn't "hunting," managing or meeting, he's more than content to spend the day with his beloved Daughter Bambi--or Bambina--going every length it takes to keep her perfectly pleased and glowing. The words "spoiler" and "enabler" don't even begin to cover it.

You'd probably never recognize Geronimo for what he really was when it comes to everyday living, although he does tend to possess an authoritative and intimidating air no matter what he's up to. He's affable enough for someone inhabiting New York and Jersey more often than not--pleasant if he's not tread on (you'll have to find out what grinds his gears on your own), can be perfectly hospitable and genial to strangers (if they don't qualify as "idiotas," or are otherwise distasteful in his opinion), loves a good laugh (and stirring one up), is shamelessly straightforward and blatant, has a particularly persistent potty mouth (and not to mention his own vocabulary), etc. G is actually quite the character and, minus an alarming sense of self-control and idiosyncrasy (thank the star-sign Scorpio), falls victim to his quirks, same as anyone and everyone else.

Amici (Companions): Ghoulie is bound to have a good handful of these. He's usually quite friendly, almost to the point of deception--especially to those rare few who are unaware of his position in the "underworld." On a lighter note, G is as in-discriminant when it comes to companions as he is a killer--he likes to refer to this group of people as his "string of pearls," owing to the fact that no true pearl is exactly the same as another, but all are special in their own way. He is both physically and emotionally affectionate, loves to spoil, guards like a dog, and enjoys the hell out of "hangin' out" and "shootin' the shit."

Rivali (Rivals): When G has an enemy, he has one big-time. He isn't the kind of person who'll tolerate back-and-forth pettiness; these kinds of problems and problem-stirrers tend to get snubbed quickly, one way or another. It's more likely that he'll have an entire family or group against him--and seriously so--as opposed to scattered individuals.

Amanti (Lovers): Unfortunately, the fairly recent death of Angela Allegri seems to have lulled Geronimo into a sense of asexuality. He still frequently sports his wedding band and, sometimes, when he's especially down or out of it, he speaks of her as if she's still there. For the sake of his own sanity, however, and the idea of his Daughter's being well-rounded, he's been carefully considering the world of dating again. Give the poor Widower some time--he isn't likely to ever lose complete faith in love.

... He's Italian. Purrr, that's amore!

Et Cetera: G's going to need contractors, business associates, employees, family members, companions, rivals, victims, a few flings, perhaps a final significant other, et cetera. Don't be afraid to wing it. BRING IT.

P.S. For the record, he frequents California on both "business" and vacation-related trips--Cambria Bay is on the map, and happens to be more of a leisure spot. Additionally, on occasion, he flits here to lay low.

I can't really see a huge plot for Nicklein and Ghoulie, Nick is an overall nice guy that's struggling coming to terms with his past and dealing with his emotions. He's been a functioning alcoholic for a long time and smokes a bit of marijuana every now and then. When provoked he's known to get very aggressive, he can take a punch that's for sure and he's not half bad at handing them out either. Sooo plottage for them.... They could meet in the bar in town maybe?, I think Ghoulie would enjoy his goofiness and all around love of making people happy. They'll essentially be Acquaintances, someone to chat to in the bar when they run into each other.

Other ideas... (Character I could make to plot with him):

- I can make a nanny/babysitter for his daughter, with him being a mob boss she'd probably have to be a bad ass gun-carrying ass kicking nanny/babysitter but that'll just make her that much more interesting. Maybe she's a girl he helped get off the street because he saw promise in her, someone he helped out in exchange for loyalty to Familia Allegri, clean clothes and shelter in exchange for helping him with business.

or

- With Cambria Bay being so small I doubt there be a mob running its business from here, it is more of a vacation destination. I could make it the vacation destination for one of the rival mobs, start a bit of turf drama.

Ciao! c:

Nicklein 'n Ghoulie: Bar buddies, hm? I like it! G will definitely appreciate Nick's humor and all, especially since he really only goes to have a drink when he's failing at stress relief, haha. He's a wine man, but he doesn't indulge in alcohol all that much because he's terrified of losing that infamous self-control. Anywho! This idea is ace, I'm game for bar-buddy threads.

Mary Poppins Revamped: We've already discussed this in the c-box, but I have to make it official and say this plot is absolutely fabulooouuusss. Ahem. G loves taking care of people--he's like a Big Mama, 'cept he's a dude hurrr; so he'd totally set a babe up. Additionally, she'd have to be like family (even more-so than other people working under him) for him to trust her with his Bambi.

[Nicklein Torino]

Mary poppins revamped? Lmao, I'm singing with my uzi? hahaha. But yes I too was thinking it would've taken some time for him to trust her. Maybe she was a gun runner/assassin for him for years before getting the job of looking after/out for Bambi. Which raises another question, how old is Bambi?

[Geronimo Allegri]

Haa! A spoonful of bullets. . . Fuuu lol, morbid. Anyway, I do like the sound of their background. c: Bambi is five.
