BELOW ARE ALL THE PLAYABLE CHARACTERS AND THEIR BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS:
The following are 100% mandatory for the event to go off successfully. Only choose these characters if you know 100% you can attend:
DON WANNABE is Chicago's Boss. Referred to as "The Gentleman", Don took over the family operations after the unfortunate demise of Don "Big Jim" Ravioli in 1920. He is a very even-tempered boss, who knows how to keep the peace and take care of his people. He is well-liked among his peers, which is very unusual in a Don.
MADAM MEME WANNABE is married to Don Wannabe and the owner of the classiest brothel in Chicago. With their combined head for business, the two have managed to amass a fortune. Tonight they host their annual New Year's Eve Party at their elite Four Deuces Speakeasy. MeMe is always the ultimate gracious hostess.
AL CAPONE is Don Wannabe's Chief Lieutenant. He came from New York and Don Wannabe hired him immediately as the bouncer for his new speakeasy. After the former Don's demise, he became second in command to the new Boss, Don wannabe. Within three months, he married Don Ravioli's widow, Carrie Crooner.
CARRIE CROONER-CAPONE is Don Big Jim Ravioli's widow. She married Al Capone within three months of her husband's death. She is now the headline jazz singer for the Four Deuces Speakeasy. They say Don Wannabe pays her extremely well.
CONGRESSMAN DARRIN TOOSTEAL lost his presidential bid when it became known he was a close associate of the slain Don Ravioli. His wife Mary, divorced him shortly afterward to marry Mayor Big Bill Bumpkin. Darrin maried Baroness Ravioli. We will let you draw your own conclusions there. Darrin is now in a political race against Big Bill Bumpkin to hold his Congressional seat.
BARONESS RAVIOLI-TOOSTEAL is the mother of the deceased Don, BIg Jim Ravioli. The Baroness still loves to wear tiaras and lord it over anyone she considers beneath her. She married the congressman shortly after his divorce. Don Wannabe took good care of her up until her marriage.
VICKY RAVIOLI-BIGWIG is the ex-wife to the slain Don Ravioli. It suprised us all when she eloped with the New York Capo, Beau Bigwig, right after her ex husband's murder. She is attending with her freind, Texas Molly. She hopes to see her daugter Rebecca and represent her husband's New York interests in Chicago.
WEISS GUY is the Boss of the North Side Irish Mob. He was invited by Don Wannabe to discuss some issues that seem to be causing friction between the two. It might have something to do with hijacked trucks. It is rumored that he is a hot head who may be the one behind the currecnt friction between the North and East side. Could it have anything to do with Rebecca spurning his marriage proposal years ago?
REBECCA RAVIOLI-SQUEEZE is the daughter of Vicky Ravioli-Bigwig and the slain Don BIg Jim Ravioli. She was arrested for her father's murder. After her mother Vicky married the New York Capo, the murder charges against her were dropped. It seems that all evidence in the case disapeared. Wonder how that happened? She secretly married Sly Squeeze before the Don's untimely murder and they are still married.
INSPECTOR NEVILLE "THE NOSE" NUTELLA will be attending the function to keep the peace. He is known to be a close associate of Don Wannabe.
