The Goths are no strangers to money and power. The founding family of Cosa Simstra, the Goth name carries weight within the organization and throughout the greater Bridgeport area. But with a tragic death in the family and a sudden change in leadership, some within the organization see this as an opportunity to put an end to the Goth reign. With the lines increasingly blurring between friend and foe, can the Goth family remain on top?
~ MORE UNDER THE CUT ~
Don Mortimer Goth, the "Capo de Capi"
Mortimer Goth was hesitant to get involved in the family business. An inquisitive yet reserved young man growing up, few within the organization saw him capable of filling his father's shoes as Don of Cosa Simstra. But with the murder of the elder Goth and a failed assassination attempt on his own life, Mortimer had no choice but to take over the mantle. He's trying to be the strong leader the organization and his family need, but he still has a long way to go before he can earn their respect.
Bella Goth
The beautiful, Bella Goth has gained a reputation for being a master manipulator. Behind her charming smile and personality is a woman heavily involved in her husband's organization. So much so, some within Cosa Simstra question whether it is actually Mortimer or Bella making the big decisionsā¦ A devoted mother and wife, she will do whatever she needs to protect her family.
Alexander is a highly intelligent individual, but also quite gullible. As the presumed heir to the Goth Family and Cosa Simstra, he is eager to prove that he will be ready to take his father's place when the time comes. Unfortunately, that means he often puts himself in risky situations to impress others.
Michael Bachelor
Since being medically discharged from the military after a campaign gone wrong, Michael has relied heavily on alcohol to battle his personal demons. Known to struggle with understanding boundaries and staring a bit too long at the dancers at Porkieās, Bella is finding it increasingly difficult to care for her older brother and clean up his mistakes.
The Grand Dame of Cosa Simstra is a woman of tradition and conservative values. Daughter of Victor Goth, the first Don of Cosa Simstra, Mrs. Crumplebottom grew up in the thick of greed, violence, and corruption. So, do not let the shiny pearls and posh manners fool you. She can be as ruthless and unforgiving as they come...
Ladies in Waiting
While Cosa Simstra does not allow women to join the organization in an official capacity, Mrs. Crumplebottom has and continues to play a vital role in The Family's affairs. With their combined social and political influence, her "social club" has helped the organization stay relevant in the city. Don Goth is thankful for her loyalty and dedication, but Mrs. Crumplebottom wants more than praises. What is the Grand Dame plotting in that little, black bag of hers?
Raised from humble beginnings, Jiaho Cho only had a dollar and a dream when he opened his first club in the city. Fast forward decades later, Mr. Cho finds himself the king of SanMy's nightlife with an empire of high end clubs spread across the district.
With a booming clientele flushed with cash and a rumored partnership with the Simkuza, Mr. Cho's grip on the city's entertainment industry seems unshakable.
Elysium Nightclub
When designing Elysium, Mr. Cho wanted to push the limits of what a club could be. To blur the lines between fantasy and reality, and redefine the clubbing experience. So, Elysium is not just some mega dance club to go party and get wasted. (Well, you can do that too if you'd like!) It is an adult wonderland where sims can set themselves free and embrace their true desires.
(You can download the club here)
The Staff
Behind every powerful sim is a team doing most of the work. In Mr. Cho's case, it's his personal assistant, Kendra Stancil. And unfortunately for her, her backup is Elysium manager and Mr. Cho's former boy toy, Cisco. The two may be complete opposites and butt heads most of the time, but they manage to keep the club up and running...
When it comes to the dancers of Elysium, only the best of the best are accepted. (Or sims pretty enough to catch Mr. Cho's eye...) Tish Polanski, lead dancer and former mistress of the boss, works hard to make sure no guest leaves Elysium unsatisfied.
The Family is anxiously awaiting the upcoming nuptials of Donatello Lothario and Cassandra Goth. Don Goth and his wife are especially excited to see their only daughter, one half of their beating heart, blessed with a union filled with love and happiness like their own...
(music at bottom of the thread)
Having known each other since they were children, it seems the young couple were always meant to be. But is it truly destiny that has intertwined their fates? It is no secret Donatello's father has much to gain from his son's marriage to the Don's daughter. And the Don himself is in desperate need of allies as the cracks continue to deepen within the organization...
But whether it's fate or manipulation, Cassandra's heart sings true with her feelings for Donatello. The man she has loved since she was a child, she cannot wait until the day they cement their union at the altar...
But can the same be said about the young Casanova? No one ever imagined marriage would be in the cards for Donatello, especially Donatello himself... Is he truly ready to give up his bachelor ways for one sim?
The results of the Bridgeport mayoral election have drastically changed the criminal landscape of the city, giving the Simkuza virtually full control of the streets and city hall.
With the threat of being pushed out of Bridgeport becoming increasingly real, now more than ever, unity and solidarity is needed between the powerful families of Cosa Simstra. But can Don Goth and Don Alto set aside their differences and bring their two families together? Or will all the lies, greed, and animosity prove too much for the organization to overcome?

Hosting a plethora of family-owned businesses spanning over generations, LEA prides itself on its rich heritage and cultural roots.
