ALL LORE/WHAT WE HAVE/STARTER KIT LOL (bare with me pls)
The bakery, it has a very welcoming aura to it. Flowers, big windows, a door with a bell that rings every time you open it, wooden walls and wooden floors. The bakery always had a sweet scent to it- though there’s an ominous door behind the counter, and for some odd reason, there are floor drains in the bakery. I mapped out the entire building, lmao. (SORRY ITS REALLY MESSY. I rushed this lmao)
Vixy owns a "bakery." But underneath its a d.i.p manufacturing mob family business, Vixy usually never gets involved. She stays at the front and sells her baked treats.
Faith (The don, character belongs to @s-kyloft) runs the whole operation.
Ray (the underboss, belongs to @s-kyloft) produces the d.i.p.
Brady hunts down the snitches and enemies of the Ceramic family, with the help of Blu and Irenne.
Blu is the family's mechanic and works under Brady.
Irenne is the family's nurse; she also works under Brady, but she highkey is an alcoholic and a huge party girl.
Sage, the child, doesn't actually know what they do; Sage fully believes they run an actual bakery.
Things are really tense at the bakery because the star, Jessica, got a tip that the bakery is involved with d.i.p. So in a nutshell, the Ceramic family dont like/mess with Mickey, Dandy and Jessica lol. (SORRY HOLY YAP SESSION MY BAD G)
The ceramics, since Dooms' take-down, are now the number 1 supplier of DIP.
Jessica would be constantly checking the bakery.
Criminals and other people who bought Dip through the Ceramics started to rat and began tipping off "Rabbit n Co." about the bakery.
The Dip has a strong smell of chemicals, so Vixy's go-to excuse is that "We leave out little baked treats for the woodland critters that come by, some of them probably went bad..."
The Ceramics use the bakery as a cover-up; it covers up the smell of Dip.
In the back room/area of the bakery, under the carpet, there's a hidden floor hatch to a secret basement. It leads to where the Ceramics store the Dip and the stuff they use to make the Dip.
Now that "Rabbit n Co." is searching and trying to find the Ceramics, they have to be super careful.
Rival mob families and Dip operations are getting taken down; the Ceramics are now at risk of being ratted on.
So the Ceramics are now trying to take down the rival mob families and Dip operations before "Rabbit n Co." can.
The Ceramics sold some Dip to the Cupbros (Which I headcanon is why Mugman had the Dip bottle and gave it to Bendy)
IF YOUR MOTM OC KNOWS ABOUT THE MOB: They are brought into Faith's office and sworn in. Faith would have them write their name on a card, then she would have them take a knife and cut their hand. Then the card and bloody knife will go into a small wooden chest. So if they snitch or betray the Ceramics, the Ceramics will frame them for a crime with the bloody knife that has their blood and fingerprints.
IF YOUR MOTM OC IS NOT ON GOOD TERMS WITH THE MOB:
Brady will hunt them down and put a bullet through their head.
Vixy (very rarely) will either put a bullet through their head or poison them with a baked treat that has d.i.p in it.
Faith (the literal boogeywoman) will only get involved if the situation is serious enough. She'll make sure they're dead, make sure they suffer. Either Faith will kill them or frame them for a crime they didn't commit. YOU DON'T WANT TO GET ON THE DONS BAD SIDE.
They have a bit of involvement with a few other crime organizations, but also from a distance.
Brady is a dumbass/might be the reason for the Ceramic's downfall:
Brady enjoys taunting the authorities, so he would leave something unimportant behind at the crime scene. (EVERYONE IN THE CERAMIC FAMILY THINKS BRADY IS BEING STUPID AND SHOULD STOP IT, but Brady is really stubborn/spiteful, and he continues his dumb act.)
