eyo, it’s me. Noah. Back at it again with a character.
Àngel Cabrera || 44 || Vargas Empire Underboss
Born into a big rich family that had the world at their finger tips. He had to be the perfect child big with big expectations thrust upon him by his mom and dad and soon the community around him. Angel eventually had to take over his father's big (under the table criminal) business in Argentina once he got sick and passed away.
There was a coo in the business and they had the full intention of getting rid of Angel as soon as possible. So they framed him for money laundering in the company, he was forced to face the media, the press, and the law.
Was supposed to be sent away to prison but instead escaped custody and fled the country. With his whole life down the toilet he became depressed. He was young, dumb and at a loss with what to do with his life, he started drinking away what little money he had. Around his time travelling under the radar from bounty hunters he came across the Vargas Empire. Hugo Vargas to be exact
In a bar where over many drinks they became friends, sharing their woes and tribulations. When Hugo found out who Angel was he offered him a job, without anything left to lose, he accepted. Little did he know how deep into the crime syndicate he was getting himself into.
It had been a couple of years working for The Vargas Empire when Angel got into big trouble, having been toyed with and seduced by a rival member of an opposing organization, Angel unknowingly let valuable information fall into the wrong hands. The empire lost thousands upon thousands of dollars from his mistake.
Nearly killed for this mistake; he wasn't, since he was Hugo’s friend he was spared. Instead, given another chance. An important job to oversee and move their assets into Montreal. And to keep an eye on the two rivaling syndicates that were running rampant.
The Ivory Syndicate and Vittori Family weren’t to get in the way and should he fuck up his second chance, they’d have him killed. So with his life hanging by a thread he’s working the front lines in Montreal.
Aloof and high strung, this isn’t a man who you want to mess with.
Hi all! I’m hopping on the bandwagon. I’m J and this is one out of two of my dudes. Derek’s an angsty Ivory Syndicate babe.
You can read all about him here but I’ll put some basics under the cut. Oh and here’s my wanted connections list if anyone would to pre-plot or anything. I can be reached here or via Discord at jam#9388
drugs tw, drug addiction tw, overdose tw, relapse tw
He was born in Delaware to a drug-addicted mother, got passed to his grandparents when she overdosed cause she was ruled an unfit mother.
Ironically became a drug addict himself, overdosed as well, and then swore off drugs. But of course now he’s back on them. Moving is #stressful.
He’s in between jobs right now as he likes to call it. He hates working, so he’s putting off applying for anything for as long as he can.
He’s a man of few words, and has a hard time trusting people. And that’s on childhood trauma. But he’s very loyal to those he loves and will do anything for them.
It’s me, Mia, rolling back to FTW like a Chef Boyardee can. I’ve got a new bb!
Nina Ambrose. Twenty-three. Heiress to the Ambrose fortune. Social Media Manager for Ambrose Media and King Charitable Entities.
Looks like a cinnamon roll, is absolutely not a cinnamon roll.
Incredibly spoiled, Daddy’s little girl, used to getting everything she wants.
The Kings are her second family; she grew up alongside Emilia and idolized Milena.
Her father got her involved with the Ivory Syndicate when she turned eighteen. She does odd jobs for them to help gather information - seductions, snooping, you name it. Lies to her best friend about all of it.
Dad moved them to Canada shortly after the Ivories set up shop there. She’s been around for a little over a year, although...
She was devastated by Milena’s death and left town with Emilia, but Princess Em gave her the slip around month six. Came back to Montreal to refocus.
Fun-loving, but very serious where her family and the Syndicate are concerned. Determined to live up to her father’s expectations and blow everyone away. Everything is about being powerful and adored for her.
Full bio under the cut :) Shoot me a message if you want my Discord and we can PLOT!
The Ambrose family had always been lucky; lucky in business, lucky in love, lucky in...well, success of nearly every kind. Ambrose Media was built from the ground up, beginning as a boutique production company in the 1930s and changing with the times until it’s reached far beyond its competitors. By the 1990s, the Ambroses’ triumph was seen as nearly untouchable, which left the family and the company financially and mentally secure. There was no reason to believe that anything could possibly go wrong.
Fortunately for the company’s employees, nothing in their work lives did go wrong. However, in the summer of 1996, the president and CEO’s luck had run out. His beloved wife died giving birth to their long-awaited child, leaving him to raise his baby daughter alone. It was a tremendous feat for a man who had been raised mostly by nannies himself, but the moment he saw his daughter’s face, he knew that he would do everything in his power to provide a spectacular life for her. Nina grew up with a doting father, a man who ran his own company but still made it a priority to attend her dance recitals, gymnastics meets, and indulge in her excessive spending.
His constant attention was noticed by onlookers and appreciated by his daughter, but certainly did not help deflate her growing ego. Nina lived the life of a modern-day princess and took advantage of her family’s status in any way that she could. She was the natural Queen Bee of her school, the defacto leader of any friend group she formed or intruded upon, and with her father’s money lining her designer pockets, she could have whatever she wanted whenever she wanted.
The King family had been a part of her life since before she was born. Marco and her father had been friends in school before following in their own fathers’ footsteps, which included, of course, heavy involvement in the Kings’ most lucrative dealings. Marco, Milena, and Emilia were her second family, a family that Nina and her parents could have been akin to had events not transpired as they did. Emilia became Nina’s closest confidante and the only person she truly ever let her guard down around, and Milena was the strongest maternal figure that she could hope for. There was something about the Kings, however, that Nina could not quite put her finger on; something was lurking under the surface, something that was spoken through meaningful glances at the dinner table and behind closed home office doors. When her father caught her eavesdropping one night, however, he did not reprimand her; when Marco and the other people Nina had grown to consider members or her extended family had left, her father sat her down, asked what she had heard, and answered her questions truthfully. There wasn’t much that he could tell, but it was enough to confirm her suspicions. Admiring her tenacity and seeing his own fire reflected in his daughter, her father committed himself to taking Nina into the fold, despite the fact that he knew that his late wife would have objected.
When Nina graduated from high school, everything changed. Her best friend went off to college in Canada of all places, but Nina was not on the same track. She was given an intern position at Ambrose Media, which later became an assistant job and then a title of her own: Social Media Manager. Milena took her further under her wing and gave her similar duties in her charitable organizations. At the same time, her father was exposing her to more of the Ivory Syndicate’s dealings and pushing to get her foot in the door - Nina would be the perfect distraction, the perfect secret weapon to acquiring information because nobody would suspect her of being involved in any wrongdoing, much less a notorious crime organization. She’d go on a dinner date with a rival drug kingpin’s son, let an old businessman talk her ear off at a museum opening, stand around and look pretty at an important event. Nina thrived on the adventure and the danger, but most of all, she felt powerful. She craved the rush of adrenaline than shot through her when she asked just the right question or overheard the exact bit of information the Syndicate needed. She wanted to feel that way all the time...she wanted people to adore her, to worship at her feet...and she was on her way, under one condition: keep everything from Emilia.
It was simple when Nina was in New York and Emilia was in Montreal; lying to her friend was not something that she enjoyed doing, but Nina could already see the path in front of her and she could not give that up. She began to have slight doubts, however, when Milena asked her and her father to move up to Montreal. It made sense, of course, but it definitely made lying a lot more difficult. Still, she managed, and Nina had just gotten adjusted to life in Canada when the worst possible scenario occurred: Milena was killed.
The Ivory matriarch’s death sent the organization into a tailspin, but it hit those closest to her the hardest. Emilia completely shut down and Nina was uncharacteristically inconsolable - Emilia had lost her mother, and Nina had lost the only mother-figure she had even known. Her friend wanted to go away and Nina insisted on going with her, not only to keep an eye on her for the organization but because she, too, was hurting. The pair jumped from country to country, city to city, and while the travel and anonymity seemed to do Nina some good, she couldn’t see the same healing occurring in her friend. They spent a late night out in Colombia and when Nina woke up the next day, Emilia was gone.
She considered going after her. She considered scouring her friend’s favorite places high and low until she found her, but Nina knew that wasn’t the right choice. She took a few days and then returned to Montreal, convincing herself that she was ready to focus on the tasks at hand. It was more important now than ever before to make a name for herself in the Ivory Syndicate; she was determined to prove to her father and everyone else that Milena’s trust in her had not been in vain. And, more than anything, she desired her own crown.
Surprise it’s me, Cee, and I’ve returned with a new piece of human garbage for you all.
First I want to say that I am so incredibly excited to be back here and writing with you all again. It seems so crazy that FTW 1.0 closed over a YEAR ago. I’ve definitely missed this place and all of you, and I can’t wait to start plotting and world building with everyone. I am equally as jazzed to start up some new plots with new players. #newfriends2k20.
SO ANYWAY. Here we go. (tw adoption and everything else that goes in a bio for someone belonging in a crime/gang rp)
RODRIGO “RIGO” VARGAS
[FC: Ryan Guzman] Thirty-Four. Mexico City Colombia. Son of Santiago “el Rey Esmeralda” Vargas. Vargas Empire Consigliere. Cousin of Hugo Vargas. Adopted.
He’s lived a very easy life, not gonna lie. His adoptive father, Santiago Vargas, has more money than God so Rodrigo (Rod. Rigo. Whatever.) and his older brother Alejandro (full-blood, also adopted) had an excellent education, lots of pretty toys, access to basically anything they wanted. You could say that what he wanted most was to make a name for himself. The man has got sticky fingers, and is quick on the draw. Quiet. Sneaky. If the underboss is Hugo’s right hand, then Rigo is his left. Often left unchecked and in an easy position to strike. He’s never been afraid to get his hands dirty.
I don’t have his full bio posted yet, but I do have some WC’s [HERE] up for him already, so if you want to PLOT PRE-OPENING then PLEASE feel free to hit up my DM’s. I also have a discord, which is the easiest way to harass me (dm me for it).
Bon apple tea! I’m Izabella and I am hoping to write for my two kids Emilia and Julian. I’m so excited to get back in FTW cause its a properly bangin rp. Feel free to message me here or on discord (I can send you my user) to plot! (:
The Syndicate’s daughter, Emilia was born into one of the most infamous crime families New York had known. However, in a rare stroke of heart, Marco and Milena decided to keep their daughter out of the family trade. Put in place was the golden Ivory rule: never let Emilia know about the business. Let at least one King live their life without blood-stained hands...
Emilia was admitted into McGill University's biochemistry major and was able to live quietly in Montreal up until her senior year when Milena King arrived. Barely making it out of a car crash with her life, the Ivory Syndicate’s secret was getting harder and harder to contain- imploding in on itself with Milena’s execution-style murder.
In a short week, Emilia had lost her mother and learned that her entire life was a lie, only to be told that Montreal wasn’t safe for her anymore. Dazed and angry, that once sweet girl began to slip as she jumped from safehouse to safehouse. It didn’t take long for Emilia to lose herself completely in grief, packing her bags and disappearing into the middle of the night.
Emilia landed in Turkey with nothing but rage and her mother’s life insurance, doing all that she could to forget her old life. However six months into her stay, a broadcast appeared celebrating the one year anniversary of Milena’s death. Realizing that she couldn’t ever shed who she was, Emilia returns to Montreal tougher and ready to swim with the sharks.
TDLR: Nice woman is lied to and pushed to her limit. The same woman returns after a year with skin like steel, sharp teeth and a will to avenge her mother. What could go wrong!
Born as the second son, Julian continuously tried to prove himself and garner the respect of his father though that never worked. Instead, his older brother was the golden boy of the family. Though that kind of competition strained his relationship with Michael, Jules was still extremely close to his brother. It was only at his side that he felt like he belonged in the Pistris family... though it wasn’t enough.
Exhausted of trying to keep up with his father’s expectations, Julian realized that he would never be good enough.. and that absolutely ate away at him. His mental state declined, he turned to drugs and alcohol for a quick rush. Years of falling down the rabbit hole groomed a man with a perchance for violence and sadism.
When he finally came up for air from his binges, Julian created a mastermind plan to get back at his father: he would take away what he cared about most- Michael Pistris. Shaky hands pulled the trigger on his older brother, trying to convince himself that he was unavoidable collateral if Julian ever wanted to be someone important. As Michael laid dying in his hands, his final string of humanity, Julian became the sole empire to the Pistris fortune.
He fell in step with the Vittori rather easily, a mad dog always doing the dirty work that people never seemed to want. He was more than willing to leave loved ones for dead, to betray and to kill. During the war, it was Julian’s gun that killed the infamous Milena King.
The year since the Ivory bitch's death has tested Julian’s loyalty, and he’s beginning to wonder if the Vittori are strong enough to win this war. With Lorenzo lying in a coma, Julian is looking for other options in case the Vittori empire collapses in on itself... and how convenient that the Vargas have just settled in town.
TDLR: Daddy issues caused a boy to become a psychopath who killed his own brother for power. Now that same psychopath might do more psychopath things. Fun!

Victoria Rosalie Martin | 25 | Paralegal | Vittori | Associate
grew up in a modest household until the age of nine, when her father’s law firm started growing more and more successful.
at first, she resented her parents for uprooting their lives and them never seeming to have time for her and her sister Charlotte anymore, but she grew used to it and came around to the idea that she had to work for that attention.
her father promised her an internship if she made valedictorian, and she managed that plus a scholarship to McGill to study law. she now works as a paralegal for the firm.
she found out about the vittori’s hand in her father’s success when she was pulled into a meeting just a week before Milena King was killed, throwing her into the chaos of that world
agreed to comply with everything as long as Charlotte was both shielded and protected from everything
harder exterior and can be rather blunt, but is a soft babe to the people that she loves.
