General Plotline
"All who gain power are afraid to lose it." — Ian McDiarmid
Gangs and violence. Dark intrigue and Machiavellian politics. Blood and coins.
All that has come and passed, as it has always in the history of humanity. Kingdoms rose and fell, to be remolded into empires. But now, that is no more. In an era of faux prosperity and forced peace, there is only one organization on top, with the power and influence that could rival a empire at its prime. There is someone at the top of the pyramid, and they intend to stay that way.
For over fifteen years, the Mafia has reigned with an iron-fisted totalitarian rule over the city of Aureatus, a dystopian version of modern day New York City. They control most, if not all, of the major facets of their citizen's lives, and use force, coercion and even assassination to stifle rebellion. The leader, who's reputation is both widely feared yet somewhat enigmatic, keeps a cadre of five top operatives as his main playing cards, with other lower-ranking soldiers working for him as well. Keeping their real names hidden from the public, this mysterious group have formed a tight-knit bond built on teamwork and keeping the Mafia and their leader in power. However, the wealth in the city still flows, and the old festivities are allowed. Life is still considered "peaceful" if you don't land yourself on the Mafia's radar. Perhaps, there is something more than "fear" that keeps an all-out coup from occurring.
And yet...a rebellion has flourished in recent years. Small, but growing rapidly, like a flame in the brush. Coming into the open, a new group who call themselves Phoenix One - armed with sharp wits and sharper blades - have begun to ignite the flame of rebellion. They made their presence known with daring incursions, striking against the Mafia's facilities and taking up arms. One thing is for sure, this stubborn family will not be beaten down without a fight.
But little do either of these two organizations know that there are others out there who want a slice of the Mafia's power. At any moment, old enemies will rear their head. In this dark underground, power is never guaranteed, and those who do not fight for their cause risk losing it all.

Title: THE MAIN ARCANA
THE MAFIA
sun tzu
an enigma to deduce, nevertheless, sun tzu has earned
his name as a cunning, highly intelligent, and strategic
leader. his aura resembles that of a chess grandmaster, cold
and calculated. despite leading a totalitarian government,
this individual does not lead through fear and threat.
instead, he guides through example, striving to pose as a
role model to his underlings. a unique individual struggling
to break past their icy walls. a total sherlock holmes.
NAME NAME, CRYOKINESIS, RES
harpocrates
the former protogé of sun-tzu before they stepped out from
under their wing and became a full-fledged member. they get
their way by charm and charisma, and are generally regarded
as being the most approachable of the mafia's higher ups.
good friends with wolfsbane and sun-tzu
Choi San, feline morphology
archangel
the main advisor and coordinator of attacks
alongside harpocrates. they are the one you
go to with your concerns, unless the problem
has the potential to jeapordize mafia operations
in some way. despite coming off as icy and distant,
they have profound leadership and organizational skills.
ultimately answerable to to sun-tzu alone.
good friends with wolfsbane and sun-tzu
Nox, Enhanced Senses
wolfsbane
fourth in command. they may not have a very high ranking
in the mafia, but their skills and efficiency seem to
suggest more potential that is hidden under the
surface. formerly part of the rebellion but defected
after being stabbed in the back and left for dead when
a critical mission went awry. also an accomplished artist who
analyzes art as a way to get to know a people and culture.
good friends with harpocrates and direct rival of protesilaus.
looks up to sun-tzu as a mentor figure.
— Faolan Voronova, AVIAN MORPHOLOGY —
protesilaus
the unhinged fighter, and a loose cannon. their
destructive tactics have marked them as one of the mafia's
most brutal enforcers. however, under their brutal shell,
someone very different remains. a teen forced to grow
up too fast. despite their differences, it seems like
wolfsbane is the only one who seems to know
something about it, even if they do argue quite a bit.
— NAME NAME, FEAR INDUCEMENT, RES —
chimaera
relatively new to auresteas politics, they joined the mafia
at a young age, and have thus worked their way up the ranks.
they wholeheartedly believe that the mafia will bring the
people the peace and security they deserve. however, due to
their youth, not everything is as they perceive it to be.

NAME NAME, TELEKINESIS
PHOENIX ONE
juno
forged by conflict, this individual was a child when
her family was caught up in the whirlwind of fighting and
chaos that came before the mafia's reign. however, they
disagree with the mafia's totalitarian ideals, and as such, they
have launched into open rebellion. in contrast to their orderly
and highly disciplined persona, they treat the phoenix crew
as they would their family - that is with care and respect.
she acts a mother figure to the younger members of the
rebellion. a great leader and an even better mom.
NAME NAME, POWER

if we were to discuss matters of rank, fable would
be the second in command to juno, but to be honest, they're
fairly evenly matched.
