PROPOSAL BY: Salvatore9 Resident

GROUP NAME: Ricci Consultation

TYPE: Business and social solutions

SLURL: Teleport

BACKSTORY: Marcello Ricci was born in Trapani Sicily In July 1961 to Don Merlino and Angela Ricci. They moved to New York in 1975. Merlino was a well established businessman running a construction company. Merlino offered his services in the neighborhood to those in need. It was all a front, masking several nameless individuals who would walk in and out of Merlinos office on a daily basis. His father had achieved considerable success but in the end everything comes at a price. There was always one large deal after another. Eventually a deal went bad and turned out to be a federal sting operation. The ones who didn't get shot were arrested and quickly sentenced. Sending the families into a state of chaos. Merlino was Willows god father and upon her fathers passing his will stated that she would become his ward. Merlino honored that request taking her in. The girl was a problem growing up. Childhood wasn't easy a black girl adopted into an Italian family. They gave her a roof over her head, thick skin, and command over the Italian language. When Merlino died Marcello was put in charge of managing her affairs. As his ward Willow knew it was his job to control and protect her. Now that she is old enough to take care of herself she never bothered to leave his side. She lives now as Marcellos right hand. She spends her days feeling indebted to certain members of the Ricci family. She watches everything and doesn't give the benefit of the doubt to anyone. In mid 2012 Marcello Ricci and Willow came to Dead End in search of business opportunities. Business in their hometown had attracted too much attention of a negative kind. Eager to broaden their horizons they knew Dead End was the obvious choice because this is where people came to get invisible. There seemed to be many opportunities in the city but they were looking for something that they could give back to the denizens of Dead End. There was already a company they found that helped but it still wasn't what they envisioned. They wanted to help in a more hands on way. A way that would show real results, actual physical results. Not just something that would look good on paper... Mr. Ricci had been approached many times by the people of Dead End for his assistance in matters of various kinds. Mr. Ricci being the kind, very wealthy person he would do whatever he could to be of assistance. Between the two of them Ricci consultation was born. It is a business that allows them to act in an advisory capacity on professional and personal matters; the goal is to become the biggest situational consulting engineers in the city.

UNIQUE: On the books Ricci consultation is an independent professional consulting firm specializing in satisfaction. The company often uses vigilantism to help customers identify their most pressing issues and compelling opportunities. For a small fee or favor they take action using contacts with gangs, drug dealers, dirty cops, and even extortionist to help solve the problem. Since every situation is different solving the rp issue will create many story lines and create rp jobs. The company would start working with other DE businesses to start increasing connectivity, interchange ideas, services, and talents. If the rp is successful it will precipitate further interdependence of economic and criminal activities.

EXP:I've been role playing for about 3 years in various genres of rp half of it was probably right here in DE on various alts. Different roles from working in the DEPD to a street criminal. On other rp sims I've held leadership roles and admin positions. I see myself as a person who can get along with about anyone which builds up patients in which you need when you run something like a business.

IDEAS:We would like to work with other gangs in the city as well as other organizations all the way down to the denizens. I feel it could be the start of many story lines intertwined amongst the gangs putting them at odds with each other. Ricci consultations would be like a revenge business. A way for the citizens to get even without the risk of getting hurt or in trouble themselves.

OTHER:No further Ideas at this time other then I place my good faith and confidence in the people of DE to give me a chance to make this work and be a community asset in the further development of good RP in Dead End. My many thanks for the time and consideration of this proposal and to my business partner Willow Namir who has been more then a great help .
