burning caracole that blacked the lungs, hooves pounding on freshly graveled roads. a darkened world controlled by dirty money and blood soaked trench coats, there wasn't a soul alive that could escape it. the world was consumed by economic turmoil, traumatized soldiers returning home.
some key nots for myself;
- this thread will be based in Birmingham England a year after the first world war
- this plot will have two sides; the peaky blinders & the cops
- blood and death are centered in this thread
- debating on wether I want to include a shape shifting element to this plot or just keep it the way it is. ill see later on as I'm making the thread
- please give me some insit if you see this thread; I just came ups with this plot like 10 minutes ago because I wanted to role play something with death, gangs and depressing themes. so if you have any ideas on how to make this plot seem better let me know because I'm still working this out hella LMAO
-
roughly the plot will be centered between two sides; the peaky blinders and the judicial system. the peaky blinders are known to accepting new members to their powerful upbringing; only if they see them fit to join (more so if they will help them be prosperous) even though the peaky blinders have majority of the police force within their pockets, outside forces have been brought into the town of small heath. a select number of special forces have been sent to the community of small heath in order to learn about the gangs illegal activities, being ordered to some how infiltrate their ranks and become one of them for the sake of bringing this criminal empire down. at this point in the role play, the Peaky Blinders have made a very successful name for themselves; shipping manufactured car parts across the north americas and Europe, while also illegal exporting malt liquor across the shores. since they have become so successful, there several people wishing to do great harm to the company and take them out in order to have their time in the spot light. besides the gang having to deal with undercover cops within their ranks; they are also having to deal with another criminal enterprise that is trying to twist the peaky blinders arm.
MAIN PLOT POINTS;
- thread will be based around a powerful gang and the police; although the gang has a lot of the police in their pockets, there are a select few that aren't and swear that they will bring the gang down upon their knees.
- plot will center around the gangs crimes; "Returning soldiers, newly minted revolutions and criminal gangs are fighting for survival in a nation rocked by economic upheaval."
- within the gang their will be cops pretending to be members of the gang; wether the cops begin to have a change of heart or not is decided by the people that decide to play a cop like character (they more then likely will work in the bars that they own or be low level members of the gang..)
- the gang is pretty well off, they have their hands tied in legitimate business at this point, but I want rivals to come and try and mess that up for them; steal, kill, blackmail or whatever! the rivals will give this gang a run for their money at some point in the thread
- there will be guests from Russia coming within the plot; they want to do business with the gang (related to either alcohol, cars or something else within those lines, I will come up later) and honesty the deal they make isn't to bad.. but the gang doesn't fully trust them.
- at some point the undercover cops will spill the beans on what they know which in turn will cause the police to come and arrest a few of the gang members
- how they get can be be plotted out!!!
- Italians are not their friends; the jews they are natural with & are very much rivals with a gang called the Birmingham Boys
- Birmingham Boys will become an issue early on in the plot
- death will be centered in the plot, a lot of drama, blood, gore and more!!
- this plot is still a work in progress so please bare with me atm
write about the gang, the enemies,
the Peaky Blinders hierarchy;
leader, patriarch (1/1): the Peaky Blinders listen to one man and one man only and its whoever holds the position as leader. the patriarch of the gang is probably the most respected and feared out of anyone within the system, their word is obeyed and their decisions are final. anything related to Peaky Blinder business is brought to their attention, nothing starts and nothing finishes without the leaders approval.
ARTYOM WINTERS
matriarch (1/1): the matriarch is the closest person to the patriarch, she was the one that controlled the Peaky Blinders when the men were away at war. while the patriarch is a solo leadership role, the matriarch holds a great influence upon the leader & holds a great deal of respect within the ranks. she ruled over the gang when all the men went off to war, so given that she is for sure well respected and her word is taken into great consideration.
ANITA CORDOVA
right hand man, second in command (1/1): another person that the patriarch considers a trusted ally, they have a great say towards the patriarch & their words are taken into great consideration. they hold a great amount of respect within the ranks, if the patriarch is in no deal to lead the gang they will take control of the gang until further notice. the person that holds this rank is related to the patriarch; commonly a sibling.
ELIJAH WINTERS
members of the peaky blinders (6/unlimited): majority of those that are in the peaky blinders are simply members, how ever some members have specific roles. accountants, secretaries, fighters, herby book keeping and so on. they handle the dirty work that is needed to be down but they are the brute force of the gang (since they have so many of them.)
MINERVA WINTERS
KEATON JONES
SILAS GIBBS
LEROY LYLE
LUCAS HART
JULIETTE BEAUCHAMP (not yet a member, but will become one)
associates (1/10): not official members of the gang, but they help out with the gangs illegal enterprises. majority of those that are considered associates hold other jobs; bartenders, stable hands, crooked cops, mechanics, whores or anything that the gang could consider as a advantage. they don't have any standing within the gang, only called upon when they are needed. while they aren't members and don't have any say within what happens and are simply used and disposed off; the gang protects them. if they are having issues with the law or other gangs trying to cause trouble, the gang handles it. for their troubles the gang compensates it with money, the bigger the issue the more money they will receive.

my characters
GENERAL INFORMATION:
☆ ARTYOM KAMILIA WINTERS | "ARTY" |
— means either "unharmed, of pure health" or "dedicated to Artemis".
☆ homosexual | cisgender male | masculine
☆ forty four years | July 18th
☆ the patriarch
RELATIONSHIPS:
☆ EZRA x ZAHAVA, mother died of lung cancer over eight years ago and his father left his family when he was ten years old.
— has four siblings, Elijah and three sisters. artyom is the oldest out of all of his siblings, Elijah working along side him within the peaky blinders. adoptable characters, willing to plot
☆ two children, youngest child died at the age of two from sickness. andromeda was her name, would have been ten years old at this time. one surviving child, minerva winters who currently works along within the Peaky Blinders (not thrilled about it but still proud)
☆ single [widower] | short, loyal, family centered | disrespect towards himself, family or way of life,
☆ none, not really looking. [can plot] | married to a man named daxton, killed by officers when taken into police custody. beaten to a bloody pulp, recent death [ten months ago] married for over a decade.
☆ the mother of his two children, vienna, had been a good friend of arty’s. she knew how desperately he and daxton wanted children so she offered herself as their surrogate. everything was fine with their oldest, minerva but when vienna gave birth to andromeda that’s when things got tricky. for whatever reason, she wanted to keep andromeda to herself, refusing to give up the child (since they had no binding contract, she could talk to child) it ended bitterly, artyom made sure of it and he ended up walking away with his baby girl in hand.
☆ very close with his younger brother, Elijah and close members within the Peaky Blinders. has an understandable amount of resentment and hate towards the police, even though they are on their pay roll. anyone that's willing to do harm to his family and business is an enemy to Artyom.
☆ hard to make friends with arytom, even harder for romantic relationships. a good friend and lover once you earn his trust.
IMPORTANT FACTS:
• vegetarian of all things.. granted he will eat chicken every so often but generally speaking he won't eat it. not cause he doesn't want to eat meat, it's because it makes him sick.
• desperately misses his husband, cries very often. doesn’t let others see him in that kind of state, not even his daughter.
• smells like lavender and the faint aroma of gun powder
• once his husband was brutally killed, arty changed. he used to laugh a lot, his demeanor changed into a less pleasant one.
• cuts out people’s hearts.
• often visits the grave of his child, brings bundles of lavender and daisies to her grave sight every week or so.
• has a few charities started; one in the name of his daughter and the other in the name of his late husband. the Andromeda foundation is centered around foster children and the daxton foundation is centered around veterans and the homeless.
• owns four Czech wolfhounds; Heathcliff, shiloh, Athena and blossom. majority of the time they are by his side or they are roaming around arty's estate
• lives on a massive estate, majority of family business is debated within the comforts of his four walls; other business is done at their "hidey hole" in small heath
• spoils his nephew, William to no end. (this might annoy his brother, but he doesn't give a damn sometimes) spoils his daughter as well, can't seem to help it.
• still on the hunt for the people that killed his husband, wants to inflict the pain upon them like how they inflict pain upon him
APPEARANCE:
☆ SIX FOOT' SEVEN INCHES [245 LBS] | IVORY BLUE | BRUNETTE | [CILLIAN MURPHY]
— Brief description here; scars, body modifications, detailed appearance.
— Any misc. info here.
PERSONALITY:
☆ calm, respectable, gentleman, determined, loyal, family-centered, protective, intelligence
☆ observant, future-oriented, analytical, quick-forward thinking
☆ ruthless, dangerous, cutthroat, private, shallow, selfish (to an extent), abusive, heart broken, cold
— look at him the wrong way and you’ll end up with a bullet between your eyes. artyom is a force to be wrecked with, a ruthless beast that will slaughter a field of defenseless sheep. those that are brave enough to threaten the scar licked beast or his family, will fall victim to artyom’s wickedness; cut out tongues & ripped off noses. dangerous the man truly is, but he has a very calm demeanor; compared to his four other siblings, he’s a pretty calm and observant man. artyom tends to be a very shrewd judge of character, seeing threw everything and being able to see ulterior motives and schemes. besides that, he’s also able to find people’s weaknesses and use them to his advantage. shallow it may seem, artyom sees the world just as shallow and doesn’t see there to be much of a line to cross. even if there was a line people shouldn’t cross, artyom doesn’t give a damn. he’s willing to do anything to get to the top, or do anything to get to his desired goals. while his actions are always questionable, no one can question his unbreakable loyalty. there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for the ones that he loves, he’ll go to hell and heaven in order to keep those he cares about safe from all harm. many who have wished to harm his family or even close companions don’t have tongues and don’t have a nose, considering that fact artyom is a very feared yet very respected man within his own community (or just anyone who’s heard of him). people tend to compare him to the hound of hades, a wrathful beast that wishes nothing but to rip out ones throat.
besides being a harsh, ruthless man that has the power to destroy an empire with a snap of his fingers.. artyom can be a very caring and loving individual; under the right circumstances. prideful and spiteful, the words loving don't fall from peoples lips when they first meet him; rightfully so many call him an asshole or worse. deep down within his troubled core, arytom is a man of his word, a man of great honor and is a down to earth sweet heart who would kill for those that he loves.
— fears, phobias, mental disorders here.
HISTORY:
☆ brutal and
— hobbies, habits, related topics
— arty is a very cold, very brutal man. he takes dishonesty and disloyalty to heart, which ends up with him seeking blood. a man that holds grudges to the bone, very hard for anyone to gain his trust. seeing how close artyom is with his family and dearest friends, one will consider his family as one of his biggest weaknesses.
PLOT IDEAS:
☆ at some point I want arty to find the people responsible for the death of his husband; like it will be a character development for him since he is currently in a revenge seeking rage and is so blind to his own pain that it's affecting his judgement.
