Hoo boy y'all in for a treat. Here is my new, big-ass project; A mostly-written story which I call "Streets With Teeth." It surrounds Belladonna, Lorenzo, Phage, Lothaire and Sovereign, and their involvement in an intricate web of crime, conspiracy, politics, espionage, murder, sex, and debauchery, taking place in the shady districts of the destitute and crime-ridden Bonanno-Marcello City.
This is a big project, I would love if people would want to pitch in, illustrate scenes, or suggest scene ideas. This story is told in "episodes," but there will be an underlying storyline, but still mostly be told in little scenes of whatever given shenanigans our protagonist will be getting himself into.
I am putting a ton of fun themes n' stuff in here, which also serves as some warnings;
Bonanno-Marcello City is an unholy mixture of New York City and New Orleans. The setting and history of New Orleans and its party lifestyle and gay subculture are integrated into the story, as well as themes of historical mafia involvement in both NYC and New Orleans, particularly the Bonanno and Marcello families, as indicated by the fictional city’s name.
Don't worry, this is my work, so there will be lots and lots of violence. Lots and lots of murder and a bit of body horror during interrogations.
Sex plays a large part in the story, but is less present in the main storyline, and are instead usually part of the short stories that take place in the setting. Most “interactions” are gay, between Sovereign and Lothaire or Lorenzo, but Belladonna does occasionally engage in some form of debauchery. Many scenes, nonsexual and sexual, take place in nightclubs, more traditional jazz/swing clubs, and fetish clubs. Elements of fetish culture are consistently integrated into the story, mostly surrounding Sovereign in all of his degeneracy.
This is my official, formally-written setting:
Belladonna Giancana and Lothaire Gendron are both powerful and influential gangsters in Bonanno-Marcello City, working in tandem for the social and economic control of a destitute and desperate district. Their gang, a militant and highly influential group, is known as “The Bone-Rattlers.” They rule through the illegal rings of racketeering, conspiracy, loan sharking, money laundering, drug trafficking, extortion, gambling, and murder.
The cold and calculating Belladonna is the kingpin, controlling the city from a luxurious loft, hiding in the shadows and pulling at the strings, although she doesn’t hesitate to get her hands dirty should the time arise. Her economic control consists of maintaining the poorer red light districts, nightclubs, bars, theatres, and other entertainment centers. She also holds power as a great influence on political affairs, a wealthy benefactor and campaign supporter to politicians she favors, and of course, the blackmailing of enemy politicians isn’t beneath her either. Her presence is anticipated by the city’s wealthy at parties and charities, all of which know her influence and play a part in her schemes. All in all, few dare to challenge her.
Lothaire refers to himself as the “second in command,” working on the streets and handles the “dirty work” while Belladonna handles the more social and political ventures. He emulates the more traditional mobster, cruising the streets with his small entourage of sergal triggermen and hired arms.
Dr. Phage Sarin, while known as an absolutely insane, dangerous and questionable medical doctor, is Belladonna’s personal tactician due to his unmatched intelligence. And personal interrogator due to his equally unmatched cruelty. He is the greatest deterrent to threats against the gang, as those who are interrogated by him are either never seen again, or return to their homes with their tongues cut out, castrated or crippled.
Lorenzo Thicket is a private investigator living in the richer tenements of Bonnano-Marcello City. He is one of the few that manages to evade Belladonna’s control, working underground and independently for some of the wealthier residents of the city, exposing politicians who succumb to the gang’s influence and collecting sensitive intel about the gang’s activities.
Finally, Sovereign is his own player in the web of organized crime. After fleeing the racially divided city of Vorare due to his own very illegal activities, he arrives in Bonnano-Marcello City with a refreshed hunger for power. He covertly climbs the hierarchical ladder, remaining unaffiliated and posing himself as no threat to Belladonna or Lothaire, sulking in the shadows and obtaining bits of incriminating evidence.
