You were raised in East Forman, Mainland, New Dominer, living a life of poverty and despair. You have survived through petty crimes. One day, you see a sharply dressed male walking around the streets of East Forman. You think to yourself the wonders of cash he must be carring on him, easy pickings. You follow behind him, steathly as possible. You get inch closer to him, close enough you can see a small wad of cash in his pants pocket. You reach down, slowly being sure not to alarm him. You touch the cash, feeling the cool of the paper. The man turns around, grabs you by the collar of your shirt and slams you against a near by wall.

"Kid, you're gonna have to do better than that!" He says to you.

Your eyes widen, heart pounding and sweat races down your face.

"Relax, kid. I knew one of you would try me." He let's you go and continues, "My name is Joshua Bertini. I'm here to help you grow as a mobster. Well, you're not one, yet. You see, there's a whole world out there begging to harvest and you ... you're standing around East Forman looking for people to pick pocket"

A bit of embarrassment can be seen in your face.

"Listen, and listen carefully. You need to find yourself a family, or a gang. After that you need to gain Fear and Respect. Then you'll start gaining money. If you have the brains then you can start gaining power. Who knows maybe you'll create a family named after you."

Joshua hands you some cash and waves down a cab.

"Get in."

You get in the filthy, bug-ridden cab"

"Now, you can go ANYWHERE in the city you want to with the cash. Head to the right area, you'll find someone who'll recruit you in. Don't ask me where, I'm confident you'll find someone."

Joshua closes the door and walks away. The cab driver looks back at you and asks;

"So, where do you want to go?"
