THE CONSORTIUM

BLOOD IN BLOOD OUT. THE CONSORTIUM  MEMBERSHIP IS FOR LIFE.

​

RESTRICTIONS.

• All supernatural and mortal characters may join "The Consortium"

• Mortal Hunters and Police may not.

• This is primarily a gang of Aggressors.

• This is not a -soft- option and is likely to involve hardcore themes that some may find triggering.

• There are no perks to Consortium roles as there are with Police Roles, However there is safety in numbers and the assurance that someone has your back, all Consortium  members are sworn to protect one another, unless one of the Kingpin's decree otherwise.

• TRIGGER WARNING: Sex, Crime, Violence, Torture and a combination of the them. Navigate away from this page now if you have such triggers. We will not be held responsible for you being triggered by ignoring this warning.

• If there is money to be made, and if its likely illegal, the Consortium will be behind it.

​

AFFILIATE

​

​

ROLE

• An Affiliate  may be any number of the consortium employees on the -legal- side of the business. Freelance porn actors or drivers or anything else, generally uninitiated and unaware of shady dealings.

​

HUSTLER

​

​

ROLE

• A Hustler is involved mainly in low level crimes. They are generally used for hacking or lock picking doors and petty theft. They can be utilized as drug dealers and as pimps. Generally a Hustler is not a combat role.

ROLE RECOMENDATIONS:

• A Hustler should focus on Larceny and Charisma and Stealth.

• The above abilities are recommended but not compulsory. Some Hustlers might decide to go with Hacking instead, others might go for electronics.

​

DOLL

​

ROLE

• A Doll is a sex worker for the Consortium whether they have been trafficked, kidnapped and programmed or joined the organization for the protection it affords is entirely down to the doll.

ROLE RECOMENDATIONS:

• A Doll should possess at least a mesh avatar of good looking quality 

• A Doll should have relatively few sexual limits 

• A Doll typically may be a street sex worker or they may find employment in one of the adult bars, or they  may be hired out to specific clientele who may request them sent to their homes. (on sim) 

• Some Dolls may be used as lures or honey traps on targets of the consortium.

• Some Dolls (Depending on OOC preference)  may be used in porn productions made on sim others may be sold for experimental purposes or used in edgier "Snuff" films others may be put to work in the Dairy, if either of these things need explaining, then it probably isn't for you.

• Some Dolls work as "Cam Girls". What looks to be a student working on cam shows to pay off their debts, is actually someone that has been forced into virtual prostitution. These cam “studios” use their sites to accept “dirty” crime money that is used to pay for private time. Then, after the studio takes a cut and the worker gets their (very small) paycheck, the money comes back clean. For players who wish to anonymously interact with such a doll, they just need to take the roleplay to Instant messages. Quite simple.

• NOTE: Doll, like all titles in the consortium is a gender fluid role. All genders are welcome.

• NOTE: II As stated above, dolls maybe voluntary rather than forced. Porn actresses and sex workers don't -need- to know the shady side of business.

​

​

​

SOLDIER

​

​

ROLE

• Soldiers are the muscle of the consortium It is they who carry out assassinations and beat downs. It is they who carry out kidnappings. It is they who collect protection monies.

ROLE RECOMENDATIONS:

• A Soldier needs to be both intimidating and capable of carrying out their threats. 

• A Soldier needs to be capable of taking a good beat down too, there is always a bigger fish.

• A Soldier needs to protect syndicate assets such as dolls and hustlers.

• A Soldier is not expected to have all the skill required for a particular job, if there's a safe that needs cracking or security that needs bypassing, that's the role of a hustler. A fixer will know what is needed and find a Hustler for the job, it is the role of the Soldier to protect them.

• Composure , Strength, Dexterity and Firearms, Brawl and Melee are all things that Soldiers should focus on

• Soldiers should show initiative, they should not just await orders or jobs. They should be active in promoting the Consortium.

​

​​​

FIXER

​

​

ROLE

• A Fixer is one who -fixes- things. They either set up and plan jobs such as heists or robberies, arrange hits, arrange kidnappings and of course "Fix" problems within the Consortium

ROLE RECOMENDATIONS:

• A Fixer must arrange big job every calendar month. If you can't do this, do not apply for Fixer position.

• A Fixer must have a working knowledge of the law, it is likely a fixer who will legally represent and bail consortium members out of jail.

• A Fixer is responsible for disciplinary actions within the consortium. However they cannot touch Kingpins.

• A Fixer may be involved in providing new identities or cleaning up crime scenes.

• A Fixer may be responsible for "breaking in" new Dolls, or delegate such tasks to a Soldier, or a group of them.

• A fixer may be retired from the role if they do not drive roleplay, this isn't just a title, A fixer needs to be on sim and organizing jobs.

​

​

KINGPIN

​

ROLE

• The Kingpins are simply the godfathers. They typically keep a low profile, operate in high society, though of course they partake of the fruits of crimes.

• A Kingpin may need to stimulate roleplay by inventing NPC scenarios from time to time.

• Hits can be negotiated with characters, Kingpins can also create "Ellusive Target" Npc's for fixers to put a hit on. Generally the role of kingpin is to give the consortium players plenty to keep them entertained , missions, heists, hits weather against npc targets or player character targets

ROLE RECOMENDATIONS:

• A Kingpin needs a minimum Resource Rating of 5 in order to be able to provide funding for the many operations in Nocturne.

• A Kingpin needs to be discrete and not draw attention to themselves. Ideally only the Fixers and Soldiers should know their identity, though they may get to know Dolls intimately, though they shouldn't tell them their role in the organization.

• Ultimately kingpins should be trying to protect the Consortium from incurring too many losses and keeping supernatural activity a secret from the public, after all the last thing the consortium wants to do is have extra scrutiny applied to New Orleans.

• Kingpins know that all out supernatural wars will topple their fragile empires and so will not seek to antagonise supernatural factions in petty squabbles, besides Kingpins can make a buck or two by selling things to supernatural factions... Blood Dolls, Genetic Samples, all manner of things that are usually hard to obtain.

• MUST: Be friendly OOC. This is paramount. Negotiation is the only way to get green lit for actions against other characters. There simply is no point in having a kingpin who is unable to communicate and negotiate ooc. Must also have a reputation for being open to roleplay, and not arguing the toss.

• There is no point in applying for kingpin if you are argumentative when things don't go your way. You need to sell "Why" its a good idea and what people get out of it, and if they aren't welcoming, thank them for their consideration and be the paragon of excellence to others. These are traits that make good leaders. Pulling up others for things and calling them out publicly generally won't land you the role of Kingpin.

PERK

• A kingpin is able to provide gear and equipment for a particular job. This equipment is illegal and disposable. The kingpin can not "permanently" award gear and equipment to consortium members, only gear and equipment for a particular "job" such as a bank robbery, or a heist and so on and so forth. 

• The kingpin can choose a maximum of 8 items from the gear pages per job (duplicate items do not count, for example you could take 8 submachines as 1 item) 

• The kingpin can not issue items that are worth more than 60xp.

• This perk is exclusive to Kingpins, it is not a perk of the resources rank, this not only represents money, but black market connections.

• The kingpin can not award gear to himself or characters who are not actively pursuing a FIXER issued job.

• Once the job is over, the gear is dumped, there are no exceptions. The gear is evidence and can reveal information about the Kingpin. No gear will be kept for any IC reason.

​

COMMUNICATIONS WITH OTHER GROUPS

•  The kingpin also has the task of negotiating with business and admin -jobs- in particular buildings. Heists and Robberies need to be planned out and equipment needs to be issued. Gear and equipment is -for one job only- consortium members will dispose of gear and equipment immediately after the job, the gear and equipment is -evidence- after all. When the kingpin has arranged the equipment and negotiated OOC with the relevant targets, they can assign the job to a fixer, who will then assemble a crew for the particular job.

• Do make sure that all OOC communication is respectful and that the business owners OOC wishes are taken into account. The business owner may wish to be present for any heist, kidnapping attempts that occur on their property , so as to describe what security measures are in place.

• NOTE: There can be as many Kingpins as required. This -may- be a socialite role as it is mostly paper work, so long as a Kingpin can communicate well and keep the faction active. Kingpins who do -not- drive roleplay will be retired from the role.

• NOTE: Supernatural groups. The consortium has supernatural members for sure, but they are not considered a group of supernaturals. Therefore supernatural groups can not call states of "War" with the consortium. The consortium targets individuals, Members of the consortium are considered to be secret. They are not like the supernatural groups where as leaders are known. The consortium should not feature in any supernatural group discussions or treaties with other groups, as trying to control who or what the consortium targets cripples the roleplay of the group. If consortium members are unmasked they can be targeted individually, but as a whole, the consortium and its members and operations and hq's  aren't listed neatly on a website for all to view.

​

SHADOW ASSOCIATE

​

ROLE

• Mainly an OOC role for group management and resolving OOC issues.

• Occasionally appear on the screen in the conference room, The character may be a computer generated image, certainty there is an uncanny valley feel to the character on the screen. Any attempts to pin down a location ultimately fail, why, nobody knows. Even Virtual Adept mages have failed to pin down real world locations of Shadow Associates. It doesn't seem as if it follows any kind of -computing- logic at all, it doesn't even seem to be transmitted via analogue or digital means.. There is no WIFI or Cable connection to the screen. Perhaps there is some form of magic at play... Either way, your average non V.A won't even be aware of this.

• The role of the Shadow Associate is an admin role, occasionally they will call a meeting of the kingpins and fixers and light the proverbial fire under their asses if things aren't moving in the desired direction. 

• IC the power behind the throne is something that exists in Nocturne, and this maybe revealed over time. A power that enjoys suffering and misery, a power that maybe causes this to direct people to its doorstep in desperation. Certainty there is a cause to all this corruption...

• Names do not matter to the Shadow Associate. He is known only as "Mr World".

​

​

​

CITY INVESTMENTS

​

​

AREAS UNDER CONSORTIUM CONTROL

• The Docks in general.

• The Steel warehouse is where potential dolls are taken and trained.

• The blue warehouse next to the dock crane is where "Jobs are planned"

• The Mermaid falls under the "Protection" of the Consortium.

• The area behind the Asylum is a free for all, though consortium often send "Street Dolls" there.

• The Alley behind the Art Gallery with the peep o'rama and erotic street window display in sim 1. 

• General roleplay conducted in these areas are considered private and often have an adult or forced theme associated with them.  Do note. "Public" areas under consortium control are still able to be used by the general public, indeed alley ways are ripe for non consortium based play.

​

The Consortium operates all over the city but the areas listed above are definitely their turf. All other areas are ripe for protection rackets or ripe for kidnap and abduction, though of course use the role system to identify targets. (Prizes or Generalists) Leave socialites alone, unless offering them potential goods.

​

Do Note: The NOPD cannot count as a target for protection purposes. 

The NOPD is expected to try to stop syndicate operatives.

Some NOPD may be open to corruption (Aggressors)

Other NOPD maybe open to the possibility of being kidnapped (Prizes)

NOPD may be given licence to raid consortium properties if consortium members are spotted fleeing to a property. Admin will decide if warrants can be issued in such circumstances.

​

EVERY SIN UNDER THE SUN

​

​

​

THE DARK WEB  

• The consortium knows there are people looking for some darker entertainments on the dark web.

• The consortium will take anonymous requests to capture and abuse other characters. (Limits dictate the type of abuse) They will broadcast such things on a private channel to the bidder.

• The  captive must of course be consenting to this situation. In order to preserve anonymity a king pin will negotiate with the potential victim and at no point will they reveal who has requested the situation, not even to those carrying out the abuse on the subject.

• If green light is given, the scene will be recorded in the porn studio location in the upstairs part (put onto notecard) and with victims consent shared to the anonymous person. (Again without giving away who requested the hit) 

• Note: It does not matter if the character requesting the hit  is a Socialite, Aggressor, Prize or Defender. They aren't involved in the actual job.

• Never take a contract to kidnap and abuse Socialites. It saves a lot of mess. Generally they have opted out in partaking directly in the darker side.

​

DARK WEB AUCTIONS:

• Slave auctions are carried out on the dark web and bidders use the system detailed under social feats (resources) to bid on captured victims.

• Such auctions are broadcast over the discord dark web channel live from SL. Bids are in discord, actions are in SL. Do be sure to remove victims and aggressors names from the chat though.

​

DARK WEB DISCORD:

Obviously this is restricted in character, however if you have one species roles activated you will be able to view the NSFW channel.

​

• Select Targets : Do emote taking pictures of prizes who are walking around the city in world, emote when you take a photo of them in world. Emote uploading the photo to the dark web in world. On the discord  caption the image and create a poll. The Poll will serve as an indication to how keen the dark web is to have the subject captured and abused for their entertainment.

​

• Capture Target: Once a target is captured, take them to the Steel warehouse and head upstairs and take a few photographs of the target before their impending abuse. Upload these images to the discord, then (Depending on the level of consent of the captured subject) Create a poll of actions and let the crowd watching the stream decide . Give each poll about five minutes before carrying out the actions. Emote the scene in world, take photos in world, upload the images as well as copy and pasting the text to the discord stream. Do remove -names- from the copied transcripts.

​

​

BLACK MAIL

• Sometimes the porn studio location is used to gather -black mail- materials on citizens by recording them engage in sexual acts within the studio, again remember consent is required .

​

HITS

Exactly as the dark web capture scenario, only kingpin's negotiate with victims on -hits- however. Consent is difficult to get for kills, in which case, hospitalization or a week in recovery is recommended for -successful- attempts, death upon anonymous request isn't really something we can endorse.

​

​

CONSENT:

Remember you must always negotiate consent with extreme actions.
