O.K, Ahem....my first ever review of anything in WZCW. The review is for the character Anthony Mancini, now with less B.G.
Personally, I have a soft spot for anything Italian. I just think Italian men and woman have this natural charm the second they open their mouths. So it's easy to hit out an Italian accent while reading all the characters in the RP. I think you should incorporate the accent in the text a little more to give the illusion that they do have that heavy Italian accent.
I think Anthony's sidekick Gino should have his first name altered as there's already an Italian in WZCW by the name of Gino... he's this pizza guy who has delusions of beating Mark Keaton awhile ago.
This is obviously a continuing story with the character so I can't really give a final review on the story as a whole but it seems solid so far. Anthony ( like a lot of mobsters on T.V ) values his family and I think his father can play a huge role in the future of Anthony down the line. EX : His father demanding that he throws his match to win a large bet or something along those lines....would be a very unique dynamic to his character and the RP's as well. A son trying to escape the overbearing shadow of his father, with a sidekick who won't let that happen....I think you have a wide open field of possibilities with Anthony and his sidekick with his father always on the pulse.
In my first few RP's as the new guy on the block I went a little over the top with the insanity. I took all the feedback and I'm learning from it. Now in my next RP I'm going to have to back dig a little as it seems a bit too crazy that Mark Keaton beat up a cop to escape jail and was responsible for the death of another cop during a car chase. It wouldn't seem plausible to have a guy on the roster like Keaton who is a wanted criminal for the death of a police officer. lol, I wasn't thinking about that when I wrote it. In the same vein, I think Anthony is in the same boat as it ( SEEMS ) like he's killed a guy with the bar explosion and maybe has plans ( OR ALREADY HAS ) killed the only witness...but you could also argue there's no evidence he killed anyone.
I think Gino Galucci and Anthony Mancini almost certainly have a destined collision in the future. An easy feud to write if Gino Galucci's writer would approve of it, even if it was a quick one off match. Potential for great RP's between some tough Italians.
The following is from my favorite mafia movie .....
Henry Hill: You're a pistol, you're really funny. You're really funny.
Tommy DeVito: What do you mean I'm funny?
Henry Hill: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny, you're a funny guy.
[laughs]
Tommy DeVito: What do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?
Henry Hill: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you tell the story and everything.
Tommy DeVito: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What's funny about it?
Anthony Stabile: Tommy no, You got it all wrong.
Tommy DeVito: Oh, oh, Anthony. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how?
Henry Hill: Jus...
Tommy DeVito: What?
Henry Hill: Just... ya know... you're funny.
Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?
Henry Hill: Just... you know, how you tell the story, what?
Tommy DeVito: No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the fuck am I funny, what the fuck is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny!
Henry Hill: [long pause] Get the fuck out of here, Tommy!
Tommy DeVito: [everyone laughs] Ya motherfucker! I almost had him, I almost had him. Ya stuttering prick ya. Frankie, was he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes, Henry. You may fold under questioning.
Anthony Mancini is O.K with me, man!
