I Lupi, a mafia/mob of sorts that has migrated wherever convenient, looking only for an easy way to make a bit of 'dough'. This group's associates are ones not to be trifled with, eyes and ears are everywhere, on every street, every corner, where you would least expect it. The members themselves are a whole different sort of unit. To become a 'Made Man', or Morph in this case, one must first pass the qualifications, said person must be Italian, and must be an anthropomorphic canine of any sort. Normally, said full fledged members are very easy to identify, they wear fancy suits, wear all sorts of jewelry, have nice shoes, and they're imposing anthropomorphic wolves. I lupi specializes in a whole assortment of different crime activities, basicly all are fine.
I Lupi has a very specific ranking structure, going off of typical Italian Mob regime.
Boss
The boss, or capo famiglia, makes all the important decisions, much like a CEO of a company would. Although each mob boss may run his outfit in a different way, they have one thing in common: they are greatly respected and widely feared by their subordinates. All of the men in his outfit pay him a tribute, so he is also usually an extremely wealthy man.
Consiglieri
The consigliere, or chief advisor, is not officially part of the hierarchy of the Mafia, but he plays one of the most important roles in a crime family. He is the close trusted friend and confidant of the family boss. The function of the consigliere is a throwback to medieval times, when a monarch placed his trust in an advisor whom he could summon for strategic information and sound advice. The consigliere is meant to offer unbiased information based on what he sees as best for the family. He’s not supposed to factor emotional concerns, such as retaliation and blood feuds, into his decisions. Unlike the underboss (see below), the consigliere is not required to be a direct relative of the boss. Instead, he is chosen solely for his abilities and the amount of knowledge he possesses. Generally, only the boss and underboss have more authority than the consigliere in an organized crime family.
Underboss
The underboss, or capo bastone, is second-in-command in the hierarchy of the Mafia crime family. His level of authority varies from family to family, but he is ready to stand in for the boss at any given moment. In the violent and volatile world of the mob, the underboss can easily find himself at the helm of the family so, for the most part, they are usually groomed for an eventual takeover, particularly if the boss’s health is failing or if it looks like he’s headed for a stay in the joint.
Capo
The capo, or caporegime, is the captain or lieutenant of a division within the Mafia. He heads a crew of soldiers and reports directly to a boss or underboss, who hands down the instructions. He ranks much higher in the hierarchy of the Mafia.
Solider
The lowest-ranking members of the hierarchy of the Mafia and La Cosa Nostra are the soldiers, the grunts of the organization who do the majority of the “dirty work.” It’s the place where the kids start off: running errands, making deliveries, picking up cash, and generally sticking out their neck in the hope of making a name for themselves by demonstrating their loyalty to the organization.
Associates
Associates are not actual members of the Mafia but rather anyone who teams up with them on a criminal enterprise of some kind. They could be someone who does business with the mob, including money-laundering bankers, crooked cops, lawyers, politicians, drug dealers, etc. There are also the Italian newcomers who have yet to be made, called cugines, and they play a minor role in the operation of the Mafia.
Now for the rules.
1. No one can present himself directly to another of our friends. There must be a third person to do it.
Say you're about to meet up with a drug dealer you don't know, but your other friend who's with you, knows this guy. Your friend would be the first to meet with the drug dealer, and he'd introduce you as his 'friend'. This rule is in place, so that it'll be harder for others to portray themselves as a maifiosi, as someone, who also knows the other person, must introduce you, to said person. Proving that you are, who you say you are.
2. Never look at the wives/husbands of friends
It's simple, no lusting after the partner of any other maifiosi, it's not cool to cheat bro, dun do et.
3. Never be seen with cops
If you're seen with a cop, you're seen as a rat, and if you're a rat, u gun get whacked.
4. Don't go to pubs and clubs
Okay okay, so this rule is basicly ignored as it is broken so much, just, go with a few friends, that way, if shit goes down, you'll be okay.
5. Always being available. Cosa Nostra/I lupi is a duty - even if your wife's about to give birth
It doesn't matter what day, what hour, or what time. It doesn't matter what you're doing. If you're called on, you answer, and you do whatever is asked of you, even if that involves murdering your own first born child, because this family, means more than your real family.
6. Appointments must absolutely be respected.
Let's say you and your capo agree on a date to meet, say, Thursday, to drink some wine, and talk about mob shit. Unless it is an absolute emergency and your life depends on it, there is no changing the date, once it's made, you do it. Or you get punished
7. Wives must be treated with respect.
No being a bitch who abuses his wife or husband, that is a no no. This counts as physical, and emotional abuse.
8. When asked for any information, the answer must be the truth.
If your Don/Capo/Comrade asks if you took the last cookie from the cookie jar, you answer, no buts, no lying, you answer, even if you get sent to the corner for it, because if you don't, the punishment will be much more severe.
9. Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or to other families.
No taking money from your comrades/buddies, or anyone that belongs to another mafia family. Simple.
10. People who can't be part of Cosa Nostra: anyone who has a close relative in the police, anyone with a two-timing relative in the family, anyone who behaves badly and doesn't hold to moral values.
Self explanatory, if your brother is a cop, you can't join.
11. To join I lupi/Cosa Nostra, you must be anthropomorphic, otherwise, you're nothing but an associate.
Again, self explanatory.
12. There is a dress code, always dress classy, and not too flashy.
No bright colors, stick with suits of any sort, in preferably dark colors, any sort of design is normally fine just as long as you don't look like a special snowflake. Though, do pair trench coats with your suits, you can hide a lot of weapons in there.
(There are exceptions to every rule, circumstances may change, but it's a rule of thumb to try and follow them, that is, if you want to stay in I Lupi/stay alive)
