[LIST]
[*][B][COLOR=#ff8000]Fitted and unlined suit jacket/complimenting dress outfit[/COLOR]:[/B] [I]An Onyx casual dress jacket tailored out of both Wool and Cashmere for both an eye-catching, deep violet shine yet comfortable breathing area to suit the heats of a polluted Hong Kong. Inside and at just the level of the fifth rib lies a grafted-on ballistic weave molded fabric trilaminate holster, containing his sidearm of choice. This is placed at the rib, or in the small of his waist, to give off a minimalist bulge as to where it would be much more apparent if it was further up his torso. Just above said holster lies two pouches, each for a magazine. Associating the suit is a regular ballistic weave layered under the original tailoring, defending up to (at most) a single 5.56x49mm round. While it will stop penetration, it will by no means stop a bullet's kinetic impact.[/I]

[*][B][COLOR=#ff8000]Heirloom Colt M1911[/COLOR]:[/B] A somewhat run-of-the-mill sidearm chambered in a subsonic hollow point .45 ACP, given to Alvin as a family heirloom since-passed down from early on in the twenty first century. Both the slide and receiver are replaced with nickel counterparts to give it more of a flare, along with the [URL='https://i.imgur.com/zHpn8hb.png'][B]gold chip[/B][/URL] in the grip being filed down and replaced by a zinc in-lining of an American penny. The subsonic rounds are to coincide with Alvin's strict moral code of a zero-death tolerance; this means that he harbors an abstinence towards killing and murder. While yes, even owning a gun is contradictory to that, he sees it as a necessary evil for his own safe-keeping.

[*][B][COLOR=#ff8000]Get-A-Grip [Both hands] augment[/COLOR]: [/B][I]A subdermal augmentation implanted into the both of Alvin's hands to enhance his grip and hand's motor functions far beyond that of the average Joe's. While still pertaining to the effects of boosting the hand's grip, it was originally received by him to counteract the effects of early onset Arthritis. Though with this, Alvin's body is not kind to augments. He must religiously (weekly) take a dose of Anti-Immuni's to subdue this, otherwise both his normal grip and Arthritis will return. For starting off, he possesses [U]two[/U] bottles of these.[/I]

[I]I plan on all of the above listed adding up to Alvin being a part of the saying "two sides of the same coin". While during early business hours he'll live the life of a wholesome man tending to the old, in his leisure hours he assumes the mindset of a high roller looking to raise a profit for both him and his family alike in the political market of a tulmutuous Hong Kong.

[B][COLOR=#0080ff]Backstory (1.5 page linked from Google Drive for permanent factions)[/COLOR]:[/B]

[I]Ennio De Luca was born in Brindisi, Italy, on May 9th, 1967. He was raised up by catholic parents, and had a more than normal childhood, even if his family was more on the poor side. He grew up to be a fit young man with even the wit to match it. In the weeks leading up to his graduation from his high school, he came into contact with a woman named Maria Vicenza. The two had instantly sparked and began to see each other regularly, as a couple. However, after his graduation from school, Ennio had decided instead of furthering his education, that he would enlist in the military. To Maria’s dismay, he did just that, serving for a little over 8 years.

Upon return from his service, he found himself in a financial rut with the coming economic crash caused by political turmoil. Throughout these years, his steadfast girlfriend, Maria, had stuck by his side. They were married now, but still faced these financial struggles. Desperate and hungry for the thrill of a more exciting life, Ennio began his descent into the life of crime. His past military experience gave him an upper hand on more than one occasion, extorting many in his hometown in return for protection. It was not hard for him to rally a few of his comrades from the army, who were also desperate and with the same goal as him. This was the beginning of two generations of subterfuge, Ennio being naturalized into the Gambino crime Family- as to which he would later pass the name down to his children. Years had passed, and things had only prospered, with the family expanding into further territories, with a large cargo port that was Brindisi’s main business  now being their headquarters. They had moved up from extortion, and moved into the market of exporting and importing goods (with a touch of smuggling here and there). In the following years after the large growth, Ennio had his first child, named Vincent. Another followed in 2010, with the name of Alvin. The brothers grew very close in their childhood, being raised similarly to how their father was, being brought up Catholic. They too completed school, only to begin following in their father’s footsteps, helping out with the business in smaller ways to begin.

As more years flew by, the Gambino brothers learned the game expertly, knowing their way around all the business aspects, as well as intimidation. Despite their knowledge and skill, the economy around them was crashing. This impacted the business heavily, causing major shortages in income/supply and demand, forcing their supply runs dry. Unable to dish out payment to their goons and gals and to supply other Families and organizations, the brothers decided to flee. They had heard of a place in Asia, where things were far better than the rest of the world in terms of profitable exploitation.. Upon hearing that, they packed a few things, gathered their parents, and went off. Upon arrival, with the last bit of their wealth in hand, they decided to dish it out on a local business-- a bar. With this, they began their rebuilding of their once respected Family.[/I]
