The D'Amato Family
A family made not of blood, but love

(alternate version here: [link] )

I've been working on this for the past week, and I'm pretty damn proud of it. xD
Dedicated to my Mafia family <3


Be prepared for a big ass description though, if you're willing to read it all.

Thank you in advance for any faves, comments, or watches!!

.: Tyberius D'Amato :.

-The Godfather: Jack of Clubs-
Tyberius D'Amato is a huge name in the upper district known for his high-end night club, "The Jack of Clubs." Underground, he deals in the black market, and his rag-tag family is a force to be reckoned with.

For the few that know him, he seems to come off as nothing but a handsome figurehead, being utterly useless otherwise. However, his spastic good nature is what keeps the family together.
Yet somehow he's still able to seduce the ladies and is quite the playboy.
(Some say it's that stupid nature of his that comes across as being charming. What weird taste.)

Tyberius is a surprisingly deft knife user, having much better aim when throwing knives compared to shooting guns.
He would probably shoot himself in the foot if he were to handle a child's water gun.

.: Queen Bee D'Amato :.

-The Godmother: Ace of Clubs-
True to her name, the Queen Bee of the D'Amato family is the caretaker and "shadow king" of the mafia, running the organization and money of practically everything in place of their useless leader.

Bee is a calculating mind, charming personality, and swift hand, often found dealing in the gambling section of the Club and flirting with the customers.

Her expertise is in demolitions, her wily skills in organization being her main strength. She carries a pack of explosive cards in her vest at all times.

She is often found slapping Tyberius or dragging him around by the tie away from women, but there's love in there. I swear.

.: Pastor Gepetto D'Amato :.

-The Hitman: King of Hearts-
Often found playing his cello at the club, Gepetto is the head of the music department within the Jack of Clubs as well as the kitchen.

In the underground, he's a feared killer known for his precision and accuracy, inspiring both awe and fear with his name alone.
He is known to recite verses from the Bible before a killing, a chilling signature among people of the profession.

At home, however, Gepetto can be seen walking around in his apron, baking cookies in the kitchen and making breakfast, as well as smoking his pipe while watching "America's Next Top Model" on the television from his favorite rocking chair.

There are rumors of him being involved with a certain smuggler, but he denies all accusations.

.: Angelo Zanipolo D'Amato :.

-The Smuggler: Jack of Diamonds-
Angelo is a famous smuggler within the Black Market, who was recently added to the D'Amato family after a failed ransack on their house.
Tyberius took pity on him and placed him under Gepetto's harsh care and supervision until they knew he could be trusted.

His boyish good looks and calculating mind help him get the job done with near 100% accuracy and now helps with supplying the mafia.
Tyberius likes to take advantage of his charm to help rope in the ladies to the Club.

Zanipolo has developed a small apprenticeship under Queen Bee with the finances and money-dealing, his experience being a great helping hand for her, but for the most part he helps accompany the Pastor on missions.
There is some gossip about them having an affair, but he refuses to talk about the issue.

.: Miss Jezebel D'Amato :.

-The Lady: Seven of Spades-
The Lady is the most in demand dancer at the Jack of Clubs, her seductive charms being a main reason people visit the place.
Though honestly, Miss Jezebel is quite the fiery personality and hates her job, sometimes ending up punching or kicking her customers in their lovelies.

Jez and Tyberius are the resident whores of the family, often poking fun at each other and acting like general dorks together.
She doubles as a spy and assassin, her favorite weapon being the tiny 442 Revolver that she keeps strapped on her thigh.

Jez is highly protective of the family's agent, Legato, openly babying her and dressing her up in sharp clothes.
They can often be seen reading together at the fireplace.

.: Little Legato D'Amato :.

-The Agent: Ace of Spades-
Legato is the eyes and ears of the family, her attention to detail giving her uncanny abilities for a girl her age. However, her greatest drawback is her nervous nature combined with her desire to prove herself to the rest of the mafia.

Being Tyberius's younger sister and still a student, she's not allowed in the Club or on many missions, much to her distaste.
(Though, for her credit, her scouting skills are unparalleled.)

This isn't to say Leggie and Tyberius have a bad relationship, though; he's just insanely protective of her.
They're quite notorious for stomping around the house in the midst of their tickle wars and stealing Gepetto's cookies together.

In general, Legato is fairly intimidated by most of the family, her only real peer being Tiny Tommy, who attends school with her.
Despite her slight inferiority complex to Tommy, the two girls get along really well.

.: Gaius D'Amato :.

-The Bodyguard: King of Diamonds-
Recently hired by the D'Amatos to protect Little Leggie, Gaius is a cage fighter Tyberius found off the streets and tidied up for work.

Despite his tough exterior and hardened skills in hand-to-hand combat, Gaius's strong, silent image is to hide a very timid personality.
He wears shades to protect the emotion from showing in his eyes and is actually quite embarrassed by his own shyness.

Tyberius takes Gaius under his wing often, being one of the few people that can loosen him up, though Gaius is a very sweet person by himself and can get along well with anyone if he actually opens his mouth.

He's often dragged out to drink and party by the Godfather and Pastor but prefers quiet nights to either train or spend with Legato, who he becomes very fond of.

.: Tiny Tommy D'Amato :.

-The Assassin: Seven of Hearts-
Tommy is the shortest member of the D'Amato family, her energy and skill more than making up for her lack of stature.

Having learned from her brother, Gepetto's, vast knowledge of weaponry, Tiny is a gun master and sharp shooter despite her adorable visage. (which is rumored to be even deadlier than her infamous Tommy Gun)

Tommy practices salsa dancing in her spare time so that she can eventually help the Club bring in more money.

She loves pulling pranks, being the only one in the family that can get away from Gepetto's motherly hen-wrath.
Tiny and Little get into Nerf gun fights far too often to count, which usually drags the entire family into the chaos.
