  • It is 25 March, 1929. One day after Benito Mussolini secured another victory as the leader of the sole legal party. Italy is a dark place. His unrelenting thirst for control of his citizens shows no sign of slowing down. The madness has everyone seeking a better life elsewhere.

    Being from the industrial part of Italy, the US of A is a very tempting place for your family. The images of the hustle and bustle and personal freedoms that reach you through the grapevine are constantly playing on your mind. Sometime over the next few months your family decides.

    You spend the next few months getting everything together for the journey, saving what money you can. Finally, on the 1st of October, you set out for the land of a better tomorrow.

    September 15th, you arrive to chase the American dream. Once you set foot on American soil, you head to the automotive industry mecca that is Detroit.

    That dream turns into a nightmare rather quickly. The stock market crashes, every working member of your family has been laid off, and the bills are piling up. This is America though, anything can happen.

    This roleplay is gritty, dark, and realistic. There may be elements of abuse, sexual misconduct, and other violence. You have been warned.

  • If this goes forward, I'll probably use my character from Chasing the American Dream, renamed appropriately.

  • Fingers crossed, and I'd be doing the same. There's so much story left untold.

  • Pretty much what you, in real life, are trying to accomplish. Achieve the capitalist dream and rise above the beginnings of their standings.
    Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are.
