The Skeleton Mafia

###BASIC INFORMATION The Skeleton Mafia is a collective of numerous magically animated skeletons that operate a crime syndicate in Wizard City, a city in the modern world where magic and spellcraft are commonplace. They are responsible for a large portion of black market dealings and illicit substance trade in the city, aggressively maintaining their share of the trade by any means necessary. They use a variety of means and weapons to enforce their stake, ranging from melee weapons such as maces or swords, firearms such as pistols or submachine guns, to even magical artifacts with a variety of devastating effects.

###PHYSICAL DETAILS The skeleton mafia is comprised entirely of magically animated skeletons with sentience and free will. The skeletons all look nearly identical; merely a collection of almost bleach white and perfectly preserved bones in a human shape. They have the same manipulation and range of movement as their human counterparts, though the lack of organs and magical forces animating them mean they can't get tired or strain themselves through activity. The only distinguishing features between them setting each individual skeleton apart from each other are blemishes like cracks or chips in their bones or the articles of clothing they wear. Generally; higher ranking skeletons within the mafia will present more damage on their bones and wear notably more expensive clothes. The most prestigious among them have even been known to fill cracks with pure, gleaming gold for aesthetic purposes and as a flex of their status. Lacking organs or flesh of any kind mean that their expressions only vary so much, generally revolving around how open their mouths are. As a result their main form of self expression is through gestures and movement, though the magic animating them still allows them to speak even without vocal cords.

###PERSONALITY DETAILS Though each skeleton is their own individual with personalized thoughts and feelings they do have some common traits shared between them in how they act or feel. Almost all skeletons feel ambivalent to outright disdainful of humans and the other living races, thinking of them as weak bags of flesh with vulnerabilities that skeletons lack entirely. The majority of skeletons are also fairly cold and direct individuals with a morbid sense of humor, mocking those that aren't of their kind in interactions with them. Being so cold, and lacking hearts entirely, their enforcement methods are often brutal and to the point. They are known to brutally kill and dispose of opposition or obstacles in their way and leave those they wish to teach a lesson badly beaten or maimed as a statement. In the presence of their own kind, however, they are fun-loving individuals who spent a majority of their time discussing business affairs, gambling, partying, and smoking or drinking by taking the substances into the magical core of their animating forces.

###ORGANIZATION DETAILS The Skeleton Mafia controls a considerable portion of the illegal trade of weapons, drugs, enchantments, artifacts, and other illicit goods within Wizard City. They operate primarily out of the skeleton dominated region of Bonetown and sporadically though other areas such as the red light district and the monster slums. They are known to be incredibly violent in their enforcement and protection of their territories, responding with overwhelming forces and numbers whenever another crew encroaches on their established territories. For these reasons and more most other crews avoid them entirely, leaving their stake in the criminal underworld relatively unchallenged. Their leader is the enigmatic Bone Daddy, an elusive skeleton never seen by anyone other than the mafia's top lieutenants or worst enemies who's fates are already sealed. The organization follows a typical mafia command structure of delegated responsibilities to ensure only the most important matters reach the top.
