The bare skeleton of this idea is modern day, American gangster style. A newly formed organised crime family are recruiting and going to begin the journey of climbing their way to the top dog position against two other organised families that are in the midst of a turf war, so this is the perfect opportunity.
The reason why this idea is mostly skin and bones is so that everybody can throw in their own ideas for it. So feel free and suggest whatever you would like to see in this.

I love the idea but where are you thinking about it taking place? I could see the Midwest or Southeast would be good places to start off. Baltimore or Detroit is a good place to base a location for the RP off of the stuff that goes down there.

The place where it is based is up to you guys.
Similar to that Jacky but with less of the tradition. There are captains, dons, 'made men and women' that sort of stuff. Discrimination can still be a thing though such as women only get half as much respect as a man, some prefer not working alongside people of colour etc.

Speaking of which, what are the roles? Each crime family has predetermined roles and positions to be filled by the members of the organisation; varying levels of responsibility and respect attached to each one, but they're there for efficiency, like muscle, strategist, forger, various managing of various businesses etc.
What roles are attached to the family? And how much respect does this family have in general at the beginning of the RP?

The biggest roles are the Don and Captain. Dons are basically what it says on the tin. They make the meetings with all major members, organise a meeting with rival gangs and say who gets made and who gets whacked.
Captains collect a share of the money made from those of lower rank as tribute. They organise large jobs/heists and name who takes part and their role. Managing the ins and outs of the family.
Made men and women are the Captain's soldiers. They report directly to them and are trusted with the bigger jobs. They usually have a nickname which highlights their Specialty.
Under the made men and women are mobsters. Basically minions that the made take with them for jobs. Their skills can vary.
For the current respect, they have enough respect to make themselves known in the city and taken seriously. Perhaps the ones forming it have a history in organised crime and used their connections. I'm willing to hear any other suggestions

What would we prefer?
1) A newly formed organised crime family, who had the connections and the respect to get started and begin recruiting.
2) A former crime family that was thought to be all arrested and/or killed, but a few prominent members survived and went into hiding, but now they're coming out and ready to rebuild their empire by getting into contact with old connections and creating new ones?

1 for sure but since this is modern day what about the presence of gangs and other mobs? Because I had a character in mind that was a former member of a gang.

With organised crime, you can't get out once you're in. You leave, they pull you hack into it and if you refuse, you are whacked because you know too much
