Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gold will be given to those who:

arrow hit a certain page number
arrow get chosen totally at random
arrow create some Gambino fanart for this contest (can be Johnny or Gino or both; and unless stated otherwise, all submissions will be sent over to the GST's fanart gallery)
arrow write a ficlet (these also will be sent to the GST's gallery)




This will be the same thing as Phase One, only at a point in time when I will have the funds to again give rewards. Maybe a week later?



See Phase Two.



1. You do not have to be a Gambino supporter or even like Johnny or Gino to profit from this giveaway. All I ask is you show the respect of not harrassing those who do support the Gambinos, or posting anti-Gambino messages here--for both Johnny and Gino.

2. Don't PM me asking for gold or items. I will put you on Ignore and you'll get nothing.

3. Please don't freak out on me if you get nothing, or get something and are dissatisfied with it. That's just rude and you're not owed anything to begin with, so just...remember that.

4. Any and all in-character posting/RPing/storytelling is for entertainment purposes only and should not be taken as canon. Please do not post such observations as "You don't know Gambino!" or post demanding proof of interaction with NPCs.

Long has the Gambino family caused me angst and heartache! As a tiny child, I met Johnny Gambino, who was then an associate of my hotel-owning aunt's (who had custody of me). They were two members of a society conspiring to overthrow other businesses, all so their own enterprises could prosper.

My aunt and I didn't get along, and this mutual dislike deepened to the point where, as a teenager, I found myself fleeing to the Isle de Gambino, to retreat into the haven of Johnny Gambino's company. As I passed into adulthood, my idolization of the man turned into admiration and devotion, and a mostly long-distanced romance started between us.

However, my aunt, growing paranoid in old age, no longer trusted Gambino and upon learning of our love, cast me out of the family. At this time, I learned Johnny was involved with more than one other intimate acquaintance and no longer sure of his sincerity, I decided to make my own way, refusing his offers of help. I took on two jobs and eventually was initiated into a syndicate, and as I created my own fortune, more and more time lapsed between the intervals in which I saw Johnny.

G Corp, the zombie outbreak, the destruction of Gambino's mansion, Gino's disappearance and return and then kidnapping at the hands of the Von Helsons--all this passed without my knowing of them. It was not until I'd moved and settled in Aekea, opening my own hotel, that Johnny came to me again, on my 22nd birthday, and we had a few weeks together as his mansion was rebuilt, this time with a tower.

When the April First assasination took place, I was no more aware of what was going on than any other Gaian. For a year I waited, tormented by impersonators of both Johnny and Gino, along with rumors started by delusional past loves of both, claiming both Gambinos were alive and with these lie-mongers. I watched in confusion as Gino seemingly returned, his behavior more and more erratic, then was overjoyed to see Johnny Gambino brought back.

(During Gambino's absence, I met and fell in love with another Gambino supporter, Tobias Geminasu, who understood my devotion and while the two of us married on July First, consented to my romance with Gambino continuing.)

Once more Gambino returned to me, and a long song and dance of sheer angst is back in cycle. He visits me then ignores me, demands I stay away from my husband for weeks at a time, continues to hold onto his other lovers, and recently had my DNA stolen and put into a Shadow Sprite beastie, saddling me with a child (of sorts) I never asked for or wanted. (I wound up exocising said "child's" soul into that of my alien baby, Diego, so that's no longer a problem.)

For all the drama, however, I still adore Gaia's most powerful man, and in spirit of the approaching holidays, wish to host a giveaway honoring one of the Gaians I love most.

If I can get at least one "Wtf?" in reaction to that bs, my mission will be complete.
