Hi folks!
As selecting Criminal for major and minor Influence contacts is commonly very popular, we'd love it if you considered some flavor for your Influence contacts that correspond to a style of underworld-y mafiosi when submitting for these.
As the great melting pot of America's Classic World of Darkness begins to boil over, many of the gangs and organizations that exist in the old world, or other parts of the world will make their way into the 'little italy' of each ethnic subdivision - meaning that your characters needn't limit themselves to a certain ethnic area of the world - all of these little neighborhoods may 'happily coexist' within the winding streets, gambling parlors and back-alleys of Dark Seattle.
We Storytellers would love to celebrate the diversity of your Kindred's murderous criminal empires, so pick a syndicate, any syndicate, when you sign up for a particular influence and choose Criminal as one of your Major or Minor contacts.
Here's some amazingly diverse crime to choose from: List of Criminal Enterprises, Gangs and Syndicates
Are you running with a Major Influence contact that is a boss for a classic crew of Italian La Cosa Nostra? A rough and tumble gang of Rasta Yardies? French Mileu thieves? Johannesburg Pirates? Mexican Cartels? Hobo Afghan War Vets? Let us know and we can better build the world surrounding your character's less-than-legal major and minor associates.
Please note, some of the ethnic groups are very specific about who they allow in their gangs, while others are less so. Therefore without access to certain disciplines (Dominate/Presence or Obfuscate) it is unlikely for a pasty white European Kindred to hold much sway with the Yakuza.

Thanks, and happy mugging
