[edit] Overview
Mafia 3000 is an action adventure comedy. It revolves around a large mansion guarded by smartly dressed, but highly incompetent guards who all have identical appearances, bar their ties which are a different colour so they can be distinguished.
The guards, all referred to by their first names only, are assigned to protect the Don and his 2 sons. (Micheal Marriotelli & Anthony Marriotelli) Not to mention anyone employed by the aforementioned, like Lawer Daniel Spirelli and Cook Bella from their enemy Agent 48.
The family owns a business called Mariotelli Inc. which specialises in producing a special weapon against any enemy. The name of that weapon? Sawn off 990 - 12 Gauge Shampoo. Its no wonder Agent 48 is out to ruin their business, or maybe he wants to take it over for himself?
[edit] Characters
[edit] The Don & Co.
- Don Marriotelli - The Don is a man of class and taste. He enjoys playing golf on the balcony outside is office and loves to drink brandy. Since the arrival of Agent 48 though, he has become a recluse, locking himself away in his office most of the time and jumping at the slightest sound. He has guards wrapped around him like a towel when he moves from one room to another, just in case. The only time when he doesn't have guards near him is when he plays golf.
- Anthony Marriotelli - The eldest of the Don's two sons, Anthony is a very sensible and highly trained guy. He is always alert and ready for anything. He has been put in charge of the accounts for the familly business. However, most of the time he has to look after his younger, naive brother Micheal.
- Micheal Marriotelli - Young and highly influenced. Micheal is the teenage son of the Don. Although he is naive and careless at times, he is eager to learn the tricks of the trade just to make his father proud... But, this is always at the expense of his older brother and the guards.
- Daniel Spirelli - Daniel is the family lawyer. He makes sure everything is running smoothly and gets the Don's youngest son out of many scrapes. He wears a greyish blue suit and his mousey hair is always slicked back with two strands poking out. (Which he hates.)
- The Maid - This lady is a strange one. She screams at everything. Never speaks, just screams. If a car came towards her, naturally she screams, but if Alan (Who has a crush on her) asks her out, she screams then too. She finds everything scary. Even mopping the floor. It is a wonder she gets any cleaning done at all!
- Bella - Bella is the cook employed by the Don to cook meals for him, the family and the guards. She is a superb cook and manages to create outstanding meals, even from the strangest ingredients. Even though she is on the large side, she has a pretty face and is adored by many of the guards.
- Agent 48 - Agent 48 is the enemy of the entire Mariotelli business. He is always seeking to destroy them, or at least shut them down. No one knows who he is or who he works for. He is sneaky and cunning. It is a pity that he chooses the strangest hiding places and uses the loudest guns imaginable.
[edit] Guards
- Alan (The Average Guard) - Alan the average guard, as he is know to many, is one of the main characters. He wears a yellow tie and specialises in small firearms. He usually has one gun holstered on his side and a small revolver holstered on his left ankle. His role is to guard the front entrance of the mansion. He is quite shy and has a crush on The Maid, but the feelings are not mutual it seems.
- Clive - Sporting a blue tie, Clive is Alan's best friend. He is usually seen hanging around where ever he is telling jokes. He specialises in Shotguns, although he hasn't quite got the knack of keeping his feet on the ground when firing one and most of the time ends up deeply embedded in the nearest bush.
- Fred - Unlike all the other guards, Fred has blonde hair. He is obsessed with his image and is rarely seen without a comb in his hands. When he walks by a mirror, he just HAS to stop and look at himself, even if there is something really bad going on at the time. He wears an orange tie.
- Max - Wearing his vibrant red tie, Max is the bossy guard that everyone loves to hate. He enjoys nothing more than stealing the best jobs from the rest of the group so he can suck up to the Don. When there is a crisis, though, he is always reliable and knows exactly what to do.
- Dave - Dave is not the best conversationalist, but he certainly knows tactics. With his green tie wrapped around his neck, he is ready for anything the day throws at him. It is just a pity that he is always ignored, leading to utter chaos.
- Richard - Poor Richard, or Dick as he is known, got the tough end of the deal when it came to tie colours. All the colours were taken, bar Pink and so he was left with no choice but to wear it. He spends most of his time trying to find ways of disposing of it rather than working, but the rest of the crew always end up finding it and handing it back to him.
- Julian - Purple tied Julian is the garage guard. He spends his time making sure the Don's and the Don's son's cars are not tampered with or stolen. His job is supposed to be rotated between the guards to ensure fairness, but that is never the case.
- Tommy - Hot headed and young, Black tie wearing Tommy is always wanting to cause trouble. When news of Agent 48 hits his ears, he gears himself up with all manner of weapons. This is usually met with comments like: "Hey Tommy? Gonna blow up a small country?"
- Patrick - Patrick is usually seen guarding the entrance to the kitchen. However, he has a very weak stomach and the smell of Cook Bella's cooking usually makes him heave and dash to the toilet. He wears a navy tie.
- Ethel - Ethel, cursed at birth with a girls name is picked on by the guards. He is a strong willed guy and can take everything they say with a pinch of salt. Nine out of ten times he has a new random stain on his white tie each day which the guards try to guess what it is and take bets on what they think it could be that day before they greet him outside the Don's room.
- Brian - Hardcase Brian wears a grey tie. He says it makes him feel indifferent, since grey is neither evil or good, as it is a mix of black and white. Although a very tough character, he is prone to spouting poetic verses.
- Sid - The Brown tie pretty much sums this guy up. He has a severe hygiene problem and is always left guarding some random, unused room just to keep him happy. (Not to mention away from everyone else.)
- Authur - Very clever and wise, good looks, trim body... Purple tied Authur has everything the other guards wish they has. The only trouble for poor Aurthur is that he seems to have a speech problem and sounds more like a Neanderthal than a human being.
- Movis - With an unusual name, Movis is the twin brother of Ethel. The two guys are cursed with girls names. Movis wears a mauve tie and is usually seen guarding the entrance to the mansion by the swimming pool.
- Row-Bott - Model number 9841P, Row-Bott is a "Guard-o-Tron" robot. Even though he doesn't wear a smart suit like the other guards, he does wear a vivid magenta tie.
