History 

Paddy O'Shea grew up in Dublin, Ireland. He was a street level petty criminal from a young age. As he built more and more of a reputation, he became the leader of his own street gang which mostly comprised his younger brothers and cousins. The name 'O'Shea' became a feared and respected name, on the streets of Dublin and beyond. He took his gang from carrying out small robberies on the street corners, to robbing banks, trains and kidnapping and ransoming important people. He met and married Patsy O'Shea and they had 8 sons and 4 daughters. Paddy Jnr, Jimmy, Jonny, James, Roy, Ray, Mick, Matty and Patsy, Paula, Pammy and Prinny. All the sons upon reaching 14 were introduced to their fathers business, which quickly became the 'family' business. They took bank robbing, protection racketeering and Kidnapping to a never before seen, professional level.

After a bank robbery went wrong and 4 local policemen where killed, the sons fled Dublin for Various different destinations. They all carried the 'family' business going wherever they settled. Before leaving their Mother and Father In Dublin behind, they swore a family blood oath to their Father, that they would upon getting settled, they would raise their own children with the goal of reuniting the whole Family in 'the new world', and carrying on the family business as one. Each Son and daughter had their own children, who have swore to honour their parents blood oath to their grandfather and have all set sail to New Alexandria, with the aim to unite with each other and establish their grandfathers business and make the name 'O'Shea', once more, a feared and respected name.

Matty O'Shea fled Dublin for Liverpool, England. He became a feared doorman working on the local public drinking houses. He created a gang of 4 men who specialised in kidnapping dock security and forcing them to open the gates to steal the valuable merchandise. They became known as Violent and Intimidating if they didn’t get their own way. Stabbing, beatings and of course ‘Kneecappings’, was frequently practiced as encouragement, to get what they wanted. He met and married Pat O'Mannion, herself of Irish heritage, and they had 2 sons, Harley and Cormac and 2 daughters Ciara and Octivia.

Harley O’Shea was born a big heavy brute and carried on growing to over 6'4". Harley was always in trouble for fighting and taking whatever he wanted. He has a massive issue with being told ‘No’ and often goes to extreme lengths, to get his way. He joined his fathers business at a young age, starting as a simple ‘Heavy’, obeying orders at first. He quickly to a more vocal and Leadership Role. After an ‘Encouragement’ of a dock security worker went wrong and he was murdered, by Harley, for refusing to cooperate, Harley was informed that 1 of his Fathers friends ‘Ratted’ to receive a Marginal sentence. This installed a slight Paranoia and excessive reactions against anyone he believes to be a Snitch. He has sailed from Liverpool, England to evade the Police and has arrived at New Alexandria to meet up with his cousins, to fulfil his family oath. He leaves behind a Son from a previous relationship, named Harry.

Mick O'Shea went on to the lovely city o' Galway, on the western shores of Ireland. He lived a merry life there, havin' his way with many a wench, which had him end up with a bunch o' bastards he initially wanted nothin' to do with. Years went on by, when the day came he ran into a redheaded lad by the name of Finley, who turned out to be one of those bastards he'd had. Mick was shocked by how much his bastard son looked like him, and decided to take him along with him, teachin' Finley all sorts o' the family's practices. When Finley was told about his other family members, he immediately departed for New Alexandria, to make up for the time he didn't get to spend with them.

Rory O'Shea was born in a brothel to a lass who'd once had the displeasure of gettin' shagged by ol' Roy O'Shea. Rory never cried when he was a kid, and never quite talked a lot either. Growing up he'd get in all sorts of trouble with the other children in the neighborhood, but as he was already quite big for his age, he made sure to make that stop rather quickly. Once Roy O'Shea got word of his bastard, he welcomed him into the family with open arms. Rory spent most of these years as a 'bodyguard' type of lad, knockin' aside any troublemakers without too much of a hassle. He stayed in that line of work for a while after Roy's passing, but when he got word of a bunch of O'Sheas stirring up some trouble in New Alexandria he saw it as an opportunity to face some more difficult odds, instead of the constant supply of drunkards back in Glasgow.

Patrick O'Shea Jr, The youngest son and runt of the litter. Wee Paddy, having bore the name of his Grandfather and being the youngest of the Patsy O'Shea line, he always felt he had something to live up to and something to prove. He admired his Grandfather and the stories that came with his legacy, so much in fact he choose to live with his Grandfather and head of The O'Shea clan, further driving his interest in the underworld. Dude to his size, he'd encountered teasing and dismissal due to the protective nature of family. Beyond that, he'd find scorn from outsiders due to the destructive nature of The O'Shea's and being the smallest, obviously he became the prime target. This twisted Paddy and over time he grew violent and vicious, finding comfort in such things as guns or knives. Simply put, he grew very unstable to the point of madness. He'd act alone, rashly, remorselessly and due to the savagery of his actions grew to be feared in his own right as the fearless runt. With his brothers and cousins immigration, Paddy grew more unstable, and without eyes to monitor his actions, his violent outbursts turned murderous. Even as an O'Shea his actions were... animal. A warrant for Wee Paddy was issued when he'd stabbed a local Dublin policeman 27 times in the chest, yet could never be found as his mother in a frantic state pushed him towards immigration to reunite with his kin, hoping they could tame the vicious runt of the family. The grandfather agreed of course, happy to see his legacy sprout and further the union of his bloodline. Patsy put $100 in his pocket and sent him before the law caught and executed him. Paddy with his heads fixation on the aspects of a wild west grew excited at the prospect of legend, filling his fantasies with ideals of gun fights and being notorious.

Jimmy Sr fled Dublin after the bank robbery and landed himself in London, he then married Sheila Smith and they had many children, 8 boys: Amon, Barrey, Bradey, Coyle, Declan, Jimmy, Keeffe, Kieran and 1 girl, Caoimhe. Jimmy Jr was the oldest at 36 years old so he took leadership of the O'Shea gang in London once Jimmy Sr retired from the family business, they robbed banks and shops for many years until a hold up in a pub went wrong, Jimmy ended up killing the barman including 4 other people, during the fight Jimmy got glassed in the face which resulted in a big scar down the left side of his face. The O'Shea's managed to escape with minimal injuries and then fled London after finding out that they were at the top of Scotland Yard's most wanted list. Jimmy was the only one that fled the country to New Alexandria but he sent word back home that their were more O'Shea's over in the new world hoping that more of his brothers would follow.

Harry O'Shea, the bastard son of Harley O'shea and a immigrant, Harry was born in the bustling port city on Liverpool, his father was young when he had him and his mother was unused to life in England and got by by doing odd jobs for local companies, Harry quickly found the best way for him to make money was by crime, from a young age he pickpocketed, stole, and was well known around the Liverpool docks for being swindling and thieving. He was able to handle himself, taking part in many fights and getting into trouble often. Unfortunately the life of crime caught up with him, and he was about to be sent to a juvenile jail system, before his kindly mother used her connections to send him across to find his father in New Alexandria, because of his skill set and his life style preference she knew he would be better there, than staying where he was.

James O'Shea fled Dublin, Ireland for New York City, he was another member of the O'Shea Family to enjoy his booze a little to much, nearly as much as he liked his women. James O'Shea immediately used his previous life experiences to get himself involved with the local Irish Mob in New York City. His violent temper immediately earned him a reputation as an underworld Enforcer. He was arrested and given Life imprisonment for the underworld execution of a known snitch. James O'Shea's had a bastard son with one of his many dalliances, he named him Johnny. James adored his only child and took the young boy everywhere with him. Johnny was introduced to all his fathers colleagues and shown the inner workings of Mob life. James O'Shea told his son of all his past tales back home, of all the family his son had out there and most importantly, the oath he had made to his grandfather to unite the family. Johnny from his early teens, started running errands for his Father and his companions and slowly but surely, proved his capabilities. As he earned their trust he was given permission to run his own schemes and scams and proved he had a knack for them. Not a particularly violent man at first, he had to learn to deal in violence as the conflicts between gangs began increasing, he then abandoned the games of politics when he realized, violence got things taken care of faster, more easily too. As conflicts grew more heated and the law got involved he became a bit of a loose cannon and his reputation and past deeds, forced him into trying to lay low, but had drawn too much heat to himself by this point. He was arrested for his crimes as he posed as some sort of snake oil salesman and sent to jail for life, but a fortunate little mishap during transportation, as a rival gang tried to kill him but inadvertently allowed him to break free and he managed to escape as bullets flew around him. He had heard rumours there was more family in New Alexandria, and wanting a fresh new start, he took the first boat leading there in search of his Cousins and to fulfil his fathers oath.

While her older brother Harley took after their father not only in height, business and attitude, Ciara took after her mother Pat O'Mannion. 5'6" light on her feet but always had a knack for getting herself into trouble. Her mother tried to teach her the "lady" way of things but Ciara had a fighting spirit and her mother struggled to get her to sit long enough. All she wanted to do was see what Harley was doing. Looking up to him and their father. In her teen years she tried to join the family business but her mother had none of it, going to the extent to send her away to a "finishing school" This just made her more determined. Running from the school and making her own way in life. Taught herself how to hunt to practice her shooting. Doing small jobs such as robbing stores or people to build her confidence up and making herself into a woman not many dared to mess with. She did her best to stay in contact with Harley but over time due to the nature of both their lives they lost contact for a short time. In her early 20's she got a letter from her brother once more. Putting her in contact with him again. Soon as she found out he had travelled to New Alexandria she was packing and getting on a boat to meet with him and the family. She was an O'Shea. Her fathers daughter and fuck anyone who dared try to tell her otherwise.

After Paula's brothers fled Dublin Paula put herself first before her family, she wanted a new life away from all the crime that'd she felt was the past, moving to Wexford, southern Ireland. Paula met a man named Henry one day in the open market, they got to know each other and soon after lived together in a house couple miles west from Wexford. 9 months later Thomas came into the world, Paula & Henry were planning on getting married but six months after the birth of Thomas, his father Henry was shot and killed after trying to stop a thug attempting to rob a older lady. Paula felt she couldn't reach out to her family since she felt she had failed her parents and lost her family. Thomas was picking up an order of sorts of vegetables for his mother, Thomas walked in and ask for an order for O'Shea, instantly the old shopkeepers eyes lit up. He asked Thomas if he knew who his family is, Tommy stood there confused and replied "me mom?" The shopkeeper shook his head "Your Grandfather." Thomas now intrigued knowing no knowledge of his Family beside his mother. The shopkeeper sat down Thomas and explained how he used to hear the wildest stories of Thomas's Grandfather Paddy O'Shea and the family of controlled chaos, robbing banks in snap the shopkeeper snapped his fingers and Thomas was instantly fascinated with his family's story.
Tommy carried the groceries home and right away he said to his mother "You didn't tell me our family were notorious criminals" a worried look grew on Paula's face, she knew this would lead to something with this boy." After taking out some old photographs and letters from the family's past Thomas was loaded with questions but his mother refused to answer them. Once Paula found out that her family was back at it she knew that Thomas would ask about it, Paula refused that he goes and tries to find them. That very week Thomas planned an escape all the way to America, hopping a long a cargo ship early in the morning with nothing but sack full of bread, canteen of water and the clothes on his back, he headed to New Alexandria.

Ty got robbed by a family called the O'Shea's whilst alone but they ended up not taking anything and giving him money instead to get him started in the new state.

After a few days of getting to know each other Ty mentioned he had a father called Roy and a half brother called Rory, that he had never met.

This however did not stop Octivia from trying. Whenever her mother looked away, Octivia would try to sneak off. Jumping on a wagon passing by, running. Anything to feel free. Matty O'Shea saw this, he could tell that Octivia had the O'Shea fire burning in her. One night while Pat was asleep, he snuck into Octivia's room. Gently he woke her and told her to go, "Find your brother and sisters, Make me proud Tia". With those words, the two shared one last hug before Octivia sat out to find her family, she would stop at nothing to make her father proud.

Only to be opened when the child was older. Then Percy was born. Mother Elise called him Christian Berg to hide his last name from the public, since O'Shea was a feared name among the streets. Percy grew up to work as a cleaner boy and as a shoeshine boy for most of childhood, not to speak too much unless necessary. As he got older, he started to clean around the local hospital, where he used to spy on the study rooms and surgery halls. Learning how to do surgeries. From there, he used that to his advantage. Scamming people by treating the poor and charge them higher prices. And through that, he learned the true meaning of his family's last name. Rumours, yet the truth. The rumours became so much, that his mother confessed who his true father were. An O'Shea. When he turned 24 years old, his mother became very ill and were on the deathbed.

By the month of July the family had built up big warrants with deputies trying to serve those warrants every day. The family went on to rob multiple banks and rob deputies gaining hundreds of dollars in the process, they also gained a reputation of shooting down every deputy that got in their way. The month was relatively quiet compared to the previous ones due to most of the family looking at years and years in Sisika. The family noticed that Jack took a disliking to Micky and threatened him many of times, the family decided to talk to Jack about this and he revealed he was never an O'Shea and tried to take the family down from the start, he was then on the receiving end of an O'Shea firing squad and his body was fed to the alligators of Lemoyne. After spending 35 years in Sisika for two murder charges that were never proven Ciara was released and re-joined the family in their activities. The family decided to concentrate on running Patsy's Pub in Saint Denis so they all agreed to no longer rob regular civilians and only focus on deputies and people who took a disliking to the family. By the end of the month most of the family still have very big warrants due to the Deputies trying to storm the pub and getting shot down every time.

August 1900
The family started the month off with a bank job in Rhodes and after some negotiations Micky decided to had himself over to the Deputies so that the other family members could escape. After multiple breakouts most of the family were given public bounties and that started a period of time where bounty hunters would try their luck and the first one to do so was John Rifle. The family built up a plan with Raven Crowley to capture Rifle and they met up at Emerald Ranch, captured him and took him to the broken down fort just outside of Van Horn. John was then surrounded by Harley, Micky, Thomas and Lorcan McCarthy and after some talks he was killed via firing squad and unfortunately due to the shots being in the open they were heard by nearby deputies and before the family managed to dispose of the body the deputies found them and to the family's knowledge they all received murder charges and are possibly facing the firing squad. The family continued to rob banks throughout the state even though they could have murder charges gaining more money but in return more warrants. The family were confronted at the front of the pub by Wayne, Lillianah and Perzival Dagouter and after very little talks the family were then shot down using shotguns, after those members got out they decided to go to the Dagouter homestead and burn it to the ground with Aaron Hunter tied up inside, in retaliation the bastille in Saint Denis was burnt down. The family then kidnapped Perzival from Valentine and held him captive and demanded Wayne Dagouter to pay $1000 for the safe return of his son, after days of emotional and physical torture they decided to let him go after hearing nothing from Wayne. In the final week of August many deputies followed Delgato and handed their badges in, some of them decided to follow Antonio Delgato and they started to hunt O'Sheas as a group of Vigilantes, the family decided to make a rule that nobody travelled alone from this point going forward. Roy and Octivia travelled woke up in Saint Denis and decided it was best to meet with Ciara and Kayn at their farmstead at Mattock Pond but on the way they were stopped in Rhodes by Antonio Delgato, Jack John, Morty Detwiler and Perzival Dagouter. Roy and Octivia were then captured and taken to Delgato's former home east of Emerald Ranch. Due to being pregnant Octivia was knocked out whereas Roy was tied to a tree and received a firing squad, he died instantly from his injuries. Octivia managed to remember what happened so she told Harley and the family instantly went out to hunt the four people involved in the murder, it only took a day for them to find Perzival and after taking him down to the tunnels under Saint Denis they decided to slit his throat and that crossed one name off the list.

September 1900
Harley sent a letter to the state explaining that the state of New Alexandria had nothing more to offer and once he had ticked off the names Jack John, Morty Detwiler and Antonio Delgato from his list he will be sailing back home. The family went on a parole of the state on the first night of the month to see if they could find any of the three, they then stumble across a group of Tobi Hunter, Aaron Hunter and Benjamin Powell after a few minutes of discussion a gunfight ensued and Harley, Tommy and Lorcan were pronounced dead in the Valentine Doctor's office from gunshot wounds. Due to the deaths on the previous night Woolton woke up in a depressed mood and Ciara agreed to put him out of his misery before he harmed someone that didn't deserve it. Antonio Delgato and his firing line travelled around the state looking for any remaining O'Sheas, they stumbled across Kayn and he was given a firing squad on the edge of Flat Iron Lake and was put into a coma. The rest of the family realised the dangers of staying in state so they packed their bags and left the state.
