#giornos

Translation: Can we get a photo of all the giornos?

Yes you may! Here’s all of them lined up

Since these aren’t to scale and are just avatars, here’s them in the same order, just at their canonical heights

Also because I’m feeling nice, I’m telling you that with the exception of Alba (who was created as the leader), all of the other elite giornos had been ocs beforehand, and here’s some art of them!!

Cynthia (Both of these were oc-tober challenges, and the tall woman on the second one actually is also a part of the giornos, both were COD MW ocs)

(Cynthia might actually be a headmate…? Her reasoning for existence in the COD universe is so vague to us…) (Don’t worry, a lot of our “OCs” turned out to be headmates.)

Matteo (Also, a MW oc, remained relatively the same, as far as being a gay himbo)

Valle (Just one drawing, she mostly existed as an avatar on roblox as a mafialing for the sonnellinos before I decided she’d head on over to the Giornos) (also, done on a mouse so it’s not up to par, hehe)

And finally, Sparrow (who had been in his own couple of bots, but we decided to just scooch him on over to the Giornos. It also made since because Cynthia was there.)

Also a bonus: There’s a Kelsey mentioned in Cynthia’s backstory, and yes, she also was an OC whom I shoehorned into existing in this AU

(In the second pic the gal on the left is named Dahlia, I’m still unsure if she would be written into this or not, but it had been who I decided Kelsey’s gf at the time was)

took me a little while to think while playing minecraft but I’ve got a basic idea

TL:DR / Summary: Giornos have been around longer than the Sonnellinos, and have more open displays of power. Sonnellinos started as a branch of the Giornos after Don’s grandfather left the group out of spite.

Valle was recruited after attempting to scam Alba while being a crossdresser, Matteo was recruited after Alba figured out his military experience, Cynthia and Sparrow were recruited when Alba invited them for a chat the day after Sparrow was confronting a Giorno associate who threatened Cynthia.

—————

Giornos have been around for more generations than the Sonnellinos have, so the Sonnellinos are the newcomers in the game, which is also why the Giornos, broadly, have more bureaucratic power, and Don sees it as bullying the little guys, he’s determined to, not kill all of them, but to take them down, recruit more people to his mafia, or maybe… alliance.

(I’d assume the Giornos trace back to some of the beginnings of crime syndicates in general, which I’d say like… 1880s for the giornos specifically, im referencing wikipedia which says the start for most REAL LIFE ones can be traced back to the 1860s)

Though, the beef started with Don’s grandfather, Don Sonnellino I (Yes, Don is legally Don Sonnellino III) who was actually a part of the Giornos as a soldier, but a bit of a falling out happened, dissatisfied with the leadership at the time, (I’d have to make a family tree of sorts, with leaderships when it comes to continue fleshing out the Giornos and Sonnellinos) Don Sonnellino I would then leave with a group of soldiers and associates, splitting off into their own branch (around prohibition era)

(And this is where i establish that the robloxia i write mimics the real world, just with roblox terms in general to describe hierarchies, and robloxians in place of humans, don’t dwell on it too hard, okay?)

Alba, like Don, had inhereted the throne, her mom having been the leader and her father having been just some guy off the street (Alba, her mother, and one other woman had been the few female leaders of the Giornos… way to be progressive urm slayyy!!!!)

—————

A little about how each Giorno elite soldier had been selected:

—————

Valle - She was a con-artist, along with having been a musician. She did what could be described as being a “Male performer”, or a “Female husband”, getting with women while being a man, but for nefarious reasons. (Getting to their homes and then robbing them)

Man, those sapphics really are brutal… /j

But, then Valle had tried that with who she didn’t know was Alba, not because she didn’t know the giornos existed, but because Alba hadn’t been dressed as she normally was.

Valle and Alba were able to get pretty close, while Alba had been realizing the whole time what was happening, scanning every expression of Valle, for any deceit or mischief, not the crossdressing part, Alba genuinely had no idea Valle was a woman, even if she suspected anything, Alba just assumed at most Valle was a trans man.

Regardless, Alba was impressed, and got Valle to start working for her, once she broke to Valle that she knew what Valle had been up to this whole time.

—————

Matteo - A chance meeting, really. Alba does chill, quite a bit, and Matteo was initially security at a VIP spot in Robloxia, where Alba would frequent, and she made conversation with him.

Alba’s just always been interested in non-higher up’s lives, and got to learn about his story.

Having served in the russian military before moving to the US, he was infuriated with how he was being treated by his country for being gay (He wasn’t explicitly out, but he would talk about his preferences), and left.

That was all Alba needed to hear. Military experience would be amazing in a soldier for a crime syndicate.

—————

Cynthia and Sparrow - Recruited at the same time, after Cynthia fleeing Mexico with her at the time girlfriend, and Sparrow had stuck arounud as protection.

Sparrow had been demonstrating frustration with a low-ranking Giorno who had attempted to threaten Cynthia.

(At the time, only Cynthia and Sparrow had each other, after previously mentioned events, since they kept in touch, and Cynthia had called him, basically sobbing, saying she needed help. A spoiled daddy’s girl would indeed have a hard time living on her own in a country she wasn’t technically a citizen of, and Sparrow took it upon himself to be her bodyguard- not to baby her, but to help out, it was an obligation, he felt, after all he’d helped with.)

Alba had stepped in, seeing the scuffle, obviously defending an associate, but she wasn’t quite pissed off, she was intrigued, and invited Cynthia and Sparrow to have a chat the next day.

Mostly, Alba just found Cynthia adorable, and needed her. But, it was a two-in-one package, with Sparrow.

Cynthia did most of the talking at that meeting, at the hideout, explaining Sparrow’s military background, her fleeing over the US/Mexico border to be with another girl who was just like her, a spoiled daddy’s girl who’s dad was the head of a crime syndicate in Mexico. Then, all the stuff that happened between her and Sparrow since being in the US after the breakup.

Man… Those sapphics REALLY are brutal… /j

Alba had made her decision even before, just needed to make sure both Cynthia and Sparrow were on the same page.

After that, Sparrow had taken a step back away from coddling Cynthia as much- she was under better protection, now.

Alba still doesn’t know much about Sparrow, other than that he served in the military, and she is the only one that really knows his actual name, since she had been given proof of his enlistment.

Alba also helped to give Cynthia and Sparrow paperwork that would make them legal citizens of Robloxia, and the US.

Hehehehehehe (And I interpret this as jojo poses broadly by the way I don’t know if there’s a specific one)

—————

Alba - Older woman, she doesn’t 100% know jjba, but she’ll hear the “pose” part and absolutely hit a pose, composed of pure aura.

—————

Valle - Despite being the highest ranked soldier, she’s relatively young. Having gotten her band lessons in as a middle schooler- she was with the weird kids all the time. So, she definitely knows one of the most popular animes out there, and she can hit a MEANNN jojo pose, one of the ones that needs a hell of a lot of flexibility

—————

Matteo - Has heard the name passively, and associates it broadly with “anime”, he was one of the homeschooled kids who wasn’t exactly taught a lot about pop culture, at least in his early days. But he’ll hear “pose” and just flex his biceps, asking if that’s good enough.

—————

Cynthia - Of course our girl knows what jjba is, not a huge fan of it but has seen a lot of stuff about it passively, and specifically hits Jolyne’s pose “Just because she’s so… it, y’know? Really like her design.”

—————

Sparrow - Would just look at the other person with the closest thing to utter confusion under his gaiter, and probably turn around, or ignore them. He’s heard about jjba passively from Cynthia, but that’s it.

—————

It’s the equivalent of a boy writing “No girls allowed” on their treehouse, but their treehouse is gang territory, and the “girls” are the enemy families

Most of the time, it’s a newbie to their gang, fun fact, with the Giornos, they have neck ties based on their ranking (See attached)

(Don’t really have it set, but the long ties are for the new members, and they go get shorter as one goes up in ranks, exceptions for Alba who just has hers for fashion, and for iTrapped, who is aligned for safety)

So, with that tie fact, at least for the giornos, the Sonnellinos can see, often, it’s a new member of the giornos that wanders into their territory, and the Sonnellinos will taunt the Giornos, by saying that, “You’ve got your leash, but where’s your owner?” (A jab at, they’re new members, and saying the long tie is like a leash, im the joke explainer yeah hi)

Surprisingly, if it’s a new member, they just stick with humiliating them, it’s the best way to learn, they certainly won’t be coming back.

If it’s a seasoned member, they may rough them up a bit, sure, unfair, but it’s an exception to the rule of not harming rival gang members— they were on enemy territory, and Alba’s gonna scold them when they come back.

No worries i havent ever given specifics

They all exist under the “Robloxia City” sort of environment, with the admins, hackers and everything. I portray it as like any city in real life, just with the nuances of robloxians, banning, terminating, etc.

Also, just like in lore, Chance won a lot of money from their rigged casino (possibly by means of cheating)

Chance aligned themselves with the Giornos, to keep Don from doing anything drastic, since if any rival crime family harms any of their members, things can escalate super quickly into an all out war.

its funny making headcanons of my own ocs despite them being ocs and so its canon but whatevvvssss, doing some of the others and not alba since she got her own post.

Valle- Finds it hilarious that some people can’t tell what gender she is at first glance. Identifies fully as a woman, just with a masculine presentation.

Rather serious about working out, ever since she’s been spending time with Matteo.

Matteo- As mentioned in the Giornos doc, he served in the military (US Marines) for at least eight years

Immigrated to the US from Germany. Technically had dual citizenship with both Russia and Germany, and spent his childhood living in each country during different seasons.

Very regimented naturally, which is why he finds it important to have time to dick around.

Cynthia- Born and raised in Mexico, her father being the leader of his own crime syndicate, so it’s a life she’s familiar with. Never was familiar with her mother since after Cynthia was born her mother essentially forced her father to raise Cynthia.

She fell in love with a girl from another (not even rival) crime syndicate, and her father dissapproved. The other girl (Kelsey Diamante) and her ran away to the US together (with an accomplice)

Kelsey met an… unfortunate fate mere months after making it to the US.

(Cynthia is so Y/N coded)

Sparrow- Was the accomplice who helped bring Cynthia and Kelsey through the Mexico/US border. He met the two by chance while they were already in the process of running away.

Keeps his identity a secret, not even because of people targeting him, but because he just doesn’t like people getting attached.

Served in the military (Mexican National Guard) for at least a decade

hehehe

She’s always been interested in fashion, after realizing her favorite thing to draw was indeed the clothes on the subjects bodies

She played the flute, and has her own special flute in the exact warm silver color she loves.

Secretly a bit of a fujoshi, swears she’s doing “important business stuff” on her computer.

Her and Don have some of the pettiest arguments ever. Her and Don were only children, and are highkey healing the inner need to have wanted a sibling growing up.

Does wish she could have the opposite genitalia, not to be a man, just to have a penis, is satisfied with a strapon just barely.

Alba and Cynthia’s dynamic is very much because Cynthia didn’t have prominent female figures in her life (and she also compensated with hyperfemininity)

Is honestly so happy that she’s a hot old woman, she’s always been a huge fucking sapphic (she’s just a pervert with men. Women in male dominated fields)
