Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Being a made man in la cosa nostra is one of the highest honors. For a gangster, being made is what they have been waiting for their entire life, it changes their whole perspective. Being made into a family means that you are trusted and loyal to join the family, and as such, must be respected by any and all people. Being made involves a secret ceremony in which an associate transforms into a man of honor. People who disrespect a made man will face dire consequences because to insult a made man is like insulting the whole cosa nostra. Being part of the mafia, "this thing of ours" isn't just like a job, its a way of life. Members must eat, talk, act, and live our way of life. This also means taking shit from no one, as well as treating others in the family just like how you would treat your brother or your father; with the utmost respect and understanding. You are part of a brotherhood, "una fratellanza." Being a made man means you must treat those around you fairly, regardless of background and social status, but those deemed unworthy turn into the prey, the enemies in which we destroy to become stronger. To be a made man in the Luprano family, you must be a male, strong headed, willing to murder for the family, even the governor of the island if that is what is required. Conservative values are a must to say the least, women that are respectful are respected back and tolerated, disrespectful women are dealt with the same as men; the family always comes before women. You must be of Italian descent (roleplay atleast) and have traditional Italian values. We are old school and are keeping the traditions of the past alive and well, slightly incorporating some new beliefs and motives, but never straying from whats in our hearts. There is no tolerance of cowards or new school gangster culture. If you are chosen to become a made man you must take the oath of omertà, the oath of silence. You must vow to always be loyal to the family and never betray us, until your dying breath. Omertà and our values are what make us what we are. Those privileged and worthy enough to join enter a secret society, one that will never end, never be defiled, never be destroyed. This is La cosa nostra.
