Night at the Museum: Redesigning Characters 2/4(?)

Character profile: Al "Scarface" "Snorky" Capone

This character is based off of and takes inspiration from the historical Al Capone.

Real Name: Alphonse "Al" Gabriel Capone

Nickname and Meaning: Scarface - He earned this nickname because of the three scars on the left side of his face, two on his cheek and one on his neck. Embarrassed by them, Al hates the nickname and never shared the real story of how he got them, siting that he actually got them fighting in WWI.

Snorky - Snorky was slang for sharp dresser. Al loved expensive, flashy clothes. Only close friends used it for him

Age: 26 (January 17, 1899)

Time Period: America's Prohibition in the 1920s, around mid-1925 Johnny Torrio, Al's boss, stepped down and let Al take over the Outfit.

Family: James "Jimmy" Vincenzo Capone, Raffaele "Ralph" James Capone, and Salvador "Frank" Capone + Three younger brothers and one sister that wasn't brought back.

(Headcanons under the cut)

Based on/taken from History:

Can play Banjo and Mandolin, prefers Mandolin

involved in the Five Points Gang with mobster John Torrio as a kid. John Torrio mentored him and gave him the role as the Chicago Mob leader

Only got into the mob for the money to care for his family

Can go from 1 to 10 very quickly

Played in a semi-pro team in Brooklyn as a kid/teen with Ralph. They were known as the Al Capone Stars

+ Intelligent + Generous + Confident - Overdramatic - Attention seeker - Petty

My own silly headcanons:

A little twerp, Al doesn’t respect authority

Feels that he’s better than Ivan and Napoleon because he’s from a newer generation and knows more.

“Okay boomer” vibes

Acts like he hates Napoleon and Ivan (mostly Napoleon), but likes them secretly. They are two men in history that did grand things- in fact he liked learning about Napoleon in school! Al just thinks he had a too big of a head.

Only has one tone of voice- really loud

Swears every other word

He’s a basically still a kid, one with too much power. Al knows his way around the mob, he’s been in it since he was around 15, but now he’s been given power over the Outfit and hasn’t come down off that high yet of being in charge.

Hes happy to have Frank back, they were four years apart in age and were extremely close. He’s missed Frank the year he’s been dead

Was extremely tempted to play baseball using the Einstein’s as balls. He doesn’t like them.

On that note, Al is slightly unnerved around the miniatures. He doesn’t seem to know what to do with himself around them.

He likes sitting at the bench in middle of the hall of miniatures just watching them. Al liked Cowboys and liked playing cowboys and robbers with his brothers as a kid. Some part of him wishes he could be part of their group.

After finding the Sinatra songs made after Al died, he’s constantly found humming them and making up his own lyrics to go along with them. He likes That’s Life the best.

Al somehow acquires a camcorder and films the whole night that they’re trying to take over the world, making himself a big star and part of the plan. He wants that stardom, he loved it when he was alive – he was just getting a part of it when he was alive

Really loves making up nicknames and short stories for people around him. One of his favorite things to do with Ralph is people-watch.

Al: I don’t like Napoleon! He’s a fuckin’.. fuckin’ bitch! A short ass goblin! Ralph: Yeah.. goblin’ that dick. Frank: MMHHEHEHAHAHAHAHAAH!!! Al: What.

Makes jokes about Napoleon and his boys being gay because he's frightened about questioning his own sexuality. He knows he likes women, but he's got that good ol' "1910's Christian beat the gay away" ideal still stuck in his head. It takes a bit for Al to realize he's bi

Loves giving gifts

He likes having at least one of his brothers by his side. Historically it's been Ralph, but during the events that take place during NATM 2, Al kept Frank close because he was frightened of loosing him again.

Frank, Ralph, Napoleon

¿Quién fue Al Capone y que hizo?

El 25 de enero de 1947 murió Al Capone, el mafioso que consiguió convertirse en el dueño de Chicago y en uno de los gánsteres más famosos de toda la historia criminal de Norteamérica y del mundo. El contrabandista falleció en su mansión de Miami Beach después de una larga enfermedad.

¿Cómo cayó Al Capone?

Su caída se produjo en 1931, cuando fue condenado a 11 años de prisión por el Gobierno Federal de los Estados Unidos por el cargo de evasión de impuestos, siendo enviado a la prisión de Alcatraz. El 25 de enero de 1947 murió de un paro cardíaco después de un derrame cerebral.

¿Qué delitos cometió Al Capone?

Esto a pesar del "imperio del crímen" que tenía bajo su control: "las apuestas, la prostitución, la venta ilegal de licor, los sobornos, los narcóticos, robos, 'negocios de protección' y asesinato" en el Chicago de 1929 eran de Capone, según un reporte del FBI.

¿Cuál era el negocio de Al Capone?

Sus negocios eran mucho más vastos que la venta ilegal de alcohol. Si bien así consolidó su imperio, también se ocupaba de los demás rubros con los que los mafiosos recaudaban: juego clandestino, protección y prostitución. El ABC del crimen organizado. Capone era bueno para los negocios.

¿Quién traiciono a Al Capone?

Francesco Raffaele Nitto (27 de enero de 1886 – 19 de marzo de 1943), más conocido como Frank Nitti o Frank "The Enforcer" Nitti (Frank "El ejecutor" Nitti, en español), apodo que recibía por obligar con violencia a obedecer sus órdenes, fue un gánster italoestadounidense.

¿Quién logro atrapar a Al Capone?

En 1931 Ness juntó las pruebas necesarias para que Capone fuera acusado de 21 casos de evasión fiscal por un monto millonario en dólares e innumerables violaciones a la ley seca. El 17 de octubre fue declarado culpable de cinco de los 22 cargos y condenado a 11 años de prisión.

¿Por qué metieron a la cárcel a Al Capone?

Tal día como hoy, 91 años atrás, el más temido capo de la mafia Alphonse Gabriel Capone, más conocido como Al Capone o Scarface, fue condenado a 11 años de prisión y una multa de 50.000 dólares por evasión de impuestos.

¿Donde mataron a Al Capone?

Ingresó a la penitenciaría de Atlanta el 4 de mayo de 1932, pero fue trasladado a la nueva prisión de Alcatraz, conocida como “La Roca”, en agosto de 1934.

¿Cómo lavaba dinero Al Capone?

Al Capone, para ocultar los beneficios obtenidos por el contrabando de alcohol, compró una cadena de lavanderías industriales para hoteles, restaurantes y hospitales que se llamaban “Sanitary Cleaning Shop” y daban servicio a toda la zona del gran Chicago.

¿Cuántos años vivio Al Capone?

Se dice que ordenó matar en su corta vida de 48 años a más de 500 personas. Pero jamás se lo pudo condenar por ello. Porque este hombre al que llamaban Scarface, que en inglés significa “cara cortada”, por un visible tajo que le cruzaba su mejilla, nunca dejó una prueba concreta de los crímenes que instigaba a cometer.

¿Cuándo salió Al Capone de Alcatraz?

1939

Cuando llegó a Alcatraz, Al Capone tenía sífilis, la que se agravó, y el prisionero comenzó a enloquecer. En enero de 1939 fue liberado de Alcatraz, pero pasó varios meses en otras cárceles y luego recibió un tratamiento médico en Baltimore.

[justforbooks]

Alphonse Gabriel Capone was born on January 17, 1899, sometimes known by the nickname "Scarface", was an American gangster and businessman who attained notoriety during the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit. His seven-year reign as a crime boss ended when he went to prison at the age of 33.

Capone was born in New York City in 1899 to Italian immigrant parents. He joined the Five Points Gang as a teenager and became a bouncer in organized crime premises such as brothels. In his early twenties, he moved to Chicago and became a bodyguard and trusted factotum for Johnny Torrio, head of a criminal syndicate that illegally supplied alcohol—the forerunner of the Outfit—and was politically protected through the Unione Siciliana. A conflict with the North Side Gang was instrumental in Capone's rise and fall. Torrio went into retirement after North Side gunmen almost killed him, handing control to Capone. Capone expanded the bootlegging business through increasingly violent means, but his mutually profitable relationships with mayor William Hale Thompson and the city's police meant he seemed safe from law enforcement.

Capone apparently reveled in attention, such as the cheers from spectators when he appeared at ball games. He made donations to various charities and was viewed by many as a "modern-day Robin Hood". However, the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, in which seven gang rivals were murdered in broad daylight, damaged the public image of Chicago and Capone, leading influential citizens to demand government action and newspapers to dub Capone "Public Enemy No.1".

The federal authorities became intent on jailing Capone and charged him with 22 counts of tax evasion. He was convicted of five counts in 1931. During a highly publicized case, the judge admitted as evidence Capone's admissions of his income and unpaid taxes, made during prior (and ultimately abortive) negotiations to pay the government taxes he owed. He was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in federal prison. After conviction, he replaced his defense team with experts in tax law, and his grounds for appeal were strengthened by a Supreme Court ruling, but his appeal ultimately failed. Capone showed signs of neurosyphilis early in his sentence, and became increasingly debilitated before being released after almost eight years of incarceration. On January 25, 1947, he died of cardiac arrest after suffering a stroke.

Alphonse Gabriel Capone

- Every time the date of his brother’s death comes up Al becomes unusually quiet, agitated, and teary-eyed.

- His boys are perceptive and quick enough to pick up on any changes in his attitude or his mood.

- With the help of his S/O and the boys, they keep Al in a nicer and quieter area of the Museum where the other exhibits won’t bother them and they give him his space.

- Once the tears start flowing then thats when things get serious, the boys sit around and stop whatever it was that they where doing and just lend their ears and words of support to their boss, as they all feel for him and understand all too well what it’s like to loose someone who you love.

- His S/O will just hold him and stroke the back of his head, and run their fingers through their hair and hum soft lullabies that they know as Al sobs onto them.

- If the S/O deems that he could use the extra space alone, they’ll gently ask the boys if it’ll be ok if they give them some space, to which they’ll happily oblige and leave the two alone.

- Most likely, if they can, they’ll go guard the general area and not let anyone who they know could cause some discomfort to their boss.

- You tell him that his feelings are valid and that it’s ok to cry and mourn the death of their brother Frank.

- You let him get all of his built up pain loose

- Once he’s calmed down and is reduced to sniffles, you’ll tell him that what would be better to do on the date of his death-anniversary, would be to remember all the good times he had with his brother.

- You reassure him plenty and tell him that it’s better this way because you’re sure (although you’ve never met them) that his brother wouldn’t want to see Al upset.

- He agrees with you and does what you say

- You also recommend the idea that if there was anything that his brother liked to do that the whole group could do it together too, to make him happier and allow him to remember the happier times.

- After the talk, he's a lot better and gives you a bear hug and a kiss of the cheek and thanks you for being so sweet to him and for helping him out.

- His voice will still be a bit shaky and hoarse from crying so he’ll ask you if you can round-up his boys.

- Once the gang’s all together he’ll definitely ask for a group hug, and thank everyone (including you!) for being there for him when he needed them the most.

- In the future, the death-anniversaries are much better and filled with joy as Al spends them with his S/O and the boys remembering the happier times he had with his brother, telling them the ridiculous stuff they’d get into as boys and how’d they would get on their mother’s nerves.

Night at the Museum: Redesigning Characters 1/4(?)

Character profile: Frank "Noses" Capone

This character is based off of and takes inspiration from the historical Frank Capone.

Real Name: Salvatore "Frank" Capone

Nickname and Meaning: Noses - He got this nickname from being inquisitive and being unafraid to stick his nose into other people's business, even if it gets him into trouble.

Age: 28 (July 16, 1895)

Time Period: Frank is from America's Prohibition in the 1920s, to be exact, hes from April 1st, 1924 Chicago, just before he and a group of Mafioso's went to the polling station near the Western Electric Hawthorn plant.

Family: James "Jimmy" Vincenzo Capone, Raffaele "Ralph" James Capone, and Alphonse "Al" Gabriel Capone + Three younger brothers and one sister that wasn't brought back.

(Headcanons under the cut)

Based on/taken from History:

involved in the Five Points Gang with mobster John Torrio as a kid

Rumored to be queer because he never had an open interest in women/having sex with women like his brothers

Had a kid??? But then took it away from his fiancé??

Nickname was Noses?

Smartest of the eldest Capones

Killed when 70 plain clothes police officers arrived at W 22nd St & S Cicero Ave, Cicero, IL 60804 on April 1st, 1924. He didn’t have time to pull his gun out and was shot so many times, two other bystanders were killed/injured

described as mild-mannered, intelligent and immaculately-dressed

Thought to have ordered 500 deaths since joining the Chicago outfit (1919-1921 to 1924)

“you never get no talk back from a corpse”

+ Intelligent + Social + Hard-working - Quick to anger - Unstable moods

My own silly headcanons:

Can be level-headed, but usually his anger gets the best of him.

His presence calms Al down a lot. His brother really loves him and missed Frank. Frank reminds Al of simpler times when they’d run errands for their old boss Torrio… now Al’s boss.

Represented by clover/clubs. The club symbol represents the summer season and the earth element. The club suit in cards indicates youth, a phase when a person focuses on education, and recklessness.

Frank has matching pins with Al, Jimmy, and Ralph, each brother taking a playing card suit. The brothers made them together with old scrap metal they found in the Navy yard.

Sticks his nose where it doesn’t belong. He likes putting himself in the middle of gossip circles. When he’s not purposefully antagonizing Napoleon to get a reaction, they get along really well because of this.

Wiggles his nose when he thinks hard

Tallest of the Capone brothers (6’1)

Broken out of the museum in search of the closest liquor store out of pure boredom. They tried to pay with greyscale $50s and promptly got kicked out.

A little bit of a sadist.

Gets very violent when he’s upset and enjoys it. Frank doesn’t usually feel bad about his previous actions

Frank: My furby died in my arms when I was a child Ivan: I’m sorry to hear that..? Frank, grinning and joking slightly: Don’t be. I’ve never felt more like a god.

He’d be on Booktok

Like his brothers, Frank will flirt with anyone. Unlike his brothers, Frank is mostly doing it to tease and have fun.

Sucker for hallmark movies

Jerma vibes

His ears turn red when he lies (credit to @frombottlealleytotheharbor for this one)

Frank’s Tommy is a replica whereas his Smith & Wesson Model 10 is from a photo/cutout. His Tommy doesn’t work at all, but his handgun can- he just doesn’t have any bullets.

The Model 10 is named Peggy and the Tommy is Doll

….. don’t call him Frankie unless your family.

Jimmy Consentini belongs to @all-yn-oween. I had to draw him and Frank together because (I think) they both have two-piece suits.

Plain clothes Napoleon is inspired by this and something I have scheduled.

Al, Ralph, Napoleon
