Five years in prison may not seem like that much, but it felt like eternity to you. You may have gotten a light sentence thanks to some skilled maneuvering, but that's still five years in prison. You don't particularly care about whether or not you performed the crime that got you here, but you do care about the person that got you here. You really didn't think they would have betrayed you like this, but they did in the end.
You spent quite a bit of time with them, making money in crime together, but just as you were getting ready to stop. Just as you were getting ready to truly enjoy what you earned, this happened. And in a flash, five years were gone like that.
But now you're standing at the exit of the prison, and before you start enacting your revenge, you're going to need to remember a few things.

What's your name?
What was your accused crime?
What was your specialty before you were imprisoned?
What's their name?
What kind of person are they?
You look behind you. Through the open door in the room you just left, you see a calendar. What year is it?

Spoiler: GM Note/Game Explanation (click to show/hide)

It's a freeform narrative (in non-buzzwords: There's a beginning and an end. What you do in between is up to you) SG.
It's about crime.
It's also a roll-based game! Meaning the amount of plot armor you have here is drastically reduced compared to my other SGs!

EDIT: I edited out the year minimum, but be warned that I'm not exactly the authority on the 20th century.

Julius Caesar
Roman Emperor

*triggered*

Gaius Julius Caesar was dictator, damn it. And if you are talking about his nephew/adoptive son, Octavianus Julius Caesar, though he is the first monarch since the end of the monarchy way earlier, was called Augustus and Princeps, though the period he inaugurated is called the Principate. Dominate is when emperors as you think of them reigned.

/historian rant

With THAT out of the way, kudos for the creativity.

I swear to god.

I may accept the roman stuff, but it does require me to completely change what I was planning. If it gets more votes than the rest of the regular suggestions combined, I'll probably go with it. Otherwise, I'm likely going to go with the most-supported regular one.

You are Hans Erikson. You look at your surroundings - a pitiful apartment and a small amount of cash is all that's left of your glory days. Through the small window you can see most of the town. The town of Valley Creek is oddly named. The surroundings don't even remotely resemble a valley and if there ever was a creek, it's long gone by now. It's fairly small and the apartment building is the tallest around, allowing you to see the town without the obtrusions of other taller buildings.

You take stock of your surroundings once again. In the expected hiding spot you found a pistol, 3 magazines (with 7 rounds each), and $15, but that's it. It won't be enough to carry you through your personal mission, but it'll start you off. You did some looking into them. It looks like they used your former assets and influence while you were in prison to elevate themselves up into the echelons of criminal society.

In other words, they're untouchable. But you'll find a way to remedy that in due time. For now, you need to re-familiarize yourself with your occupation. What do you do?

Spoiler: GM Note (click to show/hide)

Prepare to marvel at my lack of knowledge about the 1920s and beyond! Seriously. I was expecting anywhere from 1970 and up, but late 1920s wasn't something I really considered. It's not that hard to do in general because the "mechanics" don't really change and the important stuff is pretty well known, like the prohibition. Bad part about this is that you may notice me leaning a bit on 20's stereotypes.
I will try to consider history, but don't be surprised by any (gross) inaccuracies you see. And some stuff is fiction, like towns and most characters. This is also set in the U.S. if you didn't already notice. And I'm taking inflation into account for money things.

Oh, and I made some assumptions regarding Johnny Jahonny since the descriptor used for them was a bit vague. Feel free to make corrections.
