Pleasure Dome NPCs

The NPCs of Pleasure Dome Here you can find additional details on the NPC dancers, staff and customers that help make our favorite seedy little strip club in Los Angeles come alive. Management Joey Ruggiero / Joey Batter Although the main assistant manager at Pleasure Dome is a made man from Antonio's organization, recent events have distanced him a little more from the criminal aspects. The loss of his brother to that part of the life created such backlash from his aged mother that Joey Ruggiero relented and sought out a role less prone to violence. Though he had once been quite active in those aspects, including gaining the nickname 'Joey Batter' for his use of a baseball bat in dealing with someone troubling the organization, he had always managed to stay clean of the Law. This made him a primo front man for Antonio at Pleasure Dome. With Joey's decision to stay away from the openly criminal activities, things that need a clean name on them such as liquor licenses, have been put in Joey's name. Working at a strip club is perfect for Joey. He has an eye for women and he is good at putting pressure on others to make sure the club wrings every cent possible out of their girls. Joey isn't above using his position of authority to gain other benefits from his employees. He indulges the right amount of violence from the bouncers and the right attitude from the girls. He isn't exactly a favorite of the dancers, but neither is he outright hated. Walking that line of annoying boss, yet he protects the girls too and they realize that. Dancers Aurora Aurora is known for her energetic air and her mastery of the stripper pole. Her routines are high energy and she performs a lot of acrobatics on the pole. Her skill as a dancer is enough one could picture her dancing at a higher profile club than Pleasure Dome. Though a number of poor choices and a drug dependency have brought her to the notorious downtown club as she reached her mid-thirties. In the back room she tends to be kind of private around the other dancers, not sharing many opinions unless asked. Dallas Dallas came to Los Angeles at the age of 22 from Oklahoma looking to become a movie star. Now she's midway through her thirties, but her lack of success hasn't beaten down her desire. Along the way she turned to elective surgery, trying to enhance her way into movie and television roles. The result is an fake blond stripper that results more on her endowments than talent to earn her money. She is jealous of other dancers who might cut into her regulars or her money, and might even resort to underhanded behavior. Her favorite costumes play off the cowboy theme, such as white hats, boots, and star-shaped nipple covers. Jazmine Jazmine is slow to open up to the other dancers, but she has been at Pleasure Dome long enough that a few things are known about her. She used to be married and has a son that she lost custody of, in part do to her dancing for a living. The Persian woman is in her late twenties, and tends to use her phone in the backroom rather than engage in conversation. She has a good following, and seems immune to Dallas' scornful stares when a new regular goes with Middle Eastern delight over blond cowgirl. Jean Jean is the nearest thing to a den mother at Pleasure Dome. She's nice to new girls, which many of the dancers are not, offering advice and doing her best to shelter them from women like Dallas. Don't kiss the customers. Don't let them do what you're not comfortable with. You are in control. All of those are pieces of advice she gives to a new girl. Jean herself is starting to feel too old for the job, but it pays the bills and she doesn't have any thing better to do. Once she was quite the beauty, and she still is attractive as she's gotten older. Drinking is starting to take its toll on her though, and lately she's had a few shifts that she's shown up drunk for. Bouncers Griffen The money from being a bouncer doesn't hurt. But mostly Griffen enjoys the job so he can look at naked girls and beat the crap out of people without being arrested for it. Someone getting expelled from the club is just an opportunity for him to get in a few blows, as long as he doesn't take it so far that the cops would cause trouble for Antonio. He does take care of the dancers, though oggles them openly and isn't above trying to get a little extra-curricular participation from them in the store room if he's able. He can be crude towards the girls in ways he wouldn't stand for a customer doing. Customers Greasy Roger Roger is a regular at the club. Unfortunately the somewhat oily nature of his hair and his unpleasant features have earned him the private nickname 'Greasy Roger' among most of the staff. He tends to leer a lot in a way that can be disconcerting for a newer dancer. He has so far proved mostly harmless. But his hands are often clammy and he could afford to spend a little more time on personal hygiene in areas beyond just his hair. Making him a less preferred option for the dancers. But still, sometimes a girl needs her money and there's no on else. Say what you will about Roger, but he's there most every night, whether it's slow or packed. He was part of a tech start up that was sold for enough money he has a comfortable living and can afford a modest amount of cash to spend on the girls to get what he isn't getting elsewhere in his life. Ray-Ray Ray-Ray. Ray-Ray, or Raymond K Hessel, loves cocaine and cocaine loves Ray-Ray. He deals some on the side, though after a talking-to by the bouncers he refrains from that activity at the Club. He's a regular though, often high as he supports the working girls at the Pleasure Dome. He also has been sidelining in selling the girls' private cell numbers, Snapchat, OnlyFans and other media links to interested buyers - if ever someone got a hold of a dancer's details, his grubby little paws were on the deal, most likely. Ray-Ray doesn't like being called out and is prone to both histrionics as well as recriminations against his accusers. Sooner or later, something bad may happen to Ray-Ray.
