Organization Backstory (Min. of 250+ Words & any images):
[Born in 1933 in East London, Ronnie and Reggie Kray loved to fight from the very first moment they could. Having joined their local boxing club, the brothers soon built up a reputation and during one friendly fight, Ronnie almost died from an injury inflicted by his brother. Brought up by their single mother, the boys were devoted to their family, maintaining particularly strong ties to their mother and grandfather.
While they endured their fair share of scuffles during childhood, it wasn’t until their later teenage years that they started to really gain a reputation for themselves. In the 1950s, the Krays were known for picking fights outside of the boxing ring, practicing their skills on real victims. Their fighting skills soon became so developed that the Krays were rumored to have never lost a professional match. Gaining money from their wins, the twins began to spend their cash on expensive suits and nightclubs, mingling with the rich and famous as they did so. Soon, they had bought their own snooker club in Bethnal Green and put up their services for extortion. After meeting a huge stretch of clientele, they began offering their services to some of the city’s most notorious gangs. As they got older, the Krays decided to take matters into their own hands. Using their grandfather as a figure of influence, the brothers started up their own gang, known as The Firm. Bosses of the crew, the twins were infamous for giving out favors to the local community and taking a violent hand against their enemies. Before long, they were racking up crimes of arson, robbery and hijacking, turning to various weapons to aid them on their excursions. They soon had a massive criminal empire under their wings, gaining notoriety across the country.While things were already bad for the twins, they were soon to become a whole lot worse. After his young bride killed herself, Reggie Kray became even more easily manipulated, giving into his brother’s violent whims. During his phase of depression, Reggie was convinced to kill a man who owed the Krays £1,500, letting other gang members take the fall. Despite this, the brothers continued to climb the social circles. At one point in their lives, they were known to be close to Frank Sinatra, hiring out a fleet of bodyguards to the singer.I feel like out organisation would add diversity to the server as we would be the only (to my knowledge) English faction. We are based off the Kray twins which where a notorious street gang. i feel like having a English faction would also draw in more players that are interested in the krays and being in a english faction. If our faction was to get accepted the language romani would be used which is a gypsy language that the Krays used.Thankyou for this opportunity and i hope to hear from you soon Adam

+1 although the krays were in london i think this would be a cool faction to add over the copy paste Italian crime family.

For our businesses, we are going to open an English fish and chip shop and run a boxing club where we can run paper views and hold events.
Reggie Kray,
Owner of Kray Company Limited.

It would make sense as the keys were in new york quite a bit and partied there, they also had business deals with local crime families, they were even going to purchase property there but then Ronald Kray was arrested and was found to be mentally insane and was thrown into a mental hospital until Reginald Kray manage to threaten the psychiatrist to let him out, But due to his illness, the crime family in new york didn't want to pursue business as Ronald Kray was a threat to the business.
And the timezone thing, we are always on when the server is at its most active, so timezone isn't a problem...
