Organization Backstory (Min. of 250+ Words & any images):
Kazama Watanabe, born in the early 1960s in the gritty streets of Tokyo's Shinjuku district, grew up in a world of poverty, violence and crime. His father, a small-time crook, was frequently in and out of prison, leaving Kazama and his mother to fend for themselves. From a young age, Kazama learned to be street-smart and resourceful in order to survive.
In his teenage years, Kazama fell in with a local street gang known as the Shinjuku Boys. The gang was involved in all sorts of illegal activities, from extortion to drug trafficking, and Kazama quickly rose through the ranks. He was a natural leader, and his intelligence and strategic thinking made him a valuable asset to the gang.
However, Kazama had bigger ambitions than just being a street thug. He saw the potential for the Shinjuku Boys to become something much more powerful and influential. He wanted to turn the gang into a fully-fledged yakuza organization, and he began to lay the groundwork for this transformation.
He started by reaching out to other gangs and criminal organizations, forming alliances and building a network of contacts. He also began to recruit new members, carefully selecting individuals who were loyal, capable, and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed.
Kazama also began to establish new ways to control and manipulate the market for illegal activities like drugs and weapons trafficking, and he was not afraid to use violence and intimidation to protect his interests. He was known to be ruthless with anyone who dared to cross him or disobey his orders.
By the early 1980s, Kazama had succeeded in turning the Shinjuku Boys into a powerful and feared yakuza organization, which he named The Watanabe-Gumi. He had built a network of loyal followers, and his empire was expanding rapidly.
However, his success had not gone unnoticed by other yakuza groups, and he soon found himself facing competition from rival gangs. Kazama was not one to back down from a fight, and he used all his intelligence and strategic thinking to defend his empire and expand his territory.
In the late 1980s, Kazama had the opportunity to expand his empire to Southside New York, where the Italian mafia had a strong presence. He saw this as an opportunity to prove his worth and gain more influence and power.
Kazama and his organization moved to New York, where he continued to use his cunning, intelligence and ruthless tactics to build his empire and gain control of the criminal underworld. He also invested in legitimate businesses to diversify his revenue streams and gain more influence in the city.
Despite facing many challenges, Kazama Watanabe managed to establish himself as one of the most powerful and feared yakuza bosses in New York City. His empire was vast, and his influence was felt throughout the city. He had built a reputation for being a strategic thinker, a ruthless leader, and a man to be feared and respected.
In short, Kazama Watanabe formed his yakuza, The Watanabe-Gumi, through his own ambition, cunning, and strategic thinking, starting as a street thug and rising to the top of the criminal underworld, both in Japan and the United States, by forming alliances, diversifying his revenue streams and using violence and intimidation to protect his interests.]

-1 not too bad of an app, juist feel its a bit generic, you also use the word 'Kazama' 32 times in the backstory.
RE: The Watanabe-Gumi - BaIIzInYoTonsils - 01-29-2023
Rewrote it
RE: The Watanabe-Gumi - akimbocross - 01-29-2023
Alright, it isn’t as generic with the rewrite, so even though it definitely isn’t perfect, I want to +1 because I’d like to see what they would get to in the server.
RE: The Watanabe-Gumi - BaIIzInYoTonsils - 01-30-2023
Ignore my app, this server is still shitty as before, playerbase still hasn't changed, community is as toxic as ever and will most likely remain this way till diverge gets pushed out by a better server, or it shuts down.
