Provide an example of the unique Roleplay your faction will bring to the server/what type of roleplay we can expect from your faction (Images/Videos Preferred):
I plan on bringing the full Eastern European and Slavic culture to the city. For roleplay interactions I would like to make it painstaking obvious who you are dealing with, whenever you are talking with any member of the Bratva. Our ethnicity will be on the forefront of every interaction. There will be a language requirement for someone to go from Associate (Shestyorka) to Senior Associate (Semyorka). Common greetings like: Hello (privyet), goodbye (dasvidaniya), and thank you (spasiba), will be required for their promotion so that each member can make meaningful interactions for their faction. Slavic culture and current events will be important for the faction as well. The Cold War was in full-swing in America and our faction could bring back "The Red Scare" and other paranoia about Russians. As for our criminal activities and enterprises, we will be as ruthless as the actual Russian Mafias. There is almost as much information on the Russian Mafia as the Italian mafias. Information is extremely available on public areas, especially Wikipedia. The unique faction structure, intense criminal code (Thieves-in-law), and the vast pop culture references will allow us to create endless scenarios and create good rp anywhere we go. For more serious matters we could be brutal cutthroats and for more casual times we could be gopniks dressed in tracksuits sitting on a street corner smoking, singing, and dancing. I believe that if we were added, there would be a much more slavic presence to the RP environment on the server, which is something Diverge has lacked for a bit. The focus would never be solely on killing or grinding, there is just too many opportunities that we can make the best of. Whatever racket and property we are afforded we will use to our advantage and won't take it for granted.

Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above):
I think I made some general examples of what we would be doing on the daily but there is a lot that can be done to interest our faction members and provide events on the server. I believe it goes without saying that there is no better or awful party goer than a drunk Russian. It would be easier to state a specialty or certain kind of event if I knew what property we were going to have but I'll give examples of businesses and events regardless.
Inside the tight alleyways of a hideout, there could easily be a planned car meet that would surely upset the neighboring residents and local authorities due to the modified exhausts and loud music.
A convenient store or shopfront could provide an excellent vendor spot for ethnic cuisine or merchandise and could easily double as a lounge spot.
A warehouse or industrial location has too many opportunities to even list out fully. A theatre, a paintball arena, a museum, a parkour course, and basically anything you can imagine can take place in the large properties.
A townhouse with proper commerce licensing certainly can make a great business whether it's a restaurant or shop.
I believe that creating an innovative and creative faction would allow for our faction members to just have fun being themselves on the server. People would make friendships with each other and just enjoy playing the same server together. Our roleplay can certainly liven up any scenario at any location as a Slavic faction. The attitude of our faction alone would allow for more creative RP interactions and encounters.

Discord roles "Spectator" and "Interested" will be given until the faction is accepted/denied. They can see everything except HC chats. This will hopefully allow people to express interest and gain more info about the faction while it is still in the application process. After the application process the roles will be deleted and you will have to get roles from #role-request.
