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):
We plan to hold the uniqueness of the Russian Mafia in structure, history, and large focus on violence and fear. The goal would be to obtain a weapons racket that contains and sells only Russian and Soviet firearms. Host rare weapons auctions, shooting competitions, bare-knuckle fighting, and the celebration of many Russian cultural festivals along with many other types of roleplay. The use of branding and tattoos play a large part in the Russian Mafia as well, giving unique rewards to those who deserve them. Underground sports betting is another historical part of the Russian mafia. With our PK system it will be heavily RP with different /me's every time and other ways to send people back to the Gulag. We will try to find every possible way to remove people when the time comes. Trafficking I feel like could be experienced a lot more with big dealings that do happen we will have a dupe most likely of a area that would give it the atmosphere of it being a actual dealing. Gambling will also be another aspect in Roleplaying wise. We will do private sessions of Poker, Blackjack, Texas Holdem, and other more games. These sessions could be a RSVP or a invitation only. With meeting's as well I do plan to have a gambling session while the meeting is going on. To give it more of a professional atmosphere every time we will all agree to a game and the max bets before anything does happen.
THIS WILL BE A NON COMMUNIST PARTY AS WELL. 
As well this is not a full Jewish family we are mainly Russian but have Jewish beliefs.
Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above):
One of the main things that will keep people interested is the return and ability to truly be able to roleplay as a Russian. They have been gone for some time now and many people love the Russian RP and culture. There is much to explore when it comes to the Russian Mob and many ways to incorporate the true and real Russian Mob values into character and create interesting faction events related to the roleplay we want to push. A new faction with a returning and loved ethnicity. 

With event wise we will be doing festivals, masquerade party's, dances, and many more to keep the activity of the Russians going and also others as well. One event that I would like to do if this does get accepted is to have a church session about the entrance and welcoming to the new city with a new beginning. Also as well to celebrate with other Jewish family's on what's to come.

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):
   Murder Inc. was predominantly remembered for its creative and intricate PKs that we carried out from 2019-2021. Although it may seem as though there's only so much you can do surrounding a PK and bringing roleplay to it, I like to think our faction broke that boundary many times by providing well-thought-out and roleplay-rich killings. This would go as far as creating missing posters for our victims, staking out the victims for days prior to making them ‘disappear’, and more. Everything down to the forensic roleplay was thought out while carrying out a contract for the faction, leading every investigation against us to lead back to nothing due to the care put into training the shooters. Even during times of peace when other factions were not providing contracts for us to carry out, Murder Inc. would conduct manhunts, create maps of areas like the sewers for future knowledge and navigation, and other exercises that honed their abilities as a hitman.
Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above):
    Our faction has historically been a pillar of roleplay during its tenure on Diverge and MP. We have hosted events such as Horse racing, banquets, raffle drawings, and other similar ideas. Horse racing during its time picked up a lot of popularity in the community and I’m sure a lot of veteran players can recall betting on horses and making a lot of money. Our faction was also indirectly responsible for adding fishing to the server as when we first were introduced to the server, I explained to Pendred that I did not want an illegal racket for our faction. The compromise after a few weeks of work ended up being fishing and during that time, players had to sell their fish to members within Murder Inc. Our faction also owned the Jewelry store and during the time when all cosmestics were PAC3 based, Murder inc worked directly with staff of Mobsters Paradise to create pastebins of the jewelry we were creating in Blender and PAC3 to have them added as physical items in the server. This was a big stepping point for the community as it allowed players that had not donated to purchase and wear cosmetics like custom watches, chains, and more. We also took on other business endeavors such as a security firm that provided private security for high-profile events such as weddings and political debates (Heimdall Security). There are likely many more instances of the roleplay our faction has historically inspired and I hope to continue to do the same if given the platform to return with all of our friends. The main point that always maintained our activity during our tenures was the combat based events that were hosted such as manhunts and other ‘drills’ used to simulate the feelings of a PK and the responsibilities that follow them. During our faction’s peak sometime around late 2020, we had a large number of players always looking to join us simply because of the activity and the level of interest we carried throughout the community. This included other high-profile members of other factions that found more enjoyment in our faction and simply transferred over. I have no doubt in my mind if given the chance to grow as we were last time that history will in fact repeat itself in the regards of our factions growth. With a change of occupation in my real life and TONS of interests around the faction’s resurgence as of recently, I have a lot of big plans I would like to be able to show the community..

We aim to establish to be the most well-organized oil company with a new establishment in New York.

An existing multinational has its eyes on New York to set up its headquarters in New York. An investment firm by the name of Lehmann Investments acquired the necessary amount of shares to become one of the chair members of the Chevron Corporation. With myself knowing how hard it can be to start from the ground up, we want to encourage the average 'Joe' to work hard and to make the American Dream an actual fact. With a plethora of job opportunities and career options within the Chevron Corporation; we aim for only the best. Therefore, we have made this document to tell our story and deliver our promises to New  York and the people once we have been able to achieve a position within New York to only work harder for even more greatness.

Important note: My intention is to introduce an actual real-life existing corporation into the roleplay environment of Southside!

I just want to state for the record that I will try to minimize the amount of PKs that go on in my faction. I know what it's like to get pk'd and I know what it's like to pk someone neither of those feels good so trust me when I say I will make it an absolute last resort. 

Gaelic pride day's where members of the faction and members who are not a part of the faction can meet up and build connections. The setting can be in restaurants, on boats, or in the middle of the street. These will be paired with some sort of activity like football or paintball. 

I'm going to build an arcade bar instead of some generic restaurant. People will be able to buy tickets with in-game money and then use those tickets to play the various games I will add. Restaurants don't give much room for RP and I think an arcade with custom clothing or funny items as prizes would give everyone a good time.

TLDR: 
The Organisation 'Les Ripoux Association' / 'The LRA' will be an secret criminal organisation within my current legal business 'LR LLC' (Eventually will turn it into a corporation). 
The LRA will be very hush hush, and will have a main focus on espionage and the training and infiltration of spies within enemy factions as well as the police department and other government positions.

Organization Backstory (Min. of 250+ Words & any images): 

The origins of the original founders of the Mirabella Crime Family come from at the time the barren and underdeveloped island of Sicily. They were founded as a group of men who were a part of the Mirabella Clan and were prominent figures in the agricultural community. For centuries to come Sicily would grow and be occupied and held by various foreign nations however during this time Sicily began to see its first signs of modern development. Many coastal towns and villages became trading hubs for merchants navigating the Mediterranean and lemons became Sicily's primary export and cash crop. For the next hundred years Sicily would undergo many changes in leadership and would be conquered by many different foreign invaders, the Mirabella Clan however, stood the test of time and by now were a fairly wealthy trading clan that held a vast stake in the lemon industry. While on the surface it would seem that the Mirabella Clan was a legit trading tycoon, in reality they had made their vast fortune by selling weapons to Italian Rebels and by protecting other merchant clans from invading pirates. Throughout the 1800's Sicily was annexed into the unified kingdom of Italy however Sicily did not receive the aid and attention from the new government that the rest of the Italian Mainland did. The lack of government oversight led to bandits and thugs roaming the countryside stealing and harassing business owners. Without any official law enforcement and the distrust of any formal government the local farmers turned to their own sophisticated criminals to help protect their businesses. The Mirabella's were no exception to this new criminal industry having countless farms under their protection. Throughout the 1800's these new organized crime groups began to create many of their traditions that we see "La Cosa Nostra" and many of the crime families have today.

In the 1920's Marco Mirabella, the leader of the clan at the time decided to leave his home along with his close relatives, son's and a few local enforcers and embarked on a 5 week voyage to the United States for a better life and the American dream they would arrive at Ellis Island on September 28th 1929. The family would settle at Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. They would live along a fairly sized and thriving Italian American population. It didn't take long before the Mirabella's would return to business and indulge in their criminal lifestyle however now they had the large playground of New York city at their disposal. During this time the Mirabella's fought for control against the various American gangs at the time and various ups and downs at his endeavors. Around 1951 Marco Mirabella would grow ill leaving the family in the hands of his sons Manfredi Mirabella and Gianni Mirabella who sought to expand the organization to unheard of heights and expand into the other boroughs of New York. Their seats of power would soon transition to Brooklyn where they would find the most success but the most trouble.

While in the southside of Brooklyn the brothers began to look for control of the vast amounts of people and businesses available at their disposal. Southside's crime rates were growing higher than ever before and the two Mirabella brothers would have no issue paying off cops and corrupt politicians to turn a blind eye or two to certain crimes taking place around the city while also maintaining in the shadows and staying out of the spotlight while they continued to grow their wealth. Manfredi Mirabella would invest and purchase properties to launder money while Gianni Mirabella would begin to organize and establish their organization on the streets of southside gaining territory and keeping other gangs in their place and under their boot at all times. The two brothers were becoming a force to be reckoned with just a matter of time until someone would poke the bear.

Early 1980 
The earliest trace of ‘The Bandits’ would have been in early 1980, when Danish street racer, Lars Pedersen and a small group of ruffians would converge in the alleyways of Uptown Manhattan, and host street racing events, among  other criminal mischief, such as; fixing races, theft, and mugging at knife-point. They weren’t organized, nor did they consider themselves a gang at this point. 
1984
It wasn’t until September of 1984 when Lars would stumble across a man that would change the direction of the group. The man was Svørn Ingrid, Norwegian mechanic and recent immigrant. Svørn would go on to teach the group many useful methods of rigging races, illegal engine tuning, and most importantly; never losing a bet. 



Later that year, Svørn would take it upon himself to officially unite the Manhattan street racing scene, in what he would deem ‘The Bandits Car Club’. The scene changed immensely after this point. Every race was rigged, and The Bandits always came out on top. Some ways they ensured this were sabotage, such as slashing tires, pulling spark plugs, draining the oil, or offing the driver.
1985
The Bandits went from being an unorganized group of hooligans, to an organized gang. To most they were just considered a club for wrenchmonkees, but those fortunate enough to know the inner workings knew the true illegal nature of their bidding. To those unfortunate enough to meet their gruesome ways, they were never to be seen again.


The Bandits became such a big deal in the city, that they picked up some unwanted attention from the government. Specifically that of Deputy Chairman Paul Volcker. Volcker wanted to put a stop to the illegal scene growing beneath his city, so in an attempt to do so, he proposed a bill that would restrict citizens from buying such hot car upgrades, and in doing so, nearly killed The Bandits. 


On December 25th, 1985, Christmas Morning, Deputy Chairman Volcker’s family would wake up to Volcker’s deceased body lying in the foyer of their summer home. A note was left that read: “Merry Christmas, Volckers”. 
Present
The Volcker incident created a lot of unnecessary heat, so The Bandits thought it was best to flee turfs, and make for the South Side…]]> The Bandits
