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 feel like an example of what will make this faction unique, is the fact that it is ethnically mediterranian just like all of the italian factions, but different. Different cultural aesthetic, paired with a different moral compass via culture, will contrast/pair well in it's own way. We aim to still be mafia geared, but we want to look differently, act differently, and carry ourselves differently. Greek culture prides itself on being very open and friendly, and we want to carry that into RP as well. Our motives are purely business oriented, with plenty of room for giggles and laughs hopefully to be shared with everyone and my friends. We just don't want to involve ourselves with the whole red vs blue direction the city currently seems to be going in. We just want to grind, make money, and make more friends along the way, while still having some thrill of being in a faction, no loyalties to anyone starting out. I'm not saying we eventually won't be allied to anyone, because eventually we'll be needing alliances, but we want to see how we can build bridges to everyone through RP (I already have some of those) and just overall see where this goes. It'll be refreshing for many people who want a break from being in other factions, (I know a few of those) and it'll be a breath of fresh air for those people, and myself included. I anticipate people wanting to get in a new faction simply because there is room for growth immediately, and they also would want to contribute to it's wellbeing, as I have made friendships with a multitude of people ic, and ooc, from almost every faction.
Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): I can think of a few things, such as a makeshift olympics like ancient greeks used to hold. We will encourage everyone to attend in city. Which will entail boxing, wrestling, atlas stone carries, and maybe powerlifitng meets via makeshift gym dupe. These are all ideas we've had. I wanted to see if this faction application will get accepted first before we commit time to making the dupes and whatnot.
Organization Backstory (Min. of 250+ Words & any images): The Velentzas Crime Family, having originated in Greece and operated out of Greece since the early 50's and 60's, sought to create a sister sect of their business in the United States in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. They wanted to do this, to follow their mediterrianian counter parts such as the sicilians, and italians did, as the Greeks also had a significant hand in their successes in their respective old countries. They heard of their successes in the new country and it sparked a new wave of ideas for the Velentzas Crime Family. With increased attention from greek law enforcement, and greek government agencies alike, they sought a new beginning and possibly a permenant solution to their problems back in the old country. Before they made this very risky move, the Greek Don's and other executives of the greek crime families, came to the unanimous descision to send someone they knew could be trusted with the task of creating a landing pad in preparation for the migration of their criminal enterprises, and being closer to their allies, who had money, power, and easy business. That someone happened to be a respected and trusted cousin of the Velentzas Don, Apollo. His role in the family before this consideration, was merely organizing crews and being a friendly face/peacekeeper with the other organized crime families located back in the old country. His ability to read people, his perception, his bravery, and his diplomatic approaches to hairy situations, has proven to others that if there is anyone fit to get a feel for the massive hostile and bustling city of New York, it was him. He accepted this challenge as he understood that it meant the future for his way of life, and his families way of life with no hesitation. Organizing a crew, he slowly sent people to the United States to start getting settled in, as well as to get a feel for what the crime environment was like compared to back home. As from here on out, it was up to him to provide a safe haven for those he cared about and understood back home.
