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): The DeCavalcante Family is a faction designed to offer completely serious, immersive, and character-driver roleplay, laid in stone by real world history, and the Italian-American Experience of the 1980s. While our hierarchy is based on La Cosa Nostra, this isn't just some 'Mafia' faction. We aim to correctly portray an authentic, tight-knit group of hard working Italian American's who decided to join this life out of need, not want. A real community with different sets of culture, values,  and identity. who allegedly happen to be involved in organized crime.

 

Our faction is built around a small family from New Jersey, not New York and especially not Sicily. We're not glorifying the 'Mafia' or the 'Old Country' or by using exaggerated tropes. We're directly roleplaying second- and third generation Italian-Americans, sons of construction workers, delimen, and union guys who grew up together, bonded primarily by neighborhood loyalty, and slowly becoming part of something larger then the race themselves. This is a family, where people go to church, eat dinner together on Sundays, and call each others mothers 'ma'. That sense of family and tradition of Italian-American's trying to become more 'American' through trial and error. 

 

 

We're devoutly committed to cultural and community rp, as I said earlier, not just criminal RP. One of our long-term goals is to involve the small businesses or organizations made by players in our roleplay, such as Construction companies that can shut down area's for construction through RP, painting companies, and the Italian American Civil Rights League, creating interactions with local leaders in New York and the regional government. This allows us to emphasize more on themes that are often forgotten about, such as ethnic identity, police harassment, and pride, while directly giving the faction more depth and legitimacy.

 

We're not here to dominate South Side or start wars, directly or indirectly. At it's heart again, the DeCavalcante faction is about family, in every sense of that word. And we're ready to put in the time, discipline, and effort to make that something truly valuable for the server.

- (Next question for easier reading)

Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): Recruitment wise, we'd don't want to immediately make people an associate and have it be something that is earned over a small period of time. Being a hangaround for some time, doing small tasks like being a body guard for someone, driving affiliated members around, transporting items we need, and even buying things we need, before finally getting associated with our family.

Structure wise, we completely adhere to the traditional mafia hierarchy, but we treat every rank with realistic responsibility and weight. Promotions are based solely on IC merit, devout loyalty, and character development. We're not nepotistic, giving out ranks to every single one of our friends. Everything is earned ICly, and absolutely nothing is rushed. We're committed to long-term characters, realistic progression, and in-depth politics.

Our main goal, regardless of how much we're able to effect this, is to bring back serious RP. That means the basic's like /me commands, long form dialogue, and completely immersive interactions and scenarios that create tension, consequence, and atmosphere. We fully encourage our faction members and other people outside of the faction to portray believable characters, not invincible killers and street soldiers, but flawed, addicted, human individuals going through a challenging life. We stay in-character at all times and hold our members to strict high rp standards.

 

Plenty of cultural RP, remember we're portraying Italian-American men, not criminals (allegedly). Sunday church sessions, weekend dinners, family parties, and more of these regular social events. Encouraging other factions to join us in local south side events.

Note; I appreciate you reading this, I know it's a bit but we have a dedicated team ready to push this out ASAP if given the opportunity. Godbless, and thank you again.

The application is well-thought and the content is impressive. I think this faction would add a fun environment and flavor to the existing Italian roleplay. It would be cool to see the DeCavalcante family on the server.

[allenk]

+1 I like what i’m seeing

[alfe]

-1 hell nawh

[Pearce]

-1. 

 

There is already enough Italian Factions, adding more is just saturation unfortunately. Though the concept is written nicely, I don't see a point in adding more of what we already have.

 

Colombos, Altoviti, Luchesse, Cassanos, Gambino's, Bonnanos, that's six and more to add on. 

[Faith]

yeah why not +1

[tj21003]

+1 great app 

 

[Dick Grayson]

-1 great app just tired of the italians

[Alucard]

+1
Very detailed app and think they should be given a shot, but honestly should've gone for something more original than italians.

[Baselsamarah]

-1 same shit different pile. 
 

The 90s are coming and Black gangs will take over. 

[Jæcob ッ]

italians in a new york setting??? whaaaaat?! (+1)

[TrevorIsCringe]

-+ fine application, I just would prefer a non italian faction to be added
