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

The Start

The Karabakh Syndicate was formed during the early but significant 70’s during the Armenian waves of immigration which many went to the sunny and prosperous state of California, but many also went to New York City -The City of the Empire State Building- where dreams either go to flourish and blossom or die like roadkill. 

The Karabakh Syndicate was led by key figures such as Ghazaros Karabakh -The Don-, Adam Bernard -Consigliere- and last but not least Ivan Victor - The Boss -. These key men after facing hardship in the gritty streets of NYC’s neighborhoods, were facing the challenge of finding work and trying to get past the socio-economic hardship and discrimination placed on them and due this made them seek solidarity and protection in their humble community.

In NYC particularly in the neighborhood of Suburbia their influence grew as they welcomed more and more Armenian immigrants and also defectors of the diminishing Soviet Union like Ivan Victor a former KGB Senior. Offering these immigrants financial and stability support to get them started for their new lives in the big apple but also setting the stage for the syndicates rise to power.

Initial Activities

As the Karabakh Syndicate increased so was the need for an increase of revenue due to this the Syndicate took up small illegal jobs such as loan sharking, small scale extortion on small vulnerable businesses and protection rackets for Armenian business owners to keep their community safe. But as time went along so was the demand for more and more and more money due to this large-scale operations such as money laundering, import export operations to smuggle Eastern European weapons over to supply gang warfare and Armenian protection. But as the crackdown of the late 70’s came then came the need for legal fronts such as boxing events, restaurants and firearm shops.

Cultural Ties 

The Karabakh Syndicate network extends beyond its criminal enterprise and has strong ties to being Orthodox Christian and providing insight into Christianity and their way of life to outsiders to spread the word of God in hopes of improving the less fortunate of New York City from hosting crowdfunding events and charitable events. But as they were a criminal organization this was used to launder illicit funds to clean money to ensure the syndicates money was clean and usable by the key figures of the syndicate. The syndicate also hoped to open an Orthodox Church to use the ability to launder even more money due to the legal loopholes in it.

Conclusion 

The Karabakh Syndicate continues to operate and thrive today in 1988. In New York Southside. Expanding their legal ventures while they corrupt the integrity of the Department of Justice and law enforcement officers to protect their network. And with their army of lawyers who turn a blind eye to their wrongdoing for profit they somehow manage to narrowly evades the Justice system of our great nation which highlights the flaws of our nation

I'm neutral. The boxing event has been done and is being done by an entirely other faction applicant who specializes in events overall, and I feel like boxing is just overdone at this point. The religious meetings seem cool, but you didn't really go into depth on what those are about and how they work. I mean, important meetings and giving employees money is just not anything.

There's a lot you could put in 6 paragraphs, but I feel as though reading the backstory was boring. Your idea of keeping people interested is basically just religious events and boxing matches. Meetings, giving people money to hire, and crew deals aren't anything special, that's just the basics of running a faction. As that section states, "Reference your unique RP from the question above." and the only thing I really get out of that from this is church ceremonies and boxing matches. Religious type events aren't really something that would keep people engaged by the time you get to the third one. People would get tired of standing in a self storage unit pretty quick. Regarding boxing events, I'm pretty sure people already do those. Once again, that would just get boring after the third one. It's really just punching people in the end. While the pictures you included aren't too bad from a photography standpoint, I'm a little confused. First, is this a syndicate or crime family, and why is the Italian flag present in your picture? Regarding the boxing matches, your dupe looks cool, but boxing isn't new or particularly interesting in the long run. I do believe that the playtime could be a little higher aswell. 3 weeks is a lot of time, but learning everything you need to be a successful boss takes time and I don't think you could have really acquired the experience needed for this. Gonna be a -1 from me chat.
