whosmiya_ [Applying on]
Miyasuccc [Alt]
Describe your activity on the server:
As of right now, I am on my college vacation so I am free every day from 8pm to 6am my time. I do work every alternate day so on those days I will only be able to log on from 12am onwards. My timezone may be horrible for SRP but my horrible sleep schedule is perfect for SRP.
Specify your Discord username and if you have a microphone:
I have a microphone yes, whosmiyaur is my discord.
Specify your country of origin and time zone:
I am from the little red dot, Singapore. My timezone is GMT+8
What are your motivations in applying for the black market dealer role?
My motivations? Well, in all honestly I considered not even applying. But I decided to just try it out, if I get in - I get in. I have been involved in the crime scene of SRP since the day I joined. I've been apart of gangs, BMDA, Fight Club, Bounty Hunting. Essentially every single 'job' that I could join that did not require driving, I've joined. I've loved the crime faction since day one. I'm applying for the BMD role because I've already done everything I could do as a normal crime RPer and GangRPer. I've been apart of street gangs, organized gangs, led a gang to street [twice] and organized. I've partaken in many fights with fight club, I've dug for intel in Bounty Hunting, I've done openings with BMDs - literally, I have done it all. Being a BMD would cross off my to-do list with the crime community. I know how things work, I know how to handle people and crazy situations.
Another reason apart from just completing my to-do list, is that being a BMD makes sense for my character. He has grown up in crime, he has led his gang through a lot and now? I think it's about time for him to step to the top. His IC reasoning? 'To stab every single BMD and come out on top.'
My character has a massive ego so obviously he will be gunning to be at the very top.
What helps you to stand out from other applicants & what can you uniquely provide to the team?
My experience would definitely help me stand out. I mean, I've practically done it all. Go against BMD, work with BMD, go against other gangs. Essentially every single interaction you can think of when it comes to crime, bmds and gangs? I've done. [Minus the driving because I cannot drive.] I know how to run things, I know sewers [to some extent], I know the rules. My experience has helped me become the person I am and I believe that that is more than enough to help me stand out. Also, I love this faction and I want to help make it better. I want to push for more interactions with gangs. I want to make BMD more than just selling weapons, hosting underground fights, searching for intel and killing weapon resellers. I believe that I have the ability to make the BMD faction [in lack of a better word] better.
From an OOC stand point, I believe that I can bring fresh and unique ideas to the team. I am brimming with ideas when it comes to the crime faction and I would love to share them with the rest of the team.
From an IC stand point? I bring drama. The character that I am applying with, is honestly an asshole. He's going to think that he's better than everyone - other dealers included. And he will stop at nothing to prove that. If you want an interesting character who will do more than just nod his head and do whatever he's told? My character is that guy. He will bring drama, his shitty jokes, his occasional flirts and more.
What previous experience do you have in working with a team?
IC
Fight Club:
I was in fightclub for [I think] about a year and a half? In fight club, I held the role of a fighter. What did that entail? Sometimes we would do team battles - I try to coordinate my action with my partners. And sometimes, you gotta coordinate with your opponent too. Fight club is all about entertainment, a boring fight would not hold the attention of the viewers. For example, I had a fight with Lobsters character and we had to do quite a bit of coordination! From Fight Club, I’ve learnt how to coordinate with people.
Gang Roleplay:
I’ve been in quite a number of gangs - though the most prominent one would be Black Dragons and Parabellum. In Black Dragons, I got to work with so many amazing people. I learnt how to prepare trainings from it and BD led me to create Parabellum. From Parabellum, I’ve gotten the opportunity to work with so many people. From my own team of HUs to other gangs. I’ve learnt to work together with people I know and people I’ve never spoken to before.
Reporter:
I’m a news higherup! I currently lead Whizfeed and being a HU requires me to coordinate with the faction lead and other HUs to come up with events, ways to get people more involved, ways to improve the News Faction as a whole!
OOC
I am currently a Film student. I’ve worked on sets with other students and even professionals in the field. Being a film student has taught me so much about working with others - afterall, there is a whole crew involved with a film. I’ve worked in groups of 4 to even 13. I know how to pull my weight and work as a teammate or even a leader.
What suggestions do you have to help better the crime faction?
GangRP:
I want to push for more interactions for GangRP. As of right now, BMDs and Gangs honestly do not do much with each other. BMDs are just the suppliers of weapons for the silly thugs.
I think it’d be cool if BMDs did more than just sell weapons. Maybe each dealer could be in charge of a turf, they could watch over it. They would get to roleplay with different gangs and watch how they interact. Dealers are supposed to be this ‘End game’ boss type person. There isn’t any fear that comes with being a dealer. Maybe we should change that.
We could keep the turf allocation to just the dealers so no one would know which dealer they’d have to suck up to when they visit the turf.
Crime Clinic:
Bring Crime Clinic back. Yes yes, I know there has been a LOT of discussion regarding CC. I know back when it was a thing, people would constantly abuse the fact that there is no recovery. Here’s my fix. Instead of a 3 day recovery that they’d get for going to EMS, we reduce it to one day. The players can still play their character but they cannot engage in combat for that day.
Also, I’d open applications for CC. Back when it was open, only staff members led it. If I could bring it back, I’d open applications to the public but there would be requirements. They would have to either - be in ems OR was in ems and they have to be adults. Because let’s face it, if I had to go to some shady doctor in the sewers, the last thing I would want to see is some 18 year old who looks a little too trigger happy with a scalpel in their hands. For players who do not have the adult tag, I would suggest that we hire helpers for the clinicians. What would they do? Drag the poor soul to the clinic, watch over the procedures so that when they have an adult tag, they could potentially be a clinician.
Weapon/Item additions:
I would like to add a burner phone item to the catalogue. It would be priced at 50k and it would have 3 uses.
Why?
I feel like the burner phone would add to the roleplay aspect. Maybe your character has a lore roleplay coming up where their family gets kidnapped. A burner phone would come in handy for that as the number which would appear on the callers phone would be a new one.
This item would make things a lot more immersive!
Are you familiar with all rules pertaining to weapon profiles, combat, permissions, and player conduct on the server?
Yes
Are you familiar with that if you leave the black market at any point, the black market lead will have permanent kill permissions on your character?
Yes
Are you familiar with that if your character(s) is/are killed or permanently arrested twice, you will be removed from the black market?
Yes
Are you familiar with that you cannot reveal any out-of-character plans or potential addition to the black market to others?
Yes

In-Character (IC) Section
•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•
Full Legal Name:
Hattori would enter the room, his dress shoes clicking on the ground with every step he took.
Click. Click. Click.
Then came the annoying screech of the chair being dragged out. With a soft huff, Hattori sat himself down on the metal chair - already leaning back with his right leg crossed over his left. Someone has made themselves at home.
“ Ya’ don’t know my name? Shocker. It seems like everyone already knows that.”
A soft chuckle escaped the male as he’d lean forward, his fingers interlocking as he’d clear his throat.
“Kaoru. Kaoru Jin-Ryuk Hattori.”
A smile.
Criminal Alias:
Kaoru tapped his prosthetic finger against the desk. Now which alias should he go with? He’s gone by many names. Calamity, Curse, Catalyst. Running his tongue along his canines, he’d lull his head to the side. Ah. There it is. The perfect alias.
“Call me… Ruin.’
Age & Occupation: (Note: if you become a black market dealer, you will be permitted the Adult role)
“God, at least treat me to a drink before asking for my age.”
He chuckled, finding himself very funny. Digging into the chest pocket of his suit, he’d pull out his ID.
“33 and I am a senior reporter. Head of Whizfeed”
Gender & Marital Status:
On his ring finger, you’d notice that there was an indentation. One of a ring. His skin was much paler around the indentation, clearly, when he had a ring he didn’t take it off. But.. where was his ring?
A sour look flashed across his face for a second. As if reminiscing about his previous marriages.
“I’m a man. Divorced.. Twice. But seeing someone right now.”
That was painful to admit.
Ethnicity & Race:
Kaoru stared ahead, playing with his tongue stud as he’d let out an exaggerated sigh.
“God, do you really need to know this much about me..? Damn bro.”
He’d flip over his ID, using his index finger to point at the ethnicity box.
“I’m mixed. Half Japanese, Half Russian. Does that answer your question?”
Known Languages:
Itching the back of his neck, Kaoru would lean back against the chair. Tilting his head to stare up at the ceiling for a moment. God, this was taking forever. With another sigh, he’d readjust his posture, sitting up straight with a practiced smile.
“I speak Japanese, Russian, Spanish and JSL.”
Former Associations/Occupations:
Once again, Kaoru would dig through his pockets for a while before he’d pull an old badge. One that read ‘Flag Bearing Division Co-Captain CALAMITY’. The badge seemed to be in pristine condition - maybe it was kept somewhere and protected?
Letting out a soft sigh, he’d place the badge down.
“As for associations wise, I was the former flag bearing co-captain back in BD. Then I was in a gang called… Bishamonten? I think? I was there for only a week. It didn’t suit me. Same with Sasori-Za. Didn’t live up to my expectations. Mmm.. I was a fight club fighter for quite a while. Maybe you’ve seen one of my fights aye? Ah yes, I was a bounty hunter too. Maybe you’ve heard of me through a scuffle I had with one of your dealers.”
A pause. Former occupations.. Hm. He barely held a job in all honesty.
“I was a cashier at Yona-Yona for a bit? Did a cosplay gig but after a while I just stopped. The retail and customer service life did not suit me.”
Highest Level of Education:
This made Kaoru press his lips into a thin line. Unfortunately, he did not have any qualifications. All he had was his diploma when he graduated high school. He didn’t even finish college…
“I have a diploma from when I graduated high school. Nothing else. School life ain’t for me.”
Physical/Mental Ailments: (If inapplicable, put N/A)
An audible ‘tsk’ would be heard. Sore subject, perhaps? Kaoru would look away, he never liked admitting there was something wrong with him.
Kaoru suffers from chronic depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. At least, these are the ones which are documented. He’s like a pokemon trainer, collecting all these mental ailments like they were badges. He also suffers from borderline personality disorder.
On the physical side? I wish things were better. But unfortunately, his body is failing him just as his mind is. He suffers from late stage lupus. He hasn’t reached the fatal stage (yet) but if you look close enough, you’d notice. He bruises easily, often suffers from coughing fits that would end in him having to cover his mouth to hide the blood. His lungs are failing and he requires surgery every few months to drain them out.
Known Family Members: (If inapplicable, put N/A)
Another scowl. God. He had too many family members. Kaoru would be visibly annoyed at that question but alas, he’d answer truthfully.
“I have three kids. Kyo - my youngest. Mirae, the middle child and Jackson. Kyo is biological while Mirae and Jackson, I’ve taken under my wing.”
A small smile could be seen. He loved talking about his children. They may be problematic but they were his pride and joy.
Siblings:
Korin Hattori [Dead]
Riyuki Hattori [Alive]
Adair Hattori [Unknown]
Evangeline Hattori [Unknown]
Parental like figures:
Calico O. Sullivan [Alive]
Felix J.R Stark [Alive]
Nieces and nephews:

[There's way too many for me to remember, I’ve listed out the important ones.]
Describe your character's appearance to the greatest detail:
Kaoru stands at 6’0. For a man of that height and living this life, you’d expect him to be at least muscular. I mean, all the other gang leads seem to have their body kept in good shape no? Unfortunately, Kaoru is severely underweight. His sunken cheeks, his boney wrists - everything about this man just screams unhealthy. He has long platinum blond hair that reaches down to his waist. His hair was like the one thing on his body that he loved. He is often seen wearing his favorite red silk top.Did the silk top cover anything? Absolutely not. I mean - come on! He has to uphold his title as the biggest hoe in town! His eye, once vibrant and full of life, has dimmed. From a bright crystal blue to a dull Glaucous. His hair is often styled in a way to hide his facial features, more specifically - his missing eye and the scar that travels down the side of his right. This man is covered in scars from head to toe. A gash on his face, another on his shoulder, missing pieces of skin on his legs. Each a story to be told. Of course, for a man who has lived most of his life in the underground - he’d be missing an arm. His left arm was completely replaced by a prosthetic. I wonder why? Looking at you Mirage.
Describe your character's personality to the greatest detail:
Kaoru is a rather complicated man. On the surface, he’s a dimwit and a hoe. A man who flirts with anyone in his line of sight, a man who takes nothing seriously. If you asked around town about kaoru, they’d probably tell you the same thing. ‘He’s just a hoe, nothing else.’ And well, to some extent they aren’t wrong. It’s been a long time since Kaoru had fully let himself be vulnerable with anyone. He has convinced himself that if anyone truly knew the real him? They’d leave. They’d look at him the way he looks at himself. So? He masks it. He hides his insecurities under his silly jokes, his half hearted flirts, his stupid grin. But in the middle of the night, when no one is around him, his mask shatters. Under all that, Kaoru is at his core - broken. Yes, this seems cliche but look at his life. Look at how many people failed him. Look at how many people who promised to stay, leave. Kaoru grew up alone - despite having multiple siblings. He has spent his life trying to shape himself into someone that people will look at and think to themselves ‘Hey. I want to be with that guy.’ In the midst of shaping himself to conform to how he wants others to see him, he lost himself. He alters his personality according to anyone he meets. He wants to be loved. He wants to be seen. But it never happened.
He craved comfort. He never wanted to lead a gang and be some guy who murders others. He wanted to grow old in a nice cottage, have a few kids, pancakes for breakfast on sundays, a nice garden to tend to. But he just can’t. A monster doesn’t deserve a happy ending.
He knows that he’s messed up. He knows. Kaoru tries his best albeit his best is questionable. He knows when he is drowning and he knows how to spot others who are drowning. He wants to save people from feeling how he feels.
Describe your character's backstory to the greatest detail: (200+ words minimum)
Growing up was hell for him, with a crazy father who wants to raise a mini army. He was forced into training, relentless training. Dimitri had no morales. Putting his own kids through constant training, taking away their childhood. Kaoru unfortunately was the black sheep of the Hattori family. He absolutely hated the training, he hated every part of his life. He just wanted to sit by the river and watch the fishes swim. Was that too much to ask for? His childhood was filled with mainly pain, Dimitri didn’t take a liking to his son's blatant rebellion. Bruises littered his body but for some reason, the beatings never got to him. He didn’t care if he was hurt, bruises faded away anyways.
He remained alone for as long as he could remember, distancing himself from his siblings. The kid spent his time by the river, watching as the fishes swam. He unfortunately grew up to be a bitter soul, always envious of others. ‘Why could they have whatever they wanted? It isn’t fair.’ He hated being around others, their stupid smiles as they talked about how their parents brought them out over the weekends. He hated them. He hated the joy others had. If he couldn’t have it, why should others? He would remain this bitter until he met a certain someone, a boy by the name of ‘Alexander’. They met online, chatted daily. Alex came from a dysfunctional home. The two found comfort in each other. It wasn’t a surprise that Kaoru eventually ran away, running to Alex.
Alex was the first of many horrible partners Kaoru had to encounter. He treated Kaoru like absolute garbage and Kaoru being the idiot that he was, he stayed. He stayed till he couldn’t tolerate it anymore.
It was a rainy day. The rain was tapping against the glass violently. Kaoru could barely hear himself think when Alex stormed in - drunk. As always. The argument did not take long to brew. It started with a small comment, and then it escalated. But this time was different. Kaoru finally fought back. It all happened in a blur, one second Kaoru was backed against the counter in the kitchen and next? He was stood over Alexanders dead body as blood covered his body. What did he do? He ran. He returned to Karakura.
His return to Karakura was.. Something. He found himself in Black Dragons with his older siblings. How? God knows. He was never close with them but Black Dragons somehow made the Hattoris reunite. He finally got to know his older siblings and he enjoyed his time with them! Until it all crumbled apart.
The next few years were a blur. Kaoru left karakura for a while, returned only to mess with people and he somehow finds himself a father. And then all of a sudden he’s married and leading a gang? Married to Ciaran none the less. Ciaran Crombie was an old friend from Black Dragons. His marriage with Ciaran started out as a joke but soon, Kaoru found himself really liking Ciaran. It was clear to the outsiders that Ciaran never returned his feelings. I mean, which husband would willingly break his partners nose? Which loving husband would throw a phone at his partner's face? Those thirteen years of marriage was horrible. Kaoru kept breaking himself in hopes that Ciaran would give him just a bit of love. And well, that never came.
Ciaran left.
He just picked up his things and left like Kaoru did not matter. Well, he didn’t matter to Ciaran so I guess that was true.
After Ciaran, Kaoru started dating Zane Zennix. And well, it did not last long. They got married and Zane left. Again.
And now.. He’s dating Andreas Asogi. He has his doubts but maybe, just maybe. Andreas won’t leave.
Describe an interaction that your character may have as a black market dealer: (This can be anything — a weapon deal, an event they may be involved in, or maybe an interaction with a gang)
“Sir, I believe you know why you’re here.”
A voice spoke. Wonder where we are?
The corners of his lips curled into a condescending grin as he slowly raised his head to look at the detective. Tapping the edge of his handcuffs against the metal table, Kaoru would look around the room. His eye landed on the two way glass that separated him and other detectives.
“Hmm.. I don’t have a clue honestly. Maybe I jaywalked?”
He chuckled, crossing his right leg over his left before he’d turn his attention back to the detective that sat right across him. The room was silent, apart from the occasional hum that came from the bright fluorescent light that shone above them. This wasn’t his first rodeo. Everyone knew what he was. But that didn’t matter, did it? In the court of law, ones intuition isn’t enough to get someone. No one had concrete proof. Maybe that was why the detectives seem a little too frustrated. They knew. They knew that they had no concrete proof to land this man in jail where he belonged. A chuckle escaped him, he controlled this interrogation.
“We’ve gotten some reports that you deal weapons.”
A dramatic gasp, if this was some sit com, you’d be hearing the little ‘DUN DUN DUN’ audio track played. Kaoru kept his smug grin, lulling his head to the side as he’d check the detective's badge.
“Me? Dealing weapons? I would never!”
He laughed, rolling his eye. He’d once again tap his handcuffs against the table. Sucking in a breath of air, he’d let out a sigh.
“Officer.. C’mon! Look at little ol’ me. I can barely hold myself up! Are you sure you got the right guy?”
Another laugh. God, he could barely take himself seriously. Everyone knew of his record. They know that he was aggressive and violent. But c’mon. That was ages ago. Surely he changed!! He’s just a loving father and cat owner now!! The officer let out a scoff, you could tell he did not believe kaoru one bit. But what could he do?
“Anyways.”
Kaoru once again spoke up, offering the officer a charming smile.
“Are you by chance single? Y’know, I’ve always wondered what it was like to be with a cop.”
Is he seriously doing this? In the middle of an interrogation? Seriously? God, this man needs help. Visible irritation would be seen on the poor detective's face. The poor guy, he just worked there. He wasn’t getting paid enough for this. Placing the file onto the table, he’d ignore Kaoru's question as he flipped to a page with a picture. A picture of Kaoru, unmasked, handing a bat to someone.
“Then care to explain what you were doing in the forest handing someone a bat?”
Leaning forward, Kaoru would narrow his eye at the image of him handing the bat over. Running his tongue against the back of his front teeth, he’d let out a hum.
“They were playing baseball and it rolled over to me. Is it a crime to play baseball?”
He asked, returning his attention to the officer.
“I mean! I was just bein’ nice y’know? God forbid a man walk through the forest and hand over a fallen baseball bat!”
The detective remained silent. Is he being serious right now? Kaoru took advantage of the awkward silence to continue his yap.
“Dude, speakin’ of baseball. Have you seen the twilight movies? Yeah. The kids were pullin’ moves like in that movie, the whole flipping the bat over and stuff. It was sick man.”
“Anyways like. You really should’ve seen the moves they were pullin’, I bet they’re gonna represent karakura in the olympics one day.”
“That’s enough. Thank you for your cooperation, you’re free to go.”
The detective seemed to be in a hurry to get this nutcase out of his interrogation office. He’d quickly uncuff Kaoru and within seconds, Kaoru got off the chair and rubbed his wrists.
“God, my wrists are sore man. Maybe next time don’t tighten the cuffs so much. I mean- Look! There are indents..”
He was whining now oh god.
“..Just.. get out please.”
Describe any other additional information that is notable in considering your character for the role of a black market dealer: (If inapplicable, put N/A)
NA!
