Describe your activity on the server:
I am a fairly active server member, a lot of which is devoted to roleplay. My time zone is CST, and though my school life has been relatively busy as of lately, my summer break will soon begin next week. However, on Saturdays, I’m more often than not available until 5:00-7:00 PM CST. Sundays can vary, from 12:00 PM CST to 4:00 PM CST. However, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I am usually available past 2:00 PM CST at the latest. There are semi-occasional exceptions to this, as I am oftentimes required to provide assistance to my family and friends. Of all the criticisms I have received, availability and activity has rarely been one of them; if needed by my gang, I can at least manage several (6-10 hours) on weekdays.

Racketeering to the Extreme
One of the core objectives of any mafia or organized crime syndicate is monetary influence, forming one of the pillars in which the Geheimer Verband wishes to manipulate Karakura’s criminal underworld. The chain of events will start with a transgression of etiquette from a member of the Geheimer Verband, and the owner of the shop themselves. The member of the Geheimer Verband will get into a verbal dispute with one of the shopkeeper’s employees, in which the shopkeeper will side with their employee. The shopkeeper will attempt to make the Geheimer Verband member leave, causing the member of the Geheimer Verband to lash out, physically assaulting the employee and/or shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper and/or employee will consequently threaten legal action for trespassing and assault, prompting the Geheimer Verband to take action against the shop. Seeing the opportunity to spread the Verband’s influence, the Direktor will order the members to strap notes to bricks, rocks, and other blunt objects signed by a rival (if another gang leader consents), or nonexistent gang. These objects will be hurled at the shop’s windows overnight, threatening the shopkeeper to not take legal action any further.
Feeling that the situation will only escalate if a legal course of action is taken, the shopkeeper feels helpless and without a way to free themselves of the situation. The Geheimer Verband will step in, offering to provide ‘protection services’ to the shopkeeper in exchange for money. The shopkeeper initially refuses, instead choosing to hire security to watch the shop overnight. The security would be jumped by the soldiers of the Geheimer Verband, or even openly attacked in broad daylight during a shop opening, which prompts the shopkeeper to reconsider the Verband’s offer.
For a negotiable period of time, the Geheimer Verband will have a secure racket over this shop. However, it may not last forever. There will be various ways in which the racket can be challenged, delving into the common ideas of “turf wars” that the crime faction wishes to see occur. If a rival gang leader consents to their gang being framed for the window smashing by the Geheimer Verband, they could potentially stage an actual raid against the shop, causing a large brawl to break out between that gang and the Geheimer Verband. The Karakura Police Department may also become involved, disbanding the racket entirely after a noir investigation into the shop’s conduct. If the Geheimer Verband loses control of the racket at any point, either to another gang or to KPD disbanding the racket, their response will be to utterly smash, and inflict as much damage as possible to the shop and its items as retribution for the financial loss.
What is the name of your gang?:
Geheimer Verband
What are the themes/morals/beliefs/motives of your gang?:
The first, and foremost core value of the Geheimer Verband is secrecy. The name Geheimer Verband roughly translates to “Secret Association'', in fact, meaning secrecy is embedded in the concept of the gang. If this principle is violated by a member, they are at the mercy of the Direktor himself. Merely prying into the identities of other members without explicit consent is in fact grounds for removal or punishment. However, despite their cutthroat nature regarding secrecy, the Geheimer Verband is not entirely ruthless. They adhere to a strict code as to who is subject to their retribution, sparing those who are under the age of 18 from any gang affiliated verdicts, unless that individual actively harms or endangers a member of the Verband directly.
The Geheimer Verband has a unique way of exerting influence or authority over the Karakura overworld and underworld alike, summarized as financial, criminal, and social authority. The Löwe family serves as the legitimate business front of the Geheimer Verband, only known as such by the five Direktors themselves, dabbling in tailoring and legitimate alcohol sales. Their financial success is seen as key to their dream of a hegemonic order. The Verband also believes in being presentable to the public, firmly enforcing the idea of respecting Japanese, German, and foreign beliefs, culture, and institutions alike to the watchful eye. In order to ensure the social acceptance of its members, their strict code of secrecy ensures that the Geheimer Verband will never, in any capacity, be tied to the social and financial endeavors of its ranks.
Beneath the presentable reputation of the Löwe family, the Geheimer Verband is willing to happily dispatch any who defy their collective judgment. Although the Geheimer Verband views cooperating with a government official preferable to dispatching one, their second manner of dealings with opposition is discreet, sophisticated, and uncompromising.
The Geheimer Verband’s overarching theme is inspired by the Ringvereine, a group of organized crime syndicates that operated in early-20th century Germany. The Ringvereine, like the Geheimer Verband, was a German equivalent to the Chicago mafia or other crime syndicates at the time. Due to the circumstances in which the Geheimer Verband arose, it views itself as a second coming of the “golden age”, or a “rebirth” for the many members who loyally follow the Direktor. The borderline finatical belief in this so-called “second coming” has created a psyche that elevates the Verband as a judge, jury, and executioner of its verdicts. Hence, the logo of the Verband features a set of scales, representing the judgment of the Verband; meanwhile the sword featured represents their means of authority, and the phoenix represents their rebirth as criminals.
What differs your gang from the rest of the unverified gang roster and other applicants?:
There is not a single “mafia” on the unverified gang roster at this very moment, nor has there ever been a “German mafia” that has emerged as a prominent applicant. That, and that alone establishes the theme of the Geheimer Verband from its contemporaries. However, the difference is not just surface level. The Geheimer Verband is not present for chaos or for upheaval; instead, the Geheimer Verband is aggressively self interested in restoring a sense of order in Karakura, centralized around itself. The Geheimer Verband is also extremely elusive, despite its attempts to spread its name as a prominent association. Creating a list of profiled, confirmed members of the Geheimer Verband is, ideally, next to to outright impossible, setting itself apart from high profile gangs that wear identifiable attires, or even commit crimes unmasked. The Geheimer Verband is also distinct from a common delinquent or violent street gang, oftentimes dressing in formal attires in the overworld and underworld alike. Aside from their absolute elusiveness, and simply being hard to pinpoint by authorities and rivals, the Geheimer Verband also conducts itself in an extremely sophisticated manner. Sacred grounds are to never be violated, and vandalism outside of sprays is genuinely frowned upon. Japanese and foreign traditions are held at an equal esteem as German ones, and disrespecting Japanese culture or grounds is considered reason for punishment. Also, while some gangs may seek to destroy Karakura’s institutions, barriers or rivals, the Geheimer Verband would rather subjugate or weaponize Karakura’s institutions, find use of tricky obstacles rather than demolishing them, and establish protection rackets for profit over rivals, instead of aiming for just disbandment. The Geheimer Verband considers itself a practitioner of “gunboat diplomacy”, hoping to minimize the practical use of force against established, foreign entities or institutions, and instead forming a favorable, profitable relationship for the Geheimer Verband through intimidation, or brief, though safe, explosions of aggression towards other organized bodies.
What reputation does the gang uphold in-character at the moment? Where are they most actively present?:
The Geheimer Verband is viewed as extremely elusive. Though it is not necessarily “secret” in the sense that it is not widely known, it is “secret” in the sense that drawing connections from the Geheimer Verband in the underworld, to the overworld, is no trifling matter. The Geheimer Verband is oftentimes displayed as extremely confident, almost arrogant, for how brazenly it displays its name without the fear of being caught. However, it seems that the Geheimer Verband has worked to obtain and retain such confidence, as there are few existing leads into its ranks. The Verband is oftentimes seen in elegant, sophisticated suits that are not identifiable. The Verband generally tries to forward its reputation as an organized, disciplined crime syndicate ushering in a new age for all criminals. In this sense, the Verband has painted its visage as an unstoppable, inevitable force of nature that is destined to rise.
In the overworld, members of the Geheimer Verband are rarely distinguishable from your average day citizen. The Löwe family, which is the legitimate front of the Geheimer Verband, has little to no trace to the gang affiliated scene. Contrarily, members of the Geheimer Verband attempt to remain polite, composed, and cordial in most interactions that take place in the public eye. This muddles the line between unmasked sophistication and masked violence, two sides of the opposite coin necessary to achieve the dreams of the Verband.
The members of the Verband are not seen as lawless anarchists who are here for chaos; in fact, it is the opposite. The Geheimer Verband is seen as an attempt to create a new status quo, carefully, and meticulously crafted by a group of likeminded, though unidentified individual minds. Staying true to their elusive approach to crime, the Geheimer Verband generally resort to unknown or discreet locations, such as the Ruins or Riverside turf, for trainings. These serve as the training grounds for their recruits and soldiers. However, true to their lavish lifestyles, it is extremely common for the Geheimer Verband to host low-profile, formal meetings inside penthouses owned by their members. These pents are scattered across Karakura, each one decorated ornately to the refined tastes of the Verband.

Secrecy is not cowardice, but a tool in the Geheimer Verband’s arsenal. The Geheimer Verband are an elusive syndicate of like minded individuals, championing a revival of the criminal golden age. Emerging from the shadows to enforce their judgment upon Karakura, the Verband seeks to build an empire across the underworld. Though these criminals dress as gentlemen, they display the uncompromising adamancy of fanatical diehards. The Geheimer Verband chooses its battles wisely, refraining from revealing the true extent of their ever expanding clutches. In many cases, the Geheimer Verband will deliberately strike at its enemies indirectly, long before a direct approach is made to seal their retribution. Believing that an empire is nothing without subjects to rule over, Verband sets its eyes towards protection rackets, financial influence, and government institutions to heighten its boundaries. The German origins of the Geheimer Verband make their syndicate easily distinguishable from its contemporaries, signifying a strong cultural value within its roster. The flaming wings of their rebirth of the golden age fanned, and the scales of their imperious judgment dictating their conquest, the Geheimer Verband brandishes its blade before any who dare to challenge their rulings.
