Describe your activity on the server:
I am a very active member of the Roleplay Hub community, and of course that means I’m extremely active in SRP! I’m currently one of the leadership roles in the Unverified Gang Black Dragons and a part of the female college football team! Overall, I’d rate my activity as a solid 8 as I’m on whenever I can; however, I am a full-time student. With that being said I'm mostly on during the afternoon or at night, usually averaging 5-8 hours and even more on the weekends.. (Typically over 15 hours depending on how much work I need to get done on the game and how long I stay up. . .) Even if I'm not on, as long as I'm not in school or out of my house, all it takes is one ping/dm and I can basically get on whenever!
As I'm adding onto my application after I made it to pending, there has been a change in my activity. I’m still on summer break so I don’t have much to do. However, although I’m active, I can’t make an exact schedule as the times I’m online depend on my sleep schedule. Like I mentioned before, I'm on the College Female football team. That didn't change, however, my position in GangRP did. Recently, I've become the lead of the now Verified Gang Black Dragons. If anything I'm now more active than I've ever been before.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
What position are you applying for?:
Lawyer
What is your motivation for applying?:
OOCLY:
I joined SRP roughly three or four years ago, but I wasn’t active until the summer of 2023. I had always been interested in joining a faction when I played on this server in the past. Yet the only things I tried out were gangrp and jockrp. Though I think both of them are great, I feel like I need something more. Things seem repetitive to me in both factions, and I am searching for something new. Not only does it seem repetitive, but I’m honestly just curious about what it’s like to work in a faction. My friend Zai explained how some things worked once he got accepted into government, but I feel it’d be much better hands-on. In general, I like to learn/experience new things. I’m always willing to branch out, try new things, meet new people, and more. However, like Zai mentioned in his application (shout out!!) I feel that if BD were to reach VG, my gangrp "career" would be over because I wouldn't have anything else to accomplish and I wouldn't want to endure the hardship of starting over. To quote him ‘I don't want to quit, but nothing else excites me.’ Yet, where would that leave me? I already have all the knowledge of Karakura laws and how court cases work, yet there is one less faction to occupy me. Given my inclination to join another faction and my passion for law, I believe that the government faction - and specifically the lawyer role - would be the ideal fit for me. I am committed to working hard. I believe I can bring new ideas, perspectives, and strategies to the faction. And honestly, all I want is to have fun, and I think that becoming a lawyer would provide me with just that as well as more roleplay, especially for this character.
Adding to this after being put on pending and BD hitting VG, it shows me how much I need to branch out. As I mentioned when I originally applied, I felt like my “gangrp career” would come to an end as there's not much more to work on. Obviously.. Things didn’t go as planned as I’m now the lead. Although this means I will be sticking with gangrp, that doesn’t mean it’ll hurt me to try new things. My point from before still stands, it’s not even an if things feel repetitive; it’s the fact they are. Of course, it’s up to me to change that and I completely understand that. But I need a whole new experience; a breath of fresh air. I crave something new, something where I feel like it doesn’t lead back to the same source. I really do love SRP, and I believe it can be really fun. So as I said before and I’ll say it again, to quote Zai “‘I don't want to quit, but nothing else excites me.’ I need to find something that can make me excited again, sorta like the feeling when I first started playing. It doesn't have to be a big change, just something to differentiate it from the rest.
ICLY:
“My goals?” Konishi paused, clearing his throat, before continuing. “I’d have to say my goals are pretty simple, honestly.” Folding his hands, the male would lean towards the interviewer. “I’m back from caring for my parents, and I miss my family dearly.. My main goal is to be able to reconnect with them.” He nodded, trying to piece his response together. “By taking on this position, I’d be able to provide for them. . possibly make up for what I’ve missed. Besides, Karakura has a special spot in my heart.. See, although I’m not from here- my grandparents were. We visited commonly; I even moved here myself for some time. I owe a lot to this town, and I’d do anything to see it thrive.”
Do you have an understanding of Karakura’s laws & Constitutional rights?:
In simple words, yes. I have read over them multiple times, mostly for gangrp lawsuits.
Are there any goals for you or your character with this role?:
I could talk for hours about the amount of backstory that has been written about this character. To put it all together, though, my IC hopes that he will have a "redemption arc." For starters, this is the father of my gang lead’s character. In their lore, he was not the best person overall and wasn't around much. He was mostly too worried about his job and showing off rather than caring about his family. However, now that he is back. . He really wants to be able to settle down in Karakura and reconnect with his family as it’s been years since he’s last seen them. Obviously, he has missed out on A LOT. . Especially in his children's lives. So now it’s time for him to not only catch up on what he missed- but he has to prove that this time he’s making an effort to improve! Spinning back a tiny bit, like I said before he was extremely focused on his job, adding that he’s an extremely flashy person. He likes to portray himself as a put-together man. But more importantly, he likes to come out on top. He will turn anything into a competition, not only getting work done himself; but motivating others to follow in his steps. He is prepared to invest the time and energy necessary to advance both professionally and personally. However, that is also a result of my OOC goals. In general, I consider myself to be extremely competitive and always aim to be the best at everything. My goal in the faction is not only to have fun but also to work hard and advance through the ranks. I want to set a good example for other players, and I hope that this rubs off on them as well. I am also motivated by the idea of being able to contribute to the success of the faction.
[IC]
As you walk down the street, you see a short woman standing before, you. Although for her approachable appearance, she almost radiated a hateful aura. The woman held an envelope in her hand. She glared down at it, seemingly at the sender's name. Her face remained stone cold, a slight furrow of her brow. Without even opening it, she throws it in the trash can beside her before walking off.
She didn’t even open it? That’s odd. . .
To my dearest so-called ‘Valentina.’
I wish I could write you in goodwill. I was going to write you to announce good news, yet clearly, that has to be put aside due to your delinquency. In truth, I would like to say I’m wrong for leaving. If anything, maybe my absence is the source of the woman you’ve come to be. I wish I could believe this isn’t you, that none of this is real. Yet I couldn’t expect anything more from someone like you. I’m disappointed in you, to say the least. The things you’ve put your family through disgust me. And to hear that you’ve hidden this from me for years? You’re a shame to my name. I refuse to say I have a daughter like you. More importantly, I can’t even call you my daughter. I don’t know who this ‘Valentina’ woman is. I didn’t raise you like this, you were such a sweet young girl when I was around and you’ve now turned into the scum of our earth. I have clearly been gone for too long.
However, all hope isn’t lost. Maybe you’ll be glad to hear I’m coming back to town. I miss my family, and I'd like to say I miss you too. More importantly, I’m being interviewed as a lawyer. I will come back and set things straight, set YOU straight. I know somewhere in that heartless soul of yours that my daughter is still there, and I think you know that too. It'll be nice to come back and see you all after all these years, no matter how much you've changed for the worse.
With love, Your Father.

You’d shudder, you can just TELL you weren’t meant to read that.. But it wasn’t intended for you, all you could infer from it is that someone did SOMETHING.. And Their father was determined to fix it.
[OOC Note to this!! No this character is in no way corrupt, if anything he's extremely against it. I just thought it'd be fun to add in some lore to the application as this character's backstory is extremely important for his goals and how he wants to change.]

IN CHARACTER SECTION
[OOCLY: In this section i'm writing it as if it was happening ICLY, Personally I find it easier to add detail to my responses this way.]
As Konishi entered the town hall from the blazing sun, the cold air blew against his face as he bowed to the person in front of him.
"Good morning," He said as he followed them into their office. His voice boomed, effortlessly filling the empty room's silence. He cleared his throat, taking a seat in the chair. Konishi straightened up and extended a hand across the desk to the person who was now seated in front of him. ‘I am very grateful to be here today.’
‘Of course, shall we begin?’

Current age: "How old are you currently, Mr Konishi?"
A sigh escaped his lips. . “I am currently 43 years old, sounds a lot worse saying it out loud.. Doesn't it?” He let out a short laugh..

Work experience: "Tell me about your past work experience."
Paused, nodding along as the individual spoke. “Let me see. . I met my wife at a young age, I was in my first few years of college; I think I was around.. 23?" The man shrugged. Awkwardly adding on "Things moved fast and I had to quickly start working. ." Konishi cleared his throat, continuing on. "Well, I started working as a Lawyer in New York City for roughly 16 years before I moved me and my family to Karakura." He nodded, along as he spoke, trying to recollect the previous years. "With that being said, Problems arose with parents in New York. At this point, my eldest son was 16. . And their mother had everything in control. So I had to take a leave. Obviously years passed, everything is settled, and I'm ready to settle down again and take on this job."
Nationality & born location: "Where are you from? I'm assuming New York City?"
“I am a mix of Mexican and Japanese, though I was born in Mexico. I spent a decent amount of my childhood in Mexico but I did move to New York City when I was around 10. .”

Throughout my life, I have lived in this town several times, and it has greatly influenced who I am now.

I am committed to making a positive difference in this town and using my skills and knowledge to help it achieve its goals. I am confident that I can bring value to this role and make a meaningful contribution to the town. ”
