BLACK MARKET DEALER APPLICATION.
Written by SchoolRP
Disclaimer notes: I definitely have a bit of a bad presence OOCly and I understand why I have it. I'm outspoken and unapologetic and in the past it has resulted in a lot of mistakes. I'm trying to do it differently this time around and I think all of the time I went offline as well as some recent life experiences have definitely awoken a new version of me, a better version. I'm hoping my application isn't marked negatively due to connotations of my past presence on the server as it does not represent me or whom I want to be. I love SRP and I feel that I am an asset to it's community rather then a problem and I hope to convince people of this in the future. If I could undo every mistake on this server that I have made --- then I would do it a thousand times over and it would still not be enough for me personally. My presence coming forward on SRP will be one of be one of my usual positivity (like it has for the majority of my playtime) I assure you
This application bares inspiration from my friend ImKana (you will see in the google documents link) as well as to iKawaiiPotato, I think Kana test reading my work and adding upon it with his ideas really helped to strengthen the event idea.
Thanks for reading my application in advance also. It was a long one and I absolutely apologise for that, I recognise that an applications length doe not equate to it being a good app -- I did not go into the application wishing to write "The Longest App in all of SRP history!!!" -- I tried to make sure it didn't 'drag-on' per say and even after that it's still biblical in length. This application was not written to bore and I hope it didn't bore you whilst reading it all -- I simply just had a lot to say, certainly more then any other application i've ever written.

Previous bans/warns/kicks: I had the majority of my bans "pardoned" a few years back, in the case of being dismissed or false. The last time I was banned was in 2018. I don't plan on getting banned ever again. In the respect of transparency. I am not a perfect player. I have definitely made mistakes and have just nearly bordered the lines of being banned a few times since 2018. I have the potential to be somebody controversial at times (as do we all!) but that persona is not an accurate representation of me as an individual or as an applicant. I hope that I am not judged negatively because of that.

Describe your activity on the server: 9/10. I left SRP during a pivotal moment in my life (Getting kicked out and having to move out of home, taking up more hours at work etc whilst still heavy into my exams) however recently I have gotten Covid and with all the extra time that's been allocated me I've realised that maybe I should be giving myself more room to breath and to enjoy things that I haven't given myself time to enjoy, like Minecraft and other games. I'm not completely back to SRP yet (I haven't found the thing to latch onto yet and to make me stay super long term, I'm hoping you'll allow for it to be this.); but me not being invested in this or me being a lousy member who doesn't log on shouldn't be a worry you should have. I'd like to think I am somebody with a record of doing the exact opposite. I took Fight Club from the ashes of multiple, multiple inactive owners and turned it into something that opens once a week without fail for quite literal months throughout both me and the person I chose to take it after I resigned.
Then there is AUFFALLEN. An ancient shop that hadn't worked in god knows when. And for over a year I opened 12 or more times a month without fail, not even counting my duties towards my estate, being a professor, fight club, and all of the other BusinessRP stuff I had going. So yes, right now I might not seem like a perfect candidate in terms of current activity. But I am the type of person who can change a faction around just by the amount of love I can put into it. It's not the first time I've done it as a BMD and I hope it won't be the last. I hope that adequately explains where I am, activity-wise.
I'm not applying for the job for the heavy pay (I have enough yen on my accounts to live comfortably for a millennia) nor for the status of being a BMD (I've had it before and it didn't phase me then, so it won't now.) I am applying because I do enjoy the 'creation' and the fruition of ideas and I think I can do that, right now as a BMD. That's why I'll be active. Because this is what is fun to me. I am applying simply because I want to do the job, and do it well I certainly will. I am well aware that me posting this soooo soon (like about a week or two) into my returning to SRP is certainly a reason to just 'blanket response' this application with a thickly drawn red Denied but I hope that the absurd amount of effort put into the application as well as how much I am actually excited about this will speak volumes for me.
Specify your Discord name and discriminator (USER#????) and if you have a microphone: Toto#0612. I have a microphone.
Specify your country of origin and time zone: Australia, AEST.
What are your motivations in applying for the black market dealer role?: I see good things being done here and I want nothing more than to be a part of that. To give you an account of how I spend my time on the server:
Fight Club was my child and I loved doing that every week to my absolute core. I bought Fight Club at an insane loss (35 million) and opened it every week because that's what I wanted for SRP. Fight Club has never made a profit (and most likely, never, never will.) and that's okay with me because it was a passion project, I want to do things to improve the server and that was one of them.
The most important thing I ever did as a BMD last time was offer the players of lesser timezones the opportunity to buy weapons on weekdays rather then work around the otherwise lacklusterness of playing SRP in a lesser timezone. This is an issue with SRPS 'Player-operated' factions where -- the majority of the faction is in timezones in the US, UK or similar -- leaving the lesser timezones to pick up the bread crumbs or work heavily around them on the weekends, However in my case I was able to heavily alleviate my fellow players, open during times that worked for them and access that niche market. I think offering players some choice is amazing and it was one of the centre reasons in me applying. It's how I worked before and it's how I want to do it again as I think that would be a great help to the playerbase.
I really love making SRP a better place and when I have ideas I try to the best of my ability to make those a part of the server as best I can. Apart from making it a better place for me could be doing deals in disenfranchised timezones that are often neglected and helping moderate the black market, something I am absolutely happy to do. I've done it before and I'd be ABSOLUTELY stoked if I get to do it again. I am on the cusp of returning to SRP and I think, being able to be a black market dealer and devote myself to that is the thing I need.
What helps you to stand out from other applicants & what can you uniquely provide to the team?:
1.) The Most Experience.
The service that I can provide is nothing like the other candidates because I can say all of my applications truthfully. I can be the BMD that you need. From both the GangRP area (Founded & created KAGE, various other gangs, been in a behind-the-scenes position in various modern-day gangs in a spectator role, guiding them. Being a former Black Market Dealer and Police Officer. Have been on both sides of the GangRP events, from either helping and staffing them or being a part of them as a player.) There is the fact that I founded and led KAGE and that I have also co-led or been a high member of very prestigious gangs. Not to tackle this on but I have been a part of these gangs in various positions: KAGE (Kazekage & Mizukage as well), E.S.H (East Side Havoc), Voice Of Solos, KARAKURA AKUMA, WILD DOGS, Red Sector, The Last Sector, The River, The Akihito Clan, Toman, Suteji, Bonten (in more of a spectatorial capacity though) and finally, Tokyo-3. That's about 15 gangs if you consider KAGE as three gangs given for a time that it was separated units. I have experience in literally everything there is. If I had to say there was something I could definitively prove as being a "stand out" then it would simply be that my experience is not only GangRP but in the server itself extremely outweighs my fellow applicants. I know the work well, I'm a GangRP veteran and have done my time in every faucet that it has to offer.
2.) The Know-How
I've done pretty much everything SRP has to offer, that includes GangRP businesses. I was the longest-serving Fight Club owner. I am your man when it comes to introducing new and old concepts and making them both active and fully functioning. In terms of GangRP itself, I founded, created and led KAGE with help from Im6 when it came to running events and whatnot (before the days of the Event Team). It seems to me that you want to expand GangRP into different areas with BusinessRP being one of them, something I have the know-how for as its longest-serving owner (let alone the fact that I was a high-tiered member in the original Fight Club way back then as well as a few iterations since.) I hope to be the person you choose to help you lead this new charge (as I already showed I was already capable of with Fight Club). I really like the ideas you've presented this early on in your BMD run and I'd like to help bring those to fruition. I really, really would.
3.) The Most Passion
I love SRP, I do. As you know, I have been playing SRP for the last six years. In that time I have done everything that there is to do on SRP. I am applying not because I need/want the yen or because I want the recognition from it but because I am truly passionate about helping out with the new ideas you have presented in your recent announcement. I am your man when it comes to new concepts and ideas and I want to be able to help this newest transition I have tons of ideas about GangRP and especially this BusinessRP aspect you seem to want to lean in towards.
4.) I am Extremely Low Maintenance
I am probably the lowest maintenance applicant out of the bunch, not only does my experience and know-how eliminate nearly all possible issues just out of the get-go, the fact that I have already been a BMD, for several, several months will cut down on the otherwise lengthy training process in teaching me the ropes of it all. I'm a former staff member (in two positions) on SRP and have had experience moderating SRP-Related discord servers (Like a BMD has to do in the black market discord. via answering questions professionally, etc.) In term of illegial businesses, there is obviously my lengthy fight club career as well as the second business, The Shelter (of which I am heavily apart of) which is just on the horizon right now which is currently in collaboration with Fight Club and the Black Market. If there was a golden example of somebody being low-maintenance then it would certainly be me.
What previous experience do you have in working with a team?:
I've been a part of and led various teams on SRP. From working alongside Samra for years on various projects as well as my time as a Police Officer, Professor, Teacher, School Employee, Governor, Politician (short-lived), Black Market Dealer, Shopkeeper and various other ranks have proven that I can effectively work in a team. As well as leading a team by Owning AUFFALLEN and Fight Club and keeping them active (12+ openings a month for AUFFALLEN and 1 opening a week for Fight Club)
I love being a part of a team, and I've been a part of this particular team before. I know how it works, there is no learning curve when it comes to teaching me things. Again, I am extremely low maintenance. Both alone and in a team. I get along with others and know how to provide to a team and overall: absolutely strengthen it.
What suggestions do you have to help better the crime faction?:
I only really have one and I have been sitting on it for a while (as I think it's a bit "out there" as an idea, as well as very being very resource-intensive to achieve.) I'd like it if SRP pays more attention to how criminals make money (Making GangRP profitable... laundering businesses that could only be owned by verified gangs like a Car Wash or a hot dog van that would look to only hire their gang members as employees, these would act as components in making these gangs be able to hide into plain sight as well as a place for gangs to 'hang out' outside of turfs or hideouts... This would be kind of a 'rendition' of a hideout, or hell! A chance to form.) as well as giving gangs ways to turn that blood money into spendable money (The ability to Launder!! back in 2018 this used to kind of be a big deal.. Yakuzba ring a bell?). These could act as expensive investments as well as a new money-sink. My suggestion came from when I was watching Breaking Bad (Season 3, Episode 11, light spoilers) At this point in the series, Walt is a pretty wealthy criminal and his criminal lawyer, Saul suggests to Walter that he needs to begin to launder that money so that he can use it without being caught by the IRS. Eventually, this turns into Walter buying a laundromat and using it as a laundering operation for the rest of the show.
My idea is that I think there should be various one-plot 'shops' that are NPC (or player) run that can be purchased by other players as a means to launder their gang money. Buying one would only be purchasable by an Adult rank and I think would be a perfect way to nudge players into making their gangs more realistic by choosing to have older characters run their gangs instead of random 18-year-olds. As well as give the normal players more places to go outside of school. It'd just make the map more interesting. You've actually kind of leaned into this. in a way with the Bonten gang hideout. WHICH I absolutely adore. But I still think there's more to it than we're just on the brink of.
In terms of the 'BMD Businesses', I have a particular interest in the street racing aspect. I was a member of Samra's short-lived one back in 2018? 2019? And I joined the previous attempt by I believe erehn? It's a very enticing idea and is also the business project I have had the least amount of involvement in out of the ones mentioned in the announcements. I challenge the difficulty of making it work. I won't go any further as I have a lot of very 'high-concept' ideas that I still need to figure out how they'd be executed. I know this was only really 'one' suggestion rather than multiple like the question suggests but, I have a LOT to say just about this one idea. I think it has a lot of potentials and it's why I care so much about it as a concept.
Alternatively: I have this one which was made right before writing this application. This is a more 'formal' suggestion that I could present as a fully formed event rather than the previous which was very uncoordinated. This is to show the duality of ideas that I have, with one being an addition and the one below simply being an event. Although this does not answer the question necessarily correctly as it is not a 1-to-1 interpretation of the question -- it was important to me to show you the scope of abilities and suggestions that I happen to have!
Are you familiar with all rules pertaining to weapon profiles, combat, permissions, and player conduct on the server?: 100%. Every time a rule was announced I read it. It was apart of the job when I was Fight Club Owner, I wanted to be up to date.
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?: 100%. This is not my first rodeo.
Are you familiar with that if your character(s) is/are killed or permanently arrested twice, you will be removed from the black market?: 100%. I have never lost a character from BMD or as a police officer. This won't be an issue.
Are you familiar with that you cannot reveal any out-of-character plans or potential addition to the black market to others?: 100%.

Describe your character's appearance to the greatest detail:
Describe your character's personality to the greatest detail: Jiangshi Gokusawa, despite being rather troublesome in nature presents himself as quiet and humble, he is incredibly cautious as is he skilled. In his nearly 32 years of living Jiangshi has spent the majority of his life in crime, starting as early as age 14 as a low level grunt in his home city of Takashima -- during this time committing various awful crimes of which he used to feel great moral confliction about. Due to his lengthy criminal past and his career as a defence-force cadet and call-for-hire hitmen has led to Jiangshi becoming a highly proficient killer, something he does with a general kindness. He does what is necessary for the job and nothing more. Due to his former feelings of confliction he attempts to minimise his impacts and tends to go for the lighter sentences if he can convince his employers to let him.
Jiangshi, now a retired-hitmen works now in more 'corporate' crime, laundering his own money from throughout the years as well as his remaining contacts, the only way he was allowed to transition out of killing people without being seen as a liability (You can never.... really.. leave the business.) With his life as a criminal always being held over him, both mentally and when it comes to living his day to day life. He tries to live his life with honour despite his career-choice and is otherwise very morally upstanding. Despite where his nature leads him... career-wise.. Perhaps back to his roots.
Describe your character's backstory to the greatest detail: (300+ words minimum)
Jiangshi Gokusawa was born in the year 1990 in Takashima City, Japan. Raised mostly by his uncle Kyuketsuki Sasori (on his mothers side) -- as both of his parents were otherwise absent.
He was raised as a middle-class citizen, beginning to attend Taketatsu High School before the influx of students from the boarding school of Furness Academy had been transferred - that was until they eventually did... Having to share his then very traditional city with the likes of foreigners... something he originally absolutely detested...
Being a troublesome child, him now being in high school was no different -- as young as fourteen years old he was inducted into the local high school gang of the time, Wild Dogs -- starting as a low-level grunt before eventually being tasked with dealing weapons for the gang. A few times narrowly dodging Corporal Spoon.
After the wrecking ball incident he, alongside the other students at Taketatsu High School moved to Karakura High, from this point on he would move up in the world, being offered a position in East Side Havoc as a smuggler -- a higher position than he had held as a Wild Dog grunt... accepting the job title due to money troubles of the now growing economy in Karakura. Working directly under Chris Herrington, a mob boss who had taken great interest in him.
Jiangshi had applied to join the basic ranks of the Japanese self-defence force as he was now a high-tier smuggler and bartender at Yakuzba Bar soon to graduate from Karakura High . . . stricken over the last few years with moral confliction from his illegal career. However despite this attempt to 'go straight'... his past and his illegal nature led quickly to him being dishonourably discharged. It was just in his nature to be on the wrong side of the law, sadly.
Now back in Karakura with newly created falsified records -- he applied for a job as a Sous-Chef... for tax reasons! Working this day job whilst he was secretly a Hire for Job Hitman. Working for various high-end clientele over the years including former Karakuran Mayor Akira (the one before Leighton).
(A picture of Jiangshi during his days as a Sous-Chef.)
However not was all right in the world, as his Uncle -- Kyuketsuki had, in his eyes seen what is essentially his very own son go straight and out of crime. Kyuketsuki was so overwhelmed with joy that he eventually offered his nephew a job alongside him... Working at Miller Industries Tower as one of the Security Liaison Officers.
Jiangshi would keep this double life of his a secret -- to his Uncle he was a now straight Security Liaison Officer and to the criminal underworld? One of Karakura's finest. After the demise of Miller Industries, he found solace in “Duxcoin”, A cryptocurrency (Yes, SRP offered a cryptocurrency plugin at one point) as a way to launder his money. Having built enough wealth he begins to slow down and stop accepting new criminal contracts, waiting simply for his clientele to be taken down by the police or disbanded. With his last official hitmen job being on July 1st 2019... As one of the enforcers of KAZEKAGE...
From this point onwards he would work in more corporate crime as the police attention surrounding Karakura had grown exponentially after the disappearance of KAGE. Offering corporate crime contracts as a way to avoid being killed or being forced to run away and create a false identity -- With Jiangshi three years later now being 31 and always looking for a reason to let his true nature take control of the wheel... Perhaps with The Black Market being the entry point for him.
Describe an interaction that your character may have as a black market dealer:
Jiangshi opens to deal and receives a call from a police investigator. Jiangshi meets in person and is very non-personal in pursuit. He is confronted by an investigator who is yet to reveal themselves. Jiangshi is cautious and has already planned out every possible method of attack as well as a getaway vehicle registered under a now defunct forest ranger organisation -- nobody is looking for it and what's best? A easily falsifiable license plate. Jiangshi hears out the investigator, offering him a Hunting Dagger as requested -- being caught red handed by the investigator. . . Shit.
Jiangshi's mind races frantically... kill the cop? run perhaps? Jiangshi is a fast swimmer . . can he make it to his get away car in time..? Jiangshi makes the decision that he can possibly do all three. . . without a second hesitation now he dashes, across a wall and into a large area of water... sighing and pulling a huge breath of hair and then under the water he... hiding himself in plain sight as a dozen or two cops enter the sewers -- this must've been their lucky break alright...
He slowly retreats from the water into the distance... using throwing knives to silence cops from a distance whenever they come close to seeing him or calling for help... He eventually makes it out of the sewer... Except now they know him by his criminal alias name.. . "The Driver." and drive he did..
Describe any other additional information that is notable in considering your character for the role of a black market dealer: As mentioned above, I would prefer to use Lernaean but am okay with using Jiangshi, another one of my well established characters.

Disclaimer notes: I definitely have a bit of a bad presence OOCly and I understand why I have it. I'm outspoken and unapologetic and in the past it has resulted in a lot of mistakes. I'm trying to do it differently this time around and I think all of the time I went offline as well as some recent life experiences have definitely awoken a new version of me, a better version. I'm hoping my application isn't marked negatively due to connotations of my past presence on the server as it does not represent me or whom I want to be. I love SRP and I feel that I am an asset to it's community rather then a problem and I hope to convince people of this in the future. If I could undo every mistake on this server that I have made --- then I would do it a thousand times over and it would still not be enough for me personally. My presence coming forward on SRP will be one of be one of my usual positivity (like it has for the majority of my playtime) I assure you
This application bares inspiration from my friend ImKana (you will see in the google documents link) as well as to iKawaiiPotato, I think Kana test reading my work and adding upon it with his ideas really helped to strengthen the event idea.
Thanks for reading my application in advance also. It was a long one and I absolutely apologise for that, I recognise that an applications length doe not equate to it being a good app -- I did not go into the application wishing to write "The Longest App in all of SRP history!!!" -- I tried to make sure it didn't 'drag-on' per say and even after that it's still biblical in length. This application was not written to bore and I hope it didn't bore you whilst reading it all -- I simply just had a lot to say, certainly more then any other application i've ever written.

Describe your activity on the server: 9/10. I left SRP during a pivotal moment in my life (Getting kicked out and having to move out of home, taking up more hours at work etc whilst still heavy into my exams) however recently I have gotten Covid and with all the extra time that's been allocated me I've realised that maybe I should be giving myself more room to breath and to enjoy things that I haven't given myself time to enjoy, like Minecraft and other games. I'm not completely back to SRP yet (I haven't found the thing to latch onto yet and to make me stay super long term, I'm hoping you'll allow for it to be this.); but me not being invested in this or me being a lousy member who doesn't log on shouldn't be a worry you should have. I'd like to think I am somebody with a record of doing the exact opposite. I took Fight Club from the ashes of multiple, multiple inactive owners and turned it into something that opens once a week without fail for quite literal months throughout both me and the person I chose to take it after I resigned.
Then there is AUFFALLEN. An ancient shop that hadn't worked in god knows when. And for over a year I opened 12 or more times a month without fail, not even counting my duties towards my estate, being a professor, fight club, and all of the other BusinessRP stuff I had going. So yes, right now I might not seem like a perfect candidate in terms of current activity. But I am the type of person who can change a faction around just by the amount of love I can put into it. It's not the first time I've done it as a BMD and I hope it won't be the last. I hope that adequately explains where I am, activity-wise.
I'm not applying for the job for the heavy pay (I have enough yen on my accounts to live comfortably for a millennia) nor for the status of being a BMD (I've had it before and it didn't phase me then, so it won't now.) I am applying because I do enjoy the 'creation' and the fruition of ideas and I think I can do that, right now as a BMD. That's why I'll be active. Because this is what is fun to me. I am applying simply because I want to do the job, and do it well I certainly will. I am well aware that me posting this soooo soon (like about a week or two) into my returning to SRP is certainly a reason to just 'blanket response' this application with a thickly drawn red Denied but I hope that the absurd amount of effort put into the application as well as how much I am actually excited about this will speak volumes for me.
Specify your Discord name and discriminator (USER#????) and if you have a microphone: Toto#0612. I have a microphone.
Specify your country of origin and time zone: Australia, AEST.
What are your motivations in applying for the black market dealer role?: I see good things being done here and I want nothing more than to be a part of that. To give you an account of how I spend my time on the server:
Fight Club was my child and I loved doing that every week to my absolute core. I bought Fight Club at an insane loss (35 million) and opened it every week because that's what I wanted for SRP. Fight Club has never made a profit (and most likely, never, never will.) and that's okay with me because it was a passion project, I want to do things to improve the server and that was one of them.
The most important thing I ever did as a BMD last time was offer the players of lesser timezones the opportunity to buy weapons on weekdays rather then work around the otherwise lacklusterness of playing SRP in a lesser timezone. This is an issue with SRPS 'Player-operated' factions where -- the majority of the faction is in timezones in the US, UK or similar -- leaving the lesser timezones to pick up the bread crumbs or work heavily around them on the weekends, However in my case I was able to heavily alleviate my fellow players, open during times that worked for them and access that niche market. I think offering players some choice is amazing and it was one of the centre reasons in me applying. It's how I worked before and it's how I want to do it again as I think that would be a great help to the playerbase.
I really love making SRP a better place and when I have ideas I try to the best of my ability to make those a part of the server as best I can. Apart from making it a better place for me could be doing deals in disenfranchised timezones that are often neglected and helping moderate the black market, something I am absolutely happy to do. I've done it before and I'd be ABSOLUTELY stoked if I get to do it again. I am on the cusp of returning to SRP and I think, being able to be a black market dealer and devote myself to that is the thing I need.
What helps you to stand out from other applicants & what can you uniquely provide to the team?:
1.) The Most Experience.
The service that I can provide is nothing like the other candidates because I can say all of my applications truthfully. I can be the BMD that you need. From both the GangRP area (Founded & created KAGE, various other gangs, been in a behind-the-scenes position in various modern-day gangs in a spectator role, guiding them. Being a former Black Market Dealer and Police Officer. Have been on both sides of the GangRP events, from either helping and staffing them or being a part of them as a player.) There is the fact that I founded and led KAGE and that I have also co-led or been a high member of very prestigious gangs. Not to tackle this on but I have been a part of these gangs in various positions: KAGE (Kazekage & Mizukage as well), E.S.H (East Side Havoc), Voice Of Solos, KARAKURA AKUMA, WILD DOGS, Red Sector, The Last Sector, The River, The Akihito Clan, Toman, Suteji, Bonten (in more of a spectatorial capacity though) and finally, Tokyo-3. That's about 15 gangs if you consider KAGE as three gangs given for a time that it was separated units. I have experience in literally everything there is. If I had to say there was something I could definitively prove as being a "stand out" then it would simply be that my experience is not only GangRP but in the server itself extremely outweighs my fellow applicants. I know the work well, I'm a GangRP veteran and have done my time in every faucet that it has to offer.
2.) The Know-How
I've done pretty much everything SRP has to offer, that includes GangRP businesses. I was the longest-serving Fight Club owner. I am your man when it comes to introducing new and old concepts and making them both active and fully functioning. In terms of GangRP itself, I founded, created and led KAGE with help from Im6 when it came to running events and whatnot (before the days of the Event Team). It seems to me that you want to expand GangRP into different areas with BusinessRP being one of them, something I have the know-how for as its longest-serving owner (let alone the fact that I was a high-tiered member in the original Fight Club way back then as well as a few iterations since.) I hope to be the person you choose to help you lead this new charge (as I already showed I was already capable of with Fight Club). I really like the ideas you've presented this early on in your BMD run and I'd like to help bring those to fruition. I really, really would.
3.) The Most Passion
I love SRP, I do. As you know, I have been playing SRP for the last six years. In that time I have done everything that there is to do on SRP. I am applying not because I need/want the yen or because I want the recognition from it but because I am truly passionate about helping out with the new ideas you have presented in your recent announcement. I am your man when it comes to new concepts and ideas and I want to be able to help this newest transition I have tons of ideas about GangRP and especially this BusinessRP aspect you seem to want to lean in towards.
4.) I am Extremely Low Maintenance
I am probably the lowest maintenance applicant out of the bunch, not only does my experience and know-how eliminate nearly all possible issues just out of the get-go, the fact that I have already been a BMD, for several, several months will cut down on the otherwise lengthy training process in teaching me the ropes of it all. I'm a former staff member (in two positions) on SRP and have had experience moderating SRP-Related discord servers (Like a BMD has to do in the black market discord. via answering questions professionally, etc.) In term of illegial businesses, there is obviously my lengthy fight club career as well as the second business, The Shelter (of which I am heavily apart of) which is just on the horizon right now which is currently in collaboration with Fight Club and the Black Market. If there was a golden example of somebody being low-maintenance then it would certainly be me.
What previous experience do you have in working with a team?:
I've been a part of and led various teams on SRP. From working alongside Samra for years on various projects as well as my time as a Police Officer, Professor, Teacher, School Employee, Governor, Politician (short-lived), Black Market Dealer, Shopkeeper and various other ranks have proven that I can effectively work in a team. As well as leading a team by Owning AUFFALLEN and Fight Club and keeping them active (12+ openings a month for AUFFALLEN and 1 opening a week for Fight Club)
I love being a part of a team, and I've been a part of this particular team before. I know how it works, there is no learning curve when it comes to teaching me things. Again, I am extremely low maintenance. Both alone and in a team. I get along with others and know how to provide to a team and overall: absolutely strengthen it.
What suggestions do you have to help better the crime faction?:
I only really have one and I have been sitting on it for a while (as I think it's a bit "out there" as an idea, as well as very being very resource-intensive to achieve.) I'd like it if SRP pays more attention to how criminals make money (Making GangRP profitable... laundering businesses that could only be owned by verified gangs like a Car Wash or a hot dog van that would look to only hire their gang members as employees, these would act as components in making these gangs be able to hide into plain sight as well as a place for gangs to 'hang out' outside of turfs or hideouts... This would be kind of a 'rendition' of a hideout, or hell! A chance to form.) as well as giving gangs ways to turn that blood money into spendable money (The ability to Launder!! back in 2018 this used to kind of be a big deal.. Yakuzba ring a bell?). These could act as expensive investments as well as a new money-sink. My suggestion came from when I was watching Breaking Bad (Season 3, Episode 11, light spoilers) At this point in the series, Walt is a pretty wealthy criminal and his criminal lawyer, Saul suggests to Walter that he needs to begin to launder that money so that he can use it without being caught by the IRS. Eventually, this turns into Walter buying a laundromat and using it as a laundering operation for the rest of the show.
My idea is that I think there should be various one-plot 'shops' that are NPC (or player) run that can be purchased by other players as a means to launder their gang money. Buying one would only be purchasable by an Adult rank and I think would be a perfect way to nudge players into making their gangs more realistic by choosing to have older characters run their gangs instead of random 18-year-olds. As well as give the normal players more places to go outside of school. It'd just make the map more interesting. You've actually kind of leaned into this. in a way with the Bonten gang hideout. WHICH I absolutely adore. But I still think there's more to it than we're just on the brink of.
In terms of the 'BMD Businesses', I have a particular interest in the street racing aspect. I was a member of Samra's short-lived one back in 2018? 2019? And I joined the previous attempt by I believe erehn? It's a very enticing idea and is also the business project I have had the least amount of involvement in out of the ones mentioned in the announcements. I challenge the difficulty of making it work. I won't go any further as I have a lot of very 'high-concept' ideas that I still need to figure out how they'd be executed. I know this was only really 'one' suggestion rather than multiple like the question suggests but, I have a LOT to say just about this one idea. I think it has a lot of potentials and it's why I care so much about it as a concept.
Alternatively: I have this one which was made right before writing this application. This is a more 'formal' suggestion that I could present as a fully formed event rather than the previous which was very uncoordinated. This is to show the duality of ideas that I have, with one being an addition and the one below simply being an event. Although this does not answer the question necessarily correctly as it is not a 1-to-1 interpretation of the question -- it was important to me to show you the scope of abilities and suggestions that I happen to have!
Are you familiar with all rules pertaining to weapon profiles, combat, permissions, and player conduct on the server?: 100%. Every time a rule was announced I read it. It was apart of the job when I was Fight Club Owner, I wanted to be up to date.
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?: 100%. This is not my first rodeo.
Are you familiar with that if your character(s) is/are killed or permanently arrested twice, you will be removed from the black market?: 100%. I have never lost a character from BMD or as a police officer. This won't be an issue.
Are you familiar with that you cannot reveal any out-of-character plans or potential addition to the black market to others?: 100%.

Describe your character's appearance to the greatest detail:
Physical Characteristics | |
| Style | In some sort of everyday attire. Despite his wealth he always attempted to blend in. He wasn't usually very explosive when it came to his appearance but his features sometimes did overwhelm his appearance. He often wears suits whilst committing tasks. |
| Ethnicity | Asian. |
| Build | Mesomorphic. Tall, skinny. He looks like he must've had a lot of former muscle and density however perhaps a lack of recent physical work has allowed him to reset. |
| Height | Jiangshi is 188 centimetres / '6'2". |
| Weight | Jiangshi is 78 kilograms / 172 lbs. |
| Hair Colour | His natural dark black hair, fitting for the average Japanese male. His hair is long and flowy but is usually kept up in a traditional samurai bun. |
| Eye Colour | Changes and varies in skin reshades but usually has purple contacts for various reasons. Small scar around his eye as he was once temporarily blind. Occasionally wears patch to cover his eye as over-use leads to nerve-aching headaches. |
| Complexion | Light, pale white skin. It almost glowed. You could see his blood veins and other things in certain lights. Due to how he has become to treat his body in recent years -- However he has always been varyingly levels of pale. |
Describe your character's personality to the greatest detail: Jiangshi Gokusawa, despite being rather troublesome in nature presents himself as quiet and humble, he is incredibly cautious as is he skilled. In his nearly 32 years of living Jiangshi has spent the majority of his life in crime, starting as early as age 14 as a low level grunt in his home city of Takashima -- during this time committing various awful crimes of which he used to feel great moral confliction about. Due to his lengthy criminal past and his career as a defence-force cadet and call-for-hire hitmen has led to Jiangshi becoming a highly proficient killer, something he does with a general kindness. He does what is necessary for the job and nothing more. Due to his former feelings of confliction he attempts to minimise his impacts and tends to go for the lighter sentences if he can convince his employers to let him.
Jiangshi, now a retired-hitmen works now in more 'corporate' crime, laundering his own money from throughout the years as well as his remaining contacts, the only way he was allowed to transition out of killing people without being seen as a liability (You can never.... really.. leave the business.) With his life as a criminal always being held over him, both mentally and when it comes to living his day to day life. He tries to live his life with honour despite his career-choice and is otherwise very morally upstanding. Despite where his nature leads him... career-wise.. Perhaps back to his roots.
Describe your character's backstory to the greatest detail: (300+ words minimum)
Jiangshi Gokusawa was born in the year 1990 in Takashima City, Japan. Raised mostly by his uncle Kyuketsuki Sasori (on his mothers side) -- as both of his parents were otherwise absent.
He was raised as a middle-class citizen, beginning to attend Taketatsu High School before the influx of students from the boarding school of Furness Academy had been transferred - that was until they eventually did... Having to share his then very traditional city with the likes of foreigners... something he originally absolutely detested...
Being a troublesome child, him now being in high school was no different -- as young as fourteen years old he was inducted into the local high school gang of the time, Wild Dogs -- starting as a low-level grunt before eventually being tasked with dealing weapons for the gang. A few times narrowly dodging Corporal Spoon.
After the wrecking ball incident he, alongside the other students at Taketatsu High School moved to Karakura High, from this point on he would move up in the world, being offered a position in East Side Havoc as a smuggler -- a higher position than he had held as a Wild Dog grunt... accepting the job title due to money troubles of the now growing economy in Karakura. Working directly under Chris Herrington, a mob boss who had taken great interest in him.
Jiangshi had applied to join the basic ranks of the Japanese self-defence force as he was now a high-tier smuggler and bartender at Yakuzba Bar soon to graduate from Karakura High . . . stricken over the last few years with moral confliction from his illegal career. However despite this attempt to 'go straight'... his past and his illegal nature led quickly to him being dishonourably discharged. It was just in his nature to be on the wrong side of the law, sadly.
Now back in Karakura with newly created falsified records -- he applied for a job as a Sous-Chef... for tax reasons! Working this day job whilst he was secretly a Hire for Job Hitman. Working for various high-end clientele over the years including former Karakuran Mayor Akira (the one before Leighton).
(A picture of Jiangshi during his days as a Sous-Chef.)
However not was all right in the world, as his Uncle -- Kyuketsuki had, in his eyes seen what is essentially his very own son go straight and out of crime. Kyuketsuki was so overwhelmed with joy that he eventually offered his nephew a job alongside him... Working at Miller Industries Tower as one of the Security Liaison Officers.
Jiangshi would keep this double life of his a secret -- to his Uncle he was a now straight Security Liaison Officer and to the criminal underworld? One of Karakura's finest. After the demise of Miller Industries, he found solace in “Duxcoin”, A cryptocurrency (Yes, SRP offered a cryptocurrency plugin at one point) as a way to launder his money. Having built enough wealth he begins to slow down and stop accepting new criminal contracts, waiting simply for his clientele to be taken down by the police or disbanded. With his last official hitmen job being on July 1st 2019... As one of the enforcers of KAZEKAGE...
From this point onwards he would work in more corporate crime as the police attention surrounding Karakura had grown exponentially after the disappearance of KAGE. Offering corporate crime contracts as a way to avoid being killed or being forced to run away and create a false identity -- With Jiangshi three years later now being 31 and always looking for a reason to let his true nature take control of the wheel... Perhaps with The Black Market being the entry point for him.
Describe an interaction that your character may have as a black market dealer:
Jiangshi opens to deal and receives a call from a police investigator. Jiangshi meets in person and is very non-personal in pursuit. He is confronted by an investigator who is yet to reveal themselves. Jiangshi is cautious and has already planned out every possible method of attack as well as a getaway vehicle registered under a now defunct forest ranger organisation -- nobody is looking for it and what's best? A easily falsifiable license plate. Jiangshi hears out the investigator, offering him a Hunting Dagger as requested -- being caught red handed by the investigator. . . Shit.
Jiangshi's mind races frantically... kill the cop? run perhaps? Jiangshi is a fast swimmer . . can he make it to his get away car in time..? Jiangshi makes the decision that he can possibly do all three. . . without a second hesitation now he dashes, across a wall and into a large area of water... sighing and pulling a huge breath of hair and then under the water he... hiding himself in plain sight as a dozen or two cops enter the sewers -- this must've been their lucky break alright...
He slowly retreats from the water into the distance... using throwing knives to silence cops from a distance whenever they come close to seeing him or calling for help... He eventually makes it out of the sewer... Except now they know him by his criminal alias name.. . "The Driver." and drive he did..
Describe any other additional information that is notable in considering your character for the role of a black market dealer: As mentioned above, I would prefer to use Lernaean but am okay with using Jiangshi, another one of my well established characters.
