Describe your activity on the server:

8/10

 

What inspires you to apply for the role of a black market dealer?

I have always aspired to become a dealer ever since I became involved in GangRP. I believe that the dealer role is unique and essential for advanced roleplay, as dealers are crucial for supplying weapons and other tools that play a significant part in the gameplay. Initially, I looked up to dealers due to the respect they commanded and the way they carried themselves, which inspired me and motivated me to pursue this role and experience it for myself.

 

What distinguishes you from other candidates, and what unique contributions can you bring to the team?:

 have accumulated a considerable amount of experience in GangRP, having started my journey on a roleplay server that provided a rich environment for learning and growth. Over the years, I have owned and managed multiple successful gangs, some of which reached notable milestones such as VG and UVG. These experiences allowed me to hone my leadership skills, gain a deep understanding of the dynamics of the gang world, and build a strong reputation within the community. Through my involvement in these gangs, I had the opportunity to connect with and become friends with several black market dealers. I was fortunate enough to learn from them, gaining valuable insights into how the black market operates and the strategies they use to navigate the complexities of supplying weapons and other illicit goods. Their professionalism, confidence, and ability to handle themselves in high-pressure situations deeply impressed me. The more I learned, the more intrigued I became by the dealer role. I began to see it as not just a vital part of the roleplay ecosystem, but as a unique and challenging role that combines strategy, negotiation, and adaptability. The respect that dealers commanded within the community, coupled with their ability to influence the flow of resources and power, inspired me to pursue this path. It became clear to me that becoming a dealer was not only an exciting opportunity but also a chance to further develop my skills and contribute meaningfully to the roleplay environment.

What prior experience do you have collaborating with a team?:

I bring prior experience to the table, having collaborated with various gangs, their members, and other individuals within the server. My involvement in GangRP and CombatRP has allowed me to work closely with others, where I gained hands-on experience and acquired valuable knowledge on how to navigate these aspects of the game. This exposure has deepened my understanding of the roleplay dynamics and sharpened my ability to adapt to different situations. Additionally, I have past experience from other servers, where I have owned and managed multiple highly successful gangs. These experiences have played a pivotal role in shaping my knowledge and approach to GangRP. Through these ventures, I learned key aspects of leadership, teamwork, and the importance of strategy in building and maintaining a successful gang. My time managing these gangs has equipped me with the expertise needed to thrive in the role.

Describe your character’s appearance in detail:

The Russian male you’re facing stands at an imposing 6'4" feet tall, with a presence that commands respect and perhaps even a little fear. His brown hair, thick and slightly unruly, adds to his rugged, unpolished look. It contrasts sharply with his piercing blue eyes, which seem to cut through the air with an intensity that makes it hard to look away. Those eyes, cold and sharp, carry an unmistakable sense of authority, as if he’s seen things that most wouldn’t dare to imagine. His strong features—a chiseled jawline, high cheekbones, and a firm set to his lips—give him the appearance of someone who is not easily moved or swayed. His face, rarely showing any sign of softness, exudes an air of constant focus and calculation. When he speaks, his slight Russian accent only enhances the chilling quality of his words. It’s a voice that commands attention, low and steady, yet heavy with a subtle threat. You get the sense that he’s never really caught off guard, always a step ahead. While his height and physicality alone might make anyone feel small, it’s the unspoken tension that surrounds him that makes him truly unnerving. He doesn’t need to raise his voice to assert dominance; it’s already felt in every glance and movement. His presence alone is enough to make you second-guess your own actions. There’s no warmth here, just a palpable intensity that suggests he’s someone who doesn’t tolerate weakness or indecision. Being around him is a constant reminder that he is someone not to be underestimated, and his very demeanor tells you that he’s used to getting what he wants.

 

Describe your character’s personality in detail:

His personality would likely mirror the intensity and authority that radiates from his physical presence. At his core, this Russian man would be deeply calculated, strategic, and possibly even cold-hearted. He operates with precision, constantly assessing his surroundings, weighing his options, and making decisions with an almost ruthless efficiency. His confidence isn't brash; it's earned and self-assured, rooted in experience and a knowledge that he's often one step ahead of everyone else in the room. He likely values strength, both physical and mental, and has little patience for those who display weakness or indecision. The idea of vulnerability might seem foreign to him, as he’s built himself up to be someone who doesn’t rely on others, nor does he let others rely on him in return. Trust is probably a rare commodity for him he may only have a small, close-knit circle of people he respects, and even then, he might not reveal much of his true self.

 

Describe your character’s backstory to the greatest detail (300+ words):

Nikolai Zakharov was born in Moscow, Russia, into a family that, on the surface, appeared to have it all. His father, Viktor Zakharov, was a well-respected man in the business world, his reputation as a successful entrepreneur keeping their household in a constant state of luxury. But behind the closed doors of their grand apartment, the reality was different. Nikolais’s father was abusive and manipulative, controlling every aspect of their lives with an iron grip. His cruelty was never physical, but the emotional and psychological toll it took on Nikolai and his mother, Irina, was immeasurable. Nikolai grew up walking on eggshells, unsure if the next word spoken or step taken would trigger another outburst. His manipulative nature wore down Irina, who once had dreams of his own, but now just survived the storm that was her marriage. When Nikolai was 16, things reached a breaking point. Irina could no longer endure the toxic environment. She knew she had to protect Nikolai from the same fate. With a mixture of fear and determination, Irina made the decision to leave. She sold everything they had and took what little they could carry. Nikolai, torn between the love for his father and the need for freedom, stood by his mother’s side, silently agreeing that it was time for a change. They moved to the United States, settling in a modest apartment in a quiet neighborhood. The transition was anything but easy. Nikolai, who had always been a diligent student in Russia, found it difficult to adapt to the new culture and language. But his mother was a constant source of support, encouraging Nikolai to keep going. Irina found work as a housekeeper, doing everything she could to support them both. The pain of their past followed them to America, but Nikolai could not stand his mother working so hard so he took the only and easiest path to earn money he discoverd the crime world.

 

Describe an interaction that your character may have as a black market dealer:

 

The night air was freezing and thick, the scent of rust and trash around the place, deep in the city's industrial district. It was the perfect spot, silent, abandoned, and from watchers. Hawk leaned against a cold, rusting container as he waited in a dark spot where barely a glow of a distant lamp escaped through shadows and smoke. He checked his watch… 12:32 PM, Buyer was almost late, which only fed into Nikolai's impatience. A few moments later, a figure emerged from the alley between two blocks, making its way to Nikolai. There appeared to be a young man, maybe in his early twenties, with a hood pulled over his head to hide his face.

 

The kid seemed nervous, "A rookie" Nikolai thought as he scanned him with his eyes.

 

"You got the stuff?" The kid muttered with a shaky voice when his eyes darted around the area nervously.

 

Nikolai didn't move nor answer, only tilted his head ever so slightly. His sharp gaze drilled into the kid, it was clear there's no room for small talk.

 

Hawk reached inside of his pocket, pulling out a sheath of the blade with the teeth that could bite through steel. Its blade gleamed under the dim light. He turned the blade towards the buyer, allowing him to admire the blade.

 

"This isn't some… flea market switchblade, no…" Nikolai said almost laughing as he continued, "This is a stainless steel perfect for both slashing and throwing." Hawk yet again glazed the kid and added, "If you know how to use it…"

 

The kid reached for the blade as his hand gripped around the handle. "Let me see it" the kid barked.

 

Nikolai didn't let go of the blade and yet held it out for him. As he let the weak grip grasp around the handle..,

 

Amature - Nikolai thought. "Payment first."

The kid hesitated with a flicker of uncertainty. Maybe something else... As suddenly a jerky motion was felt, he took the blade and stumbled back from the motion. The kid laughed, "I'll be keeping this, and you're not getting NOTHING," the kid barked at Nikolai.

 

Silence hung between them… Then Hawk laughed… With a low, very amused sound… Was he amused?

 

"You sure 'bout it, brat?" He asked with a calm voice that sent chills through the kid's spine.

 

The brat took a step back, gripping the knife tightly and pointing it at Nikolai. Cocky…

 

"Yeah, I am sure." He smirked. "What, you gonna fight a guy with kni-"

 

Hawk moved. And he moved fast… Before the kid could react, his fist slammed into his wrist, forcing the blade out from his grip with a sickening, echoing crack…

 

The knife clattered on the ground. The kid barely had time to yelp before Nikolai grabbed him by the collar and threw him backward, slamming him into the metal container. THUD

 

"A knife is only as deadly as the hands that wield it…" Nikolai murmured.

 

This kid had no chance. Nikolai was way too strong. He pressed his forearm against the kid's throat, pushing him more into the metal container as he reached for the knife.

 

"And your hands are too pathethic" Nikolai said, with the same, sickening smirk as he had a long time ago. He twirled the blade in his fingers, thinking as kids attidue shifted to real fear…

 

"You made mistakes today, kid. Your first mistake was thinking that you could disrespect me and walk away." Nikolai said he didn't sound too amused now.

 

The kid was fighting to find a strength to move. To find a grasp of air into his lungs, but he couldn't...

 

"And your second?" Nikolai added, pressing the knife onto the brat's cheek. "Thinking I wouldn't take it personally."

 

The kid trembled with fear and panic - it was clear he messed up. "Please, man, I-I was just messing around-"

Nikolai punched the kid in the gut. As the kid wheezed from lack of air in his lungs, Nikolai let him slide down and crouched next to him. Seeing the pathethic kid, he said, "I feel generous… You've got two options…" Nikolai paused to assert his dominance. "You give me the money, and I will let you crawl home with your fingers still intact."

 

Nikolai paused as his expression darkened with a wicked grin.

 

"Or I take my payment…"

 

The kid pushed his hands into the hoodie as he took out a few crumpled bills; it was barely enough. He handed it to Nikolai with tears in his eyes.

 

Nikolay looked at the pathethic sum as he took it and grinned, "Good choice." He added, standing up and taking his leave, dropping the knife down on the concrete.

 

Nikolai's silhouette faded into the darkness.

Why do you want a business on Echoes: 1984?: 

Since I have been playing roleplay servers for a few years, I have been delighted by the delightful experiences I've had with the players and the roleplay. By opening a new shop on the server, I can give back to the community. In addition, giving back to the server will also make the roleplay even more engaging for former employees. This will also enable me to gain first-hand experience with the challenges associated with storing, managing, and connecting with others in this type of role-playing environment. Consequently, shopkeepers may develop creative ideas and become involved in a worthwhile hobby. Compared to other candidates trying to get into this role, I have already acquired the experience of working at many shops as a cashier. As a result, I am more capable in the area of roleplaying. My first experience with shops comes from when I worked as a cashier so most of my experiences are based on that experience. As well as being able to help them in several different ways, I have also gained an in-depth understanding of how the shop operates, which has allowed me to share that knowledge with many others.

Nikolai Zakhraova is a 27-year-old Serbian-Russian man who had a difficult childhood. He was originally born in Russia, where he grew up with his brother. His father was a man of business, meaning he was almost never home or never had time to pay attention to his kids while giving them whatever they wanted, which meant they would get anything they desired for. Soon, Nikolai got bored of that life and as he was growing up, he was attention-needy, which he didnt get. Not too long after Nikolai celebrated his 18th birthday, his father would die getting killed from the Russian mafia. The Mafia would continue to hunt his family members until they killed them all. That is when Nikolai realized he would need to get away from Russia as fast as possible. Nikolai met a girl named Aleks from Serbia at his 16th age online, where they became very good friends. He grabbed some money and moved to Serbia looking for a better life, thinking he could run away from problems just by traveling to a different country. A year has passed since Nikolai moved to Serbia. Nikolai and Aleks started dating and were planning on getting married. That is before one of the Russian mob members found out about Nikolai's living in Belgrade with his girlfriend. An attempt to kill Nikolai where he got shot and committed his first murder.

Nikolai stood his ground in Serbia and joined a Secret Civilian group that was formed from Serbian Armed Forces veterans. Soon they would teach Nikolai their tactics of defense .

After a long while, Nikolai decided to not marry Aleks and move on in life, moving to a different country and leaving everything behind to try out a new future in the US. As he moved to the US, he was stationed in Orlando not long ago. His best friend moved in with him and they started their life.

She had always dreamed of telling stories, of speaking out against injustice, and the idea of becoming a reporter began to take root in her mind.

The hardships she had faced made her resilient, and she quickly gained a reputation for her drive and determination.

As she graduated, Natasha knew she was more than just a reporter. She was a survivor, a voice for the voiceless, and someone who had the power to change the narrative. Her past had shaped her into someone who would never let fear control her again. And in telling the stories of others, she was finally telling her own, reclaiming her power, and forging a new path for herself and her mother. Though the scars of her past would never fade entirely, Natasha Zakharov had become something she never thought possible—a symbol of resilience and hope.

(Fictional Story)

United States 1984 Wyoming, East Falls  2/1/1984 

First Snowfall

The first snow of the year had fallen. Everyone was throwing snowballs at each other, happily enjoying themselves in the Christmas spirit. Kids were building snowmen, and there was little traffic. The air was clear, and no one was expecting anything... but what was coming to East Falls, no one could have predicted.

3:20 AM - 3/1/1984

In East Falls, beneath the surface, an underworld criminal organization known as "All Mighty Stars" was preparing for America's most audacious heist. They had set their sights on a small-town bank, and the plan seemed flawless. A group of 10 culprits gathered to discuss the final details in a hidden room beneath a bar, confident their operation would go off without a hitch. However, they had no idea that one of their own was an inside man, and the heist would spiral into chaos.

7:00 AM

It was 10 minutes before the bank opened, and the group was ready. The bank started filling with people, all eager to withdraw money. The criminals saw their opportunity. Five men entered the bank while two were stationed outside as lookouts and two others waited as drivers. One member coordinated everything from the outside. Suddenly, shots rang out, causing panic. People screamed, fearing for their lives. As the robbers moved toward the vault with the branch manager, they had no idea that one of their lookouts was an inside man with the code name "King."

Cobra: "Nobody knew this would happen. We thought King was one of us. He’d been with us for a while. We thought the plan would go perfectly."

King eliminated his partner and informed the police that the heist had begun. Moments later, the police arrived, and chaos erupted. What started as a peaceful situation escalated into a hostage crisis. The criminals’ plan was falling apart. With communication lost between the coordinator and the men inside, the police raided their secret place, arresting the coordinator. The plan was now in shambles. The five remaining criminals inside the bank were the only ones left. The drivers, fearing arrest, had fled.

Bang!

Gunshots echoed through the bank as the robbers grew increasingly desperate. The cops wouldn’t comply with their demands. One of the criminals, terrified, surrendered, while the others refused to give up. In a desperate attempt to escape, they began killing innocent people, one by one.

12 dead, 10 injured.

The police stormed in and eliminated the remaining criminals.

In the days that followed, parents, lovers, and friends gathered in grief, laying flowers in remembrance of the victims. Their lives were cut short in a moment of violence that no one could have foreseen.

Could anything have been done to change the outcome?

That question will never be answered.
