The factions are mafia-like organizations with a hierarchy that starts with the boss, or leader, or King/Queen depending on which group you go to, and ends with a large following that will use their magic to aid their faction. Of this nature, they generally charge businesses in their territories for "protection", they remember who, under their rule, oppose them, and they will use various means to get what they want. Many Dark Arts users find a home in the factions, because they aren't constantly suspected of evil there. Granted, once in a faction, the evil is guaranteed--at least in action. Many members of the groups don't necessarily want or care about their leader's goal, but see it as a good pay opportunity or a good chance to not get killed; depending on where they stand on the ladder. And, being a roleplay with drama, that of course means that there are members who have joined to secretly get revenge, or to get revenge on another faction. There are countless reasons why one might join, but there aren't a lot of ways to get out after that.
if youre interested, describe your faction with what they mainly do, how they handle things, how they get recruits, what they prefer, what they target, etc. Ver Tahesh was the main importer of Angel Ash (drug) in vadejira, Fourniers have a hand in it but also do crime deals (assassinations, territory gain, high profile business deals)

The Fourniers dabble in many art forms, priding themselves in professional business. They specialize in money laundering, counterfeiting (money, consumer goods), assassinations, gambling, extortion, bribery, grand larceny (jewels, art), and loansharking. They are identified rather easily because they all dress well, even the low ranking members. They have an image to uphold. High ranking members wear signature white suits that warn you of their presence. A requirement of membership is professionalism--you must not be angered easily, you must be calm and calculated, both in mannerisms and appearance. Anything less will not go unpunished. While the Fourniers have the use of firearms, they prefer knives and poison magicks since guns are "sloppy and lazy". When someone comes up dead because their throat was slit or they were poisoned, everyone knows the culprit. That is not to say they are adverse to torture. They will use more barbaric weaponry as a punishment or as a means of getting information. This is not a new development; the Fourniers are family business and the current Owners are twins Adrien and Émilien. They are identical twins and continue the legacy of their family line. Although you might become a Fournier by name, you must be one of blood to take Ownership under the long standing rule. This organization is run like a business and they own many of the corporations in Vadejira. This is why they get away with so much. They do not interact that much with the working class, who are not valuable to them. Yes, they strong-arm local shops and maintain their territory, but they don't go around threatening the people for no good reason. Again, they are not a street gang, they are professionals. The Fourniers have pull in the government and the police--though that isn't to say other factions cannot bribe anyone. The Fourniers use enough blackmail to get what they want.

The (Insert name here) mainly just do what ever they have to do to keep territory and respect/fear.They "major" in transport.They're the one's on for you.Need to get a bomb into the next state?They're the one's for you.They don't get caught up in the drug part because they don't want to get in trouble with any of the other factions.If someone wants to join they gotta get through the three stages.The first is a Stander.Standers are people who're thinking about joining.The next are Watchers.Watchers have decided they want to join and so watch and/or get taught about the general actions they perform.The last are Helpers.Helpers have gotten all the information down and are helping with the preparations.If they get passed Helper they're a member.They look for people who can keep a cool head and talk their way out of sticky situations.They're leader/king is a very chill but stern man.He doesn't take to disrespect.If you're rude or disrespect him or his trusted friends,he won't let it slide.But if his friends are ever rude without good reason they're punished harder.

so they're the scrappiest, id say? a few things though! it is organized crime, if it has a leader and ranks and crimes are planned when they are carried out i would also just take out White House since Vadejira is ambiguous--more detail is on the world building posts who runs it, and how aggressive are they with the general populace? im curious! other than that, i would just grammar check it and it looks good!

hey man, ive looked at your current rp stuff and im not sure this position is right considering what ive seen? this rp is relatively literate and the faction owners need to have more detail and activity than regular members
