BACKGROUND: The White Hand is an order of ancient world teachings; who are heavily involved in organised crime and mercenary activities such as assassination plots and rebellions. They covet power above all other objectives which they use to control governments and cities from the shadows using crude criminal activities and economics. They have their hand in many things ranging from extortion, smuggling, drugs and weapons trade. They use mysticism, fear and corrupted officials to manipulate others into their plans they care not for anyone they will crush and kill all who tried to get in their way and will often silence the witnesses and their family's. They are essentially cut throats, smugglers and criminal masterminds their hands are into anything that will make money and their business is often handled in the shadows. They are secretive and choose to remain that way many do not know of their existence do to their clean ups and moving with care and stealth rather then picking an open fight. Many of them can be savage and very intelligent and most importantly they never back away from a fight to interfere with the White Hand is to ask for death. ------ Prime Commodity: Counterfeit Currency Counterfeit Documentation, Premium Quality Other Commodities: Information Brokering Data Analysis Monitoring Contraband Smuggling Manufacturing Operations Drug Trafficking Sex Trafficking Motor Vehicle Operations ------ Requirements: Criminal Record Recommendation from Affiliated Member or Faction ------ Ranks: ------ Informant The White Hand employs a number of Informants to be their eyes and ears, they use fear and greed to manipulate them into giving them vital information to assist in their hostile take overs, their goals and what ever is on their agenda. ------ Hired Muscle These are usually used for racketeering, and putting the hurt on those who cause problems for the white hand, they are above informant and entrusted with a little more then an informant would be, but still have no real dealings in any of the operations. ------ Corrupted Those who have been bribed, blackmailed, extorted are known as the corrupted, usually those who have secrets they wish to remain secret.

We work primarily with other criminal factions and entities to achieve our profits and continued accumulated wealth and influence. We often take up positions in the community in noted establishments or with our community works, to be the cover and mask for various operations. We offer a sense of realism with consequences, any number of things can transpire and go wrong adding to the RP experience and realism. This promotes in-depth story progression and character evolution, opening up more opportunities for other characters or factions to interact and write together.

EXPERIENCE: I have been the IC Lead of Police Departments, Criminal Factions as well as an Admin and a Storyteller/Mentor on a number of Sims. I also previously owned 7 Sims in another Genre of Rp that did well for 5 years. I have been in second Life since 2003 on one name or another and have accumulated much experience from being involved in communities of various natures and types. I am easy to speak with, approachable and can make tough choices and decisions when required. I am efficient in organizing people and delegating the work load as well as keeping detailed observational notes, to review and improve if necessary. I have also been very adept in creating multiple storylines and plots rich with detail, realism which promotes story progression and in depth character evolution for whole communities to enjoy and experience. Ontop of this I am very committed to my obligations and commitments.

IDEAS: There are countless many way to interact with people in an Rp community, from as simple as saying hello, to sharing a coffee, or more complicated and indepth avenues, it depends on IC responses and the flow of a scene, so I can not give you a direct response as every scene is different and will often not go the way planned. it is a case by playing it by ear.
