The Outside World and Previous Actions
Despite everything going on in the world, for a time, in the archipegalo, there is peace...Until Sothweg decided to unveil in a grand force of arms a massive military parade along with the unveiling of a 'supper weapon' of an armor system, capable of making a soldier as strong as a light tank. Naturally this was used as propaganda for their socialist cause, and had their anthem blasting all the while. While no one in the higher stages of government or the scientific community anywhere except in the eastern block believing such a weapons system could possibly work, it's mostly dismissed by the west. Though, to some, it is concerning and shows that they are working on a project like that, something highly concerning. Meanwhile, in Schwarzes Holz, a number of commercials funded by the government would promote their new 779 emergency call line. In these, three animated characters take prominence, Karl der Kriminalpolizist, Dietrich der Doktor, and Bernhard der Brandmeister. The first of the three are the most famous for their use as a way of also asking Schwarzes Holz civilians to do their part and report more than just criminals but also spies with the like "Only you can sniff out spies!" Elsewhere in the archipelago, nothing much of note happens. At least, for now...
Project: Madame Dragon's Lucky Dry CleaningRolls: Effectiveness (5+1), Cost (6), Bugs (4+1)
With Fengs swift work and connections, alongside a decent chunk of money, the work into getting the dry cleaning, along with the rest of the local businesses goes quite well and without a hitch. Furthermore, the expansion under the buildings proves to allow a fairly large number of people to remain under in what can best be described as a nice, large, staff room, along with a training room and a few other amenities. Due to the fact that it's more akin to a whole street of shops than just a dry cleaning and the fact all the basements are merged together means we have quite a bit of space. Of course, it's nothing too special but all of this including the nice back ally access means that really any sort of criminal dealing can be done with ease, especially the auctioning and selling of stolen or illegal goods.
Project: Pren Gwyn Youth ProgramRolls Problems? (3)
Due to the fact that Vinod is hardly known, and the fact he lacks the knowledge or charismatic skill Feng has, Vinod would find himself struggling to actually complete the project. He was a mechanic and a racer, not a businessman, and this venture was his first. Still, he'd make the best of it, and try and orient himself with the task at hand, taking what advice he could from Feng and trying to situate himself with this little task. It was a major one, but instead of bungling his funding away or otherwise turning the project into a mess for Feng to fix, he instead would just quietly listen to her every word and rely on her help near constantly. It was annoying for Feng, and it got nothing done, but it didn't waste money, and after enough questions about the project and situating himself, he felt confident that actually working on it would be feasible and in his capabilities, now that he knew a bit about things like contractors or management. All there was to do was test that out through proper practice, and through him actually working on the project...If he wasn't reassigned to something else now that he just got started...
It is currently the Project and Research phase.
You may at this moment in time describe and start one project which you would like to work on. The full effects of a project will be known upon completion, and the price and time of a project will be known once it is started. Do note that once you start a project, you do not need to work on it in the deployment phase, though electing not to will not advance it closer to completion.

Current Influence: 12 favors
Name: Feng Zhelan
Gender: Female
Appearance and Background: Born in Hong Kong, Zhelan was one swift to realize their lack of opportunity there from a young age, and would, after learning English thanks to a factory manager she worked for temporarily, stow away on a ship to America, where she would find Chinese immigration was banned. While she originally had an idea of going to Canada through america and getting a permit there so that way they could loophole the system, they needed money for this and would resort to theivery for a time, eventually ending in her getting caught. However, she'd manage to escape before being deported and steal one last time before stowing herself away once more, and she would keep one of the amulets she stole, one she keeps to this day and believes has some good fortune, even if she knows such notions are silly. Once the second ship she stowed away upon docked, she'd find herself in Pren Gwyn, and would work slowly on getting money, which naturally she'd do through the way she knew best. However, after some time, she would meet a man named Shun who she would grow quite fond of, and after some time with enough money open up a restaurant named the White tiger of the West, or Xīfāng báihu, though she'd soon use it as a front for various other more...illicit businesses as she expanded her empire as it turned out that her restaurant struggled at first. And while her restaurant would get a profit as she learned, so too did her more illegal business, expanded later on by the purchase of a pharmaceutical's store. And, while she'd use plenty of funds to aid the local Asian community, she also would use those under her for less legal work to enforce a bit of...extrajudicial form of protection against other groups of organized crime...In part, due to her efforts, Pentrefsiapaneaidd is what it is now. Yet, this wasn't exactly enough...

Master of Slight of hand and Stealth - While certainly no longer one to steal, Feng has a good deal of skill in the art of blending in and hiding both her movements and herself. This needless to say makes it a lot harder for one to spot her.

Name: Vinod Ashtekar
Gender: Male
Appearance and Background: Born in India, Vinod and his story is mostly unknown to us until they arrived in Pren Gwyn, and Pentrefsiapaneaidd. Initially, they worked as a mechanic, surprisingly enough. Anyone else would say he worked hard and eventually managed to save up enough money to buy themselves a nice car which later they modified as a bit of a passion project. But in reality, they had always done a few jobs on the side of their main work. Often in the transportation of any illegal goods, no questions asked, followed by what made his passion for mechanics second in his mind. Racing. While he still would work on the transport of illegal and stolen goods, his focus became that of racing, and even at times working as a getaway driver. Regardless, he has gained the ire of some due to his lack of loyalty to anyone in any sort of gang conflicts and instead working akin to a mercenary who got hired by four gangs in particular fairly commonly, and he knows this. Still, as long as he has his car, he'll be safe.
He has tan skin and short, strait black hair and brown eyes, and commonly wears casual clothing along with sunglasses when driving, so long as it's not night.
