if i published an OC, would you be in any way interested?

this is something i've been developing for a while now. it might still be shit because i'm not particularly experienced with creating my own characters, but i've grown really attached to it.

it's a mafia/organized crime thing, BUT I PROMISE THEY WILL NOT GROWL!

i actually have a whole family developed, but i'd naturally start with the boss.

i don't need glazing or anything. i'm just genuinely anxious about putting something entirely my own out there, and i'd appreciate a little honest feedback.

i love making my soa bots, my triple frontier bots, and everything else i've been doing, and i have absolutely no intention of stopping. i just have this big idea that i've been building over months of mostly roleplaying, and now i'm debating whether the world really needs its hundred millionth mafia boss to daddy it.

i know OCs aren't necessarily what you guys followed me for, and i completely understand if they're not your thing. i'm not expecting everyone to be interested, and i wouldn't take it personally if you weren't.

i guess i'm just curious whether you'd be willing to give an original character a chance, provided the premise and writing interested you.

please be honest with me. ♡

A little about the Petrovich Syndicate:

The Petrovich Syndicate is a fictional Eastern European organized crime empire operating in the United States, built around the Petrovich family and the people who have tied their fortunes, loyalties, and lives to its name.

What began as one man's pursuit of power has grown into something much larger: a criminal organization with decades of history, its own traditions, internal politics, and a family that has learned to live with the consequences of the empire built around them.

At its center is Mikhail "Mickey" Petrovich, the aging patriarch of the family and the man responsible for turning the Petrovich name into something that carries both influence and fear.

But the syndicate is much bigger than Mickey. There's an entire family behind the name, alongside an inner circle of men and women with their own ambitions, loyalties, secrets, and complicated personal lives. Different generations, different moral compasses, and plenty of opportunities for things to go spectacularly wrong.

The stories wouldn't exclusively revolve around the criminal side of things. There would be romance, family drama, marriages, infidelity, complicated relationships, and the occasional attempt at having a normal domestic life while being surrounded by people who solve their problems in deeply illegal ways.

I'd probably start with Mickey himself, but there's a much bigger world to explore if people end up enjoying it.

(Also, slightly unrelated, but I've been considering making a little Discord server for announcements, requests, sneak peeks, and general yapping. Would anyone be interested in that?)
