Describe your activity on the server
I've been pretty active on SchoolRP, trying out a bunch of different roles and gaining alot of experience in the process.

⋆ GangRP ⋆
I have been deeply involved in GangRP for years, having led several gangs myself and participated in some of the most well-known factions on the server. Many of these groups are now part of SchoolRP’s history, but the experience I gained from them remains invaluable. Engaging in intense roleplay scenarios, organizing events, and working closely with others to create immersive narratives has shaped my understanding of dynamic storytelling and strategic roleplay.

I have also been part of numerous verified gangs, the most notable being ZERO TOLERANCE (2019-2020), where I started as a regular member before working my way up to a higher position. Currently, I play Niklas Kraemhardt, a recognized member of Immertreu, the German Mob. Additionally, under my character Abraham Ivankov, I serve as a bounty hunter for the Black Market, expanding my expertise in underground and criminal roleplay.

⋆ FacultyRP ⋆
Beyond crime-related roleplay, I have also been involved in FacultyRP, where I worked as both a teacher and a professor, primarily in IT and Computing. My approach to teaching was always interactive and engaging, ensuring that students remained interested while maintaining a structured environment. These experiences helped me develop skills in leadership, group management, and making complex topics enjoyable for others.I've also been a teacher and a professor several times, mainly focusing on IT/Computing. My classes were always fun and interactive, and I built good relationships with my students. Teaching on the server helped me get better at managing groups and making learning interesting.

⋆ FamilyRP⋆
I have a strong appreciation for FamilyRP, having led multiple influential families while developing intricate in-character relationships. Over time, I have played the role of a father to numerous IC children, which allowed me to explore unique character dynamics and long-term storytelling. Currently, I lead the Ivankov family, a large and active Russian family, demonstrating my ability to manage groups effectively and maintain leadership positions.

⋆ ShopRP ⋆
My experience in ShopRP has given me direct insight into business management within the server. I previously worked as a security guard at La Casa Nostra when it first opened, which gave me a strong foundation in shop operations, customer interactions, and handling in-store security. These experiences have provided me with the knowledge necessary to run a business successfully and ensure that it remains both profitable and engaging for customers.

⋆ Special Event ⋆
Around the same time that La Casa Nostra opened, I was also hired as a security guard for a K-pop group event. This was a fast-paced and unique experience that required quick decision-making and proper crowd control to ensure the event ran smoothly. Managing high-pressure situations and overseeing large gatherings helped me refine my organizational skills, making me more adaptable to handling complex roleplay settings.

Do you acknowledge that if you are inactive you will be demoted ?
Yup! I’m aware, and I fully agree. I can 100% certify that I have the time, energy and will to run my shop.

(as of right now, the slot for Higanbana is free.)

Yes, however it's still in development.
SRP | MAISON CHEVALIER
Permanent, unlimited use link.

Why do you want to become a Shopkeeper ?
I want to become a shopkeeper because I see Maison Chevalier as an opportunity to bring something new to Karakura. There is currently no true luxury jeweler in the city, and I believe this is the perfect time to establish one. My goal is to offer more than just high-end jewelry. I want to create a space that represents prestige and exclusivity, where every piece carries meaning beyond its material value. Maison Chevalier will be a place where status and craftsmanship meet, setting a new standard for luxury in Karakura.

My experience on SchoolRP has prepared me well for this role. I have been involved in many different aspects of roleplay, from leading gangs to working as a professor in IT and computing. These roles have helped me develop leadership skills, manage groups, and create engaging experiences for others. I have also worked in shop settings before, including as a security guard at La Casa Nostra when it first opened. This gave me firsthand experience in handling customers, managing a business environment, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.

Beyond SchoolRP, I have managed businesses in other roleplay settings, such as Arma 3 and Garry’s Mod. Whether legal or illegal, these experiences gave me insight into running a successful establishment, handling transactions, and keeping a business active. Additionally, as a recognized member of Immertreu, I have spent time around shopkeeping and protection services, which has deepened my understanding of what it takes to maintain a strong and respected business. The more I engage with this side of roleplay, the more I find myself wanting to take it further and run my own shop.

Maison Chevalier will not just be a place to buy jewelry. I want it to be a setting that allows for deeper roleplay opportunities. Many businesses on the server lack involvement in CrimeRP beyond basic robberies, which often feel one-sided. I believe that controlled criminal interactions, such as discreet exchanges and high-stakes deals, could add more depth to the shop while keeping it balanced. This would create new interactions between criminals, law enforcement, and high-status clients, making the store feel more like a living part of Karakura rather than just another place to buy items.

What excites me most about this opportunity is the chance to build something unique. Maison Chevalier will cater to those who value status, wealth, and influence. Every item sold will be more than an accessory, it will be a statement. The shop will offer both exclusive pre-designed pieces and personalized commissions, ensuring that each purchase holds meaning. By establishing this store, I want to add something fresh to the server and create a place where roleplay can unfold in ways that go beyond simple transactions.

Running Maison Chevalier is not just about selling jewelry. It is about bringing a new experience to Karakura, one that blends luxury with deeper storytelling. I want to make it a place where wealth, power, and ambition take shape, creating a store that is as much about influence as it is about fine craftsmanship.

What do you plan to do with your shop, and what makes it unique ?
I want to create an inviting and refined space that embodies the essence of exclusivity, offering a destination where clients can experience true craftsmanship and prestige. What will set Maison Chevalier apart is the combination of traditional European artistry with modern luxury trends. This fusion will provide a unique experience where customers can explore a collection of meticulously crafted jewelry, from elegant bracelets and necklaces to rare timepieces and limited-edition eyewear. Each piece will be carefully designed to reflect status, power, and timeless elegance.

Maison Chevalier will offer features that elevate it beyond a simple jewelry store. Every visit will be an experience, whether through personalized consultations, exclusive unveilings of new collections, or the ability to commission custom pieces tailored to individual tastes. The shop will also host private events for high-profile clients, creating opportunities for networking, discreet transactions, and a sense of belonging to an elite circle.

⋆ Discount system ⋆
I plan to offer exclusive discounts on select pieces to make high-end jewelry more accessible during special occasions. Whether it is a celebration, a grand event, or a unique showcase, certain items will be available at reduced prices for a limited time. These special offers will be announced both in-store and through our private network, allowing clients to take advantage of rare opportunities to acquire luxury pieces.

⋆ VIP Program ⋆
To reward loyal clients, Maison Chevalier will introduce an exclusive VIP system, granting members special privileges based on their engagement with the shop. This system will be integrated with a tracking service that updates client accounts upon each purchase. VIP members will gain access to limited-edition pieces, priority commissions, and invitations to private auctions or closed-door events. The system will ensure that returning clients receive the recognition and exclusivity they deserve, reinforcing the boutique’s status as a premier luxury establishment.
A Discord bot developed by myself will handle this. It's currently 90% done, ready to be deployed.

What will be the design of the shop ?

⋆ INTERIOR ⋆

The interior will be a blend of opulence and contemporary sophistication. The boutique will feature warm, ambient lighting, polished marble or high-gloss flooring, and walls adorned with mirrored and gold-accented surfaces to enhance the sense of grandeur. The centerpiece of the store will be a chandelier that adds an air of luxury while softly illuminating the showroom. Display cases will be positioned with ample space between them, ensuring a private and intimate shopping experience. Each jewelry piece will be housed in well-lit, glass cases with velvet-lined interiors, elevating their presentation.

⋆ INTERIOR (BONUS, IF POSSIBLE) ⋆
A VIP consultation lounge will be available for exclusive clients, providing a comfortable yet sophisticated setting for private viewings and personalized commissions. The shop’s overall design will focus on graceful symmetry, high-end materials, and an atmosphere that immediately communicates prestige and exclusivity.

⋆ EXTERIOR ⋆
The façade will be grand and imposing, exuding elegance with a mix of classical architecture and modern refinement. Inspired by Graff’s storefront, the entrance will feature ornate detailing, gold-accented signage, and a well-lit display window showcasing the boutique’s finest pieces. A set of tall, decorative doors will mark the entrance, symbolizing exclusivity and ensuring that every visit feels like stepping into a world of prestige. Subtle lighting and minimalist landscaping with neatly trimmed bushes or planters will add to the refined atmosphere.

What will be the uniforms for your shop ?
⋆ General Manager ⋆

The General Manager will wear tailored three-piece suits in deep black with refined gold accents. Their attire will feature a gold silk cravat or tie, a matching pocket square, and a vest with subtle gold detailing. The overall look will exude authority while maintaining an air of sophistication.

The ensemble will be completed with polished black leather shoes and discreet gold accessories, such as cufflinks or tie clips. This uniform will ensure they stand out while embodying the elegance of Maison Chevalier.

⋆ Sales Associates ⋆
Male sales associates will wear black vests over crisp white dress shirts, paired with tailored black dress pants. A gold silk tie or cravat will add a refined touch, matching the boutique’s signature color scheme. Their attire will reflect professionalism and luxury without being overly formal. Shoes will be polished black leather, and accessories will be minimal to maintain a sleek and modern appearance.

MALE SALES ASSOCIATE REFERENCE

Female sales associates will have the option of an elegant fitted dress or a skirt suit in black with gold accents. The design will be refined and professional, ensuring a polished yet comfortable look. For those preferring a more practical option, a black vest with tailored dress pants will be available. This alternative offers a sleek and functional style while maintaining a luxurious feel.

Maison Chevalier welcomes all customers, offering luxury jewelry to anyone who values fine craftsmanship. However, influential individuals, business elites, and high-status clients will have access to exclusive benefits such as private sales, custom commissions, and invitation-only events. While anyone can shop at the boutique, those with greater influence will find Maison Chevalier to be more than just a store: it will be a gateway to status, exclusivity, and unique opportunities.

What experience do you have that qualifies you to run this shop ?
I have extensive experience in shop management, customer service, and business operations, both in roleplay environments and real-world settings. On SchoolRP, I have worked in various shops, gaining knowledge of customer interactions, inventory management, and day-to-day business operations. I was a security guard at La Casa Nostra when it first opened and also provided security for a K-pop group event, which gave me firsthand experience in maintaining a welcoming yet secure atmosphere for customers.

Beyond SchoolRP, I have managed multiple shops on Garry’s Mod roleplay servers, where I was responsible for handling transactions, managing inventory, and ensuring smooth business operations. Additionally, as a recognized member of Immertreu, I have gained insight into the dynamics of shop ownership from a security and business perspective, learning how to maintain stability, forge valuable connections, and ensure long-term success.

I have been a part of the SchoolRP community since late 2018 - early 2019, giving me a deep understanding of how the server operates and what makes businesses thrive. While I have made mistakes in the past, they have taught me valuable lessons that have helped me grow as a player and refine my approach to leadership. My goal is to make Maison Chevalier a defining establishment in Karakura, offering both prestige and immersive roleplay experiences for the community.

What does your character look like ?
Émeric Chevalier stands at 5’11” (180 cm), his presence defined by a lean yet refined build that speaks of both discipline and sophistication. His dark brown hair is always neatly styled, though faint strands of silver have begun to show, subtle markers of experience rather than age. His sharp blue eyes remain ever observant, their unreadable nature adding to the quiet aura of calculation that surrounds him. There is an undeniable sense of control in his demeanor, a calm yet unwavering presence that commands attention without the need for excess.

His choice of attire reflects his understanding of refinement, favoring tailored suits in deep navy, black, and charcoal grey, each one meticulously fitted to complement his frame. Every detail of his appearance is carefully maintained, from the crispness of his collar to the subtle gleam of polished leather shoes. A simple yet elegant watch rests on his wrist, its understated design a testament to his appreciation for craftsmanship rather than ostentation. A signet ring bearing the Chevalier crest sits firmly on his finger, a quiet but deliberate nod to his heritage. His movements are measured, each step precise, exuding the kind of confidence that comes not from arrogance, but from an intrinsic understanding of power, luxury, and the weight of a name that carries meaning.

CHARACTER CONCEPT ART / DESIGN

Backstory
Émeric Chevalier was born in 1984 in Paris, France, into a family of master jewelers whose legacy spanned generations. Their atelier in Place Vendôme had long been a destination for royalty, aristocrats, and the elite, crafting pieces that symbolized status and refinement. From a young age, Émeric was surrounded by the meticulous artistry of fine jewelry, watching his father shape gold with steady hands and unmatched precision while his mother, an expert in gemstones, taught him to discern the finest rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. This world of luxury and craftsmanship fascinated him, but even as a child, he was drawn not just to tradition but to innovation.

While his father insisted that true mastery lay in time-honored techniques and handcrafted precision, Émeric was captivated by modern advancements. He explored new-age methods like laser engraving, contemporary metalworking, and minimalist design concepts, often clashing with his father's rigid beliefs. Determined to forge his own path, he pursued formal training at École Boulle, one of France's most prestigious jewelry design schools. There, he mastered metalworking, gem-setting, and the intricacies of haute joaillerie, developing a style that blended classical French elegance with cutting-edge creativity. His ambition led him further, earning a Master's in Gemology, refining his expertise in sourcing, appraising, and cutting gemstones with precision.

By 2012, Émeric had established himself as a respected jeweler in France, collaborating with renowned houses like Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels. His work catered to an exclusive clientele, but despite his success, he felt constrained. He wanted to push beyond the traditions of Parisian luxury and was particularly drawn to Japan, a country that embraced both simplicity and technical precision in its jewelry craftsmanship. His chance came when a wealthy Japanese businessman, Hiroshi Watanabe, commissioned a custom engagement ring. The design, a fusion of French artistry and Japanese subtlety, gained recognition among Tokyo's elite, leading Watanabe to offer Émeric a place in his boutique.

For 6 years, Émeric immersed himself in the world of Japanese craftsmanship, learning Mokume-gane, the ancient art of metal layering once used in samurai swords, and integrating rare materials like Hokkaido blue amber and Akoya pearls into his work. His pieces became highly sought after, securing his reputation among politicians, collectors, and business magnates. Yet, despite his success, he remained an outsider. No matter how deeply he understood the culture, he would never fully belong. What he truly desired was something of his own, his own atelier, his own brand, his own identity.

Through his connections, he learned of Karakura, a city where wealth was both old and newly made. He quickly recognized a gap in the market. While the city brimmed with affluence, it lacked a true luxury jeweler. This was more than an opportunity to sell jewelry, it was a chance to shape influence, to intertwine power and prestige into something tangible. In 2025, he established Maison Chevalier, not merely as a store but as a sanctuary of exclusivity, where craftsmanship met status, and where those who understood the weight of luxury could find exactly what they needed.

Émeric was well aware that in Karakura, jewelry meant more than just aesthetics. A necklace could signify generational wealth or serve as a discreet method of transferring assets. A ring might be a token of love or a silent message between those who operated in the shadows. He understood that true luxury was not just about beauty, it was about the stories it carried and the hands that exchanged it. And in Maison Chevalier, he was not just selling jewelry. He was selling power, influence, and the keys to a world that only a select few could ever hope to access.

What do your character plans for the future ?
Émeric Chevalier is a man who never stays complacent, always looking ahead, always calculating his next move. Maison Chevalier is only the beginning of what he envisions for himself in Karakura’s high society. His first priority is to establish it as the city's premier luxury jeweler, a destination reserved for those who understand that jewelry is more than an accessory. To him, each piece must be a symbol of status, influence, and power. A bracelet is not just gold and gemstones, it is a statement. A necklace is not just a decorative piece, it is a legacy worn for the world to see. His clientele will not be those who simply appreciate beauty but those who recognize the weight of what they wear.

However, Émeric is well aware that wealth is not always earned through honest means, and luxury has always been closely tied to those who operate beyond the limits of legality. He does not pretend otherwise. In Karakura, where money moves through both legitimate and concealed channels, jewelry is not just an art, it is a tool. Maison Chevalier is more than a business, it is an opportunity to serve those who understand the deeper value of discretion. He has no interest in petty crime or reckless dealings, but he sees the potential in facilitating untraceable exchanges, embedding hidden messages in custom designs, and creating a space where power is traded as effortlessly as diamonds and gold. A watch encrusted with rare gems may seem like nothing more than an indulgence, but to the right buyer, it could carry meaning that only a select few would ever recognize.

Despite the influence he is building, Émeric remains careful. He is not a reckless criminal, nor does he need to be. His hands stay clean, his role is simple. He provides a service, and those who understand its value will come to him. His clients range from business tycoons and politicians to old-money families and those who deal in matters better left unspoken. To some, Maison Chevalier will be nothing more than a luxury boutique, an elegant storefront catering to Karakura’s wealthiest residents. To others, it will be something much more, a sanctuary of exclusivity, a place where transactions go beyond jewelry, where deals are sealed with something far more lasting than a handshake.

Émeric does not just want to run a successful store, he wants to establish something greater. Maison Chevalier is not meant to be just another name in the city's luxury market. It is meant to be a place of power, a hub where influence, wealth, and secrecy intertwine. Whether it is a simple gift, a family heirloom, or something that carries an unspoken promise, every piece he creates is more than an object. It is a key to a world where those who understand its worth hold the advantage. And in a city where power is everything, Émeric has no intention of remaining just another player. He intends to be the one who sets the stage.

⋆ Additional notes about your application ⋆

I truly believe this shop has the potential to bring something exceptional to Karakura. At the moment, there is nothing in the city that offers fine jewelry or anything remotely close to it. This is a unique opportunity to introduce a new standard of luxury and prestige, shaping a society where status and refinement hold real value I believe I can do it!
