Activity Rating
Rating: ★★★★☆ (8 / 10)
A reasonable rating of my activity on the server would be an 8 out of 10. I am not perfect, as is no one, but I also tend to be fairly active. In my freetime, I spend the majority of it on SRP or working on things related to SRP such as tailoring or writing.

These are the times I am free everyday! I am also willing to bend times, as it is flexible, though I do know Shopkeepers make their own opening schedules. Another thing to note is that this schedule is mainly when I am free to physically be on the server. I am reachable via discord for any needs, including shop related business. I am generally free from 12:00pm (12:00) to 12:00am (0:00). However, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, I run College Swim Practice from 6:00pm (18:00) to 7:00pm (19:00). Usually 30 minutes before, I prep, and then settle down 30 minutes after.

I would like to formally acknowledge that if a shopkeeper is inactive, it’s expected to be demoted. It’s important to remain fairly active, especially on your faction character. In the case of any inactivity, I will always notify the faction lead (or use a discord bot depending on how the shopkeeper area functions).

CuddlyPandaLove
[College][B][Swim-Captain] Augustyne Thymefield (In Use)
This character is currently a newer addition, so her primary role is being the swim captain and ensuring all goes well. She hosts practices and hangouts, communicates with other sports members, and.. is a questionable force to be reckoned with.
[College][B] Sihyun Yiun (Benched)
Sihyun was my old College Swim Captain. Proving my dedication to playing a character, he has been around for quite some time. From debuting in Hoshino Productions, to Co-Captain of HS Swim, and now the Ex Captain taking a break from College Swim. He still does partake in things such as Hoshino, performing in events, taking interviews and so on.
[Grade-12] Kaijin Sumisu (Benched)
Meet the resident sink dweller, Kaijin Sumisu! My first character on SRP, she has experienced a broad scope on the server. From Family, to Mafia, to HS Swim Member, and Senior Employee. The one thing remaining is her extensive record, working in two shops: Umisachi & Tsuki no Umi. She has trained new members, worked during events and represented these shops when given the opportunity. She prides herself on being a Senior Employee in both shops, proud of how far everything has come.
[Grade-12] Hoshi Ai (Benched?)
I feel as though she is in between Benched & In Use Occasionally in recent times, however this is my beloved Hoshi Ai! She is my deeply lore written character with some of the most depth. A part of the biological Ai family, you do have to be active to some degree. Hoshi plays a major role in Gardening Club Event Planning, and is my gateway into the community of clubs.
[Rat] ‘Orange Chicken’ (In Use - Occasionally)
Ah yes, the council rat. Originally a gift from Dean AJ, he now has a physical form! I use this character to interact with the animal side of srp.. as well as the council of animals! He is the speaker of the rats, meaning the head of that section.
FaerTheFeared
[Psychiatrist] Avotra Vrezh (In Use)
Avotra is a peculiar individual. Straightforward with rarely anything to say. Akin to an NPC existing as a background character. Despite this, he is a lore written character who I utilize as my psychiatrist.
[Adult] Cinder Schneidewind (In Use)
Cinder is currently being played on my adult role on FaerTheFeared, however I’d be transferring her over for the shopkeeper role! She is a sweet individual and ex psychiatrist at Karakura Hospital. As of present, she has newly gained the job of Bartender for the shop, Seikatsu, which she applied to herself.
Faer025
Currently no active characters on this account (Minus Vanessa Vyper I have for temporary). Prior was Yusaku Fukuyu & Leila Heydari, as well as Cinder Schneidewind for a brief period!

What shop are you applying for?:
Shop Category: Other
Available Shops: Rotasu Music & Jaibatsume Cosmetics
I would like to rename the shop to Mukō no Kuni. I am aware Rotasu’s shop is on the Karakura pier, though Jaibatsume has no physical location (to my knowledge). I do not mind replacing either/or, depending on what’s suitable for the faction
Mukō (むこう) stands for the word “beyond.” Something that is far, the idea of a dreamer, just barely out of reach.
No (の) usually means “of” or “belonging to.” It’s a bridge word, one that doesn’t hold a particular weight in the entire meaning of Mukō no Kuni, yet is needed for proper formatting and logistical sense.
The last of this name meaning relates to the word Kuni. This is typically defined as “country” or “land.” Specific to the name of this shop, ”land” is utilized. Something physical, grounding and filled with life.
As a whole, Mukō no Kuni (むこうの国) has the intentional meaning of “The Land Beyond.” It associates with people’s dreams and aspirations, no matter if someone approves of a dreamer’s imagination. Fulfilling, enriched with life and very much real. Physical. Within reach. A welcoming home to anyone who seeks community and acceptance.

Why do you want to become a Shopkeeper?:
Why? That is a question that is asked to many applicants. I will start with the main things that are spoken on, and then my genuine differences to the average cliche. Perhaps it won't be, but I'd like to think my passion can be conveyed through my words and actions.
Community & Passion
Shopkeeper has always been in my sights. Not for the money, though it is a beneficial factor; but for the community and freedom that is given to the players. I set my sights upon it years ago, and frankly my friend Tenshi from Umisachi has inspired me to great lengths (don't tell her let me be mysterious). I've witnessed the trials of shops, and the creativity that comes from each and every owner. Shortly after I arrived in government all those years ago, Grace & Zack had left and gone for shopkeeper. These people, make me confident enough to express some of my creative ideas. I couldn't be more grateful. I've genuinely enjoyed the time I've had in all shops. For example that one time in Yeobo where a co-worker and I just began shouting advertizements at the cashier on a slow day. Perhaps I can mention the Tsuki no Umi pajama shift.. or the event where Volker slipped on ketchup (the halloween maze..). What about the Seikatsu opening where an employee chased Volker with a bokken- for legal reasons that didn't happen! Anywho, not to glaze but I wanted to display my appreciation for this section of SRP. I want to create a community that are invested in a united cause, and can have these fun memories for themselves.
Desires & Future
My character's future on srp. My future on srp. My future. This is important to me because I've taken an interest in the topic of this shop! In fact, being able to plan out events and exciting new alternatives to the regular shop workings. It has made me genuinely consider this as a career path for myself in real life, and I'd like to learn a bit more. Of course, it's not entirely the same. Never would claim that. Yet, there are still skills to be learned or enhanced in a place that operates with some aspects of a business. I'd like to explore this avenue for myself. As for my future on srp, I believe that being a shopkeeper will allow me to gain new experiences and roleplay scenarios that I have never encountered before. I want these opportunities more than anything, as interaction is a major part of this server. After all.. its called "Roleplay Hub" for a reason! My character would get so much beneficial development from this, and I don't want to miss out on a possible accurate lore route for her.
Skills
Ahah! I indeed have some skills that I think would be useful for a shopkeeper. For example, MATH. Yes, we all despise it (probably). The panel could do it for you but I know some shopkeepers record some things separately! Due to my IRL experience, I believe this will be a helpful part to being a shopkeeper. I've done both passing classes in accounting & business, and even carpentry.. that requires a lot of math ngl. Another aspect is my dedication. I wanted to speak on my experiences I gained for one purpose only; to show that I am serious about the opportunity, and wouldn't leave quickly. I am set in my decision to pursue this, and would love the chance. I'm meticulous, which does have to be somewhat there when having to be perceptive about shop inner workings & stock amounts. Communication is one of my greatest skills, being able to problem solve and work with & independently from people. I learn quickly, and this can help when I am initially being taught the ins and outs of shopkeeping on SRP.
What do you plan to do with your shop, and what makes it unique?:
“In a world where the noble cater to the public, where will your journey lead?”
Icon:
The heart of Mukō no Kuni outshines that of shadow, a vibrant shimmer of gold protruding in passionate pulses. An all encompassing hope, glimmering tantalizingly as a warm welcome to opportunity and dreams. Elegant scripture featuring the words “Mukō no Kuni” and kanji representing the shop with care.
Mukō no Kuni is an SRP Jewelry Shop that prides itself on its authenticity and creative mindset. Its theme revolves around inclusive fantasy. Founded in Karakura, Cinder Schneidewind returned to a piece of a missing childhood and founded the shop in the hope of reigniting passion, aspiration and inspiration.
Shop Collaborations
Encouraging shop collaborations is something I’d enjoy regardless of if they are deemed rivals in a business sense. Developing an integrated connection with those of the shopkeeper faction would be splendid. For example, Mukō no Kuni could collaborate with Kirei Hana to feature their plants inside the shop, ultimately placing a sign stating that every flower / plant has been purchased from Kirei Hana. A promotion and good comradery.
Innovative Quota System
Aside from the regular quota.. It got me thinking. Since this is a jewelry store, it’d be caked to the max with expensive items! What thug wouldn’t want a chance?? Well, I’ve decided I’d like to test out a new form of quota. I call it “Side Quota.” Security may be able to do night time patrols, with approval from the owner. Well.. what about staff?? Good news! They can also do cleaning of the shop as a side quota. It’s important to note that these side quotas cannot be the ONLY quotas done for 2 months. However, it can be used for 1 month as a contribution if done 8 times (twice per week). I’ve noticed shops don’t open enough sometimes to have everyone attend an opening, so I wanted to give them some more things to do and ensure activity. I believe this may also create roleplay among staff who may do it together (namely the security).
Shop Lore
Various shops have in-character reasons and motivations for why a shop has been created. However, what if in addition, the shop laid out a harrowing story layered through various openings that the customers can experience to spice up their lives? An elaborate tale sewn through harmony, friendship, deceit, betrayal and mystery. I’d like to rope people into a story that immerses SRP and ultimately forms more interaction in-character with staff, the shopkeeper and even amongst employees.
Events Among Co-Workers
Due to the emphasis on in-character interaction with both the public and one another, there will be events held solely for the employees like end of month parties or major accomplishment celebrations. You get on a sports team? Let the shopkeeper know! We’ll throw a party for you! There will also be in-character meetings and other fun activities to bring the community together.
Player-Employee Interactions
A large aspect that ties back to the shop lore is its overarching fantasy vibe. I’ve decided I’d incorporate more interactions with the community, and ways to get together for a purpose
~> Bounty Board
The first addition is my bounty board! Here, senior employees+ can post commissions for players to take on and work together with (Approved by the Owner of course). They would get a reward for the activity they completed such as yen. Employees who post these commissions can get their coworkers in on it to present a narrative if it’s a Mukō no Kuni mini event. I believe this will also keep my workers engaged!
~> Collaborative Storytelling & Character Creation
I’ve thought of an interesting way to have employees interact with my shop! How so? Well, there will be a general Mukō no Kuni plotline. However, I’ve made a section where you can create your own characters! I have seen many yearn for FantasyRP to return, and I think this would be a good opportunity to expand on. Once their character proposal is approved, they can begin using them for openings. I also believe that this could even be beneficial for those who use figura. Of course, the skin must stand out on its own, however figura could be allowed (has to be approved too) to accentuate a character’s features. For example, say I wanted my character to cosplay a Tiefling. I could use figura to add animated horns and tail for those who have it. Nothing that should affect the overall design of the character should be used as the figura. I want regular players to be able to distinguish the characters fairly! To emphasize, this would follow SRP’s rules where every character made for the shop would be an IC cosplay technically
If they wanted powers, they’d have to think of logical ways to have them come to life! You want water bending powers? Have a hose in your sleeve.. or maybe you want fire? What about NO.. I can’t burn my shop down now guys… but maybe you could use a blowtorch. I did NAWT condone that
Differences to Other Shops
One could argue that there are various fantasy esc shops. Tsuki no Umi, a pirate themed restaurant, with a light theme of jazz. Pinkumo with its own story driven characters and Umisachi with some more undersea journeys of its own. Indeed, they are whimsical and have their own charm. However, they aren’t solely focused on fantasy, and the core of medieval charm. Tsuki no Umi would be the closest to the theme, yet also is a restaurant. Pirates were also a real thing, and of course in my shop there would be too, but I will be incorporating things that didn’t exist. Like different races! Let your imagination run wild. It will be lore focused just as much as the operation aspect.
Miscellaneous Ideas
~> Employee Corruption
Now, this is just an idea, however I’d like to make more use of KPD’s theft charges, and be able to have more roleplay opportunities. How would this work? Well, it would be allowed for only ONE trusted individual in the shop. The money wouldn’t come out of business expenses, just the residual money I would obtain personally. It wouldn’t be an atrociously large amount due to the fact that you’d instantly get caught. I want to give it a fair chance. I would also let them know there would be a possibility of an arrest if they are caught IC for the crime. Depends how Cinder feels!
~> Shop Surveys! (Anonymous & Non-Anonymous ones)
Perhaps this is just me, yet I haven’t seen a shop ask the employees how they feel it is running. I’d like to cultivate an open space to discuss the operations of the shop and comfortability of all employees. In order to make individuals feel as though they can come forward without repercussion, there will be a set of anonymous shop surveys among the ones that collect your IGN. If there are issues with this process, the concept of anonymity will be removed (trolling, etc).
Within your shop, what are some examples of the atmosphere & aesthetic you would like to convey?:
Aesthetic & Build
The general build and aesthetic I’d like to go for is a fantasy castle theme with various sections of foliage! A welcoming homey vibe inside the slightly outdated architecture
It’s to note that this could be subject to change depending on guidance from builders / faction lead, however below I have a google document with my general ideas
There are Tabs for each section!
Link: Will be sent to DMs! (To sak)
Let us live the Bridgerton dream !! (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )づ♡
~> About Jeweler Booth & Contracts
Have ya noticed it? I’ve added another fun way to interact with our shop! That’s right, I’d like to make an occasionally operational Jeweler Booth, where players can test the authenticity of their jewelry. More is stated on the devices used in the doc. The player will /it the result, whether it is fake or not. However.. we don’t want people to lie to us just to get a free lawsuit!
In order to avoid this, I’d like to make contact with town hall. In my previous experience as Lawyer Head of Department, I was allowed to form specialized contracts when given the explicit approval from the mayor at the time. Although it has switched hands, I would like to reach out to this faction in-character and attempt to get a contract that would be legally sound. How would it work? Well these contracts would be written in a book, that the character has to sign before the testing can occur. The employee will then print a copy and hand it to them, while storing the original in a chest behind them. I believe this would be a fun town hall interaction to navigate, and ultimately benefit the shop from legal proceedings regarding a “faulty scan.”
~> Possible Desired Locations
I would like my own office if possible with a file room to siphon these completed contracts to after a bit. The idea for other rooms would be a general area and fit for 2-3 cashiers
~> Other
A final idea I had would be to do something kind of like I noticed Daisuki does, though not quite. I’ve noticed signs around, and regular shops do this for hiring, custom collection, etc. Yet, I want to bring life to my shop! Therefore I think it’d be creative to have fun facts around. Whether this be about the shopkeeper, the shop itself or even some playful ones about employees. Also preferably when the signs for items are placed, the rings & pins could be closer to the cashiers like you’d see in one of those desktop display cases.
Mukō no Kuni Sign Example:
I can even be the one to add these if needed
Music: Watch2gether
I’d have a watch2gether occasionally! This would feature mystical songs with various instruments, potential atmosphere noises, and even perhaps this lovely violinist that plays game & anime themes players could recognize!
Uniforms
Mukō no Kuni uniforms are meant to represent a small nobility, however it can differ based on the approved character you play (if you play one). I will allow minor personalization of the outfits (I have to approve it & make the change myself). The uniform will remain relatively the same and recognizable.
It’s to note that I will also be tailoring these! I picked things I am sure I can do <3
What other events could be run at your shop?:
Most Recent Ideas
Battle of the Musicians
I’ve noticed many rising stars in Karakura, and I’d like to host an event where some can get into competitive spirit! The theme would probably more instrumental music to fit Mukō no Kuni’s theme, however in this mini tournament groups of people will compete live on stage. For example, a violin duet of two sides battling against each other (as if two songs were battling over the spotlight), etc! I may decide to open it for whatever type of band wants to tryout, though would state no bias can come - only the music will tell the tale. Logistics need a bit more planning but I think direct ‘battles’ would be fun and engaging rather than following the cliche regular performance format! Let’s hope the glass won’t shatter.. (it probably will but that could be a funny conclusion to the event).
Seasonal Storefront Competitions
It’s a holly jolly- April? Well! I believe that this event could spice some things up and bring a slight competitive spirit to the holidays. In this event, each shop would have their storefront decorated for the season. An example would be like a snowman in winter. The judge could be the shop lead, my shop (which would be exempt is so), or even perhaps government could be brought in. We could also see if event team would like to use a [?] character for say a mainland inspector on ratings. Who knows! Either way, I think this would be fun
Secret- Shopkeeper??
No more secret Santa! This would be a small event shift where shopkeepers switch shops.. confusing the workers and customers alike. #GaslightTillNoTomorrow. Def was the shopkeeper the entire time.
Shop Features
Pirate Invasion: Tsuki no Umi Collaboration
RRR! Wait I’m not supposed to be the pirate. Anywho! The general idea of this collaboration is to get Tsuki no Umi involved with Mukō no Kuni. Seems meant to be with the wording huh? Together they’d host an event where Mukō no Kuni is overrun with pirates! Help employees escape their wrath and win some prizes.. then enjoy a lovely shopkeeper funded (me) buffet! Sounds like a STEAL to me. Ok sorry I’ll leave.. anywho it could also be integrated into Mukō no Kuni’s story and lore. Win win, no?
Sleepover Camp: Daisuki Yohin Collaboration
When I think of wilderness, I tend to think of Daisuki Yohin for its signature camping and fishing supplies. This is why I think an event with them could definitely work out with Mukō no Kuni! Whether it’s just for the workers, that’s alright, but it would essentially be an overnight camping where the aesthetic of the shop is slightly altered to make things more shrouded. Mukō no Forest.. at this point. However we’d do traditional camping things and perhaps some cool activities! Encounter strange beasts and so on..
This idea is a bit vague but I would love to collaborate with Daisuki Yohin on something nature esc
Club Features (Private & Public Events)
These are general ideas that can be expanded! The point is to encourage people to join the clubs, and to show them what they are really about as I feel like clubs aren’t spoken about enough (and only really quietly active besides the recent additions of club server wide events!)
Cooking Club: Cooking Club could help cater to an event Mukō no Kuni is having, showcasing their skills in the kitchen and promoting the club to the community
Music Club: Need a stylish performance?! I’m quite sure Music Club can do that! I’d like to showcase them in any event we need entertainment
Gardening Club: Perhaps a plant care assessment?! Maybe some teachings on proper plant care.. or they just snip some foliage in Mukō no Kuni.. Making it weird shaped. Either way, I definitely think they can help with the amount of foliage Mukō no Kuni has, and I don’t mind collaborating on any fun ideas gardening related
Photography Club: Lights.. camera.. ACTION. These skilled individuals will be there to snap fresh images of events, or even possibly official Mukō no Kuni meetings. Either way, they’d help a ton in recording a memory in style!
Other Clubs can also be collaborated with, these are just some
Music Club: Need a stylish performance?! I’m quite sure Music Club can do that! I’d like to showcase them in any event we need entertainment
Gardening Club: Perhaps a plant care assessment?! Maybe some teachings on proper plant care.. or they just snip some foliage in Mukō no Kuni.. Making it weird shaped. Either way, I definitely think they can help with the amount of foliage Mukō no Kuni has, and I don’t mind collaborating on any fun ideas gardening related
Photography Club: Lights.. camera.. ACTION. These skilled individuals will be there to snap fresh images of events, or even possibly official Mukō no Kuni meetings. Either way, they’d help a ton in recording a memory in style!
Other Clubs can also be collaborated with, these are just some
Prior Ideas
These are some ideas I had in my old unmarked application. It’d be good to check them out
A Regal Visit
Oh no! Is that a discount princess? Visiting Mukō no Kuni seems to be all your wildest dreams. From Areal to Cinderstella! Say, you only like men? Gastoon has arrived. Maybe you prefer small cute companions like Olaugh? Regardless, a meet and greet is exactly the type of thing Mukō no Kuni can offer!
During this event people may take photos with the individuals and even participate in fencing!
How will the fencing work though??
Good question! First, a roll of 20 to see who starts. The highest roll begins. That person then rolls 100. If it is higher than the opponent’s roll, it’s a hit. If it’s lower than the target’s roll, they successfully defend / dodge / you miss (be creative). For the sake of SRP simplicity and efficiency, the one who reaches 3 hits on the opponent will win the match. You may participate in this with friends or challenge one of the boot-leg nobles to a round!
Fashion Week
Emphasized by the archaic glow of the runway is the carefully crafted fabrics of apparel made from a seamstress’ sewn heart. Woven with passion, a showcase is present in Mukō no Kuni to honour the hard work and dedication of these young designers.
During this event I’d work with official & non official tailoring businesses to produce a fashion show under a theme that everyone can attend. It would both promote the models and designers. I’d like to incorporate tailoring businesses more icly, as well as hire their services for photography and such more frequently which could be used in an event such as this. To incentivize, I could throw in some rewards! This can also lend well to things like Euphoria’s magazines, showing off the product in person and truly elevating the tailoring businesses in-character!
Masquerade
Masked in secrecy, a ball is called forth. As the melody strums in the looming dusk, the comradery strengthens both its bonds and bounds. Delve into a mystical rhythm accompanied by the harmonizing beat of Mukō no Kuni’s staff.
I’d preferably require a builder to provide some space within Mukō no Kuni, however I’d love a mini event where consumers can get to know the Mukō no Kuni staff in a fun intriguing environment. There would be games for entertainment, songs and more.
Animals on the loose!
Wooden doors splinter with a deafening CRACK. A stampede bolts from outside the ruined gates of Mukō no Kuni. The castle appears to be in turmoil, distressed with not a steed to its name.
It seems the horses got loose again. Can’t you train them? Well, in this event, people would be tasked with retrieving those pesky horses on the map. Seems silly right? Well that’s the point! Once all horses are returned, a discount is given out collectively with a few deals like buy one get one free! A discount for your troubles. Of course, an advertisement will be made once they’ve been returned.
[ADVERT] NEIGH, OPEN / MUKŌ NO KUNI. Apologies, the horses got on the intercom. ALL HAVE BEEN FOUND! Please make your way to Mukō no Kuni for a 10% DISCOUNT and SPECIAL buy one get one free DEAL! Don’t wanna miss this
Ideally I’d like event team members to be able to help with this catastrophe

What kind of events would your shop sell at?
The kinds of events that Mukō no Kuni would sell our goods at is any form of love related event, like dances and what not. Any Gala would be an amazing experience to host a booth, or perhaps something like the renfaire that happened in more recent times. I’d use more earthy jewelry collections for that! There are various situations where jewelry could fit into server events.
What will you sell in your shop?:
Now you may ask, what would differentiate a jewelry shop from a Gifts & Accessory shop? Well, the first differentiation is what they sell. Mukō no Kuni would focus solely on anything that can be classified as jewelry. Even more niche types like bracelets, or belly piercings. I’m aware some people may even want to see mouth piercings or nose piercings in specific, rather than a full set. I’d like to cater to that
Item Types:
- Chokers
- Chains (Like the ones that wrap around a wrist but aren’t exactly bracelets)
- Bracelets
- Necklaces
- Piercings (Belly Piercings, face piercings, nose piercings, mouth piercings)
- Earrings
- Rings
Other Potential Item Types:
- Pins (like the French one)
- Tableware, plates and tea cups (Elegant porcelain & glass only)
- Watches..?
Now how would I store these items? Well, typically Shops have chests with the designated location on them. This also helps with the Panel. I would group them as the following:
- Necklaces & Chokers
- Piercings & Earrings
- Bracelets & Chains
- Rings
- Miscellaneous (Any of the potential item list for now)
I’d also like to do seasonal specialties potentially, where there’s limited time items in shop geared towards a specific season aesthetic. Perhaps players can even speak to me about their custom being one of those seasonal customs if they fit the theme!
What about current shop customs?
Ah yes! When replacing a shop, there is sometimes customs that come along with it. I do have an option for this aspect
1. I could let go of the customs, and refer them to respective stores where they may be more suitable
2. Create a small dedicated section to honour the store prior and maintain selling the customs
I feel the most plausible answer would be the first act, as it would most likely sell better there than in a jewelry shop (depending the custom).
What ideas for customs / products do you have for your shop?:
Mukō no Kuni is open to the public in terms of jewelry related customs for the shop. However, there are a few ideas I have for Mukō no Kuni branded customs (signature customs) and other general ones I’d get for the store

Official Signature Customs of Mukō no Kuni
Fun fact: In lore, these are self-made jewelry Mukō no Kuni sells to the public. They are not manufactured.
- Ring “Mukō no Kuni”
- Hairpin “Flutter”
I am willing to buy the customs to enhance the shop and I’m open to suggestions! Before getting a new custom item, I would ask the employees which they’d like to see in the shop from a set of photos. The one(s) voted on the most I would then purchase to sell in the shop.
What roles will there be in your shop?:
Hierarchy
The roster consists of a whole new set of names for a fun little twist on shop life!
Queen (Owner)
The job of the Queen is to run the shop to the best of their abilities, as well as restocking the merchandise, delegating tasks, overseeing staff and accounting for the profit & salary owed during service. This will be left to me, the Shopkeeper.
Royal Advisor (Co-Owner)
The job of the Royal Advisor is to operate as the shopkeeper in my stead. With great power comes great responsibility, and thus a trustworthy individual must be appointed to retain order yet freedom. We want things running smoothly & the shop to be an enjoyable atmosphere!
Manager
The job of the manager is to oversee their division and aid the Queen with tasks that involve the staff & guards, namely training. These are trusted individuals who have proven their dedication to the shop and/or owner. There will be one for each kind of worker (Employee & Security). Both managers have the authority to oversee the shop in case the Royal Advisor cannot.
Seneschal (Manager of Employees)
The manager of the staff department specializes in the training of regular workers. This revolves around how to be a cashier, how to work the shop panel and conduct as a member in Mukō no Kuni. This information will be passed to the Seneschal via the Queen upon recruitment / promotion.
Marshal (Manager of Security)
The manager of the guard department specializes in the training of the security workers. This ranges from situations that may occur in the shop and ways to diffuse & remove the issue amicably. This information will be passed to the Marshal via the Queen upon recruitment / promotion.
Courtier (Senior Employees)
The majority of shops name these “Senior Employees,” however what if we added some spice and changed that to Courtier? This role is designed to provide staff & guards a means of promotion. It honours their hard work and dedication to the shop, giving them something to strive for and stay interested.
There are 2 slots for each department.
Staff (Employees)
The job of staff is to run an individual lane in the shop, operating as a cashier. They receive an order, retrieve it from the back and give the purchaser the item after the profit is received. They are in charge of customer service and returning the money owed to the shopkeeper, whilst also maintaining the right to gain money from a hard day’s work.
Employees have varying pay depending on the amount made during service; however it is always equal amongst the workers present that shift.
Guards (Security)
The job of guards is to protect the store from unwanted attention or pesky customers that put up too much of a fuss! They watch over the store and make sure everyone inside is delighted and safe; especially the staff. They are in charge of removing oncoming threats and diffusing situations. Honorable knights indeed!
Security has a set amount of 30,000¥ paid to them. This is guaranteed every shift, a differing factor from staff.
Herald (Shop Animal / Mascot)
Ah but what is a castle without a frog? Kidding! Though, preferably a frog or something along those lines. The job of the Herald is to just.. be cool? Essentially roam the shop for fun. This will not be a paid position as of current, as the shop animal wouldn’t be doing any specific operation necessary activities.
Additional Interesting Feature
If available slots, Guards & Staff may apply to switch departments after these requirements are met:
- Been in their department for 2 months OOCLY
- Worked a total of 4 shifts
- Applications aren’t near (Occasional free slots, not an abundance or application date stated)
The requirements are subject to change, however I’d like to include this feature of department transitions to allow exploration of the shop & create renewed interest.
Can a Herald switch into a guard or staff position?
Unfortunately not, they will have to apply when applications open up. They may remain as Herald until their application is accepted, however they would lose this position in exchange for staff or guard.
Shop Operation Questions
How many workers can be on shift?
3 Staff
2 Guards
If more than 3 people say they can attend service, to create a fair opportunity, a wheel will be spun to decide who may come to that particular opening.
Those who have not done a shift recently will be prioritized, however. The above paragraph relates to if all are in this category.
Can you work multiple shifts in a row?
This depends how low on staff we are. If there are only a few people who haven’t worked this month, say 2 staff, a 3rd staff can work even if they have. It may also depend on if I fill in for that slot.
Are shifts first come first serve?
This is subject to change, however the current answer is no. If low on people, I will not deny those who wish to aid. I’d like to give everyone a chance to work a shift, and if the first people to react to a message were to get the opening every time, it may make this unfair.
How do I use the SRP Shop Panel?
Good question! First, you’ll need to give me the name of your Shop Panel Account. If you don’t have one yet, I’d hand you over a link. Once approved, you will be able to see Mukō no Kuni’s shop interface.
On a staff end, the workers will be seeing some statistics. However, the main focus should be on the right hand side in the upper corner. This tells you if a shift is active, which determines if you can log anything. Sometimes you may need to refresh it if you’re on the panel when the shopkeeper opens the shift..
Now shift your attention to the left side where there is an option to go to the ‘Sell’ portion of the shop. Here you can search for items. They have the name, location, stock amount and price on them. If you click the small box icon, it will add one of said item over to the right where a collection of the items the customer wants is shown (that you’ve selected).
It will automatically add a total, and even alter it if a discount is checked off. After you receive payment in character, you will submit on the panel and continue with any other customers. It’s important to note each customer’s orders must be recorded, and separately. In the bottom right will be your personal statistics needed for logging the shift later.
This will be taught in VC with screenshare.
How long are Mukō no Kuni shifts?
Usually SRP shifts last for approximately one hour out of character, though it ranges. This is to allow players the time to get over to the shop, and look around. I will also be following this general time range when I look to host openings.
How would I log my shift?
An overview of the opening will be sent in a channel on discord. That being said, I will need some confirmation:
Staff / Employees
In order to correctly log shifts, the job of Staff will be to provide screenshots in a designated channel (money owed logs). The proof needed is as follows; Shop Panel Personal Stats & Payment to Shopkeeper.
Guards / Security
This will be handled by the shopkeeper mainly, however to solidify this I’d take a screenshot of my payment to the individual(s), posting them in money owed logs myself.
Would you announce shifts ahead of time?
In addition to a schedule feature, all openings will be privately announced earlier within the day to allow ample time to react to the message! I’d like employees to be aware beforehand and not have the opening be urgent. You never know what people are up to! Best to plan ahead

Although the total employees comes to a resounding 23, I am confident in my ability to operate a team. The number of each role was gauged based upon the amount required per shift. Subject to adjustment if need be.
What discounts will be present at your store?
These may change with time.
Mukō no Kuni Employee Discount
This is a 10% discount for all workers in Mukō no Kuni. If there is another discount on at the time, the two stack and create an even more affordable purchase for our loyal employees!
Courtier Special Discount
To inspire people for promotion, I’ve decided to offer higher discounts to Courtiers. Their discount will be set at 15%.
Alternating Discounts
I would like to introduce real world Japanese sales discounts that occur
Seasonal (Summer, Winter, etc)
There are most frequently summer & winter discounts to clear out stock. With the continued seasonal products, this may come in handy if there are residual items left over. This discount may be 10%. Of course this doesn’t exclude natural holidays around those times as well!
Golden Week
Golden week is a large staple in Japanese history! It spans from April 29th to May 5th where there are various holidays within. I would enjoy dedicating a discount for openings within this period, emphasizing real Japanese holidays. The discount would be 20%.
Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day in Japan is on February 14th per usual. This day is when a woman gifts a man chocolates to express her feelings to him. These can vary from ones meant for friendship, business or romance. I would also possibly open up specials this day with different names noting the different meaning types. However! Despite not having chocolate, jewelry is often a kind of romantic gift. Thus I’d like to open this day for any gender, and the discount would be 15%.
White Day
March 14th, marks White Day. This is the day a man would reciprocate gifts to a woman. Usually this would be any kind of gift, typically worth more than the value of the woman’s gift on Valentine’s Day. This day would also be open for any gender, and the discount would be 15%.
How would you go about hiring and promoting people?:
Hiring
How to get a job? Oh well no worries about that! Mukō no Kuni will be rather vocal. A message will be posted in the shop-adverts channel of the Karakura Town discord with a screenshot of an in-game advertisement. The alert on both discord & in-game will state Mukō no Kuni is hiring. Upon heading to the shop, an application in the form of a Google form will be handed out. They will also be directed to join the shop discord. Similar to other shops, Mukō no Kuni will hold two in-character interview periods as a means to interact with the community more.

Promotion
Ever wanted the opportunity to interact with your shopkeeper more? Well now is the time! Promotions in my shop will feature an in-character promotion process once announced oocly in the shop discord. Together, a planned time will be set where the shopkeeper calls the employee in to speak about their job and position. This will increase productivity of the shop whilst maintaining communication between the shopkeeper and their employees. I’d like people to interact more often with co-workers and higher-ups. A fun little addition I haven’t seen in shops besides in-character interviews relating to application hiring.
How will your advertisements look?:
The majority of advertisements will feature 2-3 items in stock at Mukō no Kuni as well as noting the shop’s opening status. With guidance by shopkeepers & the shop lead, I'm sure I can get better at advertising! They would have colour codes & formatting in-game

Discord Plans?:
I would make my own discord server, and ensure the faction lead has the appropriate roles. In fact, I do have an example server I have partially set up
Link: This will also be sent in DMs <3 (To sak)
Schedule
This channel features a monthly calendar posted by the shopkeeper to notify the public of possible times the shop can be expected to be open. It may also prepare employees in case they would like to plan to attend an opening. Times are subject to change. On the information forum post for shops it does state 12 openings per month, though I have not witnessed that many as far as I know. Below is an example of a schedule, and I recognize the shop would need to be made first so it technically couldn’t function yet.

How do you determine times to open?
These will mostly be selected by the shopkeeper, however I’d try to keep timezones in mind. I may occasionally send out a mandatory lettucemeet that allows the employees to note their GENERAL availability (like regular schedule). It will aid in choosing times suitable for the majority of staff and provide insight on possible times for those with differing timezones to attend. There is NO guarantee I’d use it frequently, I just may check in briefly if there are issues with getting members to arrive, etc.
Who does the current time placement benefit?
As noted in the schedule, its centred around my time (EST). Usually, the majority of the people on the server I find to be either in this timezone, or earlier (PST, CST, etc). Based on this, if I were to run on the weekend, it'd most likely be in the afternoon for these individuals. For timezones closer to EST, it would be roughly around when players may arrive home from any classes they attend. In fact, the server tends to awaken more-so around this time from my observation. For those in BST, it'd make the time 9-10pm. Although that is fairly late, sometimes this is an acceptable case or just on the cusp of the maximum time they'd stay up. Unfortunately for AEST, these times aren't the most friendly. However if they are to stay and be accepted knowing the schedule, they will need to wake up early to maintain quota requirements. I know for some this is okay as on my team I've had AEST members wake up for 5-6pm EST, but I also understand it is a hard thing to do.

Which character will you be using as Shopkeeper?:
Full Name: Cinder Schneidewind
Cinder sounds quite explanatory doesn’t it? Well, this is an English origin name that can mean ‘wood’ or ‘low burning ash.’ Both can make sense for the character, and thus she was named Cinder.
Schneidewind is a name of German origin. It combines snīden, which means ‘to cut’ with the word ‘wind.’ Together, the surname could mean ‘to cut the wind.’ This is the meaning I chose directly for this character when naming her.
The name in its entirety would therefore potentially mean ‘low burning ash to cut the wind.’ This describes her initial quelled passion, no longer flaming but still present in heat. This is all she would need to cut the carbon dioxide wind that suppressed that once ever growing fire. Her journey is about understanding who she is beyond what she was made to be, and tackling the hurdles of navigating broken relationships.

Marital Status: Single as a Pringle
Appearance:
 Art credits: luculencial |
The woman stood at a striking 5’9 stature, long light brown hair cascading past her sturdy shoulders. In some glimpses, those locks appear almost a ginger hue. Contrasting this was the crystal blue gaze that cast upon all those she laid eyes upon. She maintained a warm smile, one that not even the world could shake. Traveling up her left leg and to her waist / abdomen was a large tree that was visible on both front and back sides of her frame. An incredibly important tattoo to her it seemed. As she speaks, her hands appear to wave around a bit. This is where those deep oceanic blue nails take presence, along with a peculiar irregular star shaped birth mark near her right inner elbow. Aside from physical features, Cinder has some accessories! Namely the ball point snake bites that rest in her lower lip, or the piercing of her right eyebrow in metallic silver.
Minecraft Skin:
Come on.. the creeper is iconic, I had to!
How will being a Shopkeeper benefit the character in question?
Cinder is a passionate individual who once believed being a medical professional was what she was meant to be. This caused distance between her older brother, Volker Schneidewind, as her parents favoured her path compared to him. This is important because underneath it all, Cinder had her own dreams. She would be caught up in studying, never reaching out to make friends or experience life from an imaginative perspective. This is why Mukō no Kuni would be incredibly important to her. Not only could she re-experience the joy she missed of childhood, but also support those who need a creative outlet or haven’t had the opportunity to experience this themselves.
It is no secret that Cinder was terminated from EMS after a meeting dispute of sharing her opinion (All IC disagreements & such !! Live laugh love Fred). This made her further determined to return to the workforce and offer help to those in need. She still has to navigate understanding who she is outside of her psychiatrist position, as she truly believed that was the only thing she could do. Yet.. as she put thought into life, the woman realized she had a small flame for providing a safe community to interact with, and interest in jewelry. She wants to be the best employer the world has ever seen. With that, a determined fire ignited.
In short, this would incredibly benefit Cinder as a character, as she explores her meaning in life and what it takes to deviate from pre established pressures.
She wants to help the community, will you let her?
