Describe your activity on the server:
Due to my current having no obligations right now, I'm currently able to get on the server at practically anytime time as long as I'm awake. I'm usually on four or more hours a day regardless of weekend/weekday.
❁ PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
The majority of my time on the server is spent detail RPing with friends or running amuck. I really enjoy creating lore, settings, and starting drama for the sake of entertainment and character development. It's always a lot of fun to plan something big out and have it blossom into fruition! I've been playing on the server since roughly 2017-2018 (of course with breaks) and have met a lot of different people in my time that I still talk to today. I've somehow managed to stick with this server that long mainly due to my own interest in storytelling and need for creation and I don't intend on leaving anytime soon.
❁ FACTION EXPERIENCE
I've only recently begun my experience in factions, starting around six months ago in faculty. I was a history teacher for a long while. It was a lot of fun being able to have that role because it opened up a lot of new situations and scenarios to experience. Everyone involved was an absolute joy to interact with to, and I loved the chaos that came with teaching classes. I left a few months later to try something new, where I eventually joined the bobcat female football team. It was my first time being directly involved in JockRP and it was DEFINITELY an experience, however I a few months later due to wanting to focus on other things like my IC family and gang. I met many many unique individuals through here and got introduced to a lot of different aspects of the community, some bad and some good. My main take away from my time on the team was coordinating and cooperation, I really enjoyed making things for the team such as our thanks giving hats and cardigans and overall just goofing around together. I've found that factions are a lovely way to form new connections and experiences.
❁ COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE
Most of my time on the server is spent in OOC and IC communities, whether that be joining a shop as an employee, gangs, religions, families, tailoring, building, and so on. I started tailoring as early as I can remember, I don't think I've ever ordered a skin for the server until just this year. I've learned a lot from this such as managing people and my work as well as allotting myself time to work on things. I've had to set boundaries and better my communication as I've done this, especially as real life things came up there would be times where I am slow on orders, such as now. As for building, it's mainly a hobby for me and I often help my friends or groups I'm in with interior or exterior. I've learned to adapt with peoples vision and understand them better while doing this because there were ALOT of times where things I'd make just wouldn't be what people had in their head, even if they didn't explain it right I'd only want them to have what they paid and or asked for.
As for the rest, I've had my place in multiple gangs and families. As of right now I've been focusing on the ones I have with my friends including events, advertising, organizing and trying to keep everyone engaged and active. It's been a lot and I still have a long way to go but if there is anything I love it's being able to add to others experience.

Shop Information
What shop are you applying for?:
I am applying for the accessory shop, 'Higanbana'. I absolutely adore the name and think it would be perfect for the elegant-leaning theme I have in mind!
Why do you want to become a Shopkeeper?:
My main motivation for becoming Shopkeeper is promoting aesthetics and supplying new, unique custom items I intend on ordering with money I get from commissions or doing commissions for customs. I love love love fashion and keeping up with trends, even if said trends are only found on the server. Not only that but the character I intend on using for the shopkeeper position is a boujie Chinese grandma- The Yû family Matriarch- who practices Shintoism, and I intend to use her traits and such to push the shops image.
Continuing on, I love the business and money aspect of SRP. The idea of running a business, advertising, managing, finances, and all of that jazz is not a new thing for me. Although very different from owning a shop, I excel in managing business aspects of gangs, worked at other shopkeepers stores, and have and still am helping manage verified businesses. Although there will be a lot to learn with the position, I don't believe I'll have any trouble doing so and am very open to learning what is needed and what I can do to run things more efficiently!
What do you plan to do with your shop, and what makes it unique?:
My plan for my shop is to make it lean towards traditional Chinese and Japanese wear/accessories, such as Kanzashi, Jiaos, Phoenix Hairpins, Gui masks, tarot cards, paper umbrellas, cute teacups, jade jewelry, and so on and so forth. Something I don't think I have seen yet. The main point with be elegance and gracefulness- but along side that, there will be a focus on trendy items and supplying new trendy items.
There will be a mix between tradition and modernity, producing what is already known and done while also creating new things! I want to listen to the community, what sort of accessories have you not seen before that you would like to? What do you want more of? What is it that you prefer in terms of accessories? These sort of things can be new piercing sets, jewelry sets in general, such as multiple bracelets within one item, ushankas, bows, sailor caps, chokers, etc. Of course these items will have to be implemented over a course of time E.G. when I or other people who help out can afford them.
The uniform will consist of two versions of traditional Chinese wear. The following hanfu with the longer torso is considered the male version but it'll be encouraged to wear whichever the employee prefers. The shop is a mixture of Chinese and Japanese culture with the owner, Yu Nainai, being Chinese meanwhile living in Japan.

I believe that events and special opportunities are a good way to market, as unique circumstances attract people! Some ideas I have for these circumstances are as follows;
❁ TAROT READINGS
During an opening, the shop will provide (short- one care for times sake) tarot readings on a customers future for a small price, either done by a maiden, priest, or someone experienced in the field. The person doing the tarot will keep 75% of their earn.
❁ GEISHA VISITOR
A player, whether that may be employee or volunteer will preform an act inspired by traditional Geisha, which may consist of Gagaku and or Buyo as well as Koto playing. Or they can involve the audience, such as hosting an open ozashiki asobi for people to observe and join in on.
❁ DISCOUNTS
A tale as old as time.. The store will provide occasional discounts for the changing of the seasons or factions, such as EMS, government workers, shrine staff, faculty, as well as college student discounts during exam season.
❁ A SPOOKY VISITOR..?!
Perhaps a ghost sneaked in and decided to terrorize the customers! Our poor reputation.. This can be advertised by.. using advertisements! Such as an eery cut off, noises, the entity cutting it off, so on and so forth.
... And there will only be more.

Higanbana will have a large focus on traditional Chinese and Japanese accessories and items, not to forsake trendy items, however. I also intend to supply new in-demand accessories and items! Some ideas are as follows;
❁ HAIRPIN; Misty Bonsai
Just a regular hairpin with a cute tassle!
❁ HAIR CLIPS: Floral Pearlescents
This will be placed on the back of the players head, spanning from the middle of the head to the end with dangling pearls!
❁ HAIR PIECE: Spring Shower
This would be placed on the back of the players head, merged on the top/back of the head in the very center to allow for an actual bun the on the skin.
❁ SCARF: Dream Garden
A flowy scarf that would be wrapped around the players midsection to what would be their elbows, ending at the beginning of their legs. Based off of those dramatized flowy bits you've seen in manhua
❁ BRACELET: Jade
A staple! This would be placed nearing the end of the player's arm both off and on hand.
❁ PIERCINGS: Snake bites
Your standard pair of silver snake bites for the public! This would be placed in the middle of the last pixel of the player's face.
❁ USHANKA: Polarity
A fuzzy ushanka for the Slavic-Doll aesthetic inspiree's. Would be put just above the brow area on the players head.
NECKLACE: Love Killz
Just a cute, basic, pink necklace!

As much as I focus on the aesthetic and theme I also want to give the community what they want! I intend on doing this with in character or out of character surveys as explained previously.
How many employees do you plan to have?:
I intend on having a maximum of thirty-five employees unless its found that more are needed.
The positions within the shop will be as follows;
店主 ❁ OWNER [1]
Responsible for how the shop is managed, ran, and promoted, the shopkeepers are what make the shop.
经理 ❁ MANAGER [2]
Responsible for enforcing the way the owner wants the shop to be ran. Practically the most trusted employees.
收银员 ❁ CASHIER [15]
R They are responsible for giving the customer the item they paid for and doing it with a pretty smile.
销售员 ❁ SALES ASSOCIATE [10]
Responsible for promotion, they're there to try on items for the customer and encourage them to buy the products.
I intend on gathering as many employees with different schedules as I can to ensure that there will always be someone able to work. I also plan on having a list of how many times someone has worked within a month so I can keep track of activity and give players who don't react quickly enough to an opening ping a chance to work. Employee's will at first be hand plucked before I open applications that will be done through google forms to the public.

Thank you for your consideration!
Sincerely, Casey
