INFORMATION
The shop faction is a faction filled with independent individuals who are in-charge of maintaining their own In-Character shops In and Out of Character. There is a multitude of categories available when you apply for a shop, these range from retail to restaurants (refer to the shop roster for more information).
Whilst owning a shop, Shopkeepers are expected to reach 12 openings per Out-Of-Character month; once a Shopkeeper reaches this amount any additional openings won't be counted towards their quota. Shopkeepers are responsible for budgeting their own In-Character balances to pay for future restocks and taxes. On average, a shop earns over ¥1,000,000 per month, making it a highly sought-after role; to enhance your chances of being accepted for the role, continue reading.
