If you have any questions about anything at all, please ask them here. We understand that sometimes you may not know the social structure or the way things work at times, but we're here to help you! So if you have any doubt, ask us so we dont have to tell you to change it in your RP later because its wrong. heart

As I've said- whenever a Haka dies, their assets (stores and the like) are liquidated (as in sold to buyers for cash) and then the money is divided amongst their offspring and mates.

The only way that someone can 'inheireit' something is to 'take over the family business'. That means that the Haka would have to be of the age to marry or already married before their 'mother' could die. If they were not old enough, the shop would be sold by the town government.

So- your character would have to be old enough to be married and a haka, in order to run the shop.

If you would like to, post a description in the 'town' (group rp) of your shop and what it has to offer. There is a 'how to' there in the town forum on how to do this.

Okay, in that case can he just build boats for a hobby? Can I just set up a description of a place or town beside a river where all the boats are moored with his home/workshop in the homes section? He wouldn't technically "own his own business" people would just kind of take advantage of his hobby and take the boats out for a minute payment...? (Is that possible?)

A gehaka needs a Haka in order to socially survive. They cant own land on their own, so they can't farm and support themselves, and they cant run businesses. A haka would have to own the land, and him, either he's their child or their husband, in order for him to own the land in order to have a 'hobby' on. Otherwise the land is property of the council (town) and he wouldn't be able to support himself. So ultimately, again, no.

Yes, alot of Gehaka are schedualed by the first husband, who after a few mates starts to sort of 'take over' when it comes to the other husbands, so the Haka doesn't have to waste his time with such things. Thats why a first husband is so important. Some Gehaka have mornings off, and work in the afternoons, some have specific chores they must complete before they get a break, and have the rest of the day off after that- also take into consideration how many husbands the haka has. The more husbands, the more the work is divided amongst them.

I take it that you want a Gehaka that is not married and not living with his parents?

What exactly is the situation you want your Gehaka to be in? Gehaka usually stay with their parents until they're married, and after that they're taken care of by their haka mate.

Your edited post storyline sounds fine, it would be expected that he work in his mothers shop. His mother doesn't have to be there or really present- his mother would oversee it sort of, on the books and whatnot. This is common for most Haka to do.
