Zion's Tavern(Accepting/Closed)

[Malik Zion RP]

"I know of a tavern not far from here
Where you can get some mighty fine beer
The company's true and the wenches are pretty
It's the greatest damn place in the whole of the city
If you're looking for crewmates, you'll sure find 'em there
Cutthroats and lowlifes and worse I should dare
Ol' Nancy don't care who comes to her inn
It's a den of debauchery violence and sin

So come take a drink and drown your sorrows
And all of our fears will be gone till tomorrow
We'll have no regrets and live for the day
In Nancy's Harbour Cafe

If you're looking to go on a glorious quest
There's a man there who knows of an old treasure chest
For some pieces of eight and a tankard of ale
He'll show you the map and tell you it's tale
And then there's Nancy, the lovely barmaiden
She may be old but her beauty ain't fading
Ol' Nancy don't care who comes to her inn
It's a den of debaucher violence and sin

So come take a drink and drown your sorrows
And all of our fears will be gone till tomorrow
We'll have no regrets and live for the day
In Nancy's Harbour Café" (Alestorm "Nancy the Tavern Wench")

Zion's Tavern

A farily large tavern on the outskirts of a major city. Four stories high with one side looking out over the ocean, waves crash against the stone foundation underneath. The tavern is built of sturdy timber that has been blackened and covered with brine and moss on all but the side facing away from the ocean, which features a large double door and a sign bearing the name "Zion's Tavern". The basement goes out farther then the tavern above it, and is rumored to contain all sorts of weird things. The regular storehouse (where the downstairs steps lead to) leads to several heavily locked doors, all quite sturdy and reinforced with magic. Beyond them, only Zion knows. The ground floor contains the tavern area, the kitchens, and the bathrooms. 2nd floor are the rooms available for customers, 12 small rooms, clean, but containing only the bare esentials. 3rd and 4th floors are the employees quarters, average sized rooms available to any employee who needs a place to stay. Almost a third of the top floor is Zion's room.

The area around the tavern is covered in docks and shipyards, filled with all sorts of sailors, lowlifes, homeless, and any other kind of unpleasant person you could think of. The city is quite large and fairly nice, but like most cities, the outskirts, with the docks in particular, are filled with violence. Zion's tavern is both the safest place in that area, and also the most dangerous, for that is where the worst of the worst gather.

The tavern contains about 30 tables, a large fireplace, a small stage for the musician, a huge bar, a bounty board, and several chandeleirs hanging overhead. The tavern is home to the worst drunken brawls on the continent, but Zion "Doesn't permit fighting....inside at least". The rule is lax though, and there is almost always someone fighting. Employees look to Zion to decide if the fight should be broken up or not. In which case, the employees will either throw some one out, or beat them unconcious. No one has ever been perminitley banned, but the threat has always been talked about.

The tavern is home to all sorts of mythical creatures, humans rarely tread there. All are accepted, so long as they don't cause too many problems. The tavern is a safe haven for anyone, good or evil, and a place where they can forget their wars and just share a drink and companionship.

Malik Zion himself owns and runs the place, and can almost always be found either behind the bar or interacting with the patrons. Known to be quite friendly, he upholds a good reputation, and only participates in the fights if its beyond his employees. Only the oldest patrons have seen him fight, but even those that haven't would be wary to mess with him.

Any who are looking for a place to stay at a modest price can inquire at the bar, though be warned, if you're looking for a quiet place to sleep you'll want to find somewhere else. The management reserves the right to kick anyone out at anytime, usually with no refund. Any broken furniture in your room will be charged to you, and if you cannot pay when you leave, may have to be worked off or reimbursement will be completed through some other means....

All are welcome, the fire's always lit, the musics always playing, and Zion's tavern is always filled with fighting, laughter, and song.

Rules/ Regulations

Well, I'm sure you all have a general idea of rules already, or else you wouldn't be here. I'm a simple and easy going type of guy, so I'll try to make this easy.
1. In this rp, I am god. I have the ability to decide anything in the rp, no questions asked. Don't worry, I'm too lazy to do too much.
2. No auto-hitting, godmodding, whatever. You all know not to just write "cuts his arm off" or to just dodge everything, I trust you guys.
3. Keep the post length above one liners, and under 4 paragraphs. Introductions can be somewhat of an exception to be longer, but come on, I don't need to read a novel on your character. Just anything necessary to understand, and what can be seen at a glance. If I know everything your character is thinking, it becomes difficult to realistically converse with them.
4. pm profiles to me, I will probably approve it, then I'll post it here (or in an OOC thread if Ookami doesn't like it).
5. This is set in modern times, but think of the tavern as a place that seems behind the times. It still functions much like a medieval tavern would. I won't mind guns and such, but nothing too advanced. Since the rp is set inside the tavern, cars and such shouldn't even appear, okay?
6. Respect the employees/owner. Because of various issues that would develop otherwise, please respect the power levels of the employees and the owner(Zion). It wouldn't be right to have someone come and kill/mortally wound the owner and take control of the tavern.
7. Violence is acceptable and encouraged, but Zion won't say so. NPC's will always be fighting in the tavern, and the overall atmosphere can be compared to Tortuga in Pirates of the Caribbean. That doesn't mean you should be burning/ destroying the entire tavern. I'm okay with a couple small holes in the ceiling or walls, but I can't have my entire tavern be destroyed.
8. Romance is fine, its a crazy place. But keep it pg-13 or so. After that I don't want to see it. You can take it elsewhere or timeskip, just so long as I don't have to read it.
9. I don't care if you want to make your posts pretty or not, but please don't have a post with more embellishment than actual content. This is about roleplaying, not your skill with code and photoshop. And please keep the font legible, no bright yellows or size 7 stuff.

Otherwise, just be respectful and fair. I could be persuaded to have major plot changes, like say the tavern burning down or someone fighting to a draw with Zion and becoming a co-owner, but you would need to talk it over in detail first with me. Any other questions, concerns, suggestions, or other I would be open and happy to hear if you pm me, or just ask in OOC (please use brackets/parentheses when typing OOC stuff).

If you have any other ideas for jobs, just let me know before you create a profile so I can tell you if its reasonable or not. Such as cooks, since you'd be in the back cooking, you wouldn't be able to really participate in the rp, but if you have a good idea for it, I'd be willing to listen.

Bounty Hunters
Criminals in hiding
Bodyguards/ Important people (Only people like mob bosses or the like would really show up in a place like this. ~Unless it's someone specifically looking for Zion~)

Regular people (if you're human though, you'll need a good reason to come here)
Sailors
.....

Profile Skeleton

Now I really don't care if all the profiles are made the same, so long as you include the important information. Whatever you deem important about your character, the stuff you want people to know in general about them, and what people need to know to interact with them is what you need to put in. Here's a basic skeleton, but feel free to change it around and add stuff to it. Make sure it includes their proffesion or reason for coming to the tavern though (employees must have a reason for originally coming and why they started working there, feel free to talk that over with me to build up our combined past).

I tend to do my own profiles farily detailed, which makes them a bit long, but it helps lessen the amount of stuff I have to write in my first post about my rpc, and just makes it easier for others to interact with you. If everything is clarified, then there can be no room for misconceptions.

~Accepted Profiles~

Username: Malik Zion RP
Character Name: Malik Zion
Race: Elven
Age: Eons, but appears mid 20's in human years (somewhere between 40-60 in elven).
Height: 6'1"
Weight: near 200 with everything on, 140 without
Eye Color: Dark Green
Hair Color: Black
Gender/ Sexual Orientation: Straight Male
Job Class: Owner/ Proprieter/ Bartender/ Bounty Manager
Personality: Zion has lived a long long time, and learned a lot. The only way to survive immortality is to live relatively carefree, being kind and helpful will make him feel good, but other times he may choose to be cruel and hurtful. Most of the time though, he is found in a state of whimsical uncaringness, doing just whatever seems interesting.
Bio: Zion's past took place eons ago, so long that he's not even sure if he remembers correctly. Born in an elven village during a great war with almost all other sentient races, he was quickly trained as a warrior and sent off to battle at a young age. He rose through the ranks with many feats of courage, valor, and wisdom and eventually helped end the war, killing enemy generals by the dozens. After the war, he left and wandered the world, trying to escape from all the killing he had seen. For several centuries he wandered, until as an old man he stumbled upon the way to the fountain of youth. He drank and returned to his prime, then went off to explore the world again. For eons he has explored most of the most beatiful and desolate parts of the world, appearing as an iconic figure in the histories of many nations to help them banish evil and set up their governments. They called him many different names, and he was known all over the world. Though all of that was far in the past, recently he has been far more quiet, simply the owner and proprieter of a small tavern. Rumors still spread about him and who he once was, but very few know for sure, and most are ignorant entirely.
Weapons
_____ Primary: The four swords he carries, one on each side of his hips (longswords), and two crisscrossing on his back (katanas).
_____ Secondary: All of the daggers, senbon, and shuriken he carries in his coat.
Powers/Abilities
_____ Body: As elven, after eons of training, and with the water from the fountain of youth even further boosting them, his strength, speed, stamina, eyesight, hearing, smell, and nearly every other atribute is boosted far above the normal.
_____ Fountain of Youth: After drinking from the fountain for so long, and so much of it, his blood is literally imbued with its effects. These serve to further increase all of his base attributes, and add especially to his regeneration skills. His blood has gained the ability to bring back any item to its most glorious state. Such as if a rusty swords were to be coated with his blood, it would turn back into a newly-forged blade, appearing almost polished once the blood is wiped off. Since this blood runs throughout his body, his cuts heal very quickly and even grevious wounds can be healed in a matter of hours. The water also makes his blood highly resistant to most magics, giving him some defense to magical attacks and almost complete resistance to blood controlling effects. Sadly, this all gives his blood a very special scent and taste, making him quite delectable to vampires who have hunted him for both the taste and magical youth effects his blood would give them.
_____ Abilities: Zion is highy skilled with lightning magics and earth magics. Controlling the growth of plants, he is able to trap, bind, and kill his enemies with any sort of wood nearby.
Reason for Coming: After so long of fighting, wandering, and being on his own, Zion sumbled one day into a tavern near the edge of the sea. The lights were glowing even in the rain, laughter and music were pouring out, and as he watched, someone was being thrown out the front door. He stayed at that tavern for some time, enjoying himself as just a regular guy. The people there didn't know him, or didn't care, and he got along very well with the patrons. Zion and the owner, a middle aged half elven woman, got along quite well for a while, and they enjoyed each other very much. But eventually, Zion had to leave and travel, as was his destiny, but he returned there often for years. Until one summer, he came back and all that remained was the burnt timbers of the old tavern. He was told that a particularly bad group of guys had got into a fight there and ended up destroying the place, killing the owner in the process. Zion disappeared for a long time, but eventually created the Zion Tavern in memory of that place, continents away.
