â–°â–°â–° Residency System:
Residences are places of retreat for shinobi, where villagers and rogues alike can resign from the toils of the outside world and find peace within their own inner sanctum. Speaking in plain terms, residences are simply 'homes' - whether it's an apartment, a multi-storied house or a grand castle overlooking a city, they are the abode of whichever shinobi purchased the land and building from the local governing body.
Before going into the specifics of customizing residences, it is important to note the rules connected to these homes.
- 1. Residences are all placed within a separate subforum from the remainder of RP. {{◄ 時║𝓜𝓸𝓶𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓼 𝓲𝓷 𝓣𝓲𝓶𝓮 ↬
2. Within the residency subforum, a shinobi can engage in other RP situations without losing the ability to RP in the rest of the world, as the RP within the residence does not conflict with the rest of the RP. This means you may be interacting with your squad in your residency, while also undertaking a mission alongside another shinobi in the Land of Floods subforum. However, your residency RP must always occur before your current exterior RP, so that ret-conning does not occur in case you are to face consequences in another subforum. You cannot be in multiple residencies at the same time in order to be in infinite RP situations. The only time you may RP in a second residency at the same time as your first, is if you own a Kyuden and it is your off-shoot thread.
3. Residences have a limited size. The amount of RPCs that can be in a residency at one point is determined by that size, which is dependent on the tier of the residence.
4. In order to RP in a residence, the owner of that residence must give you permission, whether it is IC or OOC. The owner has the ability to revoke that permission at any given time.
5. Each RPC may only have one home, unless they purchase a Kyuden, specified below.
6. You can spend the difference between a home's price to the next in the tier in order to upgrade it.
With all that being said, there is a more detailed system in place in order to determine the specifics of the residence.
â–°â–°â–° Housing Tier:
- •Apartment | 5000
This payment of 5000 Ryo is 'required' to create your residence, which starts at 'apartment' level. Apartments may fit up to four RPCs at once.
•Townhome | 12500
A townhome is typically a two or three bedroom home connected to one or multiple others. Up to six RPCs may be present in a townhome at any given time, and a townhome allows the purchase of up to [one] [expansion].
•Manse | 20000
A manse is a detached home, typically a single family two-story house with a front and back lawn. Considering the dense nature of the villages, they are typically found in outside residential districts - like suburbs - or in very wealthy parts of the villages, and generally, have around four bedrooms. Up to eight RPCs may be present in a manse, and a manse allows the purchase of up to [two] [expansions].
•Estate | 35000
An estate is always detached, with its own yard and relative separation from other homes. They will typically carry about five or six living spaces, with intricate architecture on the interior and exterior. Estates allow up to ten RPCs at any given time, and up to [three] [expansions].
•Castle | 55000
A castle is a massive and fortified home, generally only offered to those with exorbitant amounts of wealth. Castles are often accompanied by castle towns and other dependent settlements, with the owner of the castle being referred to as a Shukun, or master of the town surrounding it. Any amount of RPCs may be present here, and all upgrades are unlocked without restrictions.
•Kyūden | 80000
A kyuden is a feudal palace, of massive scale and fortification. Kyuden are rare in the countries, and there is only one kyuden per district, which may only be purchased by one ShokĹŤ. ShokĹŤ are akin to feudal princes, and are the de facto community leaders within their respective districts, whether or not this status has been sanctioned by the daimyo. These buildings typically hold over a few dozen rooms with chefs, maids, laborers and even soldiers within, as well as large yards, and often even entire forests or mountains encompassed by their individual territory.
The benefit of possessing a kyuden is that the owner of the palace may create a second thread that will essentially mirror a village thread, as they own their own town. This thread can be a market, a hot springs, etc... and follows the same rules as a home in that the owner of this thread can use this to RP separately from even their residence. Additionally, lore-wise, the ShokĹŤ ruling this residence is given high prestige and may use this residence as the enclave of a faction - if approved by the Kage. Rogues must request crew approval.
