▰▰▰ 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. Certain room/Expansion bonuses are available that are shared among the entire residence that only require one purchase. Any additional purchases won't double any bonuses granted.
6. Rooms/expansions that grant bonuses through [Unique] tagged items are granted only to the buyer.
In order for other characters to make of [Unique] tagged purchases they must buy their own copy of the room. Multiple expansions that are the same item do not consume any house/room expansions and remain with the player. Additional copies of the same purchase must be recorded as being part of the household with defined ownership.
7. All members of the residence benefit from a single purchase of any room under the "Additional Rooms" section (these items are only available to residences castle tier or higher): Items such as the Health Room, Private Hot Spring, Armory, and Treasury all fall under this category
8. Owners, residents, and invited guests may all benefit from post progress benefits toward careers and crafting when actively posting in a residence. Additional slots toward crafting/career will go to the buyer only unless otherwise stated.
9. Multiple rooms/expansions that reduce crafting or career mission progress will not increase any reduction further.
10. Items marked as [Upgrade] do not consume expansion slots but must have met requirements, i.e: a Personal Home Fighting Pit is required to be purchased in order to make appropriate use of the VIP Arena Seating [Upgrade] and/or the Gladiator's Home Game Favor expansions
11. Each RPC may only have one home unless a Kyuden is purchased. Read about the Kyuden below.
12.Chracters that live with other characters may share a single residency thread but still have the one home. A list identifying owners/residents beside house/room purchases would be recommended somewhere in the thread.
13. 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.
▰▰▰ Guard Activations:
A residence and business may have its own fleet of guards. Guards have their own small set of rules to abide by.
• 1 Guard has 1 activation.
• Guards may have up to two elements. All guards in thread will have the same elements. Installments are available that define what elements your guard populace can have.
• Each guard has 300 Chakra and 300 Stamina
• Guards may only techniques up to their body rank.
• Guards may not use S or S+ rank techniques
• Guards may not use bloodline jutsu
• Guards do not have access to Bukijtutsu or Taijutsu styles.
• Gaurds may only perform ninjutsu based on the element they are assigned to.
• Guards may also use Maruton techniques.
• Guards are subject to dying for your property.
▰▰▰ 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 three RPCs at once. Up to [two] [expansion].
•Cottage | 15,500 A cottage is generally a modest residence with one to two bedrooms. A small residence by design and intimate by nature that covers basic amenities. Space might be limited but the possibilities have hardly any boundaries. Cottages may fit up to four RPC's and allows purchase of [three] [expansions] .
•Townhome | 35,000 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 [four] [expansions].
•Manse | 45,000 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 [five] [expansions].
•Estate | 85,000 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 [six] [expansions].
•Castle | 150,000 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 | 350,000 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 Shokō. Shokō 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 Shokō 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.
▰▰▰ Business Tier:
Not subject to being confined in the subforum business can be made in any place Kage/Mod permissions granted. The price of a business follows the same progression as the Residency Tiers. Business are broken up into ranks via those tiers and confer an amount of Ryo every [1]-Irl week.

Business are also subject to being ROBBED...and in some of the worst cases DESTROYED. Any time during a profit period a RPC may attempt to rob a business in which case they steal 1/2 of that business worth in profit. If there is no profit the money is stolen from the worth of the business. If a business ever reaches 0 it has failed. A Business Owner is given [1]-irl week to respond to the robbery. Where if a response is not made the robber is considered successful. A Destroyed business may not generate profit but isn't considered failed until the passing of [2] irl weeks. To repair a destroyed business one must pay 1/2 of that business worth. An insurance policy may be claimed where in the Business only produces profit every other irl week but the business is insured if destroyed.
