CHARACTER BUSINESSES

[shareenjoyotp]

To OPEN A BUSINESS, your character has to have worked at College Degree Wage for Six Months! Again, this needs to be valued, ethical work! Please also keep in mind that you will need to put in for missions in order to gain employees, these people which later can permanently work for you if both parties see fit!

Character:
Username:
Fandom:
Type of Establishment: What kind of business are they opening?
Name of the Establishment: Speaks for itself.
Expected income: How successful do you expect the business would be and why?
Reasoning: Would your character be able to run a business like this? Why? Do you have evidentiary support from your canon? Deductive reasoning for traits that would apply to this job well? Explain!
Funds: Where did your character get the money to open a business? Giving us links to your character working a College Degree Wage Mission will suffice!

If you have a character who has agreed to work for one of the business owners listed here, simply respond to the comment containing their new employer's information with that character's name and room number! There's no requirement for minimum number of jobs worked or wages to be paid - those things should be taken care of ICly or OOCly when arranging this between yourselves.

Just posting this here to make future hiring easier!

[11ady]

Character: Lady Une
Username: 11ady
Fandom: Gundam Wing
Type of Establishment: Intelligence Bureau
Name of the Establishment: Preventer
Expected income: Negative. They're kind of non-profit. 8(
Reasoning: This has already been sorted out IC-ly. Preventer has already launched. Une mostly wants Preventer aboard the ship to gather intel and prevent conflict before it starts just liek she did back on the Earth Sphere in canon.
Funds: All her savings + some of the funding from Batboss + Wayne Enterprises stock + bank loans ;;

Current Roster of Permanent Preventer Employees as of 06/19/12

[11ady]

Character: Midii Une
Username: unetrustworthy
Fandom: Gundam Wing
Occupation: Secretary
Wage: Somewhat Decent

Character: Edmund Pevensie
Username: lionsandsnow
Fandom: Narnia
Occupation: Public Relations
Wage: Somewhat Decent

[lightnings]

Character: Hatake Kakashi
Username: lightnings
Fandom: Naruto
Type of Establishment: Security Services Company
Name of the Establishment: KARMA (which is being rebranded to no longer stand for what the acronym was originally.)
Expected income: He takes a CEO wage from personal bonuses; the company itself is financially successful. KARMA offers services both for long-term and short-term customers and due to Kakashi's use of both jutsu and unique technologies, KARMA follows a blue ocean strategy. Because of the company's budgeting nature, a lot of allowance is given to marketing and advertisement, ensuring strong branding and a steady flow of clientele from big corporations on The Thor.
Reasoning: It was already established on livejournal. ICly, it was opened with Naruto who wanted to make as much money as possible to rebuild their world (Konoha). It's also a cover to gather resources in preparation for any problems that the refugees might face, such as the purists. Having lived and served through 2-3 wars during his lifetime, he sees this involvement as a duty. Additionally, a causal effect of resource gathering would include creating strong relationships with the other refugee-run businesses and hopefully the refugees themselves!
Funds: Naruto and Kakashi both took multiple missions every month since they arrived on the ship. They began with a modest office and the nature of their company and skillset required very few employees and relatively little investment in capital. Additionally, for the months that KARMA was making negative profit, Kakashi was taking additional missions to supplement for the losses.

MIwako Sakurada | 3-38

Hired! 8U

[11ady]

Occupation: Stylist
Wage: Somewhat Decent

[warriorwithout]

Character: Chang Wufei
Username: warriorwithout
Fandom: Gundam Wing
Type of Establishment: Martial Arts Dojo
Name of the Establishment: Long Wushu
Expected income: College Degree
Reasoning: Inherited from his wife from here.
Funds: It's already running, and is generally low cost. His skimpy Preventer salary can cover the little things.

[knifedances]

Character: Izaya Orihara
Username: knifedances
Fandom: Durarara!!
Type of Establishment: Information Broker business! (OFF THE BOOKS)
Name of the Establishment: N/A
Expected income: ummm....it WILL be CEO at some point, but to start off with I imagine he'll be earning somewhat decent/college degree as it'll take some time to build up his client base, and his income is likely to fluctuate depending on what kind of information he's selling/who's buying/how much business he's getting at any given time.
Reasoning: He was in an info broker at home, he does this shit for fun, he figures he may as well be earning some money from it.
Funds: Funding isn't necessary seeing as to begin with he'll be doing all the work himself and doesn't need a premises to work from, though it's possible he'll buy office space at some point and he'll most likely be looking to employ at least two representatives (so he cn stay anon) and maybe a secretary. He'd also probably pay people (low prices) for info they give him but for the most part he should be able to access/discover it himself, but this wont happen until he's been in business for a bit. He is currently working college degree jobs (though mainly when someone signs him up for them) as well as earning somewhat decent wage from his permanent job as financial planner for Preventer (as well as already selling intel to Preventer on the side), so he is not particularly lacking in funds for when he DOES need them.

[dedicatednoless]

Character: Peony Upala Malkuth IX
Username: dedicaltednoless
Fandom: Tales of the Abyss
Type of Establishment: Casino, now with a liquor license.
Name of the Establishment: Lady Luck Casino
Expected income: CEO.
Reasoning: The casino has three reasons behind it: the first would obviously be so Peony has a steady income, the second is to create new jobs for his fellow refugees, and the third and most important is to free up his time and give him a large enough income so that he can eventually put his resources to different charities helping the refugee population.
Funds: Saved money from Sept '10 to Oct '11, occasionally worked two jobs in a month, and earned extra money from winning at other casinos.

[Previous info]

I hope this is okay.

[lovehopeanddreams]

Character: Count D
Username: lovehopeanddreams
Fandom: Pet Shop of Horrors
Type of Establishment: Pet Shop
Name of the Establishment: Count D's Pet Shop
Expected income: At the beginning minimum wage but will probably move up at a decent pace. May become CEO wage one day but that is still far away.
Reasoning: D has been the sole carer for the shop for at least two years without much difficulty. As a nature god-like thing he has a very good hand with animals.
Funds: Since he was able to bring the magical ship shop with him he already has all he needs. The incomes from the shop and missions will cover future needs.

[falling_so_slow]

Iroh | Room 6-1a

Already discussed with Wufei's mun about Iroh teaching at his Dojo!

[foolish_seal]

Character: Minato Arisato
Username: foolish_seal
Fandom: Persona 3 FES
Type of Establishment: Restaurant
Name of the Establishment: The Crimson Lion
Expected income: CEO, though it varies.
Reasoning: With the departure of both Shinjiro and Ran Fan, Minato will be inheriting the restaurant as per Shinjiro's request, and will continue to run it as is. Note that the Crimson Lion is an already-established restaurant.
Funds: Pre-established, Shinjiro's savings are used for upkeep if needed.

4tea2

[atomcrafting]

Character: Polymnia Terpsichore Aino Perdita Zyanya
Username: atomcrafting
Fandom: Doctor Who (OC)
Type of Establishment: tea shop
Name of the Establishment: 4tea2
Expected income: CEO level
Reasoning: Because Polly loves tea. And lots of other people love tea. And now they can all love tea together, and all will be right in the universe.
Funds: 2 years worth of savings, and Polly can pull money (among other things) out of thin air.

[deconflagration]

Zuko, 6-1a. Forever a baker because his tea is too bitter... and hot.

[atomcrafting]

Hired! :-D

Moving the info to the new page

[urnotafraid]

Character: Sho and Aya
Username: urnotafraid and formerabyssinian
Fandom: Moon Child and Weiss Kruez
Type of Establishment: Japanese-style bar
Name of the Establishment: The Golden Fish
Expected income: They have been open for a couple months now so we're looking at College Degree
Reasoning: They have been open for a while although that is just strictly by-the-books - the Golden Fish is a gangster bar after all.
Funds: The bar was won from another gang and then there was a bar fight. Sho and Aya had been pitching in to have an initial start-up funds, but now they are able to hire new help and pretty up the place.

[manicuredangel]

Character: Aziraphale
Username: manicuredangel
Fandom: Good Omens
Type of Establishment: bookshop
Name of the Establishment: Fell's Rare Books
Expected income: ha ha ha little to none. He doesn't really want to sell his books. :C
Reasoning: He has his bookshop in the book, of course. Soho probably grew up around it.
Funds: He's been working hard since he got to the Thor! In fact, last month, he worked a CEO level job!

[steelalchemy]

Character: Edward Elric
Username: steelalchemy
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Type of Establishment: Bar
Name of the Establishment: Devil's Nest [ ref ]
Expected income: College degree-CEO depending on sales etc
Reasoning: Ed basically inherited the bar from Greed after he was wormholed and Ed hates to see the place go under, even if he doesn't really know anything much about running bars
Funds: he's been at CEO wages for months and saves more than he spends

Reposting from the old page for hiring

[megamagicpower]

Character: Lemina Ausa
Username: megamagicpower
Fandom: Lunar
Type of Establishment: An association for a. educating and training apprentice magicians in the magical arts, b. researching new magical arts and technology (aka new spells and items), c. organizing to protect the rights and interests of those with magical abilities (and non-magical associates), and d. providing an easy way for outside organizations to recruit adept magicians for specialized missions.
Name of the Establishment: The New Magic Guild of Vane
Expected income: MILLIONS. Lemina has unreasonable expectations. Probably more like Somewhat Decent, since a large portion of all profits made (especially from item sales and the like) will be re-invested back into the Guild. May creep up to College Degree or even CEO if it grows the way Lemina hopes it will.
Reasoning: The Magic Guild was, in Lemina's canon, the largest and most prestigious magical organization in the world... emphasis on was. Being the heiress to the Guild, Lemina made it her mission to revive it. From the point in canon she's taken from, she's learned a lot about what the purpose of the Guild is and what it should become, and is ready to begin working on it anew. Thus, letting her actually take a crack at running it only seems appropriate!
Funds: Ridiculous donation from Sakamoto in Shinpachi's name, funds earned by Lemina herself from working and saving.

ALSO: Please see the Guild Roster!

Can I do this

[twotwoed]

Characters/Usernames: Will (twotwoed), Cynthia (battledancing) and Bianca (futureprofessor)
Fandom: Pokemon
Type of Establishment: Pokemon Gym
Name of the Establishment: The S.S. Thor Pokemon Gym
Expected income: NONE haha they're running this as a non-profit establishment, and so far all their plans are that they intend to keep it that way.
Reasoning: It's actually an inherited establishment and not a proper new one. When Surge was wormholed, he left the task of running the gym to the remaining Pokemon cast. So far all of them seem pretty interested in holding up their end of the bargain; this is just making things official on the paperwork.
Funds: The gym itself was inherited from Lt. Surge, who left some extra money to the Pokecast upon leaving the Thor with the stipulation that he'd really rather see it go to the gym. So there's that; any additional contributions will have to come either through donations or out of the Pokecasts' pockets.

lol meant to repost this forever ago

[neuterskrogan]

Character: Mordin Solus
Username: neuterskrogan
Fandom: Mass Effect
Type of Establishment: Clinic
Name of the Establishment: Refugee's Haven Medical Clinic
Expected income: To quote the original clinic post: "To begin with, just enough to keep people paid on minimum and/or somewhat decent wage, with the head full-time medics/doctors at college degree. New workers without experience would come in at minimum, and upgrade as they gain experience, most likely."
Reasoning: Both Sakura Haruno and Dr. John H. Watson, the original founders of the clinic, have left the Thor (HOWEVER Watson is BACK now and will likely be offered a full time position by Mordin 8U). Having more than enough experience with running clinics (and considering he spends 80% of his time there anyway), Mordin pretty much took it upon himself to keep the place operational. Because he's a nice guy that way.
Funds: To quote the original clinic post: "Gathered from a Date Auction and a Dinner/Dance Charity Ball held on ship. Donations in total came to 149,820 credits." Prior to this repost, there's been a second fund raiser. Iiiiii don't recall how much it raised though.
