What shop are you applying for?:
Any Gift & Accessory Slot
Location: ???
XYZ: ???
Any shop within the Gifts & Accessories Category will do. Although I’d like to change the name (if accepted into a slot of a previously owned shop), I do believe the difference would bea benefit. Perhaps I could even pay homage to it's name in some capacity with a decoration option.
I would like to alter the name of the shop, noting it as むこうの国 or in other words, “Mukō no Kuni.” This is a welcoming shop that allows you to dive into your imagination and live the tale you were destined for! Mukō no Kuni is a lovely natural shop with a fairytale aesthetic and medieval apparel to compliment the workers. It is designed to acknowledge the acceptance of creative minds and embrace alternative styles of life. Appearance isn’t everything you know!
Name Meaning:
In this case, Mukō (むこう) stands for the word “beyond.” Something that is far, the idea of a dreamer, just barely out of reach.
No (の) usually means “of” or “belonging to.” It’s a bridge word, one that doesn’t hold a particular weight in the entire meaning of Mukō no Kuni, yet is needed for proper formatting and logistical sense.
The last of this name meaning relates to the word Kuni. This is typically defined as “country” or “land.” Specific to the name of this shop, ”land” is utilized. Something physical, grounding and filled with life.
As a whole, Mukō no Kuni (むこうの国) has the intentional meaning of “The Land Beyond.” It associates with people’s dreams and aspirations, no matter if someone approves of a dreamer’s imagination. Fulfilling, enriched with life and very much real. Physical. Within reach. A welcoming home to anyone who seeks community and acceptance.

Why do you want to become a Shopkeeper?:
Upon entering SRP, many may question how to achieve more money? While some strive for tailoring, others settle for shops. As one of the new players who once questioned this very thing, I found myself drawn to the player run shops of SRP. Of course, a community to create a character more in depth was a personal goal, one cannot deny the appeal of yen. Overtime, I finally decided to try my hand at applying for a new shop opening at the time; Kansai. Although it was shifted into Umisachi, both communities proved to be fruitful and welcoming. I found myself enjoying the silly memories I shared amongst co-workers and even with shopkeepers. Later I strived to enter more shops and discover other groups equally as open minded. I applied and got into Yeobo, as well as Tsuki no Umi. Here I created more fond memories such as pajama day in Tsuki no Umi or rallying guests with a co-worker in Yeobo when we were the only ones on shift. Seeing the community garnered by shopkeepers has inspired me to pursue the role of shopkeeper and return the joy I have been given through serving several months, and years, dedicated to SRP shops. Another thing that has allowed me to thrive is the tailoring businesses and SRP establishments. Hoshino Productions has allowed me to form a character I adore, and intertwine lore amongst lovely individuals. The passion in each project allows the concept of shopkeeper to set and truly harness a warm and inviting community of my own. Tailoring is a livelihood of many SRP citizens, and now that official businesses have been created, I believe interacting with them in-character would prove beneficial. Allow the role an in-character purpose that is utilized and respected. It would also allow the SRP community a chance to interact and take part in a shop’s procedure with their varying talents. I am one who has surely benefited from the light shone upon me via tailoring servers such as Euphoria. Without Euphoria, I would not have begun auction tailoring or have met the lovely people who are co-workers and friends. The generosity that has been shared with me throughout my time on SRP is overwhelming, and I believe that this is a way to benefit SRP as well as develop more cherished memories.
Not to mention, I’ve been rather interested in this opportunity since the beginning as I have considered this route in my personal life. With all being said, it would be amazing to have a chance at being a shopkeeper on SRP.
What do you plan to do with your shop, and what makes it unique?:
“In a world where the noble cater to the public, where will your journey lead?”
Icon:
Icon Meaning:
The heart of Mukō no Kuni outshines that of shadow, a vibrant shimmer of gold protruding in passionate pulses. An all encompassing hope, glimmering tantalizingly as a warm welcome to opportunity and dreams. Elegant scripture featuring the words “Mukō no Kuni” and kanji representing the shop with care.
Mukō no Kuni is an SRP GIft & Accessory shop that places emphasis on in-character interaction and a welcoming community. Here, your achievements are celebrated and embraced with open arms. It’s alright to be creative! Imagination is where it starts. As far as I know, there are no castle / medieval themed shops currently in the ones listed. Pairing this with the additional changes and roleplay focused mindset of Mukō no Kuni, this makes the shop unique and lively. I’d also like to incorporate an aspect of Mukō no Kuni that pays back to the community in forms of events, charity and commissions. As a shopkeeper earning a decent amount, when restocking and salary is sanctioned, I’d like to donate some of the money to establishments in Karakura or simply people on the street. Giveaways may also be present within the shop discord! I may commission photographers from various official and non-official tailoring businesses and have models from establishments show off the new items of our shop! I’d enjoy allowing tailoring businesses to have more in-character opportunities.
Shop Surveys! (Anonymous & Non-Anonymous ones)
Perhaps this is just me, yet I haven’t seen a shop ask the employees how they feel it is running. I’d like to cultivate an open space to discuss the operations of the shop and comfortability of all employees. In order to make individuals feel as though they can come forward without repercussion, there will be a set of anonymous shop surveys among the ones that collect your IGN. If there are issues with this process, the concept of anonymity will be removed (trolling, etc).
Shop Lore
Various shops have in-character reasons and motivations for why a shop has been created. However, what if in addition, the shop laid out a harrowing story layered through various openings that the customers can experience to spice up their lives? An elaborate tale sewn through harmony, friendship, deceit, betrayal and mystery. I’d like to rope people into a story that immerses SRP and ultimately forms more interaction in-character with staff, the shopkeeper and even amongst employees.
Events Among Co-Workers
Due to the emphasis on in-character interaction with both the public and one another, there will be events held solely for the employees like end of month parties or major accomplishment celebrations. You get on a sports team? Let the shopkeeper know! We’ll throw a party for you! There will also be in-character meetings and other fun activities to bring the community together.
Shop Collaborations
Encouraging shop collaborations is something I’d enjoy regardless of if they are deemed rivals in a business sense. Developing an integrated connection with those of the shopkeeper faction would be splendid. For example, Mukō no Kuni could collaborate with Kirei Hana to feature their plants inside the shop, ultimately placing a sign stating that every flower / plant has been purchased from Kirei Hana. A promotion and good comradery.
Within your shop, what are some examples of the atmosphere & aesthetic you would like to convey?:
Uniforms
Aesthetic
Note that these are just general vibes, builders will be needed to help create a cohesive SRP styled interior and exterior.
The aesthetic is a fantasy whimsical vibe! (Though still SRP of course, just more nature I suppose). Perhaps a castle like exterior <3
What other events could be run at your shop?:
A Regal Visit
Oh no! Is that a discount princess? Visiting Mukō no Kuni seems to be all your wildest dreams. From Areal to Cinderstella! Say, you only like men? Gastoon has arrived. Maybe you prefer small cute companions like Olaugh? Regardless, a meet and greet is exactly the type of thing Mukō no Kuni can offer!
During this event people may take photos with the individuals and even participate in fencing!
How will the fencing work though??
Good question! First, a roll of 20 to see who starts. The highest roll begins. That person then rolls 100. If it is higher than the opponent’s roll, it’s a hit. If it’s lower than the target’s roll, they successfully defend / dodge / you miss (be creative). For the sake of SRP simplicity and efficiency, the one who reaches 3 hits on the opponent will win the match. You may participate in this with friends or challenge one of the boot-leg nobles to a round!
Fashion Week
Emphasized by the archaic glow of the runway is the carefully crafted fabrics of apparel made from a seamstress’ sewn heart. Woven with passion, a showcase is present in Mukō no Kuni to honour the hard work and dedication of these young designers.
During this event I’d work with official & non official tailoring businesses to produce a fashion show under a theme that everyone can attend. It would both promote the models and designers. I’d like to incorporate tailoring businesses more icly, as well as hire their services for photography and such more frequently which could be used in an event such as this. To incentivize, I could throw in some rewards! This can also lend well to things like Euphoria’s magazines, showing off the product in person and truly elevating the tailoring businesses in-character!
Masquerade
Masked in secrecy, a ball is called forth. As the melody strums in the looming dusk, the comradery strengthens both its bonds and bounds. Delve into a mystical rhythm accompanied by the harmonizing beat of Mukō no Kuni’s staff.
I’d preferably require a builder to provide some space within Mukō no Kuni, however I’d love a mini event where consumers can get to know the Mukō no Kuni staff in a fun intriguing environment. There would be games for entertainment, songs and more.
Animals on the loose!
Wooden doors splinter with a deafening CRACK. A stampede bolts from outside the ruined gates of Mukō no Kuni. The castle appears to be in turmoil, distressed with not a steed to its name.
It seems the horses got loose again. Can’t you train them? Well, in this event, people would be tasked with retrieving those pesky horses on the map. Seems silly right? Well that’s the point! Once all horses are returned, a discount is given out collectively with a few deals like buy one get one free! A discount for your troubles. Of course, an advertisement will be made once they’ve been returned.
[ADVERT] NEIGH, OPEN / MUKŌ NO KUNI. Apologies, the horses got on the intercom. ALL HAVE BEEN FOUND! Please make your way to Mukō no Kuni for a 10% DISCOUNT and SPECIAL buy one get one free DEAL! Don’t wanna miss this
Ideally I’d like event team members to be able to help with this catastrophe
What will you sell in your shop?:
Possible Items:
WIP
Sign Example:
The top colour (pink) might even change with the season depending on the shop’s aesthetic at the time!
What ideas for customs / products do you have for your shop?:
Some of my friends have offered to allow me to sell their customs within my shop, however here are some fresh custom ideas for Mukō no Kuni.
Everything is messing up however there are custom ideas such as earrings, staffs, bags, glasses, eyepatches, masks, umbrellas and plushies!
I am willing to buy the customs to enhance the shop and I’m open to suggestions! Before getting a new custom item, I would ask the employees which they’d like to see in the shop from a set of photos. The one(s) voted on the most I would then purchase to sell in the shop.
What roles will there be in your shop?:
Hierarchy
The roster consists of a whole new set of names for a fun little twist on shop life!
Queen (Owner)
The job of the Queen is to run the shop to the best of their abilities, as well as restocking the merchandise, delegating tasks, overseeing staff and accounting for the profit & salary owed during service. This will be left to me, the Shopkeeper.
Royal Advisor (Co-Owner)
The job of the Royal Advisor is to operate as the shopkeeper in my stead. With great power comes great responsibility, and thus a trustworthy individual must be appointed to retain order yet freedom. We want things running smoothly & the shop to be an enjoyable atmosphere!
Manager
The job of the manager is to oversee their division and aid the Queen with tasks that involve the staff & guards, namely training. These are trusted individuals who have proven their dedication to the shop and/or owner. There will be one for each kind of worker (Employee & Security). Both managers have the authority to oversee the shop in case the Royal Advisor cannot.
Seneschal (Manager of Employees)
The manager of the staff department specializes in the training of regular workers. This revolves around how to be a cashier, how to work the shop panel and conduct as a member in Mukō no Kuni. This information will be passed to the Seneschal via the Queen upon recruitment / promotion.
Marshal (Manager of Security)
The manager of the guard department specializes in the training of the security workers. This ranges from situations that may occur in the shop and ways to diffuse & remove the issue amicably. This information will be passed to the Marshal via the Queen upon recruitment / promotion.
Elevated Staff (Senior Employees)
The majority of shops name these “Senior Employees,” however what if we added some spice and changed that to Elevated Staff? This role is designed to provide staff & guards a means of promotion. It honours their hard work and dedication to the shop, giving them something to strive for and stay interested.
There are 2 slots for each department.
Staff (Employees)
The job of staff is to run an individual lane in the shop, operating as a cashier. They receive an order, retrieve it from the back and give the purchaser the item after the profit is received. They are in charge of customer service and returning the money owed to the shopkeeper, whilst also maintaining the right to gain money from a hard day’s work.
Employees have varying pay depending on the amount made during service; however it is always equal amongst the workers present that shift.
Guards (Security)
The job of guards is to protect the store and merchandise from unwanted attention or pesky customers that put up too much of a fuss! They watch over the store and make sure everyone inside is delighted and safe; especially the staff. They are in charge of removing oncoming threats and diffusing situations. Honorable knights indeed!
Security has a set amount of 30,000¥ paid to them. This is guaranteed every shift, a differing factor from staff.
Herald (Shop Animal / Mascot)
Ah but what is a castle without a frog? Kidding! Though, preferably a frog or something along those lines. The job of the Herald is to just.. be cool? Provide customers with a fun addition to the shop, be a form of mascot and get paid 10,000¥. What will an animal do with 10k? Who knows..
Interesting Feature?
If available slots, Guards & Staff may apply to switch departments after these requirements are met:
- Been in their department for 2 months OOCLY
- Worked a total of 4 shifts
- Applications aren’t near (Occasional free slots, not an abundance or application date stated)
The requirements are subject to change, however I’d like to include this feature of department transitions to allow exploration of the shop & create renewed interest.
Can a Herald switch into a guard or staff position?
Unfortunately not, they will have to apply when applications open up. They may remain as Herald until their application is accepted, however they would lose this position in exchange for staff or guard.
Shop operation questions
How many workers can be on shift?
- 3 Staff
- 2 Guards
If more than 3 people say they can attend service, to create a fair opportunity, a wheel will be spun to decide who may come to that particular opening.
Those who have not done a shift recently will be prioritized, however. Above relates to if all are in this category.
Can you work multiple shifts in a row?
This is subject to change, however the current answer is no. If low on people, I will not deny those who wish to aid. I’d like to give everyone a chance to work a shift, and if the first people to react to a message were to get the opening every time, it may make this unfair.
How would I log my shift?
An overview of the opening will be sent in a channel on discord. That being said, I will need some confirmation:
Staff / Employees
In order to correctly log shifts, the job of Staff will be to provide screenshots in a designated channel. The proof needed is as follows; Shop Panel Personal Stats & Payment to Shopkeeper.
Guards / Security
This will be handled by the shopkeeper mainly, however to solidify this I’d like a screenshot of my payment to the individual. This will be proof that I have properly paid every guard who worked the shift. It will be sent in the same channel as the staff pay logs; Shift logs.
Would you announce shifts ahead of time?
In addition to a schedule feature, all openings will be privately announced earlier within the day to allow ample time to react to the message! I’d like employees to be aware beforehand and not have the opening be urgent. You never know what people are up to! Best to plan ahead

Although the total employees comes to a resounding 25, I am confident in my ability to operate a team. The number of each role was gauged based upon the amount required per shift.
What discounts will be present at your store?
These may change with time.
Mukō no Kuni Employee Discount
This is a 20% discount for all workers in Mukō no Kuni. If there is another discount on at the time, the two stack and create an even more affordable purchase for our loyal employees!
Shopkeeper Discount
Gasp!! This is a discount designed to promote shopkeeper collaboration and congratulate those who successfully run their shop. It’s a lot of work! The discount amount is 15%.
Alternating Discounts
I would like to introduce real world Japanese sales discounts that occur
Seasonal (Summer, Winter, etc)
There are most frequently summer & winter discounts to clear out stock. With the continued seasonal products, this may come in handy if there are residual items left over. This discount may be 15%. Of course this doesn’t exclude natural holidays around those times as well!
Golden Week
Golden week is a large staple in Japanese history! It spans from April 29th to May 5th where there are various holidays within. I would enjoy dedicating a discount for openings within this period, emphasizing real Japanese holidays. The discount would be 20%.
March or Mid April
This is a time where the school year renews and a fresh financial year is embraced. Specific items would be discounted during this time, especially things relating to school (Bags, etc) and accessories to spruce up your vibe. The discount would be 15%.
How would you go about hiring and promoting people?:
Hiring
How to get a job? Oh well no worries about that! Mukō no Kuni will be rather vocal. A message will be posted in the shop-adverts channel of the Karakura Town discord with a screenshot of an in-game advertisement. The alert on both discord & in-game will state Mukō no Kuni is hiring. Upon heading to the shop, an application in the form of a Google form will be handed out. They will also be directed to join the shop discord. Similar to other shops, Mukō no Kuni will hold two in-character interview periods as a means to interact with the community more.
Application Questions
At the beginning and end of the application there will be information pertaining to the rules of the form (like no AI!) and further procedures after submitting said form (What will happen from there, onward).

Promotion
Ever wanted the opportunity to interact with your shopkeeper more? Well now is the time! Promotions in my shop will feature an in-character promotion process once announced oocly in the shop discord. Together, a planned time will be set where the shopkeeper calls the employee in to speak about their job and position. This will increase productivity of the shop whilst maintaining communication between the shopkeeper and their employees. I’d like people to interact more often with co-workers and higher-ups. A fun little addition I haven’t seen in shops besides in-character interviews relating to application hiring.
How will your advertisements look?:
The majority of advertisements will feature 2-3 items in stock at Mukō no Kuni as well as noting the shop’s opening status.
Opening Advertisement(s)
[ADVERT] OPEN with a BANG / MUKŌ NO KUNI. Want to get those pesky jocks back? Come snag our Belt “The Whooper” snatched straight from a cranky noble! For legal reasons this is a joke. Perhaps you want to give them a little SCARE with our “Ghostface” Plastic Mask! Scurry on over to MUKŌ NO KUNI!

[ADVERT] Come clash your swords with your competitors! MUKŌ NO KUNI is HIRING and the application calls your name, chosen one! Hurry to 1603 / 17 / 631, lest you fall in battle
In your shop, what rules will there be?:
Employees
- Altercations amongst employees should be brought to the shopkeeper’s attention
- Wear uniforms!
- Be respectful
- Remember to do pay logs
- No stealing
- Use inactivity logs if inactive for 2 weeks +
- Have fun!
Customers
- A maximum of 3 of each item can be bought
- Be respectful
- Don’t cause a ruckus
In addition, everything must adhere to SRP’s rules and regulations. When on discord, this is the same, though discord’s terms of service are to be followed as well.
Discord Plans?:
Within the Sayonara Discord, I would update the channels and add new aspects to better the information passed to the public. This includes a schedule, public roster, self roles and hierarchy locked text channel.
Schedule
This channel features a monthly calendar posted by the shopkeeper to notify the public of possible times the shop can be expected to be open. It may also prepare employees in case they would like to plan to attend an opening. Times are subject to change. On the information forum post for shops it does state 12 openings per month, though I have not witnessed that many as far as I know. However this is the information stated upon the post and thus I will follow the regulation.
Sample:
How do you determine times to open?
These will mostly be selected by the shopkeeper, however I’d like to introduce a mandatory lettucemeet that allows the employees to note their availability. It will aid in choosing times suitable for the majority of staff and provide insight on possible times for those with differing timezones to attend.
Roster & Hierarchy
I’d like to have a public roster noting every individual who works in the shop. Perhaps even their heads next to their names like other shops do. The format for server names in Mukō no Kuni is Character | IGN. This only applies to workers. Additionally, there will be a hierarchy channel to explain what each level of the roster means in case someone is confused or has forgotten, clearing the air and allowing the new faction names to be utilized effectively.
Sayonara Employee Applications?
As stated, Sayonara had an application opening prior to the owner leaving. If passed the permission to do so by the Faction Lead, I would love to take on the submissions and review the interviews that were recorded by the prior shopkeeper. This is an option said individual desired, and thus I’d like to take up on the offer.
Self Roles
A channel dedicated to self roles will help customers decide what they want to be pinged for! Examples of possible roles could be applications, events, partnerships, discounts. giveaways and announcements.
Giveaways
Considering Mukō no Kuni would enjoy returning to the community, a channel may be required to give a certain amount of yen after all proceedings are paid for to a winner. This can be done through a bot or the spin of a wheel, however I do believe it would be beneficial, especially when randomized.

Shop Motivation?:
Kin’iro Quinn is a young Japanese-American woman who grew up in America with her family. This consisted of her parents and younger sister, Natsuki Quinn. Embracing an alternative style, Kin’iro went through life judged by the general population for having her head in the clouds whilst her sister pursued sport related activities and excelled. She spent her days working within her mother’s retail and convenience store, finding solace in entertaining customers as they approached the counter to purchase products. The genuine smiles and joy she laced each individual with left her wondering how the rest of the world fared against the cruelty of judgement. Determined to cultivate a community of her own, Kin’iro strived to understand the inner workings of the shop to which her mother obliged. As she watched her younger sister blaze through her school years, Kin’iro wanted to prove something. She could achieve greatness just as Natsuki had. When Natsuki moved to Karakura, Kin’iro spent her time in school studying business. To bolster her motivation, she kept a picture of their family within her wallet. Starting up a business was no easy task, the woman working tirelessly to make her handcrafted jewelry sell. After a while of attempting this feat, Kin’iro was down on her luck. When she was given the offer to move to Karakura in hopes a reunion would liven the spark, Kin’iro traveled. Once she arrived in Karakura, her sister had grown so much. Not only was she taller, but the HS Swim Captain of Karakura High’s Sports team. An incredible feat, one that inspired Kin’iro to pursue her own goals. She would not give up on her dream, harnessing a welcoming community and founding Mukō no Kuni under the veil of harmony and acceptance.

How will being a Shopkeeper benefit the character in question?
Kin’iro is a bright spirit who desires to share this with those of the community. Being a shopkeeper not only tailors to her background considerably well, however it’d allow a further depth to be explored and developed with my character as a whole. The hardships of running a shop, the comradery and cherished memories, all allowing my character to bloom and pursue a meaningfully positive presence in Karakura.

Additional notes about your application:
Thank you for taking the time to read my application! I hope you have an amazing night/day <3
Do you have any questions?:
I have read the FAQ & Shop application information and they have answered things I would have noted. Namely restocking (/restock) and item prices (Which the shopkeeper may set but must inform the faction lead so they can update restock prices). It also answered the minimum age of a shopkeeper which is 24, though it’s recommended to seek an age somewhat older (Maximum is 80). Any future questions will be asked to the faction lead and/or a shopkeeper!
