DESCRIPTION
Amidst an era riddled with turmoil and political unrest, cultural reformation and erasure is imminent. As such, the teahouses of the Hanamachi district teem with visitors; the staff of each seek to provide the best entertainment and facilities to relieve accumulated stress. Tea, plans to overthrow/sustain the current government, refined alcohol, a massage...even other services are available to suit your fancy. Your presence will be most appreciated.
RULES
Read everything here carefully.
01. Favorite and upvote the roleplay as part of your app.
02. This roleplay is third pov and first pov. One liners are not to be a common happenstance in any room other than the IC chatroom.
03. This roleplay is not a crack roleplay. If I see everyone roleplaying in the IC chatroom and nowhere else, that will constitute an issue. Keep everything to a minimum, guys.
04. and suicide are not to be executed in any of the public rooms. If you choose to touch upon any of these topics on your walls, they must be accompanied with a trigger warning. Do note that indulging in such will be frowned upon.
05. If you choose to be a geisha/maiko, be aware that offering ual favours is optional. Only the Manjushaka - the yakuza related teahouse - hires this type of geisha/maiko. Unless otherwise stated, a geisha/maiko is solely an artisan.
06. The classes you can apply for are civilian/geisha(maiko)/samurai. The samurai class is very important as they will be the ones driving the political aspect of the roleplay - positions are fixed according to faction. See the guide.
07. Be relatively active if you join. You have 12 days before your character(s) become inactive, whereupon you receive ONE warning.
08. If your geisha/maiko provides ual services, you MUST be 16 years and over OOC. There is no compromise; my roleplay will not be the breeding ground for unwitting ia.
09. You are allowed three characters after you reach the five hundred post milestone. Your second character can be procured after one hundred posts. Your second character must belong to the other category to keep the population even.
10. Geishas are maikos (apprentices) by default when they first join. After serving five customers, they ascend to the rank of geisha.
11. There will be a room with the names of the geisha, their specialty, and their ual orientation, so citizens/customers can choose who they prefer.
12. OOC drama will result in swift removal. IC drama is fine and expected in a rated M roleplay.
13. You must have a profile up within a week of joining. Extensions can be provided if you give the admins a good reason.
14. Pregnancy is allowed, though if you are a geisha, you must retire and exclusively service the parent of your child. The role of a geisha is not limited to gender or uality and neither is pregnancy. Ergo, MPREG and FEMPREG are allowed alongside usual pregnancy.
15. To prevent everyone from being geisha, I will periodically halt applications after every 10 so that the numbers even out. As it is now, there are 3 slots available.
16. Internationals are accepted.
17. If you're a geisha, check in in the geisha list under 'Hanamachi' with your ual orientation (if you neglected to do so in your app) upon joining, please.
18. Include "ukiyo-e" in your application.

GUIDE:
Okay, so let me explain things as best as I can.
The roleplay is based on pre-Meiji era Japan, however it's not quite Japan itself. The reason for this is simply because I dislike restricting nationalities and also because most of our muses are Korean anyway. The country will therefore be referred to as the land of Wa, which is the name Japan had before it was known as 'Nippon' or 'Nihon'. The language is Japanese, though, but only you and I know that. The society is cosmopolitan because of good trade relations with neighboring and distant lands. That being said, let's talk about the classes and positions associated with each.
If you wish to apply as a geisha directly, you are eligible for the following affixed positions:
Head Geisha of Manjushaku [Yakuza] 0/1
Head Geisha of Kuroyori [Ishin Shishi] 0/1
Head Geisha of Shinsengumi 1/1
Civilian:
The civilian class means that you are an ordinary citizen. You can be a doctor, merchant, or restaurant owner.
