PROPOSAL BY: Quint McAuley

GROUP NAME: Hemporium (Head Shop)

TYPE: Head Shop

SLURL: Teleport

BACKSTORY: Openly the Hemporium will offer for sale tobacco, water pipes (bongs), cigars, pipes and hemp products such as paper and twine while also being a local artists' venue for jewelry, photography, t-shirts, poetry, pottery and posters meaning we'll sell people's art for percentage of the profit. Behind closed doors, the business will serve as a centralized location for the CD Rejects to buy, sell and trade drugs and also serve as a place for Quint to run his loan shark and bookie business.

UNIQUE: I plan to incorporate a sense of community by offering a place for local artists to display and sell their work ICly. This will not be just another business front for the Rejects (although that is part of it).

EXP:I have been around CD a long time and have taken a lesser part in many other businesses and projects. I understand sacrificing self for the benefit of the community and while I have been pretty passive in times past I feel I have the experience and longevity necessary to take on a more proactive role in the CD community. My real life has finally allowed me the time necessary to contribute and I believe I can be a positive role model. I am in good standing with the community and do my best to keep things both fun and fair at all times.

IDEAS:We'll do art fairs and sidewalk sales and involve the RP community at large in a less passive way. I even hope to have some actual goods (freebies OOC) on rotation that are actually created by local CDers. T-shirts, wall art and the like. Do competitions, contests, feature local artists in the paper and get people involved both IC and OOC.

OTHER:All things said I am mostly looking to expand my role in the CD community in a way that positively impacts all players both old and new and bring what I have to offer to the table in a constructive way. Sometimes being just a gang member limits what I can do and I think this will be a good way for me to contribute more without breaking character. This isn't just another front for the Rejects, it will be more personal and that and I have a lot of ideas to implement that everyone can get involved with.
