PROPOSAL BY: Legion Afterthought

GROUP NAME: Weaver Arms

TYPE: Recreational Activites

SLURL: Teleport

BACKSTORY: James has ICly been living in Hathian for approximately eleven years to date (from age 28 to 39) and through his time on the streets he has learned much about how the streets work and familiarized himself with a lot of the community and one thing that he has analyzed throughout his travels is that there is quite a massive sum of people in Hathian who are incapable of effectively defending themselves from assailants when the necessary moment may arise. Putting the billions of dollars he has stored away in his bank account together with his extensive training from the Marine Special Forces (MARSOC) that granted James an extensive fighting capability along with that of knowing how to properly wield about any firearm, he has come up with the idea to form an establishment that will serve the citizens of Hathian by granting them courses to learn both Hand-To-Hand combat along with the proper methods to wield a firearm themselves.

UNIQUE: Apart from the gym which only really involves itself with the act of allowing the citizens a place to exercise their muscles and improve their overall physical condition, there really is no place where anyone can enhance their combative abilities without actually having to get into a brawl. I expect that this will be a fun business where roleplayers can come to exercise their character not only ICly, but also obtain a greater knowledge of the proper methods to fight OOCly to avoid conflict between other players in the future. Also, there will be a firing range located in the building where characters can go and shoot off rounds to improve their aim without worry of any cops interfering.

EXP:I may have had a rough start through the first few months that I was a part of the Crack Den which involved me being reported to moderators for breaking this rule or that rule, or I'd even simply say something that would offend the general public or ruin a roleplay scenario but I honestly believe that I have managed to move past that stage and I learned from my flaws which now contributes by helping me know how to better resolve OOC isues when they arise before it sparks up to a full-out conflict between two people. As for James, much like I stated above, he has extensive experience in all combative trades which will make for a more accurate portrayal of how to actually train someone when it comes down to learning how to fight. In addition, before following through with anything major I *ALWAYS* research every possible detail about the topic to ensure that I don't leave anything out and it's as realistic as possible. Just read James' backstory for proof! 😛

IDEAS:As I stated earlier once again, not only will this business enhance the fighting capability of IC characters through Hathian upon their request, but there will also be minor OOC tutoring for those that are in need of such to emphasize the combat guide for people that can't fully comprehend what it is that's being explained in the guide. As the business gets more employees and customers I also intend for James to run on small 'hunting expeditions' through Hathian just for the sake of what could be a fun roleplay, both IC and OOC. If I recall correctly, I seem to believe that there is an issue with birds that are always flying around Hathian and are presumably a nuisance to anyone that visits the docks.. 😉 Then of course there is the fact of the extensive criminal background that James carries around with himself and how that would relate to the business and thus far - I am not sure, but I am certain that he would be bound to figure something out down the line of how this business would better his criminal lifestyle and when that moment does arrive, I definitely will make damn sure it's fun! Then in regards to how the business will be promoted, I will see to it that it's not only advertised in the newspaper when it opens, but also I hope I can be allowed to have flyers posted up around town.

OTHER:This business will also serve as a shop that will trade in melee weaponry (specifically small things like combat knives, hand-held tasers, mace, body armor, etc) but I presume that will only find itself to be a minor part of the roleplay that I experience with the business - maybe even the items that my shop will sell can bring in some roleplay with the cops when they need to come in and get near gear! If I could so generously be granted permission by any of the admins I would also like to be able to trade firearms ICly in the business, but I of course won't have anything against being disallowed such. PS: I know the name is kinda cheesy, feel free to recommend any new names to me if any of you can think one up! I'm horrible with names ):
