Character-run Businesses
Character-run businesses are those that the guests to Death City have established themselves. Of course, the aspiring entrepreneurs would first require capital to do so, which they can earn by having jobs, joining missions, or earning rewards from Shibusen.
All character-run businesses are located in several buildings that have been reserved just for the guests. These are the buildings A - E that you can see on the map above. Each unit is pretty decently sized, at 8x10 meters. Some owners may rent more than one unit if needed, as long as they have the funds to do so. Rent is at 500 death dollars a month for each unit.
Some businesses have also been created in locations outside of these buildings. Again, as long as these are explained ICly and have gained proper mod approval, that is a-okay.
To apply for a business, just fill out the application below:
Business Name: The Name of your Business
Building Letter and Unit Number: As stated. Please make sure that the unit you want hasn't been claimed yet, and make sure that you know the location of your business.
Nature of Business: What your business is about, its goals and objectives, and what you do.
Owner's Inbox: All business owners are required for have a character inbox. Click here for a sample.
Number of Employees Needed: How many people you want in your business. These are people you will have to wage to, so it's important to think about this carefully!
Employee Job Descriptions: What you want your employees to do.
Notes: Any particulars about the kind of applicants you want to see in your business? Any other comments you want to add?
It's important to remember that this application will represent your business to all those interested. The slots in the units will only link to your comment.
If a character is dropped, the business is automatically removed from the registry unless requested and all workers in that business will become unemployed. Businesses need owners, after all. A change in owner is acceptable provided that a new business description is submitted in this page.
The mods will not be keeping track of character-run businesses and jobs outside of this page.

- This is not your regular "go to the office everyday and do work hours" job, so please make sure you read about it here.
- Black Mesa belonged to Matt, and then to Duo Maxwell, who then passed it on to Near. It remains exactly the same as when Matt created it, except for the addition of a new job position: clerk/secretary, to keep all paperwork and everything else in check.
