business directory
Here you will find not only the directory of all businesses located in the land of Zodion, but also the application. Below we'll run through some ground rules/faqs and the like to make the process easy for everyone involved. Please be sure to read through everything on this page and anything linked before asking questions.

I want to own a business! What do I have to do?
First, you need to gather your information. We would like to see what you have in mind and how it would be likely to be set up. For an example, click
here. Once that's been taken care of, just fill out the app form below and send it on to the mods for review!
My character doesn't have money... can I still open a business?
Yes. Since we play in a fictional land, it's easier to pretend and make things happen that can't in the real world vis a vis business opportunities. Your character may apply for a loan at Blazar (the bank in Z) and make a down payment with the money given to them by the gods. Your character will be given a payment book and will have to repay the bank... in not so orthodox ways. This is a sex game, after all.
What unorthodox ways...?
Basically, your character will still have to make monetary payments, but there's no fun and no CR in that. So! While your characters are "diligently" working in their fancy new shops for money, they'll also have a different sort of payment hanging over their head. Each character that starts a business, will be given six months to repay their loan. It can be paid off earlier (no less than three months, though!) We're not going to be monitoring this, so it's left entirely up to the players to work out or handwave.
Here's where the fun part comes in :) During the months your character is paying off their loan (which would be from 3-6 months), the owner(s) of the shop will have to double up on worshiping each month. Which means instead of the aphro kicking in every four weeks, it's kicking in every two weeks. Events may or may not count, it's up to the players.
That doesn't seem fair.
Paying off a loan for a business in six months isn't fair either. But! This is more exciting and fun. Of course, you do not have to log anything of this nature-everything is free to be handwaved. We just want a little more sexiness in the game.
What sort of businesses do you accept?
All of them! Anything you feel like creating, we will most likely accept! Do try to be a little creative, though! We know it's easy to open a restaurant/cafe but we don't want fifty billion in game right now. Please note, that depending on how many applications we get, we may do accepts in staggered tiers. Everyone can't be opening businesses at once. But, we can't make this sort of call just yet, as we don't know what the interest is right now. We will keep everyone updated.
What stipulations are there to owning a business?
We ask that your character(s) applying for the business have been in game for at least two months. We'd like to see some stability in the players who will eventually own a business here.
Can we take over a business already in game?
This is possible! There aren't too many to take over, but a changing of hands is possible. You will have to contact the mods for more details though.
Can we work for NPC businesses without wanting to own or take them over?
Yes! Chances are there wont be enough PC businesses to support all the characters in the game, so you are free to handwave your character working for some NPC business or another. While this has been more or less true since about a month after the start of the game, characters are free to assume that any particular business might have been slightly more reserved in hiring non-natives for fear they might up and leave them stranded and only recently started coming around after the Battle of Crux.
