Group: The Shinn Network
= = =
The Shinn Network is a "mobile" adults only RP that is played anywhere in SL.
TSN is an underground network spearheaded by a Sex Ed teacher determined to make sure every woman can have her Perfect Male, even if she has to have him created!
TSN Operatives scout and mark potential men to be abducted and put through intensive training in order to be transformed into TMP(tm), and who will be sold to prospective female clients at a premium price.
= = =
The basic premise begins with a Sex Ed teacher burned out with the declining prowess of the male population, who recognizes the #1 complaint from women worldwide about how out of synch males are with women at every level, and who, each time they feel they've found the perfect guy, inevitably find a clumsy, clueless, awkward, little boy in a one dimensional mansuit. And most times, not even a very attractive mansuit.
The Sex Ed teacher vowed to deliver The Perfect Male(tm) to women everywhere, and to this end, she launched an underground network (The Shinn Network) consisting of various front operations dedicated to the task of scouting and marking potential males with the right criteria to be abducted and transported to a secure facility where they undergo a highly secretive transformation program from Joe Dud to the ultimate Perfect Male.
TPMs are tagged, catalogued, and must successfully perform a number of scenario challenges to impress a panel of Female Judges in order to obtain a high enough rating to be put on Auction. Until they are sold to their prospective Female Owner Companions, they serve as Slaves. Their Rating will determine their prominance at the Auction.
THE BUSINESS OF FANTASY
One of TSN's specialty operations is the business of Fantasy. Slaves wishing to proactively increase their rank and rating may participate in the Fantasies program. Here, women may browse the catalogue of Shinn Slaves and select one or more to fulfill their romantic and/or sexual fantasies. TSN provides a selection of ready made fantasy packages for a nominal fee, and the Slave receives no compensation other than rating and feedback from the female who selected him. Custom Fantasy packages are available for a premium, with a portion of the cost going to the Slave as commission, along with his rating. Each Fantasy package the Slave performs will be noted in his profile and be viewable to potential females in search of their greatest fantasy.
The how tos and mechanics of the Fantasy For Hire business are provided in the Camp. Many Operatives are allowed to open a Fantasy service as a front operation, and may scout for potential TPM candidates to work as fantasy agents. Operatives who choose any of the front operations, who are properly trained and qualified, are encouraged to run a "legit" business of it in SL.
================
THE JUDGES
~ Consists of a panel of 12 Females proficient in the art of creating TPMs. Each month the Slaves perform a variety of tasks for The Judges to determine their rating and their ranking. The Judges' rulings are final. The Slave receiving the lowest rating and rank will be "done away with." Remaining Slaves of a certain rating may move to the next scheduled Auction.
OPERATIVES
~ Entry level members of TSN and who are properly trained in whatever skill in order to hold a position in one of the front operations. They serve as scouts and recruiters in a general sense. All members of TSN are considered Operatives, with the exception of the HQ Squad.
INSTRUCTORS
~ Operatives who prefer to hold Seduction School classes in Second Life (a realistic** seduction course for an actual fee!); they are trained in order to provide a legitimate service, but who use the course to scout and mark potential males for the Camp. Instructors may also head up other operations with TSN as needed.
AGENTS
~ Operatives assigned to solicit and recruit new members/players, and to spread the word to women in SL about the process of custom creating their TPM. A criteria is provided, along with promotional materials and incentive$.
SHINN SLAVES
~ Males who have been captured and removed to the Camp for the training program, who are still in training, or who have yet to make it to Auction.
THE PERFECT MALE(tm)
~ Upon final transformation, TPMs will move to Auction where they will be sold as property and as companion to the highest bidding Female. The TPM will receive a portion of the cost as compensation and will be officially released to his new Owner. Their relationship is strictly relegated to their own discretion and terms, and TSN is not liable for any problems incurred after the sale.
RETURN POLICY
TSN reserves the right to "do away with" any TPMs returned to the Network from unhappy or unsatisfied clients. The TPMs will be stripped of their status and ejected from the Group, no longer qualified to participate in the RP.
TRADES
Owners may elect to trade in their current TPM for the opportunity to obtain a new model at Auction with a premium discount. The traded TPM must obtain unanimous approval of The Judges before being allowed to participate at Auction in the future. The criteria for approval is up to The Judges.
TSN is being developed as an RP with opportunity to make a little $L in the business of underground human trafficking of males marked for the Camp. Marks are by invitation only - they must be hand selected by an Operative and must still pass TSN HQ qualification criteria before being apprehended for training.
If you are interested in being selected, find an Operative and RP your way to whatever front operation they have set up for themselves.
** GROUND LEVEL **
Because this is a new RP being developed, the above restriction is relaxed considerably for the time being but will eventually change. To be primed for a role as potential TPM, you should be able to upgrade your avi where necessary to obtain the Look of the TPM, and you will be expected to fill out a standard Profile dossier, with various screen shots, to be made available in the TPM Catalogue, brochures, and the TSN website. You can RP at your leisure but while engaged, you should be ready, willing and able to treat it seriously enough to fulfill the tasks assigned to you. TSN is not a "chatty group" and it is not designed for a "quick nut" - it is an actual story with an actual objective that is RPd in many branches. The same general rule applies for all roles and positions within the Network. Please consider your time investment before jumping in. If you are off SL more than you are on, please consider a general level membership that does not require carrying the story itself.
The Network itself is mobile and not restricted to any particular RP sim. There are scores of amazingly cool sims in Second Life, many of which remain empty and might appreciate the traffic. Members would be the mainline group, but are free to branch out with their favorite storylines anywhere in SL. Operatives are encouraged to scout and mark at any location they feel comfortable.
After the first of the year, (i.e. sometime in the spring, i.e. tax return time!) a sim will be purchased for an official HQ. Given the monthly tier fees, group donations will be appreciated, but also TSN will host a variety of public events to help draw an income to put toward tier.
Thanks for taking a little time to familiarize yourself with The Shinn Network. Don't forget to submit your notecard to Nikki Shinn if you are interested in working on this RP in development.
Yours, In World
Nikki Shinn
========
**1: Realistic: In my RL, I have a substantial history in the study of our Human Mating Behavior so have the education and skills to provide a relatively fun and lighthearted "training class" for men and women in the art of mating. The clients would receive factual information with immediate practical value. Because the course is part of an RP, it would not be substantial training in human mating behavior, but enough meat provided to make it worth their time and money. The Operative would recieve the basics and may then instruct the course in his/her own unique manner. The operation itself, however, is RP and scouting for interested players to join the Network as a potential TPM(tm).
TSN WEBSITE
The website is being developed and will take on a highly realistic perspective in a RL sense. I prefer to leave the opportunity open for an RL version of this RP, working with a "secret society" nuance. If you are interested in helping to develop this RL secret society based around this RP, do contact me for more details. For the record, this is all for entertainment purposes only, even the secret society - however, a little mystique to play with in real life is always a bonus!
