COMPANY OVERVIEW
What type of company are you applying for? (Business or Shop):
Shop
What will the company’s name be?:
Maison Chevalier
What kinds of services or items will your company offer?:
Maison Chevalier will be a luxury jewelry and accessories boutique, offering:
- High-end jewelry (bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings) crafted from gold, platinum, and rare gemstones.
- Limited-edition timepieces and bespoke watches.
- Luxury eyewear and accessories with precious metal frames and subtle gemstone detailing.
- Custom commissions for personalized, one-of-a-kind pieces.
- Exclusive private unveilings, auctions, and VIP-only events for high-profile clients.
Maison Chevalier will merge traditional European craftsmanship with modern Japanese precision to create a brand unlike any other on Norowarejima.
Its uniqueness lies in:
- Prestige-first approach: Every piece is treated as a work of art, not just merchandise.
- VIP experience: Private appointments, discreet transactions, and tailored designs.
- Networking hub: Events will attract influential figures, subtly encouraging both legal and "unspoken" deals in a refined environment.
- Symbolism: Pieces can carry hidden messages, designs, or symbolic meaning for those who understand them making the shop a silent broker of influence as much as a retailer.
In Norowarejima’s upper commercial district, ideally near other high-end establishments and in proximity to political and cultural venues. The location should match the boutique’s luxury image and be easily accessible for both local elites and visiting dignitaries.
Do you have a designated builder for your company’s building?:
None specifically. As long as they can handle the style requested, I'm totally fine with it!
Please show at least 5 references for the exterior and interior of your company building:
Interior:
The interior will be a blend of opulence and contemporary sophistication. The boutique will feature warm, ambient lighting, polished marble or high-gloss flooring, and walls adorned with mirrored and gold-accented surfaces to enhance the sense of grandeur. The centerpiece of the store will be a chandelier that adds an air of luxury while softly illuminating the showroom. Display cases will be positioned with ample space between them, ensuring a private and intimate shopping experience. Each jewelry piece will be housed in well-lit, glass cases with velvet-lined interiors, elevating their presentation.
Interior (Bonus, if possible):
A VIP consultation lounge will be available for exclusive clients, providing a comfortable yet sophisticated setting for private viewings and personalized commissions. The shop’s overall design will focus on graceful symmetry, high-end materials, and an atmosphere that immediately communicates prestige and exclusivity.
Keep in mind it's quite hard to find a good reference for a VIP area for this kind of establishments. However, I think this sort of represents the idea.
Exterior:
The façade will be grand and imposing, exuding elegance with a mix of classical architecture and modern refinement. Inspired by Graff’s storefront, the entrance will feature ornate detailing, gold-accented signage, and a well-lit display window showcasing the boutique’s finest pieces. A set of tall, decorative doors will mark the entrance, symbolizing exclusivity and ensuring that every visit feels like stepping into a world of prestige. Subtle lighting and minimalist landscaping with neatly trimmed bushes or planters will add to the refined atmosphere.
How do you intend to stay active?:
By hosting regular VIP unveilings, seasonal events, and auctions, Maison Chevalier will remain a consistent presence in the RP community. The shop will also operate on a flexible schedule, opening during peak server activity and by appointment for exclusive clientele. This ensures activity is tied to roleplay, not just sales, keeping the business relevant to both public and private RP scenes.
How will you pay your employees?:Employees will be paid a fair salary per shift, with bonuses for assisting in large sales, private commissions, or exclusive events. This ensures motivation and rewards initiative. For high-level staff such as the General Manager, performance-based incentives will also be in place.

Early Life
Abraham’s story began in an orphanage in France, registered under the placeholder surname LeClair. No one knew who his parents were, though there were rumors of both French and German heritage. His early years were marked by instability: he was intelligent but withdrawn, the kind of child who observed more than he spoke. His life changed when he was adopted by the Ivankov family, a Russian household with strong ties to organized crime. His adoptive brother, Yankov Ivankov, would later become the family’s leader. This adoption pulled Abraham from France and into the cold streets and disciplined structure of Russia, where the Ivankov name commanded both fear and respect.
Military Service & Transformation
As soon as he was of age, Abraham entered the Russian Armed Forces. His military career sharpened his discipline, survival skills, and ability to act under pressure. It also exposed him to violence and war. The burn scar and the loss of his left eye were the result of a mission gone wrong in Sr. The incident not only scarred his face but hardened his resolve. When he left the service, Abraham had no intention of returning to civilian obscurity. His skills made him valuable, and his lack of fear made him dangerous.
Criminal Career
Abraham first entered the underworld under Ardit Bashkimi, higher up of the Albanian mob. In that role, he proved himself to be a relentless enforcer, accumulating over 125 confirmed kills across six years (real numbers from 2018 to 2025). These were not random acts of violence but calculated removals: rivals, witnesses, and contracted targets. The Bashkimi grew so powerful that they rivaled even the established Black Market leadership in Karakura, before being dismantled in 2018–2019 after an aggressive purge by server authorities. Abraham survived the collapse, moving through various gangs and mobs notably the ZERO TOLERANCE gang a very violent but powerful gang that made it all the way up to Verified Gang, even running his own Russian mob for a time. By 2025, he had become a bounty hunter for Karakura’s Black Market, a position that suited his lone-wolf tendencies while keeping him close to the core of power. But Norowarejima called to him, and he left for the island, quickly establishing himself as the Right Hand to the elusive Mr. M the executor of BM will, arbiter of disputes, and enforcer of tribute.
Maison Chevalier & the Ivankov-Chevalier Branch
The Chevalier family, known for its noble lineage and strict heritage standards, had always kept its bloodline carefully guarded. For centuries, they operated within the highest levels of French society, their influence extending through luxury craftsmanship, political connections, and discreet business dealings. Abraham’s connection to them began as a fragment of rumor from his earliest days in the French orphanage: a thin, forgotten file that hinted at a distant maternal link to the Chevaliers. This branch had been struck from the official records generations ago after a relative married outside the approved bloodline, blending French nobility with German heritage. The main family regarded them as a shadow lineage, unacknowledged but never entirely erased.
Years later, while operating as a bounty hunter for Karakura’s Black Market, Abraham crossed paths with Émeric Chevalier the Supreme Leader of the family and head of the Maison Chevalier brand. Their meeting was not by chance. Émeric had done his research, tracing a chain of subtle records, orphanage archives, and genetic clues. Though Abraham’s claim to the name was far from pure, Émeric saw more than just blood... he saw a man shaped by hardship, disciplined by the military, and proven in the crucible of organized crime. With Norowarejima becoming an increasingly important hub of wealth and underground dealings, Émeric made a strategic move. He declared the creation of the Ivankov-Chevalier Branch, bypassing the usual council debates. Publicly, this was framed as a cultural and business expansion, placing a "cousin" in charge of the family’s Norowarejima holdings. Privately, it was the placement of a trusted operator in a city where both high society and the underworld intertwined.
Maison Chevalier in Norowarejima would serve as the perfect front: a luxury jewelry and accessories boutique blending French artistry with Japanese precision, catering to the island’s elite. Its VIP rooms and private events would provide cover for discreet negotiations, high-value exchanges, and the quiet networking of a new French Mob presence. For the public, it was refinement and culture; for those who knew better, it was a gate into a world where wealth and power were brokered behind closed doors.

Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I’m committed to making Maison Chevalier a lasting and engaging part of Yurei Jima, blending prestige, craftsmanship, and immersive roleplay for the community.
