After much thought and good sense knocked into me, here's my revised idea:
The White Diamond Burlesque Co. will be a high end burlesque for powerful or wealthy clients who desire a fine woman(or man) to entertain and delight them with song and dance. Every weekend the WDBC will host Burlesque shows featuring its scantily clad girls performing musical numbers, plays, dances, and other assorted entertainment. On the week days the WDBC can host parties for other factions, places and make calls for events.
The WDBC will be a respectable business(of sorts), having only the most charming workers. The workers themselves will be guarded by the Madam Wyxtra the White(who is no offense a powerbuild, so she will not have a hard time protecting her employees).
As Host/Hostesses/Waitresses, the employees will be paid to spend time with the clients. The employees choose how they wish to employ themselves as long as they do so for the clients(but their will be entertainmnt provided)
The main goal of the faction itself is to entertain clients and guests of the house, all the while making money.
What is needed and required:
1. All characters(except guards) must have either a couple levels of Rogue or Bard, as well as increased CHA. I'd prefer bards mainly...but rogues can be accepted.(Guards are exempt from this)
2. All players involved(meaning in the faction) by agreeing to participate waive escapement of Perma death if they betray, infiltrate, or otherwise harm the faction as a whole(this is to keep spies from simply waltzing in without fear of consequences)
3. All religions are allowed, provided said religion is kept outside of work.
4. I would prefer players who can meet at American time zones(I myself am Pacific Standard time). This is only temporary until I find someone in another timezone as a partner who I can trust to help run things while I am away.
6. All employees will collect fees BEFORE performing their duties as Host/etc. A thrity percent cut will be taken for the House(and no not my pocket the money will be entirely devoted to rent, advertisement, and so forth)
7. In the Burlesque ALL employees save the guards and Madam will be scantily clad(or at least dressed in a sexy fashion), after all we need to leave something to the imagination but a little skin is always good...but no complete nudes. This will be a very tasteful Burlesque.
Alrighty..now that the rules have been set forth, we'll need characters who are not only attractive, but unique, slightly witty, and sure of themslves. To that end I have some special circumstances when concerning what exactly is attractive, what is expected, and how many are needed in terms of numbers.
What is attractive is relative to some people(eye of the beholder and all that) so the numbers of types of employees should be not exact but close to these numbers.
To that end all races/sexes/creeds/religions are allowed provided they have high cha concerning good looks when concerning their race(ie a goblin...but a pretty goblin to other goblins)
These are important in terms of providing the most diverse options for clients...that said, we also will take gnomes, dwarves, golbins, kobolds...anything actually....provided they have these basic traits:
1. They must provide good company....and sometimes be expected to be able to conversate about a variety of topics. (characters of low intellect will not be taken seriously nor considered for employment)
2. They must be willing to sometimes do...unorthdox things...since we are providing services to the clients they may have a perticular type of party that requires costumes and such.
3. Must be willing to undergo examination by the Madam, to ensure every body part is in working order and that there are few scars(this is done a more professional doctor patient way).
4. Must be willing to maintain their bodies and try to keep scar free(there is a caveat to this though. Atleast one person may worship those like Loviatar and such, any scars they do to themselves is only by their own choice. They will be more expensive and only be scarred or hurt as they are willing to endure.)
--------------
I also need a couple guards. I would prefer any race but they must have the tall and brooding Orc phenotype body(thin or fat). They must look imposing...and height matters. These guards will not be entertainment...they are there to guard the Madam or the entertainers.
The employees themselves are the most important aspect of the business..without them there would be no business....as such any employee being harrassed in the Burlesque(or even if they dislike the character) can call a guard and have said nuissance thown out. It'll be the customers choice whether they wanna leave in one piece or many.
Employees however cannot ask guards to attack anyone outside the Burlesque. The Guards will however defend the entertainers if the entertainers are physically threatened.
This is also a partially criminal organization of sorts. We will shelter outlaws, provide hiding and information, and other things....for a price of course.
Our House will not discriminate. All business is welcome. In order to maintain a good relation with the city I actually find an open house in to use, we will donate a small portion of funds to the city itself.
The Clients themselves are the second most important thing after the employees. The clients are to be treated with respect. To lose clients is to lose the very foundation of the business. The clients themselves are to be kept in secrecy.
Side jobs are prohibited(meaning to get money from clients on the side without giving the house its cut). Tips are not included in this. Every employee will have a set price so the cut povided to the house will always be the same unless the price itself changes, at which point the Houses cut will also be adjusted.
I am halfway to getting the money I need for the largest place availiable for a month...but I am not going to purchse the place until I have an idea if players even want to be involved.
Anyone who finds this idea interesting may post on this thread, and express their ideas for their perfect escort character. Though I have set guidelines above for what types of escorts I am looking for....I am always open to different things(tieflings, aasimars, you name it).
Feedback would be much appreciated.
edited PS I kept scantily clad because in essence they want the employees dressed sexy.

The only thing I'd like to suggest is to be careful with the scantily clad dress code. It'd be very hard to have a reputation of a high end establishment while also having girls half naked, I'd think. Otherwise it would attract the wrong sorts (not wealthy clients) and degrade into something akin to Amian Hooters (no offense!
