REWARDS
INFO

    We have three tiers of rewards available, all of which have more information down below. Please fill out the appropriate forms (you may combine different tiers into one comment) and follow the formatting below.
TIER 1: COMMISSIONS

    Completing commissions from the biweekly Job Boards count towards bonuses. All you need to do is have completed the commission, or have the thread be a total of 10 comments minimum (so at least 5 per character). In the case of the latter, it is okay if the commission is still in progress; as long as it's the focus of the thread and 10 comments in. You may give us multiple submissions for the same job, as long as they are with different characters.

    Commissions are eligible for rewards up to 1 month after the commission was posted.

    Rewards in this tier are generic items that come with effects upon usage/consumption, or generic items that feature your character in them in some capacity! Commission rewards may also occasionally include items that are specific or relevant to the commissions themselves. These commission-specific rewards will be given once per person, per commission, which means that you cannot earn the reward 3 times for submitting 3 threads involving the same commission.

    Note: Your first commission turn-in for the month will net you some new abilities that you can play with! These would typically be given with AC, but redeeming commissions will enable you to play with these abilities a little earlier. This bonus will begin from the end of Week 2.

TIER 2: PLAYER EVENTS/EXPLORATIONS

    Player Events are defined as player-run events that are considered game-wide player plots. For example, a mingle, someone causing trouble for everyone in the dorms, breaking up a large fight -- anything big where the whole game can get involved. Smaller plots (i.e. ones that are for 3 people) do not count.

    Explorations are defined as mod-run CYOAs (choose your own adventures) that may pop up throughout the course of the game.

    Threads must be a minimum of 10 comments, one submission per event per player. For Player Events, event runners may submit their post/initial writeups for a reward in this tier.

    Threads in this tier do not expire and will always be eligible for rewards.

    Rewards in this tier are gacha items that were submitted to us through your applications.

TIER 3: RANK 10 SOCIAL LINKS

    This is meant to be a "late game" sort of reward tier (though these can be submitted at any time), in which both players must agree that their characters have "maxed out" their bonds. Maxing out doesn't necessarily need to be in a positive way; essentially, both parties must hit a point in their CR where they feel as though they have revealed as much about themselves to one another as they possibly could have, even if they both feel negatively about one another.

    For positive CR, this may mean that characters trust one another completely; for negative CR, this may mean that a character understands how the other operates, but disagrees entirely with the other's ideology. We are pretty flexible on the reasoning behind achieving a Rank 10 Social Link, however, so don't worry too much about providing the "perfect reason". As long as both parties feel like they've established an extremely strong piece of CR, we'll likely count any reasoning towards the reward.

    A reward for maxing out a social link is a custom ability that both parties will receive. There is no cap on submissions at this time, but both parties must be present in a battle to use the ability they have received.

    Please follow the instructions in the form below when submitting for a Rank 10 reward.

ARGENTI & AERITH

RANK 10 SUBMISSION: Their first meeting, the two hit off the conversation with one another well, bonding in holding some similarities in perspective, and genuinely enjoying making art. But soon enough, their bonds were put to the test when Argenti killed Ushirono, with Aerith taking a neutral stance as opposed to most, even with the conflict in her heart. Though even if Argenti appreciated it, he recognized that she was affected deeply by what he did, and didn't want it all to end on that note, because he already considered her a friend. Soon, he reached out to Aerith, not only because he considered them friends, but she had put so much of herself out there, and he intended to offer her a chance to ask anything and know personal details in turn that he refused to tell in the meeting. Surprisingly, despite the strain, the two of them entered a deep conversation surrounding Ushirono, change, as well as their respective backgrounds. Though matters had yet to be completely removed from being complicated...both of them clearly began to understand one another more. Following that, having not expected her or thinking he deserved her consideration, Argenti hoped to turn her away in his Palace, but Aerith stubbornly persisted, caring too much to do otherwise. Argenti then learned more about her situation in the dreamscape, and felt closer in knowing her even more because of the circumstances. Aerith continued to show her support in the wake of Fray's disappearance and later on when the Palace formed as well; afterwards, Argenti decided to end up shopping with her in the midst of thanking her, where they continued to bond over a simple activity. But, for the both of them it was clearly meaningful in how deep their bonds had progressed...to Rank 10!

lum summed it up so, so well! they have been through a lot of troubling things, and yet their budding friendship managed to persist and turn into something truly ~Beautiful~!! growing stronger through hardship has truly been the theme of their cr and they have definitely managed to forge a bond strong enough to be rank 10
