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.

<b>RANK 10 SUBMISSION:</b> Please give us, at minimum, 3 sentences on why your characters have reached Rank 10 in their social link. Please provide at least 1 thread for us to look at. There is no penalty for not writing more than 3 sentences. After the initial form submission, please ask the other half of your CR to reply to your comment with confirmation that you are both on the same page.

ARGENTI & MAIKA

[beautifulknight]

RANK 10 SUBMISSION: Their first meeting was cryptid to cryptid conversation, with them getting to know one another. Immediately their bonds were tested thoroughly by the time murder happened with emotions running high between them - Maika attempting to bait Argenti, and Argenti rubbing salt in wounds by refusing to fall to bait. Argenti kept on running into Maika and working with her despite their explosive and emotional kind-of fallout. Through it all, Argenti thought more and more she was at least a combatant who could watch his back, and resolved to watch hers without telling her. Maika was equal parts infuriated by him and distrusting, inclined to believe that his baseless assertion that she's not a monster could be taken back as lightly as it's given. She regarded him as someone volatile to watch — but she's still conscious of the fact that he's helping her, and she intended to pay that back in kind while she tried to understand the motives behind his actions. Then, everything began to truly change when Maika chased him down out of (not) concern, and Argenti attempted to bait her into a fight and terrible insults...realizations occurred on both ends. For Argenti, that she truly cared somewhere, and Maika that as unreliable as she felt Argenti to be, his desire to protect the people in the city wasn't entirely a farce. She's also a little surprised to find that she can be stung by him appearing to think the worst of her; that while she hadn't been willing to trust his warm words, she's on some level hurt to find that she was right to be skeptical. She wanted to see Argenti in his right mind again to get her real answers. Then, came time when the Palace showed Argenti's fears, despair, grief, loneliness, and twisted emotions. Argenti himself further realized Maika's cares ran deep, and Maika felt she could finally understand and rationalize his actions. While she still disagreed with him killing Fuyu, she begian to believe that he might be an honorable man in a difficult position rather than just a zealot. The parallels in their situations and their histories softened her perspective on him considerably. Following that, they hung out at the Izakaya, had a heart to heart...and then, a deeper moment of connection with the dreamshare wherein both spoke on similarities of the harshness of their experiences/worlds. Realization came that they felt comfortable with one another to divulge such deep thoughts mutually...ergo, they are now Rank 10!

THREAD: Dreamshare Introspective

[bloodandstars]

my Maika notes are already folded into Lum's wonderful writeup, but... yes! That's how it is. She would shove this man into a fountain, your honor, but she'd have his back and she feels like she finally deeply understands him (derogatory) (affectionate???)

You feel as though your bond has become unbreakable...

Argenti and Maika have learned the following skill:

EVERY ROSE HAS ITS THORNS: Argenti's rose garden takes on a more lethal form now, buffeted by an electric storm provided by Maika. Argenti and Maika may choose to grant up to three characters per turn who attack from within the rose garden the equivalent of an attack boost in the form of an additional hit of Psychic or Lightning damage, manifesting either as psychic-enhanced rose vines or electric-infused thorns tearing through enemies.

OOCly, Argenti or Maika rolls a 1d20 and combines their rolls with an ally in addition to taking their own action. They can choose to grant this additional roll to each other, or to other player characters, so long as no more than three characters per turn receive this damage buff. For combined rolls, 20 and above will be considered a crit, and anything under 20 (including 10 or lower) will be considered a regular hit.

This pair ability may be triggered by either party and lasts for three turns, including the turn it is activated. The garden fades out of existence after the third turn. This ability cannot be used at the same time as any other Rank 10 pair ability involving Argenti or Maika, and can only be used once per battle.
