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.

YI SANG & MAFUYU

RANK 10 SUBMISSION: Second dad and daughter :)

Okay, here's the write-up:

Yi Sang was probably not the first to realize Mafuyu was a troubled prosekai teen, he learned about her broken phone early on, which was really important to her. Mafuyu was so honest with him about what caused it to break too (her abusive mother), as painful at it was to recall that. He promised to fix it the best he could. Then they go into Izou's castle, eat at a Dennyhops's as a celebration and in the meantime connect in ways that would surprise eachother, like teaming up to mess with Izou who wanted hugs (they provided). They can be silly, your honor.

But, later Yi Sang gets a better idea of how deep and painfully relatable some of Mafuyu's emotional scars, because he's been there and has similar scars, they've both been through suicidal low points with bad coping mechanisms. He kind of takes on a parental figure for Mafuyu since escorting her back to the dorms that time. Formerly depressed dad and depressed, accidentally adopted daughter... He just wants her to be okay.

Then Mafuyu has her palace (she's not okay), and Yi Sang is having none of the Queen/Cognitive Mafuyu's Mom bullshit. Maybe called her a bitch too, he was done with her delusional excuses. He also coincidentally found and protected Mafuyu's heart from the Queen until he knew he couldn't do it safely and passed it on. He's not like her, he knows he's not the only one who truly cares about her. But, the fact that she seeks him out really means a lot to him.

At this point he's a very hands off, but still doting and attentive parent, whoops. But! They appreciate each other's more mellow company too, which is a nice reprieve from things as... Taxing as Nekyia-related activities can be. It's good to just chill and vibe, the fact they can is character development, probably.

Tsuyu put it perfectly, Mafuyu and Yi Sang have a very quiet but warm and close bond, comparitive to sitting by a fire with a cozy blanket on a rainy afternoon. She loves him dearly, especially after he lured her Heart back out in her palace.
