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.

THIS ENDED UP SO LONG I'm sorry, but in summary:

Aaron's impression of Argenti was definitely in the pits after he confessed to Fuyu's murder, particularly since the forced honesty was a deliberate provocation by the God of Conflict, so he came out of that conversation feeling like the other man was short-sighted and reckless at best. Since it had also been their first time conversing, he was also reluctant to take Argenti's words and actions at face value, so he was inclined to keep a wary eye on him, largely because he didn't want a repeat incident occurring.

However, they ended up fighting together a couple times, mostly because of circumstance. The first was for a Nekyia commission and then there was what happened in Jordi's palace, and the latter is largely where he started reevaluating his opinion some. While he was still inclined to dislike the man, Aaron began to recognize that Argenti was a sincere person who cared for others, which was a large part of why he was the first option that came to mind for holding Jordi's funeral.

By the time Argenti went missing, Aaron had also been reassigned to room 301, so he noticed the absence right away. Although he still didn't really like Argenti, he wasn't inclined to leave it alone because of what happened with Jordi and Yoon. As such, his decision to get involved was due to wanting to screw over the God of Conflict more rather than anything else.

Then the actual palace happened!! He was initially inclined to treat it like business as usual, and while he did manage to see bits and pieces of Argenti's past, he still wasn't all that sympathetic... up until the final boss battle happened. In particular, the stage where Argenti's transformation resulted in him forgetting who he was reminded Aaron briefly of one of his own experiences, which motivated him to actually try and bring Argenti back to himself. The burn to his shitty ocarina playing ironically helped too, because it did stoke a feeling of friendly rivalry in him. Bonus points for also being where Fray/Argenti happened, so he could now tease them both about it!!!

Then what happened during memshare week was a big deal on Aaron's end, because Argenti got to see one of the lowest points in his life. A lot of what Argenti said paralleled a lot of what a close canonmate had told him, and this helped him break out of the memory and reaffirm his identity. And despite how Aaron tried to play it off, he was ultimately grateful that Argenti supported him and tried to remind him of who he was at every turn. I am also now proud to say he would now trust Argenti's discretion when it comes to murder targets, because sue him, he's biased!!

To cap it all off, they're coming full (or half, i guess) circle because the ocarina competition is Real and Aaron is going to do so good because I rolled a nat20. Like their CR, it's a wholeass turnaround from where they started!!!
