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 & MAFUYU

RANK 10 SUBMISSION: The most incredible impression Argenti had when first interacting with Mafuyu was when they were in Izou's Palace, and she fiercely did not back down when she was even just talking to Izou's shadow. The courage and mental fortitude that took stuck with him since then. As for Mafuyu, she noticed his kindness and general consideration when they started to truly interact with one another. Following that, their actual talk outside of the Palace and in the Ihop solidified Argenti's impression of Mafuyu as a kind, driven person who did not hesitate in supporting others or reaching for her dreams (this is in regards to her mentioning Kanade and going to help join up with her! even though it's clearly a group effort) Meanwhile, on Mafuyu's end, she cherished the fact that Argenti supported kindly as well as believed wholeheartedly and earnestly in her participation as well as what the Nightchords' symbolized - a band that's near and dear to Mafuyu's heart. Then, her selfless desire in reaching out to him while she was in his Palace, even though by the end of it she got pretty hurt! And even if he too was in a terrible, shattered state at the core of his heart...she accepted that too but did not find it ugly. (Remember her comment to that knight about Mafuyu recognizing the same kind of broken? That was engraved in his soul.) Argenti felt he also actually connected deeply with her when he went into her Palace even if he didn't exactly get a chance to speak this aloud acutely. The stress she felt to be perfect, that making a mistake could wind up with devastating consequences - he understood that very well. It also made him continuously want to support her no matter what - and see her for her real self, to make it clear about the true Mafuyu he has come to care for, no matter her state of brokenness. He has always known he would stand by her as well, and this solidified that sentiment even deeper. On Mafuyu's end, this was a pivotal moment that stood out to her because Argenti was the person to irrevocably make it clear that all of those present including himself loved her true self - the one that was still broken - and not the one who appeared perfect, could not make a single mistake, and essentially do not wrong. Just the true, imperfect Mafuyu who yearned to be herself. In the end, Mafuyu's kindness in coming to Fray's Palace and even offering words of support touched him deeply. The fact that both of them feel so interconnected on their issues and kindness that has been cultivated into a pillar of unrelenting, powerful support towards each other in a perfect storm that is representative of their bonds reaching rank 10!

Mafuyu was initially very intimidated by Argenti but there's few she trusts to be there when the chips are down more.
