REWARDS
REWARDS
You can earn Bones from doing quests for any faction. If you are purchasing a reward that would be granted by your faction's leader (i.e. "breathing under water = Cordelia/Undine) it can be purchased at a discount. Rewards are either narratively requested to the Faction leaders, or can appear at random if a character would not actively wish for an item/ability but you would like them to have it.
Players are not required to pay for basic housing or anything necessary for survival.
All players are required to submit a top-level comment with their OOC name and reply to it with their character(s) names. Any time you wish to claim a reward, reply to your thread with the form below. You must link to any threads that you are claiming rewards from. You may also bank rewards if there is nothing you wish to purchase, but we recommend you bank them officially so threads are not lost.
Quest threads can be submitted at any time. However, if we notice a habit of quests being submitted with only a handful of comments and then dropped after they are turned in, we will speak with you. Use your best judgement.
You may purchase general rewards including canon powers and items for others up to 300 Bones, but not faction related rewards or full power regains. Player permission is required.
GENERAL REWARDS
100 Bones EACH
◾ SMALL POWER REGAIN: A single power from the character's canon abilities can be regained, along with all abilities under that specific power umbrella.
◾ NON-MAGICAL ITEM OR WEAPON: A single weapon (swords, knives, bows, staffs, etc. Guns can be requested and will not have ammo readily available.) Or item (jewelry, trinkets, armor, etc.) with no magical properties. Weapons/items that come in pairs or small bulk items (like twin swords or a jewelry box filled with jewelry) could be claimed under this reward.
200 Bones EACH
◾ BUSINESS LICENSE: Want to start a business in one of the major trade hubs? Get your own business license to do so! (Please head to the locations page to detail your business).
◾ SMALL FAMILIAR: A single small (average house cat size or smaller) creature or familiar.
250 Bones EACH
◾PERMANENT STAY PASS: Dead and want to stay in Caldera because, well, the alternative kind of sucks? Just really like the place and want to call it home for good? Good news, you can. With your permanent stay pass, you can remain in Caldera even after they send all the other Visitors home. Whenever that is...
300 Bones EACH
◾ FACTION CHANGE: You can change factions, and retain any faction rewards earned at a discount from your previous faction.
◾ MAGICAL ITEM OR WEAPON: A single weapon (swords, knives, bows, staffs, etc. Guns can be requested and will not have ammo readily available.) Or item (jewelry, trinkets, armor, etc.) with magical properties. Weapons/items that come in pairs or small bulk items (like twin swords or a jewelry box filled with jewelry) could be claimed under this reward.
◾ LARGE FAMILIAR: A single large creature (up to the size of a horse) or familiar. Any creature larger than a horse will be sized down accordingly.
500 Bones EACH
◾ FULL POWER REGAIN: All powers from a character's canon are regained. NOTE: Please describe the powers in your reward request. Anything game-breaking will be handled with mod discretion--if you have suggestions for nerfs, please list them in your post.
*a previous purchase of a SMALL POWER REGAIN would lower the cost per 100 Bones spent.

◾ PERSONAL MEETING WITH CHOSEN FACTION LEADER: A one-on-one meeting with the leader of the faction the character is currently aligned to. This will be an actual thread with the NPC.
Tess Donaldson | Original | Undine
Reward Request
Extra Details (if needed):
I will note that, because Tess's canonical powers are very similar in many cases to the powers granted by the Undine faction, with your permission I will have her purchasing her "physical traits" (Superhuman Strength & Stamina, light regeneration for example) as a Power Regain, with Water Breathing as the Small Power regain.
But for things like water control, swim speed/pressure tolerance, I think that I like the idea of her having to purchase those back piece by piece as an Undine, so it's a more gradual return to full power, like she's re-learning and getting better at them.
Quest Threads:
★☆☆☆☆ Kelp Me! (50 Bones)
★☆☆☆☆ Sea Turtle Scramble (50 Bones)
100 Bones Earned - 100 Bone Reward Cost = [0 Bones Banked]
Re: Reward Request
Re: Reward Request
Request 2
Extra Details (if needed):
Posting this now so I don't lose track of the quest threads. Some of these are definitely ongoing, so if you'd like this reward to be received later as the threads progress, just let me know.
Quest Threads:
Cult of Triton [4 Cultists targeted] (100 Bones)
To Pour From an Empty Well (50 Bones) + (10 Cross-Faction Bonus)
Make it or Casket (Jellyfish) (200 Bones)
[360 Bones] + [0 Bones Banked] - 250 Reward Cost = [110 Bones]
Re: Request 2
Re: Request 2
Request #3
Extra Details (if needed): As discussed in Regain 1, this is a regain request for Tess' physical abilities (But not including her hydrokinesis and ability to commune with sharks/aquatic life, which will be purchased separately.)
Tess's natural powers:
-Superhuman Strength (Can deadlift about 1 Ton and wield 1/2 Ton items as a weapon)
-Increased Durability (Her sharkskin is incredibly durable and can withstand small-arms fire, and against augmented attacks that can breach her defenses she can endure them better than a normal person.)
-Regeneration (Slower. Think Spider-Man healing broken bones in a week and concussions in a couple hours, not Wolverine or Deadpool in minutes.)
Requested Reward #2 (300 bones): "Full Power Regain"
Extra Details (if needed): Cesti fashioned from magically enchanted shark bones, fangs and leather. This magical enchantment is enhanced by a Brown and Orange Leaf from the recent festival of falling leaves.
Enchantment (if appropriate):
-Durability to endure a superhuman strength wielder without falling apart and survive combat with superhuman monsters.
-Ability to harm creatures that require magical weapons to harm them.
-Augmented luck/accuracy when attacking particularly squirrely opponents (from the leaves)
Quest Threads:
THREAD #1 - Festival of Falling Leaves (100 Bones) + (0 Cross-Faction Bonus) (Note: Saving the extra Brown and Orange leaves for my next Request.)
THREAD #2 - Horrors Unseen (200 Bones) + (50 Cross-Faction Bonus) (Minor warning for unsettling fears)
THREAD #3 - Dragons! (200 Bones) + (50 Cross-Faction Bonus) (Sky Dragon welp will be given into care of a handler, though she'll help to make sure it's raised well as per the quest.)
[600 Bones] + [110 Bones (From Last Request)] - 400 Reward Cost (Power Regain after Rebate - 300 Reward Cost (Weapon) = [New total: 10 Bones Remaining]
Notes: I don't know that her powers will need any 'nerfing.' They kind of fall within the whole "Hero must be tougher to fight the big monsters," and her other powers are very much in line with Sylph/Dryad abilities that she has to continue to buy into. let me know if you have any concerns.
Re: Request #3
Reward Request #4 - Baby's first 5 Star Quest
Extra Details (if needed): I would like it if Tess's payment for the Kracken Quest be Orla arranging the payment for her to receive the magical power returned to her/train in the power (With a 50 bone tip). It just feels kind of neat to finish a big quest with an NPC offering the training directly as a bonus, if that makes sense.
Quest Threads:
★★★★★ WRECK OF THE LEVIATHAN (200 Bones) + (200 Slay the Kracken Bonus)
[400 Bones] + [10 Previously Banked Bones] - 350 Reward Cost = [60 Bones Leftover]
