Shard Spending
• Rewards •
The Gist of It
All characters receive a crystal pendant upon arrival. This crystal harnesses energy from those characters and the people around them via interactions and emotions. This energy is called a shard, and it can be exchanged for an item or power of their choice. To do this, your character will need to approach the giant crystal in the center of the town and press their pendant against it, giving it the power they have harnessed. They can then make their wish, and given the right amount of energy, it will manifest.
Characters can wish for an item, power, animal companion or request for a specific event to happen. Characters who require certain items for sustenance (e.g. vampires who need blood to survive) do not have to wish for this through rewards. You can assume the item they need will be readily provided.
Wishes can be IC or they can be something your character did not ask for. In the latter situation, simply assume the crystal had read their innermost desire/random thought, or that the Overseer is just messing with them.
How it works
After submitting threads on the Banking page and having them verified by a mod, players may use banked shards to submit a rewards request using the form below, and a mod will grant the request in due time. Your character's wish will then manifest however you wish it to e.g. they will regain a power right there and then, or they'll go home and find that magical sword they want sitting on their bed. It's also possible to use shards to grant wishes on behalf of other people.
Players may submit multiple rewards requests per month, provided they have banked shards available.

WISHES (Setting)
Claimable Powers:
- Canon powers already owned by your character can be reclaimed.
Unless opting to reclaim all powers at once, 150 shards typically regain 1 special ability. This comprises of an umbrella of related abilities. For example, all fire-related abilities (the ability to blast fire, the ability to heat things up, resistance to fire) count as 1.
- We will not be approving abilities powerful enough to destroy a large part of the city unless they can be nerfed heavily. The limit to destructive power should be the ability to destroy 1 house.
- Mind-reading or mind control powers can be reclaimed but can only be used with consent from other players.
- Teleportation powers can be reclaimed but they only work within the land not covered by crystal, and in the lands beyond with the usual distance restrictions. When teleporting into character's homes, there needs to be some OOC discussion beforehand.
- New powers can be granted through rewards, as mentioned above. Reasonably generic powers or powers learned from another character in-game can be granted at the 200 point reward. Anything extremely unique or powerful can be discussed with the team upon submission, but may be denied altogether or be extremely expensive.
- Potion power upgrades are only available to characters with the basic potion power. You can't get full blue potion healing unless you already have the blue potion, you can't get full gold potion animal shapeshifting unless you already have the gold potion, et cetera.
Requesting items on another character's behalf: Characters cannot request powers, licenses, residences or large rewards for another character, but they can request small items. Please check with the character's player before doing this; if you do not mention their consent on the form, we will ask.
Cooperative wishing and miscellaneous requests: We'll approve cooperative reward requests on a case by case basis. Just ask under the header below!
If there's something you want that isn't on the list or you have some doubts, feel free to ask below! Please note that mods have the last say in all regains.
Please use the following form for submissions, do not link gdocs or other external spreadsheets!
(Delete whichever parts don't apply.)

NAO MIZUSHITA
REWARD SUBMISSION 001
Character Name and username: Nao Mizushita (
Requested Reward: REGAINS: All Canon Powers
Reward Cost: 400
Extra Details: Navigational ability re: Nao’s sixth/spiritual sense will stall and/or become confused in locations like the Labyrinth so she can't just solve for X.
Illusions and the detection, reading, and tracking of individual spiritual signatures and souls require player permission and communication as stated in her application. These are not 110% hit and effect rate so players have the option of an easy out. A specific permission page/form re: these abilities will be setup for and linked and players will be contacted as necessary re: their use and prompts where they're active will be noted. They have no effect on major/mod NPCs unless permission is given.
Spiders and arachnids native to the setting either speak with an accent Nao cannot easily make out and vice versa, so they wind up having to play charades if they want to understand each other if either party can be bothered. She’ll need regular or simple spider/arachnid youkai from her world regained as companions if she wants to utilize them for whatever purposes like info gathering, fetching, etc.
Should Nao achieve the Onigumo form, she’ll be a spiderling with a lot to learn re: her new body and abilities and that’s how I’ll be handling it. I’d be happy to provide the mods with further details regarding the form (it’s 8’7” for starters) and its abilities as they feel is appropriate as I tried to throw things together in short form for the app and this is where we are now.
Partial shapeshifting requires calories; maintenance, not so much. Complete transformation reversion cool down period is 16 hours minimum; it has a caloric restoration and rest requirement because shapeshifting takes a lot of energy. Everything is increasable with training and practice. To start, she can maintain complete transformation at low activity for 5-6 hours. In the event of high activity, roughly 3-5 hours depending on her caloric intake, all-around health, etc. The fastest and most effective way to satisfy the caloric and rest requirements is consumption of [train crash sounds], resulting in a faster recovery.
The Hunger will stick with her throughout her life, but it turns out it and the relevant appetite can be managed similarly to a fairly normal hunger/appetite if she’s eating the essential part of her diet (humans) instead of starving herself and eating as necessary when using relevant abilities. When 'satisfied,' the hunger dips to an "eh, I could eat," state despite fullness.
Notable personal personas re: her illusory abilities can be found HERE.
Amenable to any additional nerfs, etc. y'all throw at me. Gomen for the tl;dr.

Clarification!
no subject
Nao'd like to grow and introduce Kyoho grapes to her fellow Dreamers and the native population! She'd like to market the grapes as a special Dreamer/specific-to-her-farm product and possibly introduce Kyoho grape products to the market as she acquires the ability to make things like juice, jams, jellies, wines if possible, etc.
ETA: I do plan on her getting a business license before she starts selling farm things! In the meantime, sharing w/friends and/or free samplers maybe to test interest.
Approved!
