Shard Spending

[labyrinmods]

• 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.

Please only use shards that have already been banked and verified on the Banking page. Please do not submit threads for shards in your rewards request.


Rewards
Shards can be exchanged for the following wishes, for the right price.
(Click to expand!)

REGAINS (Powers)

150: A single special ability That the character canonically has or will have. Abilities must be under a single related umbrella; see header below for more information about powers. Items necessary to use the power may be regained as part of this reward.

400: All canon powers This is a discount for characters with multiple powers where it would be too cumbersome to request them one at a time. As before, any items necessary to use the powers may be regained as part of this rewards. Should the number of powers or level of powers exceed a certain amount we reserve the right to adjust this cost accordingly and will discuss it with you upon redemption attempt. Weapons and other tools that are independent of these powers, however, must be regained separately.

REGAINS (Items)

25: A small non-magical item or weapon from your world e.g. a piece of jewelry, a photograph, or a small knife

50: A basic item Small technology such as smartphones or laptops, lightweight transportation, or larger mundane real-world items

50: A standard mundane weapon or armor from your world Anything up to modern tech and firearms

100: A small magical or sci-fi tech item Nothing powerful enough to be used in combat

150: A powerful magical or sci-fi item Such as a weapon, a protective item, or any other significant ability

400: All canon weapons or items at once This is a discount for characters with multiple weapons and specialized equipment where it would be too cumbersome to request them one at a time. This is considered a one timediscount, and once powers are begin to be requested piecemeal, the discount will no longer be offered.

REGAINS (Companions)

50: A small domestic pet such as a dog, cat, or domestic bird from a character's own home - local small domestic animals are free to adopt narratively and are not a reward item.

150: A large exotic animal Up to the size of an elephant from a character's own home - local large exotic animals are not able to be requested as rewards at this time.

250: A magical creature up to size of an elephant from a character's own home - local magical creatures from the game setting are not able to be requested as rewards at this time.

WISHES (Personal Housing)

100: A second potion This can either grant a second potion color, or access to another element for those who have already taken a red potion. Limit one per character.

WISHES (Setting)

200: A business license Please submit a description of your business to the locations page after approval

200: A generic or simple non-canon ability or special item These can be commonplace powers such as super-strength or flight, or the simple canon abilities of other characters, subject to mod approval.

400: Up to four non-canon powers OR special weapons at once This option is exclusively for characters with no special abilities or magical/technological equipment in canon. It may only be purchased once.

1200: A special request. Characters can request for a town-wide event (such as a change in the weather, more flowers, something terrible happening), an unusual or powerful non-canon power (Anything too unique for the 200 point regain), a permanent change to their body, or something specific to happen to them. Mods will decide if the request can be granted. Shards will not be used if the request cannot be granted.

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.

Requested Reward: Business license | A Gym
Reward Cost: 200
Extra Details: I would like to open a gym. Hereis a page I made for it! Please let me know if this is okay or if I need to make adjustments!

New Year, New You, New Health--

Total:
288 previously banked - 200 reward cost = 88 shards remaining

Approved! (with caveats)

[labyrinhelp]

Hakuno now has a facility for Dreamers to pick things up and put them down, in style! A few notes:

• Business shard transactions are 100% handwaved, for fun and narrative usage; we prefer these not be tracked. They do not count towards anyone's shards for rewards.
• BB Gains are fine as a concept, but any effects on the characters are optional & require player permission.
• 8,000–10,000 square feet is pretty big, and beyond the scope of the setting. Somnius is a small town, so the Gym should be scaled down appropriately; think 2,500sqft.

Thank you!

It's time to GYM!

Reward Submission 002

[relicofdata]

Player Name: Star
Character Name and username: Hakuno Kishinami, relicofdata

Requested Reward: Regalia, Magical Item
Reward Cost: 200
Extra Details: (if necessary)
Asked & Approved of by Mod Team!

What would I like the Regalia to do in this setting is:

click here~

- Access its database. Of course, it’s only limited to the knowledge of its own universe of Fate/EXTRA and the year 2030. We have Servants in the game based on historical figures and myths, so it would be nice for Hakuno to look up the figures and learn more about them and their history.
- Being able to pull up Hakuno’s status. Like in JRPG games of viewing a status window. It doesn’t have much use other than to show how Hakuno is doing, how much money she has, the time, etc etc. It’s like an Apple Watch but on the ring. She does have a gym, so she can probably use it to keep track of her heart rate and blood pressure.
- Map & GPS of the world, currently. It shows a list of businesses and stores.
- Not!Siri, because sometimes you need to have a sass off with somebody. ( Please give me a funny name for Not!Siri, otherwise I'm just going to call it Not!Siri. Wheezes )

Total:
286 previously banked - 200 reward cost = 86 shards remaining

Approved!

[labyrinhelp]

Hakuno now has a totally-not-an-iRing! Not!Siri, play “top funny names for knockoff siris.” (read: the mod approving this is bad at names, go nuts)
