ACTIVITY REWARDS
AC REWARDS
Since Kenos is a plot-heavy game based on engaging with other characters and the setting, we want to reward people that go above and beyond! Kenos does this through a Token system, which is a set of OOC rewards that translate to IC rewards. Using Tokens, you can make augment your character’s powers (or make completely new ones), get plot clues, or buy an exotic pet, to name a few things!
Tokens can be used to purchase items from the list below. If you have an idea for something you might like to use tokens on that isn’t listed or aren't sure how many tokens your idea would cost, feel free to ask! Mods may adjust the Token cost for some requests, since below are guidelines, and specific requests may fall into a different Token cost depending on the capabilities of the request.
Note, the Power Cap applies to all purchased items and powers, so they may require adjustment to fit underneath these limitations!
Finally, this system also includes a Powerlevel Discount. As a part of your application acceptance, you were assigned a Level based on the powers you described in your application. This Level entitles you to a discount of the prices above, which is as follows:
This discount is to help address power creep and try and make the stakes of the game more even. This way characters who come into the game well-equipped from their canon don’t dominate others, which results in better tension and stakes! With that in mind, mods may reduce or take away a character’s discount as they become more evenly matched with higher Levels, which you will be informed of.
In addition, this page is also used to share and submit your Notable Actions! Notable Actions sounds fancy, but it’s essentially a summary of what your character did during the month! This helps the Loremaster team by giving a good view of what characters are up to and interested in so that we can help the world be responsive to character actions. This summary can be a bulleted list or prose, and we would love it if it also included links, but it doesn’t have to. For an example of what we’re looking for, see this comment which shows the general format and what you can expect from rewards and/or this comment, which is a character played by one of the Loremasters!
Notable actions should include things that have been threaded out this month, but can also include hand-waved interactions about interacting with the world of Kenos at large, and we in fact recommend this! Is your character a regular at a bar? Did they start modeling for a clothing shop they like? Or maybe they're often seen at one of the city's libraries this month because they're deeply researching a new topic. Let us know, since this helps us get a sense of what your character's interests in the world are and can help us create more customized hooks for your character in turn!
IC, characters are asked to at least check in with their faction’s second-in-command once a month, since they’re similarly interested in what characters are getting up to. This check-in is at the character’s leisure and meant to be casual IC as well! Depending on what characters tell their respective NPC, they may get special information or missions that are relevant to what they’ve been doing IC, or the NPC may be the one to ICly grant them the boon that’s bought OOC with Tokens. For more on your faction’s NPC, you can read up on both Cetina (Meridian) or Kathova (Zenith).
If your character does not have a faction affiliation, they’re not missing out, don’t worry! They may still receive information and/or missions, but they’re more likely to come from a generic, unnamed NPC instead. In terms of boons, you’re free to figure out how it’s received or hash it out with the mods.
(We also recommend keeping your Character Survey up to date, since you never know when a mod might think to reference it, hint hint!)
Notable Actions
A summary of what your character was up to this month! This can be prose, a bulleted list, however you want to do it. It's truly just to let mods know what your character got up to this month.

Hayame
October 2022
↣ After waking up in a pod of goo, she rudely pushed past Emet-Selch's attempt to help so that she could,
↣ demand that Yima just kill her rather than jerk her around to another world, but it didn't go so great and ended up with Hayame just passing out on the woman after getting confused over what maternal feelings are
↣ Between going through the purging of the Pleroma energy hallucinations, she attempted to talk about Yima with Johnny and finally ended up breaking down on Kaeya
↣ She spent the rest of the soft-open period in and out of consciousness recouping from her cracked shard somewhere in Yima's mansion
↣ The minute she was let out for the Tree of Life, she took that as an opportunity to leave, but in the roots of the tree she encountered Sebastian Michaelis, who plucked her left eye out in Horos, and in a fit of PTSD and fight or flight instinct she killed him in a savage fashion
↣ This didn't satisfy the dryad's conditions, for obvious reasons, and so she ended up in Round Two with Set, and together they sacrificed an outer ear each to be freed
↣ Meeting Cyrus once the dryad's hold is released, she learned about the iliachtida and Meridian
↣ Not ready to commit to either sect so easily after Horos, Hayame then wandered Springstar and Highstorm looking for somewhere to rest (hide), finding nothing that really fit with her world's nature and therefore remaining a wanderer
↣ Along the way, she met and interacted briefly with several other shard-bearers, most notably she met a sword she hoped was from her Japan but wasn't, she had a fight with Gen in a restaurant, and she reunited with Liem and apologized for losing his book
↣ Except now she's had a weird dryad dream, a demon and a god of war are in her head, her shard is painfully cold, she's gone half-deaf, and she can't stop craving meat...
Did Your Character Check In? No, she's still factionless
Token Purchase
Purchasing: A Japanese-style longbow with a quiver of arrows
Cost: 1 token (0 tokens, with discount?)
Description: Like it says on the tin, a bow and supply of arrows, albeit one that can withstand the enhanced strength and large size of a centaur archer
Notes: tbh I'm actually not sure if I should use tokens for such a mundane weapon, but Hayame doesn't have any money so I'll put it here ig??? Cheers!
November 2022
↣ As Discord and the forced empathy from the dryad dream continued, Hayame had a very bad time with a demon and a god of war living rent free in her head
↣ For some time, she continued living mostly on Alenroux during the day (occasionally hanging awkwardly around other centaurs) and spending her nights roughing it on the outskirts of Springstar and Highstorm, struggling mostly alone with Discord coldness and her meat cravings
↣ She "attended" the Festival of Remembrance and Celebration of Cherishment largely as a passer-by or bystander, interacting briefly but largely brusquely with a few other shardbearers
↣ Alongside Liem Talbott, she took advantage of the number of people sent by Cyrus and Yima to search for the lost shard on Alenroux in order to fulfill her own curiosity and prove she could live there (hah)
↣ While temporarily separated from Liem, she encountered monsters and killed several, most notably while working with Rosaria and Vander
↣ After reuniting with Liem, they eventually stumbled upon the shard-monster in the northern wood
↣ They managed to slay it and retrieve the shard of Manon after a desperate, chaotic battle that left Liem dead and Hayame seriously wounded
↣ Though she barely managed to drag herself from the forest injured and blind, she collapsed at the border and would have died if not for being healed by Emet-Selch
↣ She "planted" Liem's shard at the Tree of Life and waited for him to revive
↣ Once they had discussed the events on Alenroux and come to a consensus, they approached Cyrus and reported the events on Alenroux before offering him Manon's shard (ostensibly to attempt to purify it)
↣ Still recovering from the physical exhaustion of the major healing spells used on her, she did not join the excursion against the Dryad
↣ Hayame finally harmonized with Meridian
Did Your Character Check In? Yes (sort of?), with Cyrus
December 2022
↣ Hayame forced herself to use Communion... in order to ask Kaeya's veteran experience on eyepatches and return a broken spear shaft to Rosaria (this also doubled as an info exchange about the Church of Helios)
↣ She made acquaintances with a talking crow that definitely isn't her most hated enemy in disguise
↣ At the Harmonization ceremony for Meridians, Hayame reluctantly chatted with a few people, ate with Gray, bullied Dextera, and whooped Vender's ass in a drinking game
↣ The relaxing hot springs trip she hoped for was ruined by a shouting match of misunderstandings and attempted? apologies? with former? enemy Gen
↣ When Cyrus handed her The Book of Numbers, a sacred text she had held hostage in Horos attempting to ensure Liem Talbott's defection to Pleroma, she left the strange universe-plucked gift giveaway to return it to its owner... awkwardly
↣ The pollen in the air made her feel some sort of way... which led to the most stressful touch of a hand over shisk kebabs with new meat buddy Amos... and, yeah, also a very unsure confession of a slavery background to someone who also turned out to have a slavery background????
↣ No one talk to her about pollen ever again... next time she goes into heat she's not leaving her stall
Did Your Character Check In? Yes
Reward Opt-Out: Hope y'all had a restful holiday season... !
Token Purchase
Purchasing: nothing because Hayame is lame but now she's going over the token limit and wasting a precious resource... someone please convince her she doesn't have to live in a stable, or something...
Notes: 🎅🦌❄️⛄🎄🎁🔔
January 2022
Which city did your character spend most of their time in during this AC period?:
Springstar, with some daytime Alenroux
What venues or residences did they spend the majority of their time in while there?:
Shopping district (smithies, mostly), street food vendors, shooting ranges, her stall in the stables that she rents as a "home" (post Scorching Isles she barely left)
Did your character perform any notable actions in front of NPC's in either city this month? If so, what/where?:
In addition to forcing Dextera to dogeza and slapping Sebastian (which I think were mostly seen by shard-bearering citizens and then PCs),
↣ Hayame got into a very loud and nearly violent confrontation with Voryn at the Meridian info session, and was only barely talked down by Akua from beating a man in public oops
↣ She also... beat Heine unconscious at a blacksmith's for insulting her oops
Did your character contribute to either city? (Resources, work, side quests, etc - this includes Kowloon):
↣ Not... really... she is still trying to keep to herself...
↣ Though she did probably do her share at the monthly Meridian-taurs meeting and bring a potluck dish..........
↣ Unless we count, uh, handing Manon's shard to the Tribune and prepping to defend the fuck out of that decision, in which case, yes
What is their current discord level (at the time of their check-in)?: 1'ish
Did Your Character Check In? Yes
Token Purchase
Purchasing: (1) Naginata polearm, (1) Bow
Cost: 2 tokens
Description: You know those like, expandable self-defense batons... ? If these weapons could have some sort of lil' magic self-storing/expanding spell on them so she can be carrying around like a foot long bow grip and spear haft instead of trying to get through doors with 6 foot+ long weapons that would be cool...
February 2023
Which city did your character spend most of their time in during this AC period?:
Springstar, with some daytime Alenroux
What venues or residences did they spend the majority of their time in while there?:
Meridian military headquarters and training ground, her stall in the stables that she rents as a "home", street food vendors, Alenroux forests
Did your character perform any notable actions in front of NPC's in either city this month? If so, what/where?:
↣ Hayame participated in The Great Manon Shard Debate, arguing for Meridian's possession of Manon's shard. If you ask her, she did very well, and didn't even attack anyone.
↣ She also participated in the follow-up debate with the greater faction, but with much less patience and more demanding Cyrus tell her not to engage bc she knew she was Done and going to lose her cool over her honor any second.
Did your character contribute to either city? (Resources, work, side quests, etc - this includes Kowloon):
↣ Hayame showed up basically every single day to train archery troops for General Zaman, mostly at the military training grounds but occasionally taking small groups of 1-3 students with her into Alenroux as hunters. Despite her intense severity, she is actually a fair teacher to students who take things seriously, and only loses her temper over instances of tomfoolery/fucking around. ... She does believe in physical and humiliating punishment, however. Students showing promise or performing well who might just need a scaring straight got taken to Alenroux for "hunting" to prepare them for potential [redacted].
What is their current discord level (at the time of their check-in)?: 1 ~ 1.5
Did Your Character Check In? Yes
Token Purchase
Purchasing: Major Power?
Cost: 5 tokens
Description: I'd like to do a path similar to what Hayame was going down in AT, in which her distrust and frustration with magic sort of manifests as a Field of Magic Resistance type of thing. Imagining a sort of resistance buff against magical abilities targeting her and a sort of "weight" or "drain" that settles on magically/divinely/demonically/etc-powered enemies she engages in battle that allows them to match up more evenly? This way, ICly she's not actually "cheating" (as she sees it) by powering up herself, but OOCly it allows her to match up with powered enemies by temporarily bringing them down more towards her level, sort of?
Notes: If needed, please do direct me on how the Major Power should be best applied so as to fit with the vibe of the powers in the game. Very open to brainstorming. Because I'm having trouble with getting Hayame to a place where she would willingly sit down and learn magical spells, I think a sort of unconsciously manifest/born-from-stubborness power is the way to go.

GIFT REWARD
In her dream, Hayame is sitting, near a waterfall. It’s oddly peaceful, but the sights, scents, and smells remind her of the mountains where she’d lived with Matsukaze and the rest of the Jinba children, before she arrived in another world. There’s nobody around, and Hayame will get the odd sense that her hair is down, and not only that…
Gentle, large hands brush through her hair, and for a moment, because it’s a dream, and dream logic is often a little odd, it’s hard for her to know who is doing it. It isn’t her, after all, her hands are folded in front of her, and her head is down, and it’s only after a moment that she’ll hear Matsukaze’s voice, asking her if this is still okay? He still continues to brush through her hair, and after a moment, he’ll pull her hair back up, into the same high ponytail that she usually wears. Though after a moment, he will slide a small comb into her hair, and comment that she looks nice with it, before he asks her if she wants to head back, though as soon as she tries to get up –
She’ll start awake.
For some reason, Hayame will get the sense that this was more than a dream, but it’s not until she looks through her packs that she will find the comb tucked away into one of her bags, carefully slipped in between a few items where it clearly won’t be harmed.
Let us know if you have further questions.

November 2023
Specific Actions
Which city did your character spend most of their time in during this AC period?: Alenroux and Springstar
What venues or residences did they spend the majority of their time in while there?: Her home in Alenroux, scouring the streets/buildings of Springstar, and crashing at Claude's old Springstar apartment
Did your character perform any notable actions in front of NPC's in either city this month?

Yeah the entire Harbinger Oracle being broadcast, that was probably pretty notable...

What is their current discord level (at the time of their check-in)?: 1
Did Your Character Check In? Yes
Token Purchase
Purchasing: High-value Lore Quest
Cost: 5 Tokens
Description: Hayame is most interested ICly in following up on the previous plot reward quest that she took part in previously, to do with Alenroux/Aetos. Figured maybe tokens would be the way to do that? If that is not possible/if it is not a good time, however, would you allow me to switch this month's token purchase from a Lore Quest to a Magic Item? I could find a way to make the DEE-LICIOUS DEBUTANTE quest work eventually, but I think it would require a bit of set-up in the form of probably a Ring of Making Centaurs Human first because after the Harbinger Oracle it would probably be too difficult for Hayame to infiltrate Highstorm in her natural form and illusions wouldn't change her body shape oops...
Notes: wnglwgkn sorry for the not straightforward request... I have all these tokens but I shouldn't just like keep stacking powers on her...

Specific Actions
Which city did your character spend most of their time in during this AC period?: Alenroux and Springstar

Did your character perform any notable actions in front of NPC's in either city this month? If so, what/where?: Not particularly, she's been quiet post-Oracle so she hasn't done anything dramatique but I guess she was a bit of a celebrity wherever she went bc of The Broadcast- it made her kind of uncomfortable because she's such a private person, but she tried her best to be good PR for Meridian and behave well

What is their current discord level (at the time of their check-in)?: 1
Did Your Character Check In? Yes
Notes: I'd like Hayame's boon from Springstar post-Oracle to be a Title of Nobility, please and thanks! (Also just a memo re: the High Value Quest I bought last month-- because of general holiday season inactivity I put things off to not bother busy peeps, but I will be approaching mods about it once January schedule is more clear, thanks!)

Did your character perform any notable actions in front of NPC's in either city this month? If so, what/where?: Since the attention brought on by the Harbinger Oracle broadcast and being granted the title of Decurion, Hayame has been trying especially hard to be a better role model and example of a loyal Meridian shard-bearer in public rather than retreat to her usual preference for privacy. She has been intentionally less brusque and dismissive of strangers, is doing her best to answer attention and celebration respectfully and attentively, and to follow Claude's advice on how to help bring the citizenry hope.

(Resources, work, side quests, etc - this includes Kowloon): She continues to train the Legionary's archers, and has been actively trying to recruit new Meridians, as well as encourage others to tier up/deepen their loyalties.
