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!)

Yuri Leclerc
june 2023
• Yuri arrived late in the month, clawed his way out of the dirt, and helped Konoe do the same.
• He investigated Highstorm and Springstar, attending their welcome events for new Shardbearers, and got to know others brought here, seeking their opinions.
• Crossed paths with Byleth as well as Claude and Dimitri, learning the latter two come from some alternate version of Fódlan. He's yet unsure what he thinks about this.
• Formed a plan to join Zenith, but is unable to follow through, back to the drawing board — and not rushing to join Meridian just yet. Byleth offered him a place to stay.
• Took an interest in Alenroux's current plight.
• Mostly, Yuri's getting his bearings and sizing up what he can do about the situation as he understands it.
Specific Actions
Which city did your character spend most of their time in during this AC period?: A pretty even split between Highstorm and Springstar for his first few days in Kenos.
What venues or residences did they spend the majority of their time in while there?: Mostly checking these two major cities out and doing quite a bit of wandering.
Did your character perform any notable actions in front of NPC's in either city this month? If so, what/where?: Nothing significant, but he did look into Alenroux as it caught his interest and presumably asked NPCs about it.
Did your character contribute to either city? (Resources, work, side quests, etc - this includes Kowloon): Monster hunting in Alenroux is forward-dated to next month and in progress as playing it out goes, so not yet! But he made his interest in helping with this problem evident, no doubt.
What is their current discord level (at the time of their check-in)?: 0
Did Your Character Check In? Nope, he's not yet harmonized with either faction.
Notes: Yuri's brand new, as am I, hopefully everything looks ship shape here.
July 2023
• Took up the monster-hunting sidequest with Midna and Dimitri in Alenroux.
• Visited Starlight Park for Byleth's show of the Fódlan night sky and discussed their goals among other things.
• After Dark's Communion message, searched for Rin.
• Met Bondrewd aka Bonnie via communion and learned more about the present state of affairs from him.
• Provided Hayame with advice on celebrating birthdays.
• On invitation, helped to harvest crops in Alenroux with Gavial and Amos.
• Checked in on Rin on her Communion post.
• Tagged along for the Xanadu trip and spent time with fellow Shardbearers.
Specific Actions
Which city did your character spend most of their time in during this AC period?: Springstar.
What venues or residences did they spend the majority of their time in while there?: He lives with Byleth, so that's where he is when he's not roving around. Additionally he's paid multiple visits to Alenroux.
Did your character perform any notable actions in front of NPC's in either city this month? If so, what/where?: Reported the results of the monster hunt and turned in collected crops in Alenroux which probably means NPCs of some kind.
Did your character contribute to either city? (Resources, work, side quests, etc - this includes Kowloon): Mostly Alenroux...
What is their current discord level (at the time of their check-in)?: 0
Did Your Character Check In? Nope, not harmonized yet.
August 2023
• Prior to the Oracle event, Yuri initiated a communion with fellow Shardbearers, playing "two lies and a truth".
• Having learned something about discord during the previous month from Rin, he found that Byleth was similarly afflicted by it.
• Participated in the Oracle's test on Meridian's behalf.
Specific Actions
• The purpose of Yuri's communion game was getting a read for those brought to Kenos, but he also had a lengthy discussion with Cid regarding their circumstances.
• Between various conversations, Yuri has come to think perhaps it's better that the power of the Oracles is distributed equally between the factions.
• Learning more about discord made Yuri very aware that if he remained unharmonized, the best he could do for others was make them more comfortable.
• Though uncertain as to whether his aid would be accepted based on Byleth's cryptic description of alleviating discord, Yuri decided to harmonize with Meridian.
• He didn't make a point of mentioning this development to anyone before the Oracle.
• Yuri prioritized scouting, securing the main camp and his own, and helping any injured.
• He caught Gavial in one of his traps and freed her before anyone from Meridian spotted her.
• He helped Byleth retrieve his memento from Shez and assisted Dark in locating Yoko's shard.
• Midna and Yuri were approached by Bondrewd and Rosaria and were led into Zenith's camp, where they stealthily took possession of the bell for Meridian.
• After spotting a heavily injured Hayame, Yuri escorted her to shelter and tended to her wounds after covering her tracks.
Which city did your character spend most of their time in during this AC period?: Springstar.
What venues or residences did they spend the majority of their time in while there?: The library and Byleth's house.
Did your character perform any notable actions in front of NPC's in either city this month? If so, what/where?: He has most assuredly donated a portion of his earnings to any local orphanages or the church, but nothing else he did was likely to garner interest... Unless poking around the library counts.
Did your character contribute to either city? (Resources, work, side quests, etc - this includes Kowloon): Odd jobs around town until he harmonized.
What is their current discord level (at the time of their check-in)?: 0
Did Your Character Check In? Yes, assuming he knows who to speak to.
GIFT REWARD
With all of that being said, of course, she leaves for a moment to a very large closet. If Yuri peeks in, he’ll see all sorts of curiosities from every type of world beyond the door, and varying levels of technology present. When she comes out, it’s with a very large box, and she presents it to him. She says that she heard he enjoys cooking, so hopefully this will be well-received!
Enjoy your cooking supplies, Yuri! It’s pretty much a nice set of pots and pans/utensils. Think about the kinds of sets that a pair of newlyweds might receive! Let us know if you have further questions.

Token Purchase
Purchasing: Fetters of Dromi
Cost: 4?
Description: The Relic attuned to Yuri's Crest. Unlike his fellow Relic-enjoyers, Yuri didn't get a weapon. The fetters are an accessory worn on his hand. It has several effects, among which is halving damage taken while worn. The other is making him run marginally faster than he already does. Notably, any other wearer would be damaged continuously until taking it off.

Due to the reliance on rng and character stats, I'm thinking it would make the most sense to simply toss these defensive skill activations out as not working in this setting? Sorry for edits but as I was pulling these up I was reminded that it was handled differently in Hopes.
I don't plan on him using it in fights anyway, but I do want to ensure I recified my oversight.

• Yuri shared the research material he received from Coalbrand with those who he worked with to obtain it, as well as others he trusted with the information.
• He shared Coalbrand's warning as well as his dream and consequent wariness of involving others until they know more.
• The general consensus was that they needed to get a better sense of how best to use and share the information without bringing anyone in the crosshairs of those in power. If they could leverage the research as Coalbrand suggested, ever the better.
• He had a long conversation with Frieren about magic and they agreed to compare theirs.
