Points and Strikes
Points Characters earn points for activity. Points can then be spent on memory regains, items from their canon universe, meta powers, or plots. This chart is how points will be assessed. Keep in mind that your character is meant to get back their memories/powers/items over time, not all at once. ✦ Points can be spent at any time during the month.
✦ Remaining points at the end of the month carry over to the next month.
✦ A character's points can only be spent on that character.
✦ Players are ultimately in charge of keeping track of their own points.
✦ To start spending points, players will need to make a top-level comment on this page.
✦ A "comment chain" is any singular comment chain under a post or top-level, and will need at least 5 comments minimum from your character.

Strikes Characters earn strikes for unexcused Activity Check failures or for character squatting. The following rules apply: ✦ A character can only have a total two strikes at a time. Third strike and the character will be taken away.
✦ Unless there are extenuating circumstances, a player cannot receive two strikes in a row (two months back to back).
✦ A player can remove a strike by doing twice the normal AC in any subsequent month after the strike is earned. Once a strike is removed, it will no longer count against the character. But only one strike can be removed per month.
✦ Points cannot be used on a character that has an existing strike.
✦ A player cannot reserve or app an additional character if they have a strike on any of their character
✦ A player should not be abuse the strike system. If a player has any questions about strikes, they can contact the mods HERE.
Players must redeem memories via points before their characters can regain their memories in game (however, the speed at which those memories return to the character in game once those memories are redeemed is up to the player.) These following rules apply:
✦ Characters must have a memory chart listing their memories up on their journals before players can redeem memories for them. This can be a simple list, or a complex HTML chart, whatever works best for the player. We have a simple HTML chart on our RESOURCES PAGE.
✦ A character must have a minimum of 20 memories for their character. If you need help developing memories from headcanon for your character, come talk to the mods.
✦ Players can only redeem 10% of their character's memories per month. (For any kind of canon updating - changing canon point or adding new information from on-going fandoms, you must talk to the mods first.)
✦ Players do not have to redeem a character's memories in order as they are listed on their character's memory chart.

Meta Powers Regain Characters can regain their meta powers from their canon universe. Meta powers regains are broken into two types: Simple Powers and Complex Powers, a player will be informed about their character's powers type when they are accepted into the game. Simple Powers are regained by the power. Complex Powers are regained by 10% intervals of strength of power. The following rules apply: ✦ A character must have a Meta Powers Regain Chart posted on their journal before they can start regaining powers. We have power regain charts over on the RESOURCE PAGE
✦ A character can ask for their first power regain one month after they start regaining memories(via points - the character doesn't have to have all their memories back in game to start getting powers.) And power regains must follow the regain of powers. (Ex: a player can only get back the 2nd simple power or 2nd 10% of complex power if they have already regained their 2nd 10% of memories etc.)
✦ For complex powers, a character can only regain 10% of powers back per month.
✦ For simple powers, players can only redeem one power back per month.

Items From Canon Universes Characters can get items from their canon universes. ✦ Players can get one item per month.
✦ If the mods think your item should be in the next highest category, they will let you know.
✦ Some items will be banned due to their capacity to break the game. Check THIS COMMENT bellow for an updated list.
✦ If more than one character can claim ownership to an item, duplicates will happen. But for specific items, characters must have some ownership connection to the item to get it.
✦ Characters can get almost any kind of general item from their universe.
