Welcome to the third and final part of the July Updates!
The first thing I want to share with you is the update of our Dust system. Helping out Atlas in our last event as well as freeing the capital from its siege allows Haven access to better dust than before -- and the Kingdom of Atlas has decided to give Haven Academy a small supply of the Schnee Company signature dust -- Hard Light.
Hard light dust is the first new addition to our Dust roster and it is also our first Limited type of dust, meaning that it will only be available when a note on a scenario or thread makes it available. This is a limited supply and very expensive dust type, and its power in being the only way to stack a benefit in the entire system at this point reflects that. The school will not just hand out the stuff like candy, which means that it is not available outside of scenarios (not including classes) and events. It also introduces a cap of two instances of hard light dust per thread unless that limit is waived with admin approval. This stuff is supposed to be rare and used for the important stuff, after all.
The newly updated chart can be found here.
Next change will be the introduction of the Civilian member group in earnest, which will come around the beginning of August when an application is made for them. Civilians will basically be our third open member group alongside students and faculty, and will exist as NPCs similar to faculty who are not explicitly statted out at character creation. This change was made largely because now all of Anima is explicitly open for play and frankly I didn't see a reason not to include this member group in there due to the fact that they can interact with other characters pretty easily.
The character creation template for civilians can be found here.
