Two updates, the first being a character longevity bonus and the second being a final progression update. (Last edited Nov 2020. This thread is no longer current.)
____
Adding a longevity bonus, whereby a player character (PC) that has reached a year since their application was accepted and claims this benefit on their progression thread gets the following perks depending on tier:
Beginner: 500XP for catchup.
Freshman: 400XP for catchup.
Sophomore/Senior: 300XP
Huntsman+: 500XP
_____
Also adding endgame progression update, since we have characters getting very close to this.
Upon reaching B rank in any skill OR reaching Huntsman Tier, you get two benefits, with one being the same for everyone and one having three options. We’ll talk about the three options first.
1) Unlock a sixth combat ability slot that works like any other combat ability slot, providing one benefit and leveled as usual.
2) Unlock a once per thread Ultimate Move that immediately burns 30% of your aura and 30% of your health. This Ultimate move must be related to the character's semblance in some way and is mechanically three benefits leveled according to a unique progression chart only for Ultimate Moves. This represents your character sacrificing their body to limit break their abilities. Removal of drawbacks, such as a manipulator ignoring the aura drain on their semblance up to the skill's rank, is also acceptable in an Ultimate Move pending staff approval for more unique drawbacks.
3) Transformation semblance users get the option to take an ability that allows them to continue their transformation past their limit at the cost of 30% aura and 15% health every post. This ability does not level and can be used immediately at full power. The damage to aura and health is not mitigated by durability or any other ability.
The second benefit that everyone gets upon having a skill that reaches B rank is the ability to select one skill to make their ‘signature’ which allows them to pay only eighty percent (80%) of the XP cost when leveling it up. Any skill, including the 6th slot whether it is a singular skill or semblance burn can be chosen as the signature skill.
