Points

[Finch]

    Points are the currency of Remnants. They are an intangible object, representing a character’s survival experience, personal growth, and, in many cases, simply luck. Points can be used in the Point Shop to acquire various perks for characters, among other things. Every character has their own "bank" of points, which can only be used by said character. The amount of points held by a character is shown on their profile.

    Gaining points is done through roleplaying! Threads can be redeemed for points upon completion by posting in the Thread Redemption thread.

    Participating in a thread merits 10 points. Each five posts in a thread will merit an additional 5 points. There is no limit to how many points can be earned from a single thread.

    Beyond this, certain thread types will merit additional points. The following table details these events and the point values that they are worth. These values all “stack” to already existing values, so that starting a scavenging thread would be worth 15 points, as this adds the default value to the added value.

Event	Points
Roleplay a thread in which characters scavenge for resources or explore Seattle.	5
Roleplay a thread in which a character carries out their duty within their faction (caring for younger kids, cooking, researching, etc.)	5
Roleplay a stranger encounter.	5
Participate in a Force of Nature event.	10
Participate in a skirmish between factions.	10

    In addition to actions taken during roleplay, adding certain traits to a character during character creation can earn points for that character. The following table details these traits and the point values that they are worth.

Trait	Points
Creating a character who is under 13 years of age.	5
Creating a character who is under 10 years of age.	5
Creating a character with a disability.	10

    Points added during character creation are cumulative. For example, if you create a 9 year old character, they will receive 10 total points - 5 from being under 13 and 5 from being under 10.
