Unlocking Character Passives

What are Passives
Passives are Passive traits that your character has. These can range from having to collect a certain amount of a resource in order to get benefits to simple stat boosts. These are boosts that do not require activation in order to use. Passives aren't powerful, but it can alter how your character interacts with the world as opposed to someone with a similar build with completely different passives.

Types of Passives
There are 2 types of passives you can obtain:

Pre-Made Passives: These are passives that are pre-made -- which you can find later on down. Each of these Passives cost 250 XPC.
Custom Passives: These are all custom and created by yourself. Each of these Passives cost 500 XPC

Maximum Number of Passives
The user is allowed to have a maximum of 3 Passives total.

Creating Custom Passives
Use the following format for creating a Custom Passive.

Code:: [b]Passive Name[/b]: [b]Passive Effect[/b]:

Staff WILL scrutinize your Custom Passive. If it is deemed too powerful, it will be denied and stated what to do to make it passable. However, if it is considerably weak to the staff, they may recommend how to make it stronger. Just keep in mind that Passives aren't meant to be powerful, but as a means of altering how your character interacts.

This will be requested in the user's Character Updates. If approved, it will be added to their Character Sheet.

Changing Passives
You are capable of changing passives at any time in your Character Update. If you are replacing a Passive that you've already gained, you will not get a refund of XPC. You must spend XPC to purchase the new Passive and must state which passive you are over-writing.

This is a list of already created Passives that one can take for themselves. Each of these will cost the user 250 XPC to obtain. If there are any passives you'd like to see on the list, create/suggest them. If Staff likes them, they'll add it to the list and give you 5 EXP each.
