FINITEThank you for the suggestions!
CHARACTERI haven't decided whether to allow multiple characters per user or not yet. I think it will depend on the activity of the player. NPCs will be played by Mods. Children (under the age of 18) can be played, but cannot be an official player (ie. cannot have pokemon, make summons, etc.)
Player characters must choose their initial nation and race. Each race will have a specific perk. There will be history and lore for each race and nation. You cannot change your race, but you can switch allegiances (or not have one at all). There are benefits to being a part of a specific nation.
RACESAll races have a human form. I have no idea which races to add.
THREADSYou instantly get points per post, but completed threads will be checked by mods and given rewards based on the content. Pokemon who participate in the thread will gain EXP. Sometimes you will receive items as well. At the end of a thread, a mod will post all the rewards that will be given to the participating players. You can only take up to 4 Pokemon with you per thread.
THREAD POINTS/CURRENCYI don't know what the currency is going to be called yet, but it will be a mixture of both Points-Per-Post and Mod Checks. You will instantly get x amount of points per post and a finished thread will earn each person a certain amount of points based on certain criteria (such as total word count, amount of people, etc.).
SHRINESThis has the most development in the works. There are going to be various shrines and essentially they will all have a cost and limit to how much you can use them. There will be a weekly limit of summons and using summons will exponentially increase in cost. At a certain time every week it will reset.
SHRINE OF SUMMONSThe Pokemon Shrine. This is where you can get a Pokemon. All new characters will get a random basic Pokemon for free (once their application is finished and approved). Following that, there is a weekly limit of X (probably around 3) amount of Pokemon. The first summon will cost X. The second summon will cost X*3 and the third summon will cost X*5 (or something along those lines). In addition to that, you can choose to spend an extra X amount of points to choose what type the Pokemon will be (Bug, Fairy, Fire, etc.).
SHRINE OF WONDERThe wonder trading shrine. You can sacrifice one of your Pokemon with a fee to get a different Pokemon instead. This will also have a weekly limit and will increase in price each time you do it.
SHRINE OF POWERThere are two ways to increase your Pokemon's levels: training or the shrine of power. The shrine of power will instantly level your Pokemon reliant upon how much you spend. The more you spend, the more EXP you will receive. The max level is 100. There is no weekly limit but the higher the level, the more it will cost.
SHRINE OF ABILITYThis is for the character. For a hefty sum, you can pay to receive a gift from Arceus. This includes being able to understand Pokemon, controlling an element, etc. You will only be able to have one ability at a time, but you can always pay the sum again to change the ability.
SHRINE OF OBJECTOnce per week, you can pay a small sum and you will get some useful items. This can be stones, healing items, equipment, etc. Other ways to obtain these items is from completed threads.
LANDEach player starts with a small plot of land with a simple house attached. The amount of land determines how many Pokemon you can have at any time. You can purchase more land, but it becomes more and more expensive each time you do it. For decoration and flaunting wealth, you can also choose to upgrade your home.
