Canon Imprints & Regains
Canon Imprints & Regains
Influence Costs ▲ Canon Imprints ▼ RegainsAs imprints are formed by a character's understanding and knowledge, they are not formed by conscious choice on their part. This enables players to implement elements of their character's world that, if given the choice, the character would not choose themselves.
For detailed information on what imprints are, the different categories of imprints, regains, and so on, please see the section for Influence & Imprints on the FAQ.
Canon Imprints and Regains must be purchased by individual players using this page and the influence system. Organic Imprints are decided on solely by the mod team, but players may suggest threads for consideration through the separate Organic Imprints page.
For information on imprints that are already in effect within the setting, please see the Locations, Bestiary and State Of The World pages.
Influence Costs
To request a regain or canon imprint for the setting, your character must pay the associated cost in influence. Influence is measured and tracked through Activity Checks. For more information on gaining influence, please see the Activity Check page.
Influence cannot be shared or transferred between characters, and influence costs must be paid for in full by the character submitting the imprint.
To keep things relatively simple, all regains will be categorized as either small (can be picked up and carried comfortably by the average person), medium (too big to carry comfortably, but no bigger than a car) or large (anything car-sized or bigger). We may choose to reject a regain request if we feel the regain is large enough that it would be better suited as a canon imprint, such as scenery.
| Imprint Type | Influence |
|---|---|
| Regain (small) | -10 |
| Regain (medium) | -15 |
| Regain (large) | -20 |
| Scenery, Species or Object | -25 |
| Concept | -40 |
Canon Imprints
You may only request up to one canon imprint per month. This includes the imprint submitted with your application. You cannot retroactively request an imprint for a previous month, even if you had enough influence at the time to afford it. If we need to reject an imprint request for any reason, you may still submit a different imprint for that month.
Canon imprints should be directly inspired by your character's canon world, as the name implies. While this form may also be used to request more general imprints to expand the setting with, we recommend exploring these ideas as potential Organic Imprints first. We may also choose to decline more generic imprint submissions if we already have plans for that particular concept.
To submit a canon imprint for approval, please comment on this page using the form in the textarea below.
Player: Your name.
Character: Your character's name.
Canon: Your character's canon.
Imprint Type: Scenery, Species, Object, or Concept.
Influence: Provide a link to your thread on the Activity Check page to show you have enough influence to pay for this imprint.
Summary: Describe your imprint in one simple sentence that doesn't rely on canon terms, ex. "a large library filled with many books", "carbuncles, a species of small fox-like animals with gems on their foreheads", or "dead people go to an afterlife". Please try to avoid one-word answers, even if your imprint is something that exists in the real world.
Full Details: This description must be 500 words or less. Please explain the nature of your imprint in detail, assuming the reader is unfamiliar with your canon. Not all details of an imprint may be used, but we recommend focusing on the details you would most like to be included. This section should be in your own words.
For scenery, species and objects, this section should strictly be about how the imprint is supposed to work, so do not include details on how it would go "wrong" or interact with other imprints and keep headcanon to a minimum.
For concepts specifically, it is more important to get across what you intend to accomplish with the concept than the exact details of how it works. For example, if you wanted to create a version of the Internet within the setting it would be better to focus on the idea of long-distance communication than explain how wireless signals between electronic devices work.
Additional Links: (Optional) If you have any additional wiki pages or images to help explain your imprint, you may leave them here. For non-concepts, we would prefer at least one image for reference whenever possible.
Other: (Optional) You may offer suggestions how this imprint may be implemented or blended with other imprints here, or any other comments you feel are important. Please try to keep this section brief.

Regain Size: Small, Medium or Large.
Influence: Provide a link to your thread on the Activity Check page to show you have enough influence to pay for this imprint.

Other: (Optional) You may put any additional information or questions regarding your regain here.

Character: Legion
Canon: Mass Effect + Lifeaftr CRAU
Imprint Type: Concept
Influence: Link
Summary: Overgrowth: a disease in which the afflicted grows flowers inside the body and organs as a result of repressed/unacknowledged emotions, which is usually fatal if left untreated.
Full Details: Basically, it’s like if the hanahaki trope included all emotions and not just unconfessed or unrequited love. Characters develop a fever and begin to grow flowers inside their body and internal organs, which eventually begin to erupt through the skin and bloom. This is, understandably, both painful and incredibly damaging. It can only be cured by the confession of one’s feelings.
In Lifeaftr there were two strains that featured in two separate events: one that progressed through three stages and the last was always fatal, and another which could clear up on its own without progressing to the final stage, but could also turn the afflicted character into a zombie instead.
