Fuku Guidelines

There are five Tiers that will become available as you accumulate points and level up your Senshi.

When creating your senshi, please adhere to the guidelines as laid out below or we will have to request you adjust your design. We realize that there are many groups out there who allow free reign, but we've designed these structures specifically to get you more involved with evolving your character and developing in the group, much like one would in a D&D campaign when you start at level 1. There will be plenty of opportunity to personalize your fukus later!

Shining
Radiant
Brilliant
Legendary
Mythic

The first Tier, Shining is automatically open upon joining. The other tiers must be unlocked with Crystal Points, and at higher levels, Quest Requirements. What are Crystal Points? In short, they are a form of currency you can earn here simply by participating in well, anything! Go here: fav.me/d8ng04z to read more on Crystal Points and ways you can earn, and spend them! With each new tier you reach, you unlock more abilities for your senshi as well as Fuku Upgrades.

Fuku Guidelines broken down by Tier




First Tier, automatically open upon joining the group and claiming your crystal and animal.

POWERS
Max 2

Any combination of Innate, Offensive or Defensive powers. You may even choose 2 from the same category if you wish, but you can only have 2 powers total, to start.

No weapons, sorry! Those are unlocked in Brilliant Tier!

Things to keep in mind:
Any type of extra embellishment outside of the above guideline (like shaped bow tails, split skirts) are currently NOT allowed in the Shining Tier. Extra Embellishments can be PURCHASED, but only after your first upgrade. For more information please look here:
