INCENTIVE WORKSHOP

Because the promise of adventure and pocket money may not be enough to impress volunteers, Hathaway offers to use its connections to fulfill incentives. They can be anything from a big payout to the cure for a disease, and everything in between. ICly, guild masters will hire contractors to work toward achieving your character's incentive, using a small portion of their stipend to fund the work. OOCly, the incentive is ready whenever you would like to have your character retire through a permanent drop. There are some limits to what kind of incentive is possible: ▸ No reviving the dead. This is generally possible through the miracle of science or magic, but it isn't pretty and reputable contractors will refuse to do so on moral grounds. ▸ No time travel. Hathaway's scientists and magicians are not capable of this. ▸ No instant murder. Asking for someone to drop dead is impossible. However, one could ask to hire an assassin -- this does not mean there is a guarantee the assassin will be successful. ▸ No making someone fall in love/changing someone's attitude, thoughts, or feelings. This is akin to hypnosis and is a hotly debated topic. In order to avoid the implications of interfering with autonomy, this service is not offered. ▸ Nothing intangible. The incentive has to be something that is achievable through the laws of physics. In other words, you cannot ask "make me king," but you can ask for help overthrowing a king so you can take their place. ▸ Nothing your character doesn't know to ask for. Your character must already have the knowledge to ask for it. It must be knowledge they already have in-canon or, if you are updating their incentive after time in game, knowledge they have naturally acquired. Outside knowledge and informants cannot be involved; this is a solo deal. If you need assistance coming up with a suitable incentive for your character, here's the place to do it! You will need to let us know what your character's end goals are; we will not be looking up any extra information about your character besides what is given, simply giving ideas for how to achieving those goals within the parameters of this system. If you simply aren't sure if your incentive is acceptable and want to get it approved before you submit your application, that's fine too!

Hey there! Hathaway would indeed be able to gather and sort the dust. They would assume Bortz knows the correct state of the fragments and take that at face value, but if and when you decide to permanently drop them and allow them to go home and receive their incentive, Hathaway agents would reach out to them to let them know it has been discovered that the fragments are actually dust, but will be collected and sorted nonetheless.

Awesome, thanks for the quick response!
