What is a Wanted Position Rank Bonus?

In order to beef up some of the less populous ranks within each herd, every now and then staff will go around, determine which ranks are in need of some special attention, and put them up as eligible for a Wanted Position Rank Bonus!

It is exactly what it sounds like - a bonus for making a character of a specific position/rank that we want to see filled!  You can see all the currently available Wanted Positions below!  Rank bonuses can only be applied to Starter characters; they cannot be applied to In-Game born foals.  

It is a first come, first serve system.  If you fail to follow through with your claim, you will have to get back in line. 

If you are using a token or Salamander Reward purchase to create a Starter Crossbred character, you may apply with your crossbred character providing that they are a cross born into the herd and share the herd's bloodline.  For example, you could claim a Linx Delta Wanted Position with a crossbred providing the cross was part Linx and was born into the Linx pack!

Bonuses can be any combination of two of the Basic level rewards below:

An example combination, for instance, might be two Skill Boosts, a Skill Boost and a Calico gene, or a Remarkable Height and an additional Starter mutation!

• +20 Skill Boost - Slap on an extra 20 points toward the skill of your choice for one character!

• BASIC LEVEL GENETIC MODIFIER:
  
• Free Creation design + 1 Additional Modifying gene  (Must be non-white for Scybilline characters).
• Free Creation design + Countered Gene (Must be non-white for Scybilline characters).
• Free Creation design + Scorch Gene.
• Free Creation design + Carrier of Inverse Scorch.
• Free Creation design + Carrier of Suppressed Countered  (Must be non-white for Scybilline characters).
• Free Creation design + Calico (Not allowed for Scybilline characters).
• Free Creation design + Whale (Not allowed for Scybilline characters).
• Free Creation design + Dusk Carrier.
• Free Creation design + Nova Carrier.
• Bay Scybilline Design (MUST be EE/Aa or EE/AA; Seal + Wild Bay CAN be added).

• ADDITIONAL BASIC LEVEL/COMMON MUTATIONS: When creating a new Starter character, if you’d like to an extra mutation common to their herd this reward will allow you to do so (ie, you may now start with four mutations instead of three).  Must fit herd restrictions (ie, no Feathers on a Scybilline).  Click here to visit the Anomalopedia | Mutations journal.

• REMARKABLE HEIGHT: Desire a character a bit shorter or taller than the herd average?  This reward allows you to add up to a single full hand onto the max/min height for a character!  For example, you may make a Nombekian as short as 6 hands or as tall as 10 hands despite the herd height range of 7-9 hh!

Click here to reserve a Wanted Position - Rank Bonus for your character!

Once a staff member has confirmed your claim, a 'hold' will be placed on your claimed Rank Bonus until your character's reference is formally submitted to the group.  If you fail to post your character's reference and submit it to the group within a month (aka, 30 days), you will lose your hold on the Wanted Position Bonus and possibly miss out!  

To be clear!

• In order to Reserve a Wanted Position Rank Bonus, your character MUST, at minimum, have submitted a Starter Anomalous Design into the Anomalous group's queue (aka, have it pending for acceptance) OR a profile application submitted for the Design Pool!
• Once the reservation has been cleared by a staff member, they will tag you on this journal confirming the reservation!

• In order to Formally Claim/Lock in the Rank Bonus, you must post the character's reference and submit it to the Anomalous group for profile review within 30 days of the date within which you reserved the Rank Bonus.

• You may only claim one Wanted Bonus at a time.  If you currently have a pending bonus, you cannot claim another.  If you decide to drop your claim, you must get back in line to claim another. 

• You may only claim one Wanted Bonus once a month.  From the time your bonus is successfully claimed, you must wait 30 days in order to claim another one.  This is to prevent too many people going after multiple rewards, which would be unfair!
• Existing characters or previously accepted designs/pool submissions cannot be submitted for Wanted Positions.
