WANDERERS

Wanderers are Dy'kletiun who have appeared in the lands of Aets, and are mysterious and strange in comparison to other Dy'kletiun. They are different and regarded as special, fallen beings who must be bonded to in order to harness their respect and power. 

Wanderers are often graced with traits that may be hard to find, or new genes or mutations that have not been seen in the current population. Members with and without Dy'kletiun can work to gain the trust of these Dy, and form a pact with them. Wanders have a special badge, noting that they are specially made as Wanderers and may have incorrect markings. They are also often given some kind of free item. 

Players who win a Wanderer are given a Construct dye and an Oculus Focus to be used to change the color of the vents and the color of the eyes if they so choose too. Familiars and items awarded to Wanderers cannot be removed.


Names, personalities, Sex, age, health and stats should be filled out or changed by the owner.  We will mark the owner at the end of the event!


Gaining the Trust of a Wanderer


Each Wanderer has a series of prompts that go along with them. In order to win the trust and bond to the wanderer, you must complete and score the highest points against others trying to bond to the same wanderer.  Your score is cumulative based on the prompts you have done. So if you got 10 on the first prompt, and 10 on the second, you get 20 overall. 

You may only bond to one wanderer.  
You can do the prompts for all three, however you can only win one of the wanderers, which will be the one you got the highest score on. 
You can only complete the prompt set once for each Wanderer. That means you get a maximum of 3 entries per Wanderer.

Artwork done by others for a wanderer you may have won, may only be used in their tracker if you ask first! Please be respectful to the artists, and if it doesn't say that you can use it, you ask and find out! 

Scoring
Scores are based entirely on Random Number Generation. The lowest score you can get is 10, while the highest without any modifiers is 20.  Each prompt gets scored and the total is added together to tell you your overall score, which tells you where you stand in the bonding. If someone has a higher score than you at the end of the event, then they have won the wanderer. 

If there is a tie, random number generation will be used to break the tie.

Empire Modifier
Each wanderer lands in a different empire, and if you use a Dy that belongs to that empire, you get a +5 to your overall RNG number. So instead of the maximal score being 20, it is now 25.

Wind Chime Modifier

Depending on the empire will determine what wind chime you can use. You can only use one wind chime per entry. 
If you use a wind chime that corresponds to the wanderer's landing Empire, you get a +10 boost to your RNG number. 
If you use a wind chime that does not correspond to the wanderer's landing Empire, you get a +5 boost to your RNG number. 



Leasing your Dy'Kletiun


Leasing your Dy'Kletiun is allowed in this event! Leasing is where you allow other players to use your Dy'Kletiun in an activity, and they reap all the reward, while you get the EA out of it! It is up to you to manage your leasing agreements.

As far as I can tell, this hasn't been answered before, so apologies if it has and I simply couldn't find it!
But my question is, do you have to complete the prompts in the right order? I've submitted an entry for Destructive Storm's first prompt and I am now working on my entry for prompt #3 because I couldn't find any inspiration for the second one; would I have to make an entry for prompt #2 before submitting my entry for prompt #3?
