All characters starting out in Ataraxion will have access to a selection of new abilities, granted by ongoing connection to the remains of the force previously inhabiting the Tranquility. All characters start out at level one in all abilities, and can level up as per the grid below through providing extra activity. While these abilities are inherently related to one another, for levelling purposes they are divided to allow players freedom to customise their character's extent of specialization or general skill. This means you are free to max out one ability without levelling up another at all!
This page is for level up requests ONLY. Please direct any questions regarding the abilities grid to the FAQ.

small, unmoving and low-detail manifestations generated within a 10 meter radius with no control for 10 minutes or less.LEVEL TWO
medium-sized, unmoving and low-detail manifestations generated within a 10 meter radius for up to 30 minutes. a 3 hour buffer before any more manifestations can be generated.LEVEL THREE
low-detail but moving manifestations generated within a 10 meter radius for up to 60 minutes. a 3 hour buffer before any more manifestations can be generated.LEVEL FOUR
vivid, detailed, large manifestations within a 5 meter radius for up to 30 minutes. a 2 hour buffer before any more manifestations can be generated.
LEVEL FIVE
ability to generate complex manifestations for 60-90 minutes within a 20 meter radius. a 1 hour buffer before any more manifestations can be generated.LEVEL SIX
the ability to change a single manifestation generated by another individual. All manifestations are subject to the limitations of the generating character's knowledge of what they're manifesting, meaning that a manifestation can outwardly seem accurate to a real version, but be internally inaccurate or non-functional in interacting with real objects. Examples would be a book where the character has only read to chapter 9, meaning all pages beyond that are blank; a donut manifested by a character who has never eaten one tasting like aniseed; a dose of morphine which causes severe damage to a character treated with it as the manifesting character did not know the chemical make up of morphine.
If any manifested food is consumed, this may result in the character who ate it feeling a sudden energy drop once the manifestation reaches its time limit and disappears.
Damage caused by manifestations will remain beyond the point of the manifestation disappearing.

Players can level their characters up in abilities by providing extra activity for that character. This means, to level up, you will need to provide:One post in ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png) ataraxion or ataraxionlogs
OR
One thread containing at least 10 comments from your character in ataraxion.
OR
One thread containing at least 5 comments from your character in ataraxionlogs.
AND
One thread containing at least 10 comments from your character in ataraxion.
OR
One thread containing at least 5 comments from your character in ataraxionlogs. Characters can only level up one tile at a time, and only once a month. Players currently working on clearing an AC strike will not be able to request a level up until the strike is cleared. Players can save a level up for a later time, but must submit the activity here at the time and may still only level up once a month - no saving up several and having them happen all at once!
Please comment with an empty top-level below with your character's name in the subject. Then fill out the form below, replying to your top-level to submit a level up request! Level up requests are not processed until activity check has closed, at which point you will receive a confirmation response. The deadline for level up requests being processed is the arrival log of the respective month. This means once the arrival log has been posted, no more level up requests will be processed until the next month.
