Unlock Fragments
What are Unlock Fragments?
Unlock Fragments are RP events that members can plan and hold together, supposedly without needing much mod intervention! ‘Supposedly’ meaning it depends on the hosts if they need us to participate through our NPC characters for heavier premise, otherwise hosts are free to do what they’d like as long as they abide by the lore, rules of metaing, power play, and autoing. This is to encourage members to work together by creating RPs that will help your characters grow and bond together. These Unlock Fragments can range from mundane daily interactions to more adventurous ones with bigger goals!
It is a requirement for hosts to run through their ideas with the mod team first before receiving approval for their Unlock Fragment idea. Members need to ensure their Unlock Fragment RPs don’t involve some type of event or knowledge that their characters aren’t supposed to know about or experience unless the mods approve of it first. If you do not require a mod to help you with their NPC characters for your Unlock Fragment, the most they will do as part of the admin is overseeing your RP/HCs to ensure you do not breach any of the conditions set for the system.
Apart from that, Unlock Fragment is also made for members who were unable to participate during one or more official Unlock events in the past. It is also difficult for members who are behind in Heart Ranks (as well as Transferees) to catch up to their batchmates during certain months where we will not be holding major events. The goal of an Unlock Fragment is for characters to gain development even while waiting for mods to release new events. As members, we require you to take initiatives for your own characters’ growth!

Unlock Fragments vs. Major Unlock
Hosting or participating in an Unlock Fragment three (3) times will equate as one (1) full Unlock Event participation. A minimum of 2 participants is required for an Unlock Fragment, and there will be no cap on maximum participants unless the one hosting it implements the limitation. More than one person may host the same Unlock Fragment, since we would like to encourage you to collaborate with another as it promotes cooperation. While this means you do have to participate in more events instead of only participating in the major events, the Unlock Fragments can be designed to take place during the time where you have higher possibility to participate. Plus, it is expected that a Fragment event will not be as large in comparison to the major unlock's scale, so it should be easier for participants to complete!
Upon completing the required amount of Unlock Fragments, you will receive the same rewards as you usually would when you participate in an Unlock event. However, keep in mind that you still need to collect enough points to unlock your next Heart Rank after completing 3 Fragments.

Participation Types
There are 2 types of participation for Unlock Fragments.
Please do your best to stick to your execution plans for your event after receiving approval from the mods! We would like to string the events together in their proper chronological order for the plot, so it is important if you ensure they start and end according to your planned time window.
Again, do note that mods will need to oversee how your event unfolds, so it is required that we witness your Unlock Fragment being RPd/HCd!
- A [CLOSED] participation allows the host/s to choose the participants they would like to be involved in their event and have developments with.
- An [OPEN] participation allows anyone to participate in the Unlock Fragment via sign-ups.
