On Bon Voyage, certain threads are known as Missions. A Mission is a special type of thread that is exempt from many of the usual rules of the site, providing a greater degree of leniency in regards to certain aspects. This is especially useful if you wish to thread with other people outside of where your character currently is, or otherwise involve yourselves in stories that would be less feasible for a particular group of characters.
In Missions, the following details will apply:
- Out of Timeline
Missions are exempt from the typical issues of timeline. Any Missions you partake in are considered non-canonical to your character(s)’s stories, so you do not have to worry about when exactly a Mission took place between other threads you have been a part of. In short, they can be considered filler, and thus not relevant outside of having fun.- Out of Space
A character can partake in a Mission, regardless of their present in-character location, due to Missions taking place in their own separate board - the OOC Zone! Feel free to set your Mission on any island, or a fantastical setting of your own design, without a need to worry about in-character progression.- Reduced Rewards
Because of the way Missions work, they do not provide the same reward as a character’s "canon" threads. You will earn 10 Account Rebate (per post) instead of X-Poinz for your characters!
You do not have to inform anyone if you wish to start a Mission (other than your thread partners), nor are there any other hard restrictions in regards to starting them. However, you must include the Mission ID Number in the title of your thread when you create it, evidencing the fact that you are taking on a Mission.
Below you can find a complete list of all the available Missions, including all of the necessary details you need to know regarding them. Information provided will include:
- Mission ID Number
A simple two digit number that identifies the Mission. You must include this in the title of any thread that focuses on this Mission, though the exact name of the thread is entirely up to you to decide!- Waypoints
Each Mission’s description has three focuses known as Waypoints, which are used to determine the course of the Mission itself. You must abide by these for the sake of the Mission, but any other details are entirely up to you and your thread partners. All Missions are flexible, but our Waypoint system is key in keeping on track, even if you provide a brand new spin on the story! Waypoints will always be highlighted in bold text in the descriptions below and (in many cases) may allow you leniency in their portrayal.- Difficulty
Each Mission has a particular grade of difficulty, ranging from 1 to 5, which determines how much of a challenge it will pose. A difficulty rating of 1 indicates a Mission that is relatively easy for all (any additional challenges faced are up to you), with 5 indicating that it will be exceptional difficult. A Mission’s difficulty rating does not limit certain Classes from participating, but should give you an idea of how dangerous it will be. A 3 is an average. The number of full stars (★) shows this.
