A lirse’s Study Points are an intangible measure of their experiences. Study Points are not so much a measure of intelligence as it is a measure of diligence. To lirse, how smart you are falls second to how willing you are to learn, as well as how willing you are to share your studies. A lirse’s place within their society is based on their SP.
Study Points are earned each time a lirse is drawn or written. Additional SP can be gained through activities, and bonuses. To keep track of these points, please create a log to track their progress.
A lirse's rank can be determined by the ribbons and certificates in the Achievements section of the comments. Ranks correspond to a lirse's level; a Novice lirse is level 1, a Student lirse is level 2, an Aspirant is level 3, a Teacher is level 4, and a Scholar is level 5.
Your lirse can rank up here!
Logs
Logs are records of your lirse’s experiences. For SP tracking, only one lirse may be used per log.
A Study Point Log should include:
A link to the lirse’s import
Links and possibly thumbnails to art and literature, with relevant SP counts listed
A total SP count at the top of the log
The tracker should be separated by rank, with confirmation linked as each rank is earned.
