Players use their Base to venture out and do missions for and against the 5 AI Factions that occupy Marova as they level their characters, weapons and the skills of their Reapers (Tier 1 Operators).

As you move around in Land, Sea and Air vehicles you end up in the islands 5 different biomes on missions that range from high-stakes HVT missions to collecting resources for the game's deep crafting system.

Distinct Possibility Studios announced Reaper Actual: Aether Protocol Series 1, a limited collection of 25,000 digital card NFTs designed with direct in-game utility for its open-world persistent shooter Reaper Actual. The collection will mint on Rarible beginning Tuesday, December 16th at 9:00 AM PDT, offering players and collectors early ownership of Reapers, Bases, Deployment access, and future in-game assets.

Aether Protocol Series 1 introduces a new way for players to secure their place in the world of Reaper Actual and the island of Marova before certain content becomes playable. Each digital card features a rarity tier (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary), with unique traits and attribute values ensuring that no two cards are alike.

These NFTs represent a mix of playable and future in-game items that are in development, including Reapers, Bases, Deployment Dates, and exclusive properties such as Legendary Mansions (Villas). Items already live in the game will be transferable into Reaper Actual after the close of the mint, while newly revealed Reapers and Villas are currently in development and will be introduced in future updates.

Mint Details and Pricing Model

The Aether Protocol Series 1 mint will follow a time-based, transparent pricing structure:

• 25,000 total NFTs
• Limited to 100 NFTs available per hour
• Starting price: $10 per card
• Price increases by $0.10 every hour
• Mint duration: 11 days
• Platform: Rarible.io

This hourly release model rewards early participation while allowing players to enter the mint gradually over time.

“Aether Protocol Series 1 is about giving players meaningful ownership before these assets even hit the battlefield,” said John Smedley, CEO of Distinct Possibility Studios. “These cards aren’t just collectibles — they’re playable Reapers, Bases, and access points that will shape how players enter and experience Reaper Actual, both now and as the game evolves.”

Real Utility, Not Speculation

Unlike traditional cosmetic NFTs, Aether Protocol Series 1 cards are designed with real gameplay relevance and utility. Each card carries attribute values that impact Reapers, Bases, and Deployment Group access, allowing holders to:

• Secure early and tiered access to the game
• Own Reapers with a unique mix of attributes and Base locations with varied rarity
• Acquire future content before it becomes publicly available
• Trade assets freely on secondary markets without impacting gameplay balance

As an added benefit, Foundation Alpha members who have already opened their bundles and transferred Reapers and Bases into the game will receive one free NFT airdropped to each eligible wallet.

Be the first to own new and future Reapers, Bases, and even Legendary Mansions before they become playable in the game. Reaper Actual: Aether Protocol Series 1 is a limited mint of 25,000 digital cards on Rarible, each with unique attributes that make every card — even Commons — one of a kind.

Foundation Alpha Series 1 Bundles are available on the Epic Games Store and at ReaperActual.com. Players will be among the first to drop into Marova, a massive, war-torn island where hundreds of players and five NPC factions battle for control in an ever-evolving world.

Key Features:

• Persistent World - Victories and defeats reshape the island’s control between PvP fights and NPC factions in real-time. Players will have a progression and crafting system to build the best gear, all of which stays in the world.
• Player Bases - These strongholds host crafting, weapon production, and the ability to defend your home turf. Fortify your position, because both NPC factions and other players can raid your base. If it goes bad, do not worry, gather your allies and seek revenge with your own raid.
• Dynamic Narrative Progression - Hand crafted story arcs seamlessly merge with an in-game mission system. Players are constantly drawn into conflict, not just against each other, but against the island’s relentless native factions. You may get a mission to capture an enemy leader, while others will get a mission to defend them. This interwoven story network gives Reapers their own personal story.
• Combat and Skills - Precision gunplay, cover systems, and squad coordination are critical for battles. Reapers can also unlock and craft land, sea and air vehicles to make the world of Reaper Actual fully traversable.
• Player-Driven Economy - Craft, trade, and influence a dynamic in-game economy which puts creativity into the Reapers hands. Reapers do not just build guns, but gear as well. Night vision goggles, comms devices, and vehicles may hold the key to victory.

Reaper Actual will be available on PC (Steam / Epic Game Store)  and reaperactual.com once it's launched. The version available from reaperactual.com will allow players to access an optional Web3 marketplace to buy and sell items they obtain in the game like gun skins, new Reaper skins, bases, and rare items they craft. This Web3 marketplace also allows players to make these same items and sell them to each other. Distinct Possibility Studios has selected the Etherlink blockchain for the Web3 portions of the game.
