Anyone who collects credits is eligible to name three characters every year and one permanent structure. For every 35 credits collected you may name another character and for every 70 credits you may name another permanent structure (for example you may have 40 credits, which increases you can name four characters a year, or you may have 150, which means you can name seven characters and three permanent structures). Being eligible does not mean that you have to name any characters or any permanent structures. Your level of involvement is entirely up to you.

31 credits
               name a race in a collection of your choice, no story included

34 credits
               name a race in a collection of your choice, unposted story of at least 1000 words included

Races can be named in the Magi collection and the World Walkers collection at this time, but this may change. If you're collecting credits that you're eligible to name one race a year and for every 100 credits you collect you may name another race, up to a limit of three a year. Again, your level of involvement is entirely up to you, so you are under no obligation to name a race just because you're collecting credits.

               name a race in a collection of your choice and a character in this race, no story included

Naming a setting is different to naming a permanent structure. A permanent structure is a river, a bookshop or a town, while a setting is an entire kingdom/country. Collections you can name settings in are: Aurora's World; Heliopath's World; Magi; and the World Walkers. If you're collecting credits then you're eligible to name one setting a year and for every 200 credits you collect you may name another setting, up to a limit of three a year. Again, your level of involvement is entirely up to you, so you are under no obligation to name a setting just because you're collecting credits.
