Justly Earned Victory Battle: Negate all Force bonuses and penalties to cards at this battlefield from actions.
If my Personality has a "-X/-Y" token created by an action and I play Justly Earned Victory for its second action, which of the following happens?
1) My Personality's Force and Chi return to normal, as the Chi penalty is from the same effect as the Force penalty. 2) My Personality's Force returns to normal, as JEV only negates bonuses and penalties to Force. 3) My Personality's Force and Chi remain at their lowered state, as the penalty is from a token, not an action.

1) No. While the Chi penalty is from the same effect, Justly negates a specific penalty, not the whole effect.
2) There you go. Spot on.
3) No, because http://rules.l5r.com/Non-card_physical_game_elements:"Effects of tokens come from the card or other source that created them."
Also, this was already pretty much answered here.
