March Plotting & CR Post

Hello everyone! It's time for the announcement and plotting post for March!

OOC Housekeeping

The Zodiac Network Post will go up March 1st, with a midmonth post going up March 15th. An event log will be posted on March 4th.
If you haven't already, please remember to check in for activity! Activity is due by the end of the month!
For anyone whose obtained a Vision through gacha goodwill, a guide on how to use them has been written up!
Just a reminder for anyone who hasn't joined yet, but we have a game discord for current players! It's completely optional to join, but come in and say hi!

World Changes

The TM Thunderfang is now available for eligible pokemon!
The Krusty Krab can be found in the bottom of Kaisou's harbor off the beach.
Spirit Trees can now be found around Cathedral Hill

More details about world changes can be found on the World Changes page.

Side quests
Side quests for March are now available! February quests are now no longer available to sign up for, but you can redeem quest logs for gacha points.

POKEGO Update
POKEGO had a productive month, between helping the Black Order resolve the Love potion fiasco and also helping out with Cupid. For the month of March, they've been requested in assisting with the Fae and try to further research that.... special culture.

As always, you can check out updates to the PICHU facility here and information about Cygnus Academy here.

Black Order Update
Black Order has had an eventful month! After sealing a nefarious love potion maker, the potion maker met an unfortunate accident at the hands of Ardyn. Oh no. So sad. Meanwhile, the Zealot Teresa made her presence known in Kaisou... much to the joy of everyone.

This month, the Black Order will be tasked with doing what they can to make sure the Fae stay in their realm and resolving whatever new issue they have now. Not only that but sometime during this month, the dead body of Teresa will be making an appearance. Stay tune!

City Events
Spring time is here in Kaisou. To mark the arrival of spring, there will be celebrations for St. David's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and the Equinox. The Equinox in particular will have a festival in Blue Fish Lake Park where there will be various shrines to nature and spring deities set up. If you happen to know any, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to set one up...

Otherwise, March marks the month of Easter! To celebrate, there will be an easter egg hunt! Unfortunately someone's gotten a little too zealous and enchanted the eggs to have lil legs. Oops!

Free Monster Changes
March has become our monster month, and so the tradition continues! Starting now and ending March 31st, every character is eligible for 3 free monster changes*. There is no maximum point value on these changes, and you can also unlock a second monster type free of charge for the month. We have recently overhauled and added more monster changes to be purchased, so please check those out!

Any free monster changes should be redeemed through the regain post. Thanks!

* God-related regains are not eligible for free regains

Spirit Realm Event: Tír na nóg
Along with the free monster changes, comes our very favorite pains in the asses- that's right, the fae are back! This year, the Fae have decided to settle their differences by holding the Fae Olympics .... which basically means they'll be kidnapping/strongarming people into competing into various dangerous competitions for them.

Characters will be sorted into two teams: Characters who are Fire, Earth or Light element will be on Team Seelie and be given light colored cottagecore uniforms. Meanwhile characters who are Water, Wind or Shadow element will be Team Unseelie and dress like a bunch of goths. Characters who don't have an element will get their team chosen via coinflip.

These competitions include:

A Dance competition (with ribbons)
A marathon
A duel between libra app users

Characters who partake in this plot will be expected to compete in at least ONE of these competitions (but are welcome to compete in all of them!). As for the duel, these will be 1v1 or 2v2 duels in which characters will face off against each other in fights where they will be allowed all their powers and weapons. There will be healers around (either fae or player-characters), but if you go so hard you kill each other... the death permission post is here.

Players are welcomed to decide amongst themselves which characters are dueling and can duel as many times as they like. For anyone who threads out a duel, they can turn in the thread to the regain post and gain a free regain that's worth 3 points or less from an element different from their own. Threads must contain at least 3 comments from your character, and you can only turn in one thread per character for a free regain.

The free regain offer is open to any character that participates in the duel, regardless of who wins or loses. There are no rewards to winning, so we ask that everyone please handle this part of the plot in a calm and mature manner. If you need help deciding who will win/lose your match, please comment below and the mods will happily do a coin toss.

code bases by tricklet

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Player Name: Yuff
Character Name: Jun Nightroad
Team: Seelie!

Character Fighting Abilities: So, uh. A lot.

Since Jun doesn't care that much about winning, he'll adjust his fight style based on his opponent's power levels. In all his fight styles, the guy has enhanced strength, reflexes, speed, and endurance. He may be prone to teleporting as well, but that depends on the fight.

Pure Melee fight: Jun will use his Warrior Dressphere to be mostly a pure melee combatant with a great sword. He's proficient with a sword, but he won't use any powers in this mode.

Basic Powered Fight: He will rely solely on his own innate powers for this fight, which means in addition to sword fighting he'll have access to telekinesis, earth/plant powers, and his monster transformation (which atm is just dove unsure if I'll add more) so things like flight and levitation are also on the table.

Armatus Mode: Jun and Mikleo will fuse into a magical girl mode. This will allow him full access to Mikleos water/ice powers and receive a HUGE power buff. This is basically the hardest he'll be willing to go with mortal characters.

Seal Knight Mode: He will only use this form if your character is unkillable, but basically it'd allow him access to his full holy knight powers. Basically expect extremely powerful light magic and loads of pain.

How your character will approach the fight: Jun truly is not interested in killing anyone, so he'll just scale his power based on his opponent. Winning's nice but he's honestly not that interested in it. Win or lose they complete the mission so he don't care.

Fight Difficulty: A RANGE. He'll adjust to your level, with his max capping out close to the 9 range.
Looking for 1v1 or 2v2? Whichever is good with me!
Anything else:

August is not much of a fight-y guy

but August also realizes that he may be one of the few who can take his bestie so IF YOU ARE DOWN FOR BESTIE BRAWL all August asks is that you not use the holy magic he's seen what that shit can do and he can only heal himself so fast
