August Plotting & CR Post

August Plotting & CR Post
Hello everyone! It's time for the announcement and plotting post for August!
OOC Housekeeping
- The Zodiac Network Post will go up August 1st, with a midmonth post going up August 15th. The first half of the event log will be posted August 4th, with the second half going up August 11th.
- If you haven't already, please remember to check in for activity! Activity is due by the end of the month!
- 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
- Trick Room TM are now available for pokemon to learn
- Deus Gem Quartz can be purchased for your ARCUS!
Side quests
Side quests have been given an overhaul! In the new side quest system, players will now be able to submit their own side quests to be posted, as well as earn regain points. Go ahead and check it out!
New side quests will be posted this weekend!
POKEGO Update
POKEGO has been vibing and will continue to vibe! Don't worry guys, I haven't forgotten about you. We're just dealing with one of the other factions being on fire for months. Please help put out the fire. Please.
As always, you can check out updates to the PICHU facility here and information about Cygnus Academy here.
Zodiac Update
The playable Zodiac characters are now on the app, and they are now have been given the job of assisting the Libra app users on top of their prior responsibilities. Do they get bonuses for this? No. But we'll give you a pizza party!
Starting now until the start of the second phase of the plot, the Zodiac characters will be tasked with getting Yggdrasil capable of traveling between the realms. This means they will need some type of bifrost/light magic tool that will tap into the tree. It is entirely up to you how the Zodiac crew manages to pull this off, rather they make a gadget or have a wild adventure into the Spirit Realm.
Black Order Update
So bad news, you guys won't be getting paid this month again. And your bosses are now coming after you personally.
But good news! Sympathetic members of the Order have noticed Kaisou's efforts, and they will be coming to help! Starting with the event log, Black Order ally NPCs will be around in kaisou! They will be on the Gemini app, and available to help with plot things.
The Allies that will be arriving are:
- Acheron (Effy)
- Ardbert (Saffy)
- Bayonetta (Kyah)
- Black Swan (Jay)
- Camilla (Amber)
- Childe/Tartaglia (Lum)
- Emet-Selch (Fae)
- Kamek (Lapi)
- Noel Vermillion (Bon)
- Randy Orlando (Jade)
- Ravio (Usagi)
- Risotto Nero (Amber)
- Velvet Crowe (Yuff)
- Vermouth (MK)
Feel free to plot with any of these guys about pre-established CR or thread possibilities while they're in Kaisou!
City Events
Since August is a fire month, expect the weather to be extremely hot! Luckily, it'll be a dry heat so it'll probably be more bearable than July's humidity.
And with August comes the Kaisou County Fair! Check out the fair in-between the revolution, there's lots of fun new foods to try!
Special Event: Asgard
This month's event will the big climax to the Black Order plot, and features the realm of Asgard! Characters will be facing off against the leaders of the Black Order, aka the Unyielding, and storming Asgard. The plot will mostly be focusing on the boss battles, but it will also provide a chance for characters to learn some of the Order's darkest secrets (YES, THERE'S MORE)
Speaking of the Unyielding, it's time to announce who you'll be facing off against! The Five unyielding are:
- Arianrhod (Yuff)
- Jun Wu (Ryuu)
- Kirei Kotomine (Nao)
- Kratos Aurion (Saffy)
- Tsuchigomori (Prince)
Each of these Unyielding will be their own boss fights with their own unique mechanics. Please read their plotting comments for more information! Also please note that these fights will be more difficult than the Zealot fights, so please make sure your characters are ready!
Due to the sheer amount of stuff going on, the event log will be broken down into two updates:
August 4th (aka August 3rd at 6pm EST): First half! This will contain town events, the arrival of the Black Order Allies. And the first two unyielding battles (Kratos and Arianrhod). Arianrhod's battle will take place in the fields of Hyrule and will feature a giant mech battle, while Kratos will be breaking into the Fortress of Meropide... for any of you unlucky souls who were hanging out there.
August 11th (aka August 10th at 6pm EST): Second half! This will be when the player characters will be heading into Asgard to face off with the final three members of the Unyielding (Kirei, Tsuchigomori and Jun Wu). They will all be taking place in different sectors of Asgard. Characters will also get a chance to explore Asgard and dig up more of the Order's secrets.
After the plot is over, September is planned to be a chiller month and that'll also be the time when players can start to figure out what the future of the Order will look like.

QUESTIONS
ARCUS/SOUL DEVICE/DRESSPHERE LOAD OUTS
You are welcome to edit your load out until you tag into the corresponding unyielding fight thread! Once you tag into the fight, your load-outs cannot be changed so please consider carefully.
This does not apply to Persona, Visions, Canon Abilities or Kaisou Abilities since those have a tendency to manifest powers in dramatic shonen moments.

can March check on Homura's file in the library? to make sure she's okay and nobody's done anything to her or her friend. she might also want to check out Homura's room, too!
and for Percy, he'd like to know where to find these inventions that he apparently made in a past life, and if they have any blueprints his previous lives left behind. he wants to destroy them bc he does NOT want anyone to get hands on dangerous weapons he invented.

With regard to the log and Asgard in general there are a few things Wei Wuxian would seek out for general knowledge:
Is there more information to be found around the large purple dragon?
Are there methods in the library listed as to how they found the AUs who have files already and continued to recruit them in the past?
Are Jun Wu and Kirei Kotomine’s files readable after their defeat?
Does TBO have notes regarding studies, solutions, or any information that will give insight towards the Spirit Vein issue in Kaisou?
Is there a file on Willow and/or Giratina that shares anything we don't already know?
Are there any signs of the gods that inhabited Asgard?
And for his personal concern he'll try to find any notes on Xie Lian and more importantly and specifically, Lan Wangji. These don't have to be written mind you nor do Jun Wu or Kirei's, but he'd want to find them either way.

this time i am not playing a lady but rather bringing you one randy orlando from the trails series! he's a former merc who left after a bad encounter only to be picked up by tbo.
he lives his life with the higher ups threatening to send him to meropide but he plays good just enough to avoid it. his hobbies are reading saucy magazines and going to casinos. i would say i am sorry for him, but we know i'm not.
sorry about your basement, elliot. you probably wanna get it cleaned after this.

(She got reassigned to Florida at some point in the times in between)
Meanwhile Risotto Nero (Renato Nieri in his AU) is going to be coming in from Venice
Idk what else to say here
Come at me I want to give these two Connections
ARIANRHOD, THE STEEL MAIDEN (Unyielding)
Her style of combat is mostly melee, with using a massive lance. The fight will be pretty straight forward, with two parts to it.
Part 1: You'll be fighting just Arianrhod! She will hit like a truck and move extremely fast. Also she might crucify some of you as a treat.
Part 2: She will summon her Divine Knight which is a 8 meter tall (26 feet tall) mech that is equipped with a massive lance made of special metal that is near unbreakable. Basically, the only way to beat this form is to be Big Yourself (this is also why this battle is taking place in Hyrule, who cares about collateral damage baby!)
Personality wise, Arianrhod is probably the most noble and moral of the Unyielding, though she's clearly become too jaded over the years. Immortal characters might also realize that she was once this world's version of Joan of Arc.
She will most likely die when her battle is over, as she will start to fade away once her mech is destroyed- but it is possible to seal her away if you rather not kill her. I'm open to either option!

Tsuchigomori : ( Unyielding )
Anyway, I have This thing that's totally normal for me to ask ya'll to fill out ONLY IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON YOUR CHARACTER GOING INTO ASGARD. If your character is not going into the belly of the beast, please disregard.
Tsuchigomori is known as the Timekeeper, and is one of the less scary Unyielding due to his desire for staying inside his library which Holds literally all the secrets of the Order. He's usually the one who hounds Jusis and other higher ups to turn in their paperwork on time.
He has an obsession with knowledge and keeping track of history and every bit of writing is sacred, everything needs to be recorded.
TWs for possible spider imagery because he is, in fact, a spider-like fae creature, but I can leave any descriptions of spiders or anything relating spiders out of tags with him if asked.
His fight will be a layered labyrinth where characters will need to face him 1 on 1 and pass his tests/survive his maze in order to get through to him.

Come at me, you won't.
Also, me whenever Jun Wu's English actor speaks (yes this is literally his voice in the English dub)
Okay so here's how his fight will work.
Phase 1: You're fighting his pets first. You gotta EARN this boss fight, goddamn it. There will be AOE, status effects, and things that will target tanks AND healers so NOBODY IS SAFE.
Phase 2: You'll fight The Ghost General himself. He has armor that is invulnerable except for one specific spot (please thank Xie Lian later). Jun Wu will also make it extremely hard to hit him with magic, is immune to status effects, can debuff you, can heal himself, and overall it's going to be a battle of attrition. This is why there'll ONLY be two phases because holy shit, my guy.
I'm using my entire DM brain against you guys so I hope you enjoy the fight! ;w;

Canon: FFXIV
Type: OU
About: The WOL that doesn't eat rocks and is very nice but watch out
Event Plans: Takame will be facing Kirei. Something is going to happen. If you feel your dudes are very close to Takame or are facing Kirei, I heavily encourage that you DM me.
Character Name: Eunie
Canon: Xenoblade 3
Type: Former Black Order AU
About: Salty English Bird Healer who has had enough of the Order's shit.
Event Plans: She'll be primarily against Tsuchigomori then will be running support where needed. It's time she put a permanent end to this cycle of her life.
That said, she will be saying farewell to Kaisou at the end of this event to try and work in EU to build a bridge between POKEGO and whatever remains of TBO.
Character Name: Diarmuid ua Duibhne
Canon: Fate/ (servantswap AU)
Type: OU
About: The Actual Knight of Fianna but in anime form.
Event Plans: DIARMUID HAS BEEN WAITING ALL FUCKING YEAR FOR THIS. He will not be facing Kirei unless that fight goes catastrophically bad, primarily he will be against Kratos in Meropide! But he will be going into Asgard as well.
Character Name: Wei Wuxian
Canon: MDZS
Type: POKEGO AU
About: Local demonic lord necromancer that's a shitposting gremlin with a vengeful streak.
Event Plans: Hey, Jun Wu, turn on your location he just wants to talk.
Anything else? Ragna will not be participating in this event because Noel is from the same canon, she will be running support in what fights I can fit her. Her plotting comment is here!

Canon: Honkai: Star Rail
Type: Paranormal AU
About: College student on a break has too many jobs, also collector of older brothers apparently
Event Plans: So!!! Faye will be at least part of the fight in Hyrule with Arianrhod. I haven't completely decided on phase 2 plans so if y'all want her anywhere let's plot!
Anything else? Faye wants to actually be able to fight and protect other people, but more than willing to use her telepathy for their success. If anyone needs that for any reason just let me know, you're free to assume she's being a messenger so long as she's in the area.

Character Name: Knuckles the Echidna
Canon: Sonic the Hedgehog (movie-verse)
Type: OU
About: A teenager red echidna alien who's far too serious and far too naive for his own good. Likes grapes and punching things. He's... trying to figure out what to do with himself and has had "make friends and find a hobby" suggested to him but doesn't know where to BEGIN, so. There's that.
Event Plans: He is here to punch things I haven't decided WHICH things but whatever he's pointed at he will absolutely punch!! ... Honestly he barely has any idea what's going on here but look. at least he's willing to help??
Character Name: Ritsuka Fujimaru
Canon: Fate/Grand Order
Type: OU
About: Cheerful, friendly, outgoing, and packed with way more trauma under the surface than anyone her age ought to. Apparently that's what happens when you spend 3+ years saving the world from various threats instead of going to high school. The last couple months have been KIND OF ROUGH for her in various ways and she is. doing her best at coping with it all.
Event Plans: I don't have anything firmly nailed down beyond the fact that she WILL help somehow. As well being extremely bewildered by why is there ANOTHER person from her world in TBO this is getting to be a worrisome pattern?? ANYWAY she has some kaisou elemental powers but what she excels at isn't fighting directly but rather playing a sort of battlefield tactician for other, much more competent fighters, as she did against Cu! I'm always open to plotting on this point so if anyone's interested in teaming up with her lmk. She also can revive a single person per month so if anyone really wants to have a character temporarily die we can possibly work something out.
Oh and she has cool magic bracelet that if you're her friend she can maybe borrow a power from you, check it out!
Character Name: Beredvyn of Nal (aka Meredith Nelson)
Canon: original character
Type: Normal AU
About: Midwestern gal who likes sports and swordfighting and was working on getting her career off the ground when a weird app showed up on her phone. Things have only gotten weirder since, and she's distinctly less than thrilled about it. Has a 'pet' griffin and is trying to deal with the fact that her cousin no longer remembers the app but she's still stuck in the middle of this craziness.
Event Plans: She's absolutely going to fight something but again I haven't nailed down just what yet! She's also 100% going to be at the county fair later in the month, if anyone wants to get dragged along to that she can do so. |Db
Anything else?
Ritsuka is very sorry she jinxed it, everyone...
Usagi's Three

Time zone: EST (Nights)
Character Name: Cotton Cookie
Canon: Cookie Run Kingdom
Type: Zodiac AU
About: Quintissential Kindly Grandma Type, with a side dose of 'oh hey she actually did a bunch of camping in her youth and still does the occasional hike'. Likes to keep tanks, does a heck of a lot of knitting and baking, she will dote on you if you look younger than 35.
Event Plans: Grandma is supposed to help out with the Bifrost Assignment, which is going to be tricky no doubt! She's also helping to give Meropide a few homey touches so hopefully when Kratos hits, she's busy elsewhere. Maybe even in another room. Look that place is big, a gal could miss the whole thing!
Debating between sitting on her points (Got a goal for CRAFTING! WITH KNITTING STUFF) or putting down for a Sheep Upgrade on her Trainersphere. Decisions decisions...
Handily though- SHE'S FIRE ELEMENT! And also handily she got dragon skin last month.
Anything else?
meropide fight, probably
Character Name: Jonathan Joestar
Canon: JJBA: Phantom Blood
Type: CRAU/OU
About: Beef with a heart of gold turned teeny tiny bat, now able to shapeshift into beef once again! Despite being in his early 20s, the Victorian Gentleman spirit is strong enough that he just kind of radiates weird grandpa energy depending on the hour. The rest of the time he just radiates 'delightful nerd', so the joys in boxing might be a bit alarming to anyone unaware of the part where he was originally 6'5'' and 200ish pounds of muscle.
Event Plans: Jonathan might come along for a raid, but he also might not; as it stands, he's the one most likely to sit out of most things to be helping on the side through all the stuff that doesn't involve charging after a big big bad guy. That said, I'm flexible on that, especially if a fight turns out to be in dire need of a zippy little bat somehow.
On the investing end, he's leaving you all a gift as I intend to dip into the World Regain Pool again using JoJo this month; specifically, the goal is TM: Protect, which will hopefully help people a lot! Including him, obviously. Otherwise his points are probably going toward the Make Yasuho An Ambulance fund, for good reason.
Anything else?
He will get there when he gets there,
Character Name: Yasuho Hirose
Canon: JJBA: JoJolion
Type: Normal AU fOR ALL THAT MATTERS NOW
About: Mild university student has blossomed into the healer archetype beautifully, which is to say she can now shout 'SCREW THIS' and charge into battle with a great sword! Ever the overachiever and overworker, people are probably not very surprised when they realize her monster type is Half Faerie.
Event Plans: SHE'S FIGHTIN! Or at least healing! Yasuho will initially be caught up in the initial phase of the Hyrule Arianrhod fight, which is pretty easy to have happen when you regularly go there to practice combat on the side of your work hours.
After that however, she'll be helping in Asgard as well- most likely she will be going to the Tsuchigomori fight, as I am a sucker for 1v1 trials, but if character bloat leaves a different fight devoid of much needed support roles I'm willing to move her! I'll be shuffling points around to ensure that in addition to her standard recuria and holy breath combo, she has the ability to cast more spells in succession, as well as cast Shining. And possibly pull out a shield.
It depends, really! I'll probably also be tossing her at a sidequest because, she can't sit still right now.
Anything else?
i honestly tried really hard to find some kind of healer backline meme but if we wait on that this'll take me a month so OHHHH WELLLLLL
Mimi~
Contact: mimimimibobimi @ discord
Time zone: PST
Character Name: Yunaka
Canon: Fire Emblem Engage
Type: OU
About: Once upon a time Yunaka was an assassin for hire and was like 'eh, I think this profession is probably a net negative on the universe'. So when her boss died and she was free to make her own choices instead of getting bangs like a normal person she gave herself a new NAME and decided to start a new LIFE where she is SILLY and FUN and NORMAL!!!! And juuuuust when she was recruited by a merry gang planning to save the world, she ended up here instead!
Event Plans: She's been given the down low on what's up with the Black Order, and is largely sympathetic to the cause of those rebelling against the order. She doesn't really want to call attention to herself, but will be trying to find ways to help the cause.
Anything else? She just arrived and is getting settled into a new life at Kaisou! This is the freedom that in some ways she didn't know she could dream of, so she's wrestling with a lot of existential questions. But some potential threads developing...
Thorn
Contact: thornweaver @ discord, journal PM
Time zone: PST
Character Name: Dr. Ratio
Canon: Honkai: Star Rail
Type: Normal AU
About: Grumpy but passionate college professor who's never quite been able to find fulfillment, suddenly discovers magic is real and starts remembering a past life as a grumpy but passionate academic who could do anything except get noticed by the god of knowledge.
Event Plans: I'm going to upgrade his abilities as much as I can, but compared to people who've been here longer he's probably not going to be a whole lot of use, especially since he was just a regular guy and has only gotten the idea that he might have to fight stuff in the last month or so. He's wholeheartedly in support of the rebellion against the Black Order just on general principles, though, so he'll be looking for what he can do.
Anything else? He'd be happy to accept a crash course in shadow magic and/or combat skills from any existing CR or anyone they direct him toward.
Character Name: Maxima quo Priscus
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Type: OU
About: A high-ranked member of a liberal faction within a militaristic empire, he defected after he and his allies were used as pawns and nearly killed once their usefulness was ended. While he was living in exile, the Empire fell to civil war and a zombie(?) apocalypse, so he marched to the capital acting as the guide for a foreign aid convoy, just in time for a worse apocalypse to get set off. The worst of the danger is settled now and he was spending his time organizing the refugees and trying to re-establish a society, until he got brought to Kaisou.
Event Plans: Aside from definitely running into the reincarnation of the man who spent some time being the first emperor of his home country (among his many atrocities ♥), not a lot of plans. He's still settling in and trying to figure out what to do with himself, but he's very sympathetic to the fight for freedom.
Anything else? He has military training and can operate heavy machinery, and the weird dot in the middle of his forehead makes him good at shooting stuff with guns, for lore reasons.

Character Name: Eve
Canon: Black Cat
Type: OU
About: Originally made to be a bioweapon, Eve was rescued and taken in by bounty hunters back home. She has now been adopted by the cottage crew. A young teen curious about the work around her, she loves books and people watching. Eve can transform into weapons at will, a power which she wants to use to help protect people.
Event Plans: No plans for Eve to go fight the Black Order (because she is inexperienced, pacifist might have issues with all the murder, and also rl). She may watch over the city if her family allows it, just keeping an eye out in case of the worst. Otherwise, she will be open for the county fair and side quests.
Character Name: Danielle Ford Usher (Dance-For-Us)
Canon: The Blackout Club
Type: Paranormal AU
About: Back in canon, Dance-For-Us is one of many god-like forces hanging around the town of Redacre. She allied with the teens there against her "parent" Speak-As-One, who was controlling the adults into building a mysterious tunnel. Her specialty was "dance," especially using it to fight off fear. Now she has become Danielle, a young college drop-out who has stuck around Kaisou. She works odd jobs in hopes to finish her degree, but she still loves to party and dance.
Event Plans: Dani might end up as support if need be, either in fight or out of fight. While inexperienced, she has a LOT of tools now. She can also help with ferrying people to the Vogue since she has teleportation now.
Anything else? Admittedly I may spend most of my time in August focused on a certain Black Order member.
