  • Plots in the past month w/ other non-canon characters & follow-ups from previous developments: (I'll include some canon characters too because non-canons are part of those plots and I don't want to not mention character who are relevant to the plot in question)

    SMUGGLING
    Broke into and forcefully overtook a smuggling facility belonging to Sinnoh’s crime syndicate along with (before he became one of Rocket’s Beast). This was of huge importance not only to increase Mars’ underground network and Rocket’s resources, but because it marked the start of a blood feud between him and Sinnoh’s crime families – given his personal connection to them.

    This smuggling facility appears in multiple threads, including situations like a hostile encounter with ranger when one of the pokémon accidentally breaks free.

    In this same topic, he continues to work closely with and has met with people like , who often smuggles for Rocket from Lilycove’s lighthouse (a future visit to the lighthouse has been arranged).

    ROCKET PR
    Mars cares a lot for Team Rocket’s public image, and he has put a lot of work in that regard. Most of the new plots regarding this are still in the planning process, but two major things of note are that he’ll work with to use his position as HNN journalist to spread a good view of Team Rocket, while also helping navigate the PR nightmare that is the outing of her identity as a Rocket Beast.

    SEA MAUVILLE
    Mars is actively involved in ’s plans for the derelict Sea Mauville facility, having provided funding for the project and also visiting the facility itself with . Most recently, he and dived down to inspect some of the facility’s underwater equipment (Occupied Ocean arc).

    EXODUS
    Actively helped with Project Exodus while it was still ongoing, providing pokémon for all participants ( , , , , ) and also taking requisitions to find more Steel types along with , , and herself.

    ROCKET TRAINING
    Mars has taken it upon himself to oversee training and/or testing of the abilities of some of the newer recruits, including @jessica and . He’s also acting as proctor in the recent S.P.E.C.T.R.A Exams for this same purpose.

    Also of note is the fact that has caught his eye after multiple encounters and offering Mars an Spectrier he caught. This will develop into training.

    LAKE TRIO ARC
    Mars continued to attempt to understand Azelf prophecies and the Lake Trio’s warnings, now also compelled by a wish to retrieve his lost memories. With this purpose, he gathered everyone he thought could be involved, having deciphered that the charms held by many strangers probably had something to do with this since he constantly kept running into charmholders. This lead to the 11th Hour thread, where he gathered most of those who he had previously met ( , , , , , , , ) and all the charms activated – apparitions of the Lake Trio gave new warnings, and him, , and suffered grave injuries)

    The injuries sustained during 11th Hour along with the hopelessness expressed by the Lake Trio filled Mars with an overwhelming sense of defeat that is all too rare for him. This is further explored in a thread with , where he seeks comfort in him.

    Later on, he also warns about the things said by the Lake Trio, also sharing his own prophecy in a gesture that proves how much trust he now has in Gavin.

    *As a note there was also a lot of plotting surrounding the injuries previously sustained (brain bubbles), these having been mentioned in threads for months and causing Mars to alter his lifestyle, while also seeking the professional aid of .

    UNOWN REPORT
    He continues to investigate the mysteries of the Unown Report and attempt to find out the truth about it, these efforts even finding themselves increased after having become mentally linked to it during the events of Geomancy. In the past few months, he has searched for Unown alongside and , while there are plans to further investigate the matter (like discussing his link to it and the portals with ). Also of note here is his and ’s encounter with Father Winter, since it shows how distrustful Mars is of him and his peers but how badly he wants answers and to wield the abilities they wield.

    DISTORTIONS
    Given the nature of these as time-space phenomena, Mars has felt compelled to approach them and study them despite his lack of interest in science itself. He found himself trapped in one alongside and there’s also plans for him and to venture into one in the future.

    He has also helped study the strange pokémon that appear in these distortions by showing her his H!Braviary

    BEAUTY CONTEST
    Most recently participated in the Resplendent Resolutions contest held by . He’s also the host of the ♡ Love Contest, which takes place near Valentine’s day and is sponsored by P.O.G Bank (participants are , , , , , , ).

    GRACIDEA SEEDS
    Sought the help of florist and Rocket grunt with sowing his recently acquired Gracidea seeds, having done so near the same smuggling facility he took from his family (a certain expression of gratitude, but not towards them). These Gracideas have now bloomed and Elisabeth is also present as it happens.

    SPONSORSHIPS & DONATIONS
    P.O.G Bank continues to provide sponsorships and make donations when Mars finds the matter to be suitable. Most recently, he discussed the former with while also having made donations to the research facilities at ’s gym in Pacifidlog. There’s also plots in the works like @song being a recipient of a P.O.G Bank excellence in academics scholarship award.

    Also of note regarding P.O.G is that he continues to do ads with as a model.

    PERSONAL RELATIONS
    He has shared much of what is happening to him with , while also being concerned over his fellow admin’s new situation. His bond with has deepened and he has been there for her through grieving the death of . And a similar situation occurs with and helping her through her own issues. On the other hand, Mars has come to rely more on certain people like , , and – the latter being a relationship whose true complexity he’s still trying to figure out in its entirety.

    His grief for his wife continues to be a constant topic in his life, having been discussed with people like and because of a certain sense of kinship in that regard.

    stormy: the main one i can really think of is that stormy's moving in with cait when her babies are born to help take care of the twins. but that's more of a personal plot maybe. still catching my breath from my long hiatus a little bit ago, so i haven't admittedly dove back into deep plotting with stormy just yet! but it is only a matter of time, stormy will get back out there soon.

  • plots in the past month:



ACTIVE PLOTS


mewtwo


mewtwo has made sporadic appearances throughout the region. some of these have been simple cameos while other times it's used as a bridge to rp with characters that would've been harder to get involved with. these include but are not limited to:

, @rayne, ,

going forward, i intend to use mewtwo as a tool for confrontational plots. it'll continue to operate and flesh out its personality while being an easy 'in' for minor conflicts. for example, if i'm sure that if were to learn that the pokemon that attacked him belonged to , it would sour their relationship going forward.

certain members of team rocket will soon learn about mewtwo's existence and it's connection with fernando.



conflict and purpose


the slow burn exposition ends as we enter the conflict stage of an overdue rocket vs league plot! several rockets have established a personal grievance against over multiple threads. we've explored it to cement their perspective, reasons, and sympathy as readers. while a lot of this has been planned out, we've only just started. right now, we're tackling a thread between and that will include and .

as the actions of this thread resolve and consequences are brought onto the table, it'll include other rockets as well! it'll also have lasting repercussions for and new developments for team rocket!

this includes but is not limited to:

, , , ,

depending on initiative, follow through, and acceptance by other players, this can easily bleed out and branch new plots as well.



detective pikachu



the day-to-day interactions and relationships we make give life flavor. while all of these plots are more freeform and don't directly correlate, they all stem from organic and natural meetings rather than preplanning ahead of time. they steer toward more slice of life themes but still have their own continuity. they've also served as great branching points for other characters!

this includes but is not limited to:

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

hiring as a new silph ranger has led to her representing the company in several threads with other characters. at fern's insistence, she's recently moved in with who is staying at one of 's unused condos (due to the occupation of sootopolis).

to thank for her work SWEET HEART SHOP, 's given her his number as well as an elusive black card. she's already put this to use by taking out to dinner on his dime. i've had several threads with scarlet and will probably build onto what we've crafted with a petalburg thread for the GARDECIA FLOWER prompt.

this is a WIP but after a chance meeting with during speed dating, silph co. may be more lenient in who they take in due to the abundance of scientific anomalies happening across hoenn. i'd probably want a few more science based characters that are interested in silph co. before pursuing it, but it's an option! this may also cross into plots with and depending on developments!

in a strange turn of events, fernando's great rivalry with the stones has taken an odd turn. based off her body language, he has the strangest inkling that is into him. she comes off strongly and decisively, something that he would find attractive in just about any other woman. unsure whether this is a trap, or something more, he's been awkwardly avoiding her wherever possible while using her as a scapegoat for 'owning' devon corp.



end note


these only cover a fraction of what i've done recently in-character. i didn't mention a lot of already established and still running plots to trim down on redundancy. as always, i'm always open for workshopping plots that fit!

    Alex: being the quieter of my canons as of late, the big things he’s done lately is take part in the Excavator’s Expedition—and is being a gremlin at the current Speed Dating event, meeting new faces and old along with participating in the Love-themed contest hosted by .

    Of course, he is still taking challenges, with a lot wrapped up in January, some started in February and looking to wrap up a few more in the coming weeks! Have to keep that queue moving, you know.

    He’s also had a very interesting connection made via the Speed Dating event, and well this is proof of it! Also making plans with regarding the ‘Gracidea Seed’ down the line.

    (Now if we’re talking on the trauma-related side of things, nothing much has happened on that front. Well, nothing YET anyway as I am still awaiting my turn with Father Winter, so that’s also something I want to see unfold and have Alex scream in horror / react accordingly to whatever the hell’s going to happen to him there. That, plus encountering the djinni from home—who knows what’s to come out of that?)

    Lars: admittedly Lars has been taking the lion’s share of my time lately because of certain developments that happened after AAPT2 (look, not even a couple of hours after AAPT2 ended [which is backdated to November] he’s right at the scene of another happening over at Flames of Retribution) however he is, as always, tireless.

    Another big step he took is moving on and moving forward, coming to terms with the inevitable that his missing partner is most likely gone and is never coming back anymore. Laurence Michael Anderson, moving on from what perpetually plagues him on a nightly basis? It’s happened!

    Outside of that, he’s found even more family (why hello ) and is trying to come to terms with how to change her perception of his side of the family (bad blood and all that).

    He’s also looking to investigate the ‘rifts’ (what he personally calls the distortions) on his own and going on some unplanned trips into them with because of an interesting hypothesis he’d come up with while in the middle of one of those distortions to see if what they’ve gotten from that time before would react to the strange energies within.

    (Also idk if this would count but his Metagross, Ro, now has a Pokémon rival in the form of ’s Deino. Who is now eagerly awaiting the time that the Deino will evolve into a Hydreigon and they can meet again in another clash!)

    jkjk. currently i'm still working on plots for making his protege! MAGMA ended and so did other important plots mentioned last time.
    using chu-e, i'm also hosting an event right now that the sign ups are for! since i'm just coming back from my hiatus and giving his weird circumstances of death, it's hard to do certain plots? i have been, too, using his pokemon ic to push along a few personal plots with characters like ! i'm hoping for more stuff later down the line.

    temp: i've been pretty active on him! he's been doing gym challenges as fast as i can turn them out, to start! he's also invested in the shadow luxray thing with the shinx he got from the thread! even if nothing comes from it, he's been going to lots of characters (like , , ect) asking for help with it. he wants to try and track it down and reunite the parent and child (which is his working theory ic).
    he's also part of father winter's thing and i'm excited to see where that goes! he was part of the speed dating and will probably be part of the tiered tea when it's posted, too! so, more active in events with him lol i have a plot i've opened up to people, starting with canon spot , where temp tries to learn to control his aggressive zarude, Bongo, and i'm hoping to open that up for him to become a better trainer. he's also helping study hisuian pokemon with his Overqwil! he's ALSO also helping study bonds and make friends with his pokemon! temp is also also ALSO in a thread with walsh right now about his stealing the shinx to start with. i also have plans for him to try and pursue power of his own to be a protector. in the future i also want to do a small event, maybe in a few months, to expand on the lore i've been messing with about him being a Native Hoennian! there are plots with to talk about his culture, too, and the history of the Hoyeon people! just lots of fun things!

    A Team Rocket plot I created to further the reach of the organization through acquiring Sea Mauville as an asset. I've created a number of mission prompts so far that allow for pairs of Rocket members to assist with the project, which has created opportunities for characters who haven't met to create a bond through the events. 

    I intend to end this plot with a raid for members of Team Rocket and select 'civilians' that have been folded into the project, such as which will test the strength of the organization outside of faction conflicts.  I'm hoping this allows for Team Rocket to become more close-knit in the process of generating a foothold in the western oceans of Hoenn, close to Slateport City.
