Field (Late Night) - Pokémon Legends: Arceus

[attr="class","info"]

IC EXPOSITION



NEW, LOCAL RUMORS SPEAK OF A TWISTED CREATURE that roams the swamps of Hoenn. Though the Pokemon is too swift to capture an image of, it has been described as monstrous, mangled, and muddy. Each sighting of the creature is accompanied with the discovery of a body, presumably a victim of the Pokemon's bloodlust...[break][break]

Local organizations, both Ranger and Officer-affiliated, have offered generous rewards for the capturing of this violent Pokemon. Many have launched their personal investigations into Hoenn's swamps to no avail. Instead, any hunt has resulted in the discovery of chewed out bodies: sometimes even Pokemon.[break][break]

However, after much discussion in online circles, many believe the NEXT BLOOD MOON FORECASTED FOR THE END OF SEPTEMBER will create the best conditions for the cryptid's next sighting. After all, the bloodthirsty beast was first spotted during a total lunar eclipse...[break][break]

Uncover the mystery and bring whatever is responsible to justice. Only Arceus knows how this case will resolve?


[attr="class","info"]

OOC EXPLANATION



THIS IS A RAID EVENT where characters post every round, attempting actions and/or responding to prompts or scenarios present within provided MODERATOR POSTS. Oftentimes, characters must make use of the ROLL command, which can determine the success of actions and/or create narrative tension.



This event is NOT DEATH-ENABLED, but ICly, the "risk of death and danger" will become very apparent. In other words, the IC-stakes of the event will place the characters in certain peril. Regardless, players can collaborate with me if they would like to craft dramatic moments like sacrifices, if it is able to be integrated into the event well.[break][break]

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to take advantage of this event to connect with new characters and to step out of your comfort zones. These events often act as a springboard for a variety of plots in its aftermath, with consequences that impact the wider site narrative and/or setting.[break][break]

Do note that this is NOT A ROCKET VS LEAGUE faction-based event.


RULES



PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES.


  • only PLAYERS WITH NO CANON/AVATAR CHARACTERS can participate.
  • [break]
  • only ONE of your characters can participate.
  • [break]
  • only THREE PKMN MAX can be brought into this event (subject to change).
  • [break]
  • please provide a tl;dr &/or bold moves/abilities/items used with each post.
  • [break]
  • i will not tolerate complaints about not being mentioned, tagged, acknowledged or feeling "useless" in a raid. generally, i attempt to mention all characters and their actions in each post, but depending on the number of participants, this may not be feasible.
  • [break]
  • remember that although i am essentially the DUNGEON MASTER or GAME MASTER of this event, much of this event's enjoyment and storytelling rests upon the players shoulders. collaborate with what i provide in each moderator post and each other for the best result!
  • [break]
  • lastly, be cognizant of participating players and characters. no one is the "main character" of an event, and allowing space for give-and-take between characters and their actions is highly encouraged.
  • [break]
  • more rules may be specified in the actual event thread.
  • [break]

WHAT IS THE IC REASON FOR YOUR CHARACTER'S PARTICIPATION?: The decision may be reckless and shrouded by blind ambition, but Yuina always feels compelled that she has to take on these tasks to make up for... Something? She's either filling in an otherwise empty life because she has no life before this, or feels like there's something that she has to make up for, but she's never been quite sure which feeling is more prominent. But also, something about going out to hunt a specific target feels vaguely and oh so faintly... Familiar? No... It can't be familiar, maybe at least interesting.

CHARACTER: [break]
WHAT IS THE IC REASON FOR YOUR CHARACTER'S PARTICIPATION?: Desiree wonders if this rumored monstrous and raging pokemon hidden within the forest is perhaps under the influence of some kind of strange, psychological natural phenomenon- something that if researched properly could prove useful within her independent hobby of studying hallucinogens. Additionally, the threat of those wandering into the forest is worrying. She wishes to help in any way she can to ensure that no additional bodies of people or pokemon turn up on the outskirts of the treeline, even if it is quite unsafe for a curious civilian.[break]

WHAT IS THE IC REASON FOR YOUR CHARACTER'S PARTICIPATION?: Ranger intel is something he acts upon on the regular, as it has rewarded Derek in the past. (2nd Registeel "encounter" in Ranger Raid Redux: 2B, etc). Responsibly present to ensure the smallest extent(?) of collateral/etc damage to the people and property of Hoenn. Eager to discern the "identity" (species) of this muddied creature that plagues the region.
