summarize 2 plots that are in-progress and being threaded:

• 1. TEAM NEBULA[break]
  The formation of Team Nebula came from a necessity of Amor needing help to do everything that he wanted to do. With his new position in Rocket, he has more duties, and responsibilities than before, and because of that less free time. It all started with Makoto Kurumi , and their ability to not vanish into thin air on him. After completing a few missions with them Amor asked them to help him with his research in A Rose in Time.
  [break][break]
  Though they were only the start as when he gained his Head Scientist position when he was moving things into his new office, it was Tempest Quinn who showed up to help him settle in. After some small talk, it was Tempest Quinn who asked Amor if he could work under him, which threw Amor for a bit of a loop as he hadn't been expecting it. But it was this interaction that solidified maybe having a close knit team wouldn't be quite so bad? So after he, and temp finish their meeting in Green Eyes, Amor stumbles across the most curious grunt, and future admin.
  [break][break]
  In A Beckoned Call Amor summons howard slayte to his office under the pretense of reprimanding for destroying his favorite cafe in Lilycove. Or at least getting it closed down temporarily. Here Amor lays down everything he knows about Howard to the man, and recruits him as the third, and final member of this new team that he is assembling. So all that's left is to get everyone in one spot.
  [break][break]
  When Supernova's Die is the first time all four of them are in the same room together. Amor explains his goals for their team to them all, listens to their input. Tempest Quinn may or may not have created special pins for everyone. This is the birth of Team Nebula (though he hasn't revealed the name IC yet). A group of people within Rocket dedicated solely to the study of Legendaries, and Avatars for the purpose of creating countermeasures against them. As Amor has faced a few Avatars face to face, he realizes that there is only so much you can get done on your own. And he aims to make the scales more balanced for those that don't possess such powers.
  [break][break]
  As this will be ongoing throughout all of my future plots it will keep popping up in the future! Special thanks to Tempest Quinn , howard slayte , and Makoto Kurumi for helping me with this!

• 2. BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR?[break]
  It is perhaps a secret that Amor's mental state isn't the greatest. Though with the calm, and often smiling demeanor he presents why would anyone think otherwise? Even Amor himself thought he was perfectly healthy until the incident at Dissemnate. With Chien Pao's influence manifestations of hate bubbled up, but Amor's was different. It was flesh, blood, and it looked exactly like him. His own worst nightmare that he had trapped beneath some unknown mental block for most of his life. When it was defeated he thought that would be the end of it, but it wasn't.
  [break][break]
  His doppleganger seemed to have the ability to take control of his body when he let his guard down such as it did during his brief fight with Eris. As the unhinged menace threatened to do irreparable harm to Amor. Until he was knocked unconcious by Amor's most trusted companion in Draco, and Eris Halla asked Mesprit to help him. Mesprit managed to seal away his alter ego, but that wasn't enough to defeat it entirely.
  [break][break]
  It appeared in a more physical form to harass both Amor, and Lulu Flint in Dream Drop Distance. Drawing on the power of Amor's own Tera Orb, and the interdream zone to manifest even it's weakened state, it chased the pair throughout the zone. Showing slight glances of Amor's life to Lulu before she used her Porygon-Z to digitize it, and turn it into data. Thinking it was just another dream, and neither of them realizing the ramifications of those actions for the future.
  [break][break]
  Amor continued on in the island, doing what he felt was needed. It was during this time that he teamed up with one of his Nebula Operatives in howard slayte . To get some Supplies from the island they were fighting over. However Amor wasn't quite himself, his body felt weak, fatigue overtook him, and he wound up needing Howards help to escape before the rampant wild pokemon overtook them. Amor didn't think much of it.
  [break][break]
  So now in the aftermath of RT he is currently meeting with Lulu Flint to talk about what transpired, as he promised to explain to her about his Shadow Self, which is where the plot currently stands in Sootopolis. What ramifications will there be for digitizing a key component of his psyche? Stay tuned!

• 3. THE TIES THAT BIND[break]
  So this is a plot just started pretty much in RT between Amor, and Yuina Higashi . Yuina is a character that has no recollection of her past, and Amor is a character that never forgets a face. While this is purely a plot between these two characters it is one that I wanted to highlight for this AC because I think Yuina is a great character, and they allowed me to play up Amor as a proper antagonist as well. What do you get when you cross a character with no memory of their past life, with someone who knows who they are? Even if only brief I am excited at the future possible threads that will come out of this plot no matter what they maybe, as they delve further into each others past, and surmount the hypocrisy that comes with a Rocket x League relationship? Friendship? Hateship? Who knows!
  [break][break]
  It all starts when Yuina unfortunately encounters Amor in the sea around the island that they are all vying for. Amor of course being who he is taunts, and flirts with her with zero remorse how it could affect her. So when the battle inevitably begins, Amor seems to have the upperhand from the get go, but as he isn't close enough to recognize her, he continues to thrash her about with his Gastrodon. It isn't until almost the very end of the fight that Amor actually catches a proper glimpse of her face, and even though their battle ends, he chooses to pursue her further in order to confirm whether its a woman from his past or not. vs Yuina
  [break][break]
  In the immediate follow up the two of them go into the sky, and it's here that Amor is actually able to see her properly thanks to his Dragonite. Though the fact that she doesn't seem to remember who she is throws him off. Her amnesia causing her to forget her real name, and everything that happened to her before Hoenn seems to perturb him a bit, and he wants to know what happened to her. So rather than fight her further, he instead retreats from the battle, and has his Porygon-Z, Jarvis, begin to research everything about her that he can find. Amor doesn't ever forget a face after all. My One Pursuit
  [break][break]
  Which brings us to the current thread where Amor by chance has bumped into her once again near a sledding ride. This provides him with an opportunity to get to know her better, and figure out just what is going on with her. Will she start to remember after seeing his face? Will he call her by her real name? Stay tuned! Ice to Meet You
  

if an avatar, summarize how you've utilized[break]the legendary/avatarship for collaborative narrative:

• 1. AVATARSHIP: LEGENDARY[break]
  Describe how your character, their avatarship and their legendary, have been used to help create a collaborative narrative on site. Helpful questions to ask are: how has your character embodied the values of their legendary? How have they developed? How have they been used as narrative tools to help push the stories of characters (non-canons and canons alike)? How have they shown weakness versus strength to provide nuanced depictions of power dynamics?

• any notes/comments:Well it's here again! Unfortunately all my kinda cool plots took place within the deadzone between the last check, and this one it feels. Mainly my Nebula stuff, buutttt! I wasn't dreading this check as much as the last despite me vanishing for a month in October due to IRL stuff. I feel a bit more prepared this time than I did last time especially since I understand what is expected this go round unlike the first check. Also I got Deoxys! Which I think I'm going to do an introspective plot on Amor, and have him question why he has it, and if he is even worthy of having it, or if declan walsh just gave it to him because he was just "there". I do think that would be a cool story to explore in the future! I'll probably have at least one more plot summary to add before the end of the check, but overall thank you for the opportunity to be canon whether I pass or fail!

• A MAN BROKEN, A MAN REBORN
  [attr="class","inner"]
  
  in order to be reborn, you must die first.
  
  [break][break] in many ways, jayden's avatarship has killed him. or at least the person that he used to be.
  
  [break][break]

  SPOILER: Click to show

  
  [break] but as he is broken down by his avatarship, another part of him begins anew. the part of him that has never wanted anything for himself, has never wanted anything that does not also further rocket's agenda. this shows in many of his battles, including the ones with Elise Calcifet and Noel Parker. jayden is an extremist bent on destroying himself for rocket. that is the price of loyalty. it's as he once told fern delaney: rocket is everything. (DEJA VU).
  
  [break][break] yet, as he explores his avatarship, jayden is finding that there is possibly more to life than surrender.
  
  [break][break] both his experiences in GOODBYE GALAR and his avatarship have changed him. being a king in goodbye galar taught him that he was capable of leading, a fact that he'd almost completely forgotten about until freya morningstar brings it back to him, full force, in SHORE.
  
  [break][break] the influence of a ruinous beast demands so much from him, in a way that is both reminiscent of his father and yet nothing like him at all. in BREAK ME APART, Cillian Quinn asks him if chien pao's avatarship is something he wants, and jayden's immediate response is almost no — that is what the old him would've said. but he doesn't say no —
  
  [break][break] he says yes.
  
  [break]
  
  

  "I want to be strong. I want to be powerful. I want —" [break][break]
  
  The thing that made people like MATIAS SILPH not remember who he was. [break][break]
  
  "It's for us. As it's always been."

  [break]
  
  in contrast to what he told Elisabeth Fiorelli in LAY ME BARE, jayden is learning to want for himself. [break][break]
  
  his newfound confidence shows in his subtle interactions with others. the way he defies THEO BECKETT in MOONBEAM, his confession to bryan delarosa in BARE NAKED, and the seriousness in which he regards Cillian Quinn in ECLIPSE.
  
  [break][break] jayden is still himself, but also he isn't.
  
  [break][break] because now, after so many years, he is learning the true meaning of power. of ambition.

• HIS LIFELINE: ROCKET RELATIONSHIPS
  [attr="class","inner"]
  
  as a rocket admin, jayden handles the offensive training sector within rocket as well as recruitment. he inherited this position from THEO BECKETT and has continued in his steed ever since.
  
  [break][break] as a true rocket loyalist, jayden's goal is to create better, more powerful rockets. he wants to help them meet their full potential, like he tried and failed to do with Isaac Merlo. in LETHAL COMPANY as they explore the submarine's dark corridors, he pushes Grigori Sokolov to consider his potential within rocket, similarly to his experience with Marza Volchitsa as shown in PINNOCHIO.
  
  [break][break] for unlike others, jayden is someone who has a personal stake in all his recruits. he takes their successes like his own, and likes to get to know them as much as he is able.
  
  [break][break]
  
  

  SPOILER: Click to show

  
  [break]
  he fosters continued relationships with his past recruits, as seen in DOUBLE INSURANCE with Kouji Matsubara and ESCAPE FROM OFFICE HELL with Gerald Kaiser, where they discuss SPECTRA.
  
  [break][break] he writes father winter's letter aside mint frost in JACK FROST and shares his inner thoughts with bryan delarosa BARE NAKED. in LOOKING DOWN, he congratulates new beast Shred Zeppelin and in THE ADMINE, he helps new admin howard slayte train his core.
  
  [break][break] one of my favorite relationships is his mentorship with Hitoshi Inoue — jayden is affectionate towards him like one might a little brother, which is showcased in TRAIN TO NOWHERE, SHAPE ME IN STEEL, their excursions to the wilds, and also their mission on ROUTE 105. however, chien pao may soon disrupt that tender peace.
  
  [break][break] he also has a good relationship with MAKI YUKIMURA, who's family ties to rocket closely resemble his own. she accompanies him on a mission in it's poaching time, and grants him a white elephant gift in rocket's annual holiday party.

  [break]
  
  each of these relationships are essential to jayden and his avatarship. they are his only lifeline — without them, he might drown under chien pao's ruinous influence.

if an avatar, summarize how you've utilized[break]the legendary/avatarship for collaborative narrative:

• CHIEN PAO AVATARSHIP: A SWORD TO RUIN
  [attr="class","inner"]
  
  jayden's relationships with avatars has always been unique. he considers them an absolute — a show of power and strength, a tool to further rocket's ambitions to the utmost potential. however, he had never considered himself someone that was fated for it. in past conversations with others, he's always said that it wasn't something that he sought for. avatarships were chosen based on matters of fate.
  
  [break][break] however, the exact conditions of jayden's own upbringing naturally leads him to that of the cursed. that is his fate.
  
  [break][break]
  

  SPOILER: Click to show

  
  [break] he was raised to be a tool of rocket, nothing more. his feelings and thoughts weren't his own, his emotions weren't his own. but when chien pao bites him, he experiences a flood of emotion — one that will never stop.
  
  [break][break] in the aftermath of disseminate (act i: recovery), jayden explores the physical changes that come with his specific avatarship, and avatarship in general. after all, avatarship is a transformation of the mind, body and soul. when chien pao sinks it's fangs into him in disseminate, his body is forced him into a state of emotional trauma so severe that it nearly kills him. he spends several days in the medbay as rocket scientists do tests on him, which is a great parallel to Elisabeth Fiorelli who refused it when it had been her turn.
  
  [break][break] in break me apart, he loses himself in front of his brother. chien pao's avatarship has altered his relationship with cillian in a way that is nearly cruel — his brother is afraid to touch him, and jayden has only ever wanted to be loved. the other threads in this saga also explore how out of control jayden is in this moment — a striking contrast to the man he used to be, who was one of the most stoic and mild-mannered men in rocket.
  
  [break][break] in a turn of events, jayden eventually breaks out of the medbay to confront Isaac Merlo and Ashley Shepard when they defect. this is a mirror of the other betrayals that jayden has witnessed that had led him to that point — the betrayal of Chu-e Choi, the betrayal of CIAN MAHER. jayden's emotions rear an ugly head when he finds out that - yet again - two of his closest friends have betrayed him. this launches him perfectly into resurfaced treasure (act ii: catalyst), where he launches into a quest to kill MATIAS SILPH.
  
  [break][break] in several of his rt threads, jayden explores the struggle of not having control over his own body and mind. if act i is his physical battle, then act ii is his mental one. chien pao is as fickle as a ruinous beast is expected to be and is absent for the majority of rt, forcing jayden to deal with the tide of his own emotions on his own. emotions that he has never felt before in such severity.
  
  [break][break] he fights several leaguers and ex-rockets, all with the full intent of killing them but also without proper control of his actions, as shown by how murderous and reckless he is. this is a good contrast to post-disseminate where he was similarly aggressive, but still had his wits about him.
  
  

  "Did you forget everything so quickly, Remiel?" [break][break]
  
  "That we were friends? That you betrayed me?" [break][break]
  
  "THIS ‎is your fault!" [break][break]
  
  — jayden cross on Remiel Calcifet

  
  
  jayden's fights with ex-rockets are as painful as they are pivotal. it showcases exactly how different his avatarship has made him, how it has turned him into the monster that his father wanted him to be. many avatarships are described as a climb to power, an ambition to reach greater heights. however in jayden's case, his avatarship is a direct result of ic consequences from other plots that have happened over time — the bonds of friendship that were formed in his time at rocket, which immediately fracture once they abandon rocket. as he tells Remiel Calcifet, this is the price of loyalty.
  
  [break][break] in act iii, which is still in progress, jayden works on adjusting to his new powers and avatarships. now that the league is aware of his rocket name, there are higher stakes at play. while he still struggles with the mental fog that comes with being controlled by a ruinous beast, he experiences moderate success as he continues his admin duties alongside these new changes. he also starts to test the limits of his avatarship powers, see how it impacts him physically, and most importantly, how to control it.
  
  [break][break] if it's even possible to control it.
  
  

  
  
  [break] all in all, jayden's avatarship is meant to be a symbolism of his own character development — of the change he experiences from going from an ambitionless man with no power... to ruinous avatar with too much power that it could quite literally kill him. in addition, jayden's particular avatarship is interesting also because it is not the typical form of a contract — he was bestowed it without his consent, forced upon it, and he is forced to deal with the aftermath.
  
  [break][break] not at all unlike his relationship with team rocket itself.
  
  [break][break] how much of jayden is intertwined with chien pao, with rocket, and most importantly — how much of himself will be left when this is all over?

summarize 2 plots that are in-progress and being threaded:

• 1. RISING SUN
  [attr="class","inner"]
  
  As Hoenn's only Head Ranger, Ollie has a lot on his shoulders. He's still in the phase of struggling emotionally with his new responsibilities, as shown in COME HOME with PENELOPE LIVY, as well as DEREK HOFFMAN and marcus kotov in RESURFACED TREASURE. ¹²
  
  That being said, he is still doing his due-diligence as making sure to fill in his roles as Head Ranger by working with other members of the League. This includes working with Councilwoman freya morningstar and Elite Four Melody Miro with their work in POKEMON HOME, helping Isaac Merlo recover the blight of Petalburg Woods, and continuing to mitigate damages made from the SILENT ICELANDS, as shown in DOMINO EFFECT with Roy Aker.
  
  [break][break] Ollie continues to build bonds with his Rangers too. This includes mentorships like his one with Yuina Higashi which starts off in excursions to THE WILDS and compiles in the start of a Ranger Arc in NEW CHAPTER; or his relationship with Shalin Nariya and her ascension to Ranger Captain, as seen in DESERT STORM. Alternatively, his continued friendship with Laurence Anderson ¹² and Genevieve Cromwell ¹²
  
  [break][break] Last but not least, a big part of Ollie's character is continuing to foster friendships - personal, not professional ones - with anyone he meets. There are more casual examples of this, like in WANNA BUILD A SNOWMAN with freya morningstar, WORTH with Noel Parker, or his explorations to the RKS with other Leaguers. Finally, and perhaps most important of all, is the LEAGUE HOLIDAY PARTY that he's organized with PENELOPE LIVY. Which is also the very first time that he's made such a public appearance with her, so obviously by her side. [break][break]

• 2. LIONHEART
  [attr="class","inner"]
  
  Ollie has always been brave, or he has always wanted to be brave. But the truth is that Ollie's a coward. He hides it all behind a mask of charisma and confidence — in reality, if there is anything Ollie is an expert at, it's running away. He ran away from Kanto. He ran away from Hoenn. He's still running away, but he can't run away any longer. His responsibilities as Head Ranger make that impossible.
  
  [break][break] In RESURFACED TREASURE, we explore this concept with Ollie as he is forced to confront the factional divide of ROCKET VS LEAGUE in his battles. In AQUA ASSEMBLY PT 4, he is one of the voices that struggles with condemning Rockets. After all, he's met plenty of good ones, starting off with Ashley Shepard in VERGE OF COLLAPSE and followed up with Kouji Matsubara and and howard slayte in RT ¹². Then again, he's also met terrible ones, like Cillian Quinn in both OBSTRUCTION and the follow-up in SHORE. THEO BECKETT challenges him to this idea in their BATTLE as well, when the Underboss asks him what makes Rockets bad.
  
  [break][break] But then there are people like Isaac Merlo, who have said time and time again, that Rockets aren't evil. Just misguided.
  
  

  "I can't just stop feeling for them. But they've got one real enemy these days, and it isn't the one we were told to fight." — Isaac Merlo

  
  
  [break] As Head Ranger and lead of the Ranger Amnesty Program, Ollie is be forced to choose between his job responsibilities and his heart in a show of conflict. He checks up on old ex-Rockets, like Rowan Wrynn in SOJURN, Caleb Harcourt in LOW TIDE, and Isaac Merlo in SOLACE. But at the same time, there are those like annalise henderson - freshly recovered from her imprisonment - who hate those Rockets with the same ferocity as anything else, as seen in threads like THE LAST WITNESS.
  
  [break][break] Surrounded by the likes of people like paxton concordas and MATIAS SILPH, who have very staunch opinions against Rocket, combined with the more nuanced opinions of people like PENELOPE LIVY and freya morningstar, this will lead Ollie down a path of discovery. What does this mean for him — and for the future of the Ranger's Amnesty Program, if their Head Ranger continues to waffle like this?

So far his research has had him cross paths with many great Rocket scientists, like Lulu Flint, oscar clayton, and kepler brueshaber. He has also managed to pries his way into a thin alliance (built on lies, of course) with people like Yuina Higashi and Laurence Anderson. Seeing how the League sides of this develops will be very interesting given Tempest's very Anti-League sentiment.[break][break]
  
  More solidly, Tempest is currently conducting a series of Interviews with most of the current Rocket Avatars (Cillian Quinn, Zev Harcourt, Naomi Sato, bryan delarosa, fern delaney, and jayden cross). He's also managed to snag an Interview-By-Accident with Laurence Anderson. I plan on finishing up these threads to try and secure an interview with Walsh so Tempest can move on to the next step of his plan: try to beat answers out of the League Avatars.[break][break]
  
  Tempest's meddling has given him a lot to chew on, but most notably his crumbling mind has led him to...

• 2. THE CURE FOR CANCER[break]
  After a failed attack on Isaac Merlo thanks to Tempest's own weak feelings and his recent hyper focus of Infinity Energy in particular, Tempest has come to form his own... opinions. Already disgusted by how people treat Legendary pokemon like Gods and are so willing to throw themselves at the creature's feet for power, that coupled with the obsessive nature of his personality have morphed into something above him.
  [break][break]
  Avatarships are cancer. The DRK Triad is right. It's just the execution they're wrong about. What's the point in murdering the Avatar when the Legendary could just pick another person to poison? They need to stop focusing on killing Avatars and focus more on killing the Legendaries themselves.
  [break][break]
  Tempest's crumbling mental faculties will eventually push him deeper into Rocket's clutches than he already is; so far Hyakkaryōran Tsubaki and Michael Navidson have been marked for 'A Proper Death', with surely many more who impress his twisted sensibilities to follow.
  [break][break]
  While this plot may seem very Avatar or Legendary centric on the surface, I hope that as I delve deeper into it to seed conflict and aggression. Both with the League, with the setting itself, and even within Rocket. The wool that so few people have seen through will eventually be ripped away and I am very excited for that prospective future.
  [break][break]
  Of course, as his husband, Cillian Quinn is safe from these insane ramblings... but that may prove to be a curse in time.

• 2.5 BONUS FEATURES[break]
  WAR - Tempest will continue to be a thorn in the League's side, which ORACELIES SOLAR is one of the more recent people to discover. His showing during RT is his IC reason for his reason for his promotion, which people like Josh Devlin, Genevieve Cromwell, Thomas Benoit, ollie morales, Nikita Sokolov, Remiel Calcifet, and a few tagged above found out first hand. If you're reading this and you're a Leaguer who needs someone to cause trouble in a thread, reach out! I'm always down!
  [break][break]
  PEACE - Even if it's not his official position anymore, Tempest is always down to train or do what he can to help out others in Rocket. The more stable the bottom of the pyramid, the longer the top stays up in his eyes. Be it helping out with more physical stuff like training or helping research harder topics (like with Xenon Antheil), if you need a hard fist or curious mind he's a safe bet. Just... experiences may vary.
  [break][break]
  CYBER - I've heard much pleading for a 3-way cyber between Tempest and Cillian Quinn. If you would be interested in this position, please click HERE for more info.

  As UNDERBOSS, I tend to focus on Cillian's role of keeping people in line. He specializes in taking out the trash traitors and keeping potential defectors afraid and uncertain. This is showcased recently in BLEED YOU DRY, where he follows up on a tip that soyeon kwan had potentially met with Callan Young without Rocket's knowledge. By forcing her to commit murder in Rocket's name, he'll both incriminate her to dissuade future collaboration with the government, and also repeat the cycle of abuse that he himself was put through in his early days of Rocket.[break][break]
  
  He also challenges Zev Harcourt about his loyalties to Rocket post-avatarship with Necrozma in MIDNIGHT MASS, and talks with Hitoshi Inoue about loyalty and Rocket in WALK YOUR DOG.

• 2. SHADOW RESEARCH[break]
  As the self-proclaimed Shadow Pokemon specialist, he's the go-to for anyone struggling with their own. In FLUX, schuyler tate approaches him about a shadow recently acquired through DDD, and a battle ensues to explore its newfound power. I also have a similar thread with Alba Evovae, though it's still in its early stages.[break][break]
  
  Also tied to his desire to understand shadows and the reason behind their creation, Kaname Fujihara is overseeing his stupid decision to dose himself with Nihilego poison in POOR MAN'S POISON.

• 1. AVATARSHIP: LUGIA[break]
  In terms of weakness, I've lately been exploring how Cillian's feelings of self-worth are linked with his reverence of avatarship. In his INTERVIEW with Temp, he puts his feelings about avatarship into his own words.[break][break]
  
  In the recently-concluded Resurfaced Treasure, I had a lot of fun battling all sorts of different characters with varying degrees of experience, and showcasing how avatarship doesn't make him immortal, even if it does give him benefits. He sustained injuries in his battles against Navy and Doug, and got knocked into the water by Tsubaki, with his fear of drowning crippling him long enough for her to make an escape.[break][break]
  
  I continue to use Lugia and Cillian's avatar powers to make Cillian a Threat. His shadow powers give him such a malevolent ambience even when he's just standing in a corner brooding and I love them for that.[break][break]
  
  He's also become aware that Sea!Hoenn is after Lugia thanks to illeana reyes. Both he and Lugia are not happy about this news.

• 1. THE VISIONARY'S BURDEN[break]
  
  YOU ARE WORTHY, NAOMI SATO. NOW YOU CANNOT UNSEE THE BEGINNING, AND TOGETHER, WE WILL SEE TO THE END.
  
  Ever since becoming the Avatar of the Unown, Nomi has come to believe that she is responsible for preventing the apocalypse. Nisa Holo did not want her to become The Visionary, but the Unown chose her anyway: Nomi interpreted this to mean that her new powers (the gifts of the Unown) ought to be used in opposition to the DRK Triad, first and foremost. After all, Kallistatus, the shiny Unown-K, switched sides when given the choice - choosing Nomi over Holo.[break][break]
  
  Unable to "unsee" the "bigger picture" now - a war that will be waged on a cosmic scale in the very near future - Nomi feels an incredible sense of urgency to recruit all of Hoenn's most powerful Avatars, political leaders, and Pokemon trainers to the cause of defending Hoenn against the DRK Triad and their destructive agenda.[break][break]
  
  Nomi now views the ongoing faction conflict between Rocket and League as a waste of time, resources, and valuable lives (human and Pokemon alike). She believes that everyone ought to turn their energy towards the "real war" (DRK Triad vs Hoenn) rather than squabble amongst themselves. Therefore, when the mysterious island off the coast of Dewford drew League and Rocket forces like a magnet, Nomi not only jumped at the opportunity to practice her new powers with her Rocket peers (most notably with Cillian Quinn, BARNABY FINCH, marcus kotov, and Aurelie Lefevre), but use them to recruit powerful members of the League to her cause.[break][break]
  
  The "Visionary's Warning" reached several members of the League (most notably: Michael Navidson, lam logan, Isaac Merlo, and Greyson Connors), with varying results. In addition to revealing her Avatarship to the League, she also outed her "true identity" to illeana reyes - trusting the other woman to be willing to collaborate with her in secret, understanding the gravity of the grim future they will face if they do nothing to oppose the DRK Triad.[break][break]
  
  Now Nomi must grapple with whether or not the League and Rocket will be willing to set aside their differences to focus on the DRK Triad, shouldering the burden of prophecy as the year ends...[break][break]

• 2. ALL PATHS LEAD TO GOD[break]
  Ever since the creation of the RKS Machine, Nomi has been intent on finding Arceus. She not only believes that Arceus is the key to stopping the apocalypse heralded by the DRK Triad (see related plot above), but is also the key to understanding the interconnected nature of Hoenn's various anomalies (such as the connection point between Terastallization and the Interdream Zone).[break][break]
  
  Inspired by the inexplicable "dream of Galar" she ended up in after the conflict at the Ancient Tomb, Nomi has begun to turn her scientific attention towards interdimensional travel. Already familiar with the Unown Dimension, Nomi hopes to learn even more about the nature of space-time distortions, as well as the various rifts she and her Rocket peers have been exploring over the past year (Ultra Deep Sea, Lesser Megalopolis, etc). The more paths she can travel through, the more likely she will be to find the one that leads to Arceus (...perhaps all of them do...)[break][break]
  
  Nomi continues to leverage both her position as a Rocket Head Scientist and her position as a PhD student at Slateport University to aid her search for Arceus, leaving no stone unturned in her scientific studies, intent on taking advantage of Rocket and League resources alike to advance her understanding of interdimensional travel.[break][break]

if an avatar, summarize how you've utilized[break]the legendary/avatarship for collaborative narrative:

• 1. AVATARSHIP: THE VISIONARY (UNOWN)[break]
  The Unown are inextricably tied to the DRK Triad, as made clearly evident by the overarching siteplot. Because of that, and despite the fact that the Unown Avatar is technically Rocket-aligned, I have chosen to pursue a very collaborative and (hopefully!) intriguing narrative involving both the League and Rocket (as well as canons and non-canons alike).[break][break]
  
  I am doing this by honing in on the "bigger picture" war between Hoenn and the DRK Triad, and having Nomi set aside the League/Rocket faction conflict in favor of dealing with the region's "true enemy" (this focus is both IC for Nomi and OOC of interest to me, her writer). This is not a defection plot by any means - Nomi is very loyal to her Rocket found family - but rather, an exploration into the "necessity of neutrality" when facing down an impending apocalypse.[break][break]
  
  I write the Unown as very "biblically accurate", in terms of their connection to Arceus: I see them as the oldest living beings, having been present at the moment of creation (the birth of the universe). I am extremely fond of their spiritual motifs and religious symbology - as the "eyes of God", most notably - so I am excited to be exploring a prophetic role for Nomi, their Avatar (The Visionary is a title that aligns well with the oracle/prophecy/divine messenger themes). As I am exploring her relationship with the Unown, I am constantly attempting to show the somewhat contradictory dichotomy between the Unown as impartial observers of humanity's various struggles over the centuries and the Unown as having chosen Nomi precisely because she loves them (a very human concept, and not impartial in the least).[break][break]
  
  I see Nomi's Avatarship as an amazing narrative opportunity to pursue unexpected alliances (ex: between League Head Scientist illeana reyes and Rocket Head Scientist Nomi) as well as unexpected conflicts (ex: between Rockets who disagree with Nomi that her "save the world" agenda is more important than the ongoing conflict with the League). In addition, her Avatarship and "greater purpose" as Hoenn's savior goes so far as to affect Nomi's personal life / interpersonal relationships (ex: creating wonderful drama and character growth opportunities between her and her girlfriend parker jones).[break][break]
  
  I'm really excited to continue unraveling the mysteries of the Unown, and facilitating more and more characters (across the site, canons and non-canons alike) getting to experience unique and narratively impactful moments such as visiting the Unown Dimension.

• any notes/comments:[break]
  Truly blessed to be trusted with writing the Pokemon universe's biblically accurate angels a.k.a the eyes of God ♡ [break][break]
  But in all seriousness, thanks for writing with me, everyone! You all make me a better writer and a better person and I'm so happy to be here!

  Further integration and exploration of Cian as Rustboro's gym leader.[break][break]
  
  His main goal at the moment is to work toward improving the quality of life in Rustboro and to ensure that its citizens are safe from any external threats that may threaten them in the future. This beat is explored in BULBOUS with Michael Navidson which is a follow-up to conversations on DYNAMAX within GYM LEADER GC.[break][break]
  
  His secondary goal is to continue to guide Rustboro's (and Hoenn's by extension) future generation of trainers. He does this via THE WEATHER GYM along with any trainers he may meet in the wild (CROSSROADS with zata nefertum). To help his efforts, he is also in the process of hiring two gym trainers which are currently being threaded out in AND WE RUN with Megan Whitmore and SOMETHING LOUD with Zahra Poetri.

• 2. SOME BROTHER YOU ARE[break]
  Exploration of relationship and dynamic changes due to his defection from Team Rocket.[break][break]
  
  The main aspects of it are explored with his brothers as shown in AMENDS with boruta maher and TWIN with caden maher. There, Cian realizes his lack of guilt might be concerning considering how Bo had to retire and go into hiding and Caden had to face punishment himself from Team Rocket.[break][break]
  
  Another touchpoint is in GIRL WITH ONE EYE with giada morgan as he is met with her loss of an eye all because of her defection, which is something he had pushed for. And one more in HEY, BESTIE with jayden cross (ex-roomie and bestie).

  As a member of the Elite Four, Greyson's duties are a wide expanse. This ranges from anything to being a dominant force on the battlefield, training new recruits, providing oversight on missions or otherwise, making recommendations to higher-authorities, and so much more. As the most recent addition to the Elite Four (at the time of writing this), he's done his best to cement himself as worthy of the position.
  [break][break]
  In the same vein, he also wishes to elevate those around him to these heights, as noted by his budding friendship with lam logan and his desire to see the Gym-Leader as a future member of A.Q.U.A. The two have bonded over the course of multiple threads, to include RT and RKS events, where the other man has impressed Greyson. This will be further explored as they face off against Kyogre, allowing Greyson to show the man the full breadth of responsibility a member of A.Q.U.A faces.[break][break]
  
  On the more personal side of his League responsibilities, we see Dahlia has entrusted himself and willow atkins with the nurturing of the League's new Dynamax material -- Max Honey. This inevitably leads to a Shadow Vespiquen raiding the hives and 'infecting' one of the samples, which may or may not benefit the League going forward.[break][break]

• 2. Wrath[break]
  Well before the events of Annalise's kidnapping, and subsequent rescue, Greyson has harbored an underlying resentment for members of Team Rocket. The latest events have only exacerbated that anger -- that hatred -- and many of Greyson's threads see him dealing with that influx of emotion.
  [break][break]
  Furthermore, now that he's a high-ranking member of the League's hierarchy, he's submitted himself (unknowingly) to its political divides. Here he explores his own sense of morals and lays them to bare against his co-workers, and superiors, and doesn't exactly like what he finds.
  [break][break]
  This all, combined with his position as a member of the Elite Four, puts him in positions where he must balance his own personal resentments with his professionalism, and what is overall best for the region.[break][break]

• 1. GOODBYE, GALAR THEO[break]
  Unraveling of Goodbye Galar developments will eventually lead to Theo's demise and fortification of his position within Team Rocket.[break][break]
  
  After returning to Hoenn following the events of Goodbye Galar, Theo struggled to find his place again, often feeling lost, distant, and apathetic. This was first explored in WHEN THE SHADOWS REACH BACK with Elisabeth Fiorelli and fleshed out during the events of Resurfaced Treasures.[break][break]
  
  Some RT threads to feature are SECRET: TM with marcus kotov, FLEEZ with lam logan, and SKY: KYLE & THEO with kyle lopez.[break][break]
  
  But as he has started to forget the events of Goodbye Galar, as first suggested in THINGS WE LOST IN THE GLACIATE with Andrea Vaneau, he has turned to what is most familiar and what he knows best. Since then, he has recommitted himself to Team Rocket and their cause, shifting perspectives and his goals to align with theirs once again.[break][break]
  
  Additionally, a big part of why he has been able to make such a shift is due to the ruinous feelings of HATRED and GRUDGES he has felt from both jayden cross and Elisabeth Fiorelli. The intensity feels intoxicating, and for someone who has spent the majority of his life not feeling, suppressing every emotion and desire in order to survive, it should come as no surprise that he wants more.[break][break]
  
  This beat is explored in WHEN THE SHADOWS REACH BACK with Elisabeth Fiorelli, and more recently in MOONBEAM with jayden cross. It will continue to be explored with the help of both our ruinous writers (thank you!), starting with RUINS with jayden cross.

• 2. MICHAEL BUBLE - SWAY[break]
  Maintaining relationships with League-affiliated individuals in hopes of swaying them or manipulating them for his own benefit.[break][break]
  
  Theo has always been cordial with most he meets which seems to contrast against what one might expect from an underboss. This has allowed him to form baseline friendships/acquaintanceships which could then spring into something more.[break][break]
  
  illeana reyes: following her brief stint of being locked up in Rocket cells, he has since tried to continue manipulating her toward Team Rocket, or at the very least against the League. This is first explored in WATCH, and followed up during RT in SEA: THEO & ILLEANA.[break][break]
  
  Andrea Vaneau: perhaps the most gentle and unexpected of Theo's friendships, he has come to see Andrea as close to a friend as he could. During Postdormitum, he warned her against joining the battle as featured in CAVE: AT. In THINGS WE LOST IN THE GLACIATE, they discuss the aftermath of that and what it means exactly for the future. Could there ever be peace in the region?[break][break]
  
  Shalin Nariya: having gone on multiple duo wilds and adventures together, the two have formed a friendship over their adoration for nature. But not all things are meant to be, and eventually, their affiliations will lead to conflict. This is first explored in SHORE: SHALIN AND THEO, and followed up in HOW YOU REMIND ME.

• it's john cena - 11/25
• poyo - 12/6
• little guy or big guy - 12/9
• tether - 12/14

summarize 2 plots that are in-progress and being threaded:

• 1. SITUATING OTHERS IN THE SETTING[break]
  Noah continues to act as a foil for others in Hoenn in order to contribute to a breathing, living world. He helps to define other characters' strengths, weaknesses, and motivations. For example, he explores Noel Parker's ambition to become Top Champion and contributes to Gwendolyn Conway's growth as a Pokemon Ranger.[break][break]
  
  Furthermore, Noah highlights Moss's disconnected, homeless station in the world. With Aubre McKenna-Settentrione, the gym leader grants her chance to showcase her expertise with Pokemon medicine.[break][break]
  
  Throughout these new encounters, Noah has realized how much he has acclimated himself to Hoenn's trials and tribulations. As an immigrant/refugee twice-removed from Kanto and Johto, Noah has acknowledged how far he has grown past his own anxieties—although they still remain—and seeks to dispel those worries for others.

• 2. GYM LEADING[break]
  Noah does not seek further progression to his career. Rather, he finds his consistent presence within the gym leader circuit as a way to maintain the League's standards. In other words, he trusts himself to be an ever present pillar among his colleagues.[break][break]
  
  His gym leader status is used to connect with other capable fighters, such as Finnegan Yang. Lately, he has been challenged by other gym leaders such as lam logan and Michael Navidson. In each of these battles, Noah intends to test their capabilities and worthiness to represent the League. In the case of the latter, Noah hopes the man surpasses him in order to perform even greater deeds for the safety of the region.[break][break]
  
  However, he is currently battling Elise Calcifet, the Galarian Ambassador. Sharing the commonality of having come from a different region, Noah seeks to toughen the royal up so that she can be safer when confronting the perils of Hoenn.

• a nibble (november 5)
• league faction race (november 12)
• disaster prevention (november 17)
• battle: lars vs cillian (november 20)
• sea: lars vs kouji (november 29)
• one on one (december 5)

summarize how you've utilized[break]the avatarship for collaborative narrative:

• 1. AVATARSHIP: ARTICUNO[break]
  It’s been a year to the day ever since the inside of his head had gone silent, and Lars is more desperate than ever for answers when it comes to why his patron deity, the Iceborne Mirage, had just gone ‘cold’ (in more ways than one); which has resulted in a ‘disconnect’ between the two.[break][break]
  
  He’s tried looking for answers himself, however in the more recent times that he’d ventured down to the depths of Shoal Cave with ollie morales and with little Josh Devlin) things are about to get to the breaking point.[break][break]
  
  After asking Michael Navidson and Melody Miro for help, it’s time to get to the bottom of everything once and for all, all things considered—since his attempts at ‘diplomacy’ as well as ‘approaching the problem from other angles’ (at least according to him) did not work at all.[break][break]
  
  Things are finally coming to a head when he approaches the Commissioner dahlia goode herself for help regarding his little problem—although he has much to say with the way things are handled, he has no other choice but to go with the flow.[break][break]
  
  During RT, most of his fights had ended in draws:[break]
  
  [attr="class","ynospace"]

  • sea: lars vs kouji (with Kouji Matsubara)
  • sea: lars vs mint (with mint frost)
  • shore: lars vs shred (with Shred Zeppelin)
  • battle: lars vs cillian (with Cillian Quinn)
  • sky: lars vs theo (with THEO BECKETT)

  [break]
  
  Throughout most of these battles, the shift between reliance on one’s Avatar powers and relying on what human skills and knowledge shows has vastly changed his outlook when it comes to meeting Team Rocket out in the field of battle; in fact he took it upon himself as a ‘personal challenge’ to get through as many encounters as possible without relying so much on his Avatar powers.[break][break]
  
  Although there are some (like in this battle with Amor Rose) who presume that the Iceborne Mirage is no longer fighting on his side. However in Lars’s point of view, he sees this as a chance to see how much he can really do; as well as how far he can go, without relying too much on Articuno’s powers.[break][break]
  
  Up until the time Meteno happened, he’d been leaning a little too much on his patron for guidance as well as a secondary ‘opinion’ on how to deal with things (this was very evident with the way the two would banter back and forth about pretty much everything).[break][break]
  
  After Meteno, though, Lars had been left without a guide, without the direction and it’s been more obvious with how he’d handled himself in RT recently—having been forced to fight without relying too much on his patron’s powers; it’s been a literal ‘back to basics’ thing that happened and relearning a lot of things from the ground up.[break][break]
  
  I’m looking forward to working through this rocky relationship between humans and legendary Pokémon. After all, though bonds between avatars and their legendaries are strong—they are not always perfect.[break][break]
  
  And in Lars’s case, it will be fun to be able to write through how he can reconcile this with himself and also with Articuno, as well as changing how others may view these types of bonds.[break][break]
  
  On the lighter side of things: now that Lars no longer has the pressure of a title to adhere to (see: he is no longer Head Ranger), this gives him more leeway to pursue lost connections (with Andrea Vaneau here), as well as to nurture new ones with fellow Rangers (with Gwendolyn Conway here, with emmett brookes here & here, with Elise Calcifet here, with Shalin Nariya here & here).[break][break]
  

• any notes/comments: okay, so I was in the middle of moving out to the apartment while this all went down, which is why most of what I have put here is from the RT event versus Team Rocket; along with some others scattered across the time from before and after RT had ended. come what may, I’ve done as much as I can; I look forward to how things will develop moving forward. who knows, maybe the snarky one will come back sooner rather than later… depending on how the dice fall.

4 ic posts for canon characters:

[attr="class","ynospace"]

• NOT MEANT TO BE - Late November
• Lesser Megalopolis - Early November
• RESTORATION v1 - Early December
• League Holiday Party - Mid December

summarize 2 plots that are in-progress and being threaded:

• 1. Energies of Hoenn[break][break]
  True to her job description, Eva continues to pursue knowledge on the energies of Hoenn in hopes of a better understanding of why their ethereal borders are so unstable. She works closely alongside illeana reyes to obtain a better understanding of the world around them. She accomplishes this through excursion through the anomalies of THE WILDS and the collection of Curios to study. The influx of data to crunch has her on the prowl for a new lab assistant. She's taking applications :cmere:.
  

[break][break]
RELEVENT THREADS:

• Excursion #1
• Excursion #2
• Excursion #3
• Excursion #4
• RKS/Curios
• PRIMAL

• 2. Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding[break][break]
  
  Time and time again, Eva is forced to confront her strong feelings about Rocket. The idea of compromise started to blossom after her connection with Rayquaza was solidified. After being crucified at the AQUA Assembly for suggesting a temporary alliance to defend Hoenn, the notions died. The influence of Rayquaza has pushed her to come to terms with the fact that the factions may need each other to survive whatever it is that threatens Hoenn. Rayquaza does not see factions: they only see the preservation of Hoenn. They see threats to Hoenn's survival int he DRK Triad, the Ruination pokemon, and deterioration of Hoenn's ethereal borders. There will come a time where they need to defend Hoenn as one as set aside their differences.
  

[break][break]

Most relevant thread in this timeframe: WorldMakers

if an avatar, summarize how you've utilized[break]the legendary/avatarship for collaborative narrative:

• 1. AVATARSHIP: RAYQUAZA[break][break]
  
  There is still a cold distance between legendary and avatar. Their aspirations are aligned, but the manor of achieving those goals is quite different. Rayquaza rules with an iron fist, while Eva sees peace as a product of love. They continue to explore each other's motives and means of accomplishing their shared goals. At times, they butt heads. On other matters, they are in sync. Regardless, they strive to bring peace and protect Hoenn from the darkness that threatens them.[break][break]
  
  KYOGER - True to their nature, they can not ignore the calling to submit the rampaging beast to their will. Rayquaza teams up with Hoennians to try and calm Kyogre and to also protect them from their wrath. It is their duty.[break]
  DEICIDE - Eva, freya morningstar, and PENELOPE LIVY venture out in hopes of calming or capturing Kyogre.[break]
  From Hell's Heart I stab at Thee - Rayquaza teams up with Andrea Vaneau to stave off Kyogre's tantrum[break]
  Fathom - Eva and Rayquaza team up with Eris Halla to try and calm Kyogre's latest rampage.
  [break][break]
  
  RESTORATION - The secrets to unlocking their full potential lies somewhere in the maze that is the SKY PILLAR. They'll need all of their power to defend Hoenn from the many threats that surround them.[break]
  RESTORATION v1 - The start of something great - more to come!

any notes/comments:[break]

• My unexpected IRL-driven hiatus put a damper on my posting for a while. It stalled some in progress plots that are just starting to blossom once more. I apologize for the lack of depth due to this. Most plots are very Rayquaza driven so the majority is laced into the 'avatar' section.
• As always, anyone can check in on Eva's progress as well as current 'wants' for threads in The Scientific Method. This also contains plot points for Rayquaza. DM's are always open ^_^
