IC EXPOSITION

AS THE WAR SPIRALS TOWARDS RUINATION, BOTH SIDES SEEK POWER. In early November, a SPECTRA strike force overseen by Beast Hitoshi Inoue ventures out into the Ultra Crater. Their goal: fight their way through swarms of vicious Kartana and Celesteela. Confront Tapu Bulu, secure the moon flute, and earn the allegiance of Lunala by any means necessary.[break][break]
As Rocket’s finest enter the Ultra Crater, they quickly realize they are not the only ones seeking the allegiance of the moone pokemon…

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.

RAID EXAMPLE 1[break]
RAID EXAMPLE 2[break]
RAID EXAMPLE 3

This event is DEATH-ENABLED, though that risk is low. Generally, so long as characters follow common sense, the likelihood of a Pokemon dying is negligible.[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.

[attr="class","ynospace"]

• only PLAYERS WITH NO CANON CHARACTERS can participate.
• only ONE of your characters can participate.
• SIX PKMN MAX can be brought into this event (subject to change).
• please provide a tl;dr &/or bold moves/abilities/items used with each post.
• Rounds will typically last 4-5 days, although there will be a grace period during Thanksgiving week.
• 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.
• 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!
• 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.
• more rules may be specified in the actual event thread.
