| Bubbles making such beautiful things♥- Event Rules and Information:
- Hardcore Events wrote:
- Hardcore Events
Hardcore events are a sampling of all the Roleplaying Section has to offer: profile approvals, live-chat sessions, dungeon crawler game elements, and a one-month time limit to complete the story or get a bad ending.
- Duration:
One month exactly, unless a problem arises with the host, in which case the event will be extended for the number of days the host was absent. If the storyline is not resolved within a month's time, the mission fails.
- General Rules:
All roleplay rules and gc rules apply Activity Rule: Participants are required to post within 24-48 hours or will be removed from the event (their characters will either be lost or replaced). Random Events may be introduced into the story if all players are active within the OOC chat or on the boards; Random Events are storyline plot events in which players will have a limited time to respond before consequences are enacted; each will come with a caveat in that if you cannot respond within the given time-frame, you may request another player's character take your character with them (if movement is required). Consistency Rule: All players are held to the understanding that they will pay attention to the story flow, taking note of roleplay elements (situational - who's talking to who, where people are located, etc) and event elements (their HP, MP, the placement of others on the map, etc.). If a player derails the event with inconsistencies, consequences will occur.
- Requirements:
Character Profile - Participants are required to have their character's profile submitted and approved before the event begins. *Advanced Hardcore Events require advanced character profiles. Word Requirement - Advanced Hardcore Events require minimum 100-word posts.
- Additional Elements:
Real Time RP - some Hardcore Events will have real-time rp sessions to start, end, or move the story along. Participants are required to have a skype account for these live-chat events if they don't want their character NPC'd through those instances. Dungeon Crawler - some Hardcore Events will have dungeon-crawler game elements to them, wherein players will need to distribute attribute points to reflect their characters strengths, weaknesses, and special abilities, and will need to prescribe MP requirements to attacks. During these events, they will be at the mercy of random number generators (digital Dungeons and Dragons style die) for attacks and defense rolls to minimize godmodding and/or powerplaying. Certain Events officially happen within the Galaxy Cauldron's Crystal Tokyo Timeline and so can be added to character's histories, instead of just their Storyline Information sections. Participating in these events, whether playing an original character or a canon character, can have consequences within this timeline we're creating together - characters can become famous, can make enemies and allies, and can, through storyline events, grow and develop as characters and let that development follow them through the overarching plot. The current Otaku-inclusive event train is as follows:
Conscription -> Conviction -> Conflagration -> ConsecrationNote, therefore, that choices have consequences in these games. Characters can die in these events if their HP goes less than 0 (in some circumstances), and therefore will not be allowed back into the chain after that event, and players who set stories in their character's 'future' may stipulate that a 'dead' character not participate because in their character's canon, that character is dead. This does not happen often. - On Character Knock-Out:
How to be Knocked-Out in an HC Event: -Be attacked for more damage than you have health for any HP level higher than 3 HP. See below for 3 HP or less. --Additional: if your character is knocked out, they lose their transformation. It takes 5 MP to transform again. -Note: There are items in the Fate Exchange (the Crone's Blessing; the Crone's Nod) that can be used (either instantly or after battle) by the character or another party member to revive a character from being Knocked Out; otherwise characters will be relying on the Revive magical ability from another ally. -Time IRL will not revive a KO character. The only time a KO character will be revived with waiting would be if over 6 hours of in-game time has passed or it is the end of the Event and the Crone is involved. --I do not intend to change the time rule so long as player characters have the ability to reverse KO for a cost, as it brings another level of character interaction into play; the option to revive or not to revive (yeah, it is their character playing god) is an interesting consideration for character development, as are the consequences that are the reactions of other characters involved – not only the unconscious person, but other team members. The potential bonding or conflict caused by such decisions is welcome in an otherwise primarily characters-versus-environment setting.
- On Character Death:
How to die in an HC Event: -Be attacked when you have less than 3 HP for greater than 3 points of damage. If you had 4 or more HP and were struck by an attack for 5+ DMG, you will be reduced to zero and knocked out; If you have 3 or less HP and are struck by an attack of 4+, your character can die. If you are KO and are struck with an additional attack, your character can die. --Additional: if your character is knocked out, they lose their transformation. It takes 5 MP to transform again. -Note: There is an item in the Fate Exchange for 100 points (the Crone's Stamp) that, when faced with the death-dealing blow, will teleport your character back to their home planet at the very last second, sparing them from death but ejecting them from the event.
What happens when your character dies in an HC Event: When killed in the KO state, characters will die immediately if attacked while knocked out. If they have under 3 HP when attacked and killed, they can post a death post as their character is conscious and can react to their own death.
In the event of a character death in a HC event, the character cannot be involved in any future HC Event because in this timeline, they are dead. Similarly, if other characters who adhere to this universe set a roleplay after that HC event, time-wise, they can stipulate that 'dead' characters do not play as they have accepted that character's death into their history. This isn't a set-in-stone, no-exceptions rule that must be followed - it is optional for the storyline creator, but players of dead characters should not take offense to that character being excluded as the death was adopted into other characters' storylines and players are expected to adhere to character profile information in all non-AU storylines.
Why include Character Death as an option in Hardcore Events? Character death is never a near certainty unless a character actively puts themselves into that situation. It either takes a lot of terrible choices or a lot of bad luck for a character to be Knocked Out, let alone die, as the characters are to be functioning as a team and, if relationships are fostered, willing to protect each other and help each other out.
The chance of dying stresses the need of teamwork within the group, of forging relationship with between characters who would rush to a character’s aide or leap forward to protect them when put in a position wherein death is possible; as death would not come suddenly (though being knocked unconscious may), there will always be a possibility for a character’s friend or ally to step forward to save them before it's too late. As to why a player would risk a character they have put much time and effort into in a game wherein their character would die, I would return why not? No risk, no reward – no guts, no glory. With the statement above about how hard it actually is to get KO’d (let alone die), putting that on the table just ups the anti during battle sequences. And beyond that, what is the risk? If a player would rather not have their character play in these events where the character could die and the consequence would be that that character could no longer play in those events, you’re already “killing” your character without letting them go out with a bang or affect the lives of their teammates in their passing – they would simply fade away from the story, as opposed to living and fighting alongside them, making friends and deepening relationships, perhaps to eventually die dramatically and be remembered by these characters for events to come. If you’re going to go out, go out with a bang, rather than a whimper.
- You know the drill, but in case you forgot:
Specifics for the Concatenation HC Event Series:
- These events will be considered primarily Advanced*****. This is different from usual - pay attention. You should strive to follow the 100-word post count requirements of an Advanced board (attempting proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation are necessary), and your character profile needs to be approved as Advanced for this event. Players may ignore the 100-word post rule only during battle sequences, to keep the battle flowing quickly in regards to play time. When tallying posts during this event, your post will be counted as either relaxed or advanced based on word count, rather than on profile category. As profiles are required, posts are tallied in the full fashion, rather than the usual 1/2 count for non-profile-required events.
- This Event is Roleplay Section Multifaceted: There will be elements from all sections of our roleplay boards within it; it will last for exactly one month (Event), requires a profile approval (Profiles), posts can be counted towards the month's challenge or contest (Challege), and will involve Dungeon Crawler Elements (Games) as well as live-events over Skype (Live-Chat RPs). More on the Game elements later. Being such, participating actively in this event can really pull in the RP points ^^
- An Activity Rule is in effect. By signing up below, you agree to follow all GC and RP Rules alongside the following activity rule: At least one post is required every 48 hours. Failure to post at least once within those 48 hours will result in your character disappearing mysteriously, to be recovered by the remaining heroes at the end of the roleplay. (They won't die, but I won't let their unresponsiveness slow down the game). If you have an unexpected (but announced) LOA during this event that lasts less than 3 days, your character will be carried with the team. If the LOA lasts more than 3 days, the normal disappearance protocol will go into effect. Additional Note: characters have up to 48 hours to reply to a post directed to them; if a player is taking a while to respond, their character is not to be negatively affected - no powerplaying will be allowed, and this includes having a character remark or notice that the other has not responded, as that manipulates a character's personality traits (refusing to recognize someone is a negative quality and only that character's player may determine how long they took to respond to a question).
- Random Events may occur.
- Discord use is highly recommended. For the game elements in this roleplay, a quick question/answer method is best and Discord is the preferred chat system. Discord is free and doesn't require personal information to use. Once the event gets underway I create a Discord channel to be used as the OOC thread for the event; add me to your contacts with your GC name and I'll add you to the channel. There will be a forum-based OOC board for this event (once sign-ups are closed, this board becomes the OOC), so while it is highly recommended, if you are uncomfortable with using Discord information will still be handed out through this board if necessary. My Discord username is kyralih#9205
Dungeon Crawler Game Notes
- The dungeon crawler aspects of the game are all over the place! That means we'll be using maps, as well as HP and MP counters, as well as Strength, Dexterity, Mind, and Perception skill points! See this for an Example (don't worry, lol, everything on page two and three of that document was all at the end of the game
Characters who have already made and used their profiles in past events may make small edits in their point distribution (remember to add the events you played in to your character profile to unlock more character building points!) and any changes to magic skill costs as necessary; skype me to make changes! * irrelevant for this event.
- New players (ilu come play!) will need to build their character from scratch; we'll start the process together when you sign up with your approved profile! Skype me!
- Big Game Rule: You will be held to your accepted profile. If you use any item during the game that was not listed in your profile, I'm throwing a red flag and having you rework that post. Do not "find" anything I have not told you (over skype or PM) that you have found. Stuff's important in here, and I'm keeping a tight reign on it XD. Battle wounds and such will be decided by roll via me, so no fake wounds or overdramatizing attacks and whatnot. Attacks will follow the same rule - I roll for everything. Everything. Using random rolls makes Godmodding and Powerplaying nearly impossible, so that's why I do it the way I do ^^
- Rules for items purchased at The Fate Exchange will follow the rules outlined in that OSA-P Store.
- Game Mechanics:
Stat Check Perception Checks are randomly rolled via a d12; if a character's perception meets or exceeds the roll, they succeed in noticing the hidden detail / able to see the connections and logically solve a tricky problem.
Dexterity Checks are based on Stat Points; if person A has more than double the dexterity of person B, person A automatically hits person B. If person A has less than half the dexterity of person B, person A will automatically miss person B. Persons A / B can be a PC or an NPC/Enemy.
Strength Checks are based on Stat Points and come up randomly in storylines; primary use is in carrying other senshi. It has decreased since the first event from STR 3+ to carry a person to STR 2+ to carry a person. It may be used in the future during scripted physical attacks/stalemates between combatants.
Attacking Magical Attack: Deduct MP cost from Character Stats, whether hit or miss. Roll: Hit or Miss. Roll 4+ for a hit, 3- is a miss. Sneak Attack: Perception Check; if passes, additional points of damage / additional status effect enacted. Crowded Areas: If a character misses their target and other targets are in the vicinity of intended target, a roll will be made for the other targets to see if they, instead, were hit. Roll order determined by position closest to target.
Damage - Physical Attack Roll: base roll, d6 Bonuses: --Weapon Bonus: +X for using a specific weapon, X determined in Weapon box of character creation. --Strength Bonus: +STR
Damage - Magical Attack - Costs MP, regardless of whether it hits or misses Roll: base roll, d6 Bonuses: --Magic Bonus: +(1/2 MP Cost) for using a specific magical attack and hitting the target --Control Bonus: +CTRL
Healing - Magical - Costs MP, regardless of whether it hits or misses Roll: base roll, d6 Bonuses: --Magic Bonus: +(1/2 MP Cost) for using a healing spell and hitting the target --Control Bonus: +CTRL
Multi-Target Magic Attack/Healing Calculate Damage/Healing Split the damage/healing evenly for the number of targets attempted Roll for whether it hits each target If miss, that damage/healing is just lost, not transferred.
Shielding - Magical Shield Outlined on Character Sheet
Armor Bonuses: --Armor Bonus: -Y based on armor; senshi base armor is 3 for both physical and magical attacks aimed at them.
Damage - Ultimate Magical Attack Amount of MP thrown into ultimate attack is chosen by the attacker; they can throw all of their remaining MP into it to create a harder-hitting attack. Roll 2+ for a hit Magical Attack as standard
- Generally speaking, one "Round" in battle is around 6 seconds long
- Specifics for This Event:
Background Information As other HC Events, this series will take place in the Galaxy Cauldron Crystal Tokyo "Canon", which means it can be added to Otaku Character Profiles as an official part of their history. That being said:
- The timeline is several hundred years after Crystal Tokyo was formed. Chibi Usa is now known as "Lady Serenity" (or Young Lady) and has taken on the mantle of Sailor Moon, and the Quartet have awakened as her guardian Senshi. Earth is open to visiting senshi from other systems; once they arrive they go through a little ceremony that walks them through the do's and don't's of staying on Earth and such. But none of this matters as far as our Story goes.
- Time-wise, this event happens during the HC Event Remnants. Within that event, the characters that were being played experienced a 1 - 2 day adventure and later found out that it was actually 5 months in the time of the rest of the Galaxy. During that time, Chaos advanced and started a Sailor War, wherein the entire galaxy was simultaneously attacked by Chaotic forces. Tens of Thousands of planets were attacked all at once by generals of the Chaos Prince's army, backed by creatures and shadows of chaos that furthered their schemes. In terms of strength, think the "generals" rather than the head-honcho in the Sailor Moon arcs ((i.e., the Shitennou, or Black Moon Clan, or Witches 5, as opposed to Metallia, Death Phantom, or Pharaoh 90)); however, a simultaneous attack by these enemies was alarming and many inexperienced senshi died, creating an immediate imbalance in the universe between Cosmos (not the senshi, but the general force of nature) and Chaos.
This event will take place during those 5 months. Subsequent events in this series will continue in a timeline parallel to the original event line; consequences of that first event line will continue to affect these events, but not vice versa as their story took them in a grander direction than this. what with their personally pissing off the Chaos Prince by a) being the Solar System Senshi and b) having the gall to his well-thought-out trap on the Remnants planet. Please note that, this being the case, any death in this series of HC events will be permanent until the end of the events when Achelois makes her deal and revives them all. So you could totally die but don't be too bummed because they'll pop back up at the end of these. Or near the end of these. Depending on how the timelines jive.
- The setting is far away from Crystal Tokyo, in an area of the Galaxy that is well out of Neo Queen Serenity's influence. And here is where we get a little complicated so hold on to your hat and mark you questions if you have any.
Miscellaneous Lore that your character (and you) don't need to know but I felt should be explained. The picture shows the rough mapping of each "Mother's" Realm of Influence - that is, each Sailor Senshi of Sailor Moon's caliber who ascended the throne to become Queen and has given birth to a daughter whom will someday become a senshi in her own right. Each has her own court of Senshi who can donate their power to her, each is considered the Shining Star of their sections. There are other Sailor Princesses within her region (Sailor Senshi of systems wherein there are multiple senshi who can donate their power to her), but of them, she is the most powerful and so takes the most responsibility for the overall safety of her sector. During the current Sailor War, each Queen is protected in her Palace, and so long as she prays for peace and her Sailor Crystal shines in response (yup, each have a Silver Crystal-esque type crystal, but Usagi's is the most pure and powerful of them all)(thus her area being largest) the pressure of chaos pressing in on her borders is held back. Without her constant attention, her answering force to that of darkness, the chaos agents within her borders would become ever stronger. The opposite of this is what happened with Enyalius - when she was tainted by Chaos, she was reborn as a Princess of Chaos, and thus able to press back against Cosmos. As her pressure was so unexpected, it caught the Queens of Cosmos off guard and off balance, and it was for that reason that the scales tipped so dangerously in Chaos's favor. On the map you'll see a few arrows - you just need to note that the Pink Circle designates the area of space under NQS's influence - that is to say, it is not her Kingdom, but it shows how far her reach is when she uses the Silver Crystal to its full extent to press Chaos back during the War. You'll note the few arrows in there to mark where the planets the HC Events have gone ((except for Remnants - I forgot to mark that planet, woops)). Other circles show the really rough sketching of the other Queen's sections - note that they're all definitely smaller than NQS's because she is the brightest star in the galaxy and strongest of them all, but still, these Queens are HBIC of their own area. Our story takes place within the Red Circle. The Red Arrow points to the court of the Queen of that sector; the yellow arrow points to where our story will take place. Note: The red circle is rather large, and is rather far away from NQS's circle. Additional Note: The little planet this will take place on is very much near the border of that sector - in the "sticks". - Quote :
- First Note About Characters for This Event:
No Canon Characters allowed. No Otaku from NQS's Region are allowed. No Otaku from any Region but Red is allowed. Within the Red region, planets closer to the yellow arrow will be assumed as home planets for these senshi No Otaku with any connections to NQS's Region is allowed.
"Sailor Moon who?" "Neo Queen huh?" "Crystal What?" is exactly what we're going for here, not that those terms will even come up at all in these. Our first story in this series is called "Conscription."Which, as the name suggests, means that your character does not really have a choice in joining this adventure. The Red Sector is ruled over by Queen Zhi, who is new to her throne, and her Guardian Senshi have been badly shaken by the sudden onslaught of Chaos Agents all over their region. Calmed by Sailor Jupiter ((yes, communications go that far, go with it XD)) they get their plan together and start contacting every senshi within their region to organize the defense and war now at hand. They put out the call for volunteers, but they find themselves overwhelmed at an alarming rate; they soon had little choice in the matter and had to start conscripting senshi into service. The strongest are sent to the more populated regions, where these Guardian Senshi believe they will most be needed to combat the strongest of foes before the most damage was dealt, but as times grew worse, they had to start picking even the outliers and pulling them into the war. *Note; Chaos primarily targeted NQS's region to dethrone her first, so while the Chaos War reached this far, it is not so nearly as bad here as there. However, with senshi being defeated left and right, Chaos's hold is growing fast. In this conscription, not even the least experienced Senshi were spared. - Quote :
- Second Note about Characters for this Event:
Powerful/Older Senshi need not apply. If you had any battle experience they would've sent you to the front lines, not where our story is taking place.
In regards to experience: 14 - 22 years old 3 or less years Senshi experience since transformation 1 or less exposure to Metallia-level Chaos Entities 1 - 2 Attacks total (based on experience, that's totally reasonable; think season one senshi, with their standard go-to's. Your character can add more attacks to their repertoire as they level up! You can include these level-up attacks in your profile, but please list their original attacks first. You can also choose a level for the others to kick in at, if you'd like, or we can discuss that together; typically, attacks can be added at level 3, 5, 8, and/or 10. Sailor [Noun]. Please choose a senshi name that denotes your senshi's physical planet or star power base, rather than an abstract idea. Also, please select a noun, rather than an adjective. The goal here is to create a team that would parallel Sailor Moon's team in the first arc ((but not with necessarily the same stuff - I'm clear as mud, I know)) Just like - senshi who draw their power from a planet (or star) and whose magical attacks/abilities reflect some single(or double like with Venus) alignment with an element or some other type of force.
I'm aiming for a party of equals. What about males? Males totally allowed, but they need to have a Sailor Crystal. Think Prince Endymion, or like Mamoru with a Tuxedo-Mask like alter-ego. Rather than full-on senshi abilities, as Naoko said guys can't be senshi, consider instead passive abilities or abilities that require an item to work. Example, Mamoru's healing abilities stem from the Golden Crystal and he has the pure-energy attack "La Smoking Bomber"; your male character's abilities may be elemental in nature, and can manifest when using a certain item or phrase. Please note that, just like with Tuxedo Mask, their offensive magical abilities may be requested to be lower than senshi abilities ((i.e. I may request a lower CTRL stat)). ((but, like, a bow and arrow that he could charge with wind energy? Totes cool and also totes cool. This is what your character would know:If they are from a "developed" planet, one where space-travel is the norm, they would have heard of the Sailor War. How they feel about it is up to you/their personality. If they are from a "non-developed" planet, where space-travel has not been created yet and there hasn't been exposure to alien races, they would not have heard of this Sailor War until conscripted. Your planet has not been hit by Chaos during this War. When making your character history, feel free to flesh out their homeworld as much as you can, or, if you're not comfortable with that, simple generalities would suffice. Other standard history req's apply. Remember: Sailor Senshi costumes do not all need to follow the Solar Sailor Senshi's design. So long as it's got a Sailor Collar on it, it can be a Sailor Senshi uniform. XD I'm not saying I won't allow the standard uniform or anything, just reminding that variety is totally welcome. For your RP Sample:Set the scene for being Conscripted. Generally, the events of being conscripted go as follows: - A powerful senshi (a Guardian Senshi for the "red" court) lands on your character's planet literally right in front of your senshi ((they honed in on your Sailor Crystal's signature)), state that by Order of Queen Zhi, you are hereby Conscripted, and will be serving in the Chaos War in defense of planets within Chaos's thrall. You are given very little time to prepare, and then transform and follow this Senshi into space - probably flying for the first time ever. The character that will collect you is named Sailor Jin. Her uniform is yellow with orange embroidery work and hemming, and resembles a knee-length cheongsam with a sailor collar overtop the higher neckline of the dress. She has black hair pinned in an up-do and has golden-colored eyes and eye-makeup. She wears slippers that stay tight to her feet; she does not have gloves, but rather has orange ribbons tied around her wrists. When the RP begins, these new, young, conscripted senshi from various planets will be assembled onto one planet, told to clear it, and then promptly abandoned to their duty. They may or may not get a visit by the Crone. *Note! For these events, the Crone Stamp will not be purchasable as you are already guaranteed your character is not dead-for-good. - Disclaimer wrote:
- Oookay, so only through talking with Bubbles on skype did I realize I need to add a giant disclaimer to this event.
It'll be neat for them to discover it themselves! It all makes sense within the confines of the story! ._. oh yeah wait they should probably know that
Disclaimer: Concatenation is an HC Event series consisting of 4 month-long events to take place during August (Conscription), October(???), January(you think i'd release their titles?), and March(nope).
- Signing up for this event actually signs you up for the next four, or until your character dies. You don't have to participate in them - dropping out would just kill your character (until event 4).
- Not signing up for this event may preclude you from the next four events.
- If your character dies during any of the next four events, they will be brought back during the 4th event, but they (and, by extension, you, the player) will not be able to play in any events between the time of their death and their resurrection in the 4th event, even should you (the player) create another character to play with.
This is not the same situation as in NQS's Territory. As written above, Zhi's court is not nearly as experienced or organized as NQS's court I mean they don't have Mercury and Endymion to create their communication system, or Jupiter's experience to know how to run the show, or NQS's steadfast belief in that everything will be okay - they are in stage 5 freak-out right now, and they are suffering for it. They're not being hit nearly as hard as NQS's territory, but their territory is smaller, and thus has less senshi within it that could volunteer, let alone that would or did volunteer. Less Chaos is having a greater effect there as they scramble to keep it away and keep their Queen safe.
As stated, things are drawn so thin that they've resorted to conscripting senshi to send them off to war on planets those senshi haven't even heard of, whether they know how to fight Chaos or not. The experienced ones are being sent on riskier, higher-stakes missions and expecting them to not only make it out alive, but also to succeed and report to be sent on the next risky high-stakes mission; with the less-experienced senshi (like ours), they're tossing them into a group based generally on the stellar neighbourhood and leaving them on a planet to clear it of chaos, wherein they will either succeed, die trying, or abandon their mission and be hunted down for abandoning their mission. Yes, they would take the resources to find deserters over sending those resources to cleanse the next planet - they're panicking. They're new, they're desperate and confused and terribly afraid that if they can't do this, if they can't keep Chaos at bay and senshi following their orders, their best friend will die because of it. If one group abandons duty and gets away scott-free, they all might do it and then Xhi is dead, and the rest of her sector with her.
So annywayyy, what that means for our group is that if one person dies, there literally is no one available to take her spot, so they move on with a lesser number and keep trying.
As it stands, I'm really trying to keep deaths out of this first one. Everyone should survive Conscription, barring catastrophic accidents, so really this only primarily concerns Event 3 for characters that die in event 2, and the first half of Event 4, for those that didn't survive 3 or 2.
But tadaa disclaimer done! If you would like to back out, that's totally fine. Otherwise keep those profiles going xD
Additional Note: I've got a secret Sailor Princess plan in the works, so we can actually do combined attacks and etc. to beat big baddies this time around and potentially level up in groups and stuff; our characters will not automatically be included in this "group" as they probably won't naturally be from the same system, but I wanted to throw that out there as something to keep in mind excite hypeAdditional additional note: Some may be worried about needing a healer senshi on board and may feel like they have to 'take one for the team' and take that healer role now that Achelois and wonderful-backup Sedna aren't there to heal people. Just wanted to say that I've got a healer for this one so play the role you want to play. If you honestly want to play a healer, go ahead xD If you honestly want to play a defender, go ahead, and if you want to play a tiny little potential-badass-in-the-making, do it. XD These people don't get to pick their teammates, so it's totally okay if we end up with an imbalance xD
Remember!
- Pay attention to the story - read every post so you don't miss anything. Major Plot Points will be delivered through me - I will announce, for example, when we find objects/people, and what things look like. I will arrange for the baddies to be fought, and I'll handle the combat system (everyone chooses their own attacks and everything, I just roll to see if those attacks hit, and see how effective those attacks are against the bad guys, and rolling a die to see how much damage they do. Needless to say: If your don't pay attention to the story, your character's reactions / ideas / etc. may be out of place, and will be treated as such by other characters. Read Carefully.
- Post at least once every 48 hours - Failure to post at least once within those 48 hours will result in your character disappearing mysteriously, to be recovered by the remaining heroes at the end of the roleplay. (They won't die, but I won't let their unresponsiveness slow down the game). If you have an unexpected (but announced) LOA during this event that lasts less than 3 days, your character will be carried with the team. If the LOA lasts more than 3 days, the normal disappearance protocol will go into effect.
- Watch out for Random Events - if the majority of players are active in the Discord Channel I may spring Random Events on players; these will always be announced in the Discord conversation, where it will be open for questions/comments/concerns, and will always come with caveats for those who cannot actively post on the board within the time period allotted. Instructions need be followed, else consequences wordlessly accepted for not following the specific directions.
- This is an Advanced Event! All posts outside battle are required to be 100 words or more!
And, finally, while bringing in side-storylines is okay, this roleplay's main story will end on June 3rd, win, lose, or draw. I suggest keeping noses to the grindstone and keep moving forward to make it to the ending battle before it's too late!Event Begins May 17! If you have any questions about this event (any part, anything) ask it here or in our Discord OOC Chat (tag me if it's a question specifically for me (or discord direct message me) so it won't be lost in the mess!) and I'll respond as quickly as possible.

- At first, they didn't know how to figure out where to go - it was a planet, they had no map - the compass continued to point back the way they had come, towards Venus and their attacker, and while that was comforting in that it meant there was nothing stronger than he waiting for them on the planet, it meant they were flying blind. Until... they felt for it. It was as though their Sailor Crystals knew where the Tapestry Crystal was, and that it was under duress - being this close, it called to them for help, and with this invisible bond pulling them towards the planet's surface, they were guided towards the shores of a large continent, honing in on what ended up being a huge city.
Despite it being large, it did not appear to be too "futuristic" - some of them had planets that seemed more advanced, at least on the surface. The style seemed to be all arches and curves, wood and metal, elegant and beautiful...
Or it had been.
They had to fly low and land quickly in a street between single-story buildings and great and terrible dark creatures flew overhead, screaming incoherently, their shape some cross between dragon and snake, but smooth, without front legs, their mouths nothing but teeth. The city was all but destroyed, buildings leveled and burning, smoke choking out the nighttime sky.
This was it. The beginning of their most important mission. If they listened to their heart, they could still feel the Tapestry Crystal calling to them, but if they listened with their ears... they could hear chaos raging against their presence.
The end was near. What do they do? |

| Crysdal flinched as the terrifying creatures zooming above them screamed, but tried her best to hide her fear. The decision to land had been hasty, but obviously necessary; that meant, however, that now they had to navigate the ruined city by ground rather than air, and who knew what was lying in wait for them in the desecrated buildings. "Is anybody hurt?" she asked; she hadn't thought the landing hard, but with the splintered wooden beams strewn about... they'd have to be careful walking anywhere. |

| The city was amazing and beautiful yet horrifying at the same time. Ari tried to imagine what it would have been like had it not been a chaotic mess of destruction, but found it too hard with the terrifying flying creatures above. She lowered her ears attempting to drown out the sounds raging about her. It was nearly unbearable. "I'm fine." She spoke quietly in reply to Crysdal. The descent had been rough but she had managed. Ari, however, avoided eye contact with anyone in the group even Hadley. She had done so ever since they abandoned Venus. Hemera had died because of her. Now Venus. All because she was too weak. She leaned against the cracked wood of one of the destroyed buildings. Staying near the group, but keeping to herself, she concentrated on drowning out the noise from above while still listening to what the others had to say. Looking down the street of destruction, all she could think was how this would be Bastet's fate, no, everyone's planets fates if they failed here. The weight of their mission pushed heavier than ever on her and she resisted the urge to just crumple up in a ball to wait for death. She glanced at the group, eyes lingering on Hadley. They were still standing. She would too. But where to next? They had been forced to land, the skies too dangerous. The city was vast like a labyrinth to them and they had no directions aside the pull of the Tapestry crystal in their hearts. Ari closed her eyes concentrating on the magic aura of the crystal, trying to discern which direction it was coming from. |

| SAM's landing was much gentler than she had been before, acutely aware that there were no hydraulics to soften the impact on her legs this time. This city was like nothing she'd seen before, unused to so much wood, even in its splintered, burning state. The air was stifling with smoke as they hurried to land, but it was the urgency that made her tune out how it stung her throat and eyes without her mask to filter it. She just had to rely on herself now. "...I'm in one piece." It was a close thing though. If she didn't have a protective layer during that last assault... SAM shook off that thought as her fingers absentmindedly scratched as her pale skin, not sure if the itch was real or all in her head. It was probably both. The less she thought about how exposed she was, the better, even with all the sensory overload from the Tapestry Crystal, Chaos, and the torn up battleground they had to navigate. "Did we have a plan for our approach, or were we just going strait for the crystal?" Chalybs activated her MP Amulet one more time, preparing for whatever laid ahead of them. |

| Finally they reached their destination planet. The city they landed at seemed entirely ruined - was the entire planet like this by this point? Would this happen to their homes too? But what's done is done. No sense in dwelling in the destruction they see - their job now was to prevent the destruction to come. Sam's question alarmed her. A plan for their approach, huh... They were about to begin talking things to death again, weren't they? Just what she hated the most, she thought. "Venus won't hold him off forever," she stated and began walking towards the way she felt right deep inside. Remembering their earlier encounter, she easily managed to see the enemies approach in time, but most of the others did not. Perhaps she should move first. Perhaps she could warn them in time if she saw something. "When did plans do us any good anyway?" She turned back to Sam for a second and smiled softly. - ooc:

| Unlike the others around her, all working their way through various stages of anxiety and guilt at leaving Sailor Venus behind, Sailor Xtal-Diamante exhibited none of those traits. Her stony facade remained blank and her voice stayed silent as they traveled farther from the ominous presence that had threatened their group. The talk of the "Tapestry Crystal" still meant very little to Xtal-Diamante as far as understanding a tangible object, but the mere thought of it seemed to hum a deep reverberation throughout her crystal core. It filled her with a hint of warmth, as though remembering the heat of the sun that illuminated her distant home. If flooded her mind with transient images of colour and pressure. Like all of the others, it called to her. She could feel the beat of it, faintly, within the center of her being. The world that they arrived at seemed as foreign as all the others. She could barely distinguish it from the previous planets, everything seeming to blend together for the pale-haired teenager with the empty eyes. The beasts that screeched above them were foes they avoided with a careful low path, and she could make no sense of their forms: long, toothed, loud, and undulating. Perhaps there were no places like her own home. This place was destroyed now, and she was unable to piece together the wreckage in a meaningful way and imagine what it might have looked out prior to this devastation. When Aegle asked if anyone was hurt, Xtal-Diamante also turned to look over those who were so susceptible to damage. The metal one had, for some strange reason, opted for a soft form. It seemed ill-advised in the face of danger, but she would not be the one to question it. "We should follow the crystal, quickly," she silently advised, in response to comments from Chalybus and Nyx. There was no way to tell how much time they'd have. |

| Everyone seemed okay; she had been a little worried about Sam - she was without her... metal case thing, and she seemed a little overwhelmed and cautious without it. Ari, too, seemed... different. Lost, ashamed, something. She understood why - leaving Venus was the logical thing to do, but it didn't seem right. They had no other choice, but that didn't mean it sat right with everyone. Crysdal wanted to try to help them - all of them - but Gabriel... Uneasily, she glanced up at him, worried all over at his vacant expression. He hadn't been the same since that Chaotic entity showed itself. He was unresponsive - she had had to guide him every step of the way, through the atmospheric descent to the landing they had just made. She had managed to cover for him so far - she didn't think anyone suspected he was zoning out, but Venus and finding the Crystal had made for a cover she could use, and she didn't know how much longer that would last. If the others found out... she didn't want them to worry even more. She'd take care of him, as he had been taking care of her. ... she was too afraid to do anything else. It was too familiar to ignore - Elysande had been the same way, before she... As Nyx reminded them that they had to hurry, she shook Gabriel's hand gently, hoping to stir him out of it, and gently guided him forward. She was thankful for Nyx's teasing comment and smile; raising their spirits was important, especially in a place as depressing and dangerous as this. - Aegle Hug:

| SAM was momentarily stunned by Nyx's response, having gotten used to her mood since leaving Destore. "I-I guess you're right, planning does seem pointless right now..." SAM said, giving her a tentative smile back. They just needed to take the shortest path to the Tapestry Crystal while Venus covered them. And those creatures flying above would hopefully ignore them as long as they stayed on the ground. It just always felt better when there was a plan to follow... SAM would just have to adjust to literally following her gut feelings to their target. She moved to catch up with Nyx. "I can keep my scanner up if you want me to cover our backs," she said, more to the group. |

| Ari wondered if the direction she was sensing from the crystal was the same as the others. Seeing Nyx more involved in the conversation brought her some comfort, albeit little, so she decided to speak up. "I think I've figure out a general direction," she pointed down the street towards where she had felt before, "It looks passable, but I think it's a dead end. We'll just have to go around." Ari took a few steps in the direction she pointed to. Was there some sort of palace or temple the crystal was in? She hadn't noticed one but they had landed before really getting a chance to observe the city from above. Besides, the smoke and dark creatures flying above had created a haze that made parts of the city difficult to see. |

| Sailor Xtal-Diamante was glad that the others were moving. This felt unlike the times before, when everyone would stand and emit sound waves at each other, without motion that conveyed their forms to a future location. She could almost feel the action of the creatures that swirled in the air above them, as though it added a soft undercurrent to their loud bellows, which rattled within her core. It was only mildly unsettling, but that sense of unease stayed with her as she followed towards the area that the cat-eared Sailor Bastet indicated. Dangers lurked here, and it would be different than the odds they had encountered before, in other places. That humming within her self, that strange warmth that led her forward... It was something they would all have to trust, down here. |

| As thankful as she was to be on solid ground again, it felt strange to stand on her own feet again. A good kind of strange. Hadley glanced around, taking in the surroundings and winced at the sheer destruction that was evident in the ruined buildings, the smoke clogging up the air, and rubble littering the ground. She stayed closed in on herself, arms tight to her side. Instinctively, Hadley glanced to Ari, but still Ari would not look to her and Hadley had to advert her gaze once more. She wanted to give her friend proper space, but at the same time, she worried. Always worried. Hadley felt small amongst all of this ruin, amongst all of her wonderful comrades and friends. Fear tightened her chest, and her hand couldn't quite stop their shaking. But... she felt ready. This was what everything had been for. All of those battles, all of the pain and the death. All of the sacrifices. She knew that there were others lost who would have done this vital task more justice than she ever could, but she was here now, and it was up to her to make sure that it had all been for something. She spent a moment, remembering them all. And then lifted her eyes to look forward. Her hand found its way to the amulet hanging from her neck, and she gripped it with a tight grip, praying to Valdis and to the kind old lady who had given it to her. She asked for their courage, and for their help. As her fingers brushed the Cawthian Pouch, she sent a small prayer to the seeds in there as well. Ari's voice brought Hadley out of her own introspective moment, and she looked again to her friend, from the soft purple curls to the bright green eyes. She focused her gaze on each of the others in turn. Their group was impossibly smaller now, but at least none of them had to deal with all of this alone. There was a certain comfort in that. Remaining silent, Hadley moved with the others, and tried to ignore the irregular beating of her heart. - Action:

- They continued down the debris-filled street, climbing over obstructions, pulled in the direction of the stranded crystal. Every cross-street only revealed more of the destruction in an attack that must have happened while they were on Destore, everything too fresh to have happened at any time before.
It was during one of these cross-street passings that Nyx felt an instantaneous moment of panic. "Do you think she was here?" Crysdal asked, glancing down yet another street littered with splintered wood, some dark, powdery substance and... she looked away, forcing the image of collapsed human bodies from her mind, even as she choked on her heart. This... this was happening everywhere. This is what would have come of Cipiere and Destore - the burning city was the norm, rather than the exception. She held back the tide of horror and fear that threatened to beak through by focusing on Gabriel, on leading him through his next steps, around the wooden beam in their path. She shouldn't have said anything. They shouldn't be thinking about anything else - looking back, looking around - they couldn't afford distractions, it would only slow them down, make them stop and mourn. "Nevermind," she hastily amended, "This place must have been beautiful before all this." There she went again. "Once we get the crystal, I'm sure things will go back to how they were." Small talk; she felt like it was necessary, but what exactly do you say in a situation like this? |

| Slowly and steadily, they made their way through the ruins. She listened as Aegle seemed to be thinking out loud... What made her so hopeful? Even if they got the crystal, how could things ever go back to what they were? She thought of their mission as more preventive of further pain and destruction - not quite restorative. True, if they managed to put an end to this... They would probably be able to start over. But still... Who knows. They should just do their best in any case. As they continued, something felt off for a moment. Was something there? Were they about to strike? Instinctively, she summoned her staff, looking carefully at every direction. ...Was it just her imagination? |

| Crysdal shrieked in surprise as the creatures suddenly flung themselves down towards them and braced herself so she wouldn't fall over as Gabriel fell onto her and then pushed off of her, his shield swooping up instinctively to stave off the attack. That, at least, was comforting - he was back, he was himself, and that gave her strength and woke her up, too. Gabriel, Hadley, Hex - She kissed her hand watching, tracking where she saw hits land - Gabriel lunged across her to block an attempt at her, blocking her view for a moment - Hadley had evaded, Sam - something shimmered around her. A shield? They were all still standing, she just had to choose -- Hadley. She carefully aimed and blew her kiss at Hadley.- Healing:

| She couldn't dodge these attackers; they moved too swiftly, seemingly formed from darkness itself, although their overall shape resembled that of herself and her team members. Her awkward maneuvering only seemed to put her more squarely in their line of action. When the creature struck, Sailor Xtal-Diamante didn't necessary feel paint but she could sense the gravity of how she had been hit. It was more critical, perhaps, than any blow she had taken before. If she breathed, she might have had a sense of the wind being knocked out of her—but that was not possible without lungs. Instead she tried to assume a more defensive stance, the crystal eyes desperately trying to follow the forms of the enemies that set upon them. Perhaps she could strike out, if one approached her range. At the same time, she concentrated on her companions. The glow of her crystal core felt dim, but she'd have to use it. Hopefully she could assist them. Her eyes flashed twice as she made her selection. And as she did so, she thought almost immediately after of her world, of her home, and of walking on its surface again someday. - Attack:

| Seeing Nyx stop in front of them and summon her weapon, SAM stopped as well. Was something here? The figures that jumped from the rooftops knocked her completely off guard, and before anyone could move, the creatures attacked. The one that had struck Xtal-Diamante turned to her next, and bit back a yell as it broke through her defense in one strike, leaving her injured and terrified. If it hurt that much while partially absorbed by her shielding, how much would it hurt next time? SAM took a few steps back, clutching her arm to at least try and cover where she was hit. She was already looking for a place to hide, but then her eyes fell on the rest of the group, her allies. She'd agreed to do whatever she could to help Crysdal, and Eternal Sailor Venus had done so much for them already... She didn't have the right to be a coward. Just hiding in a corner creating more barriers for herself would be selfish, and would probably get someone else killed. SAM steadied her breath and focused on the monster in front of her, making her decision. She let go of her arm to raise her hand, building up energy. Sailor Chalybs used Chalybs Beam (Control) 3 MP on Shadow 3. Burn Chance.

| The pain struck her so suddenly, stealing away her breath as she stumbled to keep her footing. She tried to fill her lungs with precious air once more, muscles trembling from the effort. It hurt. After the initial wave agony finally passed, it dawned on her that they must be under attack. Somehow, the realization never failed to surprise her. She stood up straight, and took a moment to figure out the situation. She saw the enemies first, their shapes familiar but so very very dark. No more hesitating, she reminded herself. And she braced her heart against the fear. Aiming to the one closest to herself, Hadley called out her own attack: "Verdant Spikes!"Only then did she glance towards her allies, fearful of what she might see, but wanting - needing - to know. Relief washed over her to see that each of them still stood on their own. Alive. - Action:

| Ari had barely registered Nyx pausing with her staff in her hands when the attack came. She spun and watched in horror as the dark humanoid creatures landed blows on everyone. Frantically she watched, trying to decide who to help first, for she had somehow been spared. She looked at everyone individually. The creature that had attacked Hex first moved to hit Sam, but Hadley...she looked over towards her. She was having to fight the dark shadow on her own. Ari furrowed her brows, decision made.

| She got Hadley. Determined, she ignored the fate of the magical attacks her friends threw outward - all she need worry about was them and their well-being. Being distracted by how the enemies fared had thrown her off before, she couldn't let that happen again. Hadley, good. Nyx, good. Hex, good but injured - she gathered her energy again, pulling it to her lips as she raised her hand, waiting for it to charge enough to be useful. Sam was okay - and could apparently still use her lights without her suit. Ari - Ari flung herself at Hadley's prior attacker and she tensed as the attack hit, waiting for the counterstrike. If anything touched them, she'd -- One of the creatures reappeared suddenly before her, its sharp hand thrusting towards her -- only to be thrown off course by Gabriel and his shield. She inhaled sharply and stumbled backward, falling to the ground as she tripped over a broken beam in the street, Gabriel's attempt at redirecting her to stay behind him foiled by their terrain. From the ground she had a clear view of the creature's bladed arm sliding down the length of Gabriel's shield, slowing, but ultimately landing and sinking into the flesh of his right thigh. Her stomach clenched as the arm was pulled out at a different angle to inflict more pain. She pushed herself to recover faster, to untangle herself and get to him, forcing herself to remain calm. Gabriel was strong, he could handle that attack, and she'd have it healed in -- Then another one struck, practically landing on his unprotected shoulder with its sharp blade first. It sunk into him, knocking him sideways to the ground with the force of its weight. Gabriel fell onto his shield, his head narrowly missing the broken beam. " GABRIEL!" She was only feet away, but she had no way of defending him. He had to be alive. Kicking her feet backward, she rolled over to free herself from the awkward beam and used the momentum to stand, bracing with one foot behind her to counter balance the motion once she was up, and looked around frantically for a weapon. She wasn't going to let it hurt him anymore! She grabbed a rough piece of splintered wood - something from the frame of a door or window - and kicked at its base to free off a chunk she could swing, and ran in, swinging full force, at the creature that had attacked Gabriel, aiming to knock it off!- Attack!:
Crysdal uses a Splintery Wooden Stick (0WPN) and attempts to attack Shadow 3!

| The daggers met with what she thought was flesh, a small grin on her face as she pushed a little harder trying to damage the creature as much as she could. Now she could take out all of her anger and grief on her enemy. Even though she felt a solid mass, the creature felt more like a being of dark mists. Like a mist wraith. She had a vague flash of memory of Bastien lore from her studies. She had once read of dark creatures like these. Unfortunately, that distracted her just enough to get hit in the chest, knocking her back slightly, pulling out her daggers as she stepped back. Ari went to lunge at the monster but paused when she heard a familiar scream. She turned slightly, seeing Gabriel lying on his shield. Oh no... She didn't watch to see if Crysdal would injure it. Ari faced her opponent, feeling desperate and lunged into him with her daggers once again, with full intent to kill. - Action:
Bastet used Daggers (2) on Shadow 2. Melee attack, WPN Bonus +1

| SAM's beam was a direct hit on the shadowy creature, instilling her with the confidence to stand her ground. This fight didn't feel nearly as hopeless as their battles in space. Instead of attacking her again, the creature turned to a more distracted target,and dug into Amarachius Sworn. It had him on the ground, and he wasn't moving... It was Crysdal's actions that unfroze her, and SAM turned and charged at the monster before she could stop and think about it. No one else was going to die without her doing anything to help them. "Your fight's with me!" she yelled, red eyes glaring at the creature Aegle had tried to knock off. She body-checked (Strength) Shadow 3, trying to forcefully remove it from Amarachius with all of her weight. |

Sam's body-check hits the creature dead-on! As the collision forces the creature from its perch, it twists its blade deep in Amarachius Sworn's chest, so that as it falls it cuts a rift. The force of the impact destroys Shadow 3, but Shadow 3's final action does fatal damage to Amarachius Sworn. Amarachius Sworn is dead. As the creature's body disappears, Amarachius Sworn's body starts to disintegrate, breaking into a thousand tiny lights. Amidst them, a shining Sailor Crystal appears and is released, shooting skyward the moment his body is fully broken down. |

| Her stick bounced uselessly off of the inky mass, knocking her off balance and back a few steps. She grit her teeth, ready to try again, when suddenly - "Your fight's with me!" Sam. Relief washed over her in that moment, determination redoubled as Sam rushed forward, her shoulder pointed towards the creature to throw the evil thing off of Gabriel. She hit it perfectly, and as the both of them went forward, the creature disappeared. She dropped the stick and dashed, springing off the ground and over the beam between them to land on Gabriel's other side, gathering power in her lips and her hair in one hand - now it was up to her. She closed her eyes and leaned in close, warding herself against what she knew would be a bloody mess, a state she never wanted to see anyone in, let alone her friend. But her lips never made contact with his skin. She leaned in closer - maybe she had underestimated the distance? But when still her lips did not find his cheek, her eyes shot open in panic, panic that only intensified with sight. Gabriel was disappearing. " No!" the cry tore from her throat. She used her hands, letting her hair fall into her face and leaving her weight on her legs alone, and tried to touch him, feeling only the slightest resistance where his skin should have been. He was breaking down - fracturing, into thousands of tiny specks of light. What should she do?! Tears streaming down her face, she tried to redirect her power to her hands to hold the light in, but it was no use - the glittering substance was floating away. She watched it with an air of desperation - there was no way she could gather it all, no way to -- When she looked back down, in the middle of where Gabriel's chest should have been there was a shining pyramidal crystal with a grey sheen and a pure yellow light glowing within. Her breath caught. She had never seen one before, but she had heard of them from those two senshi who had taught her what it was to be a senshi. They had spoken of them on this trip, even - it was his Sailor Crystal. His very soul. She reached for it - if she caught it, could she keep him here? Could she save him?! But just as she reached for it, it shot skyward, too fast for her to catch. The glitter that made up what had been the rest of Gabriel's body followed after it, streaking into the sky like a tiny shooting star, and was gone. Gabriel was dead. Wrapping her arms around herself, huddled on the ground in a pool of the blood of a person who no longer existed, Crysdal hugged herself and cried. |

| It was not her imagination. Why did she doubt herself? While she was prepared for the attack, she failed to warn the others in time too. So much for her plan. At least everyone seemed okay, mostly, and Aegle jumped into healer duty. Gabriel deflected attacks directed to her - looks like someone started being useful too. What should she do? She knew she would not be able to use her magic much longer at this rate. She would be useless later if she did so, but... Suddenly, she felt something inside her. Her focus was clearer, her magic felt strengthened. It was the rocky one that had such effects, wasn't it? Then she shouldn't waste this gift. Nodding at her, she prepared to direct her Moonlight Lullaby at one of the enemies. But screams from her allies caught her attention. Gabriel... He was unconscious? Sam rushed in to help, but... She managed to destroy the enemy, but his body suddenly... Was he... Why? How? To protect Aegle? That was... brave. Selfless. Was it possible that she had... misjudged him? Excellent time to figure it out. Another of the enemies began heading her way. Yes. Do just that.She raised her hand and directed her attack towards Shadow 1. - Action:
Moonlight Lullaby (3 MP) at Shadow 1 (ice beam attack). Chance of freeze if critical.
