[HC Event] Light in Darkness [Sign-Ups/OOC]

Outer Senshi Admin Roleplay Director

Recent IC Events:

It has been eight days since these senshi left the Maze Planet; there was no rest given after the events on Enyalius.

Sailor Enyalius is dead; her crystal stolen by the supposed leader of Chaos in this Sailor War.

Achelois tracks Enyalius's Sailor Crystal to find her whereabouts, Enyo's Chimera with her.

These senshi followed after Achelois, tracking her via Nocturnus's Asturlab

Azazel Knight returns to Leviathan to inform the others of what had happened:

The message Azazel sent out once he reached Leviathan will make its way to Sailor Jupiter, and from there, to the rest of the Galaxy; however, because the time to travel from Enyalius to Leviathan is not instantaneous, any senshi that act on this call will arrive later than the first group.

The message he was able to spread, from his second-hand knowledge of what happened on Enyalius at the end, is that Sailor Enyalius is dead and her Sailor Crystal was stolen by a man, and that Sailor Achelois and the others followed after that man in an attempt to get it back.

These characters are on Leviathan:

These characters are on Andromeda

These characters are in Castle Charon

The location of these characters are unknown:
[HC Event] Light in Darkness [Sign-Ups/OOC] PJkdMF

Other Senshi are on various planets dealing with Chaos Agents; they are completely unaware of the Chaos Seeds (only four were planted, only one came to fruition), but can answer the call from Jupiter to join the others in pursuit of Enyalius's Crystal. Note: Sailors Mercury, Mars and Star Fighter are close enough to meet the team at their destination and are available for claims; however, these players must be extremely comfortable playing the manga canon personalities with modifications made to heighten maturity and confidence levels given their millennia of experience. They should not be played with their teenage personalities in mind. They should be played with manga canon timeline in mind. If you would like to claim either of these characters, please PM me two role play samples of your version of these canon characters for pre-approval.

Note (once again), any character listed below Azazel in the rankings above are all invited to attend this HC Event, but they will arrive later than everyone else to keep time within the game flowing smoothly. What this means is that players of those characters will be starting the roleplay later than the first group, and will be following after them in the setting, attempting to catch up so they're not too late to help in the critical battles.

Rules, Background, and Dungeon Crawler Game Notes and Information
This event is a Hardcore Event.

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:
Live Chat - some Hardcore Events will have live-chat 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:
The Collector -> Decay -> Return to Zenar -> Remnants -> Andromeda Spire -> Leviathan Core -> Fields of Enyalius -> Light in Darkness
Note, 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:
On Character Death:

Specific Rules for LiD:

Up to ten Specific Otaku Senshi will be allowed to join this event. See above for character stipulations; first come, first served; Second Characters will be allowed in when the ranks have not been filled with one day left during the sign-up period. *Accepted Otaku Senshi are senshi who have had their profiles approved by a Roleplay Administrator in the Otaku-Crossover Characters board; for help on accomplishing this task, see this thread for the application and contact any of our Roleplay Moderators (or me!). The profile could be advanced or relaxed for this event. Need ideas for a senshi? Why not visit Character Adoption?
This event is considered both Relaxed and Advanced. You need not follow the 100-word post count requirements of an Advanced board (though attempting proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation are necessary), but your character profile needs to be approved as Advanced for this event. 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.
Skype use is highly recommended. For the game elements in this roleplay, a quick question/answer method is best and Skype is the preferred chat system. Skype is free and doesn't require personal information to use. Once the event gets underway I create a Skype group 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 group. 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 skype information will still be handed out through this board if necessary. My skype username is Kyralih

Background

This event takes 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 setting 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. If your Otaku Senshi lives on Earth (or another planet) during another time period, you need to include a reason for them being this far in the future somewhere in your profile in order to ease this story into theirs.
No "parallel" or A.U. Characters will be allowed in this roleplay. Examples of such characters would be a character from an alternate timeline where the Silver Millennium thrived and did not expire, or the love-child of one of the canon senshi that has taken over her place as Sailor Chibi ______, etc., as that would alter the "canon" Crystal Tokyo that we have been working off of.

Known By Your Character wrote:

In this Canon, the following events have transpired. Click on the links to learn more (if you want), but as players you do not need to be 100% familiar with these past events, but your character should have heard of these events if they have been on Earth for any period of time:

The Collector - Nearly a year ago (in universe and in board), during a welcoming ceremony the Crystal Tokyo Court were taken from before an audience, spirited away by a strong, neutral-evil character called The Collector. A rag-tag team of extra-solar senshi followed after the trail of dust that followed in the Court's wake, and found themselves in an ancient Globular Cluster on the outskirts of the Milky Way Galaxy, wherein they fought ancient foes from a creepy living-dead museum and eventually faced off against The Collector himself, armed with weapons gifted to them by senshi who had long since died. In his defeat, the Crystal Tokyo Court was saved, and the group was given the Silver Crescent Award for their bravery.
Decay - Months after that, a tiny visitor came to Crystal Tokyo pleading for help for her planet: her Queen had been kidnapped, and a great evil was spreading throughout their home. Neo Queen Serenity requested volunteers to go to the planet Zenar and help the fairies find their lost Queen, and while there make sure the planet, which had no senshi of its own, was not being secretly taken by Chaos to be used as a base. Upon landing on the planet, the team was given a guide, Mossen, to help them through the dense, maze-like forest in an attempt to get to the castle in time. Ultimately they failed, as by the time they reached the castle, the Fairy Queen was corrupted, and the world began to decay around them. They managed to save much of the fairy populace and relocate them to another planet for the time, but that still meant that Zenar was corrupted by chaos, and would need to be cured...
Return to Zenar- After the failure of the first attempt at clearing Zenar of evil, another team of volunteers were prepared to face the task, studying all they could about what they would soon face. They learned more of the Queen, and her daughter who had been corrupted before her. They learned of the past of the planet, how it had once been home to humans who had all perished in a nuclear war, leaving angry spirits to populate the planet, giving Chaos a cozy place to settle. Once on the planet they flew directly into the castle, and fought many enemies to finally make it to their goals. They defeated the Chaotic Agent that was running the place, and saved the Fairy Princess, but the Queen died in the process. The Princess awakened as Sailor Zenar, and when all was said and done, she led her people back to the planet and fights diligently to reclaim and purify their home.
Remnants- No one outside the group of senshi who were involved should know anything about the events that transpired during this adventure.
MEANWHILE: The Milky Way is in chaos, and all senshi are aware of the peril and what is at stake. We are in the midst of another Sailor War, though no senshi have been converted to Chaos's side at this point. Worlds are under attack as minor Chaos Agents, all at once, started their invasions of occupied planets across the galaxy. Senshi have risen up to combat these threats, on their own world and elsewhere. Crystal Tokyo has taken it upon itself as a powerful governing faction to organize efforts; the powerful Solar System Senshi have been dispatched to lead groups of senshi to clear planets who are in danger, and then move on to the next. Think of the Chaos Agents in charge of these planets to be on the level of Chaos generals - the Kaolinites, Shitennou, Amazon Trio, etc., rather than manifestations of Chaos itself (Metalia, Death Phantom, etc.). While difficult to destroy all of the monsters these chaos agents summon, the agents themselves are not impossible to defeat. It's time consuming and stressful more than anything else; butif a planet falls to them it is difficult to rescue it.
Andromeda Spire - No one outside the group of senshi who were involved should know anything about the events that transpired during this adventure.
Leviathan Core - No one outside the group of senshi who were involved should know anything specific about the events that transpired during this adventure beyond that it seemingly resulted in a Sailor Senshi being corrupted.
No one other than those involved in Remnants, Andromeda Spire, or Leviathan Core know specifics about the Chaos Seeds or the male leader Ribbon described.
Fields of Enyalius - No one outside the group of senshi who were involved should know anything about the events that transpired during this adventure except in that Sailor Enyalius had died and her Sailor Crystal had been stolen afterwards.

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!
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:

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 (if any XD the 0 is allowed and causes the attack to miss its target)). 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 Skype Thread I may spring Random Events on players; these will always be announced in the Skype 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.

And, finally, while bringing in side-storylines is okay, this roleplay's main story will end on June 15, 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!

The Event Begins May 18th!

If you have any questions about this event (any part, anything) ask it here or in our Skype OOC Chat (or skype me directly if you're afraid it will be lost in the mess!) and I'll respond as quickly as possible.

The game begins on Wednesday, May 18th, and will end on Wednesday, June 15th.

Yes; however, to keep it all within this canon, only minor modifications can be made with previously used powers and abilities.

Players also note: if any powers are to be added to your character upon leveling up and you think your character might hit that level during this event, those powers must be added to your profile and accepted before the event begins, and need to be added to the Weapon/Magic/Item list before the event begins.
For example,
If you wanted to take advantage of the level 5 (or level 10) new magic ability, you need to have that new power added to your profile before this Wednesday, and, once added, contact me via skype or pm about adding it to your character's stat sheet and figuring out an MP cost.
If you wanted to add a 'power up' to an ability your character already possesses (like making it multi-target, adding in a debuff, etc.), you do not have to wait until lvl 5 or 10 to do so, but that addition needs to be added to your profile for a level your character has not yet reached and you need to contact me before we start Wednesday in order for it to take effect this game.

Lotus Crystal

I'll also be signing up as Sailor Mercury (with Kyra's permission) if there's any room left for extra characters. ^^
