Combat

Happy Birthday!

Whatever is easier for you. As long as people can understand what you're playing as, it can be as long or as short as you'd like it.

This was actually the easiest gym battle for me thanks to my Sylveon. Spamming Moon Blast was my strategy.

That's only there to prevent any "Xer0s" (massively overpower characters) from happening. The character I plan on using could also be considered over powered, so I kind made the extra rule act as a form of self restriction. As long as we don't hit "I blow up the prison and fly away" levels of over poweredness, I'm fine with anything else. In short, you're fine. I'm not worried about you becoming an issue with your character.

“Black Moon would like to thank our investors for continuing to fund our organization and would like to procure more to strengthen the security of the galaxy.” This can’t be happening… This just can’t be happening… In a sudden spasm, consciousness returned to you. How long had you been out? Why do you hurt all over? Where were you? In a sickening instant, you remembered. Those last fateful words that you heard, right before you were pacified by the bailiffs for transfer… “Black Moon Penitentiary.” Pushing yourself up, you tried to get a read on where you were. On all four sides of you, imposing metal walls were connected to the floor and the ceiling, giving you about five feet of room on each side. Shakily, you got to your feet (assuming of course, you had feet, or legs for that matter,) and looked about, trying to find an exit of any kind. Unfortunately, there was none. One wall had a television screen that buzzed with static, but besides that, the room you were in was completely empty. The screen gave off enough light for you to get a closer look on the walls, although the only thing you could see were large scratch marks. A moment before panic would have set in, the television screen changed. Your attention immediately went snapped to its black and white screen, where a strange program began to play. “Black Moon Penitentiary, a Prison, for the Future!” Fear turned to confusion, as the program continued to play, apparently mimicking the old propaganda that humanity had one used during the so called “Fifties.” “In the year 3746 Prince Caragan of the Galdraecs committed an unspeakable crime. Using highly advanced Nanite technology, Prince Caragan caused a Grey Goo event on the peaceful planet of Nova Scotia Five, quickly causing the Nanites to consume all matter on the planet in order to self-replicate! This attack on a peaceful planet was met with massive uproar across the universe, as the Galactic Alliance had banned the use of Nanites as a means of warfare centuries ago.” The issue of this situation came to what to do with the prince. Galdraec law prohibited the use of capital punishment against members of royalty since the dawn of their civilization, which prevented them from sending their plucky prince to The Melting Pot. With possible war on the horizon, the fate of the galaxy was grim, as the Galdraecs were known for their large military. That was, until Black Moon opened its doors. An intergalactic signal was sent out across the galaxy, advertising this new prison. The source was unknown, and after numerous investigations, no race or planetary system was given credit to the creation of it. Sitting directly in the middle of the Delta Toriga System, Black Moon was created as… to ke… no escap…” A fit of static took over the screen, as the narrator’s voice became corrupted by the static. Stepping back in shock, you stared at the screen, which slowly faded to black. The room fell silent for a few, precious moments, before the screen turned on again, this time in faded color. A dark silhouette moved back in forth in what appeared to be some sort of bedroom. The only source of light seemed to be coming from some sort of convenience cooker that lit up the far side of the wall. The figure moved back and forth for a few more moments, before seemingly noticing you. Turning to what you could only assume was the camera, the figure dropped the unknown items it had been holding, and slowly approached. Despite this meeting being a basic video chat, dread began to wash over you. The silhouette walked closer and closer, before sitting down only a foot or two away from the device. The lighting in the room prevented you from being able to fully make out the form. The figure stared at the camera for a full minute, before smiling. Under normal conditions, no one would have been able to see his mouth, but your tormentor’s teeth seemingly glowed. “They weren’t kidding; this new tooth paste really does make your smile shine.” Whoever was talking to you, was male according to the tone of his voice. Besides that, there was no other distinguishing feature that could be made out. The figure continued to stare at the camera for a few more moments, before pressing a button. A loud, mechanical noise began to sound throughout the entirety of the room as strange light began to pour in from unknown sources. The last thing you heard, before getting forcefully teleported out of the ship that had been carrying you towards your permanent home was from the figure… “Naught boys and girls who break the rules get punished. Welcome to Black Moon.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Black Moon Penitentiary is a maximum security prison with only one goal: Keep the inmates in. The exact location of this prison is unknown, as all records of its location have been destroyed over the years. Along with that, 99% of the security, maintenance, and employees of the prison are robotic, so no members of the public would be able to find it even with advanced technology. New inmates are transported to Black Moon by a teleportation device which is operated by the warden of Black Moon, concealing its location even more. Inmates of Black Moon are given surprising freedom considering the prison’s nature, the guards are programmed to adhere to strict schedules or remain in a standby mode unless of emergency (i.e. a riot [but not fights, inmates are to solve their own disputes], medical emergency, destruction of prison property, etc.). Inmates are able to roam without guidelines, for example, if a door is unlocked they can enter. The schedule of the inmates does have a stricter side, for example, while they are not required to attend meals inmates will not be able receive a “make up meal” in the case that they miss breakfast. Of course, at any time these rules may change, as the whims of the warden tend to be sporadic. There is no actual lock down when it becomes lights out for inmates, leading them to be able to leave their cells at any time. This however is not an issue, as the only other known biological “employee” of Black Moon is released after lights out. Inmates have given it the pet name of “The Entity,” as its origins and ecological niche is largely unknown. This gelatinous carnivore will attack any inmate it “sees” (using vibrations in the area around it and electrical pulse sensors, like a shark). It will not enter the cell of any inmate, even if one that it pursuing was to enters a cell so inmates are advised to remain in their cells because, as The Warden states “blob monsters are *$#@*^% stealthy, you can’t hear those ^!@#*&%$ sneak up on you. Even I stay in after dark, that son of a @%&!@ is bloody scary.” Inmates are put two to a cell in a coed style, the cells are twelve feet across and contain a cot on either side with a toilet and sink. The steel doors at the entrances don’t lock. In case of the death of an inmate see CODE G Code G: Also Known as “Oh No You Don’t, I Ain’t Finished with You Yet” Originally, the plan for Black Moon was for it to hold various criminals from across the known universe until they eventually expired. After Prince Caragan hung himself after only two weeks of imprisonment, the warden of Black Moon decided to get creative. Contacting various scientists and spiritualists, the warden created the “Corpus Collar.” The Corpus Collar, or CC for short, is placed on every inmate in Black Moon. In the event of an inmate’s death, the collar seemingly captures the inmates spirit and causes it to become an apparition. This way, the inmate stays in Black Moon forever. Spirits are no longer bound to many mortal concerns like eating and sleeping, and is no longer under the threat of “The Entity” (although it will still try to capture them.) These inmates are mostly solid, and are able to interact with the world around them, meaning walls still work against them. Tampering with the Corpus Collar can be... Hazardous to a spirit's health, effects include but are not limited to small explosions, ghost pain (pain experienced by ghosts, duh), and/or being blasted into a parallel universe in which everyone is a puppet. The ethics of the CC is still being debated, along with the fact that ghosts are real. Safety in Black Moon With no real employees working at Black Moon, the safety the general populous on the universe is in no real danger, thanks to the inescapability of the prison. As such, the warden of Black Moon proposed that the inmates be allowed to have weapons and such to defend themselves against themselves. This request was denied by the overseeing board of embassies who were in charge of the ethics at the time. Undeterred, the warden went on to have weapons delivered to the prisoners instead, despite many politician’s outcries. After being processed, inmates are given their weapons to use at free will. As the warden of Black Moon puts it “Now we’ll have less mouths to feed!” THE WARDEN Black Moon Penitentiary is run by a man known simply as The Warden, he controls the entire prison by means of rob-Alright, alright! We get it already! You give us money, we keep the prisoners in, blah blah blah. Alright, I'm going to level with you, potential investors, this place ain't the melting pot. We aren't making flesh metal here, and we're not making cookies either. Though I do like baking cakes on their birthdays though! And I can make a mean wedding cake if need be as well! But really, there's not much money to be made here. It's a prison, what would you expect? So I'm sure you're wondering why you should put money in here? The answer, is power. Sure, most political prisoners are best used for ransom. But a prison with only one entrance and no real exits? You could fill this place with your enemies! Still not convinced? Oh. Ok. Check your email. Now. Yeah, you see that. I'm sure the police and your significant other would just love to see that. How old are they, by the way? Eh, it doesn't matter. I just keep the prisoners here, not directly put more in. You know how much I'll need. This has been your warden; I do hope you have a nice day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The End Goal? According to the Warden himself, the only way off of Black Moon is through the “Employee Salvation Escape Pod.” This pod however, is kept in one of the few areas prisoners are unable to reach, the Warden’s office/living quarters. Separating the warden’s quarters from the rest of the prison are four barriers. One is a plasma field powered by an unknown generator, which would need to be deactivated in order to breech. The next is a mightily vault like door made out of a metal like substance that has yet to be identified. This barrier would need to be melted through, since the only way to open it is from the inside. The third door can only be unlocked by an eight-digit pass code. Inputting the wrong code however opens up all of the air locks in the prison, removing all breathable oxygen. The last barrier requires a key, however this one is literally an oak door, and could be easily destroyed with enough force. Inside… Well, only the Warden knows… -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Black Moon Penitentiary, a Role Play for the future, by Okami and Combat Medic. Original Credit and Editing: Okami, Black Moon Penitentiary MK1 Editing and Consultation by TACHIBANA SYLPHYNFORD If you’re reading this, then congratulations, you were able to sit through my written insanity. That, and you might just be interested in joining this Role Play. Honestly, I never thought an outer space prison Role Play would be my grand entrance to Pokémon Reborn’s Role Play sub forum, but here I am. Now, first things first, this isn’t a directly Pokémon based Role Play. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I felt obliged to point that out. Secondly, this is not meant to be a serious RP. When I mean that, I don’t mean I don’t want effort put into it, I mean this is meant to be a dark comedy/action based one. So if you’re looking for Edgelords in Space, you’ve come to the wrong place. This Role Play takes place in the spacefaring future obviously, so by this time, humanity has discovered many other sentient races. Most of these races were friendly, and invited the humans to join into a galactic alliance. Now, humans can be found all over the galaxy, with Earth still standing as their home world. Pretty typical stuff here, but to summarize, Black Moon can hold humans, aliens, and everything in between. Now it wouldn’t be very gentleman like of me to flat out say anything goes for this RP. So instead, I’ll rephrase it. In this RP, you’re allowed to use humans, aliens you’ve made up, or aliens other people have made up. When I say this however, I’m not saying I want to see Chewbacca imprisoned here for littering, but nothings stopping you from using Wookie. Just try to make it “fit” into this universe. I want people to have fun with this RP, and if your opinion of fun is playing as a space dwarf, well, all the more power to you. Boring stuff time, but rules are rules. If this idea takes off, I want all people involved to follow SOUP. Your Spelling and grammar should be readable and understandable. Your Opinion and other ideas should be put on the OOC page, which is where I think people generally put their skeletons I believe. YoU also are required by me to have fun, and not point out how I cheated in making SOUP work. Finally, you need to realize that this is both Practice for me, since I’ve never done a RP on Reborn before, and am a little scared so have Patience. I guess that’s about it. If you’re interested, feel free to let me know. If you’re not could let me know why with constructive criticism. I’d be able to make a better one next time that might suit you more. Any and all questions and comments would be fantastic, since it gives me something to do. As for me and Okami, we’ll be waiting with baited breath. And no, alien Morgan Freeman will not be able to help you escape with a rock pick. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rules 1) First things first, this RP is meant to be fun for everyone, from veteran Rpers to new members to the genre. Please be nice, and try to help your fellow members if they are struggling. 2) Some people get really angsty about proper spelling and grammar. While I don’t want to scare anyone off, trying to read a misspelled mess can be challenging. Just try to type to the best of your abilities, and I’m sure we’ll be fine. I’m not going to saw you’re legs off if you put you’re instead of your. (See what I did there?) 3) Don’t post anything that would get you, or me banned/warning points. Just keep it appropriate. 4) No text talk please. I do have an issue with that. It’s sucks, not sux. 5) A character sheet, or a skeleton as I like to call it, will be attached. Follow it to the best of your abilities, but know that some things will be optional, like abilities or weapons. Use your best judgment. 6) The old rule I used to follow was keep a three sentence minimum when it comes to posts. There will be occasions when this is not available/doable, but for the most part, add some detail. 7) Don’t try to murder other people’s characters unless you are given permission, they are more or less immortal, or you have a chance to take down the Warden himself. The guard robots are free game too, but activating their “hostile sensors” is not recommended. 8) If you have questions, ask away on the OOC page. If you have an issue or an idea, private message me or Okami. 9) Feel free to give suggestions to Okami and I. 10) Please no Metagaming. 11) Elaborating on rule 3, consider this to be PG-13. That’s a safe age restriction. Go light on the alcohol, “adult themes,” and gore. Violence is fine. This is a prison after all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Character Sheet/Sign Up/Skeleton (Items with an asterisk are optional) Name: [First and last, also include any nicknames or aliases] Gender*: [if applicable to your species] Age: [both your literal age and your maturity] Species: [What species you are] Species Description*: [Only required if using a custom species] Appearance: [What does you character look like?] Personality: [A basic description of your character's disposition/alignment] Abilities*: [Any abilities your character has beyond the norm for their species, like cybernetic enhancements] Weapons*: [Any weapons your character carries] Biography: [A description of your character's pre-prison life] Reason for Sentence: [Why your character was sentenced, only the warden knows this] Other: [Anything else you need to share?] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- List Of Accepted Characters Iota- Combat Medic Matty- Okami Scarlet- Adamance Ascendant G'br'sh- TACHIBANA SYLPHYNFORD Bohomus- Sutoratosu --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, not those event Pokemon. I meant the event Pokemon that require you to do events in order to find them. Like most Pokemon in Reborn.

Event Pokemon. Finding a rare Pokemon like this is always a treat in fan games, and would leave a lasting impression for me if they were in the real games.

I threw part of this in Google Translate, and was given a delicious surprise of bad translation.

Can it get taken down, yes. Legally, Nintendo can issue cease and desist to any Pokemon fan game that's made, as much as that sucks. Will it happen? Probably not in the foreseeable future. Uranium was getting a lot of press, like the Metroid Two remake, which basically forced Nintendo's hand in a way. Reborn and Rejuvenation are more obscure that Uranium, so I would't worry for now. It's like worrying about getting hit by a car. It can always happen, but it doesn't do you any good worrying about it in a crazy manner.

Happy Birthday Pocky!

A bit of an update, but expect the Sign Up Page to be up around Wednesday! I can't put too much effort into it at the moment, but I should be able to have one by then! Thank you to everyone whose shown support and/or interest so far, and I hope to see you all there!

I really like the Fennkin line for some reason. Well done!
