EVENT: NOVA CITY SHUT DOWN

THIS EVENT HAS ENDED.
PLEASE CHECK THE CURRENT EVENTS STICKY POST FOR THE CURRENT EVENT.


Nova City needs your help!
THE EVENT TO OBTAIN FIRST KEY PENDANT TO OPEN NEW ARCHWAY STARTS NOW!
QUICK LINKS: NPC Post | Questions | New Archway Information | Activity Check-In


The lights of Nova City have just shut off! It's time to call the electric compan-- what's that!? The devices don't work in Nova City either? No phone service, no electricity, no nothing? The entire city seems to have shut down. There seems to be some kind of field generated around Nova City, hugging the barrier that's normally there. (It's the little spoon.)

There's no indication what it's a result of, but the entire city is in danger! There's looting going on and general mass hysteria amongst the NPCs. Nova City needs the world of Genessia's residents to help save the city.

What's Wrong: A key pendant has found its way into the core of Nova City's power generator. The electrical field that normally sustains the city has gone haywire.

In order to retrieve the pendant, the generator needs to be shut down. To do that, it will require at minimum someone with technical skills (to override the program and power down the generator), a couple people with fighting skills (to fight security robots), and someone with skills breaking into places (the entire building appears to be locked down and sealed. Breaking in will result in a battle if the alarm is set off). The power plant itself seems to still be somewhat active, robotic security guards actively guarding the generator. Characters are likely to encounter physical battles with a number of combat-ready robots

NAME: K-911 WARRIOR
APPEARANCE: Click
ABILITIES:
Lick (Tongue shoots out of mouth at long-range, like a frog. May Cause Temporary Paralysis. *Always first attack used.)
Bite (Physical damage)
Lightning (Electrical Shock Attack)
Guard (Defensive move)
DIFFICULTY: Easy. High Speed.
RARITY: Common, All Areas

NAME: KNIGHTVISION DROID
APPEARANCE: Click
ABILITIES:
Sight (Analyzes Weaknesses of Enemy to enhance its own attack. Always uses this attack first.)
Laser (Targeted attack. Fires a high-powered laser at its enemy for physical weaknesses.)
Elemental Burst (In case of elemental weakness, the security guard is equipped with 4 different firing types- a high-powered water jet at pressures akin to fire hoses, a flame thrower, a boiled mercury stream for mineral-based weaknesses, and remote control of floor panels that launch high-pressured amounts of air beneath its enemies feet to knock them off of their feet.)
Gridlock (Electrocutes the floor, taking itself out in the process. It is only used as a final attack.)
DIFFICULTY: Medium.
RARITY: Common, Inner Generator Area

NAME: The "Little Buddy"
APPEARANCE: Click
ABILITIES:
Block Path (Literally moves in the way of your path, making it impossible to move forward.)
Sedate (If you step over it, it will shoot out a spray that absorbs through fabric and skin, quickly putting intruders to sleep.)
Berserk Mode (If the first two attacks fail, it will go into berserk mode and physically attack relentlessly until broken. This includes punching, jumping on the intruder, pulling hair, biting-- basically totally intense rapid robot attack. Eye lights turn red during this attack.)
DIFFICULTY: Hard, VERY high defense.
RARITY: Uncommon

NAME: AI4700 DESTROYER
APPEARANCE: Click
ABILITIES:
Active Combat (Learns enemies moves as they use them and adapts using environment. Uses enemies moves against them as well as environmental advantages and attacks. AI interface allows for adaptive and intelligent combat. The AI4700 uses military grade weaponry, lasers, electricity, plasma fields, and a high-flexibility joint interface to dodge attacks and move quickly to destroy all enemies. Will continue fighting until the 1/2" diameter core is destroyed (located at the center of the stomach area).)

Disable (3 uses, Disables all external weapons in a single room that use mechanics using an electrical blast to melt parts of the mechanics to prevent function.)

Field: Pyramid (Traps user in a field similar to the one covering the city in the shape of the pyramid. Prevents movement and attack outside of a 3' field. Attacking within the field may harm the intruder. Attacking from outside is the only way to break the Pyramid. Must use carefully placed friendly fire to free your party member. If all party members are apprehended with this, the battle is lost.)

Field: Swarm (A swarm of microbots appears to attack an individual during the fight. Microbots only fire small lasers, but there are roughly 100 in a swarm. Can only be used on one combatant at a time.)
DIFFICULTY: High Difficulty.
RARITY: Boss Battle

Use this post to plot, as it will require teamwork!! Teamwork will be a must for this event! If anyone attempts to remove the key pendant without shutting down the system, it will kill them (regardless of their abilities) due to specific power and aspects of the key pendant. Please note that all key pendant events will be different, so if your character doesn't seem like they would be able to help in this one, there will be vastly different types in the other archways once this one is completed.

How this will be solved and how long it lasts will be up to the players, as the actual problem will not go away until players overcome it. ICly, it should be planned out to about a week or two, as we don't want to block off the entirety of Nova City for months due to backdating, but the exact amount of time is up for player discussion. The character who gets to keep the pendant is the one who retrieves it from the generator, though from there it's in play at player discretion. All characters who go to the power plant will receive a charm for participation.

So their communicator devices don't work inside of Nova City at all?

Izumi here is now officially part of Kazuya's Tekken Force, and would be helping maintain order in the city even if that means using some force. So any player characters looking to take advantage of the chaos and start more trouble, or help regain the peace could bump into her!
have_hat_will_travel: (Cute!)

[personal profile] have_hat_will_travel 2015-04-18 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Pidonus might be fun to toss at Izumi - her plan basically consists of 'use the chaos to steal All The Things'. She'll flee easily, though.

Sounds good to me! They don't have to fight, but a chase sounds like fun.

Eas would be very happy to use all the chaos as an excuse to cause even more misfortune!

Odds are she'll be out and about turning random items into large monsters to freak people out more. She could use her abilities to power up some of the random security machines as well.

...Anyone want to go a round with a dark magical girl?

Koishi will undoubtedly be working under the direction of Satsuki and likely have the role of psychically calming large parts of the city and providing general support. Though this depends on what Satsuki is doing :3

David here is going to be heading in to try to fix things if anyone wants to join up with him to go.

Tossed up a network/telepathic message for him too.

Chihiro might be someone useful to take along with you (You know the whole overriding a program is something a programmer can probably do.) He doesn't live in Nova City but he likes the place damn it, so he'd always be happy to help.
rulerofme: (Default)

[personal profile] rulerofme 2015-04-18 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
If Chihiro doesn't mind coming along, then David will take him! He's definitely not going to turn down help. At least as long as the person isn't on his bad side.

[personal profile] the_roseblack 2015-04-18 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Roseblack is willing to help out if he needs someone to take command of the combat side of operations (or just a sub-team)
rulerofme: (Default)

[personal profile] rulerofme 2015-04-18 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
He'd welcome any help from her! She can handle the combat. Or the combat sub-team if they get enough people.
the_roseblack: (Default)

[personal profile] the_roseblack 2015-04-19 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
\o/ whee~!

A lot of her abilities are oriented toward leading a group so the more people under her command the better :D

David ought to be great for coordinating multiple teams and of course for his own combat abilities. Is he up for taking orders during fights or too independent for that?
rulerofme: (Default)

[personal profile] rulerofme 2015-04-19 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
If she tries to order him around, he'll point out that he isn't under her command and that they are working together and not one for the other. But if it's a choice between ignoring what she tries to get him to do and someone getting hurt, he'll listen enough to deal with the situation then he'll point that out to her.

But he sees his own role as helping to coordinate, being transport and helping to safe guard their Tech to where they need to be to shut down the generator. He also plans to remove the object from the generator and to stay there while its powered back up to contain the blast if it happens to explode or anything.
the_roseblack: (Default)

[personal profile] the_roseblack 2015-04-19 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
ah yeah don't worry, she's not gonna start randomly shouting orders at people not officially under her command unless it's important. Was thinking more along the lines of she'd ask ahead of time to be in charge during any fights, since trying to figure out a chain of command during a battle is suicidal :p

Haller being operating mostly-independently and being comms officer is pretty much what I expected (it sounds like he's pretty much gonna pull some kind of mindnet thing sorta like Miss Martian usually does in Young Justice?)
rulerofme: (Default)

[personal profile] rulerofme 2015-04-20 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
In that case, yeah. He wouldn't have a problem with it. She can lead the battle all she likes! He's also going to refer to her as Rosy. So he hopes she doesn't have a problem with that.

That's pretty much what he'll be doing. Link everyone's mind so they can communicate as fast as possible. He knows it helps the flow of battle to have that kind of linkage.
the_roseblack: (Default)

[personal profile] the_roseblack 2015-04-21 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
does he even know the "Roseblack" nickname, though, unless he mindreads her? :V
whatever, do it

well, that'll be convenient! :D
rulerofme: (Default)

[personal profile] rulerofme 2015-04-21 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Only if you are are cool with that! Otherwise it can be just because of the hair.

Yep! It's not an uncommon thing for psychics to do.
the_roseblack: (Default)

[personal profile] the_roseblack 2015-04-21 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
The nickname could be plausibly known in Genessia, since she briefly had a castmate who used it publicly at least once before disappearing. Or David can find it out through psyker shit vOv

Sooooo, I should backdate her IC Intro all the way to last Thursday / the 9th of this month, but Nanoha would be glad to jump into this. 8D

She's the ace of aces in her canon, when it comes to fighting skills, but Disable from those robots would make her intelligent magical girl device Raising Heart be out of use for as long as it lasts... If she goes to meet them, that is. Though RH can also warn about any danger before they even see it because she has those skills too (and we'd be here all day if i try to list all she can do) but mostly Nanoha would use her for fighting and flying here!

She's also great at calming people down, she's not a captain and combat instructor / tactical trainer in canon for nothing if anyone needs that.

Adeline can handle fighting and could, in a pinch, take care of technical duties (thought it'd be fifty/fifty at best because "WHY IS EVERYTHING SO BACKWARDS? CAN'T YOU JUST USE SENSIBLE THAUTERMAGICAL TECH LIKE EVERYONE ELSE?"). She's also physically tough and with the monk training and various dragony traits attached to her, she'd be a good tank.

If no one is interested in having her help/getting dragged along by her because bored and ADVENTURE!, she'll probably get involved in keeping the peace in the city/fighting Eas' monsters.

[personal profile] the_roseblack 2015-04-18 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
good at fightan you say?
how does she feel about taking orders? /gendoupose
spacedragonmonk: (Proud)

Re: Plottan

[personal profile] spacedragonmonk 2015-04-18 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
She tends to cock off and may do her own thing if she doesn't like or respect the person ordering her around (especially if they try to just be an order giving asshole or are religiousy about it) but appeals to doing things the smart way. Mainly because she knows she's impulsive so if someone can point her impulsiveness in a viable direction, she's all for it. But yeah, its not gonna be easy to get her to listen right off; dragon heritage and general impulsiveness tend to do that.

Oh and hey there other dragonblooded :V

:p

Well, it is the friggen Roseblack, aka Terrestrial Julius Caesar aka Not Kuvira, so her general-ing skillz should be pretty easy to notice IC if that's all Adeline needs to be willing to take direction :V

Or she can always blow a few motes on Presence Excellencies if that's what it takes huehuehue

(btw are you familiar at all with Exalted lore and/or mechanics?)

what the hell is "space" is that some kind of wierd word for Yu-Shan? And Gaia's not one of the Maidens she's a Primordial >:|

Well I mean I've built a starting Abyssal that can replicate everything Raiden does in MGR:R straight out of chargen so yeah ~Solaroids~. And that was straight RAW even (usually my groups at least houserule you get 1 free perfect defense cause you just die in the first fight if you don't take one)

babby solar would be ~emperor of genessia~ within a week

Guardian-General Tepet reporting in!

[personal profile] the_roseblack 2015-04-18 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ejava will lend her combat and general-ing skills to any fighty group that wants her. Aside from magical wuxia fightan skillz she can buff people under her command (and protect them from her own AoE debuffs/damage), so she'll be most useful leading at least a subteam, but she won't insist on being at the very top of the chain of command.

I'm a little canon-blind (but am in an Exalted/WoD hybrid campaign at the moment, so learning stuff slowly). Am I the only one who thinks a Midboss+Ejava teamup has the potential to be quite cool?

haha that's k I haven't played Disgaea so we're even :p

She's apparently taking charge of the combat side of David Haller's group and they're accepting any volunteers so as long as Midboss is willing to take orders he's in Vyers seems like a biiiit of a prima donna, you know? :p or they can always just happen upon each other while both fighting robots~

You shooouulllld :D Not sure how Tepet'd feel if I did bring in my baby Solar after the campaign's done with though.

Yeah, Midboss is happy to play along, so we'll see how the thread goes. He's not even a bit of a prima donna, he's a massive massive drama queen.

No! No Solars in Gen! ...I already thought of that and decided to limit myself to a Terrestrial XP

for real though my first idea of a character to app, who I ofc. never actually seriously considered, was fucking Desus aka "more of a glorious golden DICK than Gilgamesh and Dio Brando combined"

and even for a nice guy Solar like Swan or someone, those fucking social Charms don't play well with rules-free RP... nor all those perfect attacks... and cheaper actually-perfect perfect defenses...


no entire faction currently in Gen scares Ejava like a single Ess 2 babby AnathemaSolar would :V

or, you know, do it, but then I might have to bring in, say, Iolithae Septimian :p

EDIT:
Oh yeah and yup Disgaea is on my list of media to hopefully get around to consuming at some point or at least watch a letsplay or something

Zoisite is intrigued by these robots and may consider trying to use the chaos to further his revenge on the Sailor Guardians. Even if Venus is apparently not the Venus he fought. And I volunteer him to go to the power plant.

Midboss'll be happy to get involved. He isn't likely to take command, but if anyone needs a big gun to either be a distraction or come in out of nowhere and help the fight, he's your demon.

That or if you need someone to come in looking all big and impressive and then fall flat on his face. He's rather good at that too.
