Keys to the Kingdom RP [Information & Signups]

[Flyg0n]

This marks the unofficial soft "conclusion" of this RP, one full week past the projected end date. Not bad honestly, all things considered. I had lots of fun experimenting with this fomat and loved all the characters folks brought!

Thank you all for joining, and for your patience, since it went a little over, hah. Fantastic efforts all around by the players!

I will be posting a retrospective shortly, but as I said, please feel free to have your characters hang around! Characters can try to get some more clarity from Keldeo about his mind state before he was corrupted, or they can get final goodbyes in, or answer any other pressing questions.

When I do post the restrospective I'd very much love for everyone (even folks who didn't get a chance to hang around the whole way through) to give their thoughts! It will help a lot for future missions!

Mission 2: Fading Aria! Free Meloetta!​

[SIGNUPS OPEN]

​

Klefki once again cries out for help from brave souls across the multiverse! After some time, they've managed to open the door to another corrupted realm. This time, it's Meloetta's domain! With Terapagos' and Hoopa's help, they will summon interlopers to purify the suffering legend.

Meloetta is a graceful pokémon who lifts hearts with their song, but their powers have been perverted in unknown ways. Characters with strong ties to music, performance, or who believe in the power of words may feel a particular connection with this mission, but all are welcome!

The format for this mission will be similar to what was seen in the previous run, Errant Sword. This is a straightforward mission that will involve investigation, narrative puzzles, and combat. There are no content warnings besides canon-typical battle violence.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have, remember the general RP codes of conduct in the first post of this thread, and sign up using the template below!

Projected Runtime
May 29th/31st - June 21st

The mission will begin May 29th with a weekend of casual RP, with the plot officially starting June 1st. The goal is for the game to run for three weeks, ending around June 21st.

Signups are open until May 31st!

Character Requirements:

Like the previous KttK mission, there are no particular character requirements this go-round! General guidelines remain mostly the same:

• Legends will be depowered
• Lone humans must obtain pokemon bodies (and will get basic instinctual use)
• Trainers can bring a single pokémon partner; if they do, they don't need a pokémon body. Supernatural human powers (e.g. psychic abilities) will be suppressed for this mission--trainers will want to rely on their pokémon for these things!
• Pokémon will be power scaled so that there isn't a large difference between "weak" species and "powerful" species. This is intended to allow any sort of pokémon to fight on fairly equal footing
• Otherwise, bring whoever you want! You can even devolve your characters as well if you feel like it.

Spoiler: Signups

{GM control? (Yes/No) [This determines whether I'll refer to your character's actions in GM posts, to allow for minor reactions to plot events.
For example: [Thing happens]>Koa raced after the others as the team evacuated, narrowly dodging the hail of dragon fire.
I recommend this but if you’re definitely not comfortable, then don’t worry]

Can't believe the start of the RP will fall on my birthday! A lovely gift.

Lone Human (Turned Pokemon)​

Name: Ichiro
Appearance: Otherwise pretty much a regular houndoom, but has a hair-like mane and two long floppy ears. See embedded image below for an illustration.
Personality: Not very social, but also not meek. Observant and analytical. Haunted by something in his past he tries to keep secret. Not a stranger to violence, but no longer wants to rely on it... unless the situation really calls for it, of course.
Species: Houndoom
Ability: Early Bird
Moves (4): Smog, Bite, Incinerate, Torment
Fic of origin (if any): Who can say?
