Event Info and Signups!

[bravenewmods]

The event has begun! The initial stage of the event will be a general mingle as people react to the earthquakes. You may use the IC post as a mingle log or create your own posts within the community if you wish. The second portion of the event will begin Tuesday, April 14th and will consist once again of a more exploration-based log as the citizens of Union descend into the crevices that have opened within the earth. The log will run for a week, and the event in general will conclude a week from Tuesday. As usual, we will be asking you guys to plot together to form groups of 4-6 and sign-up in this post here. Each group will face a different scenario that will challenge their ethics and beliefs concerning their world.

Note: Due to the mechanics of this event, characters will be temporarily losing the ability to access their Enlightened abilities if they choose to participate in the second portion!

Note 2: The power loss will apply ONLY to characters participating in the logs.

We will also be having a randomization option for groups. This will close Monday, April 13th so that we can roll the groups and allow time for plotting. Sign-up for randomization is here.

Finally, Dream World will be open this week. This week’s Dream World Pokemon is… a mystery! You’ll have to roll it if you want to see what it is! If you're new to the game and you don't know how Dream World works, please see the question on the FAQ page!

Does the losing access to Enlightened Abilities affect the Far From Ordinary ability's bonus number of Pokemon?

[flying_chains]

So there was mention on plurk that Gods of War will NOT be losing their abilities underground like everyone else will, but that...their pokemon will be getting stronger?

[bravenewmods]

God of War characters will lose their powers like everyone else, but their personal Pokemon will be strengthened considerably to compensate for them only having 3.

[bravenewmods]

Far from Ordinary characters will retain their full loadout, although the 7th Pokemon may need to be kept hidden for reasons that will be revealed during the event.

Re: Questions

[expertonshutters]

How does that effect flying types that have wings or any enlightened/enhanced with physical changes that comes with their abilities?

[frozenflame]

Signing up Team Icy-Hot.

Lucas, Yukiko, Mitsuru, and Eiji.

...seriously...it's a couple of cold people and healers.

[creamsouda]

To what extent are people losing those abilities? For instance, are they being reverted completely to normal humans? Will shifters lose the ability to shift, or people with types the access to those types?

[bravenewmods]

The physical changes will be removed and they will appear completely human.

[frozenflame]

Thank you.

[bravenewmods]

Complete reversion to normal humans. Shifters will have the choice OOCly of being a Pokemon or Human, and will be stuck in that form for the duration of the log. If in Pokemon form they will retain the ability to speak the human tongue, but this may cause some problems if done indiscreetly.

[sparkofgenius]

Additional question: Will Enhanced Items function?

[expertonshutters]

OH BOY

[creamsouda]

Whoa, sweet! Thanks for the quick answer.

[bravenewmods]

No they will not. However, they may take somewhat different forms that will mimic the Enhancement in some way or another.

[sparkofgenius]

Is this something to be revealed later? Or should I plan for something like Lucca's gun to actually be an actual zappy science gun instead of Poke-magic?

[bravenewmods]

This will be revealed later but you're generally on the right track with what will happen.

[footprints_on_your_face]

Chie, Morgiana, Lucca, Estelle, and Sinbad will be forming a group.

[brandnewshoes]

Time for them to earn their keep...!

[lunchleader]

Will the loss of one's Enlightened Ability affect a character's moves list? Can they still use them, or not?

[schmott_guy]

Morgiana is set but Gil is going to be staying on the surface, helping with repairs to the city. He probably needs someone to stick with him and make sure he doesn't get distracted by trying to turn an elevator shaft into a rail gun.
