Sanctuary Event End!

[bravenewmods]

The Sanctuary event has officially concluded! With the majority of the logs ending in success, the people of Union and their allies were able to drive Gigas out of the city. However, in the process, they discovered a grave secret that the rebels of Sanctuary had hidden when they first requested help. Under the oppressive yoke of Gigas, the people of Sanctuary had begun research into twisted, dark arts: the transformation of humans into puppets to control. While the collective civilizations of the world struggle to decide what to do with the magi of Sanctuary, the people of Union, perhaps, have learned that the world is not as black and white as they would like it to be.

If your threads have not fully concluded and you wish to continue, the mods will thread until they reach a satisfactory end. However, from this point on, you may resume normal IC posting. The ongoing political situation in Sanctuary will not reach a conclusion very quickly; for the moment, the status quo is uncertainty.

With the rescue of Sanctuary, applications for residents of this magical city are now open. Due to the heavy workload, we will not be able to have the full information for Sanctuary up tonight, but effective immediately, two new types of Enlightened are applicable to the game: the Sanctuary-unique Child of Knowledge Unbound and their experimentation subjects, the Homunculi. Information on these Enlightened types and information on the city will go up in our Enlightened and Outside Civilizations info pages within the next 48 hours.

Finally, for their help, everyone who participated in the event will receive an award of one Enhanced Item from the people of Sanctuary. These items will largely be magic-based but you may determine their exact effects. Please post their descriptions below. Additionally, as more and more Enhanced Items are accumulated, we are introducing a limit of three active Enhanced Items at one time, though you may switch them around in separate logs.

Thanks for playing, and we hope you enjoyed this event!

Thank you for the event! It was a lot of fun. c:

Could you give us an example or two of what an Enhanced Item does? I'm drawing a bit of a blank.

[bravenewmods]

Typically they'll have a typing attached to them and can do cool things that benefit from that typing. So for example, a hilt that has the fire typing and can generate a blade of flame, that kind of stuff.

[wishingalone]

Cool! Thank you!

[victimlessdetails]

Isabela will pleasantly saunter up to wherever they're handing out rewards, grab a Dark-type dagger that deals extra damage when used on an unaware enemy, and then sneak off before they realize she was on Mission 10. She's not going to question where this came from or how it was made. Nope.

Rise is declining reward on principle.

[heartandsoul]

Maka will decline to take one aaand thanks for organizing this event, modlets, it was fun!!

[conquerorofwaves]

EDIT: after sleeping on it, changing my mind - he'll pick up a Psychic-type ring that allows him by touch to examine a person's aura to assess their physical and spiritual well-being and create a Light Barrier powered by his own life energy - As long as he knows it wasn't created from the results of necromancy research

[hallacious]

Ishimaru declines the award.

[faithfulflame]

Rei is requesting...after all that nonsense with clothing and disguise in her log? A ring (presumably Dark Typed) that creates an illusionary disguise, similar to Sailor Moon's Disguise Pen from canon. She's still Rei underneath it, and sounds like Rei, so it's limited to her knowledge and gender.

Yuuna will, despite her best moral judgement, request a Dark-Type talisman/necklace to shield her mind from psychic control type things...like Void's Hideous Laughter.

Yukiko declines any reward, unwilling to accept anything from icky necrodouches.

Lucca: does this. And then requests a sponge.

[wishingalone]

Mami will request a Fairy-type little amulet called a Soul Gem (...heh heh) that can restore the PP of her attacks if she draws upon it, but it has to be recharged by keeping it out in the sunlight for awhile.

Estelle will get a small yellow-brown gem built into a metal bracer, which is a Ground-type thing. She can cause a minor earthquake by punching that arm into the ground, now.

[footprints_on_your_face]

Chie will be getting enchanted Fighting type shoes that confer the effects of the Pure Power Pokemon Ability when worn, doubling her attack power for physical attacks.

Merrill will be getting Steel type magically reinforced robes that will remove her natural weakness to the Steel type when worn.

[child_of_luv]

Minako isn't sure if she trusts the items after what she's learned, so she will politely turn them down without explaining why, simply thanking them for the offer and giving some story of how she was just glad to help them overcome Gigas (which is true!).

Duo will be getting a long pole-like weapon that he can funnel his Dark type energy through to create a energy-based scythe blade on the end of. (This will be replaced by the one he can later generate on his own after he evolves.)

[lunchleader]

After much deliberation between himself and his Pokemon, Right will accept a pendant necklace that will will make him immune to gaining the Poison status as long as he's wearing it. Just the status, not any Poison attacks. He'll be calling it Anti-Venom.

[punchesyu]

A pair of kunai that are much larger than normal, and when he clangs them together casts Metal Sound at the target. (He'll be keeping his other kunai he got from Ezreal too as backups!)

[untalented]

Waver takes nothing fancy, as he has already gained more than enough to think about. All he is some damn fine tea to process everything with.

[radeonthecity]

Domri will grab a Psychic-type cool-looking glowing rock that allows the target Pokémon or Enlightened to immediately use a move they know normally, even if it's out of PP, they're on a recharge turn, they're locked into using a different move, or the move is Disabled. Being frozen or paralyzed will still prevent the use of the move, but the sleep status will be cancelled when this is used. Presumably there's some limitation that prevents it from being spammed throughout a fight.

Banzu will pick up a Fire-type ring that causes Fire-type moves to be neutral when used against the wearer, regardless of normal weaknesses or resistances. Unfortunately it will do nothing to eliminate his Steel-type weakness to naturally occurring hot summer weather. It can also be used as a lighter.

[tagteams]

After tons of thinking, Quinn receives an Fire-type ring that grants immunity to the cold, removing her natural weakness to Ice when she wears it.

Rin gets a Grass-type ring that soothes sinuses, making her cat Pokemon fur allergies minor/more tolerable when she wears it. She will get some small sneezing and such, but nothing too serious when she wears it.

[commissionergrump]

Gordon, despite misgivings about our new 'friends' is pragmatic enough to take a Steel Type version of his usual jacket. Basically something to confer the resistances while worn, you know, provided the attack hits the JACKET before hitting him. Good news is it's a long jacket.

[toxicrevenger]

Pamela picks up a pair of Dark type gloves that grant immunity to Psychic type attacks. She's not entirely comfortable with taking something made by Sanctuary, but it also isn't fair to judge the entire city by what may very well be a small minority of researchers.

[allergictoloveletters]

(After having discussed it with Rei's mun) Ami Mizuno will (also) receive an item that is at creates an illusionary disguise, similar to Sailor Moon's Disguise Pen from canon. She's still Ami underneath it, and sounds like Ami, so it's limited to her knowledge and gender.

[second_destiny]

Asemu will take a wrist-mounted grappling hook gun. It's imbued with the Steel type, to reinforce the cable, and if Asemu spins the cable rapidly enough, it can be used to deflect projectiles.

[pearltergeist]

Wanders into this post 4 days late with Starbucks BUT

Pearl will politely decline a reward, feeling too uncomfortable with what she's learned and heard over the comms to accept anything.

Bilbo, after a lot of wrestling with his conscience and insisting that he honestly doesn't need any kind of reward, will finally accept a small ring of a dual Dark/Ghost typing that makes him invisible while wearing it. Those of the Dark type can still sense his presence even while he's invisible, however.

[a_gentle_boy]

Lucas will be gifted an odd-looking Poison type rope that seems to have fangs on one end. It sinks into most surfaces and allows him to use it to cross gaps and climb high walls.
