MISSIONS | March 2014
Greetings, Tushanites!
March 1st happens to mark a new phase of gameplay here in the wonderful world of turtles and we need you to make it work! Below, there are five missions. Please read them over carefully and then fill out the textarea form at the bottom. There is an element of randomization here but players can also submit missions for pre-formed groups of their own choosing! Part of expanding the known realm of Konryu, we've updated and expanded our Setting page to include 8 new continents which are going to be gradually opened for exploration and development, which you'll start to see coming in to play in the missions below.
As detailed in our State of the Shell: Missions section, each mission your character undergoes (threaded out with at least ten comments from your character) is worth a credit, and each handwaved mission is worth half a credit. Please note: only missions that you yourself come up with can be handwaved. The 'mod missions' are ones where participation is considered mandatory, as you are filling a limited slot. If we notice a trend amongst any one player of signing up for missions and leaving their mission-mates hanging, we will be speaking with them to determine a suitable outcome.
March is a bit different than what will follow, as this is a new concept and we're trying to put a system in place that works for everyone, so for this month we have five prefabricated missions, so that players can get some understanding of what can be done in the world. If you'll note we also have a comment header where you can suggest the sorts of missions you'd like to see in the months that follow! Feel free to be as succinct or not as you please, as we'll be basing next month's missions on this feedback.
We also have a comment header for questions. Please don't hesitate to for more information or clarifications... we're new to this too!
This month's planned missions are as follows:
→ SIAXHI (INVESTIGATION)
→ VIAN THAX (RESCUE)
→ TEYRAN (EXPLORATION)
→ GHA'NAL (QUEST)
→ DUST (UNDERCOVER)
Each month, a player can volunteer a character for up to three mod missions. Like other limited space elements in the game, we ask that each player only submit one character from their roster for the mod missions, though their other characters can be submitted for player missions, so long as it's one mission per character per month. To sign up, fill out the information below and choose your top three missions in order of preference. If there are more signups than available spaces for a mission, we will RNG characters into the slots. If your character isn't RNG'd into the first mission, they'll be added to the pool for the second mission, and so on for the third.
Mod missions will be tallied and their participants notified on the 5th of the month @ ~9:00PM EST. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that everyone who signs up a character for a mission will be chosen for one of the mod missions, as it is based solely on the number of signups for each one. In the event that your character isn't chosen for any of your three choices, you can still sign them up for a player mission before 9:00PM PST on the 7th.
Player missions can involve either just your character or a pre-planned group, or even have open signup! Once your mission is approved by the mods, including any clarifications or extra information needed, you're set for playing it out. Remember that the mission can take place at any point throughout the month. For convenience purposes, we've also created the %missions tag in the log comm and we'd be very appreciative if it could be added to mission logs when they get posted.

Taiki is in this quest
He can change forms and fly really fast, he can also phase through solid matter and has a shapeshifting demon who can help!
He would also be totally up for trying to get both, because otherwise it would be cruel. He will also be really mad if anyone tries to hurt them.
My Plurk is damua for plotting purposes, feel free to add me

He is a Kirin and so he cannot commit violence nor condone it, but his shirei (demon bodyguards) will help out. Gohran (the shapeshifter) will help out in the actual fighting part
no subject
He doesn't have any special powers or magic, but he does have his 3 Dimensional Maneuver Gear. If there's at least a bit of rock or cliff around, he can use it to move quickly and efficiently. Also, his cables can be used as harpoons, which can immobilize and pin something down, which may come in handy here!
Thinking up plans to fight big, horrific monsters is a skill he hasn't been able to use in awhile, but it's something he's used to, so he'll be sure to give his opinion on how to catch the beast.
no subject
Reiner has no special powers or magic that he will demonstrate. Technically he has the ability to turn into a 15 meter tall armored monster and to heal crazy amounts of injuries in his human form, but we won't be demonstrating these because he is trying to lay low. He has his Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear just like Armin.
Uh. Two other things that might come up are that he is actually pretty whacked out in the skullpan and has dissociative episodes. His behaviour won't change a whole lot depending on which frame of mind he is in, but it might be inconsistent. Also him and Armin consider each other enemies (though they've got a rocky truce here) for Reiner-has-done-horrible-things-in-his-past reasons.
Also, in regard to the mother and cub situation, Reiner would definitely agree to bringing them both back. It just seems sensible.
no subject
And I will be having Bart nonchalantly tell them he's a Titan. Cause I'm evil.
no subject
Armin is going to suggest he be a meatshield or something. Out of spite. :| REINER, GO TANK. NO WE DON'T HAVE A HEALER. SHUT UP AND TAKE YOUR LUMPS.
no subject
But yeah, probably these two are going to need one private moment away from everybody else to go goddamnit, you.
no subject
WELL THIS IS A FINE PICKLE. At least they're capable of completing missions.

splitting them up seems a good idea! annabeth herself would probably suggest the split up or backup whoever does (distraction vs drug administration)! and i'm down for her on drug duty. she's no bart, but she's canonly one of the fastest people in her own series on top of the whole invisible thing c:
she'd probably also suggest going for the mother first, since it's the bigger threat.
no subject
OH. And I should probably note that, sorry guys, I'm putting him in costume for this, and he'll be introducing himself as Kid Flash. While Bart isn't the most discreet person ever, the power use is probably going to be flagrant. He'd suit up.
no subject
no subject
So yes I like this plan. Other note that one of Taiki's powers is binding creatures (like the shirei) and though it won't work (or at least I am assuming he won't) but he will probably try (especially if they get into trouble)
He will be cool with superheroes though he has not yet met one

and no worries over the costume/identity! he might get an eyeroll from annabeth if only bc sigh these superheroes on the turtle and their secret identities.
