  • Welcome, to Theralune.


  • w06iwz.jpg
    Theralune has long been a nation of relative peace. Civil war, rebellion, and crime plague its past, as for any nation, but no great calamities have tarnished its history. However, rumors have been spreading of curious experiments taking place on the northern island of Komiir, home of the ever-tinkering gnomes. They say they've been experimenting with genetic mutations in pokemon, working to create a powerful force to aid in the advancement of Theralune. Unfortunately, the gnomes were not prepared to control what they created and now, word spreads of a mighty beasts ravaging the lands, growing, feeding, and reproducing. It is not yet known what this creature is, but the king of the gnomes has summoned the greatest heroes from across the lands to combine their efforts into tracking it down, and defeating it. There's loot in it for all, but more than that, the threat, if left unmanaged, could mean destruction for all.

    In an adventure of pokemon, high fantasy, and table-top feels, you and your team will work together to stop this mutated beast from overrunning the lands. Play as an elf, a dwarf, a human, or a gnome, and venture out into a world filled with pokemon to track down the mutant and talk some sense into the pesky, meddling royal gnome tinkerers. This isn't a gym-based story, nor is it a classic ten-year-old-on-a-journey tale. No, this is a grand, fantasic adventure. Our story begins, in a tavern, as all the best do.

    Combat is based on a simple level system explained below:
    • Common pokemon can level up to level 10.
    • Rare pokemon can level up to level 15
    • Legendaries can level up to level 20
    • Type advantages add +2 levels to any pokemon, for that battle
    • Type disadvantages remove -2 levels from any pokemon for that battle
    Any pokemon can enter into a battle with a pokemon up to 1 level above it, once all calculations have been done. There are three tiers of battle: easy, medium, and hard. This will be explained using a lvl 5 fire type.
    • Easy: Pokemon BELOW your pokemon's level (ex: =/<4, with advantage, =/<6)
    • Medium: Pokemon at an EQUAL level to your pokemon's (ex: =5, with advantage =7)
    • Hard: Pokemon ONE LEVEL ABOVE your pokemon's. (ex: =/>6, with advantage, =/>8)
    In each battle, the difficulty will indicate which roll you need to be successful. Required rolls are as follows:
    • Easy: =/>5 on d20
    • Medium: =/> 10 on d20
    • Hard: =/>15 on d20
    To go after pokemon of higher levels, such as legendaries, you will need to utilize a teamwork method called "Stacking." This means you utilize numerous pokemon of the same level to gain additional levels for each. For example:
    • Facing a level 15 Legendary with a level 10, no advantage.
      • For each additional level 10, each pokemon gains 1 extra level
      • 1 x lvl 10 + 3 x lvl 10 = +3 levels to each = 4 x lvl 14 pokemon (DOABLE!)
    If numerous players take part in a battle, a loot roll will determine who the pokemon decides to trust. The loot roll will only be preformed by GM's.

    At the beginning of the roleplay, each player may bring with them up to two pokemon. All additional pokemon will be kept at home and may be transferred whenever they so choose, but these transferred pokemon are subject to travel time, leaving the player with a one pokemon deficit for the time of the exchange. As they advance as rangers, players maximum party size will increase.

    Pokemon have up to three evolutions. Those with only two are considered "common pokemon" and evolve at level 5. Pokemon with three evolutions are considered rare pokemon and they evolve at levels 5 and 10. Legendary pokemon do not evolve.
    Common: Max lvl: 10, evolves at lvl 5
    Rare: Max lvl: 15, evolves at lvl 5 and lvl 10
    Legendary: Max lvl: 20, does not evolve


    RANGER ABILITY
    Ranger ability determines the capability of each player as a companion to the pokemon. A ranger with a low ability level won't be trusted or seen as worthy by higher level pokemon. Ranger ability is increased throughout the roleplay via "Ranger Ability Events" which allow the potential of the ranger to increase. If a ranger has a pokemon companion trying to level, the level will be held dormant until the ranger can increase his or her ability. This means that if you cannot increase your ranger ability, you will not lose pokemon levels.
    • RA 1 = pkmn 2
    • RA 2 = pkmn 4
    • RA 3 = pkmn 6
    • RA 4 = pkmn 8
    • RA 5 = pkmn 10
    • RA 6 = pkmn 12
    • RA 7 = pkmn 14
    • RA 8 = pkmn 16
    • RA 9 = pkmn 18
    • RA 10 = pkmn 20
    Each pokemon will begin with FOUR moves in their moveset. At level 5, they gain an additional move, and continue to do so until their peak level, with the exception of gaining two moves at levels 10, 15, and 20.

Well I'm still waiting for the appropriate time for Biron to jump in, aside from that I'm graduating in less than two weeks and have finals to worry about.
 
Sorry, sorry, I literally have not had the time to post for the last few days. Farm stuff, and travel stuff, and absolute exhaustion from both, working on posting now. Also, if I recall correctly @Silver has been busy with school stuff as well, and has been jamming her homework, studying, and everything else into midterms prep
 
I went with the fact my character is pretty hammered to wait a bit before I start talking to others. Especially since it seems you want other characters to talk to the certain npcs, I just feel like I'll be making you wait longer seeing as I've already talked to one and talking to more or other characters would be stalling the scene even more.
 
RT is really busy for me right now. I hope to get something out for you guys soon, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to. Apologies for being so busy. >.<
 
I'm going to move us on tonight. Get the adventure started and from now on, if players don't post before we move on it'll be assumed that your character is just standing around idly lol.
 
That is dwarven on the letter yes? could Biron read it to be sure of its quirks?
 
That's not the letter it's the contract :) but yeah, IRL it's moon runes. IC its dwarven. He could read it. If he chooses to he won't find much beyond a bunch of very wordy rules and restrictions preventing anyone from selling the information and a whole fine print section on what he has the right to in the case of reclaiming the gold after a hero's death. Etc, etc :)

The letter's contents will be PM'd to each player as they read it
 
Okay, so does this last post mean we can't interact with NPC's anymore? Or can we still interact with them while our characters figure out that Evelyn has the...contract? Yea? that's the word I want? Either is fine, just clarifying before I make a post.
 
That was a movement post because nobody was posting lol
 
T_T I'm sorry! *horrible co-gm*
 
I didn't get to gamble :'(
 
*pokes thread* come on guys! This can't die before it even starts!
 
Sorry! I'm in the last two weeks of school so things are crazy, and TODAY my power went out until right now!
 
  • Love

That's alright ailucia, good to have you back :)
 
*pokes thread*

Guys! We are NOT letting this die so soon! What's everyone doing? I apologize for being absent the last few days. My computer completely crashed on me -_- BUT it should be good now. Reinstalled windows and it seems alright so far.
