Rocket Name: Steven Durante Rocket Rank: Beta Requested Reward: I mean, his big goal is to eventually make Alpha, whether by doing something big and showy or by just continuously putting in quality work for the Team. When it comes to rewards he'll probably mention that while he has no pressing wants at the moment beyond a surfeit of money and whatever the Team wishes to provide him with, he'd like it if they remembered his good work here for when he has been here long enough to be promoted. (And speaking of promotions, he'll likely put another good word in for his protege, Scorpia.)
(OOC: A shiny, reusable TM, or battle item are all lovely reward items, though.)
Plot interactions: So! Pre-heist stuff is basically going to have to be handwaved, but mostly Steven went in hard for planning and logistics in the weeks leading up to this. Did he have to do some telecommuting for it due to inheriting Fight Club just as the Christmas Heist planning went into action? Yeah, he did. But he damn well threw himself into the planning of shit. He even drew charts.
During the Market heist itself, he was one of the higher ranked Rockets who was coordinating the grunts and privates on the ground. For this they'd equipped him with an earpiece, a mic and some high tech binoculars and he spent a lot of the heist perched up on a metal awning where he could see most of the market and directing the ebb and flow of the privates and grunts throughout, using a private Rocket communications frequency.
Unsurprisingly, a few Trainers did end up climbing up to his perch to bother him and distract him from his job, most notably Armin, Kirishima and Chip... the last of which he returned to their father once he soundly defeated the kiddo in battle. He also might have abducted a mysterious superhero via his Xatu in order to question him.
Besides that, Steven came down from his perch a couple times to aid various other Rockets who'd come into trouble... or in one case to investigate a very suspicious personage. He distracted Shiro so that the Rockets that Shiro had been menacing could run away, he helped Jules get free of his sweater prison while doing some looting on the side, and then he confronted Claude about his sneaking around in Rocket disguise. Oh and he tried to recruit the other Rocket impersonator, since that one was actually helping the team.
Although theft wasn't his primary objective, he did what looting he could when coming down from his perch for various reasons, stuffing it into various pouches and eventually a sack.
