Rocket Missions V.2

[indigo_league]

Welcome, valued Team Rocket member! Pursuing a career in the greatest organization of all time, eh? Well, you're in the right place!

This is the hub where you will find information on all team Missions. As stated in the Code of Conduct, all Rocket agents must be available to accept at least one mission at all times. They won't all be glamorous or exciting, but even mopping floors in one of the bases can lead to greater things! Team Rocket offers work in a variety of fields, with the primary openings being in four specific categories: maintenance, field work, science, and of course, the goal of most aspiring agents, leadership.

Maintenance: Brand new agents will likely be handed these jobs before anything else, as they're the easiest and least likely to result in police attention if you screw them up! They can include things like janitorial and laundry work in the bases, or serving fellow agents in the cafeteria.

Field Work: The most common missions take place in the field! Theft (whether it's as small as shoplifting some Potions or as big as participating in a full-scale heist) falls into this category, as does the simplest available mission, Pokemon acquisition. Anything you do to benefit the team outside of official Rocket premises can be considered field work!

Science: Science mission work mostly takes place out of the public eye, in official Rocket laboratories. The perfect field for more technically-minded agents, these jobs can include anything from pioneering new technology to experimentation on Pokemon themselves. Or it can be as dull as data entry. Grab a lab coat and see what you get!

Leadership: Getting sick of sharing those dorms? How does a private helicopter sound? Agents with lofty aspirations and a good work ethic may advance through the ranks and claim authority for themselves, earning swanky privileges, and more underlings to boss around than you can shake a stick at. This isn't to say that higher status doesn't come with its own responsibilities-- "Privates" and "Betas" are still expected to accomplish other missions (though usually not the maintenance ones-- that's grunt work), and even "Alphas" will usually work in the field. 'Leadership' jobs can even include tasks that just happen to require both specialized skills and a certain amount of trustworthiness to the Team. The main difference is tackling missions from an organizational, independent-thinking standpoint rather than just following orders-- YOU'RE the boss now!! Go put the fear of Arceus in some new recruits!

Rockets on Duty

NOTE: Team Rocket members who have not requested a specific mission (either listed or individual) will be considered on Pokemon-collecting duty and will not appear on this list.

CARLY NAGISA (Retired character)

STATION: Two Island

JOB: Intelligence Gathering, Base Establishment

NOTES: After successfully mapping the Whirl Islands, Team Rocket was more than happy to approve of Carly's requested reassignment to the Sevii Islands. After their first failed attempt at establishing a presence on the islands, Carly's reassignment will hopefully be laying the foundations for new Rocket base in this part of the region.

Vinegar Doppio (epitaffio)

STATION: In the field

JOB: Infiltration / information gathering.

NOTES:Though broadly speaking a group of enthusiastic nutjobs, the Legendary Seekers are still Johto and Kanto's prime hotspot for information on Legendary pokemon. Sure, 95% of it might just be blurry pictures and bull, but it is that 5% Team Rocket is after. Doppio has been assigned to infiltrate the group as a regular member and keep his ear to the ground regarding any rumours about Legendary Pokemon locations, sighting or items related to them. Of course, he will be expected to only report on actual viable leads, and not every blurry picture of someone's Ursaring walking through the forest.

Min-Gi Park (outofsynth)

STATION: Vermilion City

JOB: Squirtle Supervisor

NOTES: There are a very small gang of Squirtles in Vermilion City that Min-Gi's trained up to recruit for Team Rocket within the city and the surrounding routes. For the moment recruitment's all they're doing, but maybe one day there will be more to this. There might also be a minor rivalry between the criminally inclined Squirtles doing it for themselves, and the ones with ties to the Rockets.

REQUESTING A MISSION:

"Hard" missions will only be given upon demand, as they may come with specific instructions and usually require at least a "Beta" rank. On the other hand, "Regular" and "Easy" missions can be picked up anytime by any team members that meet the requirements, if there are any.

Individual, personalized missions (player-determined) can also be requested at any time, and may vary beyond just the 'official' locations above-- the listed missions are guidelines, not restrictions! Get creative-- you may find yourself rewarded handsomely!

Comment here to claim a mission by filling out the form below:

<textarea><big><img src="http://indigo-league.dreamwidth.org/file/101948.png" alt="" /> <u><b>CHARACTER NAME HERE (<user name="USERNAME">)</b></u></big> <dd><li><b>STATION:</b>Write your character's job location here. If they will be working while they are traveling, just write "In the field". <li><b>JOB:</b> List or describe your character's desired job(s). If you want them to be assigned a mission by us instead of choosing one yourself, say so here! <li><b>NOTES:</b> If there's any extra details you'd like us and/or the game at large to know about what your character is doing, include them here!</dd>


REQUESTING A REWARD:

Let no one say that working for Team Rocket is thankless-- those who prove themselves worthy may request all manner of exciting rewards!

Maybe they've been distinguishing themselves by taking charge and deserve to move upward in the ranks, or maybe they pulled off a heist so impressive that Auntie Apricorn wants to give them a rare item from the Rocket vault! The greater the achievements, the better the loot!

Team Rocket has access to many resources and can even, depending on the request, offer rewards that aren't available via other means...

Comment here to request a reward by filling out the form below:

<big><b>CHARACTER NAME HERE</b></big> <dd><li><b>CURRENT RANK:</b> List your character's current rank in Team Rocket. (All characters enter Team Rocket at the rank of "Grunt"). <li><b>REQUESTED REWARD:</b> Note the desired reward for your character's efforts (an item? a Pokemon? special privileges? a hearty clap on the back from Uncle Haban?). If the request is a change in rank, list the rank you'd like your character to upgrade to. <li><b>JUSTIFY THE REWARD:</b> Briefly describe what your character has been doing to earn the requested reward here. Ideally this should involve going above and beyond the basic grunt-work that's already expected of them. Have fun and get creative!</dd>

NOTE: The mods may deny a reward if it's unfeasible or if the character's accomplishments don't match the value of the reward (ie, spraypainting a totally sick burn on the side of the Cerulean City Police Department might get you some brownie points with the admins, but they're not gonna give you a shiny Pokemon for it.) If this happens, we will be happy to offer alternative rewards or suggestions of what it would take to earn the desired reward!

Comments

Slaps this down really late, but listen...shhh....

[amaure]

Emet-Selch (primarily), Lanque Bombyx, Dirk Strider, Steven Durante, Scorpia, Carly Nagisa, Doppio, Risotto, and Hermes

CURRENT RANK: Emet and Doppio are privates, Dirk, Carly and Steven are Beta, Scorpia, Risotto, and Hermes are grunts.

REQUESTED REWARD: Emet would be interested in hidden ability candies, a shiny, or possibly a reusable thunder TM. Everyone else didn't put in for specifics for rewards, so whatever might be suitable for their contribution (money, pokemon, etc).

JUSTIFY THE REWARD: For several months now Emet has had Hythlodaeus breed him Yamask that he would then train and turn into Team Rocket in preparation of the Yamasquerade, though that was only the start. Presenting his idea to the admins, he offered them a solution to the Aurora Champions being present at Prom: make the champions fight each other. From there, he would weasel (sneasel?) his way into Riegfried and Soy's good graces, securing his involvement with Prom that they were gracious enough to host. After a lot of work and concentrated effort, he was able to make ~magic masks~ via psychic Pokémon energy imbued into them. This would disallow anyone to remove the masks, recognize other people, and likewise they could not be recognized themselves.

His involvement with the planning of prom then allowed Team Rocket an in; grunts and other native members could pose as caterers and event staff so they could take advantage of the distraction the Yamasquerade would prove to be. Though not all guests went to the event, a fair many did, and when the signal was given, they were stuck dealing with those of whom were possessed by the trained Yamask, while otherwise locked within the dance room. With the absolute chaos unleashed, Team Rocket was then able to steal a great many valuables from the mansion of poor Riegfried and Soy, and some few Pokémon as well.

Being one willfully possessed by a Yamask to keep up appearances, Emet did battle the heroes of the event, keeping them suitably busy, as did the others who were of a similar predicament. This would afford Team Rocket the cover necessary to deliver valuables to the clandestine drop locations to be smuggled back to headquarters. In an effort to make this as authentic as possible, Emet allowed his own Pokémon to be stolen from him after the showdown (with the intention they would be returned to him.)

As for the other Rockets, while they did not play as big of a part in this heist, they did have a hand in helping the event.

Carly for instance played the part of The Drunk Girl at the party, and purposefully got in the way of the trainers who were trying to combat any Rockets or the Yamask'd—doing everything possible to be a distraction and inconvenience to any heroing that was to be done.

Lanque had left the ballroom early, and stole Claudia's unsold Pokémon eggs she left in her room, while likewise grabbing as many valuables as he could...of reasonable size. Honestly, he mainly went for items that were either jewelry or anything that looked to be made of silver/gold that could be resold or melted down.

Dirk stole a good few of Riegfried and Soy's Prized Vivillions and any decorative "trash" they had around.

Steven sent two of his Pokémon to steal enough valuables to fill a large bag, while he pretended to be on the good guys side battling the possessed, but before that he had pocketed a handful of smaller valuables to likewise turn in.

Scorpia aimed to steal Pokémon related things (stones, TMs, etc) and turned in a Scatterbug egg (which was given to her but shh), and otherwise attempted to be an obstacle for anyone going after the Rockets who were looting.

Risotto stole tacky looking items, which may vary in value, but they're rich people so anything they have is pretty tacky and likely costly. So, sorry if Team Rocket didn't want some atrocious looking lamp, or some other hideous trinket, it apparently called to Risotto.

Doppio likewise took as many valuables as he could grab, but also attempted to steal some rare Pokémon from either native guests or R&S's mansion itself.

Lastly, Hermes stole anything that looked expensive and he could pocket, even some things he couldn't. Ever tenacious, he took some expensive pieces of furniture that weren't too horrible to remove from the premises. Hopefully that gauche foot stool is exactly what one of the admins wanted?

In the end, Team Rocket made off with a sizable chunk of valuables, hideously expensive...rich people junk, and Pokémon!

[indigo_league]

Emet receives exactly what he asked for: a reusable Thunder TM and a Hidden Ability Candy! He also receives a shiny..... PROMOTION. That's right, Emet-Selch is officially a Rocket Beta!

Everyone else receives a cash bonus proportionate to their haul, which is basically pennies compared to all the money the admins raked in from their loot, but that's how a hierarchy works.

Dirk and Emet-Selch, however, are also handed a bunch of recruitment materials to try and actually bring Hythlodaeus onto the team. This isn't the first time this guy has been part of a profitable heist, and the Admins would like to profit off of him more often.

Anyway.

Congratulations, Emet!
