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!

CHARACTER NAME HERE Min-Gi Park & Asa Mitaka (Ft. Carly Nagisa)

CURRENT RANK: Grunt, Grunt, Alpha

REQUESTED REWARD: Min would like Leftovers, Zoom Lens, or something like that. Asa would like a Pokémon, please! Carly isn't asking for a reward since she just here to advise and make sure they don't fuck it up.

JUSTIFY THE REWARD:

Min and Asa are still very baby when it comes to crime, so while this is definitely their mission, they have consulted with Carly for support and advice. As neither of them are very experienced in battle yet, nor do they have very powerful Pokémon, this is a mission of stealth as much as possible. In the case of an absolute disaster they are both equipped with Escape Ropes and will not be hanging around to try and fight their way out of the situation.

The target is one of Viridian's battle clubs, and they are timing it take place during the tournament battles so they can maximise chances of avoiding confrontation. Before anything else, Asa's Dreepy, along with Min-Gi's Dreepy-shaped Ditto will be scouting out the location. Being both tiny and ghostly should give them a pretty good edge in checking out security measures, entry points, and item locations, as well as making sure the place they want to rob is actually empty.

They would ideally like to get in without causing damage/drawing attention to themselves, so in the unlikely event there is an open window or anything like that they'll take that option. If not... well, lock picking a relatively well obscured entrance it is. If there was still someone home, they should be aware of this and Asa's Glameow knows Hypnosis. It will use this to buy them the time they need to carry out the robbery.

Inside, they hopefully won't have too much trouble finding/accessing what they want thanks to Yoru and Camo locating them in advance. They are primarily aiming to take held items, or healing items like potions/revives. They have talked to Carly about what's rare and/or valuable, so they will be doing their best to prioritise stuff like that.

Where possible they will be using lock picking to get to anything that's locked away, but they have Croagunk and Prinplup to brute force anything they can't access through more subtle means.

From there it's a matter of taking as much as they can and getting out of there as fast as possible. Even if everything has gone exactly as planned it's still a safer bet to use the Escape Ropes, so that's their exit strategy.

[indigo_league]

For their success, Min-gi receives that coveted Zoom Lens, and Asa receives an adotable yet surprisingly criminally-compatible Emolga, level 10!

And for her role, Carly receives a non-literal pat on the head.
