Sutoratosu Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Can't tell you, soldier. whether or not they actually stay in our possesion is going to depend on your actions later in the chapter. But I'm keeping the Ariados regardless...for the time being. cause we need a way to get private Cannon in and out of the subterran, and Private Carter and Myself are going to get tired of heaving and hoing eventually.

Sutoratosu Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 The man you once referred to as sir took off in a Biplane a few days ago like his name was the Red Baron. If I recall correctly, he had a raichu in the gunner's seat... it was kinda cool to see, actually. ahem, anyways... guess I'm in charge here since he left the door wide open. So... what were you guys working on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murder on the Battle field is somewhat of an easy crime to commit. Neat, huh? Anyways...enough with show and tell- I guess we'll get back to the types. though I've got a bunch of other stuff going on right now, oh so many interesting little things the Sarge just left behind... so yeah, it might take a bit of time. don't worry though, I won't forget, so don't bug me about it... of course... one of you could always take the initiative and start the conversation about the next type in line yourself, just saying, compadres...

K_H Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Kind of like I did with Electric Types, and kind of like what I'm doing right now. Fire is the Type we're going to do now, since I haven't seen any Defense for Fighting suggested yet. WHEN ATTACKING FIRE: ASE: -Ground (One of the best ways to get rid of a fire is to deprive it of oxygen. The best way to do that is to smother it. And soil does that excellently. -Water (You know how this goes. when you throw enough water on a fire, it goes out.) GSE: -Flying (A strong wind can easily put out a fire.) -Normal in the case of Special Moves (Sound that has a low tone and/or a high level of decibels can put out a flame, as proven by the Mythbusters in this video at 13:10-20, 18:28-53, and 20:15-21:05. Since most damaging sound-based moves are Special-Damage dealing Normal-type Moves, that's why i put this here. However, this is only the case for SPECIAL Moves. Physical Moves still do neutral damage.) GNE: -Electric (Both fire and electricity are kinds of Plasmas. logically, they wouldn't be all that effective if they're made of the same stuff.) -Ice (However, if the Fire Type tries countering the move, it's another story entirely, as the Mythbusters demonstrate in this video and this video.) -Photic (See Photic Chart) -Water (Well, Water is extremely difficult (but not impossible) to heat up, when you get right down to it, as we discussed when debating where to put Water on the Photic Chart.) ANE: -Bug (You know how this goes. bugs get burnt to a crisp when they touch fire, so they logically can't do a thing to it.) -Grass (Same as the reasoning above.) -Fire (Things tend to resist themselves, plain and simple.) Immunities: -None WHEN FIRE ATTACKS: ASE: -Bug (See above) -Grass (See above) -Steel (Steel melts at high temperatures, and guess what Fire Types are famous for?) GSE: -Rock (Rocks tend to explode when placed in a fire, so yeah.) -Ice (It's easy to melt ice. plus, they're polar opposites in terms of the Temperature Scale. However, as the Mythbusters demonstrated in this video, if the Ice Type tries to counter, it's a completely different story.) GNE: -Electric (See above) -Water (See above) -Photic (See the Photic Chart) ANE: -Fire (See above) No Effect: -None Edited March 13, 2015 by Trainer Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Alright, I should be able to get back to tending to this soon. At this point Supernovae is officially booted out though- somehow a FEW DAYS turned into a FEW DAMN MONTHS, and I'm past the time period where I said I would wait. so yeah... that's a slot someone else could be using (I think we've got another Maddie situation,) I'll examine this type proposoal later when I have more time. Also, where's murdoc? haven't seen him in this for a while now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutoratosu Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 There... you get to see a glimpse of Mega Evos. their a bit different than the official shit... namely in the fact that after Mega Evoing, a handler and their partner share an actual mental link. Mego Evolving is the ultimate method of combat- it allows for telepathic, nueral link to be established and thus grant seamless non verbal control of one's GAO in the field and in battle, but at the same time it is the most dangerous- for Handler and GAO feel the same pain in this state because of said link. And if either dies, the other will perish as well from the shock of the connection being forcefully severed. There are no exceptions to this rule, not even with Psychic types like Clemont. in other words, for lack of a better description... it's like a mix Warging from Game of Thrones, and the rule of Dragons and Riders from Eragon. (Except you can still move your own body as well. it just takes practice flexing the neural link.) anyways... I'm going to continue including various snipets and mysterious cutaways to other parts of the planet as we go on... and oh the things I will show you of what has befallen most of this world. BTW though- Mega Houndoom is the same size as a GoT Dire Wolf in Surge Story's verse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_H Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Basically, Mega Evolution is a "Soul Link", which is my term for when two individuals partially or completely merge temporarily. It's an excellent manifestation of the old adage "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_H Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Speaking of Type Tables, I'm gonna go on to the Flying Type.WHEN ATTACKING FLYING:ASE:-Ice (you hit something that flies with a chunk of ice, it's gonna get messed up. Additionally, a lot of flights get grounded or are delayed because of freezing rain and/or snow.)-Rock (same reason as Ice, but replacing the Ice with Rocks and also without the weather.)GSE:-Electric (Thunderstorms tend to cause flights to be canceled, and no sensible bird would consider flying around when there's a Thunderstorm, presumably because of how... Shocking it is.)GNE:-Grass (Birds tend to fare well in the forest, so Flying Types are probably resistant to Grass-Type Moves.)-Fighting (If you can dodge someone's Attacks somewhat easily, then either they're going easy on you or they're in for a world of hurt.)ANE:-Bug (pretty self-explanatory.)IMMUNE:-Ground (They can freaking Fly, for goodness sakes! If you're able to completely dodge someone's attacks with ease, then they're in for a whole universe of pain.WHEN FLYING ATTACKS:ASE:-Bug (No need to say anything other than "birds are the natural predators of insects".)GSE:-NoneGNE:-Electric (does this need to be explained, or is it self-explanatory?)ANE:-Rock (see above)-Ice (see above)NO EFFECT:-NoneI'll fix up how this looks when I get to a place where I can, i'm typing on my Tablet ATM.

Sutoratosu Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Enough kenny, you've been a great help in this effort and your work is appreciated, but at this point I'm pulling it back and am just gonna finish the types myself... since it was supposed to be a thing involving everyone in the RP but for a long while it's only been two people (Inlcuding myself in that count) who are actually... discussing it. So, yeah, I'm gonna pre fill out all the charts myself, slap em up here in order and if anyone sees an issue they can voice it. cause at this point, we're just racking up more filler page count in this OOC that has nothing to do directly with events in the RP This will make it go faster because I'm going to do ALL the remaining types before allowing for a public forum debate, so we can literally do three or four at a time and get this done. Also- I have no idea whatever happened to Super, but for some reason I have the very ominous suspicion it wasn't exactly something very good... kinda like a gut thing, IDK... nothing I can do about it anyways though.

Flux Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I was waiting fo Flux to take the lead on this one. I'll get a post up, in that case. To be honest, I haven't been keeping terribly close watch on any RPs lately, including my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 He declared that he was stepping out of RPing altogether, IIRC. was this before or after he said something about leaving for "A few days" and then never came back after several months?

Sutoratosu Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Alright, so let's see my to do list for this... Update for everyone at some point in the near future when something finally strikes me as to what to do... (Yay...) Finish the type charts in private Figure out whether Lionel dies tonight [in Story time] or later on Figure out the manner in which Lionel dies and who will be the culprit... Determine how to kill Clint since obviously super ain't coming back... but preferably in a brutally swift and surprising manner... Kill Enyo too at some point Kill Erick at some point... Kill Ray too..and have surge name his raichu after him. Get us to war finally Introduce the radio... Death Match and end the chapter Also- There's going to be a bit of re-writing going on around here to make things abit more accurate from this point forward with an actual military setting. For example: all Genomic Weapons Specialists are regarded as government property, along with their Units (Just one of the many things pokemans are referred to in a official capacity) and are bound by their contractual obligations and hold no rights outside those alloted to them by basic geniva convention regulations and those explicitly given in their contracts by the US government. this is to be more in accordance with how things actually are in the [uS] military. What this means is- you're ass can be prosecuted for damaging government property if you get a sunburn. And the same thing goes if you kill a Genomic Unit... ... ... ... Nah, lols, just pulling your guys chains XD it's 2060, the world is fucked to shit in most places, mutated, gentically altered superpowered animals and freaks roam the earth in place of plants and animals...and honestly, most of the countries that survived barely have a military at all. so yeah... But in all seriousness, I will be trying to rewrite some of this for the next chapter. Since I don't have jack squat written down about how this world actually is or what's going on aside from what's on here XD. All I know is that America, Canada, China, Russia, and France are the only nations left... You know what... I actually got an idea guys. Like I said, I haven't actually developed this world in depth at all... so If I were to keep this thing right here going, but at the same time go to work building up a new version of this world where things have actually been thought out extensively, would you guys be interested in playing in that Re-Write of this RP? I mean, it's totally up to you all- if you're interested, I'm sure I could work out a New Game+ of sorts where basically you'd be able to easily obtain your current party members again if you wanted (Though, probably in their most basic biological stage) But a re-write could really be beneificial here...for example, things like evolution, moves, leveling, all of that could be properly addressed and some legit systems added to help out more. The one's I've already got are OK, but they could honestly be streamlined a bit... along with a hell of a lot of other stuff here. But yeah, the Re-write version will probably be a bit more post-apocalyptic because... well, the basic premise of this entire story really just screams for it to be honest. And again, If you say you're interested in one, we can still keep this thing here going all the while until it's done- but every change I make from that point on will be going towards Surge Story 2.0 rather than v1. Plus, it could be kinda fun for me... and I could go off the beaten path a little with the whole Mutant War theory and actually throw my own stuff in there, unlike this right here where baiscally I've more or less followed an idea posed by a creepy pasta to the letter... I could finally break away from a damn script Actually... maybe I should just start an interest/ discussion topic about it all like I saw Hukuna do for Graterras... regardless though- I want to see what you all think about this. A re-write would have more original content, such as it's own timeline (Instead of barrowing one from a creepy pasta, like I said above) but would still have a basis in the same premise- Pokemon set up as a near future science Fiction rather than a fantasy, with the story opening at the dawn of a new era- a new era started by the last major war for the foreseeable future... wand our plot... will follow the tale of a squadron of soldiers serving under a man... named Surge.

Flux Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Sounds good to me. Personally, I'd find a -more- post-apocalyptic setting to be a little more interesting. As long as I get my Nidoran and Abra, we're good. One question though: Would we be allowed to use the same character if we decided to, or are we all writing up a new character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 You can re-use the same character, I see no issue with that. Though, they would more or less be in the same state as they were at the beginning of this RP. Hence why I described it like New Game+. You can start with the same PC, but it's all back to square one for them. for those who wish to obtain the same party members, I could likely set up certain encounters early on in the story to allow for you to catch the same species you had in your party (at the most appropiate evo stage for the time though) I figure doing it like this will be fair to everyone, both new players and old. you guys would more or less just already have your PCs and parties already planned out in advance and would be able to easily obtain them. New players... really wouldn't be at a disadvantage- they would just have to come up with their own OCs from scratch and figure out their party as they go along. ((Keep in mind though, since it will be a bit more... yeah, apocalyptic and everything overall, with many nations fallen, you might have to re-write the backstories a little bit to better fit the premise...))

Chim Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I'm all for Surge 2.0 but it might get confusing with this one still running. And since we lost a few players along the way, it may be better to just start over. If that's the case and you start over I might still go with Logan and even give him a backstory this time. And if I do that I just want to keep the Meganium and Walrein evolution lines. If you're going to run both at the same time I'll probably make a new character to avoid confusion on my part. Also if we can make suggestions: I would like to see some extra NPCs in the squad to befriend. In a war not everyone will survive so there's a lot of potential character development by killing those NPCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Starting over completely huh? Well, since we have lost a few folks to thin air... it probably would make it easier to say screw it and start new... Also, the suggestion with the squad is one of the things I'm very likely going to address while re-writing everything. I don't quite know for sure exactly what's going to happen, but depending on what I find out from trying to study up a bit on military organization, I might just organize it all into platoons (Which have like, 15-30 total and have two squads... and are led by a Lt. in most scenatios ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
