Battle Network: Cheat Codes

Setting:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

In the year 200X, rapid advance in technology has created the Network Age, in which everyone now carries a PET(Personal Terminal), an advanced device which is used as identification, stores data, makes phone calls, writes emails, keeps one connected to the internet at all times, holds one's money, and contains a Digital Assistant known as a Net Navi. The Net Navi(Network Navigator) is an artificial intelligence which is used for traveling through digital spaces, which all electronic objects have, and travel the internet. These Net Navis are also used for battle against other digital lifeforms when needed, or for Net Battles in general.

The players are either students or teachers who attend AC/DC College(They can have jobs outside of this, obviously).

Explaination:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

This RP takes place in the Battle Network universe. As explained above, every player will be an Operator, Net Navi, or both. Before deciding that you're one or the other, either have a one of each ready, or make sure another player is willing to partner with you. A player can choose to be a Rogue Net Navi, however they'd only operate in the cyber world(In the absence of Digital Fields), and would have limited access to Battle Chips.

The Operator will be responsible for real life threats, transferring Battle Chips to their Net Navi, and using manual real life influences to adjust the Network for their Navi when they need help. Note: Just because this series is best known for ONLINE battles, that DOES NOT mean you're safe, and won't have to fight as an Operator. Operators are also responsible for changing a Navi's customizer parts, handling money, and upgrading their PET. When an Operator has their HP reduced to 0, they become incapacitated, and can be raped by enemies.

Net Navis are responsible for fighting off Viruses and other Navis, as well as deciding how they use the Battle Chips that are sent to them by their Operator. When a Navi's HP is reduced to 0, they become incapacitated and can be raped.

Unlike most other RPs, I have maps for this RP. While areas will still be described the best I can, I'll have available said maps for the areas a player travels through. This will make it easier to describe where your character is heading to.

Battle Chips can be purchased from the shop, won off of opponents if they wager them, and have a chance of being earned from defeated Viruses and Navis. Battle Chips are broken down into different levels, to determine what can and can't be used. At first, only lower ranked chips can be used, but PET upgrades will allow the use of higher rarity chips. The player is also allowed a specific number of total chips in a folder, starting at 10, and increasing as they upgrade their folder. Chip Rarity is as follows:

Common
Uncommon
Rare

There are also different kinds of Special Chips, the player is allowed a specific number of each of these, and the rarity is as follows:

Super
Mega
Giga

At the start of the RP, the player is allowed one Super, one Mega, and one Giga. Upgrading a player's PET will allow more.

Navi Customizer Parts will each have a value, while Navis will have a Capacity which is used to determine how many parts can be equipped. These parts can be bought from shops.

PET Upgrades are used to adjust the function of your PET to make it more effective, and these can also be bought from shops.

Credits will be earned by beating other players in Net Battles, killing viruses, completing missions, committing acts of terrorism or general criminal acts which would turn a profit, stopping criminals, winning tourneys, selling enemies into slavery, etc.

CONSENSUAL SEX COMES FROM USING YOUR CHARISMA STAT, STOP FUCKING IGNORING IT.

(Charisma can be used to bribe an NPC out of an item, get favors from NPCs, or to bribe a monster out of a battle. Sex/Sexual acts can be used as a form of bribe. Charisma is how another character is convinced to have sex with yours. I'm mentioning this because everyone in every RP seems to ignore Charisma.)

2: Target (Dexterity(Possible Modifiers influencing hide check)1d20 Diceroll)=Stealth

This looks

L

T

I'll make a CS sheet tomorrow for an op and navi. You planning on a limit for rp'ers?

Also, I realize people ignore charisma. But if I'm only here for non-consensual stuff, do I have much of a reason to invest in charisma? It may help convince NPC's occasionally, but if my character will be a prude who won't have sex consensually, is that reason enough to set charisma to only one or two?

Is corruption only applicable to Navis or for both Operators and Navis?

One more thing: you ask for the PET appearance in the operator sheet. I was under the impression that the PET and Navi were basically the same thing. Are you saying that the navi is a digitalized person and the PET a physical thing the operator carries around with them? If so, do we have restrictions on what the PET looks like?

Again, awesome idea, all for it, all for the "ACTIVE" part as well.

I wasn't really directing that towards people who prefer or are only interested in rape, I was directing it towards the clowns that were complaining that there wasn't enough consensual sex in one of my other RPs. People always ignore the Charisma stat, then wonder why there's no consensual sex.

MOST statuses are applicable to both Operator and Navi, but Corruption specifically is a status which comes from corrupted battle chips, or "Dark Chips". I'm considering making a list of statuses that apply to Operators and one that applies to Net Navis.

The PET is the physical terminal which houses your Net Navi in it, your Net Navi is the digital artificial intelligence therein which is sent into the digital spaces on your Operator's behalf. PETs are basically the Cell Phone/Digivice your Operator carries around with them everywhere.

Likes: Money, Playing others, Control, Fights, Her siblings
Dislikes: Goody two-shoes, Losing, Loss of money not caused by her, Boredom
Good at: Bending others to her will, beating the fight out of someone, Taking care of children
Bad at: Dealing with boredom, resisting the urge to break others

Backstory:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The Hayes family was one eternally in debt. If her parents somehow paid off one debt, they very quickly picked up another one in their desire to live a lavish lifestyle far out of their means. Lina grew up as the oldest child out of six as her parents used their children to get more money from government assistance. Seeing what this lifestyle did to her folks, she tried her hardest to raise her 3 sisters and 2 brothers to avoid it since her parents sure as hell weren’t raising them. Given how things have turned out, she’s pretty sure she succeeded given that none of them have ended up like her parents and quite a few of them are happily married with spouses that passed Lina's harsh expectations. She still has a 18 year old sister that she takes care of in her home who just graduated high school and a 21 year old brother that she is helping through college.

As for Lina herself, her upbringing had two major lessons to her: The first is the value of money and how to get and keep it from a very young age. The second is that, after her parents were taken apart and their organs sold to recoup their debts to the wrong people, money is worth more than human life. She supposes a third is how to keep your money away from others since her parents tried to take her money when they learned she was making it, but well, the gang had to find them somehow. Why not let them pay her instead of some other schmuck? She already managed their finance books and looked to them to help protect her siblings, so why not get a bonus out of it she figured. And so at the age of 16, that was the first time she sold someone for her own gain. It was not the last.

Seeing what extravagance did to her parents she lives frugally and doesn’t actually need much, but the desire to have enough to never worry about it still lingers in her mind. So when picking a profession, she decided on one that can both grant her steady pay and time that she can use to pursue “extracurricular” activities. Of the legal options, she settled on being an Economics Teacher. She was picked up by AC/DC College to teach Economics there and she didn’t object since there weren’t any embezzlement scandals or shadow powers that her connections could find. And if a student occasionally went missing… well, the ones that do usually were from a bad neighborhood or were known partiers. No surprise if they disappeared, right?

Backstory: U.P. used to be a Navi known as Seeker. A Navi obsessed with learning about everything they could, a seeker of knowledge. They had discovered a rumor about a place in digital space that held untold treasure, but was guarded by an extremely powerful entity. They were warned repeatedly not to go there, but did not take heed. They reached the place, which turned out to be extremely difficult to get to, and had to pass many locks, barriers, firewalls, and other such defenses. What could possibly need to be guarded so heavily? They soon found the answer. What they found was indeed the single greatest thing they have ever seen, but guarding it was Ţ̵́h̡҉҉è̛͜ ̢͟͢͠b̸̢̧͜͠l̸̢̕͠à̷͘͞c̴͠͏̷̡k̨̡e̢̧͝͡s͝t̨͝͏̴ ҉̧͝ą̛͡b͏͡y̕͠҉̷s͏͟s̸̛ ̢̕͞ A virus unlike any other, something that resisted all forms of attack as it came for Seeker.

Thanks to U.P. being a S̴҉u̸̧͡͝p̵̡̛̕r͏̨̨͟ȩ̴̛͜͞m̀e͜͞ virus, she has a permanent urge to rape and corrupt those she defeats, including other viruses. To accomplish this she is able to summon tentacles out of her shadow at will, which can fight for her. (Summons tentacles and afflicts corruption when having sex with someone)

Desired Abilities(List three, with name and desired effect, as well as how this ability achieves that desired effect):

Ability 1: U.P. ejects a black mass onto the ground near her oppenent, this mass spawns tentacles which holds her oppenent in place. (Meant to Inflict Bind and be used for lewds)

Ability 2: U.P. Shoots a small tentacle into her opponent, this tentacles goes inside its target and spreads throughout its body, corrupting it. (Meant to inflict posion and do a tiny amount of damage possibly.)

Ability 3: U.P. summons a black, tar like substance that attaches to any surfaces and spreads over a small area, which causes it to be poisonous to things that aren't U.P. (Meant to corrupt a panel)

I'd love to make a Net-Navi, though don't want to juggle my own operator. Anyone willing to partner up?

[mrblah]

i'm willing, as soon as i get my sheet up. which should either be tonight or tomorrow morning.

Describe PET's Appearance:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Likes: Sweets, bunnies, computers, gambling, Haru, Net Battles
Dislikes: Spicy foods, limitations, effort, any physical exertion, Haru when she's forcing her to do things
Good at: Gambling, Net Battles, computers
Bad at: Anything related to putting in effort, athletics, taking care of herself

Backstory: Shobu is a student at AC/DC college... though she shouldn't be. She's the type of person who's incredibly lazy and only does the barest amount of work to pass, since most things just don't seem interesting to her. Feeling concerned or caring for something was something she wasn't known to do, and not even her overbearing sister who pushed her to go to college in the first place could change that. This wonderful sister of hers was Haru, and without her, Shobu would probably either be homeless or living a nice, carefree life in someone's apartment while selling her body to pay them for it. The lengths she'd go to for her comforts and relaxation surprises everyone.

Yet despite how lazy and unwilling to work Shobu is however, her one talent is that she has a knack for computers, something her sister focused on with the intention of making it flourish. Ever since she was younger, she'd spend many nights tinkering with her PET, breaking her PET, and repeating it after Haru bought her a new PET, but on her 16th birthday, she was given an even better gift she hadn't yet known how much she'd value. A NetNavi by the name of Philo. Their relationship started off rocky, since Philo was meant to help break Shobu out of her lazy behavior, but it wasn't long before their relationship grew to be a little closer thanks to Shobu's sudden interest in a new hobby.

Net Battling. She knew a friend who got her into it after they briefly bonded over computer stuff. The two had met in Shobu's high school years, and ever since the budding hacker had been treated to the view of a few Net Battles, she had for the first time in her life, felt interest in learning something new. Her early days of Net Battling were rough. She wasn't entirely sure of what she was doing or what Navi to use... which was exactly where Philo came in. They were quick to form a good team, and Shobu was eventually playing at a high level thanks to her Navi's help. But at this stage, it had quickly gotten boring for her. Whether she won or lost... it just wasn't enough. Shobu needed more... and just that method found her, as if it were a stroke of fate. It started with a small wager between her and a rival. She won... almost lost... and well, the rest is history.

Gambling with her fellow students, gambling at late night crime spots. Gambling, gambling, gambling. It seemed Shobu finally found her calling. There was an added level of risk when you play for high stakes, and play she did. Shobu made a name for herself for being a crazy and/or stupid and experienced gambler (who was probably cheating in some games BUT THEY NEVER CAUGHT HER), and her habit of playing for high stakes continued under her sister's nose well into college.

And so, that leads up to today, in the life of Shobu the lazy gambler. Just another day where she obviously intends to either bet and win a lot of money, or bet and lose a lot of money. She knew it'd be fun either way.

Appearance: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/3222774
Element(Select from element list, or Null): Electricity
Likes: Net Battles, Winning, Flying, Bunnies (It rubbed off on her), Effort, Confidence
Dislikes: Losing (Duh), Paralysis, Doing nothing, Negative moods.
Good at: Acrobatics displays, showing off, exercise tips, dancing
Bad at: Sitting still, accepting losses, remembering what elements beat others, judging others
Backstory: Philo was originally installed by Haru, Shobu's Older sister, to inspire her to get active and exercise. Being, essentially, a fitness-based Navi, the two had a rocky relationship at first. Things changed when Philo was brought in over more generic Navis to be used in combat. Her competitive nature, combined with her operator's growing gambling addiction, transformed them into a strong team. While she never fell into being as lazy as Shobu, it proved to be somewhat infectious and she forgot her original purpose in favour of winning as many battles as she could for as much money as possible. The more money that her operator got, the more upgrades and chips she could get a hold of and play with.

Naturally, the desire to win doesn't mean she won all the time. Philo is a sore loser who, while fair at first, will resort to any dirty tricks if the going gets too tough for her to win traditionally. In a fight, Philo will start with being acrobatic and showing off as much as she can. But as soon as things go downhill, she'll switch to relying on Shobu's probably illegal techniques to get through.

Passive Ability(Describe how this Navi achieves this effect continually):
StormWalk.EXE; Philo's flight electrifies the ground if she is hovering just above a panel. When she moves, the panels below her become electrified and have a chance to inflict Paralysis. The electrified panels can be removed by attacking the panel or by waiting one turn.

Desired Abilities(List three, with name and desired effect, as well as how this ability achieves that desired effect):
StormLance.EXE; Philo points her lance at her target and unleashes a bolt of lightning at the target. The bolt travels through struck targets, with the first hit taking full damage, the next taking half, and the third taking quarter. No longer pierces after that.
LightingGate.EXE; Philo plants two 'nodes' in the ground, causing a line of electricity to run between the two. Philo can pass through the line without taking damage, but it counts as a hazard for all others.
EyeOfTheStorm.EXE; Philo unleashes a burst of electricity around her, affecting enemies and allies both within nearby panels. This deals high damage, but Philo loses the benefits of AirShoes and is weakened for one round after its use. (Speed reduced?)

Backstory:
Damien comes from a long line of Mechanics. It was said that his great-great-great Grandfather opened the first auto shop in the country, or so the story goes. His father owns that auto shop and all his older brothers work there now. Damien was expected to work there as well. But his family soon discovered that he had no mechanical skill what so ever. While his father tried to be understanding, his brothers would tease him mercilessly. Unlike his older brothers, Damien was rather meek and soft spoken.

Once day, after a particular rough day Damien had the television to himself. While flipping through channels he eventually landed on the hit anime show “Princess of the Milky Way”. Hearing the Japanese theme song and watching the amazing animation lifted Damien from his stupor. He made watching the show his top priority. While he watched, he began to draw the characters. While his brothers continued to tease him, Damien’s mother took a particular interest. She was a trained painter and worked part time as a Graphics Designer. She provided Damien with all the tools he needed to practice his craft.

This is how Damien got his PET and his Navi, RikuRiku. The PET manufacture, Citrusware was having a contest to promote their new line of flip PETs. Contestants could send in Navi designs and the winner would get a free PET with their designed Navi. Damien spent a month getting the details just right for RikuRiku. By the time he was finished, he had over 50 rough sketches and 10 different submissions. But Damien’s work paid off and he soon received his new Citrusware PET and Navi.

Once the series was over, Damien continued to hunt down new series to watch. He eventually formed a small group of anime fans in high school. While looking up the artist who sang the opening for “Princess of the Milky Way”, he stumbled upon the Idol pair “Honey and Pepper”. This started his love affair with Idol culture. Soon his room was filled with Anime Posters, Figurines, Art Books and a Princess Milky Body Pillow, though he had to take care to hide his more ‘Lewd’ items.

After highschool, Damien left home to attend AC/DC College, applying to their Graphic Design Program. He is also a regular at the College’s Anime Club, bringing his vast collection and of course RikuRiku. When not at school, Damien works part time at a Hobby Store in the local mall.

Element: Light

Bad at: Sitting Still, Humility, Teamwork

Backstory:
RikuRiku was created by Citrusware as part of a design contest for their new line of flip PETs. When Damien designed her, he wanted to make his very own virtual idol. At first RikuRiku would just perform on the PET for Damien. From time to time, Damien would draw up new costume for RikuRiku and program them into his PET. It wasn’t long before she and Damien started to host shows on the net. She gained a small following and even became the mascot of his anime club. RikuRiku’s performances also served as a form of virus busting. Her dancing and singing are based on Damien’s large collection of Idol songs and videos saved on his PET. Though they’ve also been influenced by the large collection of porn Damien keeps on there as well. While her net shows are still rather tame, she saves the more adult performances for Damien.

RikuRiku is always doing whatever she can to keep the eyes of her Operator on her. When Damien took an interest in Net Battles, so did she. Not just for Damien’s sake, but for the attention that comes from being a Net Battle Idol.

Passive Ability: CentreStage.EXE
To RikuRiku, Net Battles and Musical Performances are one and the same. Through a media player in her programing, RikuRiku will always have one of her songs playing in the background and starts dancing. While dancing, RikuRiku gets a speed boost and has a chance to charm enemies at the start of battle. Charmed Enemies deal less damage to RikuRiku.

Desired Abilities
PassionArrow.EXE
RikuRiku endows one of her arrows with all of her love. The tip begins to glow and sets the enemy on fire when it hits.

RikuBeam.EXE
RikuRiku forms a heart with her hands. Saying her catchphrase ‘Riku-Riku-Rii!’, she shoots a heart-shaped beam of light straight ahead. (No special effect but it has a larger Critical Range [19-20])

Appeal.EXE
There is nothing RikuRiku loves more than an audience, she and Damien always make sure to stream their battles. During a Net Battle or while Virus Busting, RikuRiku will appeal to her fans and the audience for their support. The more love RikuRiku receives, the stronger she becomes.(Stat Boost or HP Recovery)

[RandomRoninKitten]

We have 1-2 more spots for a Navi player and an Operator player, OR a player with a Navi and Operator. There are six more days remaining before Sign-Ups close and the RP begins.

[RandomRoninKitten]

Working on the IC post. We still have room for 1-2 more people if anyone else wants to join before the post is up.

[RandomRoninKitten]

Shutting down this RP on the grounds that it's impossible to coordinate and I've backed myself into a narrative and mechanical corner due to the inherent problem with attaching two players to each other, and separating them into what's basically two different areas. In other words, I made huge mistakes with the RP's opening arc that would make the boss battle take several hours and prevent me from reasonably splitting up the players. I also made massive errors when devising the mechanics, basically.

I'll probably revisit this idea, but for now, I'm ending the RP here so that I don't waste everyone's time.
