Alright, and what should have been done 3 hours earlier is here. Meet Huey Eckener, he just really wants to be appreciated for what he does. Really, really, wants to be appreciated. Please notice me.1. Why do you want to become a Technician? "To become of great use to Arcadia and its inhabitants! I aim to make it a better place, and wish to do so immediately! Sir! This is my answer due to it being my true belief." Huey actually became a Technician solely to get noticed among the swaths of other Arcadia denizens that wish to see the surface, and figured this was his best chance to be recognized for his actions while doing so. 2. Who is the most important person in your life? "...Arcadia. To me, the city itself is a person and I wish to protect it from those who would mean harm towards it. Again, this is my answer as I believe it to be true." Huey's actual most important person is Rocco, from his backstory, but he isn't quite sure of this himself. 3. If you had to make the choice between having half of the city become irreparably destroyed, or having half of the population die, which one would you choose? "Whichever is the better choice for Arcadia as a whole. As stated previously, my answer is what I'm truly willing to do." He actually means this, but may falter if someone he personally knows would be involved. 4. How do you deal with being proven wrong? "I work to correct and better myself so that in the future it does not happen again. This answer is because I have been wrong before, and have followed these exact steps to get where I am today, and hope to go further from here." This is true 5. Which non-official story of what is Outside Arcadia do you most believe? "I've heard that there are other people, real land to settle a city without issues like The Under. I believe there is nothing. I choose this answer because there can't be something out there, with how long we've stayed here. Something should have tried to contact us by now." This is true |

Right, I actually had a question.
If someone's parents were sentenced to The Under for life, are their children also banished for life?

No. They'll either be sent to live with relatives, or become wards of the city, be provided with a minimal lifestyle, and be expected to fend for themselves as soon as education is finished. |

Followup question, what happens when a Child is born in the Under? Is it possible for parents to hide the fact they had a child in the Under? |

Followup question, what happens when a Child is born in the Under? Is it possible for parents to hide the fact they had a child in the Under? If born in? Will be taken and same thing as prior. Hiding woul be hard, but theoretically attainable, as long as you don't attract any attention. You do what they tell you, and they won't care. (Might be more efficient to answer these over Skype. I believe I sent contact request.) |

Whelp, it only took -several hours-, but I've finished working out my app. The 'Bare Minimum' slacker, Leslie Kincaid. Questionnaire answers:Why do you want to become a Technician?Because it was this or mandatory work detail, no one else bothered to hire me. Not that I applied anywhere. That would of been a bother.Who is the most important person in your life?. . . . my landlady, Mrs Trevors. She makes sure I eat every couple days.If you had to make the choice between having half of the city become irreparably destroyed, or having half of the population die, which one would you choose?Heh, and I thought I was morbid. . . . . . . . the city, I guess. Cause if we lost that many people I would have to work harder, or something.How do you deal with being proven wrong?Depends on whether I'm standing up or lying down. Standing, I go lay down and wallow. Lying down, I wallow harder.What non-official story of what is Outside Arcadia do you most believe?. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . on the other side of the Wall is a gigantic table where a colossal creature is eating and eating and eating. Eventually it will get full and roll over to the Wall, and use the city as a toilet. Is that good enough?Standard character theme: "Chill and Groove" |

Sorry if this has been asked somewhere in the 2500-odd posts on the Skype chat, but how are combat maps etc going to be run?

Maps will be done on Google Spreadsheets. Functional, but not very pretty.

I'm getting a very 'if paranoia XP was more serious' vibe that I like.
I'd like to be added to the chat: h3adcra6z0m613

Welcome to the PTU character spotlight, featuring Voland, the eyes of arcadia. Completely irrelevant champion character spotlight below: As a long range marksman, Voland excels in taking out targets before they know what hits them. His main weapon is a hunting rifle shooting gel rounds. Let's begin by looking at his abilities. - His passive, Marksman, allows him to deal TONS of damage to enemies a certain percent of the time.
- His Q, flying ace, has both a passive and active component. Passively, his flying pokemon can either deal more damage or gain damage reduction when using flying moves and can roll twice for accuracy with flying moves. When he activates his Q, his pokemon gain access to tornado charge allowing them to attack multiple times in a row.
- His W, Mentor allows him to teach his and other pokemon moves outside of their normal level up list. Quite handy, I must say! This synergizes well with his Q as it will allow him to teach his pokemon more flying type moves than they might normally have and with his R for reasons explained later.
- His E, Special Attack Ace, allows him to passively boost the special attack power of his pokemon and grants his pokemon's single target ranged special attacks a bit of bonus range.
- Finally, his R, Marksman's Orders grants him access to two sets of orders. We'll talk today about Long Shot orders. These orders allow all of his pokemon to double the range on their ranged attacks while also dealing bonus damage based on the distance these attacks travel.
So let's talk about his combos. Looking at his R we see that Voland excels when his pokemon have moves with naturally long ranges. As such you'll want to make sure your pokemon have a variety of moves with range 6 or 8 preferably. It's here where Voland's W, mentor, will help! If these moves qualify as single target ranged moves, then his E will naturally give these moves 2 more range. So begin by attacking enemies from a normal range. If enemies begin to run away you can either give chase or stand your ground until they get just outside of your normal range. At this point, hit your R and position yourself to attack from your massively enhanced range to attack with TONS of bonus damage to finish them off. This entire time, you'll want Voland himself positioned at mid to long range so that even if the enemies begin to flee, Voland's long range rifle can hit its mark! Stay tuned for more info as we get closer to his release! I was uh... feeling a bit bored. I need to make a change or two probably to the app, but I think it's mostly done. Questionnaire:
1. Why do you want to become a Technician? Because I want to show people how a technician should really get things done. Yeah, the money is nice and all too. I'll admit that it beats most other jobs, but I've got someone to prove something to.
2. Who is the most important person in your life? Right now? I have no one; there's no time for that kind of stuff. Is that all? Can we move on?
3. If you had to make the choice between having half of the city become irreparably destroyed, or having half of the population die, which one would you choose?
Well if half of the city is destroyed, then those people who have no where to go (or possibly no more work) might get banished to the under. That's quite possibly a worse fate... a slow... horrifying... existence filled with suffering. The tougher amongst the populace could probably pull it off... but so many would live in misery and would probably die in a short amount of time... quite painfully too. So I'd have to go with half of the population, at least their method of death isn't as bad.
4. How do you deal with being proven wrong? Well, it's happened before. If I'm wrong then we re-adjust and continue onwards. Eyes on the prize and whatnot.
5. Which non-official story of what is Outside Arcadia do you most believe? I heard that secretly, some humans with pokemon powers created Arcadia to test how people can develop powers and possibly make them stronger. And they made a number of closed off places like Arcadia as their experiments. But it's all drivel made up by people with too much time on their hands.

And here's Ariadne, a by-the-book woman with a lot of repressed anger. Questionnaire1. Why do you want to become a Technician?
"I wish to make amends for my sister's actions, and prove to the Council that my family is trustworthy."
2. Who is the most important person in your life?
"My brother, who I hope will follow in the footsteps or myself and my parents."
3. If you had to make the choice between having half of the city become irreparably destroyed, or having half of the population die, which one would you choose?
"Barring further information, the population, since if half the city was destroyed much of that population would likely die anyway."
4. How do you deal with being proven wrong?
"I attempt to improve, so that I am not wrong about the same matter a second time."
5. Which non-official story of what is Outside Arcadia do you most believe?
"Amongst the stories I have heard, none of which seem particularly feasible, the most likely one is a claim that Arcadia is surrounded by hostile countries, who are responsible for the Pokemon incursions we experience." |

Skype name: Rhewlif_Dewdrop Uh, sorry to burst your bubble, but Pokebots and Augmentations will not be available at the start, and might not be all game. They aren't in the list of things used in the brackets after DPDoM. |

Yeah, I noticed that afterwards but that ok by me. I'll just stick to my glamour weaver/artificer idea if that's alright?

From the original post: Deadline information:Applications will be open until Midnight May the 8th. In order to be considered, you must have given me your Skype contact information, whether via PM or otherwise, and been added to the Skype chat. After applications close, there will be a further period of time, probably 1-2 weeks, in which to finalize any errors with your applications. In addition, during that time, I will be trying to interact with each of you, as well as find out possible group chemistry. Due to this, I encourage applicants to interact with each other as much as possible, so as to help me make decisions. |
