[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

(I'll do the reveal!  That means I get to drop her theme as well)

Even only seeing her from the back, it's already easy to tell this Professor has a bit of a wild style.  She's wearing a typical white lab coat, but it has a large fur collar.  Her hair seems to mostly have been left to its own devices, with orange and brown accessories sticking out of the somewhat messy affair.  Fur covered ankles and bare feet wearing sandals peek out from underneath the lab coat

Seddi clears his throat to get the Professor's attention.  *Ahem*  "There you are, Professor.  'Bout time I caught up.  Hope you don't mind that I brought a little company along."

She turns, and the attire underneath her lab coat is even more distinctive.  Necklaces and accessories made of shaped bones and rocks strung together.  More strikingly though, she's showing a surprising amount of skin for a scientific type.  Her eyes bring with them a piercing, calculating, logical gaze.

Overall, she looks a bit like a cavewoman in a labcoat.

"Met a few individuals on the way here that I think can help us with our various goals here in Sutalör.  This woman with me is Ianai, a novice Ashmuut.  Ianai, this is Professor Sada, Paldea's foremost authority on Paradox pokemon."



Professor Sada: Professor Sada and Turo - Pokemon SV



Seddi makes sure to emphasize Ianai is here for multiple reasons.  The multifaceted nature of this research mission is not something that is likely going to be common knowledge in the near future.

Professor Sada, a not so well known now-in-days but still highly respected researcher from Paldea, looks over to Ianai - who current is sporting a poleaxed expression as they stared at her - before looking back to you and nodding, crossing her arms as she did so.

"I see. How much are they aware of our Mission and Projects? I don't overly care for secrecy, here and in general, but I would like to know what you've already shared so I don't end up repeating myself and know where to go with each of these individual. Speaking of them, what are their Names, their general Personalities, and their stance in regards to you? What is your judgement on them, professionally and speaking only for yourself? What have you learnt and experienced that has caused you great delays, greater inconvenience, and caught your own interest?"

The cave-scientist then pauses, as if remembering something, before stepping forward towards you, scanning over your belt until she spots what she was looking for - the Net Ball of your latest Capture, The Sutalorian Paradox Sand Crawler.

"....*Pans back up to Stare at you Intently* I would also like to know everything about this Paradox you recently caught. If possible I'd like to see it myself, if its tame and tractable enough for a cursary examination and diagnosis."

Yeap, the Professor fixation on Paradoxes are still as prominent as ever, though not enough to distract her entirely from business or banish most reason from her these days as she shakes her head and gestures to you.

"As for how I've done and what work I've completed on my end: Arrival went satisfactory from the Sea-Airport outside of the Storm Wall, and I made my way to the Embassy without a moment's delay. I meant with the officials to discuss our mission, project, and what our juridiction, and have only shortly concluded business since you arrived. Here."

Sada reaches into her Inventory to hand you a bunch of documents and a ID/Badge with your Name and Picture on it, featuring both the Symbol of Paldea's League and The Sutalorian Government on the outside of the Badge casing.

"These are your Diplomatic Papers and Identification. Read over them later, but to summarize: you and I have full authorization to explore, catalogue, research, Catch, and deal with all Pokemon in this Region, up to and including the Malefic Monstrum, Mifowe, and Rouge Legends and Myths. We also have some degrees of protection from the local law in order to conduct our mission and if we run into any disputes in the course of it, as well as Legal Authority equivalent to a Ranger Chief, Ace Trainer, Rank 1 Government Bounty Hunter, Free Bounty Hunter, and Rank 3 Independent M.E.T.A Officer. We're also will be given a stipend of $5000 Poke every 15 Days, as well as our choice between 1 Max Revive, 1 Single Use TM for Recycle (Which can also Repair Stuff), A Firearm of your choice with 30 Units of Ammunition or your choice, or your choice of a Medical Kit, Berry Kit, or Capture Kit. Lastly, we'll be kept up to date on government and domestic dealings as needed and by our own request.

"In exchange, we are expected to help and assist in emergency crisises, solving disputes and offer 'reasonable' aid in Legal and Extra Legal matters if requested by Region's Government and local governing bodies, and dealing with 'major threats' or 'threats to society and Nature' to the best and fullest extent of our ability. While in the Wilds or otherwise given Full Authority by a local or the super ruling government, and if not given a Directive against something or acting otherwise, you have the Right to Investigate, Capture and Detain Humans, Pokemon, and Other Creatures, Settle Civil or Environmental Disputes per your best judgement, Sentencing of Criminals, and, in the most extreme or dire circumstances, Execution or Conscription of people and Pokemon to resolve major crimes or situations. We are to make Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Reports of our Findings, and to Alert the government or the nearest acting local Authority about any major discoveries involving Au'Rarii Artifacts, Special Locations, Disasters, Criseses, etc.. We get First Claim on our discoveries, as is the Law in these lands, but anything we do not take into our custody or is deemed 'too great' for an individual person to horde will be shared with the state.

"Do you understand all this, Seddi? Do you have any questions?

As for what was frustrating her earlier, she crosses her arms again and simply stares at you with expectation - it seems she wants to hear your mini-Adventure first before she brings up any news on that, good, bad, or inconvenient.

Ianani, notably, continues to stare off into space where the Professor once stood, a dazed and glazed over expression overtaking her normally unflappable demeanor.
