[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Spiritmon]

...Honestly? Now I really want to see Reiner como this campaign and see Akamu vs Reiner battle. Don't know about you people but this is giving me Sukuna vs Gojo vibes:

Reiner Arendense, the strongest Dragon Tamer of the Old Era!

VS 

Akamu, the strongest Dragon Tamer of the currently Era!

Don't know know who would win, but I would pay to see this battle happen! NYAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Concidering Akamus hardest hitters arent close to listening consistently right now I doubt he stands that much of a chance. Maybe when they get along better lolol. (if throwing in the snake and hiding behind a rock while she does her thing is a valid strategy maybe)


Gloomster can become one of the big 3 when he earns his draco meteor by trust.

 Give Akamu time. Just give time to better train those mighty dragons of him, and he will be a force to be reckon it. As a player who play with Dragonstrike in Celadon City campaigh, let me tell ya: Reiner is a beast of its own. Sorry if I sound like a madman now, but this is the kind of fanservice I very excited to see. Both as a player of this campaigh and Celadon City campaighs.

Besides the gyarados I am pretty sure in the 3 others staying on his team for good. The Day Lani fully evolves the world won't know what hit it.

...@Lord Windos I will send you a PM to tell you what Oz gonna do. Time to do this.

[Lord Windos]

Indeed! I just wonder one thing: Since this timeline we are playing is a alternative timeline, this means is Reiner did get his revenge against the Dragon Council? Or this is multiverse shenanigans and that event never happen and he became some sort of great Dragon Master? Maybe he never joined Team Rocket, and actually was able to destroy the corruption in the Council, and forge some kind of alliance with the Sutalor and the other regions?

I know I problably going crazy here, but I actually very curious too about these possible events. As for Arial, I am curious too, but I guess he is just doing silly things by now. Problably raising a family with Riza. Oooor knowing my mad cat boy, maybe he is enjoying a crazy trip though out the multiverse with his family with his Solgaleo. Since, you know, Ultra Space Lion bat shit?

I can't exactly confirm or deny Reiner's existence in the Wild Lands verse. Not cause of spoilers, but because I never really....thought about integrating CCV into my narrative. Sure, their are some allusions and repeated/shared elements between verses, but ultimately I never sat down and went 'Right, this is or is not Canon between these Worlds' .

Perhaps an Alt Version of him did exist at some point and passed away - considering that CCV happened who knows how long before the OG Plot of Fire Red/Lead Green and Skull Ruins exists decades after the batch of Heroes from that era did their thing, he would be very dead unless he got himself a Pseudo, Legend, or otherwise. Perhaps he's still kicking around due to gaining some Power to Persist. Perhaps enough similarities exist between the two verses that a hypothetical WLs Reiner would have similar beef with the Dragon Council and Team Rocekt and do something about it. Perhaps he was radically different, never having the same Moment that turned him into an Anti-Hero and, eventually, a redeemed man.

Point is, I never made anything in my campaign to contain actual content from CCV besides general ideas and mechanics, and at this point I can confidently say I'm not planning to bar some truly Strange Fortune Shenanigans. In other words, I'm pulling Schrodinger's Meowth on that matter - whether the topic is opened again and is 'dead' or 'alive' is uncertain.


However Arial is actually easier for me answer, simply because of the fact that, with Gaspar becoming a Solgaleo that will eventually become a Full Power Legend AND having gained a PD that ALLOWED Interuniversal Travel/Planeswalking , CCV Arial has and will eventually become a Semi-Immortal Planeswalker with his brothers, his girlfriend, and slave in Waifunized Necrozma (Remember them? I sure do!) . Either by choice out of a desire to see everything Existence has to offer, or because certain events and consequences more or less force him to scram. CCV Alice immediately springs to mind being just one BIG driving factor for him to eventually leave the CCV-verse entirely - though how much good that will do him in the long run....well, Alice is Alice, and Alice is Alice. 

Honestly, if you hadn't chosen to make a new PC for Wild Lands I'd probably offer for you to use Arial as a Legacy Character in WLs . Would had to nerf or heavily tool your Team to fit in the standards of the verse - maybe Solgal-Gasper gets Depowered upon entering the verse due to Engima's Fuckery, CCV Mons being changed by the exposure, etc. - but I could have made it work. As it stands, though, Arial is currently traveling the Multiverse with his family, and he and them having the time of his life on the wacky adventures he finds himself in so far as I'm concerned.

You know, it's hilarious to think that despite being on the back foot in terms of Power for most of CCV's run Arial more or less ended up the stronger and freer of the two PCs of the campaign....though that's only accounting for personal power. If we factor in all the Friends Reiner has on tap and the Interest he Attracted from several Legends of Note....well, it's hard to say, really.

Yeah. I did imagined such thing would had happen. Arial and Reiner was already young adults by the time Team Rocket still was in power, so by the time of Skull Ruins and WL they would either be dead, or be living fossils almost. Although with the blessing of Mew, I don't think it would be outside of the realm of a long life for our grump Dragon Tamer.

I do prefer to think a version of Reiner had the chance of have a good life. Either be defeating the Dragon Council and fixing things, or maybe not even the traumas of his past happen. After everything he been though, the guy deserve to find happiness at least. And having a nice life with her sister too. No matter the version, Reiner have a heart of gold. Even when he was a Rocket.

Heh, I very happy for my favorite madman be just free to roam the multiverse. Its 0 surprise to many people I very much love Arial, but his character arc was complete back there, and there wasn't much more I could work on him. Well, there was, but if you love something, you must let it go. And I quite happy to let him go explore the Multiverse, have wacky adventures, and have the time of his life. He is the madman who fough a god of Light of Light and WON. His reward is to be free from the shackles of be my character, and he earned.

Thats the pure essence of Arial on a nutshel: He changed a lot, and evolve as a person, but by the end of the day, he still consider himself a extremely selfish human being. You said yourself once mate: He not Good, Evil or Neutral. He is chaos. Pure and Free. And thats okay.

Due to how heavy the post is, for better digesting, I will cut in two parts. The part one you can free react if you choose for Windos and Dragonstrike. This is a big moment for me, so I don't want to screw things, so I beg a little patience. Forgive the inconvenience I causing in advance.

...You know. It was not only the size of the post that make it difficult to put in the thread: I was actually crying while writting Oz answer post. Try to do that while listening to that music in your head, and you problably going to stop 5 to 5 minutes just to control the sobs.

...I know its problably stupid. For me to be over emotional while doing that. But...In a way, Oz is problably the character where I put more my own soul than any other character in these forums. More than Arial, Heart and Kogeki. I think...in a way...I wanted to...honor all the years we play together in this place. So I wanted to do my best to make the most emotional character I have ever created in my short existence as a fellow player and proud member of this forums. Pokerole was the first ever system I played with rules, and where I first get into trully grasp how deep and meaning is the world of Roleplay. Where I started as a friend, a player, and now as a full fledged GM.

...I must admit I know lots of times in the past, I was selfish, made lots of mistakes, and let anger control my very core. And I make many of you upset and made mistakes. And I know even now, I will have to live the rest of my days knowing what I did...But I feel trully blessed and grateful that despite my own shortcomings and my own failures. None of you ever give up on me. Despite my temper, you still consider me...a friend. Even after ALL these years, even after everything that happened, you grab my hand. You accept me as your companion, and friend. And for that, you ALL, and I mean, ALL of you, have my eternal gratitude. Words can't express how grateful I am to have meet so many incredible people. Both old and new.

...Thats why I wanted to make my best character I could ever make. I take a long while to joined in the journey because I wanted to craft the best character possible. A character who even if it would die in the campaigh, or if by chance anything happen to me IRL, or even if life for one reason or another drive us appart, to all of you carry a part of me in your memories, your hearts, and enjoy a good time together. 

In a way, Oz is my magnus opus. My pride and joy. My hope and melancholy. She is the amalgamation of all the crystallize experiences I had and will have in this place: The sadness but also joys. The tragedies...but also hope. 

The combination of all that I lived, ALL that I experience in these last years. The sadness and tragedies we endured in these last years...And still suffer in a way.

Oz is the character I feel more proud to ever make. But even after she depart from this campaigh, be by circumstances of death by the dice gods (and I will accept that fate, if that ever happens, because there are things who are beyond a DM control and even more for a player) or be by the end of the campaigh, I will be happy and even satisfied that I could craft something who means a lot to me, and I was able to finally share with you all this wonderfull experience.

Oz is more than just a PC and a character. More than just combination of words, rules and background...She is my love letter. She is a love letter I wanted to give you all, for all the amazing things and wonderfull memories you gave me.

To all my fellow players, friends, companions, and members of the Pokemon Uranium Forums who might just watch and read the campaigh from time to time:

Thank you, for everything. And to allow me, a stranger be allowed to part of this little existence of ours called LIFE. For this, thank you...Forever.

Thank you...It is in fact one of my favorite music's of all time. I really should buy the console and the Soul Sacrifice game. When I get a work and gain money, I will make sure of play that game.

Edit: Yeah, not gonna happen yet. Still way to much high the price of the game.

(...)Cha-Ching! Swords Dance Bought! Remember you have a standing Discount at the Shop, but with your recent windfalls you can more than afford it regardless.(...)

Okay, I've got access to my PC and written notes again, and am in the process of updating my sheet right now (gotta remember to add that Umbrelong too). And I came across a question about that standing discount, Windos: How high is that one again? The only discount on my end I found by searching the thread is spoken about here, but it only says '20% Discount off from your Sales (Made Recently)'. That salesperson reseved the TM of Swords Dance for $7500Poke just for me, as I requested, since it's a wishlist-move on my end and I remember I was quite low on cash at that point.
