Pokemon Umbral Theatre 8: Introducing the Hexagon Harem

[Dracorion]

'S cool. I can entertain myself with watching an awesome Chrono Cross/Trigger Medley until then.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Sakuya and Mio will probably be around if its viable for this mission. Primarily Sakuya. I'd like data first though. Who are our engineers again? I remember Moon, but who else?

[Dracorion]

Heidi and Mirror.

[Menarker]

[Astral Harmony]

Alice Hornsbury, Rayleen's mole in the Prideguard, will be joining as an Engineer Enforcer. She's learned pretty much all she can about the Prideguard and has decided to cut her losses before Burkmont does something to her.

There's gonna be another hulking post regarding a meeting of the biggest minds. The general results of the meeting will be that Lucian and Discord get hired, Irene rejoins PATCA, Rayleen begins her super secret operation to recruit allies from the far west (and thus leaves PATCA), Sakuya and Mio join in the fight against the Prideguard, Alice and Muon are recruited, and lotsa other crap.

Probably the best time to get PATCA involved in the mission is right after Pierce's battle concludes. Then we can unleash the freaks.

[Dracorion]

An Engineer... Enforcer?

Are doing dual-specialties now?

[Astral Harmony]

Sorry. Meant Engineer Slayer.

God, I need more time to stop being retarded.

[Dracorion]

Shame. I was hoping to turn Sam into an Enforcer-Shock Trooper.

[Menarker]

Well, Gem is back safe and sound. *Or at least I assume so if he's signed on*

So I guess we can hear his thoughts on what some of the speculations or whom he'd want on the team as his enforcer.

EDIT: I just looked at the list of new moves for Black and White and HOLY SHIT, some of them look drastically powerful. Including this Fire type attack that deals 180 base power but sharply lowers 3 of your stats.

Although we won't have to deal with that until the sequel.

[Geminex]

Well, Gem is back safe and sound. *Or at least I assume so if he's signed on*

Noooooo.
I dieeeeeed and I came back from the deeeeeeeeead to trooooooooll you guys. Also, stop staaaaaaalking meeeee.

I don't have the time to read all that stuff yet, I'll do that tomorrow morning. Just logging in now to post mah upgrades. I think they're allright. I dunno though, I'll trust in your hopefully-balanced judgement. Also, I ran out of ideas for the final level, so either make suggestions, or we treat that one as a reserved, in case my stuff isn't as weak as I thought it was.

Anyway, enjoy!
Fuckers.

Demon 10:

TAs and RDPASignature Break:
Cost: 1 Taction
Effect: Impact mentally assaults the target's aura, disrupting the target and preventing them from focusing enough to bring their strongest abilities to bear. One Sig-tech, Sync-tech, love-tech or Co-op technique (or anything else of that nature) cannot be used until the end of next turn (effect counts as a debuff).
Conditions: Can be used 3 times per turn at most

Analyst:
Cost: Passive
Effect: In combat, Impact's especially aware of his surroundings and may draw conclusions that seem inexplicable, or even supernatural in their accuracy. Basically, in combat, when we get info about enemies or our situation, AB gives us a little extra. What is up to him, as long as it's useful.

Formation shift:
Cost: 1 Taction
Effect: Impact coordinates rapid maneuvers to modify either an allied formation, or force the enemy to modify theirs. Select one member of a formation somewhere on the battlefield and replace this member somewhere else within the same formation.
Conditions: None.

Despecialize:
Cost: 3 Tactions
Effect: Select 1 enemy specialist. This specialist loses all 'priveleges' and counts as an ordinary unit for 3 turns. For the first turn only, this removes any protective effects on this specialist.
Conditions: Use once per turn only.
Example: Enemy medic is pissing us off. Use despecialize to take away his ability to use items.
Shock Troopers can only use one pokemon when despecialized, Snipers are attackable, Engineers cannot construct. And so on.

Fire at will:
Cost: 1 Taction to activate, plus up to 6 optional tactions
Effect: Impact helps coordinate the team's Destroyer to unleash a rain of destruction upon their hapless foes. For every two optional Tactions payed, the destroyer gains 100 aditional rage, for this turn only. Rage generated by this technique can raise the destroyer's gague above maximum.
Conditions: 6 optional tactions (working out to 300 rage max), can be used only every second turn

Deathly Calm:
Cost: 5 Tactions
Effect: Impact invades the minds of up to 3 foes, and bestows upon them a cold, deathly sense of calm and indifference. For one turn, they will lose rage whenever they would gain it. Techniques or abilities that cost rage have their cost increased by 10.
Conditions: Use once per turn at most

Massive feedback:
Cost: 25 rage to activate, 1 taction per attack
Effect: Impact gathers his strength and responds to every enemy attack with a massive wave of Aura-shock. The enemies take no damage, but they're so shaken that the attack or weapon they last used is now disabled.
Conditions: Once ever two turns only.

Superanalysis
Cost: 40 rage to activate, 2 Tactions per target
Effect: Impact rapidly analyzes the condition and vulnerabilities of various foes and feeds that info to his allies. For the duration of next turn, all affected foes become extremely vulnerable to secondary attack effects such as status effects, debuffs, stat reductions, flinch, etc... Attack with these effects are 2 times as likely to successfully inflict them. If a target is immune to an effect, it becomes normally vulnerable under the effect of this ability. Foes also gain an increased vulnerability to critical hits (equivalent to a 2-stage boost to all attacks), and suffer -2 stages to defense and special defense.
Coniditions: 6 targets max, once every two turns only

Ability drain
Cost: 1 taction
Effect: Select one enemy ability. This ability is nullified for two turns.
Conditions: 3 times per turn at most

RDPA:

Weapon 1: Weather Spire: Gives access to the "Weatherman" TA.
Weapon 2: yyy: Gives access to the "Dust Stream" TA
Weapon 3: Assault amplifier: Lets Impact attack with one of his standard weapons, and boosts the relevant attack stat by two stages. Attacking this way is more effective, but distracts him, costing him 2 tactions.
Weapon 4: Banshee Emitter: Gives access to the "Doom Howl" TA.

Armor 1: Survival Field Generator: Covers Impact and two allies to either side of him. Can be charged with up to 3 charges, at the cost of 1 taction per charge. Whenever an enemy attack would crit against a covered ally, the field uses one charge, and the crit is downgraded to a normal attack.
Armor 2: Variable Immunity Armor A: When RDPA is first deployed, this armor gives no immunity. Impact can initially pay 1 taction to have it grant immunity against a certain element, and from then on, another two tactions to change the immunity it provides. (E.g.: Impact goes initiates RDPA while in battle agains several fire tanks. He pays a taction to set the immunity to 'fire', to protect himself against their attacks. Once those are destroyed, they get reinforced by water tanks, so Impact pays 2 tactions to make himself immune to water instead.)
Armor 3: Variable Immunity Armor B: See above
Armor 4: Processing unit: Generates an extra taction per turn


"Ultimate Warlord":
Effect: Gains an extra Taction per turn, and makes his tactions much harder to resist (enemies with immunity now just have a 50% chance to resist his TAs). Also gains ability to switch to the 'tactician' position. As 'tactician', the same limiations that would apply to snipers apply to him (meaning that FOW or the weather limit the degree to which he can affect the battle), and he gains no actions other than tactical actions, but he gains the defensive properties of a sniper, gets an extra taction per turn and his tactions become even harder to resist (50% chance drops down to 33%). Switching between 'active combatant' and 'tactician' costs him half his tactions for the turn, rounded up, he begins battles in 'combatant' mode. While the switch to tactician may be impossible during very hectic, close-in fighting, it will be available even in situations where Snipers and Destroyers aren't present.

Weatherman:
Cost: 1 taction per change
Effect: Impact channels power through the RPDA to change the weather. He can remove and add different weather effects at will.

Dust Stream:
Cost: 5 tactions:
Effect: Impact eliminates FOW on the enemy side by 35 and increases FOW on the allied side by as much.

"Haunting"
Cost: 4 tactions initially, 1 per turn afterwards
Effect: Impact pierces the target's mental defenses, to strike directly at its aura and mind. Instead of just attacking, however, he does something more subtle. He leaves a fragment of his mind in the foe's, then withdraws. This fragment disrupts the foe, haunts them, causes them to become confused for two turns, and utterly exhausted thereafter. It cannot be dispelled. When the foe in question faints or dies, Impact partakes in its agony and rage, gaining a quarter of what the foe had left. The fragment then jumps to a random adjacent foe, to do the same to it, unless Impact recalls it, at the cost of another 4 tactions.
Conditions: Can use once per turn at most, and three times per battle. For every fragment of Impact's mind in circulation, he loses 1 taction and 5 rage per turn.

Doom Howl:
Cost: 4 Tactions
Effect: Deals no direct morale damage. However, enemies become subtly, but powerfully unsettled by the unearthly sounds of this device, and become far more (twice as) vulnerable to negative morale effects for three turns.
