This thread is going to be used to track a "how to" sign up. These sign ups will take place in-game and not on the forums, but will occur over the course of a couple of days, and have multiple contact points. Note, just because a Progression is marked as "Mundane option" or "Void aligned option" does not mean it is required for such thematic characters to join them. There is nothing stopping a Manathar from joining a Mundane progression or vise versa. The following progression options are available: Assault on Greygate: This is the standard "Mundane" option to assault Greygate. This involves Combat Characters and will involve attacking Greygate with NPC Vampires to kill. DONE Assault on Demetrius: This is second but less standard "Mundane" option to assault Demetrius on an Airship. This involves Combat Characters and will involve attacking Demetrius from the air and then deploying and fighting NPC Vampires and Demetrius's magical defenses. The amount of sign-ups for this progression will be repressed as there are only limited spots available on the airship (20 not including the manager(s). Banish the Voidmark: This is the standard Manathar/Void progression. In this progression, combat is not explicitly required, but it is very obvious that the group will attack the Voidmark, some Deus-Ex machina devise I just came up with that has allowed the Void Arken/Void Gods to manifest in Regalia and screw around. Destroying it will banish the non-physical Arken from the city. Save the Paperwork: This is a standard non-Combat progression (but combat characters can sign up too, and then a combat will be generated for them), that involves saving paperwork and government installations to prevent the Vampires from sabotaging the city's waterways/bureaucracy/logistics as a last "screw you" on their way out. Depending on the amount of sign ups, the individuals will be split into smaller groups and sent to different targets (Bank, Post office, Water treatment, Sewage drains etc). Secure the Armory: This is a standard Combat progression that involves securing the Regalian armory and weapon storages that contain all the cannons and blueprints for Regalian technology at the Technological institute. Vampiric "Screw you": Despite efforts to prevent the Vampires from doing lasting damage to the Empire, they will find a way. This progression is meant for all the Vampires/Pro-Void people who didn't join Draga Ifrit, to do some lasting damage to the Empire. Secure the Theomarite Temple: This is a standard Combat/Priest prog that can involve characters of both caliber securing and holding the Grand Temple of Theomar where the Cloister of Faith and his tomb resides within. This will involve both Combat and non-Combat religious stuff. DONE Assault on the Void: This progression has already been concluded. DONE Assault by Justice: This progression's sign up closed and is being written. If you feel your character does not fit into any of these progressions, there will be no other opportunities. We recommend you find a way to fit in with these Progressions, or just imply when all of this is over that your character went out in the streets and attacked some Vampires / Loyalists depending on their allegiance, but that they weren't part of any of these specific plans. That is fine. How to sign up for each: Assault on Greygate: This is managed by @Athelois (Vallavaan) and @Hemingway7 (von Schwarzkrau) and @BeashSlap (Garth Rødvar). You can approach these Characters in roleplay for a sign up in the coming 3 days (most of them are at the Loyalist Stronghold Estate). Assault on Demetrius: This is managed by @SupremeCripple (Viggo Sorenvik) and him alone. This Progression has 20 sign-ups and SupremeCripple may already have some assigned for this, so DM him to ask if he still has spots before you ask IC (he is mostly at the Loyalist Stronghold Estate). Banish the Voidmark: This is managed by @Lumiess (Maelstrom Keppkuula), @Birdsfoot_Violet (Anathema), @Finlaggan (Xaella) and @Bellarmina (Ashvarya Sylfina). You can approach these Characters in roleplay for a sign up in the coming 3 days (most of them are at Caelfall Estate, you can fast travel there with the cart system OOC) Save the Paperwork: This is managed by @canaaa (Milena Cadieux), @SpunSugar (Genevieve Howlester) and @MrsCripple (Sivrid Sorenvik). You can request to sign up in groups, and the signers will record grouping preferences, as this progression will be split up into smaller groups of 3-6 people going after individual targets. You can approach these Characters in roleplay for a sign up in the coming 3 days (most of them are at the Loyalist Stronghold Estate) Secure the Armory: This is managed by @Yigit (Rodrigo Peirgarten) and @BillyTheScruffy (Rodderick Howlester). You can approach these Characters in roleplay for a sign up in the coming 3 days (most of them are at the Loyalist Stronghold Estate) Vampiric "Screw you": This is managed by @Magivore (Xilthruum) and @BiBiBirdie (Valerica). You can sign up in the coming 3 days (They mostly hang around Greygate but may also be in other places). Secure the Theomarite Temple: This is managed by @LeafMC (Mother Alexi) and @slurmancer (Kopec). You can sign up in the coming 3 days. These players are hard to pin down as they move around a lot, you may need to dm them to ask where a good place to meet is. I signed up a lot of people who did not know they were being signed up as contact people above. If any of you expressly don't want the roleplay that comes from this, or be responsible to act as my middle-man, gather data and send it to me for processing, then DM me as soon as possible on Discord so I can replace you. Every Prog has multiple "Managers", I expect these managers to communicate among themselves where to consolidate the list of sign-ups (preferably a Google Spread Sheet), and to help each other record this data thoroughly, and then present to me when sign-ups close. If there is some sort of obstacle to this, please DM me as soon as possible. Sign up Rules: Signing up is mostly done IC. We presume these people all have a plan, and the fact that they have a plan is known wider. Your Character already knows this, and will come up to them pledging their support for this plan. The signee can reject your Character IC if they feel in-roleplay that your character is a traitor or hostile to the completion of their plan. How you have all roleplayed in the past months will carry forward into the Progressions, and if your character has acted as a traitor to some agents, they can IC bar your character from participating in a Progression. If the person agrees to sign up your Character IC, you should send them your full sign up details OOC (Discord DM? Forum DM?) You can only sign up a single Character, and you can only sign up to one Progression. Draga Ifrit participants have already had their progression and are locked out of further sign ups, for example. When you have completed the IC pledge in whatever manner you deem fit the following information must be transferred to the manager on an OOC basis so they can record the correct information: A Link to your Approved Character Application (non approved apps will be disqualified) Your Character's simple-form name (First name and Last name, no titles or middle-names) Your Character's primary combat weapon or utility (Which weapon, what type of Magic) and if they are not a Combat character, what else they would like to do (Medical, Stealth, Diplomacy) etc. Finally, your Character's Anime Finishing move. This is only applicable for Combat Characters, non Combat Character can ignore this. Not adding an Anime move will disqualify your Character. Lore Staff may eliminate Characters from the final listing for a multitude of reasons (did a faithful Void worshiper just sign up to secure the Unionist temple?, Is this Character literally two days old and didn't participate in the progression? etc.). If you have any questions, please send them to the Rp Com Discord Ticket Bot.
