Alignment: Neutral Chaotic

History:


After the bitter defeat in the previous PXFire event, Prankster Platoon disbanded, however, a few loyal members remained, willing to find their second chance for success. These members were even more daring and even more destructive than their previous team were due to the revenge they have their eyes set on. Not wanting to go too far, they have some rules they have to abide by, but other than those rules, everything else is on the table.
As time went on, the team began to dwindle into nothingness and Prankster Platoon was over, however this allowed the birth of a new more radical group. The Sabotage Squadron. Founded by the Prankster Platoon veteran Coru, their direction shifted to a more radical side. Coru's idealism is to create anarchy to remove those that defeated Prankster Platoon last year from their safe confines so that his new team can reach victory. Now looking for PXFire veterans and new recruits to join the cause so they can make a change through the anarchy they want.


Recruitment:


You arrive to an abandoned shopping mall, wandering if it was a foolish idea to go. There are rumours it's haunted, that it's full of dangerous people, that killer animals live there that escaped from zoos. With a deep breath, you decide to jump into the mall fro a broken window but you do not expect to see what you find before you.
http://i66.tinypic.com/24v49kk.png
You are faced with a massive sign spray painted directly onto a large wall. Overwhelmed you stand there gaping at it, not sure wether to be afraid of intrigued. Whilst you are standing there a rather rugged looking person comes over from behind.


"And who might you be?!" He beams, giving you a fright.
"A trespasser maybe who wanted to explore the haunted mall on a dare? Or maybe someone looking for a thrill seeking group to help them realise their true potential. He continued. You just stand there not knowing what to say.
"Well whoever you are, I'm Coru."
He offers his grubby hand for a handshake. You don't know if it is a good idea but you shake it. You decide the best approach is to go along with this story to make sure you don't end up in a situation you don't feel comfortable in.
"Now, as you can see, this is the HQ of The Sabotage Squadron. We aim to disrupt the establishment so we can take charge. I'll show you around."
The man takes you to what must have been the security office and introduces you to the other few member and explains to you why they are there. As they explain what happened to their organisation and why they are now in hiding, you begin to relate to them. Thinking that maybe you want to join them.

"So, that's our story. Sorry for spooking you, haha. We may look threatening and act that way too but we just want to return our organisation back to how it was and show the powers that be that we aren't gone. Before we were just focussed on playing pranks that messed with people, we didn't realise how that made us seem like a bunch of delinquents and distract people from our message, so we have now focussed our goals and what we will do. We aim to represent the people that don't belong and just want to have fun. Against the establishment. We want a bit of anarchy, but that's fine. I will warn you. Some people call us criminals, some people want us apprehended, but they haven't caught us yet, so i can assure you, we are standing strong against them. Are you in?"

You can either say no and take a brisk walk out of there, pretending it never happened, or you can nod and join their ranks. What will it be?

"Good choice. Now, time to get to work. Here's a banner for you to take around with you. We need all recruits we can get if we are going to be successful, but make sure you don't go round waving it. We are still in hiding of course.
Go and write your name on the members list and while you are at it, go and check out our goal statement and our rules. Welcome to the team."
Coru walks off, presumably to find new recruits. You find your way and settle in, readying yourself for the challenges to come.

Banners and Avatars:

Fill in this form if you want to have a banner for your signature. Send it to me in a PM please so it doesn't clog up our discussion/sign up thread. Welcome to the team!

Name:
Codename:
Colour:
Character:

Images with transparent backgrounds will work much better for the banners and if you can, get an image which is as big as possible.
If you want a avatar to match let me know, it will be a similar style but will not have the codename on, just your name and imagery may be a tad different too to fit it in the size. Banners will be 600 x 200 pixels and avatars 150 x 150 pixels.

Goal Statement:

We intend to destabilise society and bring an end to the injustices we have faced. Anarchy is needed to create true freedom and we intend to free all that don't fit into the confines of the current world in the only way we can. Through Sabotage and Pranks.

Rules:

- Defect if you must, but no trading our team secrets and location.
- Always play fair.
- Believe in ourselves and our goal.
- Belief in a better future.
- Do not go too far with our sabotage. No large scale sabotage which will cause injury will be tolerated unless authorised.
- Uniforms must be worn when in the base.
- Pranks and Sabotage expeditions can be carried out in teams or individually, just don't get caught!

A shape leaps in through an open window, rolls once, and springs up on all fours. "I'm back, fellow Prankst-- aw, no one saw my cool entrance! That's a shame. I guess I'll redo it when there are more recruits."

Name: LKWayvern
Codename: 'Eldritch Storyteller'
Were you a part of the original Prankster Platoon?: You bet!
Sections you will be competing it: Roleplaying
Sections you may possibly volunteer for: Graphic Art, Creative Writing(if I don't judge it)
Why do you want to join us: First, I'm an original Prankster Platoon member. Second, I recently learned that even people who don't know me on the internet think I'm an agent of chaos.

Welcome back. I noticed the entry and it was awesome!

I'm gonna start doing banners for members soon (and avatars if anyone wants any) so feel free to request one. It'll probably be easier if you PM me the details for it.
Use this form if it's easier.

Name:
Codename:
Primary Colour: Always Green
Secondary Colour:
Imagery:

For imagery, give me up to 3 images. They will be layered over each other giving the effect of the banner in the OP. One may be a character that resembles your character for the team and others could be background images. For background images I suggest things that involve fire to fit with our teams aesthetic.
If you want a avatar to match let me know, it will be a similar style but will not have the codename on, just your name and imagery may be a tad different too to fit it in the size. Banners will be 600 x 200 pixels and avatars 150 x 150 pixels.

Note that I'm keeping an eye on this since my main event will probably be RP, and I tend to do dark-aligned characters. :eyes: But hangin' around to see what else pops up. Definitely interested, though!

...Coru, it's just occurred to me that you misspelled squadron.
We could make this a character choice then. Rebel against even spelling and grammra.

@K'sariya (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/member.php?u=6446) Sounds good. If you end up joining we can change up the narrative of the group a bit to fit everyone's ideas for the RP.
@LKWayvern (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/member.php?u=5543) Gahh!!!!! Darn it... uhhh.. i mean... totally intentional.. I could change it, but if you want to keep it we can. What do you think?

I am apathetic. If you'd like to change it, then go for it.

Coru when are you going to submit the team for application?

Coru
06-14-2018, 12:49 AM
@arnisd (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/member.php?u=6736)
Wanted to see how many people we would get and wanted to make sure our teams goals and story was good for anyone wanting to do the roleplay or if it needed to be tweaked.
Will submit it now as I assume it's fine if no one has mentioned anything :)
Also, feel free to request a banner.
I'm going to redesign the banners as I feel they are a little messy and I want to make our team a bit more focussed.
Hopefully we will get a few more recruits soon.

Sabotage will set us free!

Sorry for the double post. @arnisd (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/member.php?u=6736) @LKWayvern (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/member.php?u=5543)

I've made us a logo, hope you guys like it.
http://i64.tinypic.com/2diou87.png
I've also redesigned my banner to how I think the style should work better. I'll redo LKWayvern's if that's ok, and arnisd feel free to request one. :D

K'sariya Thank you! My inner graphic designer kept screaming at me to make one lol.

Guys, do you think we should flesh out our team a bit, make it a bit more fun?
I think I might rearrange the OP a bit and might add a few things. I think we should come up with some sort of ranking system similar to how pokemon evil teams work? Then people could then be what they want to be wether it's a grunt, an admin, a veteran etc. If we are going to be humans for the event we could all also have a partner pokemon for this and each could have a little backstory they want. If we do that I could create a little stats graphic for the team too and maybe a little userbar with it in too? idk. What do you guys think?

LKWayvern
06-15-2018, 12:48 AM
I love this idea. Y'all can probably guess my partner Pokemon in one attempt.

arnisd
06-16-2018, 12:19 PM
Coru First off, I like that logo, second I like the idea and third I'mma request one of those nice banners you're making :p, I'll send you a message when I've figured out what I want on it

Coru
06-16-2018, 02:54 PM
Cool!
Could you guys let me know what your partner pokemon will be and also their nickname and i'll add that to your stats (I'll create a stats board graphic at some point) I assume yours will be an umbreon LKWayvern :P
Also, do you guys want me to put you up as admins? As you are the first two to join, I think that qualifies you as an admin, unless you wish to be a different rank?
I'm gonna be a bit busy over the next few days, my sister in law just out of the blue asked me for an art commission for her friend's birthday and it's gonna take a while lol, but when I've got that done, I'll work on those graphics for us. I'll create a userbar to go in our postbit too. Feel free to do any artsy stuff for the team too, the more the better :D

LKWayvern
06-16-2018, 05:34 PM
Got it in one. I guess my umbreon's nickname will be 'Koray'?
And I'd be cool with being an admin. Former Prankster Platoon member and all that.

We have a few less members than other teams, but we can do this! We are strong. Let chaos come out on top and lets do this!
I'm gonna add a points counter for our team when we get points so let me know if any of you get awarded points. Let's do this!

The event has started but it doesn't mean you can't sign up. Feel free to join us if you fancy a bit a sabotage and chaos.

06-27-2018, 03:37 PM

We have 20 points so far!
Good luck for the results of the other competitions.
The other teams are in the lead at the moment as they have quite a lot of members across the spread of events. I'm gonna try and have a go at showdown if I can, try and break in some of those points because the teams almost got 50 points each for that lol. Not much of a competitive battler though so not sure what's gonna happen lol.
I think our strong point is part 2 with the more art based stuff. Excited for that.
