[X] My Assistant

[Letan]

One of the main complaints about the previous, casual Uprising RP was that people had no idea as to what they should do for missions. So I have decided to produce this topic to assist you with ideas for missions. Basically, it is up to you to create your own missions.

The Objective
The "filling" of the mission is the objective itself. In the city, Team Magma and Aqua have set up several facilities, which can be targets for missions. To remain logical, assume that these facilities are pretty well-guarded, especially vehicle production facilities. However, facilities with a lesser importance, such as storage facilities that do not contain anything incredibly valuable, would either be barely guarded, or not guarded at all.

Magma/Aqua: Try to raid eachother's storage facilities, or steal eachother's blueprints for vehicles. Or, if you're a simple Recruit or Grunt, you could do something simple such as patrol duty at a facility.

The Rebellion: Most likely, your objectives could involve stealing equipment from facilities, or spy on what vehicles are being developed. Due to the secrecy of The Rebellion, stealth would most likely be required for logical completion of the mission.


The Opposing Force
With every mission, there are obstacles. These obstacles can be physical obstacles, or other factions getting in the way of your goal. Try to plan something that makes sense for the number of foes you will encounter, as explained previously. It would make sense for there to be an incredibly large amount of Aqua operatives inside Kyogre's Maw, their main base. The same applies with Magma and Groudon's Thumb. Also, important locations such as these would be very secure, so just simply walking in through the front door will not work. Try to throw some inanimate obstacles at your character. Locked doors, for example, would apply to this situation. Also, since your character starts off as being weak and inexperienced, do not throw impossible obstacles at your character by accepting difficult missions. Try to work your way up, but also try to make some challenges for your character. Accepting simple missions will only make progressing in rank to take much longer.

Magma: Just plain raiding Aqua's main base would be a suicidal mission, as failure is practically guaranteed. Also, if Magma were to raid Aqua's main base and wipe them out right away, that would basically result in the end of the RP. Since Magma is in control of the city itself, aim on neutralizing the threat of Aqua invading or establishing a presence in the city. The Rebels are your other main enemy. Magma does not know where the Rebels are hiding exactly, although they are capable of arresting people that are suspected of being Rebels. And better yet, if a Rebel infiltrates one of your facilities, why not attempt to follow a trail of clues that the Rebel left?

Aqua: Just plain raiding Magma's main base would be a suicidal mission, as failure is practically guaranteed. Also, if Magma were to raid Aqua's main base and wipe them out right away, that would basically result in the end of the RP. Aqua is attempting to establish operations in the city. At first, Aqua is trying to, like the Rebels, be as discreet as possible. With Magma cracking down on any Aqua operatives in the city, setting up shop will be difficult, so defence against Magma would be vital. The Rebels, on the other hand, would virtually be unaware of Aqua at first, which means that Aqua would virtually be unaware of The Rebellion. If The Rebels discovered what Aqua was planning however, that could be troublesome.

Rebellion: Magma's oppressive force in the city is the main threat to The Rebellion. Launching a raid on Groudon's Thumb or Kyogre's Maw is basically out of the question. Since Aqua is starting off as being discreet, they would not be a known rival right away. Focus on getting back at Magma for the time being, while being secretive about it.


The Plan
Once you have come up with a mission, you should come up with a plan on how to accomplish the mission. Also, you can plan possible missions with your faction in the Uprising Discussion section. For example, Aqua could plan to seize major Magma facilities aside from Groudon's Thumb and possibly The Keep. An example of a facility up for grabs is the hydroelectric dam, which provides power to the city. Whoever controls it, can tap into the power source and provide more energy to their base or vehicle production facilities. It's up to you guys on how you want to do things, just try not to go overboard with it.

This topic will be left open in case anyone has questions or suggestions on things to add to the Mission Guide.
