5-tails IC hunt Setup (Eric v Sabumaru)
Eric:
Recently Sabumaru formally challenged me for the 5-tails, IC hunt style. Keeping in mind with the rules, there are many things that need to be sorted out. Since it will definitely include more than just me and Sabumaru, I felt that making a thread was the easiest way to keep everything sorted. Plus:
--- Quote ---The general flow of the RP will be charted out by the Hunter, the Hunted, a BGM, a backup BGM, and a Judge. The goal is to create a reasonable RP scenario where the Hunted and the Hunter at some point confront each other in some shape or fashion (it does not have to be a battle, but that is the most common direction for "confrontation"). The RP should take into consideration the desires of Support, and the discussion should take place on the forums and in public. The group has 2 weeks to setup and agree to the terms of the RP.
--- End quote ---
Without further ado, let's get started with listing what we already have set in stone and what we still need:
Hunter - Sabumaru
Hunted - Eric
BGM - Kamui
Back-up BGM - <Unknown>
Judge - Athos
Support - <Hunted> Soya, <Hunter> Dart
Hunter preferences also listed below:
Preferred BGM: Shadow, Athos, Kamui, Kirk, Kayenta, Tomi, Asadi, Gyururu, Kage, Rusaku, Rikudo, Becquerel
Preferred Scenario: Eric is a missing ninja who leads the Nara Order organization. Knowledge of him being a summoner/host would come from him practicing/training with Kokuo out in the field. The BGM would most likely have a random witness, be it some bird randomly interrogated or a civilian watching from a guard post. They can also learn directly from Athos Uzumaki, who gifted Eric the biju in the first place.
Whether the summoned biju engages in battle or not, the beast cannot be transported by anyone other than the summoner via space-time ninjutsu unless the contract is broken via contract seal. The beast does not have to be fought for, however, as Eric is not above handing over his latest tool in exchange for something valuable, or in exchange for a favor (to be done IC).
If a fight though is preferred, then the first 4 points of my OOC list apply, with the inclusion that the fight itself should take place in biju arena, not on SL. Once the fight concludes the RP then can move back to the zone.
Like the OOC stuff, this is all of course negotiable, but I would rather not stray from this. Also, any arguments need to be settled in between the parties, in public, so no RPing party is left out of the loop here.
Since I am not sure where Sabumaru is in RP right now, I can't really propose anything more concrete regarding the RP scenario at the moment.
Preferences aside, any volunteers for the positions of BGM, Backup BGM, or Judge are welcome.
=====================================
*Space reserved for agreed upon Elements of the RP scenario*
- Sabu, via his network of informants, knows that Eric is the 5-tails summoner.
Eric and Soya arrive in the Graveyard because of rumors of some of Bocchiere's items (his scythe, amulet, cloak, the Akatsuki rings, etc.) are up for sale. The large presence of merchants, bandits, and the like supports this ultimately false rumor started by none other than some NPC guy named Hizaan. Said character intends on making a fortune pawning off fake, but well gilded, articles from the infamous The Akatsuki member and former Mist Ninja.
As Bocchiere had also run off with an article or two from Kirigakure (if we are going by Bocchiere's old character history) Dart initially arrives to try to ascertain the truth and maybe even get one of these articles back when he is approached by a familiar face, Sabu. Sabu and Dart exchange formalities and, through one sentence or another, the matter of a debt unpaid comes up and the two pair up to look for Eric Nara.
By this point all of the 4 principle characters will either be on their way to or already at the main auction. Bounty hunters, missing ninja, and even a few regular village nin are among the crowd, along with non-combatants like shady business-people, art collectors, religious scholars (jashinist and other), etc. The BGM has a good bit of freedom in who to choose and who to put, but the most powerful characters should be the 4 principle ones, Hunter, Hunted, and the 2 Support. BGM also has a lot of freedom in the characterization of Hazaan, but it should fit the motif of a successful scam artist of some caliber pretty well.
Once all 4 characters are at the auction location, the auction begins, starting with a warm-up item of an old, worn cloak with the characteristic Akatsuki pattern claimed to have been the last thing worn by the former ninja, possessing cursed powers that would make one just short of immortal for wearing it along with the other items. It then proceeds to a ring set that has a striking resemblance to the authentic Akatsuki rings. Then a scythe that looks much like Bocchiere's, but functionality is decreased due to "wear from battle". This sort of thing can go on for awhile, but ultimately ends with the presentation of a jar containing the "immortality fluids", a mixture of Bocchiere's own bodily fluids and the very chemicals needed to make one a jashinist immortal. The cream of the crop is actually the entrails of some animal placed in goo, with some blood red dye thrown in for effect, but since the true nature of the chemicals would be unknown to everyone in the audience, this particular item would be wildly contested.
While all of this is going on, among the crowd are the 4 principle characters. Sabu and/or Dart, whichever is a sensor, at some point senses the residue 5-tails chakra coming from Eric's tattoo. Now how they approach is entirely up to them, be it outright interrupting the auction with an attack, attempting to more subtly maneuver, or attempt to bid on an item that Eric bids on, that is more or less up to them.
As the Hunted of the group, Eric and Soya would have reasonable reason to have a lookout in case of attack; this is a pretty shady location, after all. They, however, initially do not know who would attack, when, or for that matter where until the attack materializes. Only if given a reason (as decided by a judge if necessary) should they specifically suspect Dart and Sabu.
From there, if the Hunters wait for the auction to close out, then as the crowd disperses, Eric and Soya will be leaving with the general crowd, it thinning out as they get farther from the auction area. On the other hand, if they interrupt the auction, then the BGM decides how the crowd reacts and how Hizaan reacts, though in general while Hizann and the patrons will not be happy that the auction is being interrupted, a great enough show of strength (as decided between judge and BGM) will be more than enough to disperse them.
Since the rules forbid the Hunted from just leaving the area, it is reasonable to say that if it comes down to a fight, the participants must either kill/capture each other or convince the other party to stop fighting. Sabu's character, from what I read up on, does not seem the reasoning type, but as I have said before, Eric is a pretty low-key guy, and has no shame giving up a tailed beast if it means his life.
======================
*Other agree upon terms*
3 second rule: If it takes less than 3 seconds to prepare, execute, and reach the intended target, then the target has at least 3 seconds to react to that move before being threatened with the full extent of that move's damage. That, along with BGM posts, should keep moments in the fight from dragging on into eternity.
Once the BGM makes the entry post stating that certain events happen (IE, they state the outcome of dodge attempts, etc.) no player is allowed to post anything that contradicts those events without a judge ruling.
Sabumaru:
Okay so I'm a little drunk but here goes.

Basically as far as I understand this, here's what's happening: Sabumaru (to be called Sabu from now on) is a very world-wise man with an intelligence network built out of his shitty small clan. He knows where the Gobi is, and wants it so he can manipulate steam and take another step towards becoming a Water Deity. So therefore Sabu is actively hunting Eric for the Gobi.

We agreed on Rusaku if he's open to the idea, but Asadi/Tomi/Athos/Kamui would also be acceptable for me.

So yeah like my drunk ass said above, Sabu has a network of people running around to watch stuff. Eric if you don't like this logic then PM me my dude so we can work something more natural out. :)
But like seriously my clan does have informants so this is not unrealistic to assume that Sabu would have been told where the Gobi was.

I'd prefer to do it on the forum too. This is all good.

Basically Sabu is in his clan halls right now, but his informants are kicking around and being sneaky about who they are, so that would basically boil down to Sabu having the information (who the host of the "Steam Beast" is) and just abandoning what he's doing to pursue that goal. This is pretty common behaviour for this character.
Also yeah if anyone who I didn't list as preferred volunteers then that's probably Gucci with me (save for Kirk. Not for any reason besides I'm drunk and fuck you Kirk.)
Okay so if I need to do anything else let me know?
I should really know this system better. I just get so bored of all the words. That's why I'm on the council, ya'll need someone who can digest the excessive typing and regurgitate it in a way that is accessible to the community.
Anyways, let me know what I'm missing and I'll fill out those forms too.
God bless, and watch out for snakes because they're legless bitches.
Rusaku:
Yeah I can do it if you guys want. I just need details on what I'll be expected to do.
Eric:
Just to be clear, Rusaku cannot be a judge (he is a Council member), but he can be a BGM. His responsibilities would be, as quoted from the IC rules:
--- Quote ---Biju RP Game-Master: A player or set of players that control the non-player elements of the roleplay (NPC's, natural weather, rogue tailed beasts, etc.) and are responsible for keeping the roleplay focused and in order. Shortnamed "BGM", this role is not to be confused with the staff Game-Masters, whose RP responsibilities encompass all of the realm's RP and are expected to take punitive action towards players violating game rules and disrupting the peace of the site. Staff Game-Masters may take on this role and thus perform both their normal duties and the biju RP GM duties.
--- End quote ---
With that said, the job for the judge is:
--- Quote ---Judge: A player or group of players agreed upon by the participants in the RP to preside over the entire RP in order to settle disputes and make decisions about the outcome of the roleplay, usually when called upon by at least one player. These decisions are non-negotiable, and support the GM in making the battlefield status update.
--- End quote ---
Athos has messaged me saying that he is interested in back-up BGM, so that's confirmed, and Rusaku has I think volunteered to be the BGM. All we need then is a judge and we will have our officials sorted out. I will have to get around to messaging some of the other names and asking if they're up for judge.
I currently have a "support" player, Soya.

Well, continue discussing the structure of the RP is a must (the BGM needs some idea on what to set up, what kind of NPC's he can think about creating, etc.), but I also offer that you get a support character to help your character out during the RP, as otherwise it would be a 1v2 situation.
As for the scenario, I can accept that Sabu knows about Eric being the 5-tails "host" through these informants of his. I want to keep this as relatively simple as possible because there is already alot going on.
Also, make sure to read over the "Order and Flow of the Biju Hunt" as it pretty much lines up how the RP itself is going to play out. For convenience I will go ahead and post some of the pertinent parts here:
--- Quote ---------- Player characters may use up to 3 actions, all clones of a single character share a 1 action limit, and all summons share a 2 action limit. Special rules such as the Edo and Biju summoning rules trump the action limit rule when applicable (for example, a biju summoner can only do 1 action according to the Biju Rules, and the biju can only do 2 actions).
------- BGM's will always make the first post establishing the environment, while all other players will take turn posting in the order in which they made an entry post into the area or zone. Participant characters (including rogue biju and NPC elements) are not allowed to attack on the entry post, nor are they allowed to permanently leave the RP nor fight by any means. Any time spent in pocket dimensions and other such places must be kept to a maximum of 5 non-consecutive turns ( 1 action entering and 1 action leaving) for the entirety of a RP.
-------- Each round consists of each player's turn, which consists of a specific player's actions in the RP. At the beginning of each round, the BGM will post an "update" to the environment in order to facilitate a unified image of the battlefield. If required the judge and the BGM may work together to make sure that the intended post is accurate and, if judge rulings were made, that the consequences of said ruling are incorporated into the post.
--------- Discussions regarding the RP should take place in an OOC board (on SL) or in a separate thread from the fight (SL forum). It is every players' responsibility to maintain order and decency in the thread. Insults should not be present, even passive aggressively, and all players are encouraged to report any behavior that he or she considers disruptive to Staff (even if it is one of the Staff doing the action).
--- End quote ---
As for the time period this would take place, I would say after the new home for the 5-tails has been found, the remote island/whatever that was to be the new home for the physical tailed beast (it was kind of in a really big basement area prior to that) but the RP itself probably won't be taking place there.
Instead we might can have it take place at the Mountain's Graveyard or something of that sort, which, since Bocchiere's departure from the place, has become overrun with wannabe Akatsuki's, bandits, black market merchants, etc. Eric and Soya might can be visiting the placle for some reason, and Sabu would arrive on the scene having been following the trail from The Land of Waves (where they would have returned after dropping Kokuo off on the remote location). Kind of making it up as I go, all participants are free to chip in on this whole scenario thing.

Okay, this sounds fine to me.
Just thinking off the cuff: Sabu has been after Kokuo and assumed Eric was it's host after getting his info (regardless of the truth) so he deliberately set up some sort of thing in Mountains Graveyard to lure Eric there, maybe via Dart or something, planning to kill him off once he showed up.
Idk what would motivate Eric to go there, maybe some sort of deal/purchase or something.
