YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  Your weakness, your vulnerability and unstable heart bleeds through, and there are many creatures, maybe once that were like you, half-fragments, yearning for a heart of their own that watch you from the shadows, waiting for their opportune moment. It really is best not to travel alone....
gaia_crown [ [What is a Zone Enemy? ]
Zone enemies are the manifestation of memories and unstable ???. Maybe someone you know is now one of them. Maybe you were once one of them. They have no substance or reason, and simply wander around aimlessly, struggling to become complete. They are broken and uncomplete. They distort and warp without ever being able to find a sense of self, and because of that they are extremely volatile and dangerous.
gaia_crown [ [Zone Enemy Categories ]
There are various categories of zone enemies. Each zone has a few "simple" zone enemies, ones that haven't become fully complete or are not too dangerous, and then secret boss level categories. These ones are extremely dangerous and may require a very skilled character or a team of a few characters to take them down. They wander various areas of each zone you encounter. Once defeated, they will respawn again to take down others in another day, but shed a bit of the memories and heart fragments (sometimes, used for achievements they were carrying.
gaia_crown [ [Zone Enemy Drops ]
When you defeat a Zone Enemy, it will drop the occasional item. Refer to the list of zone enemies below. You can only fight a zone enemy in the zones you have unlocked. While the storyline (gm orp or prp) portion of that zone may be finished, the zone itself still exists, and the enemies from older zones will leak into the newer ones, unable to find rest. That means you can fight old zone mobs and secret bosses as long as you have cleared/ been on that area in the past.
gaia_crown [ Zone Weapons and Additional Prizes: ]
- Your goal is to fight and defeat zone enemies and obtain enough drops to create Zone Weapons. You will need to drop off your collected drops to create one, which your character can use for this entire event, even outside the zone. It will simply have your character WIELDING it.
- At the end of the event each weapon you obtain will be converted into a weapon of that theme in minipet form. That means EACH time you post in the Zone Weapon Synthesis Guide HERE, you will obtain a unique event minipet of that design!
- In addition, the final zone weapon your character is equipped with will become a Class C artifact. Its passive and/or battle abilities will be converted accordingly and the item will be permanently given to that character. If it is a quest character, your character will get that artifact after its quest has become an enrolled student (ie: they inherited that artifact).

HOW TO ZONE BATTLE (BATTLE ARENA IS OPEN FROM DAY 0 ONWARDS):Reminder: All posts must be filled in to claim an achievement/battle win/complete task. gaia_star [ Step 1a: Assembling a team ].
- In this subforum simply create a thread labelled [ZONE NAME HERE] (CHARACTERS NAME HERE) ZONE BATTLE.
- Make sure icly if you are having multiple players dragged along, that they are all ICly currently in the same area/zone for the encounter (in the main storyline)
- You may fight solo or with UP TO 4 additional team members other than yourself! The max a party can have is 5. If you are searching for party members for your zone, please refer to the LFG thread HERE!
- Please do NOT have more than one character you own in a zone battle thread. You cannot use multiple characters of your own to create a party, now that's just silly and we want to encourage group work!
- You may create or join a new battle every two hours, regardless of finish or not, per character. Once any of those battles have completed, you can roll loot as you'd like. If a battle is incomplete, then you may simply leave it and create another battle within 2 hours again. This means you can have theoretically, multiple battle threads at once!
- Out of respect for other players, please try to finish all battles you join!
- If a player by any chance has finished a battle without a team member posting or even rolling once, that team member will be excluded from the loot!
gaia_star [ Step 1b: Enemy Encounter! ]
- Now, have your team pick a boss from the BEASTIARY below. You can only fight one boss at a time per thread. You will have to make a new thread if you want to fight another boss.
- Next in the first post of your thread, use the form code below to post the stats of the boss. Any team member can do this, but it simply needs to be posted once in the FIRST POST of the zone battle thread you have just created.
- Once this has been posted, it means YOU ARE READY FOR BATTLE!
gaia_star [ Step 2: Engaging in battle ]:
- Now that the boss has been posted, it is free game for all.
- Everyone, regardless of where you are in the zone battles, starts with 30 HP and 2d6-6. You cannot use Fear, Distortion, charged abilities, Artifacts, Insanity weapons, basically you can't use ANYTHING other than melee. Everyone has the same stats regardless of year.
- HOWEVER your character's stats may change depending on the ZONE WEAPON they have equipped (see step 3 for more information)
- Look at the boss auto damage in the post with the current boss stats. This is the damage that your character will take every move you make. Heals count as a move. To make it easy, you cannot defend, only attack and heal. Special abilities (see below) count as a move. Species abilities vary, please look at the species abilities description to see how this works.
- Once your HP hits 0, or goes from positive HP to under 0 HP, you cannot make any more moves. You may take as many posts as you like to use moves (attack/ defend/ heal) UNTIL you run out of HP.
- Use the BATTLE FORM listed below when engaging in battle!
- Repeat this for every team member. That means you can attack, and your team member post underneath you then you again, or you can take up all your turns to attack and then your team member can, or any mixed variation, it doesn't matter! Just make sure you calculate auto damage done to YOU and update your hp AND the damage done to the boss and its REMAINING HP LEFT.
- Even before you RP anything out in your post, update your post with the boss's REMAINING HP LEFT.
- If the boss's HP has hit 0, you have defeated it! Congratulations! You may now move to the LOOT phase.
- If you are the last person in the thread to hit 0 HP and the boss is NOT DEFEATED, then it is game over! You run away, without getting any loot sad You will have to start again to attempt the boss in a new thread!
- In the off case that you take auto damage that brings your HP to zero just as the boss's HP hits 0, it will still count FOR you. It means you may still proceed to the LOOT phase. However you cannot take any more turns at any point in time if your HP is 0 or lower. You can however make IC posts to cheer your opponents, that is fine!
gaia_crown [ THE BATTLE FORM ] *** ROLL YOUR DICE AND THEN IMMEDIATELY UPDATE THE REMAINING HP OF THE BOSS BEFORE YOU DO ANY RP***
** RP PORTION HERE YOU MUST RP THIS OUT ***
[quote="OOC"]
[b]Name of character:[/b]
[b]Damage done:[/b]
[b]CURRENT HP OF BOSS:[/b] Calculate the REMAINING HP of the boss with your damage done, and post it in this area. This is to let the next player know where your team is at! ).
[b]Current HP:[/b] (with added stats of weapon in use / abilities in use)
[b]Special ability:[/b] If applicable
[b]Species Ability:[/b]
[b]Current weapon equipped:[/b] *YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE EQUIPPED ON AT A TIME PER BATTLE even if you have multiple zone weapons obtained* If applicable
[b]TARGET:[/b] If you are healing someone, QUOTE THE TARGET'S GAIA SN AFTER THIS QUOTE. NOW post in the quote what you are healing them for[/quote]
gaia_star [ Step 2b: Special Abilities ]:
- You may use the special ability you earned here without penalty.
exclaim - PLEASE SEE THE SPECIAL ABILITIES POST BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION exclaim
gaia_star [ Step 2c: Species Abilities ]:
- Species abilities work only in arena battles in this subforum. They are not effective during main storyline battles.
exclaim - Please see the SPECIAL ABILITIES POST BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION exclaim
gaia_star Step GAME OVER: DEFEAT ]
-If you are defeated, meaning your entire party hits 0 HP (keep in mind if you hit 0 HP and there are no special revival abilities in the party you CANNOT revive in the same battle), it is GAME OVER. Simply write a defeat post, and you will have to start a NEW thread with a NEW boss and party without receiving any loot sad
gaia_star [ Step 3a: LOOT ]:
- When a boss is defeated they will drop loot. Whomever in the team gets the killing blow for the boss will get to double the loot of whatever they rolled. A killing blow is defined by the blow that knocks a boss's HP from positive to 0 (or lower).
- If a player by any chance has finished a battle without a team member posting or even rolling once, that team member will be excluded from the loot!
- Look at the boss stats and take a look at the loot dropped loot dropped. Use the loot roll mechanics listed for it, and roll accordingly. Match your dice roll to the results below. This is the loot you obtain. You may record it in your heart guide if you feel like your loot will get lost, otherwise, have a handy place to keep track of what loot you have obtained and where for obtaining Zone weapons (see below).
- Loot may not be sold, traded, or given away. What you pick up is yours and only yours to keep forever and ever.
gaia_star [ Step 3b: Obtaining Zone Weapons ]:
- When you gather enough loot, you can synthesize your loot into a zone weapon. See HERE for the Zone Weapon Synthesis guide. When you are ready to synthesize your weapon, simply link to all the theads where you won the loot, and use the dropoff form in the Zone Weapon Synthesis Guide. Congratulations, once you have dropped the form off, you own the weapon for the rest of the event.
- Zone Weapons can be used in regular (storyline) battles as well! Your character now ICly has that item in their possession and may use it for the RP text, the weapon passive ability or of course, its battle ability
- Zone weapons are not NECESSARY for the storyline, think of them as a neat and fun addition and bonus. Your character can function perfectly fine to the main storyline without ever getting a zone weapon.
- You can only have one zone weapon equipped on at a time, even if you have obtained multiple. If you get a better zone weapon, you may now "store" your existing weapons. Weapons are drawn by your will of Heart, so you may choose a different weapon to use per battle you enter, but you cannot swap that weapon for the entire battle duration. You can NEVER EVER swap weapons mid-battle, doing so repeatedly will get you temp banned from battles. Simply choose BEFORE the battle which weapon you obtain. If you get a new weapon while in mid-battle in another, finish up with the old one first, use the new one for new battles created. You cannot give older weapons to other players, they can only be discarded, because your hearts don't match!
- If you are in an existing RP and you won a zone weapon in another win, finish all older rps with your old weapon/ without one and then any new rps you start will have the new weapon.
gaia_star [ Step 4: Cooldowns and uses of Zone Weapons post Meta ]:
- After starting a boss fight, you will have to wait another 2 OOC hours before that character can participate in another zone fight. Again you may fight solo or with a team, but the cooldown is still applicable regardless.
- Make sure you have a way of keeping track of all the loot you've obtained once you post for weapon claims in the Zone weapon Synthesis Guide.
- Your HP IS REFRESHED when you start a new battle thread (for zone battles only)

SPECIAL ABILITIES: UNDERSTANDING HOW THEY WORK IN BATTLE exclaim Please READ THIS before resuming using ANY special abilities in battle This will clarify ALMOST ALL questions regarding them and stacking. This applies to all battles FROM THIS POINT ONWARDS, and any battle posts posted from this point onwards. exclaim
gaia_crown [ What is a special ability or species ability ]
- All players get two bonus abilities. The first is the special ability. This is earned here when you preregistered
- The second is the species ability. All characters of a certain species get this ability (see below)
- Please note, there special abilities function DIFFERENTLY in the battle arena and outside the battle arena. Read each one to see how they function.
gaia_crown [ Special abilities IN BATTLE ARENA ONLY ] ** UPDATED**
* A battle encounter refers to EVERY Arena Battle thread you make or participate in.
gaia_star King's Regret: If you KO, instead of dissipating, you restore yourself to half your existing HP. You can only use this ONCE per encounter. Once you have used it to revive, you cannot use any other abilities (weapon, species, special) period for the entire encounter, including any that double HP, etc etc. You can only auto attack after revival.
gaia_star Knight's Code: You start off with doubled HP every encounter. However the max HP you can ever obtain is 80.
gaia_star Queen's Chosen: You can choose three times every battle encounter to double your attack for that turn. This cannot be stacked with other x2 effects. The max attack power you can have is x2 the original damage you do. This can only be used on melee attack dice and not special weapon effects (under the special effect sign). The attack doubled caps at 20 damage (ie: if multiplied x2 I do 24 damage, it rounds to 20) Example: I roll for 12 damage. I choose to double my attack. I do 24 damage that turn. I can use this two more times in that battle encounter.
gaia_star Bishop's Blessing: You may roll 2d6 to heal a player (no subtraction penalty). You can do this three times per battle encounter.
gaia_star Rook's Ambition: You may select three turns in which you do not take auto damage from the opponent per battle encounter.
gaia_star Wild Card Chance: If you roll an unfavourable loot dice, you can reroll again. You can only do this once per battle encounter.
gaia_crown [ Special abilities OUTSIDE OF BATTLE ARENA ] ** UPDATED**
*This includes any boss battles that happen outside the battle arena as well as side tasks or rp that involve battle and HP mechanics. There are no exceptions as long as it is outside the battle arena subforum.
gaia_star King's Regret: If you KO, instead of dissipating, you restore yourself to half your existing HP. You can only use this once outside the battle arena ever.
gaia_star Knight's Code: You start off with doubled HP. Your HP will remain doubled/ doubled your equip card as long as it hits 0. Once your HP however hits 0, you reset back at NORMAL (non doubled) HP for the rest of the event outside the battle arena.
gaia_star Queen's Chosen: During your turn in any encounter, you may choose to double your attack damage. You may trigger this three times total. This cannot be stacked with other x2 effects. The max attack power you can have is x2 the original damage you do. Example: I roll and get 12 damage. I choose to use Queen's Ability. My damage is now 24 that turn. I used up one of my three triggers. Now I can only do this two more times.
gaia_star Bishop's Blessing: You may roll 2d6 to heal a player (no subtraction penalty). You can do this three times outside the battle arena ever.
gaia_star Rook's Ambition: You may select three turns in which you do not take auto damage from the opponent per battle encounter. You can only use this three times outside the battle arena ever.
gaia_star Wild Card Chance: If you roll an unfavourable dice result, you can reroll again. You can only do this three times outside the battle arena ever, wherever you want to use it. If there is an exception to this rule, it will be announced in the OOC of a thread posted.
gaia_crown [ Species abilities ACTIVE ONLY IN BATTLE ARENA ] **UPDATED**
*Species abilities are only active in battle arena. They are not active outside of it.
gaia_star Monster/ Sun Hunter/ War Horsemen: You start off with 2d8-8 instead of 2d6-6. Once you equip a weapon this is invalid.
gaia_star Demon/ Moon Hunter/ Conquest Horsemen: You start off with 40 HP instead of 30 HP. Once you equip a weapon this is invalid.
gaia_star Reaper/ Death Hunter/ Death Horsemen: If you miss with the attack dice, you can reroll again without penalty. Once you equip a weapon this is invalid.
gaia_star Undead/ Life Hunter/ Famine Horsemen: You may heal an opponent for your attack dice roll once PER battle encounter. Once you equip a weapon this is invalid.
gaia_star Ghost/ Mist Hunter: Your first three successful battles will yield you double the drop. Once you equip a weapon this is invalid.
gaia_crown [ Weapon abilities ] ** UPDATED**
- Weapon abilities cannot be used outside the battle arena. A weapon ability is the ability in the flavour text of an equipped weapon card. If you use a weapon ability that turn, it overrides an existing species or special ability on that turn * with the exception of Knight's Code (the doubled HP persists throughout battle).
- You cannot use a weapon ability outside the battle arena. You are free to equip it for its attack dice and HP, however.
gaia_crown [ STACKING ABILITIES ] ** UPDATED**
- Abilities can NOT be stacked ever. One ability will simply override the other. It is up to you which ability you want to use that turn (weapon's ability, species ability, OR special ability) but the second you use it, that ability will override other abilities or existing ones on that turn. Basically imagine you have one ability slot per turn. You can only fill this with one thing of your ability choices (weapon, species or special).
gaia_star The only exception to the rule is Knight's Code as your HP will always be doubled.
gaia_star This means you can only have x2 double damage ever.
gaia_star This means you can only have x2 HP ever.
gaia_star This means you can only have x2 loot.
gaia_star This means you can only have one ability active ever, be it weapon, species, or special.
