Welcome to DEUS EX gaia_crown [ FOR ALL CHARACTERS ]: Students, Horsemen, and Hunters, please read BELOW. Choose a location (see BELOW), and read the rules/ mechanics in one of the FOUR locations.
- If your character missed the rp tie-in they can STILL JOIN. Simply read all rules below, and the STUDENT/ HORSEMEN section as well, so you know what is going on. It is then assumed that your character was there during the event here (read conclusion for summary) and here.
- For students/horsemen it means EVERYONE did drink/ touch the water and are free to roam in the barrier. The only instance of a student/horsemen not wanting to get past the barrier is if they icly CHOSE not to drink the water. In that case you are stuck at the Jungle Portal only for that character.
- WHEN NOT IN PVP please use the BOTTOM TWO FORMS for posting your OOC format.
- WHEN IN PVP: please read more about PVP rules after finishing reading this post and use the PVP form in your OOC format.
- We are not doing any rewards or prizes related to minipets/ free art/ trophies PERIOD for this siege, as this is a serious event for those who really enjoy engaging hands-on rping: there will however BE POTENTIAL IC REWARDS TO HELP FURTHER PLOTTING.
gaia_crown [ TIME LIMIT/ POINTS ]:
For all students: the backup barrier will be set up in exactly 30 minutes. HOWEVER, if you manage to deactivate the security room (see below, Main HQ), then you can buy yourself another 30 minutes. A GM POST WILL GO UP if this actually happens.
- Because we really, really don't want any time traveling students/ etc, we are dividing this into ACTION POINTS. All characters get 30 action points. That means you can only spend 30 action points before your character is STUCK AT WHATEVER BASE YOU LEFT THEM AT THE 30 POINTS. That does mean if your character is in the Main HQ and they just used up 30/30, they are STUCK THERE. Good luck getting out, seriously :T you are boned. For Hunters this doesn't matter much but you do want to PROTECT YOUR BASES as much as you can. Your goal is to engage in as many students as you can in order to stop them from destroying the bases! If a base is destroyed/ HP is 0 that means a student/horsemen gets the goodies! Think of this as a sort of siege tower game (cough, Wintergrasp, cough)
gaia_crown [ USED UP LIMIT POINTS ]:
- When you hit 30/30 action points used you cannot move from your spot. You cannot engage in battle. You can chat/ make useless dialogue in the main base thread, but literally, your character is stuck there. You can't even die/dissipate okay, you are seriously stuck/ think of it as your character has "completed" whatever it is.
gaia_crown [ Swapping Threads/ Taking Over Zones ]:
- Please see below in the STUDENT or HUNTER section for your choice in threads (MAIN ZONES) to go to. Your student, Horsemen OR Hunter have two modes: PVP or no PVP. No PVP means they are in one of the main base threads, noone has quote challenged them, and they are (if student or horsemen) destroying the HP of the main base or self-healing (see student/horsemen or hunter section)
- Every time you attack the HP of the zone/ attack the zone barrier, it will cost you 1 action point! If you take down the zone, you get the IC rewards from that zone and that zone is considered TAKEN.
- You can swap to any thread you like, but every time you do that it costs 5 action points. That means you can go from Main HQ to Infirmary, but that is 5 action points so BE CAREFUL.
- Ultimately to escape your student or horsemen wants to be at the Jungle Zone with the HP of the zone at 0, otherwise YES, you will get stuck in Deus Ex.
- Zones HPs cannot be defended OR healed.
gaia_crown [ OOC Information ]:
- Make sure at the bottom of your OOC post along with your HP, description, etc, that you include your time, so people don't try to engage in 30/30's. (See forms below)

CREATING A PVP AND HOW TO:
gaia_crown [ The Challenge: ]
- If ANYONE quotes your character and rolls a 1d20 with the word CHALLENGE in their quote to you, that means they are challenging YOUR CHARACTER to a battle. You can also challenge any character who has not EXITED (or been quote challenged) into a battle. You can quote multiple opponents if you want. All factions can do this.
- Characters can only be challenged if they do not have 30/30 points used (or if it doesn't go over 30/30 AND they are currently not quoted in battle ie: their current status is not EXITED). Sometimes due to irl time zones people who have not EXITED that have actually been quoted for a challenge! Make sure you don't grab them by accident!
- Basically anyone who is currently attacking the bases/ Hunters not exited is free game!
gaia_crown [ How Many Challenges Can I Make?: ]
- You can take on as many as you THINK YOU CAN HANDLE. That means you can quote anyone in your zone as a potential "ally" and then quote two opponents. That will make it a 2 vs 2 pvp.
- Don't forget when quoting them and rolling the 1d20 to challenge you include the word CHALLENGE in your quote to them.
- You CANNOT quote 5 team mates and then quote an opponent. The numbers need to be even OR, less. That means you can do yourself versus 2 or yourself versus three if you are feeling risky but you cant quote two of your buddies and one student/ horsemen.
- Make sure for ALLIES you have their OOC permission. Some characters are busy and have other things to do! For challenging you don't need their permission because.... SURPRISE!
gaia_crown [ Making the PVP thread: ]
- MAKING A THREAD: The person who quotes EVERYONE THEY ARE CHALLENGING INCLUDING ALLIES needs to be the one to make the thread.
- Label the thread as [ZONE NAME HERE ] [TITLE HERE ] [CHARACTERS HERE]. In your challenge quote in the MAIN THREAD where you challenged these characters, make an exit post and QUOTE THE CHARACTERS so they can exit too. In the quote, link to the PVP thread.
- A character can only be in ONE PVP thread at a time. If you own multiple characters obviously you get to move each one as you wish.
gaia_crown [ PVP Point Usage: ]
- INSIDE A PVP AREA, you do not need to subtract points per attack you use, only calculate the below:
- However, all players need to subtract points, just once equal to your OPPONENT's total point value, regardless if they challenged or were challenged. Ie if there's just one player, you just subtract their value. If there's two opponents you need to subtract both their values. Do this only once per PVP thread.
Year one Halloween students: Year one Halloween students take up 1 action points PER character. You do not include allies, only opponents. You only calculate this one PER PVP battle.
Year one Hunters/ Year one Horsemen/ Year Two Students: Take up 2 action points PER character. You do not include allies, only opponents. You only calculate this one PER PVP battle.
Year two Hunters/ Year Three Students: Take up 3 action points PER character. You do not include allies, only opponents. You only calculate this one PER PVP battle.
Year Three Hunters: Take up 4 action points PER character. You do not include allies, only opponents. You only calculate this one PER PVP battle.
Hunter Assistants/ Horsemen Protectors: The current Hunter assistants potentially rped are: Lance (Marushii), Simon (Lizbot), Mark, and Charlotte (Zoobey). The current Horsemen Protectors are Eris (x_Nata_x), Aisa (Random Artist), Invictus (Demon_pachabel), and Cymbeline (Grey Dragon). They each take up 5 action points per character. You do not include allies, only opponents. You only calculate this one PER PVP battle.
Hunter Leads / Horsemen Lead : Hunter Leads take up 15 action points per character and are extremely risky to engage. Encountering Medea will also take up 15 action points. You only calculate this PER PVP battle. You CANNOT challenge a lead: they can and possibly will continue to throw a wrench into things until they feel properly threatened and quote YOU/ your characters into PVP. To get a general feel of who the leads are, you can find them all HERE
gaia_crown [ General Battle Mechanics/ SUDDEN DEATH: ]
- All battles are SUDDEN DEATH. Make sure to follow for general attack mechanics the battle guide HERE. Charge attacks and Fear attacks are aokay. Natural abilities within reason are aokay and so are natural forms. Once a Fear/ Charged attack has been used you cannot use it again THE REST OF THE SIEGE BATTLE.
- Charge attacks carry over. That means if you acquire 3/3 in a previous PVP you can use it in another PVP. (This applies only to Hunters).
- The player who has MADE THE THREAD (see above), will also quote all players involved in this PVP THREAD AND of course set up a small rp.
- Now, EACH OF THE PLAYERS WILL GET TO ROLL EXACTLY three times. They can do this at any time. Make in battle to to use the form BELOW (in this post) for OOC status EVERY POST If players are online, you can alternate exchanges with others ie: you roll, and then attack, I roll and then attack a reply, you roll etc plan it out over aim/ pms. If you are not in their timezone, just roll 3 times whenever you get online and rp out your posts.
- You can defend or heal instead of attacking. Make sure to quote your target if applicable.
- After ALL PLAYERS HAVE ROLLED three times, the BATTLE IS CONSIDERED CONCLUDED. Players can return back to their normal threads again (ie: if you were battling in the Main HQ, you are now back at the main HQ THREAD and your action is currently FREE/ NO PVP. ) HOWEVER, if a player does not make any post after 12 OOC hours it is assumed they automatically use up all their turns/ take up the damage they did and do no damage in return. The thread is now disassembled/ other players can now continue onwards without punishment.
- Characters cannot cross the 0 HP damage threshold.
- You cannot target the same character 2 times in a row if there is more than one target. That means you could attack character A then B and then A. You cannot do A A B or B B A, but you could also do B A B.
gaia_crown [ SAMPLE PVP POST ]
Here is a sample of a PVP post. If NEGA ZOO and Bob do not respond, then it is assumed that they take the damage and forfeit their turns after 12 hours/ the PVP battle is OVER.
USE THIS POST FOR PVP THREADS ONLY: [quote="OOC"] [b]YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME HERE[/b] is targeting [b]CHARACTER NAME HERE[/b]! (Quote them please) at the bottom too, and roll your dice mechanics.
[b]Turns used:[/b] ???/ 3 turns
[b]Damage done/ Healing Done/ Defense done:[/b] ??? attack/ defense/ healing (specify what it is)
[b]Additional mechanics/ bonus mechanics to be noted:[/b] Ie: if using item instead or classroom ability
[b] Fear charges used:[/b] Specify, same mechanics for Fear attacks always apply.
[b] Total HP remaining:[/b] You HP remaining, after you have tallied everyone in the PVP thread attacking you.
[b]Total points remaining:[/b] LOOK AT EVERYONE CHALLENGING YOU in thread and subtract points. Just do this once per PVP.
[b]Status of character:[/b] Year/ Rank/ Species/ small blurb about your character [/quote]

STUDENTS AND HORSEMEN HOW TO: gaia_crown [STUDENTS AND HORSEMEN ] Make sure to read Medea's FINAL RP POST here! It is assumed all students were in this post to get the updated information. Follow her post to this post HERE to see what the general setting is like and how to interact. There are several wild card elements at work here:
gaia_crown [SHARDS:] Medea has temporarily unleashed the power of Merlin! Floating in spaces, anywhere, are SHARDS, which look like the image above, but they are accompanied by a strange, distorted sort of figure, a fragment or shade. Roll 1d10 to try for a fragment. Please NOTE: If you are engaged in PVP battle, you CANNOT roll for shards until done.
- You will heal for the amount you rolled @ shards. It literally gets absorbed into your Fear, healing you. The most fragments you can absorb during the whole encounter is 5. You cannot use it on others. Fragments take up no time to absorb, they cannot be used DURING PVP, only when you are free from it/ in the zone main threads.
gaia_crown [Where do I start?:]
- After you have read both of the siege orps, it is time to begin the actual siege. As Medea mentioned, there are four different areas to secure. Your student must choose an area:
The Jungle Outpost: Far away from the main building walls is the Jungle Outpost, an outpost with the least guarded amount of Hunters. It contains a portal, which students will NEED to secure if they want to get out safely! Students/ Horsemen who did not drink from the Chalice are stuck at this point.
- THE JUNGLE OUTPOST HAS 50/50 HP.
- Bonus: Once it is DESTROYED it is considered student/ horsemen territory and the outpost can be used for everyone! GO HERE TO CHOOSE THE JUNGLE OUTPOST
The Abandoned Town: There is nothing interesting in the Abandoned Town as it is rather abandoned, though a great load of Insanity seems to live there, including ones that take the form of tiny phoenixes. This is extremely unfriendly territory, and mostly devoid of Hunters. Staying here will not help students accomplish anything.
- The abandoned town has 100/100 HP.
- Bonus: If destroyed you um, destroyed some buildings. Hooray! GO HERE TO CHOOSE THE ABANDONED TOWN
The MAIN HQ: This is the cream of the crop, the reason why many students and Horsemen would want to invade Deus Ex. Weaponry, sensitive information, everything they want to know about Deus Ex is in here, but this is also the most heavily guarded area. Traps and barriers lie almost at every turn, but if students or horsemen pass the area, they could also deactivate all central security and buy themselves another 30 minutes of time.
- The Main HQ has 100/ 100 HP.
- If destroyed all students gain +30 minutes of time/ 30 points That is, if they get across. GO HERE TO VISIT THE MAIN HQ
The Labs/ Infirmary: The labs are important to many students: this is where the students held HOSTAGE are being contained. The labs is also the place however, where HUNTERS can heal themselves.
- The labs have 75/75 HP
- If destroyed students can also rescue the captive students in this area! Go HERE TO VISIT THE LABS/INFIRMARY
gaia_crown [So what is the goal?:]
Your goal as a student OR horsemen is to, with your thirty action points, try to destroy whatever area you need to to secure it. Looking to bypass security in the main HQ? Then go there! Looking to save some students? Then head down to the labs. Once you are in the area, see the FIRST POST ABOVE, and also the FIRST POST IN THAT AREA as to mechanics of how to attack the place. Make sure to use the form in the first post of this thread for attacking.
- If you would like to challenge someone/ someone quotes and CHALLENGES you that means you are now in a PVP battle. You can no longer attack the main area until your PVP thread is DONE and everyone has rolled/ or the 12 hour CD has passed. Make sure you post an EXIT POST the main thread first so everyone knows and noone accidentally challenges you twice. When you are done the battle, make sure you post an ENTER POST to enter back in this thread.
- See second post in this thread for PVP rules. See first post for attacking zone thread rules.
- You can swap to any thread you like as long as not in PVP, but every time you do that it costs 5 action points. That means you can go from Main HQ to Infirmary, but that is 5 action points so BE CAREFUL. CALCULATE CAREFULLY.
- It IS possible to finish everything before 30/30 points and be at the Jungle Zone. IF the Jungle Zone is below 0/0 HP, you can GO HOME. That means you have peaced out and will not be able to help anyone else.
gaia_crown [In the event of a KO:]
- If your student OR horsemen goes to 0 HP they are OUT. They are rendered dissipated to ???? for the rest of the battle UNTIL the conclusion so BE CAREFUL. Heal when you need to (see above for shard info/ healing info)
- If you dissipate you cannot post with that character any more.

DEUS EX HOW TO: gaia_crown [ALL TRAINEES AND HUNTERS ] It is assumed all of you heard the emergency alarm go off HERE (you can read all the posts to get a better information of what's going on, but the third post applies directly to ALL HUNTERS). After reading this post, continue to below:
gaia_crown [ITEMS:] EACH HUNTER is given 3 bandages. You can use them at any time except during PVP battle. Roll 1d20 to heal yourself for that amount.
gaia_crown [Where do I start?:]
- After you have read both of the siege orps, it is time to begin the actual siege. You need to DEFEND YOUR BASES from further damage/ siege! Your goal is to engage in as many targets as you can in PVP to DELAY THEM in order to wait for the 30 minutes for the backup shield to activate! Here are the four locations your Hunter can be in:
The Jungle Outpost: Far away from the main building walls is the Jungle Outpost, an outpost with the least guarded amount of Hunters. It contains a portal, which students will NEED to secure if they want to get out safely! Students/ Horsemen who did not drink from the Chalice are stuck at this point.
- THE JUNGLE OUTPOST HAS 50/50 HP.
- Once it is DESTROYED it is considered student/ horsemen territory and the outpost can be used for everyone! GO HERE TO CHOOSE THE JUNGLE OUTPOST
The Abandoned Town: There is nothing interesting in the Abandoned Town as it is rather abandoned, though a great load of Insanity seems to live there, including ones that take the form of tiny phoenixes. This is extremely unfriendly territory, and mostly devoid of Hunters. Staying here will not help students accomplish anything.
- The abandoned town has 100/100 HP.
- If destroyed ALL HUNTERS WITH HOUSES WILL LOSE THEIR HOMES. GO HERE TO CHOOSE THE ABANDONED TOWN
The MAIN HQ: This is the cream of the crop, the reason why many students and Horsemen would want to invade Deus Ex. Weaponry, sensitive information, everything they want to know about Deus Ex is in here, but this is also the most heavily guarded area. Traps and barriers lie almost at every turn, but if students or horsemen pass the area, they could also deactivate all central security and buy themselves another 30 minutes of time.
- The Main HQ has 100/ 100 HP.
- If destroyed all students gain +30 minutes of time. This is very bad and may lead to more wanton destruction of property. GO HERE TO CHOOSE THE MAIN HQ
The Labs/Infirmary: The labs are important to many students: this is where the students held HOSTAGE are being contained. The labs is also the place however, where HUNTERS can heal themselves.
- The labs have 75/75 HP
- If destroyed students can also rescue the captive students in this area! GO HERE TO CHOOSE THE LABS/ INFIRMARY
gaia_crown [So what is the goal?:]
- Your goal as a student OR horsemen is to, with your thirty action points, STOP THE STUDENTS AND HORSEMEN FROM INVADING.
- You can do this by quoting any ATTACKING/ free/ non-exited students and engaging in PVP. Once you are in the area, see the FIRST POST ABOVE, and also the FIRST POST IN THAT AREA as to mechanics of how to attack the place. Make sure to use the form in the first post of this thread for attacking.
- If you would like to challenge someone/ someone quotes and CHALLENGES you that means you are now in a PVP battle. You can no longer attack the main area until your PVP thread is DONE and everyone has rolled. Make sure you post an EXIT POST the main thread first so everyone knows and noone accidentally challenges you twice. When you are done the battle, make sure you post an ENTER POST to enter back in this thread or whatever thread you like.
- See second post in this thread for PVP rules.
- You can swap to any thread you like as long as not in PVP, but every time you do that it costs 5 action points. That means you can go from Main HQ to Infirmary, but that is 5 action points so BE CAREFUL.
gaia_crown [In the event of a KO:]
- If your Hunter hits 0 HP they are seriously KO'ed from the stress and chaos. They are OUT FOR THE ROUND and unconscious and cannot attack any more. This will continue until the end of the siege so use bandages carefully!

gaia_crown [ What happens if I hit 0 AP/ close to 0 AP? ]:
- You feel strange, tired, worn out. As you slump to the ground, and reach out one hand, something odd happens. The mark, the Four Clans mark on you begins to burn. You feel feverish and slowly, you can only watch in horror as you begin to fade. Bits and pieces, arms and legs, like a ghost unable to control their intangibility. You can see everyone, talk to them, move slightly, sluggishly, but others are literally unable to grab you, moving oddly through you.
You feel tired. Maybe if you close your eyes... (Your character still exists but BARELY/ they have burned up all their given power)
