MEMBER & GUILD RANKING

New quests are released! Sign-ups will open officially on the 3rd of this month, so until then, here's a plotting post for you all to get your Duckletts in a row! Before we hop right into things, though, here are the tallies from total quest points!

Click here for the rankings!

⟡ MEMBER RANKING
ICly, Rankings will show the points earned of all Pokemon in guilds, including NPC Pokemon not listed here OOCly. We don't currently list guild leaders, but might in the future for fun. Keep in mind that quests available to player characters are not the entire pool of quests, and that some are likely snatched up before they can get to them regularly, which is how points vary and how some guilds pull ahead even without much player help. However, over time, player points will certainly affect the standing of guilds! Without further ado, here are the characters in ranking order by guild:

Oran Berries
Akechi 4850 points
Emmet 3500 points
Ren 3050 points
Shoka 2850 points
Ingo 2550 points *
Bigby 1550 points
A.B.A 1300 points
Sanji 1200 points
Umemiya 1150 points
Flamebringer 1150 points
Noelle 700 points
Kris 450 points
Parvati 550 points
Cedric 400 points
Kinger 250 points
Impmon 300 points
Need 100 points
III 0 points

Firoza 2050 points
Archnemon 1800 points
Agnes 350 points
Henry 100 points
Ken 100 points
Tenna 100 points
Aegiomon 0 points
(* OOCly, due to Ribombee’s confusion, this ‘sudden drop’ in points is explained as the Guild Leader’s paperwork becoming muddied over the past number of weeks. Hopefully Ribombee hasn’t been overworking himself… …Also, Flowey has earned an upgrade to mid-tier housing!)

Lum Berries
Emporio 4500 points
Anasui 4150 points
Perrin 1550 points
Akira 1350 points
Ring-Spirit 1300 points
Chara 750 points
Dolly 550 points
Seto 350 points
Odile 100 points
Mayaka 0 points

⟡ GUILD RANKING
And of course, posted everywhere is the guild ranking.

1. Oran Berries
2. Lum Berries
3. Cheri Berries

For the first time in a long while, it seems Oran Guild has surpassed the Lum Guild! But what could that possibly mean…

Congratulations to Ingo and Flowey, for achieving the next tier of accommodation! You are free to assume at any time during the month, that your Guild Leader has approached you with an offer to move into Middle Tier Housing; as this is an optional upgrade, you are also free to remain in Lower Tier Housing instead.

AVAILABLE QUESTS

This is a HEAVY QUEST month, but we at Bottlecap Bay are more than aware of how hectic this time of year can be. Be it our offline careers, the celebrations of family, it felt irresponsible to post our usual load of quests during this ‘Heavy’ month. As such, you will find a unique twist to these particular quests…including the waived necessity to provide threads!

Click here to see all the available quests!

Remember - Players can submit their own quests, here!

INCOMING EVENTS

Snow, music, and festivities - it seems that as the longest night approaches, a party is in the works! A Mysterious Pokemon will be making their appearance late in the month, bringing their own unique spin on old traditions. How will you share the spirit of the night? A good meal? A treasured gift?

Also, did anyone just see a red-tailed Treecko disappear into the bushes?

As an additional note, Player Suggestions are now being welcomed via our Helper Mod Contact Page - this has technically always been the case, but we wanted to make it clear as we prepare to enter our second year at Bottlecap Bay. While we cannot guarantee a suggested event will be included in our line-up, we welcome the many ideas our creative players have, and look forward to potentially incorporating these in future posts!

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Courier Six (Perrin)
CANON: Fallout
POKEMON: Dragonite
GUILD: Lum
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!

ABOUT:

Courier Six, from the hit videogame Fallout: New Vegas, who's been here for basically nearly a year. He has never quite settled here, still not quite sure how to survive in a place more peaceful then home. He's also a little curious to what it means that the guilds are changing rankings, but he's keeping his eyes on what that might mean... he doesn't expect a power play like he might have seen back home.

PLANS:

First of all, I'm going to be doing a post with this guy asking about behaviour changes, because I think it'll be a fun open thing to just mess around with. (And yes, it'll be an open post with threadjacking, I hope?) But I hope to take it easy this month. Other then the Secret Santa, he's also got some gifts together for some friends... he is doing his usual mail routes as well, and I might put up a Player Quest? But he's open for Ghosts of Teatimes Past, and Snow Place Like Home. Alas, he's still got that block over going to the tunnels of the Spire... but I think it might be interesting if somebody drags him down there for the decoration, as well! But it'd need to be somebody he cares about.

Because, uh. He would likely share why he's not a fan of tunnels to close CR. :3

Also! If anybody wants to misinterpret the Secret Santa as a weird delivery thing? You can blame Courier Six for it, if you want, since. He'd play into it, tbh? See it as causing a bit of mischief and chaos.

ANYTHING ELSE: I'm halfway to my thread goal for exchanging stuff!

also as always, thank you, dedenne-mod. I hope you've been enjoying watching us as well.

ABOUT: The full time nights life makes me a lil sparse, but I'm always backtagging and I'm often around for chatter! At least on plurk, the wifi doesn't play nice with discord. Grant you, as we enter December I'll be really busy but!!! Still! I like a lot of stuff, especially JoJos and Pokemon, but really you could get a lot outta me from talking.
CONTACT: usagisquared + 'usagisquared' at Discord!

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Emporio Alniño
CANON: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean
POKEMON: Cubone (helmet worn on back)
GUILD: Lum
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!

ABOUT:

Perpetually sad but maybe a little less sad? A very well adjusted cubone considering he grew up in a prison (hiding at that), Emporio is the brain cell of his series and over all has a mostly good moral center despite everything. He does a lot of reading, helps at the Archives, and enjoys working quests with everyone! Somehow, he's not overworking himself a bunch, though having Polteageist all but adopt him probably helps.

PLANS:

It's winter!! Which means Emporio is going to look like a little burrito to avoid the snow, as it's quite burny against his wee ground type body. That won't stop him from doing Christmas work though! (Or is it Christmas??? what is pokemon christmas...)

He might need extra help on the snow shovelling though,

ANYTHING ELSE:

Mr. (Ant) Tenna | Deltarune

[its_tv_time]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Tenna
CANON: Deltarune, post chapter 3 (brought to castle town)
POKEMON: Volbeat
GUILD: Cheri
INFO/PERMISSIONS: https://its-tv-time.dreamwidth.org/1143.html

ABOUT:

He's the king of only, and the host with the most! (The most... what?)

He's an actual, living CRT Television with emotions that reach the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in a matter of seconds. The former lord of his own dark world, Tenna wasn't always the best boss to his employees, and often treated them poorly when he was in a bad mood, or things didn't go according to plan, which happened more and more frequently when he stopped being watched. It resulted in him making a shady deal with the Knight in order to get his audience back. This backfired, however, because not only did his whole crew resign, he ended up fighting the Fun Gang, who did manage to give him hope that he wasn't obsolete yet, and would find a new audience... only to be attacked by the Knight, and nearly killed. It's okay though, because with the help of Susie and his former crew, he was repaired, and saved from death! With the resolve to do better by his crew, he was brought to Castle Town where he could wait for Susie and Kris to find him a new home, with a new audience...

... except that didn't happen, and now he's here! That's fine, he'll just put on a show here! Everything is fine and nothing is wrong whatsoever, haha! He doesn't need to be a TV to put on good TV! Doesn't matter that TV doesn't exist here! He'll find an audience... right?

Regardless, he finally finished setting up his TV Studio, and he's raring to go!

PLANS:

With his studio complete, he's hosting a quest of his own: he's looking for contestants for a proper TV Time show!

Additionally, he will be telling stories at GHOSTS OF TEATIMES PAST, and he's looking for actors to help act out his stories! What good story is complete without a proper visual, after all?

He may be a bit more jumpy, what with all the snow and cold around. Funny, he used to love the cold place back home, but now...

Anyway!

ANYTHING ELSE: May be slow to tag this month with the holidays and there just not being much of a day here. It saps my energy levels something fierce!

Narciso Anasui

[dripdrive]

PLAYER INFO
PLAYER: Pyra
ABOUT: Your resident tired researcher. November has been difficult for me and I'm sorry to anyone waiting on replies. I'll be going through my inbox to play catchup shortly!
CONTACT: usagisimaginaryfriend

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Narciso Anasui
CANON: JJBA: Stone Ocean
POKEMON: Espathra
GUILD: Lum
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Permissions here!

ABOUT:

Anasui is the sluttiest prisoner from the Green Dolphin Prison, a high security jail in the mythical land of Florida. He is notoriously brutal, pragmatic and honestly just an asshole. However, outside his tendency to dismantle things (including bodies) when he's stressed, his obsessiveness and his violent approach to things though, he's... honestly a pretty good guy. Anasui has never hurt someone that didn't deserve it (even if he really wanted to) and if someone gets his trust, he will literally sacrifice his life for them.

Ever since he met the love of his life, Jolyne, Anasui has been trying to be a better man. That means fighting less and trying to compromise and be kinder more. As a result, in BCB, he's reluctantly taken on the role of resident bird-dad, and actively volunteers at the clinic.

PLANS:

When Anasui arrived, he took the Shed Tail of a wild Sceptile and dissected it into cubes after scaring it off (and showing it to Akira). Seeing the red Treecko... he's going to assume it's the Sceptile out for revenge and be paranoidly watching out for it.

Once he's convinced it isn't a vengeful Pokemon, Anasui is going to enjoy himself! While he hates festivals, Anasui is a huge Disney fan and has a soft spot for the holidays! (He taught Emporio about Christmas while in Prison). Anasui is down for all events this month and I'm open to everything. So hit me up! I love building CR.

ANYTHING ELSE: Ho ho bitches. Santa is here~

PLAYER: bread
ABOUT: 30ish y/o arts administrator from SEA. This is my first DWRP game, so please show me the ropes and tell me if there’s anything I can improve [I will try to format my brackets properly now e_e ]. My first formative fandom experience was RPing on ye olde pokecommunity forums 20 years ago so this feels full circle and I look forward to playing w everyone and getting to know your charas~
CONTACT: inbox me, or on discord @ bread9696

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Mayaka Ibara
CANON: Hyouka
POKEMON: Sneasel (Hisuian)
GUILD: Lum Berry
INFO/PERMISSIONS: click

ABOUT:

Mayaka may look like a cute, smaller than average Sneasel but she has (1) claws laced with a poison she can’t control and (2) a mean temper and sharp tongue if you get on her bad side. While she’s quick to judge others and may come across as blunt, she’s the responsible sort and a team player. She also likes giving out nicknames (cute ones to friends, and teasing ones to those she finds odd).

Before all this, she quit her high school’s Manga Club to pursue being a manga artist seriously and was planning to submit her manga for a magazine award. She wants to continue drawing manga as a Sneasel, all while trying to keep it a secret from others, and grappling with the purpose of making art in this world. Hang in there, Mayaka!

PLANS:

- I have… only a vague idea of how quests work, so if anyone would like to pair up with this Sneasel for a quest that would be most appreciated! Ghosts of Teatimes Past / Snow Place Like Home / Happy Pawlidays all work.

- Lum Berry pals! If any Lum Berries want to give Mayaka a tour of her new accommodations (maybe they’re neighbours) or just get to know this new kid while on library duty etc, I would love that. Or a quest together.

- Network post! Later on I’ll probably set up a network post of Mayaka crowd sourcing ideas on how to deal with her poison claws so if you wanna say hi and estalish CR there, you’re most welcome... please come make friends/rivals/frenemies with her

- Open to other stuff as well im all ears (˶◜ᵕ◝˶)

ANYTHING ELSE:

nice to meet you !

Ren Amamiya | Persona 5 Royal

[colorsflyinghigh]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Ren Amamiya
CANON: Persona 5 Royal
POKEMON: Sprigatito
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: https://colorsflyinghigh.dreamwidth.org/360.html

ABOUT:

Welcome to protagonist town, on your left we have Ren Amamiya, dumb idiot who keeps all his problems to himself while breaking his back to help others... oops! He's the (former) leader of the Phantom Thieves, a vigilante group who stood up to those who couldn't (or wouldn't) be punished by the regular justice system. He's got a very strong moral compass that may err a little on the grey side. He also probably doesn't worry enough about his own health, as stated above. He can appear very nice and respectful to authority... but at the same time, his morals won't let him just stand by and watch if he feels there is something going wrong, or authority being abused.

Also, he's rather reckless, when it comes down to it. Showy, sarcastic and reckless. He blends into the background as easily as he comes to the foreground when he wants it. All in all, he can wear many masks, and adjust himself/his behavior depending on who he's talking to, and what he wants. During his time here, he has ended up with a scar on his forehead, as well as chronic joint pains; the cause likely being the nigh-supernatural nightmares that presented themselves to the people here...

He's been trying to be better about his own health lately. The scar on his forehead is usually hidden by his bangs, and he's gotten pretty decent at managing his chronic pain... though sometimes his friends and boyfriend need to step in.

PLANS:

Ren's gonna be helping out with HAPPY PAWLIDAYS and SNOW PLACE LIKE HOME, as well as any interesting player quests if they come up.

Also... Ren and Firoza are planning to host a community Hotpot (quest going up later)! Everyone is welcome, and they're looking for help to get it set up! They figured it'd be a nice, cozy event for these cold winter months.

Additionally, while he'll be trying not to let it show, there's something... tense about Ren. As if he's expecting something to go wrong. Can you pry it out of him...?

ANYTHING ELSE: May be slow to tag this month with the holidays and there just not being much of a day here. It saps my energy levels something fierce!

[holidaygirl1225]

Welcome to the game (and DWRP!) I sent a discord friend request, it's coming from the username with 'andrea' in it. You're doing great, by the way!

I'd love to do a quest with Noelle and Mayaka and build their CR more! Happy Pawlidays, maybe? She's already chomping at the bit to decorate for Christmas.

Ingo

[offtracks]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Ingo
CANON: Pokemon Legends Arceus
POKEMON: Hisuian Typhlosion
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!

ABOUT:

One of those two inexplicably popular guys who keep getting mentioned in unrelated games in the series all the time! An ex-modern New York subway boss and current Meiji-era Hisui Warden, who is essentially a solo park ranger in the middle of nowhere! He's also trying to introduce Pokemon training to the region, because he is originally from the Pokemon world!

Things have been sort of Weird with his brother lately, so Ingo is throwing himself into pretending that everything is fine! Lately this is taking the form of escalating his training efforts, including running a player quest for BATTLE CHALLENGES with Emmet! He's not actually that accustomed to any Christmas-like holidays anymore (it's more about New Year's in Hisui) so he'll be mildly confused this month, but definitely participating anyway!

PLANS:

Definitely doing Claus for Alarm! And giving gifts to the rest of his CR as well once he realizes it's a thing/once I think of them ;;

He'll also be helping out on Happy Pawlidays and Snow Place like Home, both of which are pretty casual efforts for him. Maybe the story one if anybody drags him along - he has stories from Hisui but it feels sort of weird to be telling them like that here? He's not really sure where he stands with regards to considering anyplace "home" right now?

Odile

[paperceptive]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Odile
CANON: In Stars and Time
POKEMON: Weavile
GUILD: Lum
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!

ABOUT:

A traveler and researcher of something-or-other, Odile does tend to be rather standoffish with strangers, but she's quite fun once she warms up to you! She's the strategist of the group and used to having strong and varied Craft abilities, so she's very invested in researching and understanding Pokemon combat now!

PLANS:

Much of this month will, I suspect, be dealing with the fallout of one of the Siffrins falling ill. Odile's unlikely to get into her own feelings about that with anybody, but she will be making a concerted effort to look after them in the clinic and also keep a close eye on Siffrin (Loop edition). As such, she may not be doing a ton of questing! However, she's likely to at least lurk in the background and listen to other peoples' stories at Ghosts of Teatime Past. Also......I enjoy Secret Santa OOCly but I don't think she'd sign herself up for that rip.......

We should do Happy Pawlidays so Akechi has to contend with being festive...

FLOWEY

[friendlyflower]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Flowey
CANON: Undertale
POKEMON: Sunkern
GUILD: Cheri
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Howdy!

ABOUT:

Flowey is a friendly flower and your new best friend who wants to help you!

He may have been brought back from a tragic and untimely end in a limbless, soulless form that left him unable to feel love, and he may have reset the timeline an unknowable amount of times until everyone around him felt like nothing but arbitrary lines of code to him, but it's fine don't worry about it.

Flowey has made a few steps forward (and a few steps back) in trying to improve himself since he got here and he's living his edgiest tween life right now... mostly.

PLANS:

Flowey is living it up in his new mid-tier housing (he didn't have many belongings to move). I will be trying to take it easier this month since I will be traveling to meet family (and I've also just been really tired lately), but I'd love to have a few threads to sort out some CR with Flowey.

I'll also be forcing him to participate in the Secret Santa, and maybe Snow Place like Home so he can continue kissing up to Ribombee.

ANYTHING ELSE:

If you didn't already, check out the Hobby Clubs post! I would love to see some club meeting threads this month. Maybe a mingle style log, maybe personal threads...? Let me know what you're all thinking. We had quite a bit of interest in the Stargazing Club, so I might make a post about that.

[colorsflyinghigh]

HAHA YES ren is gonna make fun of Akechi for being a little sourpuss. Just decorate with him silly!

Also unease what unease haha... (it's ok he'll open up with some prodding.)

NOELLE HOLIDAY

[holidaygirl1225]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Noelle Holiday
CANON: Deltarune
POKEMON: Deerling (Winter Form)
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!

ABOUT:

Noelle Holiday is a classic 'girl next door' type and the childhood friend of Kris, the protagonist of Deltarune. She's the mayor's daughter, a diligent student, a member of the church choir, a member of the Cross Country Team, and a gamer and horror enthusiast. She has a little trouble speaking up for herself, and her family life is a little strained.

In Deltarune Chapter 2, she had a chance to go on a wonderful adventure with Kris and get stronger. Was it really a dream...?

PLANS:

It's here! Her favorite time of the year! Just don't say the name of the month!

Noelle will absolutely be participating in Secret Santa and will very much be decorating with Happy Pawlidays. She's trying to smile and push through the stresses of the last few months... maybe to mixed results. I also really want her to participate in Tenna's player quest (IT'S! TV!! TIME!!!), so feel free to ask if you want to make it a duo.

She wants to throw a big holiday party complete with lots of food and gingerbread cookies. Let me know if you have any interest in attending a big thread like this. If not, it can always be handwaved.

ANYTHING ELSE:

I may post a quest a little bit later.

BIGBY WOLF

[wolfcut]

CHARACTER: Bigby Wolf
CANON: The Wolf Among Us (game)
POKEMON: Morpeko ✨
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!
ABOUT:

Formerly the notorious Big Bad Wolf of fairytale fame, Bigby is now the exhausted sheriff of Fabletown in New York City circa the 1980s. Despite wanting to move on from his brutal past, his fellow Fables aren’t so easily convinced that he’s around to serve their best interests even after centuries on the job already. There’s a part of him that doesn’t think he deserves their forgiveness either, that he’s just suppressing the monster he really is, but he’s desperate to keep trying to protect those who need him.

He often skirts the line between sympathetic and ruthless depending on the situation, but in general, he’s mostly just rough around the edges and maybe a little sarcastic on his best days. Bigby can be pretty quick on picking things up, too, but his short temper can easily lead him astray when pushed enough. The man is perpetually on the verge of another crash out, please do not remind him (or do, so he can let out some pent-up frustration)!!

PLANS:

So that whole thing about self-actualization last month? Turns out that was a fucking lie. Getting rage baited by teenagers on the network tends to do that. At least he’s not at his absolute lowest, but he’s still a loud hamster with an attitude making his problems infinitely worse. Merry Christmas, you filthy animal.

Bigby is not a festive person, but he at least gets the importance of giving gifts, so his immediate focus will be that. Somehow, despite who he is, he has a whole list of people to get shit for, and he’s suddenly very overwhelmed. Please don’t make fun of his handmade gifts. He’s trying his best here. Expect him at the Crafting Club and Oran Kitchen quite a bit this month.

Quests! I don't know how, but I'm going to get him to do Claus for Alarm whether he likes it or not. Otherwise, would love to team him up for Happy Pawlidays and especially Ghosts of Teatimes Past. How does this guy know that many fairytales off the top of his head like that...

ANYTHING ELSE: ( x ) As the keeper of Santa’s lists, he canonically knows if you’ve been naughty or nice this year, so watch out.

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: A.B.A
CANON: Guilty Gear
POKEMON: Silvally✨
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here

ABOUT:

A.B.A is a socially awkward homunculus who spent the first ten years of her life locked up in a mansion all alone. This has caused her to develop an intense fascination with keys, so much so that she declared herself married to a sentient battle axe simply because he looked like one. Her isolation has made her timid and shy, so to counteract this, she's prone to acting belligerent and authoritative. Her hope is that people don't think she's as lost and confused as she really is, but this often does the exact opposite.

Luckily, A.B.A thrives as a Pokémon, and doesn't feel the need to posture as much since most Pokémon are smaller than she is. She's hoping she can use every successful interaction as a lesson she can bring back home, when she finally reunites with her beloved Paracelsus, and show him just how far she's grown on her own. Please be her friend.

PLANS:

A.B.A was put on the backburner while I was messing with a new character, whoops. Who wants to drag her into doing stuff? Although A.B.A knows what holidays are, she's never really...celebrated.
Not beyond finding an excuse to get extra snuggly with her husband, anyway. Normally, she wouldn't be one to even consider buying a present, but 300 points is really juicy I love CR. If someone wants to be her IC reason to get dragged into secret santa, let me know! Other than that, Happy Pawlidays is something she might do, but she might decorate in her own...unique way. Someone should watch her. I'm also open to anything that can be handwaved!
