It is the year 20XX. And humans... No longer exist. In their place are industrial humanoid robots known as Robot Masters, and the Mechas that live alongside them in peace. However, peace doesn't always last... A threat to the world of Robot Masters looms above, and it is up to an unlikely crew of robots to save the day... But are they up to the task? Are YOU up to the task? The world's fate rests in your hands...

After the release of Retro Pikachu's remake of Tails' Lab Defense, I decided I wanted to make a new roleplay myself, in hopes of reviving the MMRPG roleplaying community. And with the release of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, I decided "hey, why not?"
How to Play: (Or, in other words, "Beta just copy-pasted the rules from Retro's Lab Defense lol")

Ok, so you know how PMD games would have you take one step per turn, your partner would follow behind, and all the enemies would then take a step? Yeah, no, let's toss that turn system out the window. Being only able to take one step at a time might work for a video game, but for a forum roleplay? Yeah, WAY too sluggish. So, yeah, we'll be using some different mechanics. And, ok, sure, I may have stol- er, borrowed, the mechanics of Lab Defense, but hey, if the system works, it works. And besides, I've added and removed some things to make it a bit more Mystery Dungeon-esque...

Your journeys will take place in randomly assembled maps called Mystery Dungeons. The maps will be based off of Lab Defense, however, because I'm not going to bother trying to make an entire Mystery Dungeon map on my own. Too much effort for a simple forums roleplay.

Each robot on the field can take a certain number of steps at a time. Afterwards, they can use an attack, use an item in their inventory, or they can simply just wait. However, you CANNOT move after attacking or using an item. After all players have taken their turn, the enemies will have THEIR phase.

To make a move, either leave a reply in the thread or ping me in the Roleplay channel on Discord. If you don't make a move after ~24 hours of the start of your phase, your turn will be automated. At a certain point, however, I will stop automating your turn and just plain set you on idle; Believe it or not, this rule is NOT set up to have me play the game for you.

There are two kinds of allies: Teammates and Players. Teammates are other robots who are part of your Team, and are to be controlled by you as well. Teammates will follow you to the next floor once the floor's objective is complete. You may only have 4 teammates in the dungeon at a time, with two spaces reserved for the leader and partner. That may change in the postgame, however. On the other hand, there are Players. These allies are, of course, other users and their teammates who happen to be in the same dungeon and on the same floor as you. As they are from a different team, however, they will NOT follow you to the next floor. I may or may not make some exceptions during the introduction phase.

When you gain a level, your stats will increase, and you may or may not gain a new Weapon depending on your stat boons and your core types. You will gain EXP from defeating foes and clearing missions. Defeating foes will ALSO grant your Teammates half of the EXP gained from defeating them.

While some floors will require you to find the stairs in order to progress, there are also several other objectives for you to accomplish. We'll be discussing what some of these objectives may be in the future.

Character Creation:

Are you a human being sent into our world to save us all, or just another robot who lives in the world naturally? The answer is, that's for you to decide. Either way, I'm not going to do some PMD-style quiz to determine what Robot Master you are. Why? Because just giving you a small handful of options for who you'll be is absolutely lame. Instead, you get to make the decision of who you are- and who your partner will be- for yourself. And yes, you will be required to make TWO characters instead of just one.

Here is the character sheet:

Team Name:

Name:
Icon:
HP:
WE:
ATK:
DEF:
SPD:

Core:
Subcore:
Weakness:
Resistance:

And now, an in-depth look at what these are:

Team Name- The name of your team. This has been added after the Introduction phase, because we’re not going through it again. This wasn’t a part of it to begin with for story reasons.

Name- The name of the robot, obviously.
Icon- The icon the robot you'll be using. Refer to the [robot] or [mecha] formats for use of their mugshots (custom mugs are welcome, too, through use of the [image] formatting).

Stats:
You will have a total of 25 points to spend on 5 different stats. Spend them wisely. Or don't. Your choice. Just know that you can't spend any more than 25.

HP- Health Points, also known as Energy. How much damage you take before you fall. Each point spent on this stat is 2 HP.
WE- Weapon Energy. It is the cost of your Special Weapons. Replenishes 1 WE on each turn. Each point spent on this stat is 2 WE.
ATK- Attack. Increases how much damage you deal.
DEF- Defense. Decreases how much damage you take.
SPD- Speed. Determines how far you can move. Each step is 2 SPD.

In addition to the points given to the stats, you can add one Boon and Bane to them. A Boon will add 2 extra points to the stat, and will increase its growth. It also controls what kind of passive Special Weapons you can obtain, as well as your Ability 2. A Bane will remove 2 points from that stat, and will slow down its growth. You can NOT have one over the other.

Core- Your main Core type. Determines the kind of elemental Special Weapons you can obtain, as well as your Ability 1.
Subcore- Your secondary Core type. Also determines the kind of elemental Special Weapons you can obtain, but to a lesser extent (meaning you can only obtain the buster weapons and Tier 1 weapons of this type).

Do note that you can use ANY type within Prototype EXCEPT for Copy Core, which has been replaced with Neutral. In addition, your partner cannot be the same Core or Subcore type as you.

Weakness- Attacks of this type deal more damage.
Resistance- Attacks of this type deal less damage.

You MUST have a Weakness and Resistance. Failure to apply this will cause me to assign one to you based on how I personally feel they should be.

The following is determined by your stat boon and Core type.

Weapons: Your Special Weapons that can be utilized after moving. You can only have 8 Special Weapons at a time. In addition, you will be given a singular Basic Attack that costs no Weapon Energy and take up no Special Weapon slots.
Abilities: Your special abilities that will activate under specific conditions. You will only have 2, but they can be changed through the use of specific items.

And this LAST "stat" is determined by your progression through the roleplay.

Rank: The Ranking of your Team, which can be raised by completing missions. Ranking up grants you more inventory spaces for items, increases the number of missions available for everyone, and may even gift you some other rewards.

EXAMPLE:

Team Name: Team Beta and Mega

Name: Beta Man
Icon:
HP: 5
WE: 6
ATK: 5(+)
DEF: 4(-)
SPD: 5

Core: Shadow
Subcore: Time
Weakness: Electric
Resistance: Flame

Name: Mega Man X-7
Icon: mega-man
HP: 6
WE: 5(-)
ATK: 4
DEF: 5
SPD: 5(+)

Core: Flame
Subcore: Nature
Weakness: Electric
Resistance: Laser

The resulting set-up will be...

Team Beta and Mega
Rank: Plain (0/100)

Beta Man | Level: 1 (0/50)
Core: Shadow | Subcore: Time | Weakness: Electric | Resistance: Flame
HP: 10 | WE: 12 | ATK: 9 (5+2+2) (Boon) | DEF: 2 (4-2) (Bane) | SPD: 5
Abilities: Shadow Expert, ATK +2
Weapons: Shadow Shot, Time Shot, Shadow Slide

mega-man Mega Man X-7 | Level: 1 (0/50)
Core: Flame | Subcore: Nature
HP: 12 | WE: 6 (10-4) (Bane) | ATK: 4 | DEF: 5 | SPD: 7 (5+2) (Boon)
Abilities: Flame Expert, Emergency SPD
Weapons: Flame Shot, Nature Shot, Fire Storm

@Inconspicuous User :

Berry MKII uses Nature Buster.
15 Damage dealt. Clock Man is disabled.

Berry MKII earns 10 EXP
The rest of Team MKII and Returning Techno earns 5 EXP

(Hm, fascinating... It would appear that any experience that MKII-Type gains, Prototype will also gain that amount... And I would assume the opposite would be true as well. This should be interesting to watch...)
...Techno, head for the stairs at once. We might not have recruited that Clock Man, but there is sure to be more enemies further in.

There are no enemies right now, so moving on.

Oh, nonono! No you don't!

Big Eye moves four spaces left.

What's your deal here? You steal our teammate, and now you're running around like you run the place? Know that I think about it judging from the fact you bothered to take only him-- you probably have some sort of sick vendetta, is that right?

Fake MKII moves three spaces right, one space up, one space right, concluding their stay at the first floor.

Aaaaaaaaaand they're gone. perfect. Now we have to follow them.
Mhm.
Hey, uh-- sorry about this whole mess. We'll get him back one way or another. Just hang in there.
Okay.
...
(That's the one that he used to lure me in. He was the fastest one on his team, the way he caught Junior red-handed effortlessly.)
(No use running or making a Gate. He'll reach me even if I do either of those things. I'll have to take him out quick.)
Prototype moves four (well, i mean, if he still can, otherwise, one space instead of four) spaces up and uses a Buster Charge.

And there goes Team MKII, with Team Error Log following behind.

Try not to waste your non-existent breath, cyclops. You won’t be able to find a way to save your so-called “commander”... The battle against the virus is one that he has to beat on his own.
Though, even if he succeeds, what does it even matter? Nothing changes the fact that we are merely pieces on a board, controlled by figures only few know exist... and even fewer know what for.
You aren’t even aware your little bout with Team MKII had the lives of a few of these figures on the line... Not that such a thing matters anymore. Regardless...
That is why I so oftenly change from playing the role of a “hero” to the role of a “villain”... Because I know that any “consequences” that occur from either are merely non-existent.
...And that “Arceus” fails to understand this... I am the ONLY Pokemon who knows the truth of our world, and he fears me for it... So why not give him a REASON to fear me?

...Sheesh. Talk about overly dramatic.
Just go, you’ll be out of here next round, no reason to spawn an enemy now.

Well, you did come in right when they were leaving.

Of course, and thus Beta Shadow uses it as an excuse to not make an entirely new map.

You’ve got it, boss.

Moon Jump leaps 4 spaces down, then proceeds to use Big Stomp on Sniper Joe.
