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

Alright, guess we're keeping Team Mirage.

(???:)  ..y! .r. al..g.t?
   ...OW, who else has a severe headache, or is it just me? And why's it feel so familiar..?
   Whew, glad you aren't a pile of scrap, otherwise I'd probably have to punch that wall in its little wall face.
   (Last I checked, most walls don't have faces...)
   Wait, did you say "scrap" or something like that? I'm pretty sure that's not how humans work.
   Well I'M pretty sure humans are just a myth. A conspiracy theory. A Tinfoilus Maximus.
   How about the fact that there's a human standing right in front of you?
   ...Where?
   I was OBVIOUSLY referring to myself.
   Pfft... Nice try, but I'm pretty sure I've heard that one before!
   I'm SERIOUS!
   Hi Serious, my name's Mondegreen!
   Am- ..Am I getting trolled hardcore?
   Probably! Though, seems like I may or may not have messed with you before, for some reason!
   Yeah, I feel like we've been in this exact conversation before somehow. Anywho, My name isn't "Serious". It's Enayrk.
   Huh. Weird name, but I'll roll with the punches! Anyway, from this day forward, YOU'RE my partner-in-crime!
   Wait, WHAT!? I don't recall signing any contract for this! Besides, what makes you think I'd willingly associate myself with a supposed criminal!?
ゴゴゴゴゴ  Aww, too bad that wasn't a question.
   ...ALRIGHT. JUST... PLEASE DON'T DO THAT THING WHERE YOU'RE REALLY INTIMIDATING EVER AGAIN. IT'D MAKE MY DAY.
   Nice! Glad you see it my way! Now let's go prank all those snobs over at that dumb Richly Courtyard place that just opened up!
   ...How is pranking people illegal, again?
   Not sure! Now get on that field so we can mess with people!

@TheHighTower : Since you'll need to replace your partner (Yes you HAVE to have a partner), some other issues:

1. Your stats (even if I was to consider the points given to HP and WE are doubled for display) surpasses the 25 points limit. You have 25 points to spend for all stats, not 25 points to give each.
2. ...Actually, I think that's it. Just replace the partner and fix the stats.

@Shattered Vanguard : Well I say if you want to apply a Boon/Bane to both of them, now's a good chance. I'd go with a +WE/-ATK set for Spade as they don't seem like they'd dish out many decent attacks other than bashing people in the face; a +SPD/-ATK set could also work if you want them to keep up with Diamond.

As for Diamond, I'd go with a +ATK/-DEF to round out their stats a bit, though you could also go for a +SPD/-DEF set if you want to run crazy amounts of circles around pretty much anything ever.

However, at the end of the day, the fact remain that how you adjust your characters' stats just ain't up to me, so if you wanna go double boonless, enjoy the extra attack range.

Thank you for the suggestion. I wanted to make Diamond a support character that could heal her allies AND take damage, but I realize that there might not be all that many abilities that heal allies.

Alright, everyone! The time has come to start the reboot!

But first, some notes:

- First, Tepid Man has still not met the "25 stat limit" criteria, so the stats have been rearranged as such:
Attack: 13 -> 3
Defense: 18 -> 5
Speed: 9 -> 4
7 + 6 + 3 + 5 + 4 = 25 Points

- Second, the two teams that have not chosen a starting location- Brash Buster's Nuclear Haste and Soren's currently unnamed team- shall be sent to Maniacal Hideway, just so that there could be people actually there.

I think that's about it, so without further ado... Take it away, Pi!
...GREETINGS. I AM DESIGNATED AS PI ANDROID. WELCOME TO ROLEPLAY "Robot Master Mystery Dungeon".
UNFORTUNATELY, USER "Beta Shadow" CANNOT BE PRESENT RIGHT NOW. AS SUCH, I AM HERE TO SERVE IN HIS STEAD AS THE TUTORIAL GUIDE.
THIS TUTORIAL SERVES TO ALLOW RETURNING PLAYERS TO REFRESH THEIR MEMORY ON HOW THE GAME WORKS, AS WELL AS TO EDUCATE THE NEWCOMERS- OR SINGULAR NEWCOMER, IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE- ON THE SUBJECT.


...THIS IS THE GAME MAP. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE MAP OF LOCATION "Gentle Countryside", WHERE SUBJECT "Team Bubble" IS CURRENTLY LOCATED.
THE PLAYER'S GOAL IS EITHER TO REACH THE STAIRCASE LEADING TO THE NEXT FLOOR OF THE DUNGEON, OR TO CLEAR THE DUNGEON'S OBJECTIVE, WITH IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR SAID ACHIEVEMENT BEING MARKED WITH A STAR. IN THIS CASE, THE GOAL OF THE FLOOR IS BOTH.
YOU START OFF BY MOVING YOUR CHARACTERS A PARTICULAR NUMBER OF SPACES DEPENDING ON YOUR SPEED. EVERY 2 SPEED ALLOWS YOU TO MOVE ONE SPACE IN A CARDINAL DIRECTION.
FROM THERE, YOU MAY CHOOSE TO EITHER ATTACK AN ENEMY (DEPENDING ON THE RANGE OF YOUR ATTACK; SEE FILENAME "Weapons Database" FOR MORE INFORMATION), USE AN ITEM (SHOULD YOU HAVE ONE), OR SIMPLY HAVE THAT CHARACTER WAIT ON THE SPOT. YOU MAY ALSO CHOOSE TO DO ONE OF THESE ACTIONS WITHOUT MOVING, BUT DO NOTE THAT DOING THIS FORFEITS YOUR ABILITY TO MAKE ANY FURTHER MOVE.
ONCE ALL PLAYERS HAVE MADE THEIR MOVE, THE ENEMY SIDE SHALL DO THE SAME. AFTERWARDS, IT SHALL BE THE PLAYER'S TURN ONCE AGAIN.


THE CASE IS THE SAME FOR LOCATIONS "Maniacal Hideaway", "Wintry Forefront", AND "Richly Courtyard". GOOD LUCK.



OBJECTIVE: Reach the Stairs!
Player's Turn


(Please refer to the Players Database for Enemy Stats)
