Pop quiz! What do pocket monsters have in common with bandits? Aliens!
Okay, that was bad. Let me start over. This is Bordermon, a mashup of both Pokémon and Borderlands. Pokémon is a children’s strategy roleplaying game where you raise adorable little monsters to battle each other and learn about friendship. Borderlands is a black comedy first-person shooter with roleplay elements where you shoot bandits in the face and fight alien weapons of mass destruction. Naturally, this called for a crossover.
Welcome back to the Orre region, where Team Cipher and Team Snagem once ran amok. When they moved out, the Dustfiends moved in. After all, someone had to pick up the slack in the poaching business. Orre is lacking in wild Pokémon, and there’s mad money to be made if you know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy.
Meanwhile, a mining corporation by the name of Apex Industries has run into a bit of an… issue. While drilling for evolution stones, a group of miners broke through a cave wall, revealing an ancient tomb with a cluster of weird purple glowing rocks. This would be face-meltingly awesome, if it weren’t for the fact that it was literally face meltingly awesome. Apex Industries released a statement mourning the loss of the workers in a tragic mine collapse, while a sample of the ore was encapsulated and discreetly brought back to the laboratory for testing. Archaeologists are expected to arrive shortly.
And since bad things happen in threes, a lone Pokemon professor is now sitting absolutely flummoxed in her office, trying to figure out why strange mutations have been occurring in the few wild Pokemon that have been slowly returning to the region. It sure would be nice if the Dustfiends stopped raiding her ecological compound long enough for some actual research to get done! Well, hiring trainers seems to work for all the other professors…
Thus begins Bordermon, an adventure in the power of friendship and alien weaponry.

So has everyone abandoned ship on the report cards thread?I know hesp jumped but we can just ghost his character into a corner then write her out.
To be honest I'm not certain what I'm doing with Imogen right now, so I'm reluctant to throw her into a new scene. I've become frustrated with her. =|
I'd be happy to toss in Luther; however, she just joined AEGIS 108 so she won't really be able to report much on the students. Part of the reason Damaged and I opened that thread was for students to join, for our teachers to get impressions of them, to have a class (since that's the point of the facility) but it hasn't seen much activity yet with all the other missions going on.
