Another Villians Contact: Yuong Dida

Name: Yuong Dida
Level: 25-30
Zone: Sharkhead Isle
Missions: 5

If not contact: "I am smart enough to know you are not the person I want to see."

Introduction: "Why hello...I don't think I have introduced myself. I am Yuong. Yuong Dida. You know my father, Sheng? No? Ah, you will learn more about him later. Now let's begin shall we?"

1. Destroy the Saramstia Crystal

"Look here, [villian name]. I'm less...mean than my father. Still mean though. But I can see great potential in your eyes. I've heard that you've beat up many, many people in your time. My father would just back away now, as that's not all he wants for his apprentice. But I see you have more than others I have seen. Now, to fully prove to me you harness that kind of power, you need to do something for me. You see there's this crystal called the Saramstia Crystal. It's used as a power hub for the Circle of Thorn's magic. If you destroy it, we could severly weaken the Circle of Thorns. Got that?

I'm glad you accept. This could be very...promising for both of us."

Objectives:
Destroy the Saramstia Crystal
Defeat El'Nur

Entrance message: "The Saramsta Crystal isn't going to be standing for long."

Mission Complete!

2. Hit the Circle of Thorns while they're weak

"Turns out the Circle of Thorns can regenrate the crystal. Now, while you have the time, hit them. I would send you straight for the leaders, but things change when my father gets involved.

You see, my father gets his fair share of rewards from my work. He's going straight for the Circle of Thorns leaders himself. That means, we have to deal with their amateur henchmen. I'm going to send you to a base. Really big one. It's got hordes of the Circle of Thorns, so we can really beat 'em up.

I'm starting to take a intrest in you, bigger than I thought it would be. You handled your last mission very well. Let's hope this goes the same way."

Objectives:
Clear out the base

Entrance message: "Now that they're weak, the Circle of Thorns will be swift to destroy."

Effect on all Circle of Thorns: Crippled: The Circle of Thorns have been crippled by the destruction of the crystal. They lose -DMG, -END, -ACC and have 60% HP.

Mission Complete!

3. Assassinate Rera Viktiv

"Good work on that last mission. It's too bad my father is so pushy. OK, next up - Rera Viktiv is one of the big guys of the Circle of Thorns operating in Nerva. If we can eliminate him, we can distract other Circle of Thorns from other zones. I've got a plan in my mind which will really hit them, but it can't happen until we get the attention of the Circle of Thorns.

What are you waiting for? Get to it!"

Objectives:
Assasinate Rera Viktiv

Entrance message: "Rera Viktiv dies today."

Mission Complete!

4. Defeat all Circle of Thorns in area

"The Circle of Thorns have learned out little distrupsion and are coming into Sharkhead. Fend them off.

After this, I believe we can start the plan. Don't get killed now. You're missing out on the good part if that happens."

Objectives:
Clear Sharkhead

Entrance message: "The streets are now patrolled by the Circle of Thorns. Make sure that doesn't last long."

5. Defeat Lilitu and close the portal

"Lilitu is a advisor for the Circle of Thorns. She took part in the war between Mu and Oranbega 14000 years ago. Now, what does she have to do with this? Well, she's heard you managed to beat up the little invasion force and is coming for us. Just what I planned - we can eliminate one of the big ones in the Circle of Thorns. I'm trusting you to do it. Now, that's really...it. Wait a minute, oh. There's a portal. This portal allows the Circles of Thorns to transport through the zones - they just made it, it seems. I need you to close that portal so Lilitu can't get in. If you are too late, then your hopes of pleasing me fail.

That is all."

Objectives:
Defeat Lilitu
Close the portal

Entrance message: "Lilitu has some pretty strong bodyguards."

CUTSCENE
Lilitu: "Yuong is caught up in his little world. He cannot fight us!"
Lilitu: "...but his little apprentice wants to."

Mission Complete!/Mission Failed!

Mission Completed: "Congratulations. You've done much, much better than I expected. Although Lilitu is still on the run, the Circle of Thorns will know not to deal with us again. I hope our little time together shows the benifets of working with me. Also, come back when you're level 45. I wish to talk to you about something."

Mission Failed: "Gah...you failed. She has got away, and you did nothing about it. Maybe you weren't what I was looking for. You were promising up until this moment. I'm not as hard-pressing as my father, though. Come back when you're level 45. I want to talk to you about something then."

If talked to after arc and not level 45: "I said, Level 45. Wasn't that clear to you? I don't want to talk to you until then."

There's far too much CoT content in Villains in my opinion; how about swapping some things around and introducing your "Morea Clan" with this contact so they don't come out of the blue in the higher level contacts arc?

First off, I'd have to change Lili to a Morea Clan AV, which is only one, Master Morea. And Master Morea is in Sheng's arc. So that's a problem there.

Secondly, I think the whole plot of this is better suited to CoT - the Morea Clan isn't big enough to invade Sharkhead, use crystals as power hubs, and not smart enough to create portals like that.

In my opinion when a contact just says out loud "come back at lvl something or the other" it breaks the immersion a bit.
So it would be better if she said "Come back when you are stronger. And then when you talk to her before level 45 she says something like "I said when you are stronger. Wasn't that clear to you?" and in "( )" say the level needed before you can start the next part.

But thats just me.

Other than that semi /signed because it is at a much better level.(not fully signed for what I wrote above. What? Immersion can be important and contacts currently ingame that states a specific level just like that bothers me)

I can see you have a good point there. I would edit it, but since thanks to 6 hour editing only, I can't edit it.

So let's just pretend it's there, eh?

/signed

What I am wondering here is why would my villain want to be involved? Does he dislike CoT? Sure, they are a pain. But he is not a hero, there is no profit in this Story to attract him.

Sure, he has done a bit of heroic actions now and then but only after the contact tried to persuade him that villaingroup would become a problem for him making a profit in a later stadium.

And yes, I would like to see this arc using the Morea clan. After this mess it seems they are dealt with once and for all, hurray. Only to turn up their ugly faces later in the fathers arc.

Ps. Young seems to be a weak willed character always talking about how great his father is. I would suggest, less father talk, more about how great he thinks himself to be.

After the arc in Newspaper Missions you get a 50% less chance of CoT missions appearing. That's why 'They'll know not to deal with us' again.

Did you even read the arc? The Morea clan were not "dealt with once and for all". They didn't even appear.

As you can see Yuong is less mean, he's not so self-proud and rather talks about his father's strength as he has done many daring things in the past (although after that he's a bit lazy).

Ok first off, there is no way your arc will have influence over the newspaper misisons.

Plus, nowhere in the arc is my villain influenced to do this one. Hurting CoT? Sure if you pay me for it or if they are in the way of my mission. But we are not heroes and frankly it is in my interest that the gangs keep roughly as strong as they are now. It keeps the demand for my villains services strong.

About your other question. Yes I read the other arc and commented about it. See that thread.

It is you who introduces two related contacts and introduce a new criminal group. I think you should make sure the storyarcs fit together and introduce the new organization properly. If you don't, you are missing the opportunity to create a good story.
