Mission Rankings
PARADIGM ranks missions on a D to S system to signify the urgency and scale of the mission. The descriptions of the rankings are as follows.
D Rank Missions: Missions of a standard cleanup/containment nature. The danger is localized, the threat is of a relatively small scale, and the mission can be handled by roughly any agent worth their salt, albeit some might need help.
Payment: 1,000 dollars. (100,000 ¥)
C Rank Missions: Missions which are of a more serious threat level, actually requiring a bit more than standard action, which can have farther reaching consequences, such as affecting an entire city or area. The dangers involved in this type of mission can vary by the number or the nature of the threat, and are to be taken seriously by all but the strongest of agents.
Payment: 5,000 dollars. (500,000 ¥)
B Rank Missions: More serious missions, the kind which can have far-reaching consequences. Often a precursor to something larger and PARADIGM is taking preventative measures, or something of a small-scale disaster. Powerful single targets or organized groups qualify as B Rank missions, and agents are advised to come prepared for the worst.
Payment: 10,000 dollars. (1,000,000 ¥)
A Rank Missions: Missions of this rank are of a deadly serious nature. An entire country or region is at risk, the danger is widespread or immediate, and things have to be handled decisively and with high risk. Incredibly powerful single opponents with dangerously organized groups or armies might be involved, or actual natural disasters on a country-wide scale. All agents are ordered to proceed with caution, and to end this ASAP.
Payment: 25,000 dollars. (2,500,000 ¥)
S Rank Missions: Missions for the strongest and most qualified of agents. S Rank missions are of a planetary scale, and the threats are numerous, widespread and incredibly dangerous both on a personal and organizational scale. Several high-ranking agents are required for these kinds of missions, and the urgency is directly proportionate to how widespread the danger is. These might be time and resource consuming missions, and all agents are ordered to be ready to be involved for an extended amount of time.
Payment: 50,000 dollars. (5,000,000 ¥)
SS and SSS Rank Missions: Missions of an S rank which are on a scale yet unseen. Possibly galactic or universal scale. Expect the apocalypse if a mission of this rank is ever attempted, and all agents are to participate. Note: Any mission which gains the SS rank means it was an S Rank that was not accomplished, so the dangers are doubled or tripled, at least, and all agents are to take up arms and participate.
Payment: 100,000 to 500,000 dollars. (10,000,000 to 50,000,000 ¥)

- For Genre, it's pretty much what you feel the mission is. People have used Intel / Mytery / Political / Magical / Drama / Martial Arts / Adventure / Spiritual / Espionage / Sci-Fi / Fantasy / Action / Horror / Comedy / Survival / Mature / Supernatural so far.
- The : indents the paragraph. Also, you do not need to use the BR or P codes for breaks and paragraphs. Just spacing with enter and using : at the beginning is enough.
- Toggledisplay is finicky, so it has to be on its own line. If it's on a line with something else, it may cause issues. Toggledisplay is what hides the bulk of your synopsis to keep the page a bit more manageable.

- Synopsis: Agents were called to retrieve plans for the Rebel Alliance, and were shown that Ciel Etoile, recognized by agent Jackal, was behind the abduction of the Droid carrying the plans.
[show details]
- After getting weapons from the Rebels, the agents made their way via the EPOCH to the forest moon where the Imperial base was located. After getting undue attention from an Imperial Walker, the agents managed to subdue the pilot, and used it to approach the base undetected. However, the base management contacted them, and kept closing in on their ruse. Agent Swiftblade transported agents Testarossa, Clan-Clan, and Lynde into the base as a group of engineers and Imperial Stormtroopers approached their Walker, while agents Sie, Tanaka, Strafe, Jackal and Langley made their way in with agent Jones.
- Once inside, the alarm was sounded, but agent Clan Clan shut it down, as well as locking down doors as they fought their way down to the engine systems. Several Imperial Stormtroopers got in the way, but with agent Jackal's training, they made their way past them. However, agent Clan Clan's devices were flushed out and the system turned against them. When they reached the engine systems, however, they noticed falling metal, and were met with an enemy agent, capable of deflecting blaster shots, armed with two lightsabers, and telekinesis, identified as a Sith, took on all agents.
- The battle was amazingly brutal, with him choking agent Swiftblade, blasting agent Sie with lightning, and eventually crippling both agents Sie and Jones with his lightsabers. However, between the combined assaults, he was taken down. Agent Swiftblade went into the room where the Droid was located, but was ambushed by the Innovator. He was used as a hostage as Stormtroopers began to mass in the room, but agent Clan-Clan managed to open the door. The group then questioned the droid, which had been seriously damaged, and ascertained the plans were disposed of. Agents Jones and Sie were taken into the Epoch, as well as the droid. Colonel Stomp heard them recount their battle with the Sith, identifying him as 'Darth Vader', and proceeded to evacuate the base as agents returned home for some critical medical attention.

- After a few bizarre introductions, the agents ventured forth.. taking a path into the forest. With a few twists and turns, eventually they stumbled upon the cave of a Cyclops. The Cyclops at first threatened to eat the agents all up but then was able to be reasoned with, saying that instead he would love a great burger instead. As the Cyclops continued to dwell on the thought of this delicious burger, the agents sneaked off to resume their quest.
- As they continued on their path, the scenery began to change and it was apparent that they were approaching a volcano. Apparently, whoever had kidnapped Pia's friends was keeping them hostage in a tower or castle that was dangerously near one. After bypassing a few traps, the agents were able to locate the culprit who had kidnapped Pia's friends and the princess. While Agent Shinshi Seta and Agent Takeo Masaki worked on freeing hostages, the other agents did battle against the kidnapper, who was none other than Phantasmoon. She explained that she needed these individuals because of their high quantities of mana. She then summoned a dragon love love beast and at first the agents did not want to fight the dragon. The dragon was too cute. Then the dragon went crazy and grew up to become ugly.. and the agents were then able to fight it. Phantasmoon escaped and the dragon was then defeated. The agents returned back to Pia with her friends and the princess and then left home with the Epoch.

Once they headed off to find Ophelia .. they passed by a large wagon carrying several crates in it leaving they very warehouse that Ophelia was heading into, with the engineer they had been told about.' Beoulve used some kind of gemstone to activate a self-propelled suit of armor she'd apparently blackmailed this Engineer into making for her. ' as Takeo put it. After a long and gruesome battle Ophelia would escape and her new project would be halted .. but even after the battle .. the machine wasn't completely destroyed .. it was left to auto destruct while Ophelia fled the scene.. after destroying half the city to do so. What ever the Construct was .. it was powerful, immune to magic, and it's seemed to shrug off most attacks, while still becoming damaged it didn't seem to care much.... Our Heroes soon returned home .. with a number of injuries.

[show details]
- There were enough fairies in the sky to turn night time into day time. Blair the Cat arrived to explain to the agents (after being hugged furiously by Hanako) that the fairies left their home in an enchanted cave after the completion of the last mission PARADIGM carried out for Soul Eater. She explained the objective was to get the entity in the cave to leave the cave so the fairies may return.
- Upon getting to the cave, it seemed like they were lost in the tunnel network, so Hanako used her abilities to summon two cats to scout ahead. One dismayed ninja cat returned with a disgruntled expression, pointing the way. Upon finding the main cave, Faustlin turned off a very loud and annoying record player that had a song on repeat. The moment the needle left the player, the sword in the room scolded Faustlin for interrupting his new hit album. The sword revealed itself, much to Drake's delight, to be EXCALIBUR! SWORD OF LEGEND!
- After much banter and conversation that seemed to lead itself in circles, Samhain and Hanako both suggested to Excalibur that he needed to get back out intoe the world. After considering their terms, Excalibur set it upon himself to carry out this task to find a new hero to work with, as no one else can be trusted with such a delicate job. After Hanako flatly refused to take Excalibur's offer to wield him and become a hero of justice, Excalibur departed, abandoning the cave.
- Distraught upon the very thought that they may have doomed the planet itself, the agents returned to Death City to report to Blair what had occurred. Hanako required a hug before they returned home.

- Synopsis: The true foe reveals himself after Ophelia decides to come back to the side of light.. Altima Summoned.
[show details]
- Our Agents arrived on site and spoke with Lavian and Alicia. It seems Ophelia managed to get her hands on the Virgo Auracite and was now making plans to summon a being known as Altima The High Seraphim. The agents managed to gain quick access to the chapel thanks to Agent Aimi Utada's use of Song Bird, Knocking out the guards at the front gate. Due to Agent Bartiel Onyx prior to this, one of the soldiers fled inside before Aimi was able to sleep him. So our agents gave chase! .. Running into two knight like constructs, Our agents quickly subdued them to continue tailing the archer. One to the next floor they ran into another group of Soldiers that Aimi once agian Song birded to sleep. Though another battle would be prevented .. the Alexander Knights were joined by a Dragoon Model..Our Agents had a rough fight on there hands. The Alexander bots proved to be faster, stronger and pretty much unaffected by magic and holy powers as Agents Maggie and Bartiel quickly found out ... a vicious fight would ensue. Thanks to the efforts of Agents Takeo Masaki, Gilbert and Aimi, the 3 knight bots where finally destroyed. During the fight however Bartiel rushed ahead to stop the archer ... and was met with a shot to the leg and head ...thankfully they where spell bullets, he was only Immoblized and Muted.
- Bartiel, instead of finding the archer stumbled on Ophelia Beoulve ..Whom Bart would proceed to question the motives of. After a short talk ..It was discovered exactly why She was on this crusade.. The others quickly joined the scene as she was about to leave Bart to be shot by her chemists ..thankfully Agent Masaki delt with them before they could cause any damage. Our agents started to speak with Ophelia ..questioning her motives .. telling her her family..that is what is left of her family misses her dearly ..and that she had become the very monster she was fighting to destroy ...This broke Ophelia's spirit.. Unable to bring herself to fight .. she slumped to the floor. Our Agents offered to set her on the right path to redemption.. and for a moment .. it looked as if she was actually going to go through with there plans ..she had started to turn towards the light once more... but it would not last long ..as Gilbert was helping her to her feet, a sword burst through her chest...seems some one did not like this plan ... they would see a Blonde man in a green cloak, with golden armor on, snarling and laughing at there attempts to save Ophelia, saying that her bloodline shall be destroyed for everything they had done to the church of Galbados...
- Aimi, Bartiel, and Takeo ..Enraged by the sudden attack on Ophelia, rushed in and struck out at the man with righteous fury while Gilbert tried desperately to heal Ophelia.. whom was suffering and dieing slowly in his arms, unable to speak. All she could do was claw at Gil's armor ..trying to stay alive ... but it will be all for not.. Lady Ophelia would pass on ..letting a last few gasps of air....All according to plan..this is just what the mysterious man wanted ..with Ophelia dead .. the Virgo stone she held would take over and there would be no resistance from Ophelia's will ...and thus ..a God was born into the world once more ...Altima The High Seraphim.
- So the battle with the High Seraphim would ensue .. with some quick thinking they managed to pull Ophelia free of the monsters grasp ... but that did not destroy the would by God...our heroes where caught in a horrid battle pushing most of there to there very limits, Thankfully with the help of Agent Akio Minamino, Our agents would survive the ordeal. with no loses .. but they where beated battered and blooded .. most of them tired out from the long winded battle...
- They would return to the surface .. hoping that while Ophelia was in the care of Lavian and Alicia they could have saved her ..but it seems that Ophelia had passed on and was not able to be saved .. no make how many attempts Akio and the others gave to her. Takeo informed the the knights of the goings on in the church while the others returned to the Epoch. Promising to give Ophelia a proper burial, and inform Lady Oaks and Lord Beoulve of the events that transcended her .. but Takeo gained some important information. The man that slain Ophelia was of house Tengille..So they have a name for whom to seek vengeance on if they so wished ... our Agents would return home with another victory under there belt .. though it was short lived and bitter sweet.
Operation #159: The Quest For Science
- Description: Global Purity's systems have been triggered, and nothing good can come of it. Data and technology should not leave this place at any cost. Cross Gate and Dimensional Disturbance Detected.
- Rank: A
- Genre: Action
- Location: Global Purity HQ
- Client: Seeing Time
- Status: Closed
- Participants:
- Synopsis: Agents were sent post haste by Seeing Time, a PARADIGM officer, to the Global Purity Headquarters in the birth-world of Eletian Carmichael due to a break-in, with orders to prevent any data theft.
[show details]
- Agents appeared on the lifeless, war-torn world, where automatic war machines continued to war. They made their way into the Global Purity HQ, and then saw the systems were active. Automated defenses were made short work of, but the agents still had 250 floors to go down, and non-functional elevators. With some effort, they made their way down fifty floors, but were met down there by a giant, recently made hole, still smoking. While debating the merits of hopping down there, they were contacted on the intercom by Eletian Carmichael. The Rogue Ultimate Lifeform said he needed their help to make his way deeper into the building, due to its reinforcements. After some dissension, the agents agreed, due to the imminent threat of a possible army of others like him.
- After focusing everyone's power in one spot, Eletian Carmichael and his partner, an odd cyborg girl, made their way down the new hole, 80 floors deeper. Agents quickly followed, with agent Hibiki first after him. However, due to his motorcycle, Carmichael made his way down before the others, who needed to make their way down a bit slower due to the drop. When they reached the 230th basement, they saw the impact of their hit, which left a dent but no damage to the armour of this floor. However, further down the hall was a perfect hole that led them down to the bottom 20 floors, birthplace of the Ultimate Lifeform Project. Agents made their way down and saw a battle in progress between Carmichael and a man, which seemed relatively evenly matched.
- Agents Hibiki and Saotome focused on Carmichael, along with agent Kiske, while agents Sparda, Masaki, Kakita, Gilbert and Uchiha focused on the new opponent, who seemed quite adept at not taking much damage from direct hits. The man, calling himself Dr. Gennosuke Shuku, crushed everyone in the room under immense gravity, then attempted to hit Carmichael, who had been critically injured by agent Hibiki, with a Black Hole, or so he claimed. Agent Gilbert struck him to prevent the attack, then agent Onyx started promoting assistance to Carmichael to use his strength against the new threat. Agent Masaki's teleportation was interrupted, then he was summarily struck down by Dr. Shuku, who also resisted an attack through his back from agent Uchiha, who then proceeded to destroy the computer systems, while all still standing agents hit Dr. Shuku with their most powerful attacks, causing some damage, but leaving him standing.
- Agents argued with each other over the difference of strategy involving Carmichael, who made his way out, and struck a blow at Dr. Shuku while he was fighting against agents Gilbert and Onyx, due to agent Masaki's condition. Carmichael then left with his partner, leaving behind a spell to trap agent Saotome, after incapacitating agent Hibiki, taking down two agents in the process. Dr. Shuku then said he was leaving, as he had nothing more to draw from here, opened a dimensional distortion, and stepped through. Agents then returned home. Dissension over agent Onyx's position about Carmichael and agents Hibiki and Uchiha has been noted.
Operation #160: Event Horizon
- Description: Defending the Stahl from Dr. Gennosuke Shuku is a priority, according to Jach Swiftblade. Mobilize there and help guard the Drive from his hands. Crossgate and Dimension Distortions.
- Rank: A
- Genre: Fortress Defense
- Location: Stahl
- Client: Seeing Time & Jach Swiftblade
- Status: Closed
- Participants:
- Synopsis: Seeing Time and Jach Swiftblade organized the agents to defend the Drive and attempt to stop Gennosuke Shuku from accomplishing his goals of getting the information off Agent Swiftblade's ship.
[show details]
- A surprising intrusion aboard the ship made agents have to hurry to get to the location where Gennosuke Shuku and his troops appeared, structurally the closest and safest to the core of the ship, breached via a powerful gravity quake, followed by mass teleportation. Taking a monorail as Revision Two handled automatic defenses, agents got to the location, and were immediately besieged by the Bioroids, firing at them with energy attacks from their hands. Agent Lynde managed to raise a barrier, then a fight broke out between the agents and the troopers. Agents Filbuster, Shinra and Leben managed to take down three of them with some damage, and agent Shinra and Uchiha took down the last. They then were rocked by a giant gravity pull towards the center of the ship. Revision Two's taunts had caused Dr. Shuku to blast a hole deep inside.
- As the agents moved on ahead, they were in a large, empty, deformed corridor and facing more of the troopers, each unleashing blast after blast at them. Agent Shinra took Uchiha down a separate path, to avoid the guards, leaving the others to deal with them. Agent Filbuster managed to literally flood the hallway and crush the enemy soldiers, washing them away down the hall, unfortunately back towards their employer. Agent Testarossa finished off the Bioroids still alive on the way to the center of the ship. However, during this time, Agents Shinra and Uchiha attempted to assassinate Dr. Shuku by making him swallow something which would grow inside him, but to no effect. Agent Shinra managed to take out three of the troopers, but her summon, Yojimbo, was destroyed by Dr. Shuku, and she was seriously wounded in the process. When the other agents arrived, she had convinced Dr. Shuku the Drive wasn't there, which made him decide to destroy the ship.
- The agents confronted Shuku there, as he charged up an attack he called Black Hole Cluster. Agent Leben attempted to knife him as agent Testarossa fired at him with her RAIL weapon system, to little effect. Agent Shinra suggested to Leben to attack his mind, to which he responded by launching the incomplete attack at both women, with agent Shinra taking the brunt of the attack, almost killing her instantly, save for agent Lynde's interference. Agent Leben's attacks did seem to affect him, which let the others cause damage to him as he was weakened. After a brief skirmish, Dr. Shuku decided to leave, during which time agents kept an eye on him but let him get away in one of his own wormholes. Agents then returned to the base to get some much needed medical attention.
Operation #161: Sowing the Seeds of War
- Description: An abandoned war-time laboratory has been raided. To prevent whatever was in there from restarting a decades-over war, the situation needs to be contained. Dimensional Disturbance Detected.
- Rank: A
- Genre: Action, Sci-Fi
- Location: Olympiad Colony and Julius 9.
- Client: Cagalli Yula Attha
- Status: Closed
- Participants:
- Synopsis: Contacted by a peace loving island nation's ruler, the agents were told of a man who had been hunting down traces of a super soldier program they later learned was called 'Extended', and asked them to help stop him, as their war machines, called Gundams, were decommissioned years ago.
[show details]
- Taking the papers handed to them, the agents went to the science station colony, Olympiad. The place seemed deserted for years, except for a single, still relatively well maintained building, where a giant hole was blown through the fortified wall. Agents made their way in, the whole place's admittedly diminished staff found dead and strewn about. Agents eventually found a reinforced door, led there by agent Fontaine with agents Dreyar and Saotome finding a hand, to use its prints to open the door, finding behind it a biotics lab, with 30 tanks, filled with dead-seeming, tumor ridden humanoids, save for the 27th. Agent Shinra took the Hard Drive from the computer in the system, but then were contacted by Kira Yamato, telling them the Aprilus 9 PLANT was under attack.
- Agents broke away from Olympiad and made their way to Aprilus 9. Arriving there, the place was already a mess, with people running and the industrial sector in disarray and flames. The agents went there, where they encountered the enhanced soldiers (later called Ultimate Life Forms) that were terrorizing the place. Agents engaged them, but they were gifted with superhuman strength, resilience, reflexes, and the ability to fire energy blasts out of their hands. Agent Baton noticed they had electronic systems over them, and agents began using water-based and electrical attacks, while agent Utada kept them separate. Three of the beings were killed, and the other was blown away by agent Dreyar.
- Alarms sounded through the PLANT, that the station's core was being attacked. Agents made their way down into the technological area, where they found an armored figure and Gennosuke Shuku waiting for them, with the self-destruct alarm, and the control panel slashed up. Dr. Shuku explained that this one was better than the Ultimate Life Forms he had brought, and then agents attacked this new opponent while agent Shinra attempted to bypass the controls. Agents Saotome and Hokage attacked Dr. Shuku with no real effect, making the fight turn entirely to the newcomers. Agents attempted to keep this new opponent off of agent Shinra, with agents Dreyar and Hokage causing decent damage to him, but agent Baton was cut down and agent Shinra's arm was severed. After a drawn out battle, Dr. Shuku and his associate escaped, as agent Shinra finished her work, and agent Hokage used his Guardian Force to resurrect agent Baton. Agents were then rushed away from Aprilus 9 to head back to medical.

- Client: Akihiko Sanada
- Status: Closed
- Synopsis: Self doubt is a killer.
[show details]
- The Agents met up with Akihiko Sanada At a Tokyo train station at around 11:40 pm and spoke for sometime with him about the mission details. After some prodding from Agent Hitomi Uzumaki they began learning of the Dark Hour and various other happenings going on involving this case. Several of The Shadow Operatives agents have gone missing during an investigation and Paradigm was contacted for search and rescue. The Dark Hour is an expanse of time that exists between Midnight and 12:01am, anyone who experiences this time is generally whisked away to a strange alternate world where monsters known as Shadows roam free. The event seems to be triggered by a strange train that shows up at around midnight, which the agency is dubbing The 'Midnight Express'. It is unclear if the train itself is generating this strange realm or if other forces are at play here. Once entering the Dark hour our agents discovered that a majority of Electronics do not seem to work to well within that realm ... though a few items still remained functional.
- Finding a still functional Radio and motorcycle, Agent Wilhelmina managed to contact the a man known as Naguma Sanosuke, from the sounds of it, he was badly injured and needed assistance. With the help of Agent Akio Minamino, They were able to easily track down the location of Sanosuke. It was a strange building that.. in the normal world would have been a hotel, but it had be warped by the Dark Hour.Once they had approached, they quickly encountered a woman in similar clothing as Sanada, Marle Okita, A fellow agent who was fleeing for her life from a collection of Shadow Monsters known as Gluttons, Not exceptionally Powerful creatures but they attack in packs and devour those they can corner. The agents, using quick thinking and tactics managed to smite the Shadows before any real harm could be done to Marle.They spoke with the woman and learned that Naguma was on the top floor of the building, after healing her and sending her back towards the train station they continued on there way. Something occurred to the agents though. '..There ..There all gone ....all ...gone" Naguma mentions that his patrol had been wiped out ...so then where did Marle come from and why did she know about Naguma's team.
- Once at the top floor they found an agent slain at the elevator ..but not by a shadow, the man clearly died of a gunshot wound to the head, execution style. It wasn't long before they found Naguma, prone on the ground .. and another Naguma ..standing nearby.. The one seemed to speak of strange things, like how 'They' got there squad killed, 'They' are responsible for what happened here. The Naguma on the floor seeming to be having a freak out .. finally screaming 'NO! YOU ARE NOT ME!" ...and The other Naguma Transformed! 'I am a Shadow, The True Self." The creature announced. a battle with the Monster would issue, Eventually our Agents would rise to the challenge and the 'demon' was defeated. This, however, had a strange impact on Naguma, who suddenly became completely unresponsive. They would return to Sanada to update him.
- Speaking with Sanada they discovered a number of things. First, Marle Okita is in fact an agent of the Shadow Operatives, but she is now currently M.I.A.. Second They learned that the coffins they saw in the shadow world were reflections of the people in this one. Third, they learned that Naguma, because he had not accepted what the strange alter Naguma was saying .. is likely to be comatose..and may never recover.
Over all it was a successful mission. The remaining agents saved.. but more questions where brought up then answered...
