team progress - Sealcraft/Sealcraft-Pixelmon GitHub Wiki

General information (Including the goal and what servers they were relevant in) Active throughout Sword, Bismuth, B2smuth, Pyrite and Agate, Team Progress counted among the earlier evil teams of Sealcraft. They did not think of themselves as such, the goal of erasing the past, in their eyes, a noble one. Led by Ace, a more or less unwilling time traveler who has finally settled down to establish this organisation, they were connected to several significant events, for example the wipe between B1smuth and B2smuth.

Plans and Timeline (An overview of what the team did and accomplished/Sought to achieve) To erase the past and the destruction wrought, the pain and expectations inherited from ancestors long gone, Team Progress intended to erase anything before all together. This plan technically succeeded, resulting in the wipe between B1smuth and B2smuth, but with only the world reset, people simply built it all anew from what they remembered, changing very litte in the end. Thus the goal and plan expanded to include wiping everyone's memory. It did not change further as the world was swallowed by corruption, as Ace along most of their team and generally a lot of trainers fled the all-consuming disturbance, nor later when a flood reclaims the twisted reflection of their world. Some had mirror images, others did not. Before that, however, there were artifacts to be uncovered and studied in the world, among them something akin to an egg absorbing knowledge in a mansion that also served as a gym. Ruthless and efficient as ever, this was dealt with by setting the area ablaze and rummaging through the ruins. Unfortunately, the treasure could not be found, and soon other events forced a retreat. At least the leader of Team Progress does not make it past Agate, chooses not to board one of the submarines in favour of keeping already established facilities and resources, attempting to find a solution to the repeated catastrophes in a world they are familiar with rather than starting anew once more. Yes, the irony of this is intentional. Though of course they claim that in the end either choice will hardly matter.

Symbol (Information about symbols and themes associated with the team) As most (evil) teams do, Team Progress had a symbol associated with them. It is best described as a monochrom eye inside a gear, partially covered by a single wing pointing right. Each part has its own meaning- The eye because they only look forward, sever the tether to what lies behind, similar to the wing, which represents shedding shackles of the past, flying and soaring once more, unburdened. Gears are often associated with clocks, but part of this one is covered and hidden, perhaps even overtaken, by the wing covering it, describing the means they plan to use to achieve their goal, erasing the past in favor of a better future.

Members and Structure (Information about the structure and operating of the team) Warriors Warriors were in charge of fighting and sometimes training, those who made up the front line whenever there was trouble. They governed over battle-items and similar community resources, as well the Blisseys used to quickly boost levels. Builders Responsible for building and creating, whether expanding (or excavating) the main base or other projects. They worked together closely with both gatherers and explorers, the latter to determine advantageous locations, the former to obtain necessary materials. Gatherers With the task of obtaining and distributing items as well as materials, this section happened to be the biggest, sharing with each other and the team at whole what was needed at any given time. Explorers Always moving, never content with the same old walls and nothing more, explorers covered more ground than anyone else. Discovered temples and structures, hidden gems and rare biomes. Were someone to ask for a desert or a jungle temple, they would be the most likely to know coordinates of either. Spies Small as the number of evil teams and other organisations may have been in the beginning, it grew steadily. Knowledge is power, and when your goal in some capacity is to save the world, you cannot amass enough of it. To know when and what moves others would make, sometimes before they did, was invaluable, a task performed by the spies, absolutely loyal to Ace.

Notable characters (Information about important characters, can be kept short because for those who will get their own page. Also includes the pokemon team of said characters if applicable) Ace The leader of this team, though one may think them a puppet to others at first glance due to their child-like appearance. More or less abducted through time and space at a very young age has messed with their physical growth, not that they should be underestimated because of it. Calm and calculated most of the time they see no shame in failure, in having to try again, as with their goal achieved it will not matter either way. They believe believe in the goodness of their actions, that the end excuses the means, prove to be charismatic despite their appearance, rallying many other trainers to their cause.
