WHAT WILL YOU FILL IT WITH? All civilized locations in UNOVR are developed with help from the players. Anyone is free to make a thread in a settlement board where they construct part of the town. At this point, the settlement has only a Starter Lab, and doesn't even have a formal name! What does this place need? Go ahead and add your ideas to the evolving image. Once a new area unlocks, all development will be locked for this settlement. GENRE: GOTHIC/WESTERN Based on the results of this poll, the Asper Starting Settlement will be GOTHIC themed with secondary aspects of the WILD WEST. Please look at this as an opportunity to combine genre in interesting new ways! We request you try to focus on fusing these two genres rather than including clashing aspects of both (for example, instead of referencing cowboys and vampires, try to think what the gothic equivalent of a cowboy would be (maybe a vampire hunter?). LET'S START BUILDING! > TO CREATE SOMETHING in the settlement, make an in-character post in the settlement board where you reference the planning of, construction of, or completion of something in the town. Your character does not have to be directly involved in this process-- just referencing its existence is fine. You can create whatever you want on any scale (a golden statue of Purugly, a famous hot dog stand, a coffeeshop district), but each player can only make one thing per thread! We encourage players to make locations, infrastructure, and landmarks that will be fun for other players to interact with in the future. Some examples are listed below: - Residential Areas, Houses - Agricultural Areas, Farms/Ranches - Shops, Restaurants, Businesses - Roads & Bridges - Towers, Castles, Temples - Hospitals, Hotels/Hostels - Parks, Gardens - Art, Statues, Museums - Festivals, Culture, or Tradition - Local Legends, Mysterious Phenomena Once you're done with your thread, post here with a link and a brief description of what you created. It will be incorporated into the settlement's board description and Codex entry when complete! Remember your contribution must match the ~~gothic/western~~ genre! `LINK TO THREAD: [a href=""]Here[/a] DESCRIPTION: What did you make?`

When inside, there is always rain lashing against the windows, the pews lit by the occasional flash of lightning. There rarely seems to be anyone inside, though chanting can often be heard by those passing by. Perhaps there's some sort of secret entrance...? More popular than the Church itself is the library contained within.

Though... there are an unusual amount of those truth be told. These gardens focus on delicious and nutritious foods that Pokemon just love to eat! People are also welcome to try the foods but beware, some of them might be a little bit on the bitter side.

Good for a rootin tootin gay ole time, but be careful, there's a squeaky step somewhere when you walk in and if you set that sucker off you're payin double! There's plenty of dark corners for the mysterious types to brood in, and even more tables to gather the gang around to plan a heist. There's even a piano that sometimes plays a hauntingly upbeat tune to fill the silence when nobodies paying too close attention to it!

Each and every one is decorated with exquisite monochrome paintings, from portraits of Asper's most noticeable figures to vivid combat scenes that look remarkably like the events of the settlement's recent history. Take a literal trip down memory lane when exploring the infinite halls of the Gallery of the Endless Memoire. Free admission to anyone whose semblance is to be found in one of the painting! (Spoiler alert: that's YOU!)

These posters contain open quest info, trade requests, etc. Despite the Western theme of the posters, all of the written info is in flowing gothic script and language. Interacting with the posters will open UI options to interact with them further, for example to initiate a trade request, or to join the quest and initiate fast travel.

Low in traffic for now, shows are community pitched and funded. Think of it as... open source shows!

A cat-saloon, oddly reminiscent of a modern day cat-cafe where cat pokemon casually lounge around. And yet, should one know the secret passcode for the day and speak it to the barkeep, a patron is welcomed back into it's seedy underbelly where the most illegal of activities happen. Littens and their evolved forms lounge about, keeping hot tubs in giant wooden tubs running, and sauna rooms nice and steamy for patrons. It's a bit of a poorly kept secret for players, and word quickly spreads online of what the secret word is every day. Occasionally, NPCs can be found milling about in the wonderfully warm waters.

With the sudden onset of intense population, the settlement exploded in population, and trash and garbage have to go somewhere. Filled with junk from construction, trash discarded from residential and commercial sections, and all other kinds of discarded rubbish. While it was originally planned as a temporary dumping grounds, certain species of Pokemon have moved in and made it a proper home for themselves. You never know what kind of rubbish one can find discarded, but there is one thing for certain, it is always interesting.

There is a rhythm minigame to dodge the guards' Bullet Seeds to escape, though the minigame might switch for other people. It's easier to escape with two people.
