@Ophidian Sad to see you go so soon, and I could have compromised if asked. You were kinda abrupt here as well. I take the blame for not being around to take a second look until after your first post.
In the past I've let people be part of Royal Skies for one. And, if it could really add to the plot of the story, i'd let you stay working for the Rockets. Just past experience tells me it probably won't work, but I've been wrong before.
So if you're going to leave, good luck.
I'll be honest, I've had some very bad experiences lately involving an offsite RPG's I've been a member of for years, it is entirely possible some of the bitterness leaked over, if that is so I apologize.
(another player went off the rails, I was too tangled in their plots to do anything about it, had to withdraw from the RPG for the sake of being able look myself in the eye, fun times)
Honestly, the Rocket thing was supposed to be an excuse to get him to every city in the region, rather then just those that had valuables locked away. If you're worried about rocket mooks marching in, I'm not the sort of player to pull an army out of me backside. I suppose I keep forgetting that I don't have a reputation on this site yet....
Looking at it from the outside, I can understand why you'd be concerned. It does seem rather worrying-especially since I didn't detail the data, or what it was. For that I do apologize.
I'd never really planned for it to be anything special. A trainer registry, maybe, of visitors to the centers, trainers in the region. Pokemon healed. Useful to an organization involved in poke-theft like Team Rocket. If any of the trainers ever visited Kanto, they'd have some idea of what they have, what they might be interested in buying if they're that sort, etc. Basically just logistics. Nothing special-but something a law enforcement organization would want to protect. I mean, there's a reason we guard our credit info so jealousy right? I figured the same would apply to a trainer registry.
It was also to demonstrate that despite his tragic backstory, and the kindness he shows his team, Jinx is still on the wrong side of the law, and there's a reason it's the wrong side. He might not be personally involved in said poke-theft, but he's certainly helping the logistics.
And he isn't working for the Rockets-he's under contract for them for the data. Everything else listed was for his profit alone.
If it absolutely won't work, I suppose we could just have his contact be busted back and Kanto, and the job called off. Leaving him to gallivant around the region to make sure he turns a profit
somehow.
