Phantom Thieves Signup!

The main feature of the Phantom Thieves is the ability to consistently team up with other characters in order to pull off a heist. The presence of multiple characters banding together under one organisation allows them to steal from more high profile or complex targets than they would perhaps otherwise be able to handle alone.

To this end, the Phantom Thieves organisation has it’s own ‘Bulletin Board’ of sorts, where preparatory tasks for a heist will be listed. These consist of smaller tasks, such as gaining intel, or obtaining a specific item for example. These tasks are usually left vague enough that RPers may get creative with how they complete them and what the results of the completion are, but the base objective is listed. Members of the Phantoms who complete these preparatory tasks will be rewarded for them, similarly to how the Guild works.

Though of course, preparatory tasks are nothing if they don’t culminate in something! Once all the preparatory tasks for a heist have been completed, the final heist can begin! Each ‘heist’ will occur in one thread, usually labelled with a [Heist] indicator in the title and will either consist of the members involved RPing out the heist as a large group, or characters involved in said heist each posting their end of the heist in that thread. Either way, your characters will get the chance to put all their skills to use in what should be a super fun and badass way!



Each character that joins the Phantoms will choose a specialty. Whether the character already knows this ‘specialty’ upon joining or learns it during their time as a Phantom Thief is up to you as the RPer. Characters can gain more specialties as time goes on and their skillset broadens. I’d like to introduce some friendly competition though by keeping track of everyone’s specialties. Perhaps your character can become the best at what they do!

When picking one or multiple specialties, you are encouraged to be creative. A specialty can be something rather general, such as ‘intelligence’, or can be very specialised such as ‘sleep status effects’. It’s honestly up to you and I look forward to seeing what different characters choose to specialise in!

In the name of that friendly competition, you are also allowed to specialise in something that someone else already specialises in. The more the merrier as they always say. This way, when one character with a certain specialty is unavailable, another with the same or similar specialty might be available instead!



Although the first few heists that the Phantom Thieves embark on will be created by myself (@Solilo) whilst the IO grows, future ones can be suggested and created by you, the members of the Phantom Thieves! In fact, creating your own heists and the small preparatory tasks that go with them is encouraged. I would love for members of this IO to be able to utilise their ideas to create their own plotlines and stories that aren’t necessarily driven by myself.

Member created heists can come in the form of just a simple suggestion to myself, that you ask me to build upon, or you can opt to create your own heist entirely from scratch; storyline, target, preparatory tasks and all! Of course, when it comes to creating a fully-fledged heist, the details will need to be passed by myself or another staff member and rewards for any preparatory tasks will need to be agreed on so that they can be afforded by the IO budget.

In-Character, the creation of a heist by the RPer OOC can be explained as that RPer’s character bringing the target to the Phantoms’ attention, as well as aiding in the completion of the final heist plans. This will of course earn you in-character bonus points with Synd’r, the founder of the Phantom Thieves.

It is also worth noting that you may create heists that base around not only NPCs, but also characters of members of the site. When creating a heist that centres around another user’s character on the site, especially where an item or monetary amount would be stolen, express written permission will be needed from that user to confirm that they are okay with their character and assets being a target for the Phantom Thieves.

In the lack of an ongoing heist at any point, I will of course design another one so that activities are consistently available to members of the Phantoms and that they may gain rewards for completing such tasks.



With an organisation with the potential for contacts everywhere, the Phantom Thieves need a way to recognise each other at the blink of an eye. As such, everyone who joins the Phantoms is gifted with a red identification feather. This unassuming feather would look like a mere accessory to the uninformed but it also doubles as a useful tool, with the barb being modelled into a lock pick. This feather must be worn on the person of every Phantom Thief. It is what proves you are a Phantom Thief and allows other Phantom Thieves to know of your alignment to the organisation even if they may not have met you before.



All good thieves have a hideout after all! The Phantom Thieves’ hideout is located in a sub-board found with the Grassveil Town board. It is aptly named ‘Phantom’s Hideout’ and will be used as the base for all of the organisation’s operations.
All information regarding heists is kept in this board. You may also use it for in-character purposes, such as RPing members of the Phantom Thieves just hanging out at the hideout.



There are no formal entry requirements for joining the Phantom Thieves! I only request that your character have a reason for doing so, and that you suggest or discuss how your character found out about the Phantoms and how they met one of their members in order to join. This can be done prior to or during the signup process and is purely to keep everything in-character-canon per se.



In order to join the Phantom Thieves, you merely need to fill in the form below! Once it has been accepted and your character added to the members list, you may begin participating in all the activities associated with the Phantom Thieves!

Most of the signup form itself should be rather self-explanatory based on the other information in this thread. However, the ‘Other Notes’ section in the following form should be used to suggest or discuss the way in which your character would have found out about the Phantoms and/or met one of their members in order to join. It should also be used to explain why your character has or will have the specialties you have listed.


If you have any questions that are not covered in the FAQ in the following post, please PM myself (@Solilo) or catch me in the chatbox! ^-^

@Silver Pterra is accepted. (Although he is the first to be approved Alki will still be canonically the first member to join ^-^)

If it's alright with you, we can have the story be that Pterra and Synd'r met up by coincidence after the Phantoms were formed and already knowing that he was a thief, she gave him the opportunity of joining. :3

Also, not sure if Speaking in Tongues was just a fancy way of saying Riddles or whether you meant something else by that, so i've added Pterra with his specialty officially being just Riddles but if you want to explain Speaking in Tongues further I can add that later if you so wish. (My first thought if not just an alternate term for riddles was Languages but then I figured you could just say languages.. so xD)

Edit: Changed Pterra's specialty to Mind Games after a conversation with Silver so that it broadens the specialty a little ^-^

@Mada
Alki is accepted! Of course her meeting with Synd'r will take place in our thread so we don't need to worry about that. :D I also shortened her specialty to 'Charm & Distractions' for the members list c:

This all works fine for me, since you guys need my go ahead, you've got it :D.

Alrighty thankees Mada
@Yooka, Yooka is approved, but i've changed her specialty to 'Intelligence' and 'Black Market Expertise' as I mentioned in the PM as they're pretty much the same as what you're describing here just with different names. I may alter the 'Intelligence' specialty at a later date if I feel a different name is necessary though.

Please keep in mind with the appraisal part of black market expertise that you would still need to build contacts in order to build this specialty. Yooka's previous experience in merchentry would not cover everything that the Phantom Thieves would likely need appraising so you should build contacts to cover for that as I again mentioned in the PM.

Oh also side note I guess, Synd'r wouldn't order you to tell others of your affiliations with he guild or anything so she'll be the only one to know about them ^^ (And Alki of course)

Oh man sorry this is so late but @FoxFireAlchemist Cecil is accepted :D
Have added her specialties as Negotiation and Engineering ^^

No worries! Between the holidays and finals this point and time can be a real vice xD

Thank you! Mada and I will keep working out this thread with Alki and Cecil and I'll get you a summary of what happens and how the thieves may have come up between them ^^

@Scypho Leander is approved! Welcome to the thieves >:3


Also, guess I should finally get Vesper to join since I always think of her as a member when I discuss future plans but i've never formally signed her up;

» Character Name: Vesper
» Reason For Joining: She's a thief through and through. She enjoys the thrill of stealing and after meeting Alki and hearing about an organisation of thieves, there was no way Vesper wasn't going to join them!
» Specialties:
Tactician - Similar to Synd'r, Vesper is an intelligent individual who is pretty good with coming up to solutions to problems. She probably has a bit more of a reckless streak than Synd'r with her tactics, but Vesper is incredibly good at thinking on the fly as well as planning in advance, as shown by both her Peak Academy threads and her attempts to steal from NPC pokemon within threads.

Sleight of Hand - Or rose in this case I guess, since Vesper doesn't exactly have hands, haha. Vesper has always been a confident pokemon and this confidence lends itself well to being sneaky in plain sight. Quick and clever movements are what she uses to steal, enjoying taking something from under someone's nose before they've realised, or so swiftly and casually that they don't notice at all. This also lends itself well to pickpocketing, but Vesper's specialty isn't limited to that.

» Other Affiliations: She's a student at Peak Academy, taking Battling and Performing Arts classes.
» Other Notes: None that I can think of.
