History

Founded by a group of visionary entrepreneurs, PICKED_NAME was established to provide a reliable and trustworthy financial institution for the people of Fondent region. The bank's founders, all passionate Tuxemon trainers and breeders, recognized the need for a bank that understood the unique needs of the Fondent community. In the early years, PICKED_NAME focused on serving the local community, providing loans and financial services to Tuxemon trainers, breeders, and small business owners. The bank's commitment to personalized service and community involvement earned it a reputation as a trusted and reliable partner. As Fondent region grew and prospered, PICKED_NAME expanded its services to meet the evolving needs of its customers. The bank introduced innovative products and services, such as Tuxemon-themed savings accounts and loans specifically designed for Tuxemon training and breeding.

The Rise of the Cathedral and the Need for Independence

In the last 4 decades, the Cathedral, a powerful and influential conglomerate, began to expand its reach into Fondent region. The Cathedral's subsidiaries, including Greenwash, Scoop, Nimrod, Shaft, and Omnichannel, started to dominate various industries, from genetic engineering to media and publishing. PICKED_NAME's founders and management recognized the potential risks of the Cathedral's growing influence and decided to maintain the bank's independence. They believed that a locally owned and operated bank was essential to preserving the unique character of Fondent region and serving the needs of its citizens.

Challenges and Opportunities

Over the years, PICKED_NAME has faced challenges from the Cathedral's subsidiaries, which have attempted to acquire or partner with the bank. However, the bank's commitment to independence and its focus on serving the local community have allowed it to maintain its autonomy. Today, PICKED_NAME is a thriving institution, proud of its heritage and commitment to the people of Fondent region. The bank remains a beacon of independence, providing a trusted and reliable financial partner for the community.

Characters

Enforcer Bob, ex employee (laid off):

• I used to think I was doing the right thing, working in risk management at PICKED_NAME. But the more I dug, the more I realized that something was off. The transactions, the accounting practices... it all seemed too good to be true. And then I started to notice that people were watching me, waiting for me to make a mistake. I knew I had to get out before it was too late. But I'm telling you, something is very wrong at that bank. They're hiding something big, and I'm not sure what it is.

Enforcer May, Wealth Manager:

• You think you're a high roller, huh? Well, let's see if you have what it takes to manage a fortune. I've got a portfolio that's worth millions, and I'm not afraid to use it. But if you can take me down, I might just have to reconsider my investment strategy.
• monsters to be decided
• I didn't think you had it in you. I guess I'll have to find a new way to manage my clients' wealth. You're not the first person to beat me, but you're definitely the most... interesting.

Enforcer Brock, Security Guard:

• I've been watching you, and I don't like what I see. You're poking around in places you shouldn't be, asking questions you shouldn't be asking. I think it's time we had a little chat. And by chat, I mean battle.
• monsters to be decided
• You're a lot more trouble than I thought you'd be. I'll have to make sure to tighten up security around here. Can't have people like you running around, causing trouble.

Enforcer Daisy, Branch Manager:

• I've heard rumors about your battling skills, but I'm not impressed. I've seen it all before. But hey, if you want to prove yourself, I'm game. Let's see what you're working with.
• monsters to be decided
• Hmm, I'm impressed. You're not as easy to take down as I thought you'd be. I might have to rethink my strategy... and my opinion of you.

Bank 1st Floor

Characters

Enforcer Jeff, Cleaner:

• I've been working as a cleaner at PICKED_NAME for years, but lately, I've noticed some weird things. Some employees don't leave their tables without papers, and I'm obliged to throw everything away. It's like they're trying to hide something. I've found documents with encrypted messages and cryptic notes. I think the bank is trying to hide something, but I don't know what it is. It's like they're trying to cover their tracks. I don't know what's going on, but I do know that I'm not supposed to talk about it. Please, be careful, okay?

Rubbish bin:

• As you dig through the trash, you come across a crumpled up document that catches your eye. It's a payment receipt from PICKED_NAME to a shipping company called "PICK_SHIPPING_COMPANY", with a hefty sum of money listed as the payment amount. The description reads "Lumber shipment from Archipelago to Fondent Region - Confidential". Next to it, you find another document with a payment receipt from PICKED_NAME to a construction company called "PICK_CONSTRUCTION_COMPANY". This receipt is for an even larger sum of money, and the description reads "Prototype construction at Fondent Region facility - Project Eclipse".
• You also find a torn up piece of paper with some hastily scribbled notes that seem to be a reminder or a to-do list. The notes read: "Meet J at powerplant - 3pm. Discuss energy output and wood shipments. Prototype status update. Must keep quiet - eyes and ears everywhere.

Enforcer Raj, Customer:

• I'm just trying to deposit my paycheck, but I've been hearing rumors about the bank's involvement in some shady dealings. Can you tell me what's going on?
• monsters to be decided
• Never mind, I'll just take my business elsewhere. I don't want to be a part of anything that could get me in trouble.

Enforcer Lile, Financial Analyst:

• I've been studying the market trends, and I think I've found a pattern that could give us an edge in the upcoming merger. But I need someone to test my theory against. Are you up for the challenge?
• monsters to be decided
• Hmm, it looks like my analysis was flawed. I'll need to go back to the drawing board and refine my approach before the merger goes through.

Enforcer Kai, Auditor:

• I've been going over the bank's records, and I think I've found some discrepancies that need to be explained. Can you help me get to the bottom of this before the regulators come knocking?
• monsters to be decided
• I'll need to dig deeper to get to the truth. This isn't over yet, and I won't rest until I've uncovered the truth about the bank's dealings.

Bank 2nd Floor

Characters

Enforcer Luna, Model:

• I'm so fed up with PICKED_NAME's empty promises. They promised me a tuxemon as a gift for modeling for their ads, but it's been months and I still haven't seen it. I'm starting to think they're just using me for their own gain.
• You know, I've heard rumors that PICKED_NAME is involved in some shady dealings. I'm not sure what's going on, but I don't want to be a part of it. Can you help me get out of this mess?

Enforcer Ethan, Tax Advisor:

• I've been noticing some discrepancies in the bank's financial records. It looks like they're hiding something, but I'm not sure what. Can you help me uncover the truth?
• monsters to be decided
• Ah, I see you're a clever one. But I'm not just a tax advisor, I'm also a watchdog. And I won't let anyone get away with cooking the books.

Enforcer Ava, Compliance Officer:

• I've been monitoring the bank's activities, and I think I've found some evidence of wrongdoing. But I need someone to help me take it to the next level. Are you with me?
• monsters to be decided
• You're not as slick as you think you are. I've been watching you, and I know you're involved in something shady. It's only a matter of time before I catch you.

Enforcer Lucas, Money Launderer:

• I can offer you a deal that will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams. But you have to be willing to take a risk and look the other way. Are you in?
• monsters to be decided
• Fine, you're not interested. But let me tell you, you're missing out on a opportunity of a lifetime. And I'll make sure that you regret it.

CEO Aurora, CEO:

• You're just a tiny speed bump on the road to my success. I've built a financial empire that spans the entire region, and I won't let anyone - not even you - get in the way of my plans.
• monsters to be decided
• Fine, you've won this small battle... but the war is far from over. You'll never uncover the truth about the wood shipments to Fondent, but I'll give you a hint: it's not just about lumber. It's about the future of this region, and the power that comes with it. And as for the powerplant... let's just say that the energy output is just the tip of the iceberg. There are forces at play here that you can't even begin to imagine. And as for the mountains... I've received reports of strange occurrences, of experiments gone wrong. But I'm sure it's all just rumors. You may have beaten me, but you'll never take down the entire operation. There are those who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe, and I'm just a small part of it.
