Team Aurum's logo
Team Aurum is a villainous team searching for the legendary City of Gold.
Background
The finalized design for the male and female Aurum Grunts.
The Eronze Admin's finalized design.
Talah has decided to work with Northington and fund the expedition to discover the City of Gold. It is financed "under the table" and is not connected, on paper, to Talah's legitimate business. To carry this plan out, Talah recruits delinquents and thugs, promising them riches beyond compare, all hidden within the City. Talah, however, has no interest in expanding their wealth; whilst the underlings are mainly motivated by the chance of making vast amounts of money, Talah only wants the power within the City, which, unbeknownst to them, is Quetzar, whom Northington seeks to awaken.
The Admins
Talah commands three Admins that oversee the Team more closely. Each Admin eventually comes to be in control of a different Legendary Golem; because their names are not yet confirmed, they are temporarily being referred to by the Golem they use, e.g. "Eronze Admin", "Erion Admin", "Erace Admin". Each Admin will have a distinct personality and different motivations.
Eronze Admin
The Eronze Admin is a brute who lives for battle. She enjoys nothing more than fighting, going out of her way to get into scraps. What she lacks in brains, she makes up for in brawn. She does not have a long-term goal per se, but mostly just joined Team Aurum in order to fight and dominate others. The Eronze Admin regards most others as weak and will treat them with disrespect. However, she has a strange form of respect for trainers that can beat her, and relishes the chance to meet them again for a rematch. Loud, gruff and threatening, the Eronze Admin is a juggernaut of a threat and a true force to be reckoned with.
The Erion Admin's finalized design.
Erion Admin
The Erion Admin is a businessman who is just as cruel as he is greedy. He is ruthless, calculating and very exploitative, gladly sacrificing others for his own personal gain. Despite earning a lot of money, he still likes to get his hands dirty for it. He looks down upon "weak" people, living by the attitude of: "If you want it, take it. If you aren't strong enough to take it, tough." He mixes business buzzwords into his speech.
The Erace Admin's finalized design.
Erace Admin
The Erace Admin is a rather antisocial and detached scientist. They rarely speak, and are wholly dedicated to their scientific experiments of questionable ethical standing. Almost everyone (with the exception of Talah) finds the presence of the Erace Admin very uncomfortable. The Erace Admin, however, does not seem to notice the strange effect they have on people, concentrating on their research with an inhuman air of coldness to them. They seem to be intrigued by many things, inspecting them with an eerily childlike fascination.
Team Aurum's Plan
Team Aurum discovers, through Northington, that the only way to find the City of Gold is with the power of the Legendary Spirits. They devise a plan:
- They will use the Spirits' power by stealing their "cores". These cores can be used to power the ancient Golems Eronze, Erion, and Erace, who will obediently wield them and perform the Spirits' job of opening the city.
- Team Aurum must first find and obtain the Golems from across Urobos, as they went into a slumber long ago in various places across the region, like machines whose batteries finally ran out.
- Eronze is at Dronia museum, so the Eronze Admin is sent to the museum to steal it.
- Both Erion and Erace have already been acquired by the Team at the Aurum HQ in Vivace. Erion is being made ready for a transport by the Erion Admin, whereas the Erace Admin has taken Erace to repair and retrofit it in their laboratory.
- Once the Team has the Golems, their next task is getting the Spirit cores. The Spirits are very powerful, so Team Aurum must devise a way to weaken them sufficiently to be captured. The Spirits are also hard to find and very flighty, but Team Aurum come up with an idea.
- The Spirits naturally protect their environment, going out of their way to protect nature. So Team Aurum decides that causing disasters in nature is the best way to lure out the Spirits. Because the Spirits draw their power from nature, when it is harmed, they become weaker.
- Their plan is threefold (the order of these events is TBD and details are subject to change):
- Talah orders the Erion Admin to commandeer a rival company's oil rig, and cause it to spill into the ocean. This hurts Yacuma, and draws her out from her temple to the area.
- The Erace Admin assaults Machima's home, the desert cave where winds blow through the caverns and make sounds like instruments. They use heavy drilling equipment to bore a wide hole towards the supposed location of Machima's temple deep in the cave, fumes leaking from their machines all the way. This sound and air pollution weakens Machima, and forces her out of her temple into their hands.
- The Eronze Admin stages a forest fire in the Jungle to lure out Patama and weaken her.
- Once all the cores are obtained, Team Aurum will use their power through the Golems to reveal the City of Gold, and plunder it for its riches.
Trivia
- Team Aurum's name is the Latin word for gold.
- The logo is based on a compass (symbolizing their venture to find the City of Gold) with a golden letter A in it.
