Uprising Battle Network

When humans think of computers, we still think of the Web. We ask a navi to bring us the Web. But hidden away underneath, seen mainly by navis, the Grid is where all the action is. To navis, the Web is just the tip of the iceberg, and the Grid is a world of infinite possibilities.

Good possibilities and bad possibilities alike.

A limited form of destructive uploading exists. A pokesec — short for "pocket secretary", an evolution of mobile phones — can run the portions of the mind we can emulate. Emotions, empathy, and such come through clearly, but the details of memory are lost.

The legal system harshly discriminates against digital ghosts. But losing your property can be an existential concern when that property is the pokesec running your mind. Some people secure their existence after death by becoming a navi. They have a job for eternity, but they also have a living human who owns their hardware. Such a "ghost navi" needs a while to learn the Grid, at first seeing through human eyes that focus on the Web, but once they do learn, they're better at serving humans than a commercial navi will ever be.



In order to remain "dark" in an era of navis, the Dark Web has taken to its own Grid technologies — "the Nether Grid". (Theoretically atop the "Undernet", but the Nether Grid is able to spread to the regular Net these days.) While "nether navis" can't exist on the regular Grid, normal navis lack the functions needed to survive long on the Nether Grid. A few "flip navis" exist, and supposedly there are utilities to grant such functions if you know where to look, but both are niche — better to use a normal navi here and a nether navi there.



"Noise" is a new phenomenon on the Grid, which disrupts the work and lives of navis. Normal moves are less effective the more Noise there is. Using the techniques of the Harmonium to achieve Chaos Harmony with a move eliminates this penalty, and going further into Chaos Unison turns it into a bonus.

		Tests
	"The one who doesn’t risk, doesn’t drink champagne." — Russian proverb

	A test is rolled with some ability vs some Difficulty. A test with Difficulty of 5 or more can be calculated: .r [Ability]d(1.26^[Difficulty]). A test with a lesser Difficulty uses a boosted ability and a different die size, from this table. Either way, each 1 is a hit.
Difficulty	Test
16	.r [Ability]d40
15	.r [Ability]d32
14	.r [Ability]d25
13	.r [Ability]d20
12	.r [Ability]d16
11	.r [Ability]d13
10	.r [Ability]d10
9	.r [Ability]d8
8	.r [Ability]d6
7	.r [Ability]d5
6	.r [Ability]d4
5	.r [Ability]d3
4	.r [Ability × 2]d5
3	.r [Ability × 2]d4
2	.r [Ability × 2]d3
1	.r [Ability × 4]d5
0	.r [Ability × 4]d4
-1	.r [Ability × 4]d3
-2	.r [Ability × 4]d2
-3	.r [Ability × 5]d2
-4	.r [Ability × 6]d2
Etc.	Etc.

	Static Tests
	"Who goes on the chase loses their place." — French proverb

	Sometimes you want to play it safe, and take an average result, instead of risking failure in pursuit of excellence. Instead of rolling the test normally, roll 1D8/9 + [Ability]/1.26^[Difficulty], and round down. (This calculation works for all Difficulties.) You'll get a middling number of hits, maybe just above or just below average, nothing exciting.

			Navi Stats
		Attributes
	Canny: A combination of perception, will, practicality, and resourcefulness. For navis in particular, this is difficult to write in, and even commercial navis will often be trained before xoxing to develop their Canny. Ghost navis, on the other hand, tend to have plenty of Canny from decades of existence.
	Elegant: How closely you approximate the ideal of elegant code. For ghost navis, this partly depends on how much optimization they're comfortable having done.
	Precise: Your accuracy and ability to handle complex detail, especially indirectly in another part of the system.
	Smart: While any navi is "smart" by the standards of Marketing, there are degrees.
	Tough: A combination of core allocations and how closely you approximate the ideal of bulletproof code. This is thus both how good you are at throwing your weight around and how resistant you are to others doing it to you. For ghost navis, this partly depends on how much optimization they're comfortable having done.
	Memento: For ghosts only, how well you remember your past life as a human. It's rare for Memento to increase, but some ghosts hang on tight to it, while others let it slip away in favor of this life.

		Secondary Stats
	Max EP = Canny. A navi's current EP starts at their max EP, but EP loss doesn't affect the max.
	Max HP = Tough. A navi's current HP starts at their max HP, but HP loss doesn't affect the max.

	Unarmed Attack: The range of your unarmed attack is always Melee, but the damage calculation varies. Roll [Attack Hits × Tough] vs 7, and each hit on this test is a point of damage. (See Standard Attack under Core Navi Functions and Weapons under Navi Utilities for details on how attacks work.)



			Core Navi Functions
	Standard Attack
	As a double action, attack unarmed or with a weapon.
	• Attack Test: With a melee weapon, roll Elegant to hit; with a ranged weapon, roll Precise to hit. The base Difficulty is 3, but many modifiers can apply to attack tests. If you don't get any attack hits, then the attack is a clean miss, stop resolving it.
	• Active Defense: If the target has an active evade(see the Evasion function), and the attack is not AOE, then they can resist with that. Subtract the defense hits from the attack hits. If no attack hits remain, then the attack is dodged, stop resolving it.
	• Damage Calculation: Multiply the attack hits by the weapon's Damage/Hit to get the damage.
	• Passive Defense: Subtract the target's armor from the damage, and apply other defenses(like some navi chips). If no damage remains, then the attack is stopped by armor(or the like), stop resolving it.
	• Losing HP: Subtract the damage from the target's HP. If no HP remain, then the target shatters; unless they have some kind of shatter resistance(like from being a ghost), this is instant death.

	Hex Targeting
	Some attacks target a hex. To target a hex, make an attack test as normal. 3+ hits is on target, anything less scatters. To figure scatter, roll dice equal to the distance in hexes. The Difficulty is 10 with 2 attack hits, -3 per hit less, but other modifiers(like wound modifiers) don't apply because this isn't your roll. Offset the target by 1 hex per scatter hit in a random direction.
	Some such attacks affect everyone in the hex hit. Some affect the hex itself. Some have an AOE extending from there.

	Evasion
	You can evade as a single action. Your evade remains active until your next turn. While active, if you're attacked(except by an AOE), you can resist by rolling Elegant vs 3.

	Move
	As a single action, roll Elegant vs 3, and you can move that many hexes. This is normally a static test, but sometimes you'll want to really push yourself at the risk of tripping. Various gear actions will give you "a single move", which is this static test worth of hexes.



			Navi Utilities
		Weapons
	Range
	• Melee: Uses the navi's own touch range, usually 1 hex. This basic Melee range doesn't confer any vulnerabilities. This is a melee range.
	• Melee×[N]: Uses a multiple(the [N] number) of the navi's own touch range. A Red system confers +1 Difficulty per hex, regardless of touch range. This is a melee range.
	• Line×[N]: The weapon fires a projectile, which flies in a straight line at [N] hexes per turn, affecting everyone who shares a hex with it. Targets a hex, not a program. A Yellow system confers +1 Difficulty per hex, a Red system prevents the weapon from functioning. This is a ranged range.
	• Homing×[N]: The weapon fires a projectile, which homes in on the target, but only goes [N] hexes per turn. So a distant target may be hit several turns later. A miss is a failed lock-on. A Yellow system confers +1 Difficulty per hex, a Red system prevents the weapon from functioning. This is a ranged range.
	• Hitscan: The weapon promptly hits at range. A Green system confers +1 Difficulty per hex, a Yellow or Red system prevents the weapon from functioning. This is a ranged range.

He built a digital copy of himself named Clu, to create the perfect system. And he relied on the hero, Tron, to keep it free for all programs who lived there. But in his thirst for power, Clu betrayed his creator. Tron fought back, but Clu was too powerful and left him for dead. Clu dispatched his armies and seized absolute control. Now, in a far off corner of the Grid, a young program decides Clu must be stopped. His name is Beck. Could he be the next Tron?

Beck is a young program who becomes the skillful leader of a revolution inside the computer world of the Grid. His mission is to free his home and friends from the reign of the villainous Clu and his henchman General Tesler. Beck will be trained by Tron, the greatest warrior the Grid has ever known. Tron will not only teach Beck the fighting and light cycle skills he needs to challenge this brutal military occupation, but he will be a guide and mentor to him as he grows beyond his youthful, impulsive nature into a courageous, powerful, strong leader. Destined to become "the next Tron", Beck adopts Tron's persona and becomes the arch enemy of General Tesler and his oppressive forces.

Noise (ノイズ Noizu) is a new phenomenon on the Grid, strongly believed to be the result of new EM Wave Wizard technology. Many people seek to study noise in order to better understand it, including organizations like WAZA and people such as Legendary Master Shin. Noise is also sought after by the criminal organization known as Dealer in order to further their plans.
