Jasper

Jasper is a town in Amberstone. It is home to the Raging Blazes. It is also adjacent to the Jasper Mines.

Description

Jasper is a small town surrounded by cliffs. It is made up of three main levels. The upper and lower levels have grassy ground, while the middle level is made up of dirt. There are six buildings including the Beastieball Center, the Railhouse, the Traincar Diner, and the Clothes Shop. The eastern boundary of the town has an elevated set of railroad tracks leading north towards one of the Mine entrances. The town has exits to the north and south. The northern exit leads to the Jasper Mines while the southern exit leads to Rutile.

The town of Jasper was originally a mining town during a gold rush, leading to the construction of the Jasper Mines. Once the gold rush died out, the townspeople became more interested in hiking and Beastieball, and the mines became an abandoned Beastie habitat.

Jasper is home to many characters, such as Kaz and some minor characters.

Story

Jasper is one of the towns containing a Ranked Coach that the player should challenge and defeat to raise their rank. Jasper's head coach is Kaz of the Raging Blazes. Despite his show of bravado upon meeting, the people of Jasper do not actually attend his match when it is initially scheduled. Frustrated, Kaz sends the player out to convince bored citizens to watch their match.

The characters the player must convince are Kenta, Caroline, and Irma. Kenta can only be accessed via simple platforming but needs no further convincing. Caroline requires convincing through a series of questions and answers. Irma requires the player to defeat her in a two-point match. Although these three and the player's fan, Raymond, are the only ones seen in the lobby beforehand, all citizens of Jasper plus Luiz can be seen in the stands during the match.

Trivia

• Jasper is named after a mineral by the same name. It usually occurs in shades of red, yellow, brown, or green, and occasionally blue.
  • The neolithic usage of green jasper in the making of bow drills could be reason for the naming of the town, which was once primarily a mining town.
• Jasper is also a Persian given name, meaning "treasurer."
  • This name meaning could be related to the gold rush that the town was originally built upon.
