Pokemon, trained to be the best fighters of all and evolved so that they are truly terrors in battle. Those same Pokemon, held in specialized sleep-chambers to ensure that the next Champion would have the honour of having them as his team. Around them, the world collapses, as ambitious humans squabble. Some influential people want the world for themselves, and don't wish to share with restless trainers. The Pokemon League is forgotten, the Elite Four in disgrace, and no Champions come forth. Mechanical weapons are created, and destruction reigns as trainers and Pokemon are hunted down by those who'd rather live without a reminder that so much money goes into supporting trainers who give nothing in return. Until, at last, the turmoil ceases, leaving the regions relying on Pokemon for simpler tasks: rebuilding the gyms and cities that were in the conflict, hunting for food, and finding suitable places to expand settlements. A chance dig near Union Cave in the Johto region reveals a strange set of rooms. Curiosity is what drives the ones doing the dig to discover the sleeping Pokemon, but most of the world wouldn't be too thrilled to have them awakened.

Okay, so there are three 'sides' so to speak. The sleeping Pokemon (which obviously have to be Pokemon), the members of the dig (human or Pokemon) and the remnants (humans, and are against the idea of Pokemon and humans working together). Sound simple? There will be fights, which will be in ASB-style, and Pokemon and humans can communicate, to make things easier. To make this even more crazy, if you want legendaries or specific characters to suddenly make an appearance, PM me. :P The RP will start when we have around two members on each 'side', though people will still be able to join. Also, relationships have to be approved by the people involved.

Rules:
1. No netspeak, and type out your words. Capitalization and punctuation are your friends.
2. No real post minimum, but one-liners are often quite dull. Try to make it two, if you can. :P
3. No powerplaying or mindreading.
4. Have fun! *shot*

Application:
Name:
Gender:
Species: (If Pokemon, put which one)
Age: (Human years)
Description: (Try to avoid 'a normal <___> if you can)
Personality: (Two lines at the least, please.)
Bio: (Can either be in-depth, or, if you must be lazy, just state if they're part of the dig, a sleeper or part of the remnants)

My character:

Name: Skaldia
Gender: Female
Species: Aerodactyl
Age: 18 when put into the sleep chambers
Description: With thick, rock-hard hide and long, narrow wings, Skaldia is built for speed and agility. The spike on the back of her skull is elongated, with a slight curve, and her claws are long enough to let her awkwardly pick things up. Her talons are also long, but obviously meant for fighting rather than dexterity. Her tail is thick, so it can act as a rudder, but gradually tapers to the arrowhead at its tip, and is long enough to be used as a mix of a club and a whip.
Personality: Skaldia is focused, harsh and demanding. She likes to be respected by everyone else, and hates being pampered. She tends to try and dominate the conversation, and often shows off just how dangerous she truly can be. She isn't very diplomatic, and will get impatient if she's not doing anything important. She is a good leader, but tends to focus on herself instead of a whole group.
Bio: Skaldia was caught and trained by Lance when she was only three years old, and was completely devoted to him until she was chosen as one of the Pokemon to be put in the sleep-chambers for the ultimate Champion. She abandoned Lance eagerly for this honour, and ended up with quite a few others in the chambers, sleeping peacefully until they were opened up once more.
 
Can I be an Aerodactyl too? :D

Name: Sunaero
Gender: Female
Species: Aerodactyl
Age: 22 before exctinction, 7 before put into chamber (29 total)
Description: Her "fingers" are more like claws, and the spikes on her head and back are longer. Also, half of the arrowhead on her tail was torn off in a fight.
Personality: Sunaero is rather rash and hasty, not really thinking before she acts. With a short temper, she's usually the one to charge first, often getting her into trouble. In battle, she fights ferociously, sometimes to the point where she doesn't think twice about killing someone. But that's only when she's really angry. She only wants freedom, so she is often seen flying high in the sky where no one can reprimand her. She's very careful and hates making mistakes. Sunaero is also rather arrogant sometimes, and enjoys arguing with others.
Bio: She doesn't remember anything at all that happened before exctinction, but she is clinging onto memories of the time before she was put into the chamber. Her trainer was a friendly one, and he collected the fossil Pokemon. He was fun to be around but didn't have much of an education about anything other than Pokemon. He took care of Sunaero well but didn't know much about everyday school subjects such as science and history.
 
Name: Qua the Second (or just Qua)
Gender: Male
Species: Relicanth
Age: 20
Description: Qua II has a rather stocky build, which is the epitome among his species. Where there would normally be tan on his body, it is a bleached white like bone. The red spots behind his head are an aqua blue instead of red.
Personality: Qua II is rather laid-back and calm. He relies on logic to solve problesm, and dislikes it when others argue. He knows how to make his words slightly more convincing than usual but it doesn't always work. Qua II can be rather irresponsible at times and can't make decisions very well, so he likes to stay in a group who can help him. He can be hostile against strangers that seem to be bad people or Pokemon, but doesn't attack them without a good reason.
Bio: Qua the Second was the son of Ruma, a male Lumineon and Hendge, a Relicanth. He is the cousing of Qua the First, a male Tyranitar. He was trained by a female Trainer, like Qua the First, but ironically it was Qua I's Trainer's daughter. Somehow Qua's family appears to be destined and bonded with another family of Trainers, but Qua II hasn't figured anything like this out yet.

Yes, go ahead, Darksong. And Cryptica, I think so... I await your completed post. :P Once you've figured it out, of course.
 
kekeke I remember this~


Name: Senka
Gender: F
Species: Banette
Age: 19 when put to sleep

Description: Senka is a large specimen of her species, standing at just over four feet. She is plushy to the touch, like a stuffed toy, and her skin is velvety. The zipper she has for a mouth gleams as if under a dull light at all times, and her red eyes glow brightly. Her claws are very sharp and make deadly weapons.

Personality: A tad of a loony bird, Senka delights in scaring the ever loving crap out of anyone she can find. She has a tendency to just sit in a dark place and sing in an eerie, high voice. If she gets to know someone beyond a 'person to scare silly' then she can be quite a joker, cracking off-colour jokes and pulling pranks on unsuspecting passers-by. In battle she seems to channel a different spirit altogether, attacking without mercy and putting curses on anything marked 'foe' in the area.

Bio: Senka never really took a liking to any human, seeing them as lesser beings. The only human that she cared about was a frail young girl she met one day in a meadow. She bonded with the little girl, following her around night and day, pretending to be a stuffed animal when her parents were around. Then, one day, the little girl's illness got the better of her and she died. Senka was bitter for months afterwards, and was captured by another human and made strong. But she didn't love this human the way she had the girl. Her trainer gave her up quite willingly when she was chosen to be sealed, as she had kept tormenting him.

Figured out! Instead of being Qua I's son (since Relicanth and Tyranitar aren't in the same breeding group), he will be Qua I's cousin.

Form finished.
 
Name: Verity
Gender: Female
Species: Vaporeon
Age: 12 when put into sleep chambers, 14 when released
Description: Verity's fins on her tail are deformed; they are far bigger than usual, and are positioned sideways, so to swim she has to swing her tail from side to side like a shark.
Personality: Verity can be quite vain, and cares a lot about her appearance. She spends hours on end washing herself and posing, using puddles or lakes as mirrors. She seems a bit disappointed at her deformity and wishes she was normal, although she has learned that if she positions herself in certain ways her odd fins seem bigger but in the correct place.
Despite her vanity, she cares a lot about others. She hates seeing others sad, and is concerned about how others feel. This even gets to the point where some call her 'nosy'; once she gets to know someone, she can't stand not knowing what they're doing.
Bio: Verity was originally bred to fight for the League Champion. She was bred to learn attacks like Charm, Endure, and Yawn, and taught moves like Aqua Tail, Surf, Shadow Ball, Ice Beam, Rest, Attract, Captivate, and Sleep Talk. The original scientists were captivated by her and put her in a sleep chamber, however, once they had moved on the replacement scientists deemed her imperfect because of her deformity and released her.
Even though she never really got to know any of the other sleepers, Verity was still troubled by how they were doing, and eventually after living in the Lake of Rage, heard about the dig and joined immediately, seeing her chance to find out what had happened.
 
Name: Mark
Gender: Male
Species: Dusknoir
Age: N/A

Description: Mark is a dark, dark blue. The parts of him that would normally be bright yellow are an eerie glowing blue, reminescent of a Will-O'-Wisp attack. His antenna his round instead of flat and is longer than normal and his tail is thinner and longer than would be expected.

Personality: Quiet and distant normally, he nonetheless comes out of his shell around his few friends. Mark often sings to himself, and hates being questioned too much, which usually causes him to dissapear mysteriously and not reappear for hours on end.

Bio: Mark was caught by Agatha, Kanto's Ghost-type specialist and member of the Indigo Elite Four. Mark was afflicted by a strange disease, but rather than hurting him it seemed to make him stronger. After a few years, Mark was taken from his master and shoved into a chamber, after being doused by some chemical that both put him to sleep and prevented him from phasing through objects.

Yes! It's back with a vengeance!

Name: Zrantox
Gender: Male
Species: Dusknoir
Age: 4500
Description: His body is somewhat roundish and ends in a genie-like tail. He has two thick arms with odd markings scattered across his body. His head is almost hood-like, with a small slit where his one eye ominously peers out of. Normally the body is grey and the markings are yellow, butwith him, the usual stormcloud grey, there is now black. The eys on his chest and back are crimson, and the mouth on his chest moves on its own
Personality: Zrantox holds a deep, deep hatred for the humans, seeing as they have wronged him. He is absolutuley ruthless when it comes to dealing with humans, and has more than once rebelled against his trainer. He isn't always going on rampages though; he is very cold and calculating, and will make plans to help him in his campaign for vengenace.
Bio: Before any humans captured Pokemon, Zrantox and several other Dusknoir were chosen to guide the dead to the spirit world, human and pokemon alike.When humans began to capture pokemon, one by one, his fellow Dusknoir were captured. He himself was captured some time after by a human, and was put into the sleep chamber. It is because of this, the capture of his comrads and himself, that he holds a grudge against the human

Name: Moonlight
Gender: Gender
Species: Umbreon
Age: 11 when put to sleep
Description: Moonlight is shiny, with lavender eyes.
Personality: She is very... Hyper. She is calm when needed. Grumpy after just woken, but give her breakfast and she is immediately back to her regular personality.
Bio: I Am Laze, So She Iz A Sleepr.
 
Alright, everyone accepted. Wow, you guys just jumped at it, didn't you? XD So, by my count we have 7 sleepers, one person on the dig and a grand total of no releasers. Yay. We need one more dig-member and at least two releasers...
 
I'm going to make a quick edit at my character's personality, if that's okay with you. I didn't like how it kinda contrasted his behavoir last time.
 
I'm going to be lazy. =P

Name: Sinar
Gender: Genderless, came to be referred as male by others over time.
Species: Solrock
Age: 1600
Description: An orange and yellow sun-shaped rock, with a mostly orange body and yellow 'rays', and eyes that are horizontal slits with a red glow from within. There is a cleanse tag on it's back.
Personality: Stoic, communicating mentally, though not terribly often. Sinar has worked to unearth the sleepers and as such protects them from any remnants, for it is sure that their power will be needed by the world some day to save it from something. It tends to brush off anyone it doesn't feel the need to associate with. It is merciless in battle, eliminating enemies with no remorse or anything of the sort.
Bio: After falling from the sky in a meteorite and landing deep within the bowels of Union Cave, Sinar lived within it's little crater, but, as it's location partly collapsed and blocked sunlight, it moved closer to the entrance, where humans would stumble upon it floating quietly outside. Sinar became something of a local legend, with humans and Pokemon of the area speculating on it's purpose, noting it's rousing at sunrise and retreat at sunset and during rainy days, as it hates stormclouds. While it ignored the burial of the sleep chambers, it did notice the power emanating from the burial site during the great turmoil, which got it thinking about how another conflict like that would end the world as it knew it, but the powers that lay inside would stop it. Or at least slow it. It thus 'joined' the dig team, though Sinar could get little digging accomplished, when they found the chambers.
 
Name: Lumonous
Gender: Male
Species: Lunatone
Age: 15
Description: A yellow stone carved into the shape of a crescent moon. Lumonous has two blue eyes carved into his sides. Wrapped around his neck is a blue bandana, given to him by his trainer.
Personality: Lumonous is a joking Pokémon. He's quite loud and spends most of his time with the other members of the dig, digging around and excavating. Although playful, he knows when to be serious and can almost always be there to help.
Bio: Lumonous was raised in the wilds of Hoenn, deep in the boundries of Metor Falls, always from human eyes. Five years ago, a group of trainers came to his home seeking to capture Bagon. Their fighting destroyed the cave where he lived, causing his family to become a nomadic group. Eventualy they ended up in Johto, at the ruins where they stayed for a few weeks. When the others were ready to leave, Lumonous decided to stay in order to hunt for any other Pokémon that may have lived in the caves. It was soon after that he found the humans and teamed up with them to become a digger.
 
wtf I miss evertythiiiing ;_;

Name: Storm
Gender: Feeemale~
Species: Salamence
Age: 16 when put in the chambers.
Description: Completely black, with feathered wings. Otherwise, Storm is a dragon looking Pokemon, with wings and a crested head. She has remnants of a shell on her chest(or that's how I see it or something).
Personality: Storm is rather impulsive, and reckless. This usually leads to her making.. bad decisions, and regretting them later. She likes to fly, and is in the sky whenever she can be.
Bio: A sleeper. When she was put in the chambers, she didn't exactly feel angry, but didn't want to miss the time in the air.
 
Name: Halan Storm
Gender: Male
Species: Lucario
Age: 10 when put to sleep

Description: His eyes are a pale tundra blue, the fur on the back of his head shaggy and long tied in a small pony. In his left ear is a gold earring given to him by his trainer. He also wears a necklace made up of three stones. He is rather tall compared to a normal Lucario and he's proud of this fact. He also has a higher control of Aura than most Lucarios from great lengths in his training. He may surprise you with one of his abilities.

Personality: He is quiet around people he doesn't know, a tad anti-social. But once he warms up to you, he will share with you his views and theories of the world. He can be quite the softie, but the role he slips into most when in a group is Father-like character. Some have called him suave.

Bio: From years of training his aura abilities, fighting skills, and other skill needed in the human world, he was chosen to be one of the pokemon to get sealed away for a champion. Him and his trainer at first refused the offer, not wanting to be apart from each other. But after a unfortunate "accident" convinced the Trainer to give him up for the future. Heartbroken, he was sealed away, his mind filled with worry for his trainer's condition. Even now, he dreams of the time they've spent together. He's not going to be happy to find her dead when he wakes...but there is a surprise he'll be faced with when he searches for his trainer. He also took his Trainer's last name as a reminder of them.

((Hope you don't mind. The surprise is the Trainer's Grand-Daughter))
