[Closed, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

She couldn't do this. That's what the pink cat-like goddess realized as she sat bleeding and in pain from her battle. She had made it back to the Tree but she had still failed in her mission. She couldn't kill her older brother. She couldn't kill Arceus.

She had failed everything, human and Pokémon alike. She couldn't talk sense into him, she couldn't even beat him. When it boiled down to it she was still the weak little sister. But she had to stop him, she had to...

She cried for all the lives she just doomed. All of the humans that she had worked so hard to save... And any Pokémon they owned too. Humans and Pokémon... Such a bond they had managed to form despite the language barrier. Two species, so alike, yet so different.

That's when it hit her. The great idea. With most of her side weak or sleeping she could do something Arceus could never. She could made them, humans and Pokémon, stronger, bring them even closer.

She just hoped that Arceus wouldn't find out and break them.

Beware the white-hair, young ones.
____________________________________________________

You are a human or Pokémon. After a strange dream you have traveled to a tree that seems to be mad out of stone. Once inside you were attacked by orange blobs until Mew, the legendary Pokémon save you. She told you that Arceus was after humans and Pokémon alike. That she was too weak to stop him. But she offers you a chance to help. She'll give you weapons and new abilities. But on one condition. You must release your Pokémon or leave your pack. She warns you that Arceus is crafty. But she trusts that you are strong enough.
___________________________________________________
Rules:
1. This is an AU of the anime-verse. However, please use an OC not a AU version of an existing character. Satoshi et al are just blissfully unaware, mkay?
2. If you die once or twice Mew can bring you back, but she can't do this forever and is still recovering. Don't push it.
3. No godmodding
4. While you are in this RP, my word is god. Yes, I want you to have fun and be creative but don't argue with me when I am trying to enforce the rules.
5. You can play as either a human or a wild Pokémon
6. This is a literate RP, absolutely no eceptions.
7. I expect that you will follow the rules: tCoD's as well as mine.
8. Please use character development. The personalty you chose is a guide, not a straitjacket.
IX. Illic est haud novem.
10. Pokémon (for once) have the ability to understand humans and humans (for once) have the ability to understand Pokémon. But only within the group. The Legendaries communicate via telepathy.
11. If you can name the band that wrote the song that is the title, you get a cookie. I'll give you a hint: fugo vehiculum.

Name: Kuuken
Gender: Female
Age: Doesn't know, but looks about 14 or so.

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Reserve me please; I have a character in development but not quite ready yet.

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Sounds interesting~

Name: Storm
Gender: Female
Age: 30 winters
Human or Pokémon? Pogeymanz.
Which one? Salamence
What moves? Dragon Claw, Aerial Ace, Flamethrower, Dragon Pulse
Appearance:
New abilities: Shapeshifting
Weapon of choice: Claws. Teeth. Fire.

Personality: Very mistrustful of other humans, and has a rabid hate of Rapidashes. She is rather logical, and will do things that go against her instincts if they make sense. Storm tries not to show her emotions.

Bio: At one time, Storm was a Bagon caught by a Trainer, for his daughter's starter. She grew with the kid, eventually evolving and becoming a Salamence. Until she carelessly stepped onto the street and was run over by a person riding a Rapidash. All her Pokemon, including Storm, were released, and Storm found her way back to Meteor Falls, where she found a group of Salamence, and joined them.

And that's when the dreams started. Storm woke up near a weird stone tree, and was attacked by some orange blob things. She got the power to shapeshift into anything she saw after that.

Reserving Zora and Dragon. I will accept you, Dragon whenever you can finish everything. =)

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Name: Chris Hawley
Gender: Female (Duh)
Age: 16
Human or Pokémon?: Human
Appearance: Chris has short, bright red hair always in pigtails. She has gray eyes and very pale skin, and wears braces. She really doesn't care much about appearances, so she generally wears whatever is on the top of the pile of clothes in her room; usually an old ratty tee shirt and sweatpants or jeans. She constantly has a small purse over her shoulder, full of candy, her pokedex, and several other assorted objects, including rocks.
New abilities: levitation/flight
Weapon of choice: Two bladed tonfa (Check wikipedia. xD)
Personality: Chris seems to always be the tough one in the group; proud and willing to fight over anything for any particular reason. She doesn't really make friends easily, and usually doesn't. There are people she respects and watches them from a distance, but never really speaks to. Still, it is these people that she will try to defend from anything no matter what, be it other people and bullies, or attacking Pokemon.
Bio: Chris grew up on a small Pokemon ranch, raising a few Miltank for obvious reasons, and many Eevees, usually to sell to trainers for a lot of money. She was reasonably happy with her life; she had her beloved Pokemon, a boyfriend, good grades.. but it was rather boring for her, with few changes. So, when she had a mysterious dream telling her to go to the tree, she left immediately, looking for adventure. Needless to say, her parents are panicking, but she doesn't know and doesn't care.. yet.
Other: Snow Patrol?

Riight. *skepticism*

All in good faith.

I'm going to post a complete character as soon as I can think of a cool power. =3

How many moves can Pokemon have?

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Whoot, finally an fresh new RP~

Reserving. Will probably post tomorrow or sometime similar.

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

You spelled "reserved" wrong. ;D

Name: Jade Olvirrson

Gender: Female

Age: Well she WAS 18. Now it's not going to matter so much. >>

Human or Pokémon? Sort of a half-human half-ghost hybrid thing. You'll see why when I get to the new abilities and the Bio.

Appearance: Ghost: Pale skin, ghastly greenish-white hair and blank white eyes, and covered in what look like green tattoos. Tattered white dress and no shoes.
Human: Green, curled hair and brown eyes. She wears the same white dress, only not tattered, and still has no shoes on. She's also got a bit more color to her.

New abilities: Because she isn't a full ghost, her new powers are limited. She can still float when she hasn't taken human guise, and she can still turn invisible at will, but only for a certain amount of time. She also can go through certain walls, but this is also limited – She can't go through steel or concrete (sans brick, but that isn't really concrete, is it?). She is also, still entirely tangible and killable (only by weapon).

Weapon of choice: A small concealed pistol, although she prefers defensive strategy to actually shooting anyone. She also carries a bag of bullets.

Personality: Depressing, yet kind and caring. She mourns her "death" (she isn't really dead!) constantly, but she'd gladly take a bullet for someone she knows well.

Bio: Jade had just moved out on her own and gotten her own apartment. She had a boyfriend, parents that cared, several pets and a pretty good job for someone who was just starting college. Then she had the dream telling her to go to the tree, and after telling them and going... after being attacked by big red blobs...

She found herself transparent, ghastly white and floating. Clearly this caused quite a bit of mental trauma, and she obviously hasn't gotten over it at all when this RP begins.

Other: Am I doin' it rite?
Also oh dear literate RP... I certainly hope I can do this. ><

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Name: Gardean Noira

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Human or Pokémon? Pokémon

(If Pokémon) Which one? Gardevoir

(If Pokémon) What moves? Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast

Appearance: The only thing that stands out on Gardean is that he have several spiked collars around his left arm.

New abilities: THE POWER OF HENTAI Skull Shield, Gardean can cause a psychic shield that looks like a skull coming out of the ground to appear, covering everything in a five feet around him. The shield is close to indestructible, but Gardean can't move while using it and one attack from the inside. On the other hand, the shield itself can attack by opening it's mouth and firing various attacks from there, but all them take time to charge and since the shield opens, the user is completely vulnerable.

Weapon of choice: psychic abilities and such.

Personality: Gardean is proud of himself,and is therefore very easy to insult, especially if it's about the fact he looks very girly. He's a friend worth having, and is nice in most cases, but his fierce temper has caused him to not have that many friends.

Bio: Gardean grew up together with his parents, twin sister and a lot of other Pokémon on a Pokémon Ranch owned by a Pokémon breeder/trainer named Lucas Barrios, a young man escaping his life as an administrator in an criminal organization and finding his twin brother. Since Gardean and his sister looked exactly alike for most of the time, Lucas gave him a spiked collar to tell between them. Lucas wasn't able to get his hands on a Dawn Stone before Gardean evolved into a Gardevoir, but since Gardean doesn't even know about the very existence of Gallade he couldn't care less.

Other: I can't wait until Gardean meets a Gallade, his poor heart would break in two and it would be hilarious to write.

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Finishing this later, because people are coming over to pester me. XD

Name: Faelynn
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Human or Pokémon? Pokemon
(If Pokémon) Which one? Froslass
(If Pokémon) What moves? Ice Beam, Hail, Shadow Ball, Confuse Ray
Appearance: The only thing odd is that, where there are usually rounded stubs of ice on her head, there are sharpened spikes.
New abilities: Frozen Spirits - Faelynn creates a string of icy beads that she can whip at opponents. It has a reach of about twenty feet and has a chance of freezing the target when it hits. If she concentrates for about half a minute, the beads can, instead of being used offensively, circle around her. At this time, they are imbued with Ghost energy, and inflict confusion on anyone that goes within three feet of the circle.
Weapon of choice: Ice, ghostly abilities.
Personality: Befitting an Ice-type, Fae is rather aloof. Not completely cold, because other people are just too interesting for her to isolate herself completely, but she takes an observer's stance, not involving herself unless something threatens her personally. This way of acting comes off as completely selfish, and indeed, she is selfish, caring far more about her own health than of those around her. If she gains the upper hand in a battle, she will toy with her victims. Battles make her malicious and fickle - she's out for her own survival, and no one else's. Any alliances she makes will be solely for her benefit.
Bio: Faelynn had a somewhat quiet life. When she was still a Snorunt, she spent some time with a trainer, but eventually was released when the other decided to become a gym trainer. After that, she wandered, capricious and willing to attack and taunt anything that came near. There was one memorable time when she called down a hailstorm that badly injured a human, just for the fun of it. Eventually, she made her way to Kanto, and lurked near Mount Moon.
Other: Yes, it's a new character concept. Imagine that! And a horrible bio, but I felt the need to keep from adding any angst whatsoever into the mix. >>

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Okay, everyone in/reserved.

Yes, it is Snow Patrol.

link: Any of the natural level-up move-set of the Pokémon, sense this is branched off of anime-verse.

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Can I... stretch that and explain it under new abilities?

Name: Lev
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Human or Pokemon? Pokemon
Which one? Eevee
Which moves? Quick Attack, Bite, Take Down, Water Gun, Thundershock, Ember, Confusion, Pursuit, Razor Leaf, Icy Wind
Appearance: See avatar.
New Abilities: He can use a move from each Eevolution.
Weapon of Choice: Eevolution powers, physical strikes
Personality: Lev is a kind and light-hearted sort of person, it's quite difficult to put a damper on his spirits. He has a naive streak and likes making friends.
Bio: Lev was born on a Pokemon ranch, with a bunch of other Eevees, a few Miltank, and of course, the humans running the place. It was actually quite a nice life, with everything taken care of, even if a few of the other Eevees dissapeared every so often. However, he felt rather compelled to run off after having that odd dream, or maybe it was because he didn't want to dissapear. After the girl (Chris) ran off, he used the confusion that ensued to escape the ranch in search of the stone tree.
Other: See Bio.

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Sure! ^^

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

link: Can't see why not. It seems like a fairly reasonable ability for an Eevee.

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Done with that.

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Ah what the hell

Name: Razor
Gender: Male
Age: Physically, he has just recently reached adulthood.
Human or Pokémon? Pokemon
Species: Scyther
Moveset: Slash, False Swipe, Swords Dance, X-Scissor
Appearance: The bright green exoskeleton of the scyther is faded to a darker shade. Razor's wings are slightly tattered at the edges although they can still keep him aloft. His eyes constantly burn with the lust for violence, although one who got close enough to see this would more often than not be wondering why their intestines are several feet away from their body. Minute scrapes and scars line his body, and his eternally sharp claws have a slight red stain along their cutting edges that has never been fully cleaned.

Razor carries himself always in a way that he is ready to strike out at any threat, and is constantly on alert for hidden enemies and targets.

New abilities: By stopping to collect his thoughts and to focus, Razor can zero in on an enemy's most vulnurable area, seeing nothing at all but it. While in this frame of mind, time seems to slow down around him, allowing him to strike harder and more swiftly. Against multiple enemies this is completly useless, as he can only zero in on one target at a time and he is not made invinciable.

Weapon of choice: Razor relies exclusively on his blades in combat. His incredable natural speed may also be considered a weapon, in that he can close the distance to his target before they're ready to engage at close range.

Personality: Overly violent, Razor is the kind to strike first and ask questions later often at little provacation. He finds it very difficult to trust anyone or anything but himself- He oftentimes has slain allies because they looked mildly suspicious to him. All this was before he became one of his tribe's hunter-warriors, an occupataion which merely led to increase his violent tendencies. Lacking much of a tactical mind, he leaves it up to those in charge to make decisions- Although he may not nessacarily follow orders.

Bio: Born and raised among a remote tribe of Scyther, Razor was trained to be an efficient killer since birth. The eldest in the tribe watched with awe at the youngling who adopted the teachings so well- A mere week after he took his first steps he could begin holding his own against those much older than he. The moment Razor could slice through a tree's trunk, he was placed within a party of hunter-warriors. He did both aspects of the job well- He could bring in large kills by himself and oftentimes fought off rival tribe groups. One day, however, in a fit of rage over a command he viewed as cowardly, Razor killed the tribe's elder. And from that point on he was a fugitive...

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Somewhere a Clock is Ticking is now closed.

Re: [Open, OOC and Sign-ups] Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

Name: Vita Moore

Gender: Female

Age: Last time she checked, 14

Human or Pokémon? Human

Appearance: Vita is your average Pokemon trainer, perhaps a bit shorter than the most but not short enough to draw too much attention. She has shocking red hair, not some sort of brownish red, but true, flaming red, hacked short messily. The fact that she is a cousin of Flannery, a fire-type Gym leader in Hoenn, may explain the color of her hair. Vita usually wears a bright orange sweater that is definitely too big for her, baggy, slightly ripped dark red pants, and beat-up sneakers that were black but is now a slightly grayish brown. She also wears a thick belt for hanging her four Pokeballs. Others sometimes mistake Vita for a guy because of her ragged appearance and short hair.

New abilities: Vita received pyrokinesis, the ability to control fire. Because it is still relatively weak, she can only make small fireballs and launch them at people (or whatever she felt like, really).

Personality: Vita is a tomboy. She does not care about her appearance and is a risk-taker -- perhaps too reckless for her own good sometimes. She's cheerful and always speaks her mind, although her blunt way of speaking sometimes offend others. She's a bit unaware of how she offends others, however, so she often gets quite confused when the offended party responds. Like her cousin, Vita loves fire-types; she had started her Pokemon journey with a Charmander she received from her grandfather. A bit jumpy at times, Vita is usually quick to decide and act out during a dilemma, although her rash decisions may not be a good one.

Bio: Vita was born in Kanto, but she moved to Lavaridge, Hoenn, when she was five because her grandfather became the Gym leader there. She pretty much lived in the Gym along with Flannery from that day on -- she loved to visit and watch the battles, and would sometimes sneak in at night to visit the Pokemon. She learned battle tactics from her grandfather there. She left for her Pokemon journey when she was ten, with a Charmander she received after bugging her grandfather. She soon became a trainer, focusing her training on fire-types. Because of her type specialty, she never became a great trainer and lost many battles due to type disadvantages.

She supposed that it's a good thing that the orange things are afraid of fire.

Other: Finally finished. Whoot.
