The Original Story [OOC]

Many years ago, a strange anomaly emerged on the shores of the Cinnabar and Seafoam islands; a strange object resembling a mass of static hovering in midair. It was apparently a living creature, a Pokemon, as it took to attacking trainers. It was incredibly strong at times, and weak at others, and very few could find and capture it. It was dubbed ‘Missingno.’, since the Pokedex could not seem to find a classification for this creature. Most of the few who captured the creature were driven slowly insane…

But one trainer discovered something about this strange Pokemon; it was a gateway to another universe. He managed to force his way into the rift, and took to exploring the strange world beyond… He was lost for many years, and when he finally did return, he was driven to madness, and was carrying only a journal full of notes and drawings, and a bag of useless seeming objects. He gave the journal and objects to scientists, telling them that they would be needed one day, the last words he would ever speak. After that, he retreated to the inner chambers of a secluded mountain, and lived alone, never speaking.

The strange portal-creature disappeared after that, and was never seen again.

…For about twenty years, at least.

Missingno. has been seen again, this time in places other than the few it was seen in before. They were aggressive and dangerous this time, lashing out at any human or Pokemon that got in it’s way. The newly reformed Team Galactic took notices of this emergence, and the new Leader managed to capture the mighty Arceus, and dove into the rift, seeking the power within.

So the very best scientists of the world banded together to think of a way to combat this menace. They tried everything they could, until one elderly scientist told them a story; a story of a young man who dived into the portal and returned alive, and left them with a journal and strange objects. It was worth a try… They gathered trainers willing to go into the void at the risk of never returning, and told them what they could.

They were also given a guardian; a Legendary Pokemon was to partner with each human, to defend them against the madness of the other world. The mission is this: to reach the end of the world inside the rift, and to stop Team Galactic, before they reach the Mother of All.

*attempts to come up with a character herself* :I

Re: [Open] The Original Story [OOC + Signups]

Name: Greer Harrien
Age: 15
Gender: Male

Appearance: The first thing that strikes most people is that Greer is tall. Close to seven feet, the thin, kind young man is an imposing sight to many. Greer is rather tan and has dark, curly brown hair. He's usually seen in darker clothing, mostly long shorts and t-shirts, and often wears a breeder's apron over his clothes. He has a small black backpack filled with berries and assorted oddities, mostly apricorns, various Pokéballs, and music. Greer is often seen with a pair of headphones with only one earbud.

Personality: Greer is quiet, in a defaulted sort of way. Which is to say, if there's any good reason for him to join in a conversation or argument, he will. Greer takes pleasure in making things, including his (quite basic) hobby of making Pokéballs. Greer is very rooted in his beliefs, and will defend them if need be. Although respectful to his elders, Greer often has thoughts wildly varying from what he says.

History: Born to a pair of breeders, Greer has recently taken up the profession, making Pokéballs in his spare time. A single child (ironic for a pair of breeders), Greer befriended and connected with Pokémon instead of most children his age. This befitted his parent's legacy, and Greer took to being a breeder like a Psyduck to Asprin.

Pokemon:

Porygon-Z [Unit G-133 or 'Glee'] 'Male'
Brought along to aid in the cataloging of the new world. Colored black instead of red.

Kricketune [Dom] Male
An expert with Bide, Dom was Greer's first Pokémon. Loves music.

Other: I hope the leetyness is okay.

Re: [Open] The Original Story [OOC + Signups]

Name: Flareth Cartoonigan

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance: She keeps her light brown hair up in a ponytail. She has green eyes and black glasses. She wears a completely black hoodie. Underneath the hoodie is a Pinky and the Brain T-shirt (The front and the back). She carries around a large black purse. She wears grey sweatpants.

Personality: She gets stressed very easily. Don't be surprised f she yells at you to be quiet. She needs silence to focus. Other than that, she's a very nice girl, although she gets hyper if you give her anything with sugar in it. She wants to study the glitch Pokemon and try to make them accepted in society. She's looking for Missingno to study how it lives and behavior.

History: She's working at a newspaper in Fuschia City as a part-time reporter/trainee. She has only met a few of the world's famous stars. Those stars were Lance, Will, and Cynthia, all the the Elite Four. She has twin brothers named Neko and Kero, who are 11. They, along with their mother, live in Celadon, so Flareth bikes to work every day.

Pokemon:

Rotom (Mower-form, nicknamed Zed)- Hyper Rotm that always wants to get into the fight. Dislikes mushy love type stuff, but true love, he's okay with.

Blastoise (Nicknamed Blasto. Is male.)- Her first Pokemon, which she recieved as a Squirtle. She trained it well, but she didn't do the gym challenge. She just fought against trainers while just enjoying the adventure she could take.

Persian (Nicknamed Snarl. Is Male): She found Snarl as a Meowth abandoned in an alley, chained by his legs to a brick wall and fur covered in blood. She ended up getting the chains undone and taking him to a Pokemon Center. The nurse said, if he was left for an hour more, he would've died. Snarl didn't like Flareth at first, but as soon as he realized that she wasn't going to hurt him, they became fast friends. He is distursting of others, though, for the same reason that he once distrusted Flareth.


Other: Nooooope~

Re: [Open] The Original Story [OOC + Signups]

Flareth: accepted! You will receive the following Object:

Flute - A small four-holed instrument made of wood, has the roman numeral for 3 carved into it.

And your partner will be:

Re: [Open] The Original Story [OOC + Signups]

ARSDFJACKL I should not be joining new RPs but this is just too epic. x3 YES, THIS CHARACTER AGAIN. :P

Name: Tala Eiru
Age: 15
Gender: Female

Appearance: Tala is short for her age, standing at five foot three, with long brown hair and green eyes. She usually wears green and blue clothing, mostly jeans and loose-fitting shirts that hang to mid-thigh on her slim frame. She looks fit, with muscled arms and legs, but... unkempt, with messy hair and generally stained clothing, revealing a total lack of care for her appearance.

Personality: Tala is stubborn, with a core beliefs of what is right and wrong, and isn't afraid to start fights over it if she needs to. She depends on her Pokemon, and treats them as her family members - her own carelessness regarding herself tends to have her skip meals, stay awake when she should be sleeping and forgo such neccessary things as extra clothing when it gets cold. The only thing she does tend to is her muscles: she exercises often and with fiendish energy. She can be amazingly single-minded when given a goal, but is equally absent-minded about relationships and interactions with other people, and generally doesn't associate much with other people, given her tendency to be argumentative when prodded and her contempt for most other Pokemon trainers. She will assert that she is better than a Pokemon trainer because she never caught hers, despite the evidence that trainers treat their Pokemon just as well as she does. The only difference between her and a trainer is the type of bond she shares with her Pokemon, but she refuses to acknowledge it.

History: Tala has a good reason to look down on Pokemon training - her parents were both skilled trainers, and tried to make sure she had their talent and knowledge in Pokemon training. She endured being taken to expensive schools and private tournaments, but eventually got sick of it when she was seven years old, and told them bitterly that she refused to ever train a Pokemon. They treated this as the childish oath it was - but reconsidered when they had forced her out of the house, Pokeball in hand, three years later, only to find out she was sitting stubbornly in the grass outside town, trying to explain vehemently to her new Totodile why it should leave and go off into the wild.

Her Totodile, much distressed by her attitude, appointed himself as her caretaker, and eventually Tala wound up in Violet City, bemused, with Torrent trailing her and nipping her gently to remind her to eat (and sleep and bathe occasionally). True to her word, she didn't battle - but Torrent did, fighting on his own when she assumed he was snatching a Berry or two, and she was extremely surprised when he suddenly evolved. After his evolution, he harried her to the next town, and there she acquired a Pidgey that, to her dismay, refused to leave once it saw the amusing scene of the Croconaw chasing the human around.

She traveled a lot after that, and gave up when both her Pokemon evolved and fought wild Pokemon themselves, and at one point, she even had a battle with a confused trainer that had no idea why her Pokemon didn't need orders... Eventually, she ended up in Sinnoh, and, learning of what had occured, agreed willingly enough to leave - she had nothing else to do, and she needed a true goal.

Pokemon: Torrent, male Feraligatr
Talon, male Pidgeot

Other: ...I like Tala too much. Fanfic characters are far too easily drafted into roleplays, as this shows. And her history is awesome~ And too long for a RP character, I know. >>

Re: [Open] The Original Story [OOC + Signups]

This looks fun~

Name: Thomas "Tom" Swift

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Appearance: The best word that can describe Tom would be average. He has average height, about 5'7", with short, messy brown hair and brown eyes like so many other people. He usually wears a blue hoodie with a simple red and white Pokeball design in the front that can probably be found in every other clothing shop one goes to and a pair of baggy blue jeans that can probably be found in every single clothing shop out there. He usually carries around a light brown backpack to store various items. Tom' average appearance gives him the ability to blend into crowds quite easily and passing off as "just another trainer on the road," which he actually is.

Personality: Tom doesn't really do much to stand out either. Actually, he doesn't want to stand out, preferring to live in relative anonymity. He gets a bit flustered by too much attention, and will always try to shift the topic to something else if too many people are interested in him. Otherwise, Tom is easygoing, mostly because he keeps his opinions to himself when he actually has one. Tom has an casual attitude on life as well, and doesn't really care about anything. His unconcern for anything around him makes it really hard to something to stress him out, but it also makes him seem uncaring at times.

History: Tom was born in a little town in Hoenn and lived there for the most of his life. The lax, uncaring Hoenn attitude and rubbed off on him, and Tom spend most of his childhood moping around, fighting occasional trainers that happened to come by his town with the mudkip he received from his parents. The small town meant that everyone knew and helped each other, and all was well -- there was no competitions, no stress.

Then came the day when his family decided to move to Sinnoh for better job opportunities, and Tom was thrown from the quiet life of a little town into the busy big city life of Sinnoh. He was immediately overwhelmed by the huge crowds and the uncaring attitude of typical Sinnohians, and, his only Pokemon left in Hoenn, Tom became sort of a recluse, afraid to draw attention to himself. As a result, he never made many friends, and his closest companion became the Porygon he received for a birthday present. Tom never quite got used to the city life and was always quite nervous around strangers, so when he graduated school, he moved to a small apartment and worked at odd jobs, barely scraping enough money to keep up the rent.

One day, Tom decided that he has had enough of this stupid city life and left, taking only his Poryon2 (which had evolved after he upgraded it with the newest Silph product) and his money. He wandered around without a goal, fighting trainers for money when needed. Tom became slightly famous around these parts as "the weird hobo", and, one day, he was approached by some scientists asking for direction. That's when he heard about Missingno and decided to join the expedition, because it's not as if he had anything else better to do anyway.

Pokemon:
[Pory] Porygon2
Tom never had a great naming sense, and he actually didn't nickname Pory on purpose. It's just that Porygon2 has too many syllables, and, over the course of several years, Porygon2 gradually became Porygon, then just Pory. Pory doesn't really mind the name.

Other:

Done~

Woohoo, Shaymin.

Bwahaha, Tala has Aaaazelf. >:D Yes, I'll be laughing about this for a while. x3

Re: [Open] The Original Story [OOC + Signups]

Name: Cassandra Xanderia
Age: 36
Gender: Female

Appearance: Black, bushy hair, of a medium length. Her eyes appear red in some light, but they’re really a certain shade of brown. She is paled quite a bit, which makes her blood-red gown look even redder. Said gown fades to black around mid-way down. She wears simple flat shoes, and she keeps her PokeBall on a cord around her neck. Her other necklace is a black rosary. She has long nails, painted a sort of maroon-rouge combination. She is very curvy, but stands at around 5’11”.

Personality: She’s, to put it bluntly, sadistic. She loves watching other people suffer, by her hands or no. She’s slightly whacked. She sometimes suffers from hallucinatory visions, and may get violent during these, so if you’re nearby, look out. She may look at you and see the object she’s trying to destroy instead of… well, you. A good warning sign is if she’s talking to things that aren’t there, holding whole conversations with them or seems to be struggling against something invisible. She is medicated for this, but she has run out of pills and forgot to refresh her prescription. But when she has her sane moments, which is a lot of the time, she’s quite bold and pronounced, and can be seen as cruel to those who don’t know her very well. Regular hallucinations are common to her before she lapses back into fits of insanity, and often she will point out something to other people that isn’t really there.

The only thing that really keeps her calm through these fits, besides her medication, is if there’s music playing.

History: Cassandra used to lead a relatively normal life before the mental illness hit. She was a contest star and a trainer on the side, dazzling crowds with her Houndoom’s “Twin Dragons” technique. She was a very happy girl, and showed no signs of any illness at all.

Then she started seeing things out of the corner of her eye, and whipping around to see that they weren’t there. This didn’t really phase her for a while, until they stayed there when she looked, and she wasn’t sure if they were real or not. Other people viewed her as going nuts, and indeed she was. But still, she kept on pulling through, albeit with help from her Houndoom to determine what was real and what wasn’t.

And then the first vision came. It was at a contest, and it was her turn on the stage. As she walked out, the bright colors of the hall faded away, and all she could see was a dark alley. Shadows kept moving around her. Her Houndoom wasn’t there. And there was a man approaching her, muttering things in a drunken slur. So she grabbed the nearest object and started beating the crap out of the man. Unfortunately for her though, that man was one of the judges going past her and back to his seat. When she came to, the judge was unconscious and bloody, and her contest career was ruined.

Things only got worse from there. She was finally sent to a hospital for a year, and given a prescription for anti-psychotic medication. And the pills helped her a lot. But she was terrified of relapses. Which always seemed to happen the day after her meds ran out if she forgot to go get more.

She was approached by scientists one day that had heard of her famous reputation and illness, and was asked about going on this journey. She of course, said yes.

Pokemon:
[Lucifer] Houndoom (M)
Cassandra’s… caretaker, if you will. He will keep her away from other people if he senses that she’s going into a fit, and if necessary, will do anything possible to stop her from attacking them when she’s in a vision. Has a high sense of responsibility.

Other: None.

Re: [Open] The Original Story [OOC + Signups]

Yay Zora 8D You get:

Music Box - The size of a hand, and made of beautiful cherry wood, plays this song when opened.

[Shinji] Darkrai (M)
Shinji is very quiet most of the time, and can seem very sweet if he's in a good mood. But if angered or he thinks he's been wronged, he will bloodily kill whoever angered or wronged him.

Re: [Open] The Original Story [OOC + Signups]

Name: Mina Sokoll
Age: 19
Gender: Female

Appearance: Mina is about of average stature, standing at around 5'7" tall. She has fairly short-cut (neck length) black hair which, otherwise straight, flicks outwards at the ends. Her skin is a slightly darkened tan and eyes a rather striking Hazel. She's of an average build, and wears a lot of dark clothing - including her thick, black leather boots (About ankle-height), black cloth trousers, and a black tank top worn over a rather ragged long sleeve top patterned with black and grey stripes. Her hair is usually tied back somewhat with a large pearlescant clip and trousers tied with a black and white checkerboard cloth belt. She has a small, black cloth hip-sack which she keeps most of her belongings in while traveling.

Personality: Despite her appearence, Mina is rather... Ditzy, and talkative at times. She has a habit of being highly sarcastic, but will keep a serious demeanor about her. She isn't afraid to make her opinions known and will become very passionate in argument, and can be very fiery at times. She's rather eccentric, speaking and moving with a certain flourished flair, and has a tendancy towards less-than-average Pokemon. She is a rather skilled trainer and forms very close bonds with he partners, but can also tend to shut out other people in favour of their company.

History: Mina's upbringing was.. standard. She attended local schools with average grades, hung around with friends at the local shops, and worked as a part-time in the local Pokemon centre. Her job may have been the only reason she ever became a trainer, seeing people and their Pokemon come and go all day rubbed off on her rather quickly, and she slowly started to raise her own - albeit in a very relaxed manner. She had never thought of becoming particularly serious in it, and her first Pokemon was a simple Zubat from a local cave; one who drew some ridicule as a Pokemon choice from other trainers. But a certain relaxed style of training stemming from her more relaxed lifestyle caused her to quickly become very close to her partner, both of them showing very unique styles.

Pokemon:
[Sigal] Crobat (F)
To put it simply, a huge flippin' bat. Sigal grew far larger than most Crobat to almost 7'2" with wings accounted for. She was Mina's first Pokemon and has a very close bond with her. More than capable of carrying an average adult in flight, she's also of a rather laid back personality.

[Jade] Relicanth (F)
One of Mina's more interesting picks, half of the trainers she comes across don't even recognise Jade's species. Jade was found on a decidedly average family trip on a cruise liner, Relicanth only appearing in deep sea areas, she was caught by her father while he was fishing off the boat and captured by Mina after managing to get him out of the way. Jade is a quiet powerhouse, despite her size and rocky makeup she's a very powerful swimmer and powerful attacker - her signature Head Smash packing a whallop few can resist. Mina often swims out to sea on her days off with Jade.

Other: She speaks with a bit of a Russian accent, although she won't speak the language itself.

Re: [Open] The Original Story [OOC + Signups]

Name: Ilene Karl
Age: 16
Gender: Female

Appearance: Ilene has long black hair and almost-black eyes. She is slightly above average in height and weight, and doesn't pay close attention to her appearance, so her hair is greasy and nothing really hides her facial acne. She has a few scars on her face and arms, but nothing particularly noticeable or painful. She has long arms and fingers compared to her height, which has occasionally come in useful. She wears t-shirts sporting amusing slogans, old jeans, and running shoes.

Personality: Ilene is not particularly serious except in high-stress situations. She'd rather goof off and joke around (even if her jokes aren't generally that good), and she doesn't care about offending people. Her main goal in life seems to be breaking tension when she can, which often doesn't work for anyone but herself. She can remain calm when threatened - until someone is actually hurt, at which point she loses her cool - mainly because she tries to brush it off with humour. Taking nothing seriously and purposefully misunderstanding people are also both good defences when someone tries to tell her something or ask a favour.

She is protective of her pokemon, friends, and anyone she feels responsible for, but she would risk her life without question for her partner aipom. Pain, illness, and insanity would not deter her from protecting or avenging others as necessary. Although she's not particularly violent, she has no problem with killing or torturing for the sake of those she cares for. She has nothing against using violence to protect herself, either, but in situations where she's the only one at risk, she's more likely to do the smart thing and flee.

History:
Ilene's parents were fairly well-known psychic trainers, to the point where some thought they would be the next psychic gym leaders, although they liked their mobility too much to even try. Both often helped the police or other keepers of the peace, and they would travel across Hoenn whenever they heard of the latest disaster. Of course, it helped that in their youth, they had gone almost everywhere and could teleport halfway across the region without a sweat. With the vast powers of their pokemon's minds, it seemed they could do anything.

Ilene, though, was far more interested in the normal-type - or at least, she liked the aipom given to her for her tenth birthday a lot better than the rather imposing alakazam that took care of her when her parents were away. While psychics could communicate more easily, it was almost like cheating; neither of her parents could truly understand pokemon without a psychic translation. Ilene wanted to understand pokemon through her own efforts, and she wanted to train them on her own, too. It helped that her parents only really knew how to deal with psychics, so they wouldn't be trying to teach her when she didn't want help.

Somehow they managed to decide this was teenage rebellion, choosing normals over the far-superior psychics. Since the only two new pokemon she kept after her year-long pokemon journey were a noctowl and stantler - "psychics in denial" - they believed she was the same. Though irritated, she didn't press the issue. She continued going to school (Writing was her strenth, but English in general sucked. So did the sciences, because while the subject matter was fascinating, goddamn all that math was annoying. Physical education was okay, although she could do without learning the reproductive system every year.), and spent summers training at the normal-type gym. Nothing special really happened during her years there, until one day she overheard people asking her parents to save the world and protect Arceus.

Her parents regretfully refused - although they wanted to help somehow, they could not risk their pokemon's minds. Their pokemon were their minds, in more ways than usual. Ilene volunteered in their place (Finally! An excuse to get out of math!), although she hoped that she wouldn't get a psychic-type legendary. Naturally, her parents prayed for the opposite.

My goal is, indeed, to make proper spelling difficult for all.

Re: [Open] The Original Story [OOC + Signups]

Name: Halan Storm
Age: 35
Gender: Male

Appearance: Halan is a tall and intimidating man.He has long blond hair that is wavy and slightly curled. He wears it long on his back and over his shoulders. He has a short beard and piercing blue eyes as cold as ice. He wears a black muscle shirt and faded blue jeans stained with dirt and grass from years of abuse. His boots are thick leather, metal toed, and battered with age. He has a pair of fingerless gloves and a collar around his neck studded with small red gems.

When ever he looks at someone, they could swear he had the gaze that would freeze a Froslass. He looks mean, unapproachable, and ready to tear you to pieces.

Personality: He is very quiet, watching and observing others with silent consent. If someone does what he deems "stupid", he will pick them up by the back of the shirt and physically move them away from what they were about to do. He has a strong sense of justice and a very noble heart, as well as a soft side when it comes to young woman and girls. Some would describe him are more animal than man when he deals with people, and they would be mostly right since he'd more likely pick you up by your "scruff" and move you around to a formation he prefers. He growls when annoyed in warning, glares when not pleased, and will hit you if you are really stupid.

History: Halan has traveled the vast world in the name of Training. He has connected with nature and has lost touch with humans as he holed himself away in the mountains as a form of "Hermit" behavior. For four years of his life, he has sat under a waterfall in search of a higher plane of conscience. He did this for four years straight, never moving and never eating. While in this state of mind, he was able to communicate with the other beings on and in the mountain that could reach out their own minds to him. One of these beings was called Ishvala. Ishvala and him would speak often, telling small stories of each other's lives to each other as they await for the time for them to move on.

After his four years in the mountains, he awoke from his meditation and moved down the mountain to a small daycare. The wife there would feed him and give him food to travel with. It was through this woman that he was able to reconnect with his young Friend that was looking for him. Through his friend, he met all their friends and had gained a small group of humans to talk to whenever he returned to the human world.

It was one of these human friends that later came to him to ask his help in stopping the plans of a foolish girl that entered the Glitch Universe. Halan agreed to go, but not for the reason to stop the fool that entered, but to drag all the others that went with her to the foul p-lace he was told about by Ishvala. Though he doesn't know everything that dwells in that world, he knows enough to help him get by...for now.

Pokemon: He won't be taking any pokemon in there. Other than the one that is given to him.

Other: He was never a trainer. But some how he has been drafted by a friend's friend to help in this endeavor. He is also not afraid to snap a few twigs if they are in the way.

....I'll finish this later.
