[OOC/Signups] Era of Escape: Days of the Damned

Let's see if this actually lasts this time
-------------

“Get in there, miserable, abusive Rocket tools!!”

A man in a bright green uniform cracked a whip angrily, and many people garbed in black were loaded onto a boxcar. To any ordinary person from our world, this would almost seem like a scene from Nazi-era Germany. But in the Pokemon world, where this scene unfolded, a battle had concluded. A massive battle that would decide the fate of said world itself.

From a platform above, the very same that Giovanni had used to speak on occasion, Lance the Dragon Master cackled. His Dragonite shot bluish fire at the helpless Rockets coming out of the badly damaged Viridian City landmark. Some were caught in the blaze and were killed, and it spurred the others to run faster.

“At last… At last I can finally go after the legendaries and cleanse this world of the humans… just me and the Pokemon…” Lance muttered, watching the utter chaos in the midst of the night.

Meanwhile, an azure-haired Executive glanced at her partner, green eyes shimmering with fear and sweat pouring off of her face. “This… how did we lose this?!”

“I don’t know…” her black-haired partner answered, “But it looks like the end of the line for Team Rocket, for us, and for humanity…”

The fires continued to burn Viridian City, and on a hill near the forest, a blue wolf-like Pokemon with a violet cloud streaming from its back watched the scene. It howled, and thunder roared before rain started to pour. Saddened and angered, the Suicune dashed off at top speed…

-----------------------

The blond-haired girl peered out of the window of the mansion, just barely able to see a blue blur before shifting shape into a horse-like form for her own comfort. The Suicune burst into the door angrily, soaking wet, before transforming herself into a human.

“It’s happened. Lance has won, and he’s probably coming for us next.”

A Darkrai in the back scoffed, glancing at an Azelf. “Well then, we can’t let them do that, now can we? Fucking bastard…”

“No, we can’t…” the Arceus muttered grimly, “But the humans of this world are too divided… All the supporters of the Rockets have been captured, the trainers think the Dragon Master was blessed by my hand and that they should follow him… the only ones left who oppose his plan to eliminate the human race are us.”

“So what do you propose we do about it?” A Palkia growled, “You say all the humans are too divided, but what do you intend to do? Send us out and risk him getting his faggot-ass paws on us?”

“No, we can’t reveal ourselves. If he finds this mansion, we’re screwed. No, there‘s gotta be something…”

“And what if he does find us?!” the Darkrai argued as a Giratina agreed.

“We run. I know of a place where we can hide… but it’s a risk we only take if he finds us…”

~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe you were on your way to collect a Gym Badge. Perhaps you were a coordinator going to or from a contest. Perchance, you might have been just a regular person, going about your business. You were blissfully unaware of what was going on behind the scenes. But for whatever reason, you found yourself being followed by young men in bright green uniforms. You may have stopped them to ask what was going on, or you may have figured they wanted a battle. But there was something… suspicious about them.

And now whatever you were doing no longer matters, because as soon as you turn around, something knocks you out.

You wake up and find yourself in a cold, dank room. It’s dark, and it reeks of a dungeon of some sort. You can hardly see anyone, but you can hear the sounds of breathing all around you. It’s almost definitely a prison cell, because there are iron bars in front of the tiny windows and in other places, and there is little else in the room aside from a few cots and a toilet. What you can see of some of the prisoners is deplorable – there are whip scars all over them and some seem pale from sickness. As the prisoners wake up and notice you, the situation becomes clear as they explain.

In Sinnoh there’s a city, underground and hidden, where the refugees lie. Word has spread by many Rockets being transferred from various prisons across the regions. It’s been kept a well guarded secret by them… so far.

Unova’s Team Plasma have established themselves as firmly on Lance’s side, taking captive anyone they see as being cruel to their Pokemon and jailing them, their Pokemon sent to a chamber to be prepared for release.

Rumors also tell that the Teams of Hoenn, Magma and Aqua, have been aiding Team Trainer and capturing dissenters…although like usual there is an intense competition between the two. Lance has promised that the winning team would get their wish of expanding either the land or the sea if they can capture the former leaders of the Rockets, and naturally Archie and Maxie jumped all over that. And they have even more competition now that a third team, Team Aether, has been gaining publicity through TV news, talk shows and other things. It is unknown whose side this third team is on or what their goals are.

Meanwhile, in both Johto and Kanto, the Trainers have established totalitarian rule. If you are even suspected of being a Rocket, you WILL be imprisoned. Many innocents, who haven’t taken a side, are wrongfully jailed, their reputations and careers destroyed and their Pokemon taken away unless they swear allegiance to Lance. While confirmed Rockets are left to rot, those who Trainers think are spies or ciphers are tortured until they swear allegiance, and released where the public will shun them, and they will be denied any privilege they may have had before in regards to their career. Those who refuse even through the torture are killed.

You were one of those suspected, on the queue for the “Allegiance Ceremony”, as the Trainers call it. You’re chained down with the rest of the prisoners, Rockets and suspected alike. You hear hushed whispers all around you. Rumors of what’s going on on the outside. Of hope. Of… perhaps a way to end this nightmare…

To journey across the regions and shut down the Trainer bases one by one, and liberate the Underground City.


Yes, this is a bit of a… different, twist on the relations between the Rockets and the Elite Four and them, I know. Hopefully we can have a bit of fun here, hm? :]

Aaanyway, rules:

- Usual Forum Rules
- There WILL be blood in this, and there will probably be killing. If you can’t stomach that, don’t join
- Keep it semi-lit. That’s MORE THAN A SENTENCE, PEOPLE.
- Use the enter key twice when making a new line if you've read this. Also whether you're joining or not, do this every time you ever make a post because walls of text are not fun
- Mary-Sues will be brutally annihilated by BOTH sides.
- Please, keep it PG-13 if you’re going to have a relation.
- Also, grammar. Use it.

Some other guidelines…
- You may be Pokemon or human. Keep in mind that you are probably /not/ a wild Pokemon should you choose to play a Pokemon, and you may choose to belong to either a human character of yours, or a character of someone else’s with their permission. Should you choose this path, you will not be confined to a poke ball.
- People who play humans: Note that you won’t have your Pokemon at first, and will regain them at a certain point shortly after the start of the RP.
- I’ll set the character limit at… four. Four is a good number.

Little Bluberry Bomb will be my co-DM this time around.

Now, as for me...



Name: Angel Lumentia
Gender: Female
Age: 17

Pokemon:
- Danielle (Togekiss, female, yellow where she should be red)
- Spirit (Espeon, female, has a pair of earrings in both ears)
- Luminita (Dragonair, played by Kali)
- Lilas (Chandelure, female, flames are rather bluish)
- Anastasiya (Riolu, played by Little Bluberry Bomb)

Personality: Angel loves a good fight, that much is clear. Whether it be a fist fight or a Pokemon battle, if she’s challenged, she takes it right off. She doesn’t like seeing a good friend hurt though. That’s her Berserk Button, and she’ll inflict the same pain on you as you’ve done to the person she cares about. Also a very proud person.

Appearance: Angel has white hair that has blond streaks in it. When it’s down it goes to the base of her neck, but she keeps it pulled up into a twist. Her eyes are bright green. She stands 5’5” and is quite skinny. On her left shoulder is a red rose tattoo that she recently got passing through Goldenrod City just before she got captured. Outfit is a white tank and light blue bleached jeans, with gold trim around the pockets and bottoms that she put on there herself. Likes to wear a pair of sunglasses (for DRAMA), and white sandals.

Bio: Angel… wasn’t much of anything while she was traveling, although officially she was a trainer. She tried the Gym Challenge but she didn’t like that, she tried coordinating but she didn’t like that… tried Pokemon Watching but thought that was boring… becoming a Ranger was too much work… so she decided she’d travel.

And did she ever. She’s only gotten around Kanto before, and has only just started Johto, but she longs to go further than that; to Hoenn, up north to Sinnoh… and maybe even one day to the far away region of Unova. And she found she liked traveling and battling whatever came her way. Winning got her the money to buy whatever supplies her and her Pokemon needed, and then some because some trainers were hella generous.

She doesn’t know exactly when it happened, but she was en route to Ecruteak when she felt she was being watched. She saw a man in godawful bright green walking beside her albeit a distance away, and was wary of it, but otherwise paid no mind. She was jumped at National Park’s gates and awoke in a dingy cell with her Pokemon missing.

Other: She misses her boyfriend.




Name: Vera Luanne Smith
Gender: Female
Age: 37

Pokemon:
- Senka (Mightyena, female, has violet eyes and a collar with a black and red rose on it)
- Nerissa (Glaceon, female, is shiny)
- Elan (Rapidash, male, has green eyes, a slightly darker coat than most, and a nick in the left ear)
- Zeru (Staraptor, male, has a slight bluish tinge)
- Terra (Serperior, female, nothing to be said here)

Personality: All in all she's got that southern charm, but she likes puttin' the beat-down on any sort of mook that attacks her. This makes her quite a formidable opponent in a fight. She’s a woman of simple pleasures; she loves nothing more than sitting on the front porch and drinking a cold one. She does however, seem to like voicing what could go wrong, but as of late she’s made an active effort to stop that. Likes music very muchly, to the point where she’s spent 20 years mastering the fiddle, her favorite instrument.

Appearance: Vera has red hair that has a lot of… volume, let’s say, that falls to mid-shoulder blades and gets wavy at the very ends. Her eyes are a very icy blue color, and her skin is fair. She has a bit of muscle going for her due to her owning a ranch… before she was taken. She wears a bright purple vest with several pockets, and a blue tank top under that. Below that are black jeans with a white checkerboard pattern on one leg, and a tear in the knee of the other. She’s the poster child for Does Not Like Shoes, forgoing them whenever she can in favor of sandals or, as she’d most prefer, bare feet. She is average weight and about 5’8”.

Bio: Vera was a trainer, long ago. She had all the badges of Kanto and Johto, but never went out for the league. Her starter was a Ponyta that she named Elan, born and raised on the family ranch. She came back home for good at twenty years of age with three more trusted Pokemon, including a shiny Glaceon that she’d specifically gone to Snowpoint City to evolve.

It was about a year after that that she inherited the ranch, and she’s worked it ever since while her boyfriend of about a year now works in a TV station in nearby Goldenrod City. This is what gave her her arm strength, although due to her skin type she lacks a farmer’s tan to go with it. And she likes that lifestyle, or at least she did until that fateful day. She got a knock on her door and two uniformed men barged inside, and when she asked what they were doing… they knocked her out. And now she’s stuck in a jail cell.

Other: Has a slight Southern accent.



Name: Known simply as Azurra
Gender: Female
Age: around 20

Pokemon:
- Hera (played by myself)
- Cyndra (Typhlosion, female, a shade darker than most of her species, but with stripes of lighter color)
- Fausto (Liepard, male, has a few scars dotting his body)
- Seafoam (Swampert, female, has a few tatters in her fins)
- Murderess (Pidgeot, female, crest is much redder than a normal Pidgeot)

Personality: She likes to be laid back and have fun. But she knows, she KNOWS, when to take charge. She will not, will not respect you if you don’t respect her. She’s quite driven by the fact that her best friend has been shipped off to an unknown location, as well as the fact that her gun, sword and most trusted partner, her Gardevoir, are missing. And mostly she really wants to see Lance dead after what he did to all these people, who are most likely innocent people who had nothing to do with it.

Appearance: Blue hair, down to the middle of her back and straight, very straight. Green eyes, although towards the pupil they turn a sort of bluish color. Paled from staying inside and hanging around her “Hidey Hole” and the Executive lounge all the time instead of being outside. She stands 5’10”, and from not being able to eat in… who knows how long since she’s been locked away, is quite thin. Attire consists of a jacket identifying her as an Executive via a small pin, a purple t-shirt under that, black jeans and stilettos.

Bio: She befriended an orphaned Ralts at the age of three, and they grew up together after her mother said she could keep her. Although her true “starter” was a Cyndaquil, Hera was the one she battled with most often, and always always kept outside a Pokeball. She never bothered to try the league, because she always suspected something was up with them, and instead joined Team Rocket alongside her best human friend at sixteen. She rose through the ranks quite quickly when she showed that she was quite efficient and was quite liked besides.

She was one of the top commanders of troops when war inevitably broke out after Lance finally showed his craziness, but even that proved to not be enough when the Trainers took the Viridian City base in a surprise attack. She was separated from her best human friend, a then-Super Elite named Opal, after being taken captive, with her being held in Saffron City and Opal being carted of by Magnet Train to god knows where. She especially had to be beaten before being chained down in her cell, because even after stripped of her weapons and her Pokemon she tried to put up a fight. She was isolated because of it. But with this prison running out of room…

Other: None.


Name: Hera
Gender: Female
Age: About 19 (assuming Pokemon age the same rate as humans)
Species: Gardevoir

Trainer: Azurra / Myself

Personality: Has a very... calm demeanor, although quite stubborn sometimes. Hates Lance's army with the white-hot passion of a thousand suns. It's very hard to get her mad, but if you somehow manage to press her berserk button...

Appearance: Very much a normal Gardevoir. You know, white skin, green hair and arms, looks like she's wearing a dress, very thin... Her differences lie in her bright blue eyes (as opposed to the normal red) and the single long scar down her left arm. She dislikes talking about how she obtained this.

Other: :B

Ooh...I think I remember seeing this but never signed up.

Reserve for now:

Name: Liza Walker
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Pokemon:
-Icestar (Feraligatr, M)
-Shard (Weavile, F)
-Tundra (Froslass, F)
-Sunny (Gardevoir, F)
-Twix (Banette, M)
-Celesta (Arcanine, F)

Personality:

Apperance:

Bio:

Other: I'll finish this some time, and I'll give more details on the pokemon.

Name: Chisai Ukana
Gender: Female
Age: 14

Pokemon:

[Sonata] Scyther [F]
Longer blades. Other than that, nothing to report

[The Trap] Electrode [Prefers to be called Male]
Nothing to note

[Aqua] Lapras [F]
Nothing to note.

Personality: She is really shy around older people, especially men in their older years. She is bright and bubbly, however, when she is around people of her age group or people she's known for a long time. She doesn't think before she acts. Many of her parent's friends had said she acted very defensive and scared when they came over for a dinner party. She has an intense fear of large bodies of water.

Appearance: She has long, silver hair turned into a bun. Her clothes usually consists of comfortable, pastel-colored shirts and sweaters and blue jeans or brown corduroys. Her eyes are a pale blue color. She has very pale skin and is about 5'5.


Bio: She was a very sheltered girl. After a kidnapping experience when she was only 5, her parents never allowed her out of their sight, unless to go to school and stuff like that. They never let her hang out with her friends outside of school because "every friend could be your biggest enemy", in her parents words.

One night, she had enough. She packed up a bag and ran away in the middle of the night. She crashed at a friend's house before they both started their Pokemon journey together.

She was going to her friend's coordination debut when she was captured.



Name: Jax Obscura
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Pokemon:

[Chokomoon] Umbreon [F]
The Pokemon she had since she was 6, when it was an Eevee. She never had an official starter. A bit smaller than the average Umbreon.

[Zim] Skarmory [M]
Longer tail feathers. Good at recon

[Nightmare] Weavile [F]
Nothing to note on appearance. Jax's go-to Pokemon for battle.


Personality: She's....kinda soft. She sometimes wishes she never joined TR, which she only did for the cool outfits. But other times, she's feisty and up for a fight, especially if it's for a good reason. She knows some things you wouldn't expect a girl so young to know how to do, like ride a motorcycle (When asked by a fellow member why she knew how to ride one, she answered "So I can make a dramatic entrance").

Appearance: She has short, brown hair. She usually wears a Rocket Grunt cap on her head. Her clothes are that of a female Beta Grunt (Think Jessie from the anime). Around her neck is a golden heart-shaped locket that was taped to her door recently. She doesn't know who gave it to her. She has dark green eyes.

Bio: Her hometown is Lavender Town. She was just a normal 10-year old trainer going on her way to Viridian City to prepare herself to take the gym challenge (She wanted to go through Viridian Forest too) when she was stopped by a man who wanted to show her how to catch Pokemon. After watching his demonstration, the old man whispered "So, kid...do you want to join Team Rocket?". She didn't know much about Team Rocket, except they were all over the news. She agreed. She didn't know being one would be so difficult, but she ended up working through the ranks and becoming a Beta Grunt.


Name: Skye Perkins
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Pokemon:

[Noxio] Weezing [M]
The first Pokemon she ever got. He's a darker purple color. He's very playful and loves to play pranks on Skye.

[Tress] Ivysaur [F]
Scar under left eye, white flower. Sneaky and fights dirty

Personality: She's devious. She stops for no one. She's sworn revenge of Lance after his team of Trainers killed her boyfriend right in front of her. If anyone mentions his death, she gets really angry, shouting "I'll kill that Lance! I'LL KILL HIM!". She says to spare the trainer minions because they know nothing and that Lance is the only one to blame for her boyfriend's death.

Appearance: She's just a regular grunt, so she wears the female TR grunt uniform, except for the hat. She has black hair with blonde streaks, which is worn up in a ponytail. She has blue eyes.

Bio: She joined TR at age 14 due to a boy she had liked for a while joining. She had no Pokemon to her name, so she was given Noxio. She ended up dating said boy, but then realized he was a jerk when he cruelly dumped her because "she wasn't as cute as that Alpha Grunt (An Alpha Grunt is outiftted like Cassidy in the anime)". She was left to cry in a TR break room, where a male grunt saw her and comforted her. They were dating until Lance's army killed him.

Other: Nope


I'll have my last form in later. :3

Accepted and reserved, yup.

Reserved, please.

EDIT:

Name: Johnna "Jo" Jane Gale

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Pokemon:

[Helen "Hel"] Luxio [F] (albino with brown eyes)

[Baby Blue "B"] Eevee [F] (blue instead of brown, but still has cream-coloured tail-tip and fluff around her neck)

[Flutter "Flut"] Butterfree [M] (a normal Butterfree, but wearing a necklace with a Quick Claw attatched to it)

Personality: Jo is a tempermental young woman. She doesn't take kindly to being put down or ignored, and likes to be the center of attention. However, she is a pacifist, and so she only has her Pokemon for contests, as her beauty and her Pokemon's are unmatched. She loves her Pokemon dearly, caring to their every need and even reading to them before she puts them in their PokeBalls for the night. She misses her family, including her brothers J and Louis.

Appearance: Johnna has strawberry blonde hair that goes down to her waist, and usually she leaves it curly and wild. She has pale skin, almost transluscent during winter, but she becomes as tan and brown as a berry in the summer. She is very tall, standing around 5'9" and has long arms and legs. Her right eye is brown and her left one is green. She has full and plump lips, and a straight little nose. As far as clothes are concerned, she wears black sweats with tiny grey hearts around the waist and a black shirt over a tank-top. When it gets warm out she changes into just the tank-top decorated with colorful hearts and the sweats. She wears a fashionable purple-and-black striped scarf with all of her clothes, and it is her number one accessory. She wears grey slip-on shoes and grey starry socks. Her jewelry consists of a pink chocker necklace, two rings (one fashioned into the head of a Hoot Hoot, the other a diamond 'J'), pink and purple hoop earrings, and a blue-beaded bracelet with a purple heart on the end of it. To say the least, she is a very attractive young lady and turns heads frequently.

Bio: Johnna was raised by her parents, a popular singer and a famous contest winner, in Twinleaf Town. She followed her mother's profession and started doing contests and won her first one at the age of six, using only her Shinx, Helen. Soon after her career skyrocketed, and her name was known throughout the Sinnoh region among other young contestants. She was raised with her twin brother, Johnson, and her adult brother, Louis. All of her Pokemon were given to her as gifts (Helen her eighth birthday, Baby Blue on Christmas, and Flutter was originally her mother's handed down to her). Her dream is to be the best contestant in the region, and then move on to the world.

She was on her way to her next contest when someone grabbed her from behind, shoving a cloroform-soaked rag into her face. Apparently her mother once dated a Rocket Grunt, and they had confused Jo as his daughter instead. They planned on using her as a ransom to make the former grunt confess, but after finding out who her real father was, they decided to keep her for 'being to shady'.

Other: She walks with a limp, as while she struggled against Lance's henchman, she twisted her left ankle.

Ooh, it's back!

Reserve a human, please. (also, can i reuse a charachter(with a few minor changes) or should I make a new one?

Ill resevre a Pokemon, If anyone wants to own a Waruvial played by me

Oh look, Exo's being unoriginal for recycling characters

Name: Myles Osller
Gender: Male
Age: 16

Pokemon:

Struve [m] (See profile a few posts down)

Aslla [f] (has several orange markings on her wings)

Chacu [m] (Dorsal fin has several more "indents")

Supay [m] (Nothing out of the ordinary)

Ccapac [m] (Armor is scarred in several places)

Personality: Myles has a very severe inferiority complex, mostly stemming from the fact that his bent leg has crippled him badly. He is also very pessimistic and alone. He'll fight if necessary, but often sees himself as too scared to hurt other people to fight them, and he is just as worried about hurting pokemon (despite him knowing that they can be very easily healed.) It should be noted that he is very submissive; it won't take much to convince him to go along with something, unless it involves hurting other people.

Appearance: Myles tends to wear a tan shirt covered by a dark blue jacket, and dark gray pants. His hair is dark brown, and somewhat short. He stands at just over six feet tall, and one of his legs is bent slightly to one side.

Bio: Myles was crippled at a very young age - though exactly how has never been revealed - so it didn't take long for his inferiority complex to set in. He cut himself off from most people after the fact that he was crippled really began to set in. The only friends he really had were the pokemon given to him as gifts. This sense of loneliness developed as he grew older, and he began to suspect that even his own family looked down on him for being crippled; this led to him straying further and further away from his home. One night, his straying took him to the Illex Forest, where he was attacked by an unseen enemy.

Other: Nothing that I can think of

Name: Zrantox
Gender: Male
Age: 4612
Species: Dusknoir

Trainer: Caitlin (Played by me, Exo-Raikou.)

Personality: Zrantox, having lived for as long as he has, has a very deep cynical side. He has seen mankind repeat the same mistakes over and over again, leading to an nigh-endless cycle of violence and death (and as a Dusknoir, he has had the burden of guiding the deceased to the next life, which means that he is more affected by the cycle than one might think.) He is firmly rooted in the belief that humans will war with each other for all eternity, so his loyalty to his trainer is going solely under the premise of delaying them from the inevitable for as long as he can - though he doesn't tell her as much; instead he acts as a more "mentor" type of figure to Caitlin, and the two have formed an odd friendship since they've known each other.

Appearance: 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, but with him, the usual stormcloud grey, there is now black. The eyes on his chest and back are crimson, and the mouth on his chest moves on its own. Just below the head (where the neck might be,) there is a strange, scar-like marking, as if something was stabbed into that spot. Zrantox adamantly refuses to tell the story of how he obtained that marking.

Name: Liza Walker
Gender: Female
Age: 14

Pokemon:
-Icestar (Feraligatr, M)
Has darker colored eyes and back-spikes.

-Shard (Weavile, F)
Has a black scar over her left eye.

-Tundra (Froslass, F) Has purpleish-black areas instead of the normal purple.

-Sunny (Gardevoir, F)
Somewhat lighter shade of green on her body.

-Twix (Banette, M)
Eyes are a bright red and may glow.

-Celesta (Arcanine, F) Will be played by Mai

Personality:
She is quiet, friendly, and sincere. Liza has a tendency to be hyperactive at times, but only if around good friends. Though, when embarressed or shocked, she may not respond to you. Being so quiet at times has given her the 'antisocial' label when she really isn't.

Apperance:
She has long, wavy brown hair that she normaly keeps in a ponytail. Her hair reaches all the way down her back. She has bright green eyes that are behind glasses with a black rim. Standing at 5' 3", but tries to look taller around strangers. Her skin is slightly tanned and she wears v-neck shirts and jeans with tennis shoes.

Bio:
Liza was raised in the city of contests, Hearthome. She always went to watch contests when they were held and this thought her a Pokemon's beauty. Determined to find her own, she went into the tall grass searching for a Pokemon to show off it's beauty.

She ran into her Growlithe, which in known now as Celesta the Arcanine, befriending it quickly. Getting into a fight with one pokemon while training her, she saw how powerful they could be, and wanted to both be a trainer and coodinator.

On her way to one of the contests in Johto, she encountered men in green uniforms. Being the friendly person she is, she greeted them and asked what they were doing. But before she knew it, something had knocked her out.

Other: *crosses fingers* Please post, please post. My computers been difficult to me all day.

Alright, all accepted/reserved. o:

Aww I didn't get added. Ah well.

Form: Pokemon-

Name: ((For discussion between me and trainer))
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Species: Waruvial

Trainer: Empty/ Please Apply

Personality: PO cuz I suck at these, but Arrogant bastard who has a softer side he shows to only worthy people. TO others, he is a jerk who believes he can deafeat everyone, and everyone is inferior.

Appearance: XXX appears to be a normal Waruvial, though he has a scarred undebelly and his arms have more muscles.

Other: Totally not reusing Gredia without spilcing.

Reservity reservation please. I'll fill this out later.

Name: Celesta
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Species: Arcanine

Trainer: Silver/ Liza Walker

Personality: Celesta is a dreamer and a fashionista, if you had to describe her with two words. She's sweet and kind, but considers appearance too much. She dislikes battling for the reason that it gets her dirty. She will not hold back with her fashion commentaries, and sometimes wishes that arcanines were better at wearing clothes. She prefers contests over battles, and wishes that someday her trainer will get her to the grand festival. She gets spaced out pretty often, usually about outfits of some sort or another. Will be played out.

Appearance: Though she is slightly slim arcanine, Celesta is not very muscular. Her silky fur is a darker crimson rather than orange in most places, and she's dyed her normally cream colored fur black. Speaking of her fur, it's also abnormally luxurious; a result of a particularly fancy shampoo she has begged her trainer to buy and use. It's very neat and strait also, it's more like a horse's mane falling down her back instead of the messy bedhead-like fur of a normal not-obsessive-about-appearance arcanine.

Other: This was based on Princess Celestia/Rarity until I realized there was no reason I could think of for her to be white with purple fur.

I guess it's done.

Included my other forms.


Name: Helen "Hel"

Gender: Female

Age: 7 in cat years, 44 in human

Species: Luxio

Trainer: Johnna "Jo" Jane Gale

Personality: Helen is a very submissive Pokemon. She usually is staring at the floor, avoiding eye contact with anyone other than Jo, B, and Flut. She doubts herself a lot and tends to bring everyone else's burdens down on herself. Hel also likes to stay away from other Pokemon other than the others in her team. She's very shy and quiet. Her best friend is Jo, and vice versa.

Appearance: She is albino, pure white all over. Yet she has chocolate-brown eyes.

Other: Likes being read to, and will happily waltz over to anyone who has a book, despite her shyness.


Name: Baby Blue "B"

Gender: Female

Age: 1 in cat years, 15 in human years

Species: Eevee

Trainer: Johnna "Jo" Jane Gale

Personality: Baby Blue is very outgoing, always hopping about and boinging around without a care in the world. She enjoys meeting other Pokemon and trainers, and is friendly to everyone she meets. B also gets very disheartened sometimes, and unless she is praised or told she did a good job, she won't do anything like battle, perform, or do tricks. B is also very attatched to Helen, who she views as a big sister, and Flutter, who is like a father figure to her.

Appearance: A blue Eevee, with cream-coloured tail-tips and fluff.

Other: Has a thing against most male Pokemon except for Flutter.


Name: Flutter "Flut"

Gender: Male

Age: 72 in human years

Species: Butterfree

Trainer: Johnna "Jo" Jane Gale

Personality: Flutter is a very wise old Butterfree, being Johnna's mother's first Pokemon. When Jo's mother gave him to her, he vowed to always care for and protect Jo. He enjoys spending time with B and talking with Helen and practicing for the next upcoming contest. He enjoys taking care of younger Pokemon and spending time with other insects. Flut is also very protective of Jo and her team, always being the first Pokemon to be let out in a battle and occasionally popping out of his PokeBall to check in on her. He also thinks he is better than most other Pokemon since he has witnessed more things than the younger ones.

Appearance: A normal Butterfree, but he has a Quick Claw hanging around his neck like a necklace. It was a gift from Johnna's mother.

Other: Acts like a father to B.

Oh look, Exo's making an original character for on- *shot*

Name: Caitlin Felnas
Gender: Female
Age: 14

Pokemon:

Zrantox (see my previous post; played by Exo-Raikou)

Mohtrek [m] (blue, red, and green parts are a lot more "blended" into the gold and black, as if they were painted - one of Caitlin's primary fighters)

Avsa [f] (Has a very "feral" look to her - in particular, her fins are more "rigid" than normal; a savage attacker during battle as a result of being raised by Rockets)

Jutlin [m] (Nothing out of the ordinary)

Kadin [f] (Tail-tips are a more dull color, fur is longer than normal for the species)

Personality: If one were to summarize Caitlin, the words "very outspoken" immediately come up - there has almost never been a time where she hasn't said what she's thinking (obviously, this gets her into trouble on many occasions, as this can easily lead to her talking when she really shoudn't.) She comes off as rude because of this, but that's rarely her intention, she just thinks that telling people what you really think is the easiest way to get to know them. Unfortunately, the aspect doesn't always go two ways, as she'll usually fly away on her Sigilyph or leave in another manner if she doesn't find a conversation interesting (more than once, Zrantox or another one of her pokemon has stopped her from doing so.) Besides that, she's impatient, and prefers taking action as opposed to planning it.

Appearance: Stands at just under five and a half feet, tends to wear light blue pants along with a white shirt and light green jacket. She usually wears a dark grey hat, dark brown sandals, and her hair is somewhat long and brown

Bio: Caitlin was raised for ten years in Fuschia City, and constantly held a desire to see all of the world. When she eventually reached the age of ten, she was given a Sandile as a gift to start her journey with. She traveled the Kanto-Johto area for the next three years while adding to her team without any incident, but about half a year prior, a strange incident occurred: she was traveling to Cerulean when she was given a poke ball by a strange man in a lab coat, who promptly fled before telling her to "be careful with Avsa." She could only assume that "Avsa" was the pokemon in the poke ball, and accepted it without asking any questions.

That turned out to be a mistake, as she was attacked by two men in green suits about four hours after receiving Avsa (and getting to know the Vaporeon to the best of her ability). She was caught off guard, and fell unconscious, briefly seeing a large, phantasmal shape before blacking out. When she woke up, she was back in Rock Tunnel with a Dusknoir, who explained (in an unknown amount of time; see question in Other) that they were after Avsa, and now that she has the Vaporeon, she's a marked target. The Dusknoir went on to explain that it would probably be for the best if they abandoned Avsa, but Caitlin refused - she wanted to do what she could to at least make sure that the Vaporeon would be in the hands of someone that wouldn't abuse it.

Surprised by this reply, the Dusknoir decided to stay with Caitlin, and the two formed an odd friendship over the months while fighting off other men in green that were coming after them. As time went on, it became clear that the men in green wanted Avsa less and just wanted Caitlin out of the way more. It reached a point where two platoons of these men were sent after her, and the overwhelming forces of all of their pokemon finally knocked Caitlin down. At this point, the enemy knows that to reunite Caitlin with her pokemon would be a suicidal idea...

Other: Within moments after this is posted, Zrantox's form will be appropriately edited. Also, what are the limits of pokemon-human communication? Same as anime? Different? Other?

Pokemon can talk to humans in this, right?

ooh look, it's a finished form!

Name: Leon
Gender: Male
Age: 13 and a half

Pokemon:

(f) [Templar] His blades are sharper than usual, and he has a series of chinks and scratches in his armor.

(f) [Verdi] Nothing to note.

(m) [Aur] His spikes are bronze instead of silver.

(m) [Nightshade] Nothing to note.

(m) [Blade] His blades are equally as sharp as Templar's(sharper than a normal gallade's), as they trained with each other.

(f) [Meteon] nothing to note.

Personality: Leon is very timid, but he will fight if he needs to. He is also a bit reckless, and he has a good sense of humor. He is sometimes thought of as a geek, always keeping his head in books.

Appearance: Leon has an average height and weight for a fourteen year old. He has blue-green eyes, and he has had to wear glasses since he was five. He has brown, shoulder length hair, which is usually unkempt. He always carries around a textbook, titled Complete Pokemon Battle Strategy, Grade 12 and a notebook which contains his own personal battling strategies and tactics.

Bio: Born in the small town of Petalburg in the Hoenn region, Leon's potential to be a pokemon trainer was evident from birth. One night, a Ralts teleported accidentally into his crib, and he bonded with it. when he turned eight, he was accepted into one of the most prestigious battling schools in the region. When he returned, he knew nearly everything there was to konw about the world of pokemon. The Ralts then became his first pokemon. He set out on his journey, and evolved his Ralts into a Kirlia.

The most memorable day in his life was when he tripped over a sparkling stone, which sparkled like the dawn. Picking it up, he decided, as a nice gesture, to give it to his Kirlia. When he did, Kirlia started to glow. after about 30 seconds, a Gallade stood in its place. Later in his journey, he traveled to unova and added a few new pokemon to his team.

Before he was captured, Leon had just reached the Pokemon Center near Mt. Silver. After giving his pokemon to the nurse, he was knocked unconscious and dragged off somwhere.

Other: will have a relationship with Twilight Sparkle's charachter, and will edit Bio at a later point to m,ake said relationship make sense. (if that's okay.)

Name: Starr Diamond
Gender: Female
Age: 18

Pokemon:

[Empress] Empoleon (F)
[Poe] Honchkrow (M) - he is a great deal older than Starr's other Pokemon
[Orion] Clefable (M)
[Sputnik] Metagross (X) - Shiny
[Blue Moon] Umbreon (F) - Shiny - Usually just called Blue
[Ravi] Espeon (M)


Personality: aaaa can I PO this?

Appearance: Starr is a slender girl, and rather on the tall side. Her hair is long and a dark blue-black that falls down in waves to her waist. Her eyes are blue, and her face is round and she has delicate features. She has many minor scars from her years working with Pokemon on her hands and arms.

She prefers to wear tight-fitting jeans and a low cut tank top, with her Pokeball belt slung loosely around her waist and a pale sea green messenger bag.

Bio: Despite being born to quite young parents, Starr had a very good childhood, her mother's parents and father's grandparents helping in her care. She grew up on a Pokemon daycare, raised alongside the creatures. She developed a strong sense of empathy for them, leaning to care for them and train them under her father's teachings.

When she was a young teenager, she set out with a Piplup her mother had given her fore her trainer's journey. she took the gym challenge, as most young ones did, but she also spent a lot of time doing research about her grandfather. She learned all she could, taking quite eagerly to his ideals and plans. She sought him out, travelling to the farthest reaches of Sinnoh in her quest. When she at last found him, deep in a hidden cave, she pleaded with him to come back, to lead his followers to fulfill that lofty goal.

When he refused, she told him she would do it herself, no matter what he or any other would do to stop her. He commended her spunk, and gave her his Honchkrow as a gift. She left to revive Team Galactic despite her young age, working tirelessly in secret to recreate the group's former glory. She gathered an underground following, acquired a HQ, and began to plan.

However, this was interrupted by the...unpleasantness caused by Lance, when Starr was hauled away.

Other: herpderp

You know, I think we have enough people to start this up. Or at least add everyone who joined to the list on the first post...

Either way, I'll be making one last character:

Name: Struve
Gender: Male
Age: 57
Species: Hydreigon

Trainer: Myles, played by me, Exo-Raikou

Personality: Struve is... an oddity. There are times where all three of his heads speak simultaneously, giving him a more "legion" feel, there are times where they speak only in fragments (which would form a sentence if strung together,) and there are times where they're not speaking coherently at all - their personalities are separate from one another. Besides this, he is very protective of Myles, for several reasons, among which include him being Myles' first pokemon, and (obviously) Myles' leg, and it reacts violently when said leg takes even more abuse. He also seems to get mad when someone asks how the leg got crippled to begin with.

Appearance: Struve resembles a large, three-headed dragon with ragged wings, and where his hands would be are now heads instead. His wings have a very skeletal look to them, and because of the aforementioned occasional split personality, the heads are seen talking amongst themselves quite often. He has the normal color scheme of a Hydreigon, though: dark blue, dull red, and black.

Other:

Oh, I remember this. I think I'll recycle an old character from the last one, and before...

Name: Arthur Goodman, aka Spike

Gender: ♂

Age: 23

Pokémon:

♀: Tanya: (Played by Alraune) She is about 30 feet long, with pristine beige, blue, and red scales, and long, silky red fins. She is extremely intelligent and has the ability to speak and understand English, and her singing voice can connect with those who listen on a subconscious level. Tanya was Spike's first Pokémon, as well as his most trusted

♂: Kochi: He is bigger and broader than most Vaporeon - about 4'1" tall at the forehead and 12 feet long including tail - and appears to be significantly overweight, due to a love of eating. Oh, but did I mention he's lavender? No? As an Eevee he was almost pure white, with red eyes, and now that he's evolved, he remains a very light shade for a shiny Vaporeon. Like most Vaporeons, he has the ability to melt into a transparent, liquid form. It's similar to water, except much more coagulated and viscous, so that he doesn't dissipate.

♀: Aria: The next member to Spike's team is soft, squishy, and oh, so cute! The green parts of her body are lighter and somewhat brighter, more comparable to the color of a lime, while her blue underside is a little darker than average. She's about 4'3" tall and weighs well over a hundred pounds. She loves food and attention by humans, especially being hugged, and will eat just about anything. She also has a crush on Kochi, after seeing him transform into liquid form, which was one of the reasons she 'let herself' be caught, to join the team.

: Waruvial (need to name): See Wargle's linked post. He needed a trainer, so I agreed to pick him up.

Personality: Spike is normally relaxed and laid back. He likes meeting people, surfing, and especially his Pokémon.

Appearance: Spike is not a tall guy, at 5'8", but he's well toned and tanned. He's thin and handsome, with deep, brown eyes and relatively long, dark, shaggy hair, down to his shoulders. He often wears blue and red in his swimsuits.

Bio: Spike is a Pokémon Coordinator, originally from Hoenn, who's made quite a name for himself over the last decade. He was born in Dewford Town, where he took surfing lessons from the local Gym Leader, Brawly. Brawly was also the one who gave Spike his nickname and his very first Pokémon, a Feebas, at the age of 7. At first, the Feebas, named Tanya, was kept as a family pet, yet she quickly became Spike's anchor during his childhood studies, as he would keep her aquarium with him whenever he was in the house, and take her with him when he went swimming. She was always there for him if he needed someone he could talk to about anything, and while she never gave any signs, he always believed she was listening.

One night, as he was getting into bed and even started to close his eyes, he heard a soft, feminine voice speak to him.

"Thank you, Spike..."

At first, Spike thought it was his mom, so he opened his eyes and looked up and around, confused. But what he saw was not another human, but a shining, glowing white light, coming from his little aquarium.

"... Tanya?"

What happened next was incredible, as the little fish he had been raising suddenly grew, bursting apart his aquarium in the process, into an enormous, gorgeous sea serpent. Spike couldn't believe his eyes... she had to be the best Pokemon ever, everything he had dreamed one could be! Needless to say, he would need a bigger aquarium...

The next four years, Spike stayed around the island, training with Tanya, his now-Milotic. He learned that in addition to her physical talents and beauty, she was also incredibly smart, and she was capable of speaking, with an incredible singing voice. His singing voice was pretty good as well, and in addition to surfing and aquarial tricks, they added singing to their. The two of them finally decided that they would tour Hoenn together, to perform at the Pokemon Contests, showing off Tanya's mixture of Smarts and Beauty. The two of them took the contest world by storm, practically entrancing the audience with their song and acrobatics in the water. At the age of 16, Spike performed at Hoenn's Grand Festival, against the top coordinators from across the region, ones with by far more experience. While he didn't win, his top-four showing proved himself as a top up-and-coming coordinator.

The next year, Spike was hired with a three year contract at the Cerulean City Gym, in Kanto. He was a star attraction among others, giving performances with Tanya for the audiences. The two of them had grown pretty much inseparably close, but soon his group would grow a little. Only about a month after moving to Cerulean City, Spike found a young Eevee wandering the streets and alleys of the big city. It was small and nearly purely white, looking pale and sickly. He couldn't just leave the poor creature to die, and so he began to nurse it back to health. The Eevee, named Kochi, quickly grew, and Spike also got it acquainted with the water. After about a year, with Tanya's help, Spike learned that Kochi wanted to become a Vaporeon, to swim all day with them, and so he bought a water stone for him. Kochi also revealed himself to be quite smart, though perhaps scared of feeling the same lost, starving, hopeless way he did for his first couple weeks of life, he showed quite a love for eating and food, and was a little pudgy as a lavender Vaporeon. Eventually, he also became part of Spike's show, showing off an uncanny control over his water element, using his melting abilities and control of water to rather impressive extents.

After his contract in Cerulean was up, Spike spent a few years touring as a traveling coordinator. He first traveled to Sinnoh by cruise, landing in Sunyshore. It was in Sinnoh where he eventually found the third Pokémon member of his party, a little blue Shellos he named Aria. She's eventually evolved into a Gastrodon, and while she hasn't shown the same knack for exciting crowds as his other two Pokémon, she's a real hit with children.

A brief trip to Isshu allowed him to meet a Waruvial/Krookodile, currently the last member of his team

To celebrate his 23rd birthday, Spike was going to travel home to Dewford for the very first time in years, to be with his family and see Brawly once again. On the cruise, however, it was rumored there was a strong Rocket executive in hiding, and Spike got caught up in a sting operation, in a case of mistaken identity. The Trainers hunting the executive, not wanting to take any chances, just too into custody all the strongest non-government trainers to interrogate them all, figuring it was better to make sure the Executive was taken in than to leave the innocent alone. A trainer placed a sedative in Spike's wine during a dinner during the trip, and despite an attempt to protect him by Tanya, she was overpowered and he was taken in without even knowing what hit him. The ship never made it to Dewford, instead rerouted to parts unknown...

Other: If anyone would like to play any of my Pokémon, just let me know, and we can talk about them... Tanya especially deserves to be a separate character of her own.

Right, right. Apologies on my part. You'll all be added to the first post presently. It so happens that we're waiting on one more person, hopefully she finishes her signup tonight so I can get this show on the road.
