[OOC/Signup] Rise of Team Galactic

Kali -- whoa, that is the fattest flygon ever. You know they weigh like 180 pounds right? And they're about a foot shorter.

Name: Guy Fredricksen
Age: 34
Gender: male
Pokemon: Weezing (M)
Sharpedo (M)
Cacturne (M)
Typhlosion (M)
Cradily (M)
Girl pokemon seemed not to like him even when he was an attractive 12-year-old. What can he say.

Appearance: Guy just looks weathered and worn. He's really not that old, and he's relatively fit -- the wandering vagrant's life has treated him well so he's managed not to skin and bones -- it's just he doesn't take super great care of himself. He always looks a little overdue for a shave and has bags under his eyes. His hairline is already receding a little and it looks more salt-and-peppery than he'd like. Guy is tall and almost wiry and here, I'll draw a picture of his face for you:

8<

Personality: Guy is a crotchety old man. Or, well, he acts like it -- he's still relatively young, let's be honest, but he's made himself into the man down the street who yells at kids on his lawn and mumbles to himself about meddling kids. And since there seems to be a strange abundance of young trainers these days (bursting into houses unannounced, trying to bother him when he hasn't had coffee or at least a morning smoke, looking at him funny when all he did was either grunt or tell them to get out) he's rarely happy at any time of the day. He's really not a terrible guy -- he doesn't hate people, he's just got a temper a few inches long and his irritability has become habit.

Bio: A while back Guy decide he was freaking sick and tired of all these goddamn kids stomping through his yard like they owned the place and moved from little town Mauville to big city Rustboro, where he found that trainer brats still annoyed the hell out of him. He moved to Fallarbor -- no luck getting some peace and quiet. Goddamned middle-a-nowhere Sootopolis -- they still came. So he figured he'd move to another region and stuck himself in Oreburgh City, Sinnoh. Turns out Sinnoh was having an infestation of trainers, too, and oh, they had themselves a whole gym challenge and everything freaking christ.

Of course, waaay back when, Guy was a little kid trainer himself -- maybe not as pushy as these kids but he was still a trainer, and that meant visiting everyone everywhere. That also meant he had himself some pokemon, though they were just as happy as he was to sit at home, have a coffee, and glare a little at kids. However, all six of them realized that there would not be any sitting at home now that suddenly training pokemon was so popular, so they gave up on the whole settling down thing and did a weird backwards trainer thing and started wandering around the region, only settling down for days at a time. Sure, they passed for hobos a lot, but it got rid of the brats in their yard.

Other: He smokes. Drinks coffee. Gets hung over. HE'S AN ADULT
 
If you want me to go into a seminar about Flygon biology and inconsistancies in the Pokédex, I can. You'll probably be bored out of your mind. But the key is, the number I gave is very consistant with a creature that's over 15 feet long, if not undersized. How heavy would you be if you were 15 feet?
 
Hay just a heads-up, Im changing Eagun's team so his Shiny Gengar is now just Rotom.

I've edited my profile post to include that.

aaaaaaaaaaaa

Name: Simon Drepper

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Pokemon: [Frías] Gliscor [f]
[Gleep] Empoleon [m]
[Twiddle-Dee] Dodrio [m]
[Wit] Alakazam [f]
[Alain] Lopunny [m]
[Malwalkie Jones] PorygonZ [x]

Appearance: Unusually short for a 16 year old (think 5’1) he uses this to his advantage. Simon has a pair of goggles on his person, which don’t really do anything unless he goes down to the Underground. He wears a hand-me-down jacket from his sister, red in color and reaches down to his knees. His comfortable and easy to wear shorts are brown and tattered. He’s quite pale, considering his constant moving by underground routes, and his hair is a faded black-blue with a notable cowlick in the back. He wears a pair of cheap running shoes. All in all, pretty scrawny.

Personality: Quite timid and shifty, Simon can never seem to sit still. He avoids eye contact when speaking and is formal to people older then him by habit. He’s a notoriously big eater and heavy sleeper, so in order to get him roused from a nap, you’ll probably need an exploding Voltrob, and then he’s up for the rest of the day. His training style is type variety, which is why Alain and Jones are top attackers. His TM case is packed to bursting, and he holds a very good memory of attacks and their side effects. Simon gets startled easily when spoken to and would much rather hide in his cave now. Although smart, he's very prone to CloudCuckooLander tendencies ands falls prey to Buffy Speak.

Bio: Simon was born and raised in Twinleaf Town, and his father left for Johto to train again. He received his first Pokémon, Gleep, after a chance meeting with Professor Rowan. His house is made of him, an off-the-rails sister, a mother and a grandmother, who back in the day were a battling tag team of sorts. Training wasn’t completely his choice; after being assured that yes, we ladies can take care of ourselves without your father, thank you very much, he reluctantly left to train. Simon spent his days wandering Sinnoh, catching a Pokémon here or there and mostly trading and living in the Underground. Quite literally too – he bought the drill and furnished a nice little cave down there. Simon has been down there ever since he found out he could mine pretty shiny things down there, and only ‘surfaces’ for foodstuffs and training. He, surprisingly enough, has all eight badges, but that was more of a necessity in order to keep his Alakazam from not listening and frying everyone. Now with all this talk about Hearthome, he’s surfaced there.

Other: Sis may or may not show up (depends on if we need a mad bomber /pyro or not. We should though.) Oh, and he holds a lotta crap in his Trainer Bag.

Name: Devack Kessler
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Pokemon:

[Frollo] Absol [m]
[Kaa] Arbok [f]
[Facilier] Gengar [m]
[Scar] Luxray [m]
[Tremaine] Skarmory [f]

Appearance: Devack is tall, probably 6' 2" and comes off as imposing, since he is also well physically built. He usually wears a dark black jacket that has what looks like the etched out lines of a top-down view of a condor on it, and also usually wears dull grey pants. His hair is short, and is dark brown. Very little else about him is noteworthy, other than a scar on his right arm, which is only rarely seen due to the long sleeves of the jacket

Personality: To Devack, there are two types of people in this world: those whose actions are just, and therefore deserve life, and those whose actions are not just, and therefore cannot live. This vigilante style attitude also forces Devack into being a very antisocial man (though he does somewhat embrace this, thinking that those who strive toward creating a just world shouldn't need friends.) Because of this, he almost always acts cold toward others. In battle, he is a very analytical trainer, one person who battled him described it as "playing a pokemon-styled chess."

Bio: The reason for Devack's attitude traces back to his early life, near the climax of team Galactic's attacks on the region. Devack's entire family was killed by members of Team Galactic, merely because his parents wouldn't give them the Absol they had just been given (it was apparently on account of this Absol was particularly powerful.) Devack was horribly traumatized by this, and it took five whole years to come to grips with their deaths. By then, he was able to become an official trainer, so he began to travel to region with the Absol, and his travels eventually took him to Hoenn, whereupon another "incident" took place. Devack has refused to ever explain the details of that incident, only saying that it was because of that incident that he now fights for justice. Brutally fights, that is. Many known criminals in Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn have been brutally beaten, and in two instances, killed, by Devack. The aforementioned attacks have caused Devack to be (self) exiled from two of the regions, and when he fled from Johto, word reached his ears about Team Galactic activity in Hearthome. Devack is even now returning to Sinnoh, not caring about their plans; only wanting to exact his final vengeance upon Team Galactic.

Other: Sorry 'bout the lateness; I had an unexpected visit from my cousins up until this point. 1000 points to whoever guesses the references of his pokemon's nicknames. The incident will be revealed should the RP go on long enough. You know, for character development purposes.
 
They are all villainous characters from Disney movies.

[Frollo] Absol [m] - Hunchback of Notre Dame
[Kaa] Arbok [f] - Snake from Jungle Book
[Facilier] Gengar [m] Witch Doctor from the Princess and the Frog
[Scar] Luxray [m] Lion King
[Tremaine] Skarmory [f] Wicked Stepmother from Cinderella

+1000 points for me, plz & thnk u.
 
Yep. Each of them have a mostly vague association with their namesake as well, but most of them are probably obvious, while others require one to have seen (and often over-analyze) the movies to see the connections
 
Sorry. I put a pic because I can't draw worth a crap.

Name: Nelson Ryder
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Pokemon: (Up to six, no legendaries, and no teams entirely of rares/shinies/etc)

[Razor] Charizard (M) (Is Shiny)

[Blade] Breloom (M) @ Toxic Orb & Poison Heal

[Bayer] Bronzong (X) (Reffered to as Male), Levitate

[Aqua] Dewgong (F)

[Storm] Rampardos (M)

[Drac] Dragonite (M)

Appearance: Nelson has Black hair with blood-red highlights. His eyes are a contrasting green. He wears a black T-Shirt with a kind of cartoon skull on it and wears a Crimson overcoat. His pants are beige with many pockets.

Personality:

Other:

I'll fill the rest in later.
 
Name: Mina Sokoll
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Pokemon:

[Amaturasu] Lucario (Female)

[Anona] Banette (Female)

[Niflheim] Ariados (Female)

[Itziar] Aerodactyl (Female)

[Jin] Magneton (X)

[Nishe] Porygon-2 (X)

Appearance: Mina is fairly tall and slender, standing roughly 5'9", though her slouched posture and dress can make this less than obvious. She has an oversized grey hoody with a large zipper, preferring to wear the hood up, a pair of black slacks with innumerous pockets, and a pair of black suede buckled boots mostly tucked under them. This along with the brace bandage on her left wrist tends to give off vibes of a scrappy streeter. Her hair and face seem fairly well kept, hair a rather stunning brunette and worn at shoulder-length with long, parted bangs, although at a closer glance the bags under her eyes suggest quite a lot of sleeplessness.

Personality: ((PO please do not like personality fields >: ))

Bio: Born in Mahogany Town, Mina was moved to Jubilife City in Sinnoh at an early age to live with her aunt and uncle after certain circumstances forced her family to split . Although she has little contact with them, she has a great interest in entering business with Pokemon in a similar vein to what they've relayed.
Her relatives themselves have fairly significant assets (After all have you seen the living costs in Jubilife?) which allowed Mina to attend a good school, in both the traditional sense and as a trainer. She's highly skilled with computers and tech and works with her Porygon, Nishe, in both programming and hacking.
As a trainer, she is considered rather good - but is mostly disinterested with the 'Gym Challenge' set. All her Pokemon are self-trained, and she seems to have a good sense for connection with them despite what her appearence and demeanour with others may suggest.


Other: She's also a hopeless insomniac, addicted to coffee, and has more than a few problems with Galactic.
 
Name: Arnold Larx
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Pokemon:

[Teddy] Shiny Teddiursa (M)
[Fluffy] Altaria (F)
[Mr. Wiggles] Cradily (M)
[Woofy] Arcanine (M)
[Maria] Manectric (F)
[Belly] Metagross (X)

Appearance: Arnold has a pretty lanky body and about 5'6". People say that he has a swimmer's body, like a cone. He usually has his light blue hoodie on with faded black stitching on the left shoulder. The stitching reads "Never forget". Underneath, his shirt is a black UnderArmour shirt, tight around his body. His pants are black skinny jeans worn, faded and ripped. His shoes are just a plain pair of white and blue Nikes, dirtied from being worn so much. He's tanned and has ice blue eyes. His hair is black and has streaks of red layered in.

Personality: Arnold is pretty much your normally wacko college kid. He's just an average Joe. People claimed that he was a good kid but changed after high school. He is usually active and outdoors. He often does beat up people he doesn't like but when it comes to Pokemon, he puts them first. He loves Pokemon and treats them like family. He can have mood swings like a normal kid/teen/adult. Most of the time, Arnold has a carefree personality.

Bio: Arnold first lived in Verdanturf City but later moved to Mauville City because of the lack of modernization. His parents are world renown Pokemon Breeders. Because they traveled so much as he got older, Arnold often stayed at his grandparents house, the Daycare Couple. One day, a Trainer with white hair and a bandanna came in and left his Teddiursa and Zangoose to breed. Later he came back to find an egg. The Trainer grinned and gave the Arnold the egg. Arnold was amazed. His parents had experience with eggs but never let him touch them. This was the first egg he ever touched. Arnold hatched the egg to find out it was a green Teddiursa! The Trainer kept on going back. Each time, the Trainer would chose specific Pokemon eggs to let Arnold keep. But one day the Trainer left. The Trainer just ran in to take his Pokemon and was never saw again. Arnold swore to himself that he would find this Trainer and thank him. So Arnold decided it was time to grow and take on the world. Right now, Arnold is in Sinnoh, looking for the Trainer. He doesn't care much for Gyms but he does train his Pokemon and catches them too.

Other: Nothing really. He doesn't have a Pokedex?
 
Name: Sterling Young
Age: 19
Gender: Female

Pokemon:
[Alnilam/Epsilon] Porygon-z
[Alnitak/Zeta] Porygon (modified)
[Mintaka/Delta] Ditto
[Rigel/Beta] Jolteon (M)
[Bellatrix/Gamma] Beedrill (F)
[Saiph/Kappa] Bronzong

Appearance: Sterling has long, dark hair that reveals itself as blue against a source of light, and eyes that are almost aqua. She wears large, durable sunglasses that have survived many a claw, either on her forehead or hanging from her neck. She wears a t-shirt, long pants, a belt, and white rain boots that, like her sunglasses, are more durable than they seem. Also, very comfortable. Despite their length (halfway up her shin, but mostly hidden under her pants), they are rather easy to run in.

She doesn't wear fancy clothes, but she does have some impressive technology that hints at wealth. A hyperspace bag, for one, which are usually only used by the richest trainers. It holds, among other things, a couple of collapsible bikes, high-quality medicine, evolution stones, cooking materials, and a variety of fairly expensive technologies that probably cost more to make robust. Also: nuggets, stardust, and star pieces. Many trainers purchase such things on their journeys, of course, but most of those at least get their names on records of tournaments or otherwise become mildly famous.

Personality: (We can PO? I shall PO then.)

Bio: Sterling was two years old when her father disappeared, but she grew up learning stories about him - he was a wonderful trainer, she was told, a powerful man who treated pokemon not as tools but as extensions of himself. He had a great vision, shared with Sterling's mother and a few other trusted people. He was amazing at working with machines, but he also knew the most obscure legends, which Sterling's mother read to her every night. He wanted to make the world a better place, and his technological advances were of the likes that the world had never seen - and never would, because he wouldn't let anything dangerous fall into the hands of the ignorant public.

For a few years, she was raised by a large family of mostly unrelated people, all of whom helped her with her studies or pokemon training. There were other children, too, but Sterling didn't spend much time with them. She preferred the company of porygon and magnemite, and when unlikely to explode, voltorb. She also had a bit of fun with ditto, who could be the ultimate toy. Porygon made better pets, though, since they could be modified to act however she wanted.

She stopped seeing this extended family around the same time as her move to a new home, a laboratory where she could perform experiments and study pokemon directly. Her overseer liked muk and koffing for some reason. And torturing rattata (she didn't understand the scientific purposes for this until later, and she never understood what was so special about a muk). Sterling herself preferred to modify porygon or see what she could do with them, especially since there weren't many people even in the lab that could get around the copyright safeguards. She could have become the leader at the age of seventeen, maybe, if she'd focused enough, but she didn't - she also dedicated herself to training her pokemon and not being like half the scientists, who seemed to be recluses. She never bothered with playing at the gyms, though; there was always some teenager around to fight.

In recent times, when Team Galactic has been trying to make a comeback - well, she was only a child when they were active, but she knows who they are. The stories may be all she has, but it's the same with her father, too, and she modelled her life path after his. The stories colour how she sees Team Galactic - and what she intends to do in response to their revival. She left the lab to do what she thinks she's meant to do, and in her opinion, she's made some good progress.

I would like to point out that jolteon wish-healed Huygens, so he can't really be described as "the grunt with the injured arm".

Also Exo-Raikou your previous post implied you were fairly far away, and uh... I'm not sure how you ran all the way to us without a teleport. Unless the circling was very slow and you started running as soon as you saw skarmory start circling (it's written as though you waited for the screech, which was just before the dive, and then started running), you basically got to skarmory in less than a second. The fire blast happened at the start of the dive, after all.

The fire blast was pretty much immediately after your post, and the first thunderwave maybe eight seconds later.
 
Understood (stupid misinterpretation failings.) I shall delete my previous post, and recreate an entirely new one. I apoligize for not thinking ahead.
