[Closed] The Program (OOC + Signups)

THIS IS HOW WE BLEED
It is a dark future. The art of Pokemon battling has become less of a draw than they once were. In an attempt to find entertainment, the combined governments of the four regions created... The Program.

The Program gathers a group of young trainers, strips them of their own Pokemon, and sets them loose with a 'rental' Pokemon on a large island. The goal: Kill each other until only one is left for the amusement of the people.

This has been going on for a few years now, and you may have watched past Programs. But nothing could prepare you for when you awoke in a large classroom of sorts along with a group of others, and were told where you were...

Good luck. You'll need it.


Rules:
-All the usual things; if you haven't read the guidelines, I don't want you
-NOMNOM chatspeak
-Your characters will probably die in this, since it is a Battle Royale RP.
-Once you do die, you can post commentary here if you want.
-Put the smiley face that I put somewhere in this post in your form. Yes, I feel like being a jerk.
-Please, Please don't magically be able to avoid any attacks on you, and in the same vein, don't be 'Oh my attack hit you you die', since you can be wounded, and attacks miss!
-ASB and MD style - all moves, all abilities.

Notes:
-You can take the Pokemon from anyone you kill
-If you guys want a map, I can put one together.
-You can band together and try to take down the Program if you want... it just won't be easy. >:3

My Form:

Name: Tem Whyte
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Number: 8

Appearance: Tem is a stocky and muscular youth, standing at about 5 feet and 6 inches tall. His hair is a very pale blond, almost white looking, which falls to his shoulder blades when down, but he usually wears it up in a ponytail at the top of his head. He wears a black headband with a red Pokeball on it. He is wearing a pair of black bike shorts, a red sweater, and a pair of red running shoes, which is what he had on when he came to the Island. His eyes are a pale blue.

Biography: Tem is the son of a gym leader, and was raised around Pokemon his entire life, so he grew used to battling at an early age. His twin sister, Tsuki, and him were inseparable from birth, and the two did everything together. At the age of ten, their father gave them their first Pokemon, and they were a double team. Soon after, however, Tem and Tsuki went their own ways; him becoming a dragon trainer, and her a water trainer. The two are still close, however.

Personality: Tem is brave and outgoing, taking charge even under great pressure. He is protective of his sister, and would fight to the death for her. He has a soft spot for dragon type Pokemon, as well as Minuns, since he used one for a long time. His battle style is that of a quick beatdown.

Other: Tsuki, his sister, is moony's char

Re: The Program (OOC + Signups)

I wish the old Battle Royale was still alive D:

Name: Acuity
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Number: 3

Appearance: Acuity has bright blonde hair and blue eyes. She's a bit on the short side, and very thin. She can hit pretty hard, though, when she wants to. Her fingers are long, and also unnaturally skinny. She has a small, circular scar on her forehead, but it's usually covered by her hair (and is almost unnoticeable anyway). She can't remember where or how she got it; she guesses she got it when she was very young.

Biography: Acuity was born in Snowpoint City in Sinnoh, and named after the nearby Lake Acuity, alleged home of Uxie. She lived a good, normal life... until she turned eleven years old.

On October 13th, exactly three months after her eleventh birthday and the mark of her first-year anniverssary of trainerhood, she was contacted by her best friend's mother. Apparently, both of her parents had vanished the night before. There were only two traces of any violence:

1. There was blood splattered on the sofa, identified by DNA testing as her father's.
2. There were two pairs of footprints going in the house, and one coming out. A few drops of her father's blood were in the outward-heading footprints, and one long, brunette hair, belonging to her mother.

The local police had tracked the footprints to the lake she had been named after, and found both bodies in the lake. Both were burned beyond the point of recognition, and dental records were needed.

They never found out exactly what happened; there were no signs of a third person, and the only two people who had definitely been involved were dead. Acuity was urged to go back immediately, as the friend's mother, the same one who had called her, had agreed to take custody of her; the house had been searched, but no will from either parent was found. Out of grief, though, she fled to the nearby Hoenn region by stowing away on a ferry, and was charged with being a runaway, and also wanted for questioning about her parents' deaths.

A police officer in Fallarbor Town caught her while she was stealing food from someone's kitchen, and arrested her. While she was being escorted to the station, though, she ordered her Drapion to kill him, which he did. However, he also got shot in the process, and died later. Reenforcements arrived after hearing the gunshot, and took over. When she refused to go back home or go to prison, they instead signed her up for The Project, figuring that she wouldn't survive or would be horribly mentally scarred, being the youngest contestant (and apparently the one with the most violent history).

Personality: Acuity is very quiet and timid, and hides a lot to avoid attention. When she is provoked, she fights viciously, and with disregard to her own safety. She is very kind to those she trusts, but it's very hard to earn her trust, and she is extremely suspiscious of everyone. Most of the ones she trusts are actually Pokemon, who she loves and is highly interested in. She hates the authorities, and thinks that they're unnecessarily cruel and pretty much jerks.

Other: No there's nothing special about the scar. I just put it there for it to be there >:3

Damn, I do have a violent history o.o

Re: The Program (OOC + Signups)

I have a question, how will you choose the random Pokémon, really? Will you use the random sprite generator or something?
 
Re: The Program (OOC + Signups)

Very well then, I reserve number 9.

Also. do you only use fully evolved or about any expect legendary? I have a hard time thinking a Metagross vs Sunkern would be fair.
 
Re: The Program (OOC + Signups)

I'm using what the generator spits out, unless it's a legendary. And also, it's not supposed to be fair, since in the actual Battle Royale, some people had high-powered machine guns and stuff, while others had like... forks. C: It's all about how you use it.
 
Re: The Program (OOC + Signups)

I bet just because I mentioned that I'm going to get a freaking a Jigglypuff, :C
 
Re: The Program (OOC + Signups)

Oooh, such a vicious RP >:3. I am interested

Name: Allyana Johanneson Leighdeist
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Number: 6

Appearance: Allyana wears the standard schoolgirl outfit, blue skirt and yellow jumper with a white-T underneath. Standing 5'8", she is average height.

Biography: Allyana is perhaps one of the most wanted girls in the class, being beautiful, smart, kind-hearted and adorably clumsy. She only recently began pokemon training last year, but made surprising progress in her training thanks to her obsessive determination and training routine. Despite her success as a pokemon trainer, her personality doesn't bode well for her performance in The Program, and already people are making bets on when she will lose.

Personality: Kind though sometimes hard to understand, she is someone who really lives their lives based on a balance of their desires and their morals.

Re: The Program (OOC + Signups)

If someone gets a basic Pokemon you could make it final evolution, then.. :<

Name: Vai Kisubo
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Number: 4

Appearance: She stands at about 5'9", and is East Asian. Vai has black hair, brown eyes, and wears a simple plain brown jacket over a plain white shirt and darker brown cargo pants. She's rather skinny, and wears baggy clothes to make her look bigger. In the many pockets of her pants, she keeps various pointy objects she threatens people with, however, they were taken away from her.

Biography: Vai's lived in Fallarbor Town all her life, in Hoenn. She often got detentions and was blamed for anything that went wrong at school, until she stole a knife from her stepdad's workshop and went on a mad rampage. Her parents decided to sent her away, maybe to terrorize some people with Pokemon, or whatever. She was on her way to Littleroot Town to get her starter Pokemon when she was chosen for the Program and kidnapped. She knows a good chunk about Pokemon, however.

Personality: Vai is rather vicious for a sixteen year old. She would kill, if she could, and just got her chance. She doesn't try to make friends, but allies herself with stronger people if they can help her. She only thinks about herself, not about anyone else, her Pokemon, or anything. She devotes all her time to studying Pokemon battling, and has watched the Program for a while, and enjoyed it. She thought about signing up for the Program for a while, before giving that up.

Other: >:3 Let's mix things up a bit. Notice 'a bit'.

Re: The Program (OOC + Signups)

Name: Minnie Cervantes
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Number: 5

Appearance: Minnie has longish-purple hair, with white ribbons tied into it, and bright purple eyes. Her customary apparel is a white, longsleeved shirt and a bright green skirt.

Biography: Minnie grew up in Pacifilog, Hoenn, where she watched many previous Programs, getting some odd enjoyment from watching several young students suffer and die. As a sprouting Pokemon trainer, she loved to see trainers lose to her, even though the number was much less than she had hoped.

Personality: Don't lether innocent appearance fool you; Minnie is, in a few words, absolutely demented. When armed with a Pokemon, she can be dangerous, and being on an island with the sole purpose being to kill every other person certainly won't help. She loves to put on an act, pretending to be cute and innocent in order to get an ally, only to backstab them later. >:3

Other: Oh, come on, we need somebody to be extra insane.

Okay, ze profile is done.

Re: The Program (OOC + Signups)

Name: Raiha (Real name Jonathan Laurel)

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Number: 11

Appearance: About 5'7, black hair cut into a buzzcut and tanned skin. Dark brown eyes, and has a small goatee, but is otherwise cleanly shaven. Wearing a button-up shirt with a tie, and a black vest with white lining over it, and also a dark blue pair of jeans. Also wearing a red hat, and a diagonal shoulder strap for Pokeballs. Has a pair of black jordans, which he loves, and normally carries around a knife in his breast pocket. Has a pair of black gloves in his pocket that he'll put on when battling if he wants to look 'cool'.

Biography: Raiha's life was quite the ordinary until he hit the age of 14. Most kids went out training when they were ten, but his parents wouldn't let him. For 4 years he had to endure jealousy while everyone around him had adventures with his Pokemon, until he couldn't take it anymore. He stormed out of his house, taking along a few possessions, and went out on his own. When he went to the Professor, he couldn't get a Pokemon without his parents' permission, so he scrapped that idea and went into the wild to find one. When that was also unsuccessful, and almost resulted in him getting pretty hurt, he settled on going to school, where if you learned about Pokemon for a while, you'd get your own for free. Nobody questioned where his parents were, and he proved himself a large talent in the field of battling, both in practical and written portions, despite having no Pokemon himself.

Personality: Laughs easily, can be a bit perverted at time. Doesn't like people who are super serious, but he doesn't like people who act too crazy, either. He himself is a bit of a showboat, and he'll act a fool whenever he says a pretty girl around. This has not ended well for him.

Other: He is quite accomplished in street fighting, for he gets in brawls at school sometimes for his success, or his friendliness to other people's girlfriends. :(

Re: The Program (OOC + Signups)

Name: Arneel Rodgers (Calls himself Backstab)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Number: 1

Appearance: Average height male with muscular build. His brown hair is usually covered by some form of baseball cap, and slightly baggy pants and shirts help to give the illusion that he is not nearly in as good of shape as he is. He wears a backpack at all times that is woven with a special material that prevents x-ray screenings- In this he carries, buried under basic travel supplies, a ninja-yori and a small knife, and several shuriken.

Biography: Backstab's father was the winner of one of the first programs when just a boy, but only barely. When he left he dedicated his life to preparing himself for something like this in the future- And so he trained under the gym leader Koga. After years, the man fell in love with who would eventually become his wife, and they started a family. When Rodgers learned that the Program was not a one-time event, he became worried for his children- Who were at the time starting to become old enough to be trainers themselves. He trained his children in the ninja arts that he had learned from Koga- His eldest son was the best pupil. His father would not let him out into the world to begin his journey until he decided upon a codename for himself- He chose the name "Backstab", and set out.

Personality: One might think a ninja would have honor- And this one might, as long as honor was part of whatever cover he is currently using. Backstab is willing to use any and all methods to achieve his goals- And when survial itself is at stake, all of his ninja training comes into play. Part of this training was to trust only three things- Himself, his weapons, and his Pokemon.

Other: As a result of his training, Backstab is proficient in hand-to-hand combat and is resourceful enough to use most anything as a weapon. He can also be very stealthy when need be. Of course, ninja training does not give one superpowers- He's still a human. He's just a human trained for battle.

Backstab is unlikely to ever use the Pokemon given to him in the contest- It took him years to train the team he had in a way that he was satisfied, and a rental would not have the training he is used to.

Pretend I put a smiley in here somewhere
 
Re: The Program (OOC + Signups)

Momoharu - if you could write just a tad more please... Also, the bolds tags are there for a reason; please use them, it makes it easier to read.

Everyone else: Accepted and reserved, but Mr. President (x3), keep in mind they will have removed the weapons while your character was passed out. C: thank you.
