• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Dreams of the Past [OOC - Signups]

I didn't post my sign up yet? Hm.

Name: Mist
Gender: Female
Species: Drapion
Age: 16 before being put into the chambers.
Description: Drapion is a scorpion that looks much unlike a scorpion. Its head is round and dark purple with a wide mouth, lined with a few small teeth. White tendrils coming from each side of the mouth make Drapion look somewhat like it has a mustache. It has three spikes on its head, two where the bridge of a human's nose would be and one on the top. Beside each of the two middle spikes are white eyes with blue lids that almost seem to go off of the head.
Oddly, Drapion's arms appear as if they are attached to its head. They are segmented like accordions, and the segments start large at the shoulders and get smaller as the arms continue. There are five segments on each arm, and they alternate in color from dark purple to lavender, the first segment being the former. The fifth segment is actually a hand-like appendage with two white, curving claws that mirror each other and a blue spot on top of the "hand."
Its long body is segmented much like its arms; however, there are 12 segments on its body in total, and they start lavender and alternate from there. The fifth and sixth segments are much larger than the other ones, being the stomach of Drapion. Drapion has four legs coming from these segments, but the legs don't have any feet; typical insect legs, even though Drapion is based off of an arachnid.
The last six segments of Drapion's body are its tail. The last one looks much like its claws.
Personality: With an aggressive personality, Mist won't give up a fight at all. She uses her claws to attack and defend, and thus is a very experienced battler. It's hard for her to trust new people, since she is a born fighter and thus always jumps to conclusions with others. That conclusion is usually that they are enemies and must be driven away. If one is stronger than her and manages to defeat her, Mist will see that one as a friend but never as a superior. It is extremely hard to trick Mist, due to her high intelligence.
Bio: Mist actually had many trainers. Originally, she was caught as an adamant Skorupi in the Great Marsh, located in Pastoria, Sinnoh, and neither she nor her trainer had an idea that she would be trained to be one of the best. She was quite the fighter, and evolved quickly, but was put into the chambers and didn't understand. This is the reason that she doesn't like others in general.

I'm guessing this is the first post on the third page. 41st post :P
 
Hey, guess who's back? =D And overloaded with stuff, so once I get over unpacking, and hugging everyone and having an orthodontics appointment, I'll post. So, tomorrow or after tomorrow, DotP will start!

Registration will still be open, as I need to pester people who promised to join. XD
 
Well, here's what I have. I'm only looking for Tanya to be accepted right now though.


Name: Terrance (Terry) Johnson
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Age: 54
Description:
Personality: (Two lines at the least, please.)
Bio: Head of the company that financed the dig operation. See Tanya's bio.

To be finished later - won't include him until he's finished. Right now, this is just to point out that he exists.



Name: Tanya
Gender: Female
Species: Milotic
Age: 48
Description: Tanya is nearly 40 feet long, with smooth, pearly scales that glisten and sparkle when wet. She has long, pinkish-red fins, with a hairlike ribbon texture, the strands held together until maybe a foot away from the ends, at which point they separate and area allowed to move any which way. Her deep red, mystical-looking eyes have a kind of hypnotic allure to them.
Personality: (Steals my own personality from a different RPG:p) Tanya's often seen as an enigma to others. To some, she can seem warm and motherly, and can be very wise and helpful, teaching and giving advice. To others, she's seen as a ruthless, vindictive bi... individual, one to be shunned and feared. Still others see her as an object of desire, sly and crafty in using her natural beauty. So which of these is true? The answer: yes. She can be all of these, depending on her mood, and depending on how she sees others. And she can change between these seemingly incompatible personalities in the blink of an eye. So what is she? What remains through it all is, she's a bright, cunning individual, vain and slightly spoiled, with an essence of superiority and a desire for more.
Bio: Tanya is Terry's beloved pet... and the real brains behind the company. Terry found her as a child, washed up on the shore of a small lake on their property. She was only a young Feebas at the time, very weak and sickly. He took her in and nursed her to health, and even though at times it looked like she wouldn't make it, he never gave up. Eventually, his efforts paid off. She recovered and seemed very happy with him, But it wasn't until a couple years later that she really showed her worth, when she finally evolved. At the time, Terry was just an average 10-year-old student in grade school, but the new Milotic began to study and learn alongside him, and helped him through much of his schooling. Soon, it was Tanya, rather than Terry, that was the brains between the two of them, and while Terry was more than happy to let Tanya do the work, he liked to take the credit, and she seemed more than happy to let him. Through a number of carefully-planned moves, Terry moved his way up through the business world, but Tanya was right there to guide him, eventually culminating leading his own startup company to success. Lately, Tanya has been speaking highly about this dig opportunity, and convinced Terry to fund the operation, heading there herself to oversee it.
 
Ooh, I like this character. Accepted, and I await Terry's finished app. :P

Edit: Nevermind. Registration is still open, but DotP is starting as of now~
The thread is here.

Have I really not re-signed up for this yet? O_o

Name: Blizzardi

Gender: Female

Species: Ambipom

Age: 14 when put into chambers

Description: Ambipom is built for agility. Compared to its slim body, its head is large and round. It has short legs and two tails which it uses for hands. Blizzardi is no different; she was specially trained for being speedy, giving her a slight advantage over heavier, bulkier foes. Using her tails as hands leaves her free to run around on her feet, which sometimes aids her agility.
Personality: Although her species seems like a hyper one, Blizzardi is fairly relaxed. When she's not in the excitement of battle, she likes to explore nearby areas such as the woods. If she finds something like a berry, she'll get really happy, and either save it or eat it depending on how juicy it looks. She saves only the most plump berries.

Blizzardi can be a bit rude sometimes, but she tries her best to be friendly. She likes fighting but not arguing; there is a difference. If she's grumpy, she'll either leave others alone or cool down with some training on a tree stump or something.

Bio: A sleeper.

Two points to make here:

1. Since the RP is starting back up, perhaps we should restart discussion in the DotP lounge for plot points and such.

2. Cryptica's not recycling her old character? Disappointment!
 
The only other option I see would be to just start back up the old one. I'm fine either way; I just want to see the lounge get back up and running.
 
Ooh, it's back!

Question: Am I allowed to reuse my old form? Like, I want to use Mourmedy again... do I have to type out a new form or no?
 
And if she's back... *sinister laughter* I can make her go crazy again! it will feel like the old RP more and more.
 
Name: 63
Gender: Male
Species: Manectric
Description: Where a normal Manectric is blue, 63 is a deep black.
Age: 18 when put into the chamber.
Personality: 63 is a little quiet, often choosing not to speak, in order to not accidentally make himself look like a fool. However, 63 does have a kind heart and has a small enjoyment in helping others. Unfortunately, due to his amnesia, he trusts people a little too easily. From this he is also a bit naive. Despite being naive, 63 is pretty intelligent.
Bio: 63 was one of the last Pokemon to be placed in the sleeping chambers. Unfortunately, due to a reaction between his mind and the sleeping gas, he does not remember anything that happened to him prior to being awakened. He took the name "63" from a number placed on the outside of his chamber.

There's going to be quite a bit of interaction between Zemhal and 63, and eventually Zemhal is going to take control of 63's mind in an attempt to lure the other Pokemon to him.
 
Finally dug up the old thing~ I made some very minor tweaks, but it's essentially the same.

And naaah, I'm not THAT good. I'm just good at being absolutely insane.

Can't wait for this to start!

Name: Mourmedy

Gender: Female

Species: Human

Age: 28

Description: Mourmedy is a quite intimidating individual, despite her short stature. (Standing at around 5 feet, 3 inches) She has pale skin and a rather sharply featured face, upon which two steel colour-blind blue eyes stare out of. Her hair is blond, long, and straight, also being rather stiff. Her outfit is composed of a long sterile-looking unbuttoned ivory coat (which reaches down to her feet) and an ebony shirt with matching pants. Also, she has black boots.

Personality: She is a strict and ruthless woman who is always serious and frowns on silliness. Her manner is cold emitting an absolute authority that most wouldn't dare question. As such, she makes quite a good leader. To further this, Mourmedy is quite ambitious, working towards her goals to the bitter end and having an almostly unbreakable will of steel. She has been described by others as blunt and also, lacking much sympathy. In truth, she is a woman who is concerned only with fullfilling her own goals, and nothing else, crushing any obstacles that stand in her way through sheer force of will and persistance.

However, though the only outward emotions she shows to others are anger and annoyance, she does have a soft side. Mourmedy is rather sensitive at heart and though she acts stoic, she is really quite emotional. She surpresses her emotions so as not to appear weak. But if one can break through her tough exterior, oh... there'll be hell to pay, all right.

Bio: As a child, her parents were quite the displanarians. They would punish her severely if she ever did something "wrong" or "bad" in their eyes.

She lived in a rather poor household. And though her parents punished her heavily, it was only because they wanted her to grow up to be tough and successful. They had worked very hard, trying to keep Mourmedy in school and living off the meager scraps they could buy and the welfare checks they were given along with their thankless low-paying grunt working jobs.

However, those welfare checks could not support them for much longer... It had been announced that the government would be cutting the money given via these checks in half to aid Pokémon trainers. This is when they started to resent them... Those stupid trainers! They had taken away what little they had. And for what? Training Pokémon? It wasn't as if they worked as hard as her parents. And that was their belief, that trainers were causing the poverty in their neighborhood.

And they passed their resentment onto their daughter. Young Mourmedy wanted so much as a child, so much she couldn't have due to a lack of funds. However, she was brilliant, absolutely brilliant in school and managed to get a scholarship to a good college. But once again, a Pokémon trainer got in the way of her success... Instead of accepting her into the college, they accepted the trainer.

From then on she had swore she would do whatever she could to ensure the decline of Pokémon training. To prevent suffering, the suffering and poverty she had to go through...

Mourmedy smirked, smirked with happiness when Pokémon training finally went into decline. They had finally gotten what they deserved. Those who had gotten in the way of her ambitions would all pay. And anyone who would try to bring that awful, useless, money wasting sport again? She would take them down with all the might and willpower she could. Nobody would wake those sleeping Pokémon, nobody, not under her watch. They would never make anyone suffer the life she suffered again, never smash her dreams into pieces.

Remnant, of course~
