So, hey guys! I just realized that I have two big essays to do, and clearly not enough RPs to waste time with!
So, who would be interested in helping me revive the Dreams of the Past? I'd like a co-DM, as well.
For the uninitiated:
Pokemon, trained to be the best fighters of all and evolved so that they are truly terrors in battle. Those same Pokemon, held in specialized sleep-chambers to ensure that the next Champion of any region would have the honour of having them as his team. Around them, the world collapses, as ambitious humans squabble.
Some influential people want the world for themselves, and don't wish to share with restless trainers. Pokemon training is a waste of money, of resources. The Pokemon League is forgotten, the Elite Four in disgrace, and no Champions come forth. Mechanical weapons are created, and destruction reigns as trainers and Pokemon are hunted down by those who'd rather live without a reminder that so much money goes into supporting trainers who give nothing in return. Until, at last, the turmoil ceases, leaving the regions relying on Pokemon for simpler tasks: rebuilding the gyms and cities that were in the conflict, hunting for food, and finding suitable places to expand settlements. A chance dig near Union Cave in the Johto region reveals a strange set of rooms. Curiosity is what drives the ones doing the dig to discover the sleeping Pokemon, but most of the world wouldn't be too thrilled to have them awakened.
Okay, so there are three 'sides' so to speak. The sleeping Pokemon (which obviously have to be Pokemon), the members of the dig (human or Pokemon) and the remnants (humans, and are against the idea of Pokemon and humans working together. These guys can simply not like change, or have a phobia of Pokemon, or something completely different. As long as they're not happy). Sound simple? There will be fights, which will be in ASB-style, and Pokemon and humans can communicate, to make things easier. The RP will start when we have around two members on each 'side', though people will still be able to join.
Now, about the setting. Most cities are crumbling ruins at the moment. The level of technology isn't any different from when Pokemon training was popular, except for the inclusion of devices, usually nets, that steal the energy of a target. They then store the energy in a small cylinder, which you can detach and plug into whatever needs power at the moment. Pokemon cooperate with humans when it suits them, but they are no longer pets or partners.
The dig is not widely known about - a sponsor might find out about its results quickly, but otherwise, there won't be many who realize what the dig has unearthed other than the dig members themselves. Important plot points, such as the involvement of a certain group of powerful Pokemon *coughcough* will be controlled by DMs for the most part, but you can volunteer subplots if you wish.[/randominfodump]
...That is not copypasta. Not at all. You have no proof!
