A stiff, mild breeze marked the beginning of winter, gently stirring the leaves of black trees and slowly permeating everything it came in contact with. The night was deep and silent, people long since gone to warmer places. A high wire mesh fence stood as a sentinel, a long shadow cast to the concrete below by the moonlight. Silence. And then, a skinny shadow slinking along the top of the fence. Quickly, with purpose. The creature was as liquid shadow in the darkness, a silent purveyor of the night. There was no fear in his small ebony paws. Every creature had a clime in which it was most comfortable and damn it if he wasn’t going to enjoy the freedom the night-time provided him. With no hesitation the slinky creature met the end of the fence and quickly leapt high, to the railing of a fire escape. He paused, sat down. A muted golden glow was reflected from him onto the bars and he caught sight of his own wretched reflection in a window pane. Blake Sullivan…what a mess.

The nights of this planet were blisteringly cold, too cold for humans to withstand. Even more so during the winter equinox, which was currently threatening to take a vicious grip on the City. And they lasted several weeks, no thanks to the lunar orbit. Sullivan was more aware of lunar activity than most of the others; it was ingrained in his biology, irrevocably linked to his survival and his livelihood. In quiet moments, his could feel the great, majestic moons shifting, the cosmos itself turning infinitely like it was a part of his being. It was a beautiful, calming knowledge. He knew that the night would remain for approximately two more weeks. His weather forecasting was a useful skill that the Society had means to use from him, as during the sunlit weeks, their kind could not emerge; the streets became too busy and lively. That was why Sullivan was just that; a scout, a spy. He was quick, cunning, and most importantly, smart. One of the Shadowstep.

The crash of a garbage bin lid violently hitting the ground echoed through the deserted alley, and suddenly the railing was devoid of his presence. Scaling several flights of stairs with an almost-floaty ease, Sullivan reached a high landing and flattened his scrawny body to the ground, melding instantly into his surroundings. A single rose-red eye narrowed as he soaked up the scene below him. The reports were indeed, accurate. They were closer than ever before. Nana would not be pleased. An unshakable feeling of unease crept up from his paws to riddle his core, bringing a shiver from him. Then, suddenly, something large and purple shot up between his front paws, moving right through the solid concrete. He came face-to-face with a horrible, yet familiar visage that smirked and screeched an ear-piercing alarm. He skittered backwards, small sharp teeth bared in a loud hiss, and shot away. Mocking, shrieking laughter followed his escape, and he felt his unseeing eye move as if to twitch, or blink, in frustration.



~ ~ ~​


We know this place only as the City. For the City, the contrast between night and day is rightly named. The day and night last for several weeks apiece, making each day count, so to speak. Whilst the sun is out, the City is ablaze with life, with people and their Pokémon. This planet is healthy and vibrant, but not without its flaws. When the day-long sunset is over, the night encroaches upon the City. It is, of course, well protected; extra protection for the humans and inter-building connections means they can comfortably continue their lives, unaware of what happens outside. The temperature can easily drop below zero and stay that way, and only the mad and the lonely wander the desolate lanes. The City becomes a ghost town, in more ways than one. For it is here that a secret battle wages.

The streets are prowled; by creatures of Darkness, those that lurk in the shadows, those with latent Esper abilities, mind over matter, and those who can hide in the mist and remain Unseen. The City is our world of Eternal Night. And here we wage war to decide who owns it.

I’m Sullivan, or just Blake, if you’d prefer. I’m part of the Shadowstep Society. Heh…the Dark Side. Well, I am an Umbreon, after all. We’re allied with the Cosmic Coalition; the Espers and Psychic types. Once we fought as enemies until a third party, the Sorrow Syndicate, turned out to be much more formidable to the both of us than we would ever be to each other. Led by Lilith, who calls herself the ‘Mistress of Illusion’, they’re the Ghost, and they are only becoming more and more powerful.

Some outsiders come to us to assist, Pokémon that do not belong in any alliance. Why, I have not yet understood; sometimes to fulfil a sense of justice, or to protect themselves or their children. We appreciate any help we can get. We live in the underground, forging our own way, eating whatever we can find. It is a simple life, but it’s fulfilling, and rewarding in its own ways.

But now the tension is undeniable. We cannot ignore the reports right in front of us. Lilith is moving and she is looking to take over once and for all. And I know that I, along with the Shadowstep Society, will not let that happen.

*looks up* Well, there I go again with the ridiculously long introductory post. In any case, if you read this far, I hope you’re interested in joining Nocturne Eternia (NE).You’ve probably surmised a lot from reading, but for the cliffnotes version, read on.



Thus Far…​
Set in a place known only as ‘The City’, Dark, Psychic, and Ghost type Pokémon are at war to control the Eternal Night, the honour of owning the Night and to lay claim to the City. Their respective alliances are titled the Shadowstep Society, Cosmic Coalition, and Sorrow Syndicate. Dark and Psychic have now joined forces, as the Ghost types have amassed and become much more powerful. Espionage, treachery, and revenge are afoot.


The Rules
(But they’re really more like Guidelines…)​

General:

-- Be kind and thoughtful when RPing. I love doing this so goddamn much and only want people to enjoy themselves.
-- Swearing and other adult things are fine; as Advanced RPers, I trust you to do so with some intent in mind and act maturely about it, and not abuse it.
-- Battle Etiquette is expected; things will be semi-moderated by myself. Godmodding not allowed in the slightest. Fight fair and be good sports.
NE Specific:
-- This is an Advanced-Literate RP. I will only accept applications of a similar quality to that which I have written. It also means proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, detailed characters, all that jazz. A solid paragraph, seven or eight sentences, is the minimum expected for each post. There are also only seven application spaces; this is to ensure the RP can flow smoothly.
-- I don’t mind if the RP railroads here and there, there’s nothing wrong with allowing things to just happen. If it happens to turn to day, I will make a jump to the following dusk, and we can continue. Just letting you know that you might have to deal with a time skip or two, maybe.
-- One character per person, no hybrids. Refer to the character sheet for more detail.
-- No Mary-Sue characters. For this RP, that includes use of the following names for characters: Shadow, Ebony, Raven. Mainly because these words will be used in abundance to describe our surrounds and calling our characters them as well will only serve to confuse.
-- The move Sunny Day can’t be used. It will negate the premise of my RP, and that will make me sad. D:
-- A bio is not needed for the character sign-up, I find these things tend to be more enjoyable when a character can grow of their own accord, and as such they can just be RPed out.

Alright, that’s the boring stuff out of the way, but thank you for reading it. I know you did. *pointed look*



Character Sheet

Please copy/paste the following into your post for sign-up. :D​

HTML:
[b]Name:[/b] [First and last, or just first, anything is fine. If you read the rules, you will know which names I’d like nobody to use.]
[b]Alias (if any):[b] [Self Explanatory.]
[B]Age:[/B] [Going by ‘Mon standards here. Anything under 1 is considered a child, 7+ is quite old. Unless you are a Species that lives for hundreds/thousands of years, then…whatever.]
[B]Gender:[/B] 
[B]Orientation:[/B] [Added mainly for informational purposes.]
[B]Species:[/B] [Dark/Psychic types, obviously. Please have common sense, I will not allow legendaries or over-powered species. My character is an Umbreon, take ideas from that starting point. Dark/Some Other Type is fine, too. If you wish to be a different type (Fire, Water, whatever), a Pokémon that has joined for other purposes than type, that is fine. Post your profile and I will discern if it is accepted, just like any other.]
[B]Type:[/B] 

[B]Appearance:[/B] [No pictures are allowed; this is a written RP, after all. A couple of paragraphs is fine; again, take a look at my own for a rough guide. Minimal accessories are acceptable.]

[B]Strengths:[/B] [I usually list three of these, more is fine, less is not. In as many words as you please.]

[B]Weaknesses:[/B] [See Above.]

[B]Likes:[/B] [See Above.]

[B]Dislikes:[/B] [See Above.]
[B]
Personality:[/B] [Like personality, I would like to see detail. Again, two or so paragraphs is roughly alright.]

[B]Moveset:[/B] [4 Moves. You may use any move from the most recent Gen. (I used Serebii). TM moves are alright, as are other types (eg. Blake’s Take Down is learnt as an Eevee). But again, use common sense, no Hyper Beam/Thunder/Giga Impact/Over-Powered Things. You will not be accepted. Also, if you are Dark/Psychic, have at least 1 move of that type, and try not to cross over (eg. No Ghost Moves.)]


Take a look at Blake's profile below to see an example. :3


~ ~ ~​


Name: Blake Sullivan
Alias (if any): Sullivan (Formal), Blake (Informal), occasionally Sully.
Age: Three years, four months
Gender: Male
Orientation: Bisexual, preference for males.
Species: Umbreon
Type: [dark]

Appearance: Blake is in possession of the markings, colouration, ears and tail common of his kin, but unfortunately this is where the similarities end. Best described as a scrawny, messy, almost skeletal-like feline, Blake has long, thin limbs that taper to delicate, tiny paws. They do serve a useful purpose, however, allowing him to balance on and squeeze into things others often couldn’t. Despite his dishevelled outer appearance, he still has toned muscles where they should be, hidden under all his fur, and is quite lithe and streamlined. His ebony fur is scraggy and dirty, particularly on his tail, and atop his head. When frightened or angry, his hackles raise, serving to make him look even worse for wear. Blake is completely hopeless at controlling his markings, and they glow at most inopportune times, betraying his actual feelings. He rarely has the place of mind to make them do much of anything.

He has one large, orb-like eye in a soft-rose red, but a bright shade nonetheless, they just carry none of the normal…well, ‘evil’, that he has seen in others. His other eye glows a blinding white, completely blind. A thick scar of the same glow runs vertically across it. He obtained this in a direct confrontation with the Mistress of Illusion herself, Lilith, and it does nothing but hinder him. It twinges from time to time and he has trouble with depth perception. Small pointed features grace his face with small but incredibly sharp teeth hidden in his maw, matching the talons sheathed in his paws. Long whiskers spring from his face, a single one of his left side frazzled, twisted, and unusable, though he keeps it purely for cosmetic amusement.

Strengths: Advanced Stealth Abilities, Quick Thinker and Talker, Patience (in spades).

Weaknesses: Not much physical strength, Blind in right eye, Tendency to be lazy.

Likes: Observing the night sky, receiving commendation of a good job, music (on the rare occasion he can find/hear it.)

Dislikes: Sunlight, Being blind, Low pain threshold (cannot tolerate extended pain).

Personality: Blake is immediately seen as an Eon of nothing but business. When in the presence of an official or higher-up, he will be quick to attention, and is willing to put a paw up to assist if he is needed. He supports Nana with everything he has; the Society is the closest thing to a family he has, and as such, he protects its members like they were his brothers and sisters, the headquarters, his home. Open to friendship and not quick to judge, Blake doesn’t mind at all to simply pass the time of day (or night). Pleasantries are few and far between these days, after all.

Patience is Blake’s virtue; he can tolerate most of anything, except sunlight or a whole lot of pain. Being partially blind forces one’s mindset to become a little more tolerant of a great many things. In the comforts of home Blake is relaxed, laid back, borderline lazy. If given an assignment, he will pursue it with concentration and expertise in the hopes of attaining praise or recognition, validation of all his efforts, a feeling that gives him peace. The occasional smart-ass, Blake doesn’t mind teasing or goading his friends and is just as open to a game or joke as the next ‘Mon.

Moveset:
Moonlight - The user restores its own HP. The amount of HP regained varies with the weather.
Faint Attack - The user draws up to the foe disarmingly, then throws a sucker punch. It hits without fail.
Double Team - By moving rapidly, the user makes illusory copies of itself to raise its evasiveness.
Take Down - A reckless, full-body charge attack for slamming into the foe. It also damages the user a little.

Woah.

Like,

Woah.

I've seen detailed RP's before, but this is the real deal.

Can I reserve a spot? I don't have any good ideas for a character right now.

EDIT:

Name: Vincent katastrof
Age: Around 16 years old (keep in mind that his species can live over one hundred years)
Gender: Male
Orientation: homosexual (But he doesn't show it openly)
Species: Absol
Type: Dark

Appearance: Vincent is a very stereotypic example of his kind, which is to say a gray, cat-like creature covered in white fur, with a ruff around his neck and chest, and a tuft on the top of his head adorned with a single blue-black oval. He have a cat-like face, a scythe-like tail and a sickle-shaped growth on the side of his head. His broad, circular feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of his hind legs and the elbows of the anterior legs. If anything, Vincent is a bit smaller than most of his kind, but this is more likely due to his age than him actually being small.

Strengths: Facing Vincent in physical combat is about as good idea as throwing yourself in front of a speeding truck, due to his brutal strength. He's also surprisingly durable for one his kind, and is able to take a beating or two before caving in. he can also tell when something bad will happen, which is natural for him. He's on top of that rather clever.

Weaknesses: Vincent is very insecure about himself as a whole, and those who can exploit such things may find that he's surprisingly easy to break. He's also notably stubborn, which can turn situations for the worse at times. But to top it off, he takes insults very offensively, and can end up rushing blindly at his opponent without a second of thought.

Likes: peace and quiet, strolls, preferably somewhere near large bodies of water, and Blake (or rather, he has a slight affection for said 'mon, should you allow it)


Dislikes: Loud piercing noises such as breaking glass, denigrating comments, and finally, his own insecurity, essentially making him dislike himself in a sense.

Personality: Vincent is surprisingly social for an Absol, and is very comfortable around company. He's a bit motherly in a sense, and cares deeply for his friends and allies. He treats everyone he meets, be it friend or foe, with respect until they prove they don't deserve it, which his enemies tend to do. If Vincent loses his respect for someone, he'll resent them with all his soul, or at least until they, once again prove they deserve respect once again. In battle, Vincent is eager to show his strength, but knows when the fight is lost, and in those situations, gives up honourably.

However, despite the bright, comfortable side he shows, Vincent is weak and insecure on the inside. He didn't realize his orientation himself until he was 14 years old, and it's been bothering him ever since. He finds his own sexuality unacceptable and is quick to verbally defend himself if someone as much as even jokingly hints about it. Because of this his friends might find that they unintentionally offended him, but he usually realizes this himself and apologizes.

Moveset:
Night Slash - The user slashes the foe the instant an opportunity arises. It has a high critical-hit ratio.
Megahorn - Utilizing its tough and impressive horn, the user rams into the foe with no letup.
Superpower - The user attacks the foe with great power. However, it also lowers the user's Attack and Defense.
Sucker Punch - This move enables the user to attack first. It fails if the foe is not readying an attack, however.

I'm not sure if you consider these over-powered or not, just tell me if you do.

Ooooh may I have a reserve too? I have no time for a form right now (going camping; be back late evening tomorrow)

(also the icons like sooort of like they may have been from my iconning sprees (art thread in sig) but it's sort of hard to tell)

ETA: Herpderp I had enough time to startthe form, just barely. :V Also, aww no pictures? I have tons of drawing time on my camping trip, but I understand. It's to prevent people from using just pictures, ja? Would you be alright if I included a picture after describing her in full detail?

ETA2: and done.

Name: Adeliede Young
Alias (if any): Ada, Painkiller
Age: Four years Ten months
Gender: Female
Orientation: Bisexual
Species: Espeon
Type: Psychic

Appearance: Ada is an albino Espeon; her fur is a sort white colour, with the faintest pink tinge due to the skin underneath. Her large, almond shaped eyes are also a soft pink, and the pupils are a red so dark it looks black, except in bright light. The gemstone on her forehead is the normal bloody red, though a small chip is missing, something she is rather sensitive about. She bears a few small, nearly invisible scares on her hindquarters, though she never seems to acknowledge that they exist. She also has a tiny red earring in the shape of a medical cross in her left ear, near the base where it sprouts from her skull. Otherwise, she's mostly average for an Espeon; a slender vulpine body and delicate limbs ending in tiny paws, a long feline tail that ends in two prongs, large ears, and two large tufts of fur on her cheeks.

Ada's movement tends to be smooth and fluid, since she rarely elects to walk; she has enough precise control over her psychic abilities that she can hover about a half-inch off the ground at all times, though she can elect to drop to the ground and walk or run, since she can run faster than she hovers, and if she is very stressed, she can't float.

Strengths: Exceptional skill in mentally cutting off the pain receptors; charismatic; a good liar

Weaknesses: Little pain tolerance; tends to fly off the handle easily; easily distracted; weak physically.

Likes: Cleanliness, singing, dancing, experimenting with pain, learning.

Dislikes: Arrogance, stupidity, bright light, having to eat meat, germs and dirt.

Personality: Ada fancies herself a doctor, though she does boast a sadistic streak that is wider than is probably healthy in one with such an occupation. While she doesn't often get to cause pain exactly, she does enjoy seeing its effects, and will rarely use her ability of pain cutoff without considerable begging or if it's seriously needed. Beyond that she's moderately social, though won't go too far out of her way to associate with others, preferring the distant, sterilized coolness so similar to her medical profession. She can be goaded into showing her more friendly and warm side with song and dance, however.

She tends to avoid bright sunlight when it's daytime, something very odd for an Espeon, as her albinism makes her light-sensitive. She dislikes eating meat, though if she needs to eat and nothing else is available, she will.

Moveset:
Signal Beam - The user attacks with a sinister beam of light. It may also confuse the target.
Psychic - The foe is hit by a strong telekinetic force. It may also reduce the foe’s Sp. Def stat.
Wish - A wish that restores HP. It takes time to work.
Attract - If it is the opposite gender of the user, the foe becomes infatuated and less likely to attack.

This may bring me out of my RP rut. Along with Sinnoh Folk Story. But w/e

Name: Moriah Espinosa
Alias (if any): Since she has no informal friends, everyone calls her Espinosa. If someone does, however, want to try and reach out to her, you may attempt to call her Moriah, but I'm not sure how that will work out...
Age: 17 (considering she is humanoid)
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight. Period.
Species: Gardevoir
Type: Psychic

Appearance: Her "hair" is not what looks like a bowl cut; it is actually long and flowy. Her "bangs" are still there, though. Her hair thing is also a slightly darker shade of green. Her eyes are lilac purple, and her dress is slightly darker, but not by much. The red thing sticking out of her chest (why did that sound so wrong) is slightly smaller, too.

Her body build is like a brick shithouse juuust slightly skinnier, due to malnutrition. Her "bangs" mentioned above cover one eye, kind of like an emo's hair does. Her eyes are kind of droopy, like she is always sad/tired/whatever. Many think she actually is emo, which she kind of is.

Strengths: Her inability to love, therefore being able to hurt anyone. Not feeling guilt, therefore again being able to hurt and murder whomever she wants. Her intense concentration, for powerful Psychic attacks. She can also see auras through this intense concentration. Also, through Future Sight, out of battle, she can see slightly into the future (if you're a twitard, kind of like Alice Cullen)

Weaknesses: Yet again her inability to love; she'll never know happiness. Yet again, her nonexistant guilty conscience; she'll never know right fom wrong. Her isolation, because she refuses to let anyone help.

Likes: She, like Sullivan, likes astrology/astronomy and stargazes. She also likes to put people through torture when they deserve it. She likes being alone to just... think

Dislikes: She dislikes big crowds. She also dislikes the sunlight. (obviously) She also dislikes evil.

Personality: Very drawn-back, many think she is emo based on appearance and the fact she is always alone. She is, however, kind of emo based on the fact she is always alone, as stated before, however, she doesn't cut. She will only obey those of higher authority.

She is definately not a "people person", though she does make conversation when needed. She comes across as bitter to most, and many think she needs an attitude adjustment. She is very loyal, however, staying with whomever ot whatever she has set her mind to. She prefers to work alone, but she's been in her group ever since she was a little Ralts...

Moveset:

Magical Leaf: The user scatters curious leaves that chase the foe. This attack will not miss.

Calm Mind (we saw that one coming): The user quietly focuses its mind and calms its spirit to raise its Sp. Atk and Sp. Def stats.

Future Sight: Two turns after this move is used, the foe is attacked with a hunk of psychic energy.

Psychic: The foe is hit by a strong telekinetic force. It may also reduce the foe's Sp. Def stat.

Other: This is my first character who isn't hyper/shy, so bear with me.

EDIT: Forgot the moveset. Also, its funny because I almost picked Espeon, but I figured it was too cliché.

I haven't seen an RP this elaboate since my days at PD *shudders*. I'd like to reserve, as it will take time to think up something as elaborate as this.
 
Name: The Bard (or just Bard)
Alias: The Bard
Age: Four (or whatever would be 27 in human years, I guess)
Gender: Male

Orientation:
None, thanks.
Species: Honchkrow

Type:


Appearance: The Bard has an odd look to him; his feathers are somewhat disheveled, but a closer look reveals that each is perfectly groomed. This is because Bard purposefully makes himself look this way, and takes pride in his on-the-surface shabbiness. The Honchkrow, like all others, has a large fedora-shaped crest that covers his face while he sleeps and thinks. His beak is thin and sharp, and so are his eyes; they are the traditional red, making his eyes look bloodshot and yet energetic. His fluffy, down-like chest feathers often puff out while The Bard talks.

His feet are dark-brown and scaly, ending in incisor-like claws. His wings are very large, patterned with dark red fan-shapes. Bard's tail is, oddly, similar to a bouquet of red roses, fanning out from his nether region. His torso and other parts are mostly a dark, deep navy, seeming to reflect and absorb light at once.

Strengths: Singing, aiding others, picking up on body language
Weaknesses: Low attention span, no patience, a little pompous

Likes: Singing, again. Flying, planning, eating.
Dislikes: Sitting still, unforeseen circumstances, killing.

Personality:
The Bard is boisterous and loud when he can be, yelling across rooms and hugging people he hardly knows. He's mostly a nice bird, just very energetic. The Honchkrow is rather prone to helping out his friends and acquaintances, but is generally pretty merciless with enemies and the like; thing is, though, he never kills in a fight. Ever. He'll break bones, noses, whatever, but he won't outright kill you.

Bard, despite his loud personality, knows when to shut up; he just prefers to fill silence with chatter when he's allowed. He also asks a lot of questions of everyone, delving deeper and more quickly than may be entirely advisable.

He shakes his leg when he's bored.

Moveset: Night Slash, Pursuit, Twister, Tailwind
 
Whoa.

I haven't seen something this high-leveled on this board before. This looks really promising.

Reserve please! I would need time to think up a character and type up the character sheet.
 
Thanks for replying. :3 I'm glad people are interested after all.

@Male Gardevoir: You're too nice, but thank you so much. All my RPs look something like this; I always get carried away on an idea. ^^;
Vincent is fine and I will accept him. Just one thing, change Superpower or Stone Edge to a different move? You made me go all giddy when I read what he 'likes', I'm all for it, but we'll see how things play out.
Added Vincent to list.


@Full Metal Cookies: >< Thank you; I found your thread and credited you on the opening post. I'll accept a picture alongside a detailed description if that's what you'd like to do. I'm drawing Blake at the moment anyway, so I might end up doing the same. Adeliede looks good so far, moves and all are fine. Can't wait to read the rest.
Adeliede pending.

@Mewtwo: This RP already brought me out of mine. XP It was interesting to see that this darker character was a deviation from the norm. I'm bad at RPing depressed/antisocial characters, but it's all good. And Espeon isn't cliche; I'm an Umbreon, whatever, lol. I was worried limiting species to only two types wouldn't work. >> But I see no issues with your profile.
Added Moriah to list.

^^ *happy* I'll wait a little longer before starting, there are still positions open.

EDIT: OMG wat, people replying whilst I'm trying to post, lol. Thank you for the compliments, guys, it inspires me to keep doing them. :3
Exo-Raikou andCrazy Linoone, I will reserve positions for you, but please bear in mind that this does not grant you insta-approve, lol.

@Blastoise: I like The Bard, I'm not as familiar with the newer gen. Pokémon but that personality just suits a Honchkrow so perfectly.
Added The Bard to list.

I replaced Stone Edge with Sucker Punch, I hope that's better.

And to be honest, I wasn't planning on doing any real advances, some small ones maybe, but I'll mainly use Vincent's orientation for character development. I haven't really played a character like this before, so it'll be interesting.

This must be what it would like to RP as Kanji Tatsumi.
 
WHOA. Finally, a REAL RP. I've been soooo bored, thank you, Queen of Procrastination!

May I please reserve?

EDIT: Nevermind on that reserve! Here's the form I've slaved over:

Name: Holly Johnson
Alias (if any): Hols, Miss Johnson
Age: 19 years old. (Her species can live for like, 1,000 years. So she’s… really really young. And freshly evolved.)
Gender: Female
Orientation: Lesbian
Species: Ninetales (It says that it can be another type like Fire, so, yeah. If this isn’t okay though, I can change it~)
Type: Fire

Appearance: Holly’s… not the most graceful looking Ninetales. When most people think of a Ninetales, they think of a gorgeous creamy yellow fox-like creature with nine long flowing tails. And Holly fits the part… partially. If you took out the “gorgeous”, “nine”, and “flowing.” Her appearance can be summoned up by the following words: She didn’t evolve properly. Her fur is a bit messy, a few split ends here and there sticking up around her body because she doesn’t groom herself that often. Holly also seems, unlike other Ninetales, to have only eight tails. When she evolved, she only gained two tails due to the incompleteness of her evolution. Often times, because she is a bit absent-minded, she sits ON them, which has caused them to gain a permanent “bent” look, they always sort of curl at the ends as if she were still a Vulpix. Although perhaps this could be because of her improper evolution, nobody’s quite certain. The same happens with the little headcrest of fur upon her head, which curls slightly and is especially all over the place. Her eyes, which rather than being vibrant shade of red are but a dull brown retained from her Vulpixhood.

Strengths: Intelligent, quite observant, a good listener, patient, loyal to those who she sides with, good memory, empathizes well with others.

Weaknesses: Rather lazy, a bit of a slow thinker (it takes her a while to actually access her intelligence), shy, cannot think well under pressure, a bit weaker than most of her kind (has the whole “more brains than brawn” syndrome), awkward and not at all graceful, unconfident, gets nervous very easily, REALLY big temper and tendency to hold grudges.

Likes: Meaningful conversations, spending time with her best friends, contributing and helping out the team.
Dislikes: Being criticized, Ghost-types, being a “waste of space,” doing nothing.
Personality: She’s got sort of the whole “she means well, but she’s just so damn awkward” sort of thing. That’s probably the best way to sum up Holly. Feeling like she has high expectations to live up to because of her being a Ninetales, she tends to be quite self-depreciating and not at all that confident. Especially considering the fact that she only has eight tails. She always thinks that she has to live up to a “wise old graceful” stereotype of a Ninetales, which she resents immensely, because she’s just not like that at all. She’s quite naïve, having evolved recently.

Because of her low amount of self-worth, Holly always feels as though she has to help out or she’ll be a “waste of space.” And yet believes herself too incompetent to be too helpful at the same time. So she stays quiet and tries to stay out of things, whilst listening carefully and trying to get all the details of something so that she can do the job right. Yet she often messes up even the simplest instructions, but this is mostly due to her nervousness.

She also has a tendency to be shy, quiet and secretive, not really telling anything to anyone outside of those who she trusts. This is because she wishes to hide her “weakness,” which is what she thinks of her emotions as being. There’s a fair bit of pent up emotional turmoil despite having lead a relatively normal childhood, and a lot of it can be attributed to the fact that she wants to go back to being a Vulpix because she doesn’t feel like she’s ready to be something as smooth and graceful as a Ninetales and the fact that she just didn’t evolve properly. She tries somewhat to maintain an illusion of what she thinks a Ninetales should act like (cool and wise and calm), but usually fails as her awkwardness is obvious to anyone at first glance.

Once she starts to get comfortable around you though, she can be quite pleasant to be around. She is kind and humorous towards those she accepts into her circle of friends, which isn’t very large in the first place, and cherishes her friends above all else. What matters to her more is her relationships with others. Also, as previously mentioned, she’s intelligent, but can is a bit slow at using her intelligence. Somewhat absent-minded too.

Although she can seem quite harmless most times, if she is angered, she can be a force to be reckoned with. Her pent up emotions which she hides desperately in attempts to look calm and collected will sometimes find their way out of the surface in rather frightening ways. She turns vicious and rather violent when somebody pushes all the wrong buttons, particularly if they make a snide comment about her evolution. It is her anger that allows her to harness the power of the move Overheat and indeed, how she learned it in the first place. She especially hates Ghost-types for reasons she doesn’t seem all that apt to state, although it could be assumed that it has something to do with her evolution…

Moveset:
Overheat (can only be used if she’s angry) – The user attacks the foe at full power. The attack's recoil sharply reduces the user's Sp. Atk stat.
Ember – The foe is attacked with small flames. The target may also be left with a burn.
Extrasensory – The user attacks with an odd, unseeable power. It may also make the foe flinch.
Safeguard - The user creates a protective field that prevents status problems for five turns.

I want to join but I wante to use Spiritomb or Sabeleye.

Would I be able to be a member of either sides? ((Like Ghost OR Dark side??)) If so I want to be on the Dark side.

Reserving anyway.

Name: Spectre ((Pronounce SPEC-tra))
Alias (if any): Ancient One
Age: 2000
Gender: Male
Orientation: Straight if he is forced. Otherwise mainly Asexual but may fall in love.
Species: Spiritomb
Type: Dark/Ghost

Appearance: A normal Spiritomb at first glance, but several rubies are studded into his Keystone where the design is((If this is confusing you ask me and I'll draw a pic for you as a visual aid. I suck at explaining these)). In other places on the stone are cracks and chips each with spectoral energy flowing out, giving the appearence of the stone 'bleeding'. His 'head-thing' is normaly shaped but the green orbs are in the pattern of a hypnodisk. The position and size otf the orbs can be changed at will. His eyes are a bight neon green color, and he can see twice as good in the darkness as in the day.((effective 2x vision in darkness, twice as good as another Spiritomb's, but sunlight hurts his great eyesight))

Strengths: Thousands of years of experience in battle techniques, no weaknesses((type wise)), 'Night Vision'

Weaknesses: Extremely stubborn, Keystone gives away position, Stone is tiring to lug around, especially in battle, enhanced vision creates weakness to sunlight

Likes: Torturing others((a thousand years sealed up and he never learned)), defeating enemies, seeing others in pain((^))

Dislikes: Sunlight, Humans, everyone except him and a select few of friends.

Personality:
[Like personality, I would like to see detail. Again, two or so paragraphs is roughly alright.]

Moveset:
Pain Split: Adds the sum of the user and target's HP together, and then sets each of those Pokemon's HP to 50% of that sum.
Dark Pulse: The user releases a horrible aura imbued with dark thoughts. It may also make the target flinch.
Sucker Punch: This move enables the user to attack first. It fails if the foe is not readying an attack, however.
Hypnosis: The user employs hypnotic suggestion to make the target fall into a deep sleep.

Will finish later

I'm done!

I know that reserving doesn't mean INSTA-IN, but there's only a few spots open, and I don't want to finish my profile just to find out that all the spots were already taken. :D It's a safety measure.

Name: Flicker
Alias (if any): You can call him anything you like. He doesn't really mind.
Age: 5 (late 30s, human wise)
Gender: Androgynous; female by birth, but doesn't mind being called either pronouns
Orientation: None; asexual
Species: Xatu
Type: Psychic/Flying

Appearance: Flicker, like others of his kind, is a tall, pole-like bird about a half a foot shorter than the average human. However, Flicker was born with light blue eyes that were extremely sensitive to light; unlike most Xatus who can stare into the sun all day, Flicker cannot even open his eyes in daylight due to the extreme pain and burst of blindness that is sure to follow. Flicker was forced to live his life in darkness, away from the sun and light. Without the sun, his feathers lost color -- instead of the usual bright green that colored his family, Flicker is a ghostly, pale green, and the markings on his stomach have also lost their vibrant colors. The long, red feather on his head and the tips of his wings faded to a pale pink, the black turned to a strange lavender, and his yellow beak was a pale cream. Even the white feathers on his wings seemed to have faded -- they seemed to have gained a bit of translucence in Flicker's days in the darkness. Flicker's pale complexion scared a good many creatures at night, for many thought he was a ghost or some ghastly creature coming to haunt them.

While Flicker's appearance may seem a bit scary, in fact, with a closer observation, one can conclude that he is not a very frightening pokemon at all. His slightly curved beak and claws had blunted from age, and he is not particularly large or muscular.

Strengths: Can see well in the darkness. Can sometimes see the future. Navigates relatively well when blind or half-blind. Fast reflexes.

Weaknesses: Easily blinded by light from flashlights and pokemon attacks such as Flamethrower. Weak attack and defense. Low endurance.

Likes: Darkness, fruits, pondering the meaning of life and other philosophical questions

Dislikes: Light, blood on his feathers, pain

Personality: Flicker is aloof and not really "here" all the time, mostly due to his ability to see into the future and the past at the same time. Sometimes, he gets confused as to which time frame he is in and seems to talk to himself while he may think he is saying a perfectly normal comment. Flicker doesn't talk much, and, when he does, he tends to use words quite sparingly, talking in short fragments instead of actual complete sentences. This makes him a bit hard to understand sometimes.

Flicker doesn't mind company (although his taciturn behavior sometimes make people think otherwise), nor does he mind being alone -- in fact, Flicker doesn't really mind anything at all. He realizes that everyone is going to die someday and can be a bit depressing in that sense, pointing out facts of life most would rather ignore, but he doesn't see how and why people tend to get annoyed at him for his comments.

Flicker is a bit of a coward: he doesn't like fighting and pain, and he puts his safety above everything else. Because he sometimes can't tell whether he is looking into the past, future, or the present, he doesn't bother saving other pokemon in case he puts himself in danger for something that has already happened.

Moveset:
Future Sight
Psycho Shift
Teleport
Steel Wing
 
I'm going to start this up, but I doubt I'll finish it just yet

Name: Claude Frollo
Alias (if any): Frollo, or The Judge]
Age: 8
Gender: Male
Orientation: Straight
Species: Alakazam
Type: Psychic

Appearance: Like most of his species, Frollo is a humanshape, somewhat tall, pokemon that has a head with tall pointed ears and is somewhat shaped like a fox's head, with long whiskers on the side that stretch downward on his face. However, instead of the yellow with brown segments on his body, the yellow is very pale with grey tinges on the end, especially in the case of the whiskers, and his brown segments of the body are far darker. The claws on his body are only slightly longer than those of the normal Alakazam, but barely curve and are only slightly sharp. It should be noted that the brown segments of his arm are very wide, and give the appearance of sleeves, and they also travel the length of his arm. The brown segment on his neck is slightly higher on his body, giving the appearance of a collar.

As for his hands, his fingers are long and thin, and several of them bear an ornate ring. The spoons that all of his species carry, and that enhance his telekinetic abilities are lengthened to compensate for his long fingers, and each of them can be reshaped (but not re-sized) into whatever shape Frollo wishes. One of the spoons has the symbol of alpha (α) on it, while the other bears the symbol of Omega (Ω).

Frollo's physical appearance in itself is not intimidating, however, as he has many long wrinkles across his neck and arm. His eyes are what scares many, though, as they only rarely show warmth, instead they are cold and unmerciful

Strengths: He has enhanced telekinetic powers, and despite his age, he can move with great agility. He rarely loses his temper, which allows him to become a fine conversationalist, to the point where he can smooth-talk anyone into doing as he says (or making them feel very, very terrible about themselves and their actions).

Weaknesses: His pride is his first and foremost weakness, and he also has very little physical strength - if one is able to disable his telekinetic powers (which would cause his spoons to revert to normal) he becomes a complete liability in combat. Furthermore, he is somewhat insane, and this insanity has led to many hallucinations.

Likes: Above all, the complete and utter destruction of the ghost-types, who he believes to be impure. He is also sadistic when facing a ghost-type. If he has the chance, he will take similar measures against a dark-type, for he believes them to be just as impure as ghosts. He also believes in control, or rather, that he should be in control

Dislikes: Having to ally with the "impure" dark-types, even if it means destroying the ghosts. He also despises losing control of any Pokemon that he has managed to sway over to his side, as mind control is a telekinetic power that he lacks. He also believes that those that do not fight to destroy the ghosts with the exact same intensity as he does (think in terms of exterminating every ghost Pokemon that exists) are useless, and that they should follow his ways, in the way he accomplishes his ways

Personality:
In short, Frollo has a Knight Templar complex, in that he sees himself as a righteous Pokemon, and if one called him an emissary of Arceus, he would not deny it. Of course, all of his actions that he takes to exterminate the dark-types and ghosts are anything but righteous; he will brutally attack any that stand in the way of his goal, and he sees most that do not completely agree with him as standing in his way. However, he is not a fool; he knows that if he is to accomplish his goal, he cannot go an kill every single Pokemon; he will instead give them a cold treatment until it occurs to them why he despises them.

Because of his complex, Frollo sees himself as above other Pokemon, and usually isolates himself from them (just because he's a good conversationalist does not mean he goes out of his way to make conversation). When he does show up in public, he rarely strays from wherever his movement takes him to talk with other Pokemon, and acts very bored if he doesn't believe a conversation to be necessary. When he thinks it is necessary, he will speak politely and calmly, all the while thinking over what he will need to do so that whatever purpose this conversation has will be achieved.

Frollo enjoys a battle, but only the purpose of it (kill the enemy) rather than the thrill of battle itself. He usually makes his battles quick - unless he is going against a ghost or dark, in which case, as mentioned before, he will make sadistic measures in the battle so that the "impure" Pokemon suffers. His general battle strategy is to weaken the Pokemon with special attacks, and then make the finishing blow with a strong Psychic attack.

Moveset: Psychic - The foe is hit by a strong telekinetic force. It may also reduce the foe's Sp. Def stat.

Focus Blast - The user heightens its mental focus and unleashes its power. It may also lower the target's Sp. Def

Recover - A self-healing move. The user restores its own HP by up to half of its max HP.

Charge Beam - The user fires a concentrated bundle of electricity. It may also raise the user's Sp. Atk stat

May I reserve the last spot? I'll post the beginnings of my form now but I need a bit of sleep before I do the Appearance and the Personality.

Name: Angelo Sterling
Alias (if any): N/A
Age: Nine years, Four months since he Animated.

Appearance: [No pictures are allowed; this is a written RP, after all. A couple of paragraphs is fine; again, take a look at my own for a rough guide. Minimal accessories are acceptable.]

Strengths: Having been around for a while, He has become quite adept at reading other pokemon. He also has developed a talent for being able to move around almost as well as a true Ghost type would. Despite the limitations of him having a physical form. This, Combined with his resistance to attacks from most types, Makes him a fairly durable fighter

Weaknesses: Due to him having a physical form he can't take as much damage as his fellow Pokemon can, Crumpling under some of the weakest attacks that his ability can't take. He also has issues trusting his fellow Pokemon, Even if they are on the same side as him he will treat them with the same amount of distrust as he affords his foes.
(Third weakness to come)

Dislikes: Silence, Other Pokemon, Wire Coat Hangers.
