[OOC/SIGNUPS] Streets Run Red

Thorne

It's feeding time
Castelia City is a large metropolis, and as such there is bound to criminal activity. The police has been extremely busy as of lately.

the problem is not organized crime syndicates though, no no.
It is two particular ragtag gang of teenagers.

At night, gangs rule the streets, mostly small ones, with one exception, Rhinestone Eyes. Led by a young man known as Gears, the massive gang controls the moonlit streets, while the others bow down in fright. The gang is so powerful, even the police shiver at the name.

But now their unquestionable might has been challenged. A new gang known as El Mañana, led by someone called Nevermore, has been rising in the ranks. Any other gang to get in their way were mercilessly crushed and forcibly split up, and anyone with talent joined El Mañana. Now the dark streets of Castelia are fought over by two gangs.

This is no longer simple gang rivalry, this is a all-out war. By day, they live as ordinary citiziens. At night, the streets run red.

As would be evident from the text above, this is a RP where you play as members of one of the two gangs, Rhinestone Eyes and El mañana, lead by the imposing Gears and the eccentric Nevermore, respectively.

On the day, you will be normal citizens, or rather, act like it. In the night you'll be with your gang, spraying graffiti, destroying property and of course, fighting the rival gang.

WITH POKÉMON.

As the story is set in Castelia City, I expect you to have knowledge of the area.

I will change from day to night and vice versa at command, meaning I can interrupt something that is taking too long.

I expect good grammar, spelling and behaviour, no legendaries allowed, and many other rather common things by now, but if you have not I recommend you read up first.

Alright, form.

NAME: obvious enough, first and last name.
AGE: Somewhere in your older teens, please.
GENDER: Male, or female?
GANG: Rhinestone Eyes, or El Mañana? You cannot join on gang if there are three more RP'ers in that gang than in the other.
TAG NAME: A sort of street-nickname your character will be referred to as while in the gang activities.
APPEARANCE: What do they look like, be as detailed as you can.
OTHER: Other details such as personality, biography or other small details you cannot put anywhere else. Optional.
TEAM: Your team of maximum six Pokémon. No legendaries as said, also you have to have one "icon 'mon" which will be the first one in the list, and two people cannot have the same icon 'mon as you. So it's kinda like Ash and Pikachu without it being taken to the level of zoophilia.

RESERVA

NAME:
Collen Alanson
AGE: 16
GENDER: Male (♂)
GANG: El Mañana
TAG NAME: Pinta

APPEARANCE:
Collen, for he really prefers his given name over his tag, is a rather short boy. Although not exactly puny, his height is made to seem even smaller by his wideness; despite having a pretty good fat-to-body ratio, or whatever those rich people call it, Collen is just noticeably large in a short way. His hair is a normal blond shade, shortish and slightly curly, and his blond eyebrows are thick and low to his eyes. His eyes themselves are a flat, dark blue color. Collen has large, unusually thin (for his size) fingers, with long uncut fingernails that he chews occasionally. He also has large feet, normally kept in a pair of old, dirty white tennis shoes. He carries a multitude of unused pokéballs from all over with him in his pockets.

OTHER:


~PERSONALITY: Collen loves to tinker with (generally stolen) pokéballs and other sundry items. His other passion is graffiti: his smeargle, Vango, helps him in this task but Collen himself really does have a knack for it. He prefers to stay away from the more violent side of gangsmanship, but he realizes that he can't avoid it all and follows most orders without any question.

NAME: Nicole-Maria Jefferson
AGE: Seventeen
GENDER: Female
GANG: Rhinestone Eyes
TAG NAME: "Nico"
APPEARANCE: Nicole-Marie is a little bit short, only around 5'4", and weighing 110.5 lbs. She has dark-auburn hair and her mother's hazel eyes, as well as some acne across her face. She is Caucasian in appearance, though tans on a regular basis and so she is somewhat bronzed. Nico has her short nails a hot pink color, her absolute favorite color. She also has full lips, a small pointed nose, and delicate features, like skinny fingers and long limbs. She is somewhat skinny in the torso region, another trait from her beloved parents.

Nico wears a purple sequined tank-top underneath a black v-neck, and black yoga pants with a grey band around the waist. She wears long sock with pictures of Liepards and Purrloins decorated all over them, and narrow black-and-white shoes.
OTHER: Takes a fancy to Nikolai "Ace", and tries to impress him by being as tough as possible. She is also known to take great care in her appearance, always fussing with her hair or getting angry if she chips a nail. She's somewhat prissy.
TEAM:
Rapidash [Jane, female] Nico's 'mon. She loves her dearly, and they have around the same personality: very preppy and prissy.
Delcatty [Eneko, male] Nico's pet from home who follows her around constantly.

NAME: David Hammers
AGE: 18
GENDER: Male
GANG: El Mañana
TAG NAME: Davey
APPEARANCE: Oddly well-kempt for a gang member, and very gentle-looking too. His hair is well-groomed and short, and his eyes are soft, dark amber. His face is round and youthful-looking, and he stands at about 5'5''. He dresses modestly, almost prissy for someone who's in a gang, showing an affinity for sweatervests.

OTHER: What sets Davey apart is that he is... well,many would call him insane. He just doesn't care. He'll taunt someone twice his size and do so with a smile. He takes blows and just keeps coming as if the pain doesn't bother him, even as he gets bloodied and bruised. He's also none-too-nice to his peers, either. He's the type who does what he wants, when he wants to do it, other people's feelings be damned.

Well that was a lot of signups real quick.

And to make one thing clear, our characters can interact completely normally with other gang members during the day, but not during the night.

Everyone accepted/reserved.

Also no Shadow no guns, we aren't really trying to kill each other.

Yet.
 
NAME: Ryder King

OTHER: He's rather loud and swears too much.

TEAM:

Hmmm...are cilivians permitted? People who aren't a member of either gang, but are just refusing to let themselves be cowed by the idea of a gang war? If not, put me on reserve for the Rhinestone Eyes.

A citizens' vanguard or vigilante force would be cool, and I'd jump in on it, but for now my character will be with El Mañana.

Name: Rico Hernandez
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Gang: El Mañana
Tag Name: Seneca
Appearance: Rico stands at around 5' 9" tall and has a somewhat slender build, though it is usually hard to gauge. He has messy, short, dark brown hair framing a round face with rather soft features. His skin is of a slightly tan complexion. Rico's usual mode of dress is a pair of jeans or cargo pants and a plain white t-shirt, under a light tan hoodie, with the hood almost always up. Going with the look, he is usually wearing a pair of rectangular sunglasses that hide dark brown eyes. His usual choice of footwear is a pair of brown athletic shoes.
Other: Rico is a relatively competent street tough. However, he's not really a tough, he's actually a rather nice guy once you get to know him. He doesn't like to reveal much about himself, and it shouldn't surprise you if he manages to contradict himself later when it comes to describing his past and his family. Rico is quite adaptable and willing to take on just about any assignment.
Team:
Espeon Hina, female
Leavanny Roxana, female
Pawniard Victor, male
Natu Marmith, male
