[Open]The Sundering of the World[OOC]

Name: Cyrus

Race/Species: Human

Age: 19

Gender:Male

Appearance: A fairly tall person, he looks much thinner than he really is. He has brown hair that is unkept and uneven. He generally wears dark clothes, his hoodie being black with a silvery insignia on each shoulder, and dark jeans. His skin is fairly pale, though not to the point of being sickly, and his eyes are a hollow gray color. (Picture!)

Personality: Despite his dark attitude and appearence, he is very much kind in the heart. He'll almost never confide, almost always covering any sympathy with, for example, a "get off the ground, you're embarassing yourself" type of encouragement. He is very often rude, and tries to keep to himself, though on a rare ocassion, he softens up. This most often occurs in the company of his Pokemon.

Homeland: Hoenn

Occupation: He was a student learning about astronomy. Rather, a drop-out NOT learning about it.

Background: Most of his life was simple, and dull. He'd spend long nights staring at the night sky rather than sleep. When he was given his first Pokemon, the two would spend much of their time in this manner, and they grew close. He barely managed to pass high school, and by some miracle, was accepted as a student of astrology. He quickly became bored with the teacher, and resumed his old fashion of ditching to go stare into space with his own telescope. He was expelled shortly before the Burning Legion arrived.

Pokemon Owned:

Lucario Balien, Male: The only one Cyrus has ever seemed to care about. He is very much similar to Cyrus in his personality, due to spending so much time with him.

Other: ... That was fun. I've been wanting to make an angsty character for quite some time, now. (I assume that I'll need a form for Balien if I want to really use him? If not, then... Then I guess I won't make a form. :D)

I haven't had a decent Pokemon role-play in a long time...
(Just to let you guys know, I haven't played a 24-year-old character before so I might make her act a little weird... Not to mention sometimes I post when I'm tired or distracted and my characters can end up making fools of themselves.)

Name: Haru

Race/Species: Human

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Appearance: Haru is of average height, but she has a lean build. She's not hugely athletic, but she enjoys her outside time and fresh air. Her face is rather pointed, and although she's considered an adult, her green eyes still seem to have a childishness in them sometimes. She has short black hair that hangs around her face, and also short bangs in the front. She wears normal, almost boring gray-rimmed glasses with rectangular lenses. Usually she can look quite scientific and mainly likes wearing light colors, especially white. However, she is a dog Pokemon enthusiast and sometimes she has an image of one of those on her shirt. Her jacket is dark blue, contrasting the rest of what she wears, though she usually doesn't wear it unless it's very cold outside. Usually she wears jeans or something of the sort, though she dresses warmer in cool weather.

Personality:
Haru is serious and studious on the outside, but if she's not researching something, she can be surprisingly light-hearted. She enjoys helping others, especially with things like school. It's easy for her to focus on things, even when there is a lot going on around her, which makes her a good person for solving problems and being a leader. She is a hard worker, and loves reading, though sometimes she does it too much, going to the extent of staying up late. Her favorite thing to do is sit outside and read, especially if she has her Pokemon out with her. Though she mainly loves canid Pokemon, she is open to all kinds. Haru has a powerful sense of duty and justice, and is adamant in nature. She's persistent and doesn't give up on anything, though this means that she can also be argumentative. Sometimes she can be quiet, and prefers to be on her own. And though she doesn't mind socializing, she's usually not one to start a conversation. She also comes up with strange names for her Pokemon...

Homeland: Hoenn

Occupation: Mostly researched Pokemon biology, and also trained them for a first-hand account.

Background: Haru grew up in Petalburg City, which compared to Rustboro to the north was pretty small. Her house was on the outskirts, and often Haru ventured to Petalburg Woods when she was young. Though she enjoyed watching the Bug Pokemon that inhabited the area, she was also fascinated by the sole Dark-type that lived nearby, Poochyena. Her family had one as a pet since she was born, so she had always liked them. Her habit of venturing outside and watching the wild ones alongside her pet got her interested deeply in them, and eventually she gained an affinity for other canine Pokemon as well. Starting from a young age, she went to the Trainer's School, which usually resulted in a long walk through the woods. Of course, Haru enjoyed this. She especially liked her science class, and did better in it than anything else, so eventually she decided to pursue that area of study.

When Haru was 13, she finally became a Trainer, though her introduction to it was rather unofficial. She no longer had her pet -- her family had to give it away when they moved to Rustboro years before so that Haru could go to school -- but she caught a Poochyena to learn how to battle, and she considered that the beginning of her career. She never did get a starter Pokemon from Professor Birch because she tended to do schoolwork more than battle. She spent a lot of time with her Poochyena when she wasn't in school, and studied with it as a companion.

In the next few years, Haru finished school and went to college to get a degree in science; more specifically, fieldwork. Haru was able to travel reasonable distances around the region to see what Pokemon were there, and as she traveled, she caught a few more. It went over with reasonable success, and after she finished college, she began work for the Devon Corporation, which was conveniently close to her house. By then, she had grown more serious with battling, and her Pokemon friend Runa had evolved into a Mightyena some time before. And it was lucky that she had, because soon, the mysterious and dark happenings around other regions began. Though she might be going too far, Haru has decided that she will take part in defending the Pokemon world.

Pokemon Owned:
Mightyena Runa [F] - Haru's first Pokemon, and the one that is closest to her. Haru usually has Runa for a companion rather than a battling partner. Though Runa appears fierce, she is really quite docile. She sometimes goes out on her own, though she doesn't stay away for long.

Manectric Miles [M] - Even though he is Haru's second Pokemon, he is junior to Runa in the hierarchy. Like his Trainer, he has a strong sense of duty, and is more enthusiastic about battling than Runa is. However, he does think before he acts and is overall very wise.

Linoone Bumpy [M] - He highly enjoys running around and playing, and prefers it much to battling. He can be timid sometimes and reluctant to fight back, preferring to just run away, and hates being alone. But when he has friends and his Trainer with him, he can be surprisingly fierce.

Growlithe Fu [M] - He was given to Haru when she entered her research department, since she showed an interest in canid Pokemon. He started off her interest in evolution stones, and though he hasn't been with her for very long, he's quite loyal. He's still young, so he can be distracting, but can also cheer Haru up if she's in a dark mood, which is rare. When he was given to Haru, he retained his name that his previous owner had given him. Fu's previous owner told Haru that his name means "wind."

Purrloin Renai [F] - Yes, a feline Pokemon next to dog Pokemon. You wouldn't think it would work out well, but Renai actually gets along with the others. She enjoys playing, so she gets along well especially with Fu, though she also likes learning various skills from the older Pokemon. She can be mischievous sometimes, and occasionally she tries to be the boss, but she has a sense of humor unmatched by anyone else in Haru's team.

Other: Tell me if I need to fix anything with her background; as I said, I haven't played a character old enough to have gone through college before...
 
Well, you're up there anyway.

Anyway, here's my character for the mortals:

Name: Kathris Stareye

Race/Species: Night elf

Age: 9,743

Gender: Female

Appearance: Kathris looks like most night elf females, towering over most humans at 6' 11", and possessing a slim, athletic build, muscular, yet graceful. Her eyes are the same as most others', silver with a slight glow. Her skin is a middling shade of violet. Her hair is a dark purple, usually around shoulder-length. Like anyone of her race, Kathris has very long eyebrows and long, pointed ears which extend outward and backward. Her method of dress may seem a bit 'showy' by this world's standards, but it doesn't restrict her movement, which is more important.

Personality: After thousands of years of isolation, Kathris finds it hard, like many of her race, to trust the 'younger' races, including humans. Considering the circumstances, she's yet to find a reason to start trusting humans now. Normally, she is a tough, steadfast warrior who looks out for her comrades. Only truly comfortable in the forests of northern Kalimdor, this new place often leaves her disoriented and awkward at navigation. However, in combat, Kathris finds her place, adept at thinking on her feet, adapting to changing situations, and staying calm.

Homeland: Ashenvale

Occupation: Archer for the Sentinels, huntress in peacetime

Background: Born shortly (well, a few centuries) after the War of the Ancients, a distant relative of the not-so well-received Desdel Stareye. Kathris didn't experience the full might of the Burning Legion for nine millenia, when the Legion invaded for the second time. Until then, she lived a relatively peaceful life through the Long Vigil. She fought all throughout the Third War. However, determined to hunt down the demonic threat, Kathris set out to venture across Azeroth with others after the night elves joined the Alliance. During a patrol of the Outland, her party stumbled upon a portal, previously unknown. Demons discovered them just as they found it and cornered them. Losing badly, Kathris at the end had little choice but to jump through. She ended up in Hoenn, on Route 110 in the grass. Police discovered her and, in paranoia over otherworldly invaders, jailed her. Not wanting to hurt anyone yet, she went along.

Other: Nothing yet.
 
Name: Amanda Rekonda
Race/Species:Human
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Appearance: A brunette with a fire symbol tee and some jeans. Her hair goes to the middle of her back.
Personality: Lazy, Snarky, and a procrastinator that is a pessimist. Though she becomes fierce in battle. ((like my grammar?))
Homeland: Unova
Occupation: exotic dancer Bred endangered Pokémon with the Professor ((starters))
Background: Amanda's parents didn't want her, so she grew up in the care of her grandparents, who were good friends with Cedric Juniper. So by proxy, she became his good friend and was able to work with his daughter on why starters were as rare as they were.
Pokemon Owned:
Samurott ((MALE)) [See Occupation]
Krookodile ((MALE))

Escavalier ((MALE))
Scrafty ((MALE))
Other: Extra information.
 
Name: Shadow
Species: houndoom
Age: lvl 35
Gender: Male
Appearance: looks like normal houndoom but is silver (like shiny ninetails) and the bones are red, (if allowed his left eye will be gone and have a scar across it from the torture)
Personality: very mysterious no one has ever really meet him in person unless they attack him.
Hometown: Dragon's den in Blackthorn.
Occupation: Mysterious Steanger (I help then dissapear or used to until this happened, no I'm a fighter but a loner until some group of good people/ pokemon find me)
Background: Abandonded as a pup he found his way to the dragons den and trained there. After team galactic captured him he was tortured. He escapes and has since them helped from the Shadows.
Moves: Shadow ball, Dark Pulse, heat wave, thunder fang.(I have pokedex app so I checked moves) he also knows Shadow force but as a escape/teleport move not attack.
(I am not trying to make my character seem powerful, he is almost blind but uses dark aura to see, has a slight fear of battle and blood, and blames himself when a pokemon dies near him) (he is more of a healer then a fighter, dark pulse can slightly heal dark/fighting types, thunder fang will slightly help electric, and heat wave will help fire(if that is ok and like I said it is only slightly helping them.)
Thanks
 
It looks like you skipped over my form... I think we posted pretty close to the same time, though. My form should be above your last post.

Mine was also skipped it seems.
 
Sorry for the delay. I have one of my two characters finished now, and the other should be finished later tonight.

Name: Zook
Race/Species: Faerie Dragon
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Appearance: Zook seems to blend in quite well with the Pokémon in this new world, and most that have seen him just figure he's a rare Pokémon species. Like most Faerie Dragons, he's small, roughly a two feet long if you include his long tail, and appears like a light blue lizard, with butterfly wings and mothlike antennae. He's always surrounded by a light-bluish glow, but the intensity of this glow changes based upon how much energy he's using.
Personality: He appears to be quite cutesy, playful, curious, somewhat erratic and eccentric, but in many ways, this is just a front. There's something quite mysterious about him, and behind his flitty facade lies a cunning, conniving creature.
Homeland: Not the Pokéworld. It's said that he initially came from the Emerald Dream.
Occupation: Will be revealed later
Background: It's not known what kind of connection he has with the Burning Legion, but he arrived about the same time they did
Pokemon Owned: N/A
Other: He requires magical or life energy in order to live and use his abilities, and can absorb and redirect energies from his environment.
 
Darksong: Ah, sorry about that. Looks lovely, accepted.

Wargle: I apparently put your name under the approved characters and forgot to post a message saying so. Also, you double-posted, please clean that up.
 
My second character:

Name: Kali Shadiya
Race/Species: Flygon
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Appearance: When standing in a natural, dinosaur-like stance, Kali is roughly 7½ feet tall and 15½ feet long from snout to tailtip. She has large, broad wings, and is a bright, luscious lime green color.
Personality: Kali is quite smart and crafty, on a similar level with humans yet sees the world from Flygon eyes. She's quite proud of her society and wishes to see it flourish, yet remains wary of humans, realizing that their society is only becoming more and more advanced. She has interests in politics, history, economics, and wants a greater understanding of how the world works outside of just her homelands. While she's too young to hold public office, she can prepare herself for her desired future...
Homeland: Hoenn Desert
Occupation: Scout/Diplomat
Background: Kali hails from a rather large, yet well hidden Flygon Nation within the Hoenn Desert. Very few humans have seen the rather impressive set of concrete and glass structures amongst the viscious sandstorms, intense heat, and crippling lack of moisture... and even fewer have returned to tell about it, to the point that it's almost like a myth, a secret protected by the 'spirit of the desert' itself. One day, one of her younger sisters, Karactus, had disappeared under her watch, and Kali flew off in search of her. She found Karactus mingling with a human at the edge of the 'forbidden zone', basically the furthest in a human would be allowed to wander without intervention. Needless to say, this represented a serious glitch in security, as if trainers felt emboldened enough to try to seige through the desert, it would inevitably lead to war. Kali had to make a quick decision among three tough choices... try to kill the human, try to ward him away - which inevitably would mean losing her sister to him, or let him into her world, with the caveat that he wouldn't be able to go back...
Pokemon Owned: N/A
Other: Are we ready to start now?
 
Heads up, I am allowing one more person to side with the Burning Legion. You can be a trainer or Pokemon. If you haven't joined yet, or now have second doubts, it's first come first serve.
 
Pretty much everyone is going to be in Slateport, assuming your characters are volunteering to fight. This is a short lull in the action to try and get folks acquainted with each other, detail the situation a bit, and for me to lay down some preliminary villainy.

Alright, new guy:

Name: Pavel Wallace Huang
Race: Human
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Appearance: An average looking man standing at around 5' 8", Pavel usually looks tired to some extent. Usually, he is seen wearing a navy blue policeman's uniform, though nowadays it's a mess. Think Generation IV's policeman sprite. He has short black hair and dark brown eyes.
Personality: Pavel is often either hurried or worried, but usually he can keep a positive outlook on things and make sure everyone is comfortable. He looks after the refugee community in Slateport as well as he would the regular citizens, and will protect them to the extent of his ability.
Homeland: Slateport City, Hoenn
Occupation: Policeman
Background: A native of the area, Pavel has an unfortunate run-in with Team Magma and Team Aqua as a child, caught in a fierce battle between the two. However well he may have fought with his Pokemon, though, it didn't undo the damage caused and the lives lost. From then on, he figured one way to stop these criminal organizations was to be proactive, and what better way than to join the police forces?

Many years later, the Burning Legion came, demolishing two whole regions. The Slateport police helped get the refugees settled within the city. However, in the process, many died from mysterious causes. Nothing could seemingly be done about it, and so, after a brief grieving, the police chief put Pavel, one of the last officers assigned to the refugees, in charge of the whole thing.

Now he is responsible for making sure the refugees are well-fed and sheltered. By extension, he is also responsible for gathering up volunteers for the plan to return to Johto.
