Open The Hunt for The Ceus Stone

Name: Joshua
Age: 31
Gender: ♂
Species: Zangoose

Appearance: Joshua is a normal-looking Zangoose by most standards, a good-sized, vaguely feline sort of creature with a flexible body and long claws. His markings are a very slightly darker red, though not easily noticeable, and his claws are black. He has a few, mostly small, scars on his body, the largest a bite mark on his left shoulder.

Personality: Joshua is a master of the double life. He seems very sweet and doting, even fatherly, at times, but homicidal and murderous at others. He is, strangely, able to keep these two personalities separate with an expert ease, and very few who know him are aware of the blood thirsty side...

History: Joshua was fairly normal most of his life, raised by a Zangoose family until he was old enough to join the hunting pack. Soon after that, however, his pack banished him for one of their greatest crimes; mating with a Seviper. He left with his love, and the two lived in peace for a short while, until the egg was laid and his mate died. He was left with the egg and his mental disorder, switching between the two whenever he needs to, usually on a hunt or such. He cares for his daughter very much, and is taking her with him on his journey to find the stone and restore his beloved to life with it's power.

Other: moon-panther is gunna be his daughter <:
 
FMC, you're accepted. And now, for my other:

Name: Horus
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Appearance: He looks like your average everyday staraptor; having the appearance of a large bird of prey with a large red crest on his head and a jagged pattern on his chest. However, his beak and talons are sharper, his head has a somewhat curved shape, and he has a small bag slung around his neck. Exactly how he can open the bag and access the notes inside is unknown
Species: Staraptor
Personality: Horus is an archaeologist, and being that he exists in the distant past, there's not much to study up on except the myths and legends of the world. He's very eccentric about these ancient legends, and will stop at nothing to find out everything there is to find out about them. Sometimes, he can be overly eccentric, and many pokemon see him as an annoyance, albeit one who knows much about the Stone
History: Even as a young starly, Horus was obsessed with the ancient legends of the world, and often explored the area around his nest. it was one such exploration that saved his life; while he was out, something destroyed his nest, and his parents were nowhere to be found. Assuming the worst, he began to trek outward, fully evolving as he did so. He found countless artifacts related to the stone, among them being fragments of a tablet bearing the description "Three Sisters," and countless more that were written in the language of the Ancient beings. He was among the first to hear of the sightings of the Stone, and began to gather as much information as he could regarding the ancient artifact, in hopes that his finding of it would make him a legend among archaeologists. Much of the tablets that he's bringing along have information regarding the Ceus Stone, but they aren't yet translated, so while he's hunting down the Stone, he plans on translating them in his downtime.
Other:
 
Name: Ride

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance: Ride is a regular Breloom, meaning that he is a bipedal kangaroo-like creature standing about four feet tall, with a mushroom cap on top of his head, red claws, and a thick, powerful tail with four poisonous spores at the tip. Ride has a slightly different hue than regular Brelooms though; instead of olive green, his cap, lower body, and tail spores are pine green, and the spore on his head cap as well as his claws are yellow. Ride blames his strange coloring on all the time he spent messing around Mt. Chimney.

Species: Breloom

Personality: Ride is an eternally happy Breloom -- nothing seem to be able to get him down, and, although he can be discouraged at times, he will always spring right back up a few seconds later. Ride is always looking on the brighter side of things, and, even when things seem grim, one could always depend on him to brighten up the atmosphere (or try to, anyway). Ride is also quite excitable and may seem even hyper at times, which may annoy some of the more serious pokemon and people, but it's all in good spirits. Ride is also quite friendly and won't refuse to help those in need. He is also quite adventurous and not afraid to take risks, because, hey, what could go wrong?

History: Ride was born in Petalburg Woods, a large, forest between what will later become Rustboro City and Petalburg City. Like most other Shroomish, he had lived there for a better part of his life, not knowing and caring about the world, until the fateful day when the Skarmory came. The Skarmory was lost after a recent storm, and he rested in the woods for a while. In the beginning, most pokemon stayed away from the strange new creature, but Ride, being his friendly self, decided to chat with the Skarmory because the bird looked lonely. The Skarmory told Ride about the world beyond the forest as well as the Ceus Stone, and Ride decided that he ought to go exploring one day and "expand his sights", as the Skarmory had put it. So Ride, still a Shroomish, hitched a ride to Route 113 with the Skarmory. At first, Ride had a hard time adapting to the new life -- there's volcanic ashes everywhere and it was hot. However, his eagerness to make friends and his hard training helped, and he soon evolved into a Breloom. During his stay at Route 113, Ride continued to hear about the rumor of the Ceus Stone, and his curiosity finally got better of him and he decided to go search for the stone.

Other:
 
Name: Ace

Age: 14(human years)

Gender: Male

Appearance: Ace looks like a normal tyranitar, being big, green and mean looking. However, he has some differences- his head horns are bigger than the usual, but only a little, he has (minorly) bigger holes in his body, and his claws, fangs and back horns are, while not very long, extremly sharp.

Species: Tyranitar

Personality: Ace is a playful tyranitar, and isn't very much mature. The main reason he evolved fast is that he has a tendacy to challenge others to battle for no apparent reason, gaining power and experience with each battle. While he is pretty much Naive, he knows that sometimes he has to take things seriously. When Ace is angry, and that is rare, he started beating everyone around up, as long as they aren't friends of his, or allies fo sorts. He has a great liking for eating mushrooms, and is more or less a vegetarian, the reason he was kicked out of his 'clan'.

History: When Ace was born, he was a playful little Larvitar, always seeking out others to play with. He normally got into trouble with the pupitars, and decided he wanted to become strong. He fighted more or less every other clan member, gaining strength quickly. After becoming a pupitar, something very strange happened. He met an aggron, a species that was never seen around his clan's area, and asked him who he was. The aggron told him about the ceus stone, and it's incredible power. In addition, he told him that he was vegetarian, because he was sorry for all those that were killed for food. From that day on, Ace was vegetarian and tried to find a way to get the ceus stone to be able to come back to his clan to prove them being a vegetarian was good.

Other:None AT THE MOMENT.
 
Second character.

Name: Lars

Age:14

Gender:Male

Appearance: Lars, just like his cousin Ace, is pretty much average in size, wieght and overall appearece. However, he is a little bigger than average and has longer leaves(see my avi for more detail) than the average Turtwig has. His eyes are a little bigger than that of a regular turtwig, although it's minor, and the yellow coloured part fo his legs are a little bigger(not in size, the area covered in yellow). He also has small claws on his legs, making them look a litle like those of a grotle, although they aren't very much big, they are sharp.

Species: Turtwig

Personality: Lars is a friendly Turtwig that always enjoys a game. He likes puzzles, riddles and adventures, and dislikes it when other pokemon call him a 'brainiack'.
Lars, while hardly using violence for real, enjoys fighting for the fun of it, or, in other words, training. He has a notable dislike for bug pokemon, and the two pokemon he hates the most are slugma+magcargo(snail) and drapion(some big bug thingy).
Strangely enough, Lars enjoys eating meat, and although he mainly eats fruit and vegetables, he likes to eat meat because he claims it's tasty and fills the stomach for longer time than plants do.

History: Lars was born in a clan made of turtwigs, grotles and Torterras. There, everyone believed that evolution is a must. Lars, however, had found out that it was hard to keep up to this rule when one day, when he was still 4, he ended up swallowing an everstone after thinking it was an apple, seeing it was covered in red color.
Lars was expelled from his Clan, and decided to move to another one, finding himself in Ace's clan soon enough, since the two clans were close to each other.
Lars and Ace were kicked out from there, too, after Ace told everyone was vegetarian.
Lars wants to find the ceus stone for two reasons:
First one is to use it for the good of others, and the second, more important(for him) reason is to keep the legendary stone from falling into the wrong hands.

Other: Lars is Ace's cousin.
 
Lars' other charcter is accepted, though how a Turtwig and a Tyranitar can be related is a mystery to me.

Also, it's about time we have a Stone-Hunter who's hunting it for the good of others

Yes, yes I did mean the character. Even my characters' motives aren't exactly noble (one wants the power, the other wants the glory.)
 
Name: Lux
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Species: Seviper

Appearance: She is a rather normal looking Seviper. Her purple marking are darker than usual, but not many notice this trait that often. He fangs are a bit shorter and her black skin a tone lighter do to her "condition" when she was born.

Personality: She is out-spoken and would like to be more adventurous, but do to her "condition" she has to stick close to her father. She hates that her life is being wasted by staying at home and not experiencing life to it's fullest, but she knows that she doesn't have much choice.

History: As long as Lux could remember, she lived alone with her father whom took care of her everyday when she was born with a blood related illness. She was often told stories of her mother and how she looks very much like her. Lux is dependent on her father, whom has been giving her a mixture of various things to try to cure her of her weakened state. She believes that she's been getting better, but after each time she takes the medicine, she feels weak and falls back into a mild depression when she realizes that she hasn't gotten better at all.

Her father has taken her on his journey for the stone, in hopes that he could bring back her mother. Secretly, Lux wants to use the stone after her mother returns to cure her of her unknown illness that keeps her weak and unable to move very far without her father.

Other: Lux depends on her Daddy. But even then, she doesn't know about his other sides.
 
Name: Krae
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Species: Lucario

Appearance: Krae is a bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon that's around four feet in height. His forepaws are black and have one white spike on each arm on the upper-side of its wrists. In addition, there's a third spike on his chest. Krae's snout and ears have also grown longer since its evolution from Riolu. He also has a furry yellow torso, and its thighs are in the shape of what looks like blue shorts.

Personality: A very inquisitive pokemon. He always wants to know what things are and how they work. He is very self reliant. Preferring to work alone. He hate being manipulated. He is also slow to anger, and a little stoic. He tends speaks his mind, and makes sure he is heard, as he hates being ignored.

History: As a Riolu, he was living alone his whole life. his only companion, was his sanity. He always stole, that was the only way to survive. Because of his constant stealing, it lead him to be inquisitive. Very inquisitive. That lead him to travel around, but eventually, he settled around Hoenn. But not for long. Once he heard the rumor of the Ceus Stone, and that in holds a secret. A secret that he was adamant on finding out first. Once he finds the stone and learns its secret, he will use it for himself, good, or bad.

You are both accepted. We shall begin... wait for it... NOW!
----
"Are you finished?"

Horus looked up from the tablet he was reading. A crimson Bronzong was hovering behind him. Though the metallic face could show no emotion, the Staraptor got the impression of irritation and impatience.

"Well, no. I need to look over this tablet one more time to get an idea of where we're going. If the rumors are true, then the Stone would be somewhere up n-"

The Bronzong shot forward until his face was an inch away from Horus'

"Well, since we know it's somewhere to the north, why, pray tell, are we not on the move?"

"Because I want to pinpoint it," Horus shot back turning around as he did so, "We don't want to overshoot and find ourselves too far up north, now would we?"

He was disappointed when he got no response. Turning around, he was surprised to see that his ally was no longer there. Instead, the Bronzong was floating ahead of him.

"Wait! That wasn't permission for you to leave without me! Come back!"

Malum gave a hollow sigh. he had only agreed to ally with the Staraptor because the bird's knowledge would be useful to him. With his information, they could find the Stone easily, and once they did...

Well, the Bronzong would burn that bridge when the time was right.

For now, though, he would have to put up with Horus, and everything about him.

Ignoring the flustered yells of his ally, Malum floated on.
 
((Dear me, I never thought about where I might start. Mind if I use your entrance to build on, Exo?))

"Hm," a ragged Espeon murmurred from the shadows, "Now might be a good opportunity. Mistress?"

"Right," the scarlet Delcatty nodded, "The Staraptor is the brainy one. He'll make a nice prisoner. Unfortunately for him, his accomplice seems quick to disown him...."

On cue, Gladys the Espeon stepped forward, motioning for everyone to follow, everyone being Ruby along with a dozen lesser cat Pokemon. He then began to speak.

"Now, now. Why the yelling?" Gladys narrowed his eyes at Horus. "We don't want to attract attention."

"Hee. We've been watching you with much interest," said Ruby, walking in front of the bird Pokemon. "What's that you've got there?" she motioned with her tuft-tipped tail towards the tablet. "It looks... important."

"Indeed. In fact, I do believe we'll be needing it for our search," added Gladys.

"But there's no need to let us have it," Ruby sat up. "That is, if you don't mind coming with us."

Gladys glanced over his shoulder. That Bronzong will be with them shortly, he knew. "Cats, surround Mistress Ruby. We may have trouble."
 
Lars' twigs twitched, ponting to the south. The little turtwig stood up, his gigantic twigs doing the same. He yawned, and pointed to the south. "Battle sounds."

"So?" Asked Ace, a gigantic Tyranitar with a dark glow around him, that was around Lars' age.

"We'll go investigate." He said, and stood up. The forest they were in was silent, so picking up noises was easy.

"Investigating is nice!" The tyranitar said and jumped a little, landing with a thud after each jump.

"I'll go forward and scout, and you'll stay hidden. Once I'll engage combat, you'll use our old trick, and if it won't work, we'll just have to kick their asses." He grinned at the last words.

"Fine!" Ace said as both started running towards the noise, Ace hiding in the shados and Lars in the open.

Once Lars reached the scene, he saw who fought against whom- a staraptor and a bronzong against lots of cats that were protecting someone.

Grass energy started charging in his leaves, and shouted "What's going on here?" with a hiss.

Ace readied his fist, black energy loading around it.

((Me and Linoone decided our characters are cousins, so...))
 
Joshua sighed as he tromped through the undergrowth, a small frown on his face. His patted at the scales of his daughter, who he had draped around his shoulders to carry, gently to see if she was asleep or not. He could hear sounds in the distance, and they sounded...promising. He started to walk in that direction.

Soon, he came to a place where he could smell a lot of Pokemon; bird-smell, metal-smell, cat-smell, fox-smell, dinosaur-smell...lots of different kinds. He examined each carefully as well he could, his red eyes narrowed a bit.

"Lux, sweetie? You should get off of me and sit for a while...just in case I have to defend you. Okay baby?" He whispered, his voice soft and gentle.

Lux opens her mouth, long fangs reflecting a bit in the light light, and let out a long yawn. She opens her eyes. She sniffs a bit, smelling the other pokemon around them.

And the lingering smell of blood and death. She shakes a bit, feeling a little weak.

"Dad...was I away too long? I don't remember falling asleep..."

She slips off of her father's shoulders and looks around a bit, a bit confused at her surroundings.

"...Where...I could have sworn the last thing I saw were...bodies...the smell of the dead..."
 
Joshua leaned down and kissed Lux's forehead gently, running a paw over her head. He frowned a bit, and it made the Zangoose look much older than he was. He stroked his daughter's scales gently for a moment, listening to her speak. He frowned even more.

"You missed your medicine, and fell unconscious... You were just dreaming, a nightmare." He said, turning back to watch the other Pokemon. He let the claws on the paw that wasn't on Lux's head to slide out, long, deadly, and razor sharp.
