Closed The Ruins of Alph

Coloursfall

THIS IS HOW WE BLEED
"I think I've lost them."

A single four-legged figure stood on a junk-heap, tail twitching behind him. The sun was setting before him, shining off his golden eyes, his pupils feline slits. Cream-coloured fur stirred in a gentle breeze, and a long fur-braid flicked as well. The Persian was breathing heavily, pawing at the reeking pile. But the paw he was using wasn't flesh and blood - it was steel.

He leaped from the pile into the dump, winding his way between old piles of garbage, until he came upon an old gate. Pushing it with his nose, it creaked loudly, but gave in, opening enough for him to squeeze though. Beyond the gate was a shadowed world, tall grass, abandoned buildings, and strange caves. He sniffed at the air: a distinct smell of humans lingered, old. Safe. He stepped inside, and slithered though the grass, towards the ruins.

He entered one, and the place gave off an odd glow, and a smell of power.

This would be home.


You are one of many Pokemon that have been shoved away from their homes for many reasons, and have come to the Ruins to live, having heard rumours of a place where all Pokemon can stay. No-one recalls the names of the ruins, but they house strange Pokemon that none can seem to see... Those That Form Words dwell here.

Hopefully the humans don't find out that we do as well.

Rules:
-The usual
-I eats chatspeak. Nomnom.
-Mary-Sues are not permitted

Me~
Name: Edward
Species: Persian
Age: 20
Gender:
Appearance: Edward is a strong, lithe Persian. His right-front leg is made of steel, hacked off when he was young so he could be a efficient killing machine. He wears a braid of long fur on his head, and his eyes are gold. His body is scarred, a long one running down his back, and another over his left eye.
Bio: Born to a Persian mother and Delcatty father, Edward had two brothers, but was taken away from them shortly after his mother died. He once had belonged to a Rocket Executive, but when his owner died, the man's family chased him of for fear her would harm the younger members of the family. Since then he has lived in the ruins.
Personality: Edward is a bit...unhinged. He vowed revenge on the humans that harmed and mistrusted him, and had long ago snapped from pain and trauma. He loathes humans and those who sympathize with them. His only weakness is young Pokemon, especially felines, as they remind him of his younger siblings.
Other: Guess where he's from :0

Can I reserve a place for now?
I have a project to start off on right now so I can't type up the form till later.

Also if you can use Ed does that mean I can use Sheila or her siblings? Without demon of course. I've just been dying to play the part of one of her siblings. ><
 
Name: Halan Storm
Species: Lucario
Age: 30
Gender: Male

Appearance: He is tall for his kind and has scars from old battles from his past. His eyes are a pale blue and show quiet wisdom when he looks you in the eye. Around his neck, he wears a necklace fashioned by the small girl from odd rocks that her father brought her from his journeys. In his left ear, he has a hole that was created by a bullet shot at him when he was chased off from his home. Along his lonely journey, he found himself a messenger bag that he filled with objects he found interesting.

Bio: He was once a prized pokemon of a well known trainer, loved and adored by the trainer and his daughter. One day, his trainer was caught in a accident and died a painful death, leaving Halan and the small girl orphaned. To console the girl, he would stay in her room and help her sleep by resting next to her in her bed, holding her gently in his arms until she stopped crying. The girl's other family came one day to take the girl away to live with them and found Halan sleeping with the little girl. Believing the worse, they chased him away and shot at him to make sure he never returned. As he ran, he could hear the girl crying for him to come back, but he continued to run into the distance. He vowed to one day find the girl and kill the humans that took her away from him, taking her back to live with him once more. Like the family they really are.

Personality: He is cold and quiet at first meeting, rarely speaking to others he doesn't know. When he starts to warm up to people, he becomes more talkative, but can be seen as a mutt that talks like his older than he really is. He is wiser beyond his ears, with the occasional lapse into his younger sillier self. He doesn't do well with others trying to boss him around and attacking his moral values on life.

He is not against killing humans since the day he was chased out of his home for crimes he never committed, so for the most part him and Edward don't butt heads on the kill sprees. But his heart does grow soft for young pokemon and one human from his past. Only one human. All others can just drop dead for all he cares.

Other: He is, what we in the D&D world call "Chaotic Neutral". A line to describe that the means is as follows. "Might save your life. Might Steal your car". Also, the last name belonged to his trainer. It was given to him because he was like one of the family in the small family of his trainer, the small girl, and himself.
 
Name: Scarlet (is called "Scarlight" or just "Scar" at times.)

Species: Umbreon

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance: His rings are a scarlet red, and his eyes are yellow, like a shinies, but more goldenish. He has a scar above his left (our right) eye from past battles he was forced to do.

Bio: As an Eevee, his trainer pushed him to his best, starting just out of the egg. His trainer was really nice to him - until he got overly happy and evolved.

"I wanted you to become an Espeon!" she yelled, and kicked Scarlet.

It wasn't his fault if he was happy at night.

Then his trainer was the worst she could be; she treated Scarlet like dirt. His scar was obtained in a fight that he was almost killed in. And of course, his trainer didn't care. So, one night, when his Trainer was asleep, he got out of his ball. He broke the ball, and escsped into the night.

Personality: He was very bubbly - until after the evolution. Now he draws back, not trusting anyone but himself. If you earn his trust and respect, you truly are a good person.

hi thar

Name: Freezefire
Species: Weavile
Age: About 14, but who counts?
Gender: Female

Appearance: Weavile. Normal Weavile.

Bio: As a Sneasel, Freezefire actually laughed easily and was rather friendly. When her Trainer gave her a Razor Claw and she evolved, she started to become darker, and sometimes kill some of her opponents. After she killed one of her Trainer's friend's Pokemon, she was released, and eventually made her way to some odd ruins.

Personality: Rather sadistic, and does her best to get on everyone's bad side. She is however, rather trustworthy if you can crack her emotionless shell. Freezefire doesn't talk often, and when she does, is sarcastic. She has a short temper, but actually hopes that a human who can understand her will come along.

Other: Let's mix it up a bit :o

Done.

Reserve please.

also, have some chatspeak:

0M6 1 4M T3H H4X0R5!!

Have a nice meal :3
 
Reserve for now.

Name: Gaius

Species: Tangrowth

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Appearance: Tangrowth

Bio: Being the son of such a hilarious pair such as a female Tangrowth and a shiny male Roserade, Gaius grew up in a ranch where the owner sold the Pokémon once he thought they were old enough to battle on their own. Gaius had the bad luck of being sold to the wrong kind of person, the rather abusive kind, that is. But due his rather high amount of intelligence, he was able to figure out that if he pretended to be utterly retarded, he'd get to go back to to the ranch he came from. This plan kind of backfired, and he was simply kicked out. Seeing that it was better then nothing, Gaius went and tried to find somewhere to live.

Personality: While Tangrowth is is famous for being rather unintelligent, Gaius is a whole deal sharper then what one would believe, on the other hand, he is just as slow as any other Tangrowth.

Other: OVER 9000

Reserves reserved. C:

Also no, bio is not optional, I'd like to know why you were kicked out of your human's home. C:
 
How many characters are allowed?

Name: Nina (AKA Spark)
Species: Jolteon
Age: 11 ish (In.. Jolteon-years. Yes.)
Gender: Female.
Appearance: She's rather average as far as Jolteon go, slightly smaller than average but stronger than one would think. The other difference is her eyes. After an accident during a battle, she was almost completely blinded, and so she usually has her eyes shut, as it makes almost no difference, and seeing them scares others quite a bit.
Bio: Nina used to be owned by a professional trainer, who battled others to win money. While it wasn't something she would have chosen, her trainer was generally pretty kind to her and the other Pokemon, so she didn't really mind. However, during a very fierce fight with a Weavile, it slashed her across the face with its claws and.. you know the rest. After spending quite a while in a Pokecenter Nina recovered almost completely.. except her sight. Her trainer's kind demeanor suddenly vanished. With no use for a blind Pokemon, he didn't care at all about her, and eventually left her in the woods to fend for herself. She stayed there for months, learning how to detect other Pokemon (They, along with every other creature, all gave off very slight electric pulses). This didn't help much with trees, but it was enough to enable her to hunt, as well as following small flying-type Pokemon to berry bushes. In short, she learned to survive alone, too angry to look for her human, who clearly did not want her. Eventually, she heard of the ruins and followed another Pokemon there...
Personality: While she isn't normally shy, Nina always speaks rather softly and often isn't noticed by other, louder Pokemon unless she screams, which isn't rare. She always seems a little timid in unfamiliar places and situations and doesn't like being alone, ever. While she gets angry rather easily, Spark usually does not show it until she explodes, usually doing something extremely violent. For rather obvious reasons, she has a fear of Weaviles, and humans to a slightly lesser extent.

Name: Max (Rein)
Species: Espeon
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance: Rein's tail is completely split, meaning she has two tails, and her tummy's got a bump. Read more to see why.

Bio: Rein was originally bought by a rich family which earned their money on Pokémon contests. They bought Rein as an Eevee believing her to be a boy, and they called her Max. They were going to have her evolve into a Jolteon when she got older, and have her participate in Pokémon contests. However, it was a huge setback when they found out she was a female, as they had planned to have her entered in a Pokémon contest for only male Pokémon.

In between the time Rein had been adopted and kicked out, she fell in love with another contest Pokémon, a Houndour named Cerberus. After a while of admiring him from afar in contests, she decided to confess, and she was delighted to find out he felt the same. She felt a strange sensation in her stomach, and she evolved to an Espeon. The following night they had managed to get together and, well... 'make sweet love' You get what I mean :3.

When Rein returned to her owners, they didn't recognize her, and kicked her off the grounds. They would do that even if they knew that it was Rein, as they had planned to have her evolve to a Jolteon and not Espeon. Rein didn't understand why, and left owners and mate without saying goodbye.

She now resides within the Ruins of Alph.

Personality: Rein is often very depressed, due to her past.

Other: Rein is pregnant, in her 7th month, so she'll have a little bump :3. Oh, and she rarely tells anyone her real name, which she got from her former owners, to anyone else than the ones she trusts.

Alright, everyone so far accepted. C: And only one character per person I think, unless Kusa has anything to say about it.
 
Name: Yua

Species: Glameow

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: As normal, but her eyes are a dull dark green color, and the puff at the end of her tail is noticeably smaller, appearing to have been cut short.

Bio: Yua was born to a pair of purebred Purugly, owned by a highly decorated coordinator. She was the youngest of three sisters, and also lived with another of the coordinator's Pokemon, a just as highly decorated Espeon, named Ferran,

One day, though, she found Ferran dead, beaten and cut to death in a hallway at the home they lived in. Yua proved so stunned she couldn't do anything but remain by the body. However, their own returned home shortly afterward, and spotted Yua next to Ferran's corpse. For reasons unknown, he came to the conclusion that she killed Ferran.

Devastated, her owned tried to kill her, and Yua ran about the house, narrowly getting her tail cut off by a kitchen knife. She eventually jumped out an open window, and ran for it.

Something mysterious drew her to the ruins, where she decided to settle. Yua is ever determined to figure out who exactly killed Ferran.

Personality: Yua is shy and timid at first, speaking softly and easily intimidated by unfamiliar loud Pokemon, but easily warms up to many, and is a bit more talkative to those she finds kindhearted. She herself is quite nice, compasstionate, empathetic, and a good listener.

She has another side, though, which appears occasionally when the circumstances of Ferran's death comes up, or if she is angered. At that point, her tone of voice changes, becoming stern and cold, though not getting that much louder. She becomes assertive, and absolutely devoted to whatever is on her mind.

Other: Uh, yeah, you rock if you know what visual novel/anime I'm (vaguely) referring to.

I'm probably going to edit/post a character profile once I've thought up a good one. For now, this is a reserve
 
Name: Naso

Species: Xatu

Age: 12

Gender: Female

Appearance: The little red tuft things on the back of her head are a bit longer than is normal.

Bio: Naso was hatched in the Hoenn Safari Zone, and she grew up there. Eventually, she evolved into a Xatu, but soon after, she was caught by a trainer who had passed by on his way to Lilycove City. She trusted that he was wiser than her, and obeyed his commands in battle, and even began to like him a little bit. He was a very good strategist, but he ended up releasing her, thinking that she wasn't a full-potential Xatu. First, though, he forced her to breed with a Ditto until she produced a near-perfect son. She became depressed, feeling betrayed, and flew to Jhoto, where she had seen that something important would happen in the Ruins of Alph in her visions of the future. She has gone there to see exactly what happens while she tries to figure out how to get her chicks, who she naturally loves, back.

Personality: Naso likes to stay a little bit mysterious and cryptic. She thinks it give her a nice effect. She also likes to try to describe things, and often is thinking about things that no one else really understands.

Other:
 
Name: Henrietta

Species: Mightyena

Age: 23 (lolrandom)

Gender: Female

Appearance: A normal Mightyena, save for the scars on her back. See below.

Bio: Henrietta started off as a Poochyena under the care of a young, beginning trainer. While he had a great fondness of her, being his first Pokemon, he didn't quite raise her right. She would often faint in battle. This infuriated her, and she blamed him for all her losses. One day, when he sent her out against a wild Scyther, she got fed up and tried to run away. Before she could escape, it charged at her and slashed her across the back, wounding her badly. In the process, she evolved, killing the Scyther and abandoning her trainer. Even after the evolution, the huge scars still remained. When she arrived at the ruins, it was to her dismay that there were already others, but she had no where else to stay.

Personality: With highly competitive mind and vicious temperament, Henrietta generally dislikes others, especially humans. She is always looking for a fight to make up for her losses from before and takes it very seriously. While it may not look like it, she actually enjoys studying the ruins.

I LOVE YOUR RPS, FM! /AND KUSA/

form time:

Name: Blaise
Species: Growlithe
Age: 13 or so (I'm assuming human years)
Gender: Male

Appearance: The most striking and obvious thing about the Growlithe is that he's shiny. Yep, shiny. Blaise's 'hair' is longish and falls over his forehead. Blaise is forever flipping it away from his face. His hair is shaggy, and the golden color is more dingy than a normal, highly-prized shiny's. Blaise's stripes go a bit further down his sides than usual, and his claws are longer than he's used to.

Bio: As you may have gathered, Blaise isn't quite the well-groomed specimen most shinies are. But that's not to say that he didn't use to be. Before he ended up in the cave area, Blaise was a pristine, pampered, posh Growlithe, owned by a young girl who was, if neglectful, not too annoying and very, very rich. But one day, she crossed the line into 'lord I hate her' territory.

One day, Kaitlyn, for that was the name of the girl, had a 'tea party'. She and all of her shallow, spoiled friends squealed about how cute Blaise was, and dressed him up in dresses, for Mew's sake.

And so, it was completely natural and logical for Blaise, when one of the airhead bimbos tried to pinch his cheeks, to bite her. It wasn't even that hard; It hardly broke the skin. But of course, Kaitlyn and her parents didn't see it that way. Oh no, they decided to kick the little demon dog out, before he maimed anyone else's rich and respectable children.

So Blaise barely dug out a living, feeding off of garbage and drifting from place to place. The Growlithe eventually found his way to the cave.

Personality: Blaise has had a little bit of trouble acclimitizing to his sudden change of enviroment. Sure, he's glad to be rid of the horrid girl, but he does miss the free food and board. He's now a bit mistrusting to strangers, and is confident in his ability to fight, even though the biggest thing he ever fought was a scraggly Meowth.

Other: UNOWN FTW
 
My form:

Name: Fero

Species: Drapion

Age: 36

Gender: Male

Appearance:
fero.png


Bio: Fero was a pokemon born and raised for one single purpose: Hunting for his master. Since he was a Skorupi, the prospect of hunting down and killing has been beaten into his brain. He had became obsessed with hunting, taking great pleasure in tracking down and killing pokemon for his master. Unfortunately, he took the prospect too far (i.e. killed more than necessary), and was kept in his pokeball many times because of this. During one particularly violent hunt, he lost control and went on a rampage. Because the hunt's intensity, and his rampage following the hunt, he went insane, gaining a split personality. He was sane enough to know that this rampage had marked him for death, so he fled, eventually finding the ruins

Personality: Fero is best described as Schizophrenic. Part of him is the hunting and killing obsessed side that he's had since birth, while he also has a cold and calculating side that he gained during insanity. He only has one side "speaking" while the other side is the one "thinking." There are times when the two sides are speaking simultaneously, and that can cause some strange reactions from those who don't know him. No matter which side is dominant, Fero usually remains hidden, emerging only when he senses vulnerable prey.
