Pokemon: Uprising of the Sky Dragon OOC [AntarcticTermit & IstariaDragon]

[Antarctic Termite]

Chaos?
Do you think you understand chaos?
I think not.
Chaos is when your rival betrays you.
Chaos is when an underling rebels, steals, and kills.
Chaos is when the peace is broken.
Let me tell you a story about an uprising.
Many years ago it happened. Days when Pokemon ruled the world.
Days when spirits and deities still walked the mortal earth.
Perhaps after I tell you-
After you've heard of Rayquazas attack on the ruler of the heavens-
After you've been told of the time when the sky was broken and earth tainted by violence-
After you've known of how two heroes changed the fate of the world-
Perhaps, then, you will understand.

I'll try to keep this unfixed and not add too much detail, because otherwise we would just be roleplaying a story we both know and that would be no fun~

The world this roleplay takes place in is ruled by Arceus, who long ago forged a weapon known as the Space Orb to keep the realm in peace and the other legendaries in line. The Orb was an engine of incredible power, and even when locked away and used only in direst need, it was enough to bring the early battles to a halt. In the long time of peace, the Pokemon of the world gathered into provinces and city-states, each ruled by a legendary Pokemon under Arceus. There was distrust and rivalry between the rulers, but in fear of the Orb under Arceus' power and for the security of their provinces, they stayed in line.

Rayquaza, however, had fought for supremity with Arceus in the battles before the peace began, and nearly won. He remembered this with anger for millenia, always power-hungry and seeking a way to usurp Arceus.

Eventually, the peace was broken as Rayquaza and his Agents stole the Space Orb from Arceus' palace/city, and spirited it away to unlock its secrets and master its power. The known world exploded into violence as stability and trust in the other Legends dissolved.

This is where the main characters come in to find and retrieve the Space Orb.

Roleplaying ensues~

Name: Drake.

Gender: Mail.

Species: Empoleon.

Preferred moves: Icicle crash, Steel wing, Waterfall, Drill peck.

Ability: Defiant.

Nature: Adamant, proud of his power (Attack +2, Spcl. Attack -1).

Item: Blue cape and silver chain on neck. The chain is ordinary, but the cape hides a combat net for snaring a foe-Although how long it will hold a strong Pokemon is doubtable. Battle item is an Empol-Seal (PMD exclusive item) worn on a ring.

Personality: Drake looks at (or down upon) the world with an amused, careful superiority. He is very much both the protective elder and chivalrous knight in character, taking in with thoughtful vision the antics of all his inferiors. Drake is eternally ready to take a weaker Pokemon under his wing (flipper?), but has something of a lack of insight regarding when to actually put his own safety first (fatal character flaw).
Nevertheless, leadership-wise, Drake is best suited for the top of the pyramid, or at least very high up. His regal nature makes him a born leader and advisor. He does, however, face signifigant difficulty giving up power, or working as an inferior.
When times are calm and peaceful, Drake has shown the ability to laugh and smile truly, but with a certain reluctance. Laughter in more troubled times is usually a way to relieve stress, prove a point, or even intimidate.

Appearance: Drake is very large and steadily built for a Penguin Pokemon, with less of a waddle in his step than his brethren. Drake is an excellent physical specimen of an Empoleon, with a beak crown in the shape of a trident symbol, smooth black feathers, a carefully honed glint of sharpness in his wing blades. Drake isn't often seen without his royal blue cape, even in combat, and the silver chain around his neck.

Skills: Drake has well earned his status as an officer to Arceus. His physical prowess in combat as well as a sort of natural elegance, a protective and defiant nature and an impressive aura of power make Drake very hard to match in one-on-one fighting as well as skirmishes.
In addition to being something of a one-'mon attack squad, Drake posesses considerable ability to rally other Pokemon under a leader, be it himself or other (Large-scale tactics and strategy aren't his specialty). His in keeping lessers in line is admirable, and he is quite capable of talking or even staring down anyone who challenges authority as well as being able to keep spirits strong and raise the hope of the fighting ranks. He is strict in rule but ever-mindful of any plight among the lower classes, and this has made him popular among many. Cruelty in war has never, however, been something he has tolerated, no matter how desperate the situation-Both an honourable trait and a potential downfall.

This thread will be edited as necessary.

And I'll add an IC thread soon.

God damn. That intro!! I likes. Allot.

Now, for Sune...

Bio - Sune

Species: Shiny Ninetales

Gender: Female

Nature: Adamant (Attack+, Sp. Attack-)

'Affinity' Moves: Overheat, Psyshock, Fire Blast, Facade

Ability: Flash Fire

Personality: Hard headed, smart, overly confident at times. Overprotective and loving towards family and friends, no matter how few that may be. She can be quite uncouth at times and rather difiant, though she's always puts her morals first and is undyingly loyal to the one who took her in, a Typhlostion that is as high up in the ranks as she is, and his loyalty to Arceus extends her own loyalty to him as well. She has a sore spot against water pokemon, because when she was younger they had always bullied her, even as she went into training to become a solder in Arceus's army, by her own classmates.

Appearance: Head 'crest' tends to droop and cover the top of her head and is rather short. Blue tips of fur are lighter than normal. She wears a hoop earring in her left ear, seeming to be in the shape of a snake.

Skills: Better at long ranged attacks than close combat, she's quick on her feet and is quite hard to catch. A flury of flames or the pulse of a psychic burst of energy is a favored attack form of hers, but when close combat is called for she has a rather nasty bite. The other officers don't take to well to her, even if she does hold poewer behind her rather 'pessant like' behaviours, as their more closed minded in the aspect as a meir pessant should not be able to take such a role. She's not too fond of them, ether, as she only holds a true bond with her caretaker.

Backstory: She spent her younger years stealing from bread stands and hiding from their angered owners, as well as the water pokemon that liked to bully her in the outermost rings of their kingdom, only a mere Vulpix then, when one of the high-ranking officers from the inner rings of the kingdom came through for a patrol. It was unusal to see such a high-rank here, but now she would suppose that it was fate. He, a Typhlosion found her huddled underneath a broken wooden desk, her fur susted with dirt and grime from a recent skermish with the water pokemon as she tried to hide. Having a rather soft spot for the young'uns, he'd taken pitty on her and took her in, the two quickly growing close for a father/daughter sort of relationship. After she had shown skill within the batteling arts, nomatter how slight they were, he'd enrolled her in the acadamy. Soon, one thing or another happened and time passed, and all tooo soon she was rising through the ranks. Formerly a pesant living on the streets, she had grown into a beautiful Ninetales as well as one of the highest ranking officers.

(How the hell do you put it in the spoiler-thing???)

[Antarctic Termite]

Good character ! Looking forward to roleplaying. I think I'll be able to post an IC today.

Also-

[HIDER=Insert name][/HIDER ]

[IstariaDragon]

Awesome! And thank ye.

[Antarctic Termite]

Here it is!

[IstariaDragon]

Yay!

[Antarctic Termite]

I posted~ Also, I think we should think up a few names for the places we know will be in the RP- Arceus' city, Rayquazas Province and so on. As well as an obscure guideline for the places we'll be travelling through.

I'll start the sky dragon attack whenever you're ready.

EDIT: Also, would you like me to put a bit of Drakes history in his bio?

[IstariaDragon]

mm... yeah. Would be a good idea- and I think the sky dragons attack, if you want, could be held off till, perhaps later?? I think I got a bit of an idea.. and for his bio-- yeah, I think that that'd be a good idea. Would also help oyu remember whats what, I know it helps me. Lol.

[Antarctic Termite]

*Is tired* Riiight... I'll fix them things when I've replied and stuff. I'm feeling drained for some reason.

[IstariaDragon]

Then, take a rest-- like Drake, eh? :P

And I just had an idea-- do you htink that Drake and Sune should run into eachother there, maybe? Or perhaps theres a quarrel of some sort between two or three of the pokemon at the spring and Sune is already there, and manages to seperate them??
